Top Story
- 4chan is back. (Slashdot)
This will annoy the terminally-online haters and delight the... Also terminally-online haters.
I don't think I've ever visited 4chan, but as a natural-born archivist I'm glad that it's not lost.
Tech News
- Hyte - maker of the Hololive limited edition computer cases and apparently other stuff as well - has suspended shipments of certain products to the US due to tariff uncertainties. (Tom's Hardware)
Maybe they could try shipping them to Australia instead, because it cost me as much in shipping as the case itself to get the Calliope Mori model.
- Blue Shield California shared personal information of 4.7 million members with Google Ads. (CSO Online)
The outsourced site analytics to Google and then shared the Google Analytics data with Google Ads, because... Because they're dumbfucks, basically.
- Do not buy GMKtec's mini-NAS. (Jeff Geerling)
This device offers four M.2 SSD slots and an Intel N150 CPU in a compact device, just a little larger than a regular mini-PC.
It also overheats.
Badly. The low-power CPU hits 85C under load and the SSDs hit 70C at idle.
If you throttle the CPU to just 800MHz, and throttle the M.2 bays to PCIE 1.0 speeds - still fast enough to flood 2.5Gb Ethernet - and also attach heatsinks to two of the I/O chips, and attach high-end heatsinks to the SSDs, then you can get those temperatures under control.
And somewhere along the way it stopped crashing.
But at that point it was twice the size it originally shipped at and ran slower than a Raspberry Pi.

But Iran was importing both solid and liquid rocket fuel from the Norcoms. Plus, muslims. Can't tell 'em what to do. Apparently both fuels are hard to make.

The media are mocking Trump for wearing a blue suit. They selectively edited (now that's a shocker!) a photo to crop Trump into a group of black-suited attendees. The wider shot shows a lot of blue suits. Fake news with fake outrage. Just another day.
My criticism is Trump's suit was too electric of a blue for a funeral. A more subdued dark to midnight blue suit would have been better. I never owned a black suit. To funerals, I always wore a solid dark blue suit. I had a lighter blue Glen-plaid and a dark blue chalk stripe. Neither were appropriate, IMO, for a funeral. (Weddings, yes; funeral, no.) And no bold bright ties. Something subdued. But that's just my former suit-wearing self talking.

Saturday Night "Club ONT" April 26, 2025 [The 3 Ds]
Welcome to Club ONT! A collaboration of your Sunday through Wednesday ONT Crew - The Disco, The Doggo, and The Dino.
Saturday Night Jokes An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart. "Wal-Mart?" the preacher exclaimed. "Why Wal-Mart?" "Then I'll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week."
A woman, after several failed relationships, decides to put a singles ad in the paper. She states in the ad that she's looking for an honest man who won't beat her, walk out on her and is good in bed. A few days later the doorbell rings and she opens the door to find a guy w with no arms or legs on the porch. "I'm here to answer your ad" he says. She looks at him skeptically and says "Well, you have no arms so you can't beat me and you have no legs, so you can't walk out on me. But are you any good in bed?" He says "Hey, I rang the doorbell didn't I?!"
Kid is already a legend. 😂😂🕺🕺

In her post, the blogger detailed her experience, beginning with a dining ritual where guests pluck a leaf straight from a potted plant, dip it in sauce, and consume it raw, while a server elaborated on the concept of "ecological fusion cuisine." As the meal unfolds, diners are treated to an array of unconventional dishes. One such offering requires guests to lick honey and pollen from ice cubes. Another course showcased a bowl of "black goo," meticulously crafted to replicate the pungent scent of the parasitic Rafflesia flower, notorious for its foul odour, while the waiter explained that it evokes the scent of decaying flesh. The meal reaches its peak with a striking dessert called "Flowers Inserted into Elephant Dung." This dish "creatively" features a base of elephant dung that mimics crispy crumbs, adorned with herbal perfume, fruit jam, pollen, and honey sorbet.Nope. Even more nope. For the avoidance of doubt, Club ONT does not serve Elephant poop.

Sicilian cheese throwing game thrills Italian town
A centuries old tradition of cheese-throwing has brought excitement to the town of Novara di Sicilia as its residents both young and old trooped out en masse to participate in the game. The event known as the 'Maiorchino tournament' gets its name from the specific type of cheese produced in the area which is used in the games and typically takes place on carnival afternoons. The game itself involves teams of two or three players who take turns rolling a hefty 10-12kg cheese wheel as far as possible along a designated path of about two kilometres using a 3-3.5 metre long rope. The team who throws the cheese the furthest is declared the winner with the cheese itself as the grand prize.
A brewery in Belgium swapped painted eggs for frothy brews when it celebrated Easter with the "World's Biggest Beer Hunt." The fifth annual Easter event at the Aywiers Gardens in Lasne, Belgium, saw over 1,000 registered hunters searching the grounds for 12,000 hidden bottles of Lutgarde beer. Hidden among the beers was a special golden bottle, which earned its finder a prize of his weight in beer.
Club ONT is all natural and made without artificial sweeteners or preservatives. No synthetic ingredients have been added to enhance Club ONT coloring or appearance. Club ONT has not had Botox, liposuction, laser resurfacing or a tummy tuck. This is as good as it gets. If Club ONT's best isn't good enough for you, then lower your standards.

A guy went to a leftwing rally, went up to a marcher and asked her what her advice to right leaning people was, "Listen to women, especially minority women - and really listen don't just ignore women because it is easy"
So the guy followed up with, "Ah then can you tell me what a woman is so I know who to listen to?"
And...the marcher almost had her head explode a la Scanners. She started to give an answer 4 times...then gave up and walked away.

so here is my secret: I cut up about a tablespoon of Ivory bar soap, a tablespoon of Boraxo, and I heat it on the stove until it boils, then let the bar soap dissolve completely, and let the whole mess cool down and gel up.
Then I rub it through a sieve to make it re-liquefy, add some Bay Rum or a dash or three of the Citrus Musk, and put it in the pump bottle dispenser in the bathroom for the cheapest liquid pump hand soap you can get.
It is pretty good hand soap too, it is as thick as standard pump soap, it gets dirt and grease off your hands, and it isn't too harsh on your skin.

What's really unbelievable is when you get in an elevator by yourself and learn that a previous occupant has left a fetid atmosphere of bad cologne behind.
I've even known cases where the elevator stops, you walk out into the hallway, and say "Yep, I guess he got off at this floor too."

Apparently a provincial court has ruled that the gummint has to pay for a prisoner to get both a fake penis AND a fake vagina.

Use a high pressure nozzle for the penis, and 6" of garden hose for the vagina. The bladder is hooked up to the garden hose.
They complied with the order. The prisoner is screwed.

Really hard to make much of this, as this is a major disaster, regime may well not know what happened, so taking no chances.
Lots of reports of chemical precursors for rocket fuel (bought from Chy-nah) being unloaded at this port in last 3 months. The former newspaper NYT sez IRGC sources confirm rocket fuel-related chemicals probably the culprit. But again, lots of possibilities, as likely other candidate chemicals present at the port. In a country like Iran, everything from sabotage by Moon-based Joo Lasers to sheer incompetence to bad luck are equally likely.

I took Fitz's body to Gulf Coast Veterinary Clinic, a large 24/7 hospital in Houston for them to hold him overnight. Tomorrow I'll take him up to Texas A&M Veterinary College for an autopsy.
The autopsy is part of a study they're conducting on dilated cardiomyopathy in Borzoi, a thinning of the heart walls. Delilah's son Spark died from it and Dot, Delilah's sister, had a daughter die from it. I suspect Fitz had the same condition.

Apparently the Honduran illegal mama was deported, along with her 11 year olf Honduran-born daughter, and she decided to take the younger child with her. If they had required the 2 year-old to remain, Trump would be accused of "breaking up families".

After all the car attacks in Germany and other parts of Europe, including parts of the US, there is a knee-jerk thought of SJS. This driver may have had issues, but those are issues we deal with in the West all the time. We don't need the SJS ingredient added to the mix. I hope we eventully figure that out. It'll be after my time, though, either way.

Popping in kind of late - recovering from hiking seven or so miles and 1000' elevation gain to the Hollywood Sign this morning. Actual end of trail was Mt. Lee, the 'summit' with the antennas above and behind the sign.
Not a bad hike but rain started when we were about 3/4 of the way up and continued unabated and in quantities all the way back to the parking lot. Air temperature was low 50's the entire trek.
It is highly unusual to have any rain this late in the season - we don't usually get rain in the summer months, including late spring and early fall. Rain was forecast but very often this time of year it's either a false alarm or only a few drops materialize - enough to make the car dirty....
Relaxed the rest of the day and tried to warm up.
Sorry to hear about the pup Hadrian. Condolences.

Saturday Evening Movie Thread - 4/26/2025
Ivan Reitman
Ivan Reitman is not someone many people would hold up as an example for auteur theory. I think auteur theory quickly ran amok from the original idea as posited by Francois Truffaut in his Cahiers du Cinema article which essentially amounted to a pair of writers were taking control of adaptations and missing the point of the original texts except when working with Jacques Cocteau. Combined with the magazines focus on directors like Hitchcock and Hawks, the idea became "directors are king" rather than "there's usually one role that takes the most prominent creative control of a film." The article itself was arguing that the writers were doing that in everything they did except when they worked with Cocteau, who became the main creative force when he was directing.
Anyway, I start this essay about Ivan Reitman, no one's idea of an auteur, with that tangent because even though his career is mostly dotted with middling to bad comedies that aren't particularly funny, despite the presence of one of the best movies of the 80s, Ghostbusters, under his belt, he had a shockingly clear voice. He just...wasn't a particularly good filmmaker. And that's not the kind of director auteur cultists adhere to (Kubrick? Yes. Reitman? No.). They have to be both great and distinctive. Indistinct and great gets forgotten (think Wyler and even Cahiers own favorite Hawks). Distinctive and not very good? Never embraced at all.
Now, I didn't hate Reitman's body of work. I just found it overall disappointing. However, this post isn't about bashing him but tracing how even a director like Reitman can exert control over his films, and how early experiences can influence a director's entire approach to filmmaking.
Bill Murray
If there's one reason that Ivan Reitman had a feature filmmaking career, it was because Bill Murray decided to show up to the set of Meatballs. Reitman's first two directed features actually predate Meatballs by several years, but after Cannibal Girls (I could never find a copy of Foxy Lady), Reitman directed theater for a while and then produced Animal House, the John Landis film. The producing team, including Reitman, of Meatballs, wanted Landis to come back for Meatballs, but he was too busy making The Blues Brothers to commit. So, Reitman just took over.
If you look closely, Meatballs is actually two movies smashed together. On the one hand, it's the kind of standard sex comedy about teens but set in a summer camp. On the other hand, it's Bill Murray ambling around and being funny. There's a clear delineation between the two because after the initial production period, there were test screenings where Reitman figured out that Murray was the best part of it. So, they went back for more production to shoot more Murray stuff which ended up at least twenty minutes of the final film. Murray completely dominates the final product, far more than the actual story necessitates (whole subplots seem to get completely cut after a certain point), and it was Reitman's recipe for his first success, the biggest money-making Canadian film up to that point in movie history.
Reitman followed that up with Stripes, a film more purposefully built around Murray being himself on camera, and Ghostbusters, his most tightly scripted film thanks to the combination of Dan Aykroyd's insane original ideas and Harold Ramis' rewrite. It also had enough room for Murray to be himself without dominating the film completely (the expense of the film's special effects probably had a not small part of it), while also opening up a small role for Rick Moranis to be funny freewheelingly like Murray.
These three movies set the production process that Reitman would follow for the rest of his career: Get a script and put people in it while waiting for them to be funny. It's how he established his career. It was how he learned to make movies in the Hollywood system: rely on your actors, preferably stars to help sell the film, to lead to laughs and financial success.
The problem was his taste of scripts was...suspect at best.
The Post-Ghostbusters Era
His immediate follow up, though, seems more like an attempt at respect. Legal Eagles is a largely unremarkable Robert Redford vehicle and comedy/drama hybrid about an assistant district attorney who finds meaning and love when he helps a new defense attorney with a case. It's not funny or particularly memorable, and it reveals the problem with Reitman's mode of production. He needed Redford to be Bill Murray. He needed Redford to carry scenes on charm, charisma, and the ability to make people laugh. And yet, every time Reitman demands it of him, the scenes are just kind of dull.
That's not to say that everything is terrible through the late 80s and early 90s. It's just that the scripts, even at their best, often felt like they needed more work. The obvious example is Ghostbusters II, thrown together last second from some random ideas Aykroyd had and in order to meet a release date and with a lot of reshoots after some botched test screenings, but even the films I like, like Kindergarten Cop and Dave, they just feel like first drafts where the right combination of things came together for Reitman, his cast melding with the material rather well. I mean, the contrast of Arnold Schwarzenegger corralling a bunch of 6 year olds is fun. Kevin Kline being charming and in over his head as the fake president is fun. The scripts just have the kind of issues I would expect to get ironed out in some quick rewrites. The basic conceit of Cop makes no sense, and Dave straddles this line between fairy tale and real world-expose of DC malpractice and methods poorly, so to speak.
But nothing was terrible, and nothing did badly at the box office. Reitman's career was showing no signs of slowing or even needing a rethink. And then he decided to get Arnold Schwarzenegger pregnant.
In Search of Comedy
Junior is a terrible movie. It's a single joke (Schwarzenegger is pregnant) played out for nearly two-hours. That's barely enough material to fill an SNL skit of five minutes, and Reitman drags it out forever. The sight of Schwarzenegger in a pregnant suit and eating weird food is mildly entertaining, but that sort of image doesn't show up until the movie is over an hour in. What's supposed to be entertaining up to that point? Are there written jokes? Are there funny gags to play out? Did the guy who made his career out of filming Bill Murray be funny ensure that the script was in that state before he went to camera?
No, he didn't. The film is supposed to be a screwball comedy (Emma Thomson is playing Katherine Hepburn from Bringing Up Baby badly), but there's precious little comedy which then butts up against the melodramatic tones of the movie's final act (apparently all reshoots, from what I've read). Reitman trust Arnold and Danny DeVito to find the comedy in an unfunny script...and they couldn't find it. Neither are unfunny people in general, but they were simply lost in this terrible script and Reitman was just waiting for them to find their ways out. It didn't work.
And things kept going after that in the same direction. Get Billy Crystal and Robin Williams in a movie together, and it'll be hilarious, right? Not if it's Father's Day. Get Harrison Ford and up and coming starlet Anne Heche in a thriller/comedy (with massive, massive script issues) in Six Days and Seven Nights, and Ford's charm will carry everything right?
Reitman had been professionally making movies since the late seventies, and twenty years into his career, it felt like he had no idea what actually made movies good or bad or funny or not. The drag of his later career is so bad that it's the kind of run you expect from people who never made a name for themselves, desperately getting any work they can, rather than the guy who made Ghostbusters. the only saving grace of his final stretch of comedies, for me, is Evolution. It's a mess, not good, but it feels like the cast find the right groove (especially Orlando Jones) and someone saved the final act (I assume a studio editor) from falling into melodramatic nonsense like Reitman's films had been descending into for more than a decade.
After that, it's unremarkable the confused and unfunny (My Super Ex-Girlfriend) followed by the unremarkably bland (No Strings Attached) and then the perfectly competent if not terribly compelling (Draft Day). His final work at all in the movie business before his death last year was producing the Ghostbusters films, the first written and directed by his own son, Jason (who has many cameos across his father's filmography).
Auteur Theory
So, why did I start this article talking about Francois Truffaut and Cahiers du Cinema?
Because, despite my not really liking most of Reitman's body of work very much, I found the same kind of repeated threads across his filmography as I did other directors I enjoy more.
The easiest thing to see is the rise of the schlub. This is most potently manifested in Meatballs where Bill Murray is a complete slob who cares about nothing (leading his fellow campers and counselors in a chant about nothing mattering after a bad day of inter-camp Olympic competition) and then wins the competition anyway. This continues through Stripes where the slovenly class gets the special assignment in Germany to the outsider con-artists and scientists turning their ideas into a successful business and saving New York in Ghostbusters. But it continues well beyond that, manifesting in Twins, Dave, Father's Day, Six Days and Seven Nights, Evolution, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, No Strings Attached, and Draft Day.
It's just that, in Meatballs it was the poor guys. By No Strings Attached, it was the son of a famous television star who was trying to make it on his own and in Draft Day the general manager of a professional sports team (that sucks).
These aren't small things that pop up from here to there, they're driving narrative concerns that define character traits and overall contours of the drama. They're as important to Reitman's filmography as the idea of identity in in-groups is to Martin Scorsese's.
It's just that the movies are simply...not good enough to merit that much attention. There's good stuff. There's mediocre stuff that slightly entertains me. But who wants to dig into the everyman aspect of My Super Ex-Girlfriend? Does the fact that most people don't like the film negate the fact that Reitman obviously has something particular he wanted to say through the medium of film? Nope, not in the least. If you love his work, that's an angle to dig into and discover like all the other film nerds and their preferred filmmakers.
I think Reitman is as much a creative with something to say as some of my favorites. I just don't think he was very good at it.
The Ultimate Ivan Reitman Film
I do think there's a movie that most perfectly encapsulates who Reitman wanted to be as a filmmaker. The combination of script, movie star, comedy, and light melodrama that he was obviously searching for.
And that's Dave. It's not his masterpiece Ghostbusters, which he's more of the director for hire managing the set while the cast makes the most of a good script, but Dave, the Capra-esque story of an everyman who looks exactly like the president taking over when the president suffers a massive stroke. It's got a decent script (again, I think it needs a rewrite, but whatever), and room for Kline, a genuinely funny actor, to stretch himself in both comedic and dramatic ways within a relatively small box with some fairy tale aspects. It's where Reitman was able to combine his production process of letting Kline find comedy, his thematic focus of the everyman winning the day against the powerful figures, and having a feel-good, lightly melodramatic ending.
If there's one movie to define Reitman's career, it's Dave.
Ghostbusters is better, though.
So, thank you Mr. Reitman for some good times, but it might have been better if you'd gotten Jason to pick your scripts as soon as he was able to read.

Meatballs (Rating 2.5/4) Full Review "It's funny, and a celebration of the slob mentality, but its final act suffers just a bit too much for my tastes." [Prime]
Stripes (Rating 3/4) Full Review "Still, it made me laugh. I laughed consistently. I was entertained. Successful comedy, in my book." [Personal Collection]
Ghostbusters (Rating 4/4) Full Review "Whatever the circumstances, the combination came together perfectly to create an all-around entertainment that still works decades after its release." [Personal Collection]
Legal Eagles (Rating 2/4) Full Review "I mean, this isn't good. However, I find it frustrating and thin rather than outright bad." [Library]
Twins (Rating 2.5/4) Full Review "But the final product isn't bad. It's just kind of a mesh of different ideas not done that well while the bulk of the film is carried by likeable leads well within their acting ranges." [Netflix]
Ghostbusters II (Rating 2.5/4) Full Review "It's a mess, helped none at all by the tortured screenwriting process, terrible previews, and reshoots, but it still has the core charm of the film in somewhat lesser, safer form." [Personal Collection]
Kindergarten Cop (Rating 3/4) Full Review "Really, I enjoy this film pretty thoroughly. It's fun. It carries a couple of different genres decently. It effectively uses its lead in the small acting box he operates in. It's a good 110 minutes at the movies." [Library]
Dave (Rating 3/4) Full Review "An easy film with a winning central performance, Dave is one of Ivan Reitman's proudest achievements." [Library]

But will forge ahead.
I was shocked at how...forgettable most of Reitman's output was. TJM sees an authorial voice, I don't. What I do see was the Reitman had, for many years, the power to get big name Hollywood actors to agree to be in his movies. And that IS power in Hollywood.
It's just when he gets a good cast, he literally doesn't seem to know what to do with them. (Which is also the problem with the all-female Ghostbusters movie and Paul Feige incompetence made a bad idea worse.)
Ghostbusters is magical. It is one of those rare 'perfect' movies. Everything works, the comedy is solid as a rock and precise as a watch. And nothing ever even comes close to it. Which tells me that Reitman wasn't the reason for Ghostbuster's success.
To me, he was a hired gun who just happened to have big name Hollywood stars who would take his calls.
And fuck Dave, it was made by progressive Leftists and they can horsefuck.

It's not a good voice, or that strong, but the connective thematic tissue is too prevalent to be brushed aside.
Maybe it was just kind of default underdog stuff, but it was almost every movie. Pure chance would have brought more variation.

Now, would Roger Corman be considered an auteur? He ranges from artistic-adjacent to deliriously trashy, but there is a Corman stamp on the grilled cheez.
I watched "Frankenstein Unbound" and it was a nifty gothic mad scientist story bookended by 80's sci fi camp. Can't go wrong with John Hurt and Raul Julia, and I would have lied more Jason Patrick and Michael Hutchens as Byron and Shelly.

I just watched "Wings" recently. It's technically brilliant but hampered by the main character being a wanker who generally makes life harder for everyone around him, and yet that's the guy we're supposed to root for. Clara Bow is criminally underused (other than giving us perhaps her only nip slip of her career).

"Wuthering Heights" (1939), "Madame Bovary" (1949), my first encounter with these two classic stories. Both held my interest throughout. 'Bovary' was almost interesting enough to tempt me to read the actual novel, were it not for the fact that books are for fags.
"Try and Get Me!" (1950) Desperate but totally not-gay husband and father picks up slick hunk Lloyd Bridges at a bowling alley. He goes back to fancyboy's hotel room to watch him strip off his shirt, flex, and perfume himself, while handing him his shoes and handbrushes, and approving his choice of necktie. Violent crime wave inevitably ensues.

Outside the dregs of a studio system, all directors have some say over what projects they take. That gives them a degree of control over what they make, which allows them some level of being able to move their next production in directions they want.
It can be no more than choosing one of a few scripts offered to them, the one that most interests them.

In animation, Brad Bird explains that he passed around the storyboard for the climax of Incredibles until it couldn't be done anymore. I don't believe him, there was something left wanting about it. An example of of finshed, done, and no room for improvement would be the first Kung Fu Panda.
Live action "no room for improvement", the end of the (otherwise bad) Lone Ranger movie with Gore Verbinski.
"Sudden yet inevitable" scene starts when the train whistles and the lady screams. We know exactly what is going to happen, we just don't know how.

Hard sci-fi is rare. Good hard sci-fi is even rarer.
The ones who know the science generally can't write. The ones who can write generally don't know the science.
There are definite exceptions, but it gets even harder in film which trends harder towards mass appeal.

I saw a (supposed) documentary about extracting Jesus' DNA from the Shroud of Turin. Inspired by the success of reviving the direwolf, I think we should pursue this. Create a new Tyrannosaur, created a new Jesus, and Jesus can ride a dinosaur!

I think it is more of a monster movie, the scifi element is in the genetic engineering; otherwise it is The Lost World or The Giant Shrews with a plausible backstory, I think.
[centering my soapbox]
Science fiction is a genre of people and societies coping and exploiting the changes caused by new technology, so Princess of Mars is science fiction, but Jurassic Park is pretty much The Ghost and the Darkness, or Beowulf - which is also an "encounter the monster, chase the monster, get killed by the monster, defeat the monster" story.
It is also why Dune is science fiction in how it explores and exploits technology, but the Star Wars movies tend to be just people dealing with odd politics and the main struggle is within the characters, not dealing with the outcome of technology.

QT said that it wasn't very long, but he kept rewriting it. Once it became half an hour, he tried to give a good reason to cut it back down again, and didn't find one.
Polished but then rushed: The Joker scene where he goes on Murray's late night show. You could say that this is how late-night works, a 20-minute conversation cut down to 7. But it felt like there was a longer scene that wasn't allowed to breathe. The tension would have held it up fine.

Maybe I'm quibbling here but, I'll grant you that he has an underdog theme as a consistency. But that's just a theme, it's not a character hook (Howard Hawks had his 'Hawksian women'), or a voice, or a cinematic language.
He liked underdogs. But that's not a voice, I don't think.

Hollywood stopped trying to appeal to China about 10 years ago.
Chinese films began dominating the Chinese box office, and Hollywood had no choice but to move on. There's still some Chinese money moving around, but the weird Chinese inserts like in The Martian and Transformers 5 (I think it was that one) stopped about a decade ago. Those were the biggest signs that Hollywood was trying to sell tickets in China.
Hollywood's problems now aren't tied at all to China. They're self inflicted.

I think the last one to get funding through Alibaba was Fallout.
But, MI is one of those franchises Hollywood can still sell to some degree in China. Big action spectacles sell well almost everywhere. And at $400 million just for production, Hollywood needs every penny at the box office, even 10% of the money they get from the Chinese box office (the rest to the state). MI Final Reckoning is something Hollywood really wants to release in China.

I enjoyed Late Night With the Devil. A desperate late night host, allegedly based on Conan O'Brian, needs to make some noise if he's to avoid cancelation. On Halloween night, he puts on an all spook show with a psychic, a debunker, and, the star of the show, the young girl soul survivor of a Satanic cult massacre. The host pushes everything to the limit until he goes to far . . .

I made sure I put some skin in the game - it is the least I could do. I came to appreciate how hard he worked and how few illusions that what he was doing had anything to do with making fancy pant art. There is certain beauty in all that. I really wish I could have spent time with him.
Now, with that out of the way, how about a top twenty Grindhouse-Motorcycle-Women In Prison essay? The arrow of my taste in movies, art, and music often flies from a low brow quiver. I am a product of the sixties: I can't help myself here.

I just wanted to put in a big cheer for Rian Johnson's classical murder mystery film from 2019, Knives Out, with Daniel Craig as a Southern-sounding private investigator and a raft of famous faces as the suspects. It is fairly clued, fast-moving, and full of little gags (none of the family members can seem to remember which country Ana de Armas's nurse character, "Marta," comes from). Plus it has some solid reasoning and logic by Craig's Benoit Blanc character, and a satisfying solution to the mystery at the climax. It stands up there with The Last of Sheila in my personal list of film mysteries.

Bill Murray. Yeah. He is the pepper in the pot that gets under appreciated until it goes missing. Another example of how great Murray is at being Bill Murray is in Wes Anderson's film. He steals every scene he is in and I love it all. When Anderson cast Tom Hanks as Bill Murray in Atomic City - what the hell? - what a complete disaster. It was in that film I came to grasp what Murray adds to ensemble. He is one best comedic actors/personalities ever. Thanks for the great observation.

In the Ghostbusters time, I think it was Roger Ebert who said that Murray plays the character who is a stand-in for the audience. Everybody in the theatre believes that, were he in the same outlandish circumstances, he too would come up with the perfect funny lines. ("Not bad for a quadruped." "You don't often see that kind of behavior in a major appliance.")
He's not my favorite actor. Yet, in my short list of "Movies I Would Change Nothing About," he is in three of them. Maybe that just means his taste in scripts aligns with mine.

I see that Stephen Sondheim is in it as himself. It was he who co-wrote The Last of Sheila fifty years ago with Anthony Perkins.

I found myself extraordinarily underwhelmed, sadly. Not sure why Val Kilmer's performance is so beloved, may he rest in peace. I kept trying to figure out what was wrong with his mouth every time he spoke.
I did enjoy Michael Biehn and Powers Boothe's performances, as over the top as they were. And of course, Dana Delany is hotter than the inside of the Sun, so that was nice.
Perhaps I have just been spoiled by Clint Eastwood's westerns.
Oh, well.

I concur with your third paragraph. And no, I did not think Kilmer was the definitive Doc Holliday. I keep thinking of the Earps and Holliday in the old Trek episode "Spectre of the Gun." They probably looked and acted more like the real people did.

Just checked Reitman's IMDB entry -- weirdly enough, he's credited as a producer on Cronenberg's SHIVERS and RABID. Unless there's another Ivan Reitman and IMDB garbled the listings.
And no, I don't try to memorize stuff like that, but when I noticed that name in the opening credits of those flicks, it kinda jumped out at me as just a tad incongruous. Who can say why?

So, I submit, was the original True Grit (and, I guess, the remake too). Fourteen-year-old girls do not usually figure as the lead character in Westerns.

Stop Making Sense (4K Remaster)
Talking Heads
https://youtu.be/BVPcgwY-9Y8
Everything about this film is spot on. First off, the band is at its peak; the execution of the music is breathtaking. But there is so more here. David Byrne created something much more than music here. It is great live theater an it is a great musical without being a musical. Plus the technical production is stellar. This is one concert film that should be played at 10 and with dancing shoes on.
Everything is Illuminated
Actors: Elijah Wood, Eugene Hutz, Boris Leskin
Director: Liev Schreiber
Amazon Prime
It is something of a road movie, it something of journey of self discovery, and it is about coming to terms with terrible events. I could say much more about what I think about this film but I think it is best watched without knowing anything about it. That is how came to see it.

I love 'em when there is something original or astonishing about them, or when they echo something in the classical written mystery. There is a scene in Last of Sheila where we see James Mason experimenting with a set of clues; that echoes various scenes in Ellery Queen stories.
I also want the thunderbolt ending -- a real surprise. When there was a gag in Knives Out about mystery-loving State Trooper Wagner possibly being the killer, I jumped -- if they'd done that and it had made sense, I'd have loved it.
A well-concealed murderer, and his unmasking, is a delight. There are few more dramatic moments in a movie or book than when the detective says, "Now I know who the killer is," and doesn't tell us right away.

I think author Andy Weir (The Martian) does a great job of laying out complex science so that a moron like me can understand it. Looking forward to the movie version of Weir*s Project Hail Mary. It was a fantastic book. Hopefully the directing tan dem doing the film can bring it to the screen as well as Ridley did for The Martian.

Hobby Thread - April 26, 2025 [TRex]
.jpg)
Welcome hobbyists! Pull up a chair and sit a spell with the Horde in this little corner of the interweb. This is the mighty, mighty officially sanctioned Ace of Spades Hobby Thread. We gave the Ace of Spades Wheel of Hobbies(TM) a spin and it came up with automata!
A (Paul): "Because I am completely unsuited to make anything else."
I wish I'd gotten the complexion a little more peaches-and-cream (the subject is a natural redhead and quite pale) but it still turned out pretty good. Removed the background (she was sitting under a deep yellow sunshade), dropped out her hand holding back the veil as it would have been too distracting (and enigmatic by itself over there) and re-draped the veil to compensate.Steps in the process:
Here is a bit of the progression as it went from original photo to three and a half hours into the block-in (with my first rough attempt at changing the veil), to nine hours in with all the green primer covered up (and my second attempt at changing the veil), and finally nineteen hours along and it's done.
Words of wisdom:
"Because despite all our troubles, when things are grim out in that wide round world of ours, that's when it's really important to have a good hobby." Posted by: tankascribe at June 22, 2024 07:41 PM (HWxAD).
If you have trouble finding something in the content or comments that resonates with you, hijack the thread for your hobbying as you see fit. We will feature a different theme next time. What are you hobbying? We love showing off Horde hobbying. Send thoughts, suggestions and photos of your hobbying to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Do mighty things.

This week I visited my local pipe/cigar shop in the suburbs for the local Pipe Club meeting. Six guys plus me, ranging in age from 45 to geezer, all with beards and bent pipes. We had to sit out on the covered deck in front of the store instead of inside in the A/C, as another group had grabbed the cigar lounge to watch a sporting event on TV. The temp and humidity weren't too bad. All of the guys seemed quite conservative.
One had some jarred samples of various pipe tobaccos. In fact he had a pipe *box* rather than just a pouch, with room for several pipes and jars. He offered me one leaf called Cult Blood Red Moon -- "a cherry flavor," he said. It smelled like those cherry-flavored cold medicines my mother made me take at age seven. I politely declined.
A good chance to meet some like-minded people, puff, and pontificate.

There was one that was advertised in Famous Monsters magazine in the early Sixties. It was a black box that hummed and shook, then a hand emerged from under a trap and pushed a lever, then retracted swiftly back into the box. (It was featured in a Season One Man From U.N.C.L.E., the one with 12-year-old Kurt Russell as guest star.)

The engine issues are solved and I've had the boat out of the slip several times for test runs.
Now I have a lot of problems with the running rigging in that it has been exposed to the environment for the last 40 years and is basically dissolving into fine powder. I'm replacing it piece by piece.
One of two things will happen now. I'll spend my last dollar getting this boat properly rigged to sail, or my name will come up for a larger slip and I'll just scuttle this one and get a bigger newer boat.
It is all in the hands of fate now,

Thanks! I just went around, and stuffed drywall mud into all the countersunk screwheads, and into flaws in the painted wood. My door and window casings in this large room are just 1X3 whitewood furring strips (tried to select the best pieces I could), sanded, edges beveled, and painted with interior house paint, contrasting color to the walls. Cheap and cheerful. The wood that trims the interior of the door and window openings is clear fir, stained.
Now I can start putting tools away.

Wolfus,
Glad you got the chance to puff and pontificate. The image reminded me of just before opening day when the Nationals were formed. Five older guys at the grocery, all with white beards, getting hot dogs and rolls for the season opener. We realized we were all there for the same reason and spent half an hour chatting about games and famous players we've seen. It was very pleasant.
BTW, the Cult blood Red Moon is actually an excellent cherry blend for my taste. Plenty of cherry flavor but it burns slow and cool. A world away from the old Paladin Black Cherry that has been around forever.

Not exactly automata (which look fantastic), but I did create a couple of fun virtual things in my brief, long-ago travels in Second Life. One was Chick 'n' Egg.
Life begins at rez, with an egg. Once rezzed, the egg just sits there for an embryonic delay. Then the head and tail and, er, wheel begin to emerge. The hatchling begins to peck and pivot and wander about within a circumscribed corral.
What was egg becomes a yellow chick for a period, then matures into the adult hen of various colors and patterns. Once during its lifespan, the hen produces an egg, which grows into a new hen.
At the end of its life cycle, the hen stops its behaviors, and fades away. Something in Second Life prevented my little virtual birds from propagating in perpetuity. I had fun, anyway.

Meet our one-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix (Red Heeler variety) who was named Piper by our granddaughters. She came to us at three months of age after having been found abandoned at about 6 weeks old on the nearby Navaho Reservation in Utah. A rescue group called Underdogs took her in, fostered her and rehabbed her for several weeks. She has fit in well with our senior citizen Australian Shepherd Buckley who showed up on the Pet Thread some years ago. They spend a lot of time rough housing and play fighting. He teaches her all his old bad habits and she teaches him a few new ones of her own. All in all a positive lift for the old boy. She stands about 16 inches at the shoulder and weighs about 50 lbs. She has freakishly long legs. She is not the smartest dog I've ever had but the d'awwww cuteness factor is off the charts. Who's a good girl?regards, muldoonWow. You're right about the cuteness factor. That portrait is remarkable.
NR Pax: On the left is our dog Kroger on the right is our guest Shanti. As you can see, Kroger was sharing his bed under protest. Thankfully, no squabbles broke out from it.Great photo. It can be hard to share . . . .
This is the last entry we received for the Pet Thread from jewells45 (November 2, 2024 post). She sent us information on rescued dogs at:
This is Brody, a rat terrier we rescued from the Independence MO animal shelter. He's 15 years and is a cuddle bug. It felt like things had stagnated at Sheps's over the past year or so but I think things may finally change. JJ finally got adopted and was the reason we could never bring a small dog into the mix. He found the perfect home. Then sadly Roscoe and Hope both crossed the rainbow bridge. They were our 2 invalids. We have also begun earnest fund raising to make big improvements to Shep's including an expansion of the original building. The cost is $900,000 and we have raised about $200,000 so far. I'm hoping to sign up to volunteer very soon.Jewells was thinking about the future of Shep's Place and the dogs served by the volunteers there even as her health declined. Donations from members of The Horde have been suggested in several posts here at AoSHQ. Check in the comment thread below for specific information on donations already underway. Jewells has introduced us to quite a few loveable senior dogs at Shep's Place over the years. We're going to miss you and the sweet dogs, Jewells. Here are a few more, from July 6, 2024:
These three cuties are the newest addition to Shep's. Again, they went straight to foster so I'll never get to meet them darn it! Maudie is 12, Augie is 11 and Chug is 8. Their owner passed away. We are hoping to adopt all three out together.What adorable doxies! And they are not all the same. Thanks for sending the great photo, Jewells! And we also met her own grand pup, Moose. He knew when she didn't feel good and tried to make her feel better. Good boy, Moose.

We call them crows although they may be ravens. Picture is from my car going down my driveway. They landed about 20 feet from my car. I stopped and took pictures because one was playing with a stick and one had a piece of bread, which means a neighbor is feeding them. I hate them! NorCal Sierra Foothills LurkerSo, to the rest of The Horde, what are your thoughts about crows and ravens? Like them around? Wish they wouldn't scare off other birds? Do they ever intimidate your pets? Why do you think the neighbor is feeding those crows? We get crows, along with other birds, in our yard. The crows are usually the boldest birds around the garden kitties.

This morning, on the day she was to be shown in Best of Breed competition at our National Specialty, hard-luck Diana came out of the RV awkwardly, wrenched her back and lamed herself. Her Majesty couldn't do anything but pull her from the competition. It's a great disappointment for us, but we hope she recovers quickly and fully.

now just a bit ago he went a bit crazy around bedtime, trying to pee and just squeezing a bit out, I called the 24 hr ER vet and they told me to get there ASAP
his ultrasound and X-rays were clear of a blockage or anything obvious so I chose not to have him admitted for further testing/procedures and treat him with some meds and take him to the normal vet yesterday.
that's going ok but the meds really knock him out and it's a little scary. that said right after his first dose he peed like a racehorse so.
I'm too nervous still to sleep I just check on him constantly the poor thing! hoping we'll both be calmer after the 10 days of medication ends, I dunno.

I have an extended family of crows I feed peanuts, but only on request--no piles of food. For one thing, rats. For another, it gets me interaction. They call each other when I give the signal. Right now it is baby time, so all the adults are off busy dealing with nests and hatchlings. I sometimes get the moody teenagers showing up, one or two at a time, to complain that nobody is feeding them and everything is boring.

We had a baby crow in the driveway that had been booted out of the nest because apparently crows do that to their youngsters. I went to the garage, grabbed a handful of kibble and left it close by while the parents were yelling at me.
Fast forward a few months later and we had close to forty crows in the trees in our house. Word gets around.

Our dog ignores most birds but she HATES vultures. (We Texans call them all buzzards.) They periodically land on our roof and she goes berserk barking at them until they fly off. I have no idea where the hate springs from, but it's been consistent since she came to live with us nearly 4 years ago.

Well, Miss D is not yet three years old. Her mother Delilah was almost 6 when she won the National in 2021 and her grandmother Lacey was 8 1/2 when she won it in 2006. So Diana has lots of time.
Borzoi are slow to mature and she won't be really competitive for at least a year. Her sister Rosalind is returning with HM and we'll be showing her to her championship. If Ros and her half-brother Zeus finish, their dam Delilah will have five champion offspring to her credit.

When we got her, we were told that ACD's are in fact very popular on the reservation, but that usually males are preferred, and females will often be abandoned or dropped off anonymously at homes of families known to work with Underdogs, knowing they will be picked up.
News to me that red heelers are also known as Queensland heelers and were originally a cross between a standard collie and a dingo.
She doesn't nip at heels but she will do a gentle bump with her snout on the back of my ankles when we are out walking.

Yes, little Bro did look almost like a puppy after his shearing. Does the hair on certain dog breeds continue to grow throughout life? I thought not, thus the term "fur." Certainly my cats' fur grows only so much and then stops. When Chekov D. Siberian was sheared in '21 to remove some clots and mats in his fur, the fur grew back to where his coat had been before the shearing, but no longer.

It turned out Marie was way ahead of her time: a gender-fluid cat. *She'd been born male* but her little batteries had never descended, and so all her vets in the past had mistakenly "assigned" her as female.
The blockage was cleared up and never recurred. But we couldn't change her name. What were we going to call her, "Murray" Antoinette? And to this day we still call her "she."

I'd try it, Ben, but I'm not sure even my good-natured cats will accept a pill. Is there a topical you've found to work? I tried two treatments of PetArmor and it hasn't done much. Advantix? FrontLine? Revolution?

On the left is our dog Kroger on the right is our guest Shanti. As you can see, Kroger was sharing his bed under protest. Thankfully, no squabbles broke out from it.
From just the photo--not looking at your description--I don't see clues about who is the bed-owner and who is the guest/interloper.

Sure; Stirling is big but lets me hold him for a time, and Dagny kicks sometimes but frequently holds still. My experience with cats and pills has been unfortunate. If there were a way to wrap the pill in some food they like -- but I've tried those pill pockets, and they don't work easily.

Oh, she'd help. I'm not sure a squad of Green Berets would be enough, though. I tried gently prying Stirling's jaws open just now as he lounged on the counter top, and he resisted.

Edible Gardening/Putting Things By
A tennis buddy has a mulberry tree that probably has 5000 ripe mulberries right now. I took 5 lbs, boiled them with 2 cups of organic pomegranate juice, then extracted the juice from this mixture. From that, I got 9 half pints of mulberry jelly. It’s like a cross of blackberry jelly, and elderberry jelly. Very tasty. So about $12 cost for 9 half-pints of jelly.Jelly is more expensive to make than jam, so mulberries are a good choice for jelly. By-Tor suggests that the tree could be a weeping mulberry. It is about 14 feet tall, absolutely loaded with fruit. Some photos of a weeping mulberry, its leaves and fruit:
Not my garden - but a walk through the woods appreciating nature. Wildflowers are blooming everywhere. I can't identify all of them but I recognize Virginia Bluebells, Spring Beauty, Trout Lily and Bloodroot. The Pilot
Hope this finds you well. Other than the mowed lawns, our garden at our northern Israel vacation home is intentionally semi-unkempt.

I have a question for more savvy gardeners than I.
My outdoor plants are all in containers. When should I fertilize? Before,they flower? After they flower? And I have a peony that I planted last year that looks very healthy but literally has only one flower bud. Is that normal?

When to fertilize container flowers really depends on the type of flowers. Generally you want to avoid heavy fertilization when it is hot and dry. Other than that, look up the plants you have planted.

I gave my caretaker guy a recipe I found to make up in a drywall bucket, using eggs, milk, water, and a little dish soap. Let it warm up in sunlight, ripen to super-stinky, and use a big coarse paintbrush to spatter it all over.

This has been a warm April, and May threatens to be absolutely hot, so I'd best get my okra seeds snuggled in for the season. I'm going to mix the red, white and green together. We'll pop some sunflowers amongst them. Should be pretty!
I'm trying lemongrass this year. I couldn't find an Asian market with fresh stalks, so I was forced to buy some online. Apparently West Indian lemongrass is the one you want.

All my seed starts are in the mini-greenhouse. Half of our corn bed has had soil amended and drip irrigation set up. I planted shelling peas Green Arrow, Asian snow peas, pole bean Seychelles, and bush beans Provider, Improved Tendergreen, and Wyatt, all with inoculant. Other half of bed is covered with clear plastic, in hopes of cooking weeds to death. Still waiting for most previously planted seeds to sprout - I did get most of the radish, and a few spinach, lettuce, carrots. Pot of garlic looks great. Potatoes starting to leaf. Old apple trees in flower at last.
Husband has spent a lot of time on testing sprinkler zones and replacing non-functioning sprayer heads. He continues to build the dry-stacked stone bed. We went to a native plant sale today, got 2 blue penstemon and 1 Blue Flax for the bed.
Prayers for the soul of Jewells...

The Left puts a heavy burden on David Brooks
“I’m really not a movement guy. I don’t naturally march in demonstrations or attend rallies that I’m not covering as a journalist. But this is what America needs right now. Trump is shackling the greatest institutions in American life. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” – David BrooksRIP David Brooks. He is not dead, but after that quote his career sure is. Before there were “Never Trumpers” there was David Brooks.
If you listen closely, you can decipher that a major part of the media’s discourse is about why the Republicans cannot be more like David. He’s their type of guy. Brooks has been playing this game for 25 years, from his book “Bobos in Paradise” to being Safire’s replacement as the house conservative on the NY Times Op-Ed page, to his shtick of being the ideological counterweight to E.J. Dionne on PBS. If Thomas Friedman can claim to know the Arab Street by talking with his taxi driver, then for those who follow the NY Times and PBS Brooks is the guy driving the conservative taxi. Clean, articulate, and reasonable as evidenced by willingness to go with the flow even when it is a riptide carrying oneself out to seaWhat did Brooks' friends on the Left do to the cornerstones of Western Civilization when they had all the power?
He wants an uprising? Sounds like insurrection to me. Then again, if you think law firms, nonprofits, and civil servants are the cornerstones of Western civilization you have bigger problems than Donald Trump.
A final quote:"So far, the only real hint of something larger - - a mass countermovement - - has been the rallies led by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. But this, too, is an ineffective way to respond to Trump; those partisan rallies make this fight seem like a normal contest between Democrats and Republicans. What is happening now is not normal politics. We're seeing an assault on the fundamental institutions of our civic life, things we should all swear loyalty to - - Democrat, independent or Republican."Leave aside that he is favorably citing two socialists, adherents to the most evil force of the 20th Century and antithetical to any part of the American founding. Leave aside that he invokes Marxist symbols. Instead focus on the fact that he neatly summarizes, as only David Brooks can, the current position of the Left: that one swears loyalty to "institutions" and not the Constitution.
Thanks for playing, David. Goodbye.The whole piece has some memorable details from Brooks' career that add to the feeling that now it is over. I recommend it. Ace also posted an interesting Peek at the NY Times Elite Writers (9/15/23) that includes some great Fisking. It should have helped kill a career or two. BUT WAIT: My fire-breathing lefty contact on social media just posted a short excerpt from the very latest piece by Brooks, providing hope that the Left will continue to support him as they try to convince Republicans to be like him:
Trump’s behavior has aroused great moral indignation. It has aroused in people’s hearts a sense that something sacred is being trampled here — democracy, rule of law, intellectual freedom, compassion, pluralism and global exchange. These things are worth fighting for. Trump’s opponents have still not produced the kind of one-sentence mission statement that he produces — that the elites have betrayed us, so we must destroy them. But I think more people are realizing that we are the beneficiaries of a precious inheritance. Our ancestors bequeathed to us a judicial system, great universities, compassionate aid organizations, great companies and scientific genius. My mission statement would be: America is great, and we will fight for what has made America great. - David Brooks, Trump's Single Stroke of Brilliance, NYT, 4/24/2025I see some "conservative" and even "MAGA" words in there, along with an unhealthy obsession with "elites". Somehow I am not inspired by the guy who has been saying that all Republicans are irredeemable to follow Brooks into the arms of AOC and Bernie Sanders. Do you think that the NYT will find Brooks' argument persuasive to "the other side"?
Ambiguity is the subversive's friend. You can be for an invasion of the US by foreigners or the death of Jews and get away with it for so long as you don't openly say so. But sometimes militants in the heat of action forget where their interests lie. "In irae veritas". "In irae veritas" is true of both sides of politics. When people get all worked up they are prone to let their true colors show. The mask drops and we often see something altogether frightening.Compare to David Foster: Will America Drown in Anger?

Sure it can.
The left freaks out over everything. They freak out if a convicted ms-13 illegal alien is deported. Not if a million are deported. Just 1.
So we say Trump only deported 100k people that’s not fast enough. They freak out because even 1 person was deported.

Exactly. The left loses its mind if Donnie gets two scoops of ice cream and draw comparisons to Hitler.
Things are moving too slowly. That’s mostly because of obstructionist Federal judges and a treasonous Congressional GOP that refuses to back Trump with legislation. I don’t blame Trump for that. Hopefully it wakes people up to the fact the GOPe must be destroyed in 2026 if we are to save our country.

And yet no other Republican president in your lifetime got this treatment. Certainly not Bush. And both Obama and Bush deported a lot of illegals.
What Trump's team has done with destroying things like USAID and Global Engagement Center will have far bigger impact than is being noticed. ActBlue is now under investigation for funneling millions in illegal campaign dollars to Democrats. And the list goes on and on.
The left is right to be freaking out. Trump isn't just deporting illegals, he is destroying the corrupt infrastructure that allowed the left to gain power. And they know it.

If you want to talk fertilizer, at least mix in cottonseed meal, kelp meal and fish bone meal for a longer release. Add in a teaspoon of Epsoms salt and Boraxo and Iron- and maybe some Zinc Sulfate too.
If you have clay soil, don't use dolomite, use lime or ground oystershell, it will keep the clay from getting stickier.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m dot saying Trump has done nothing. He’s moved some big rocks.
But his key issue was immigration. And on that front it’s not as yuuge and tremendous and incredible as we were led to believe it would be. So far.
So that was my original reply to you. Two things can be true. Trump isn’t moving as fast as we had hoped. And the left is freaking out because they always freak out about everything.

But the bigger issue which gets almost no coverage is the border is closed. Unlike under previous administration those who get deported aren't coming right back in. We now have the most secure southern border ever. People wanted the US military on the southern border. They are there now patrolling miles of recently made federal land.
Yes, the leftists in the judiciary are fighting tooth and nail to keep illegal gangbangers in this country. They will lose eventually. It's moronic to insist Trump isn't moving fast enough when he has done more in his first 3 months than any other Republican president has done in a 4 year term to change the trajectory of the country and the world.

'We now have the most secure southern border ever. People wanted the US military on the southern border.'
I'd be more excited about that if 20 million weren't already here illegally.
My impatience is not because I don't think Trump is trying but because I think time is running out. Trump would take about as much heat deporting by the hundreds of thousands as he is getting now and will get when the democrat-judiciary axis ramps this up to another constitutional crisis and impeachment.
That is clearly inevitable.

She ran domestic policy for Biden for a couple of years. That's a big reason we got here. She was one of Obama's key aides in a couple different roles and she was as much responsible for the Benghazi disaster as anyone. Her secret power is somehow never being held responsible for the enormous number of clusterfucks she caused.
She's a more feminine version of Obama. Barely.

I get tired of this. The Constitution is a living document when some wish it, and written in stone when its not. Both sides play this game.
It comes down to this ... do we rule ourselves or don't we ? Because self-rule is not "go long with the ruling class as long as the ruling class suits me".
Frankly - the Founders agreed to a contract. The contract is not a suicide pact, and its not binding for eternity. I won't be bound by something I had no say in the , and apparently have no say now, to whatever extent my little person power allows me to disobey.
So, are we self-ruling ? Because if we are, how things operate now have not worked in any sustainable way in my lifetime. Sometimes it has suited of you more. Sometimes less.
But according to levels of national debt ? Illegal immigration ? Domestic economic production ? Global trade ?
Its not been sustainable in five decades. Maybe its worked to David Brooks satisfaction. He, and all those like him, may kiss my ass.

I think the terms Democrat and Republican are a meaningless distraction. Useful for political campaigns to rally the faithful but irrelevant in the larger scheme of things.
To me the real distinction is globalist vs nationalist. Look around the world at all of the politicians who have been sidelined, from Argentina to France to Romania and on and on. They are all nationalists like Trump. People who believe in putting the interests of their people first and don't bow to those who insist that countries are just historic relics and want open borders and centralized control.
We've had Republican presidents before. The visceral hate for Trump, not just from Democrats but from the Brooks/Bulwark crowd, is because he actually loves this country and wants Americans to prosper.

That has ALWAYS been a sticking point with me. The smugness of certain people from certain regions regarding their supposed immunity to the taint of slavery.
The only difference between Antebellum slaves and sharecroppers was sharecroppers got to sit in the back pews and could look plantation owners in the eye before bowing their heads.
Sharecroppers were the indentured workers of the South, just like the indentured labor of the North.

That's absolutely true. But in this case correlation and causation line up. The Democrat Party is rigidly globalist. Has been for quite some time. They drove out the Blue Dogs and anyone else who had a shred of moderation.
And the Republican Party was well down that road before Trump came along and took a big poop on their picnic. The term uniparty gets a lot of work around here for a reason. There are a boatload of globalists in the Republican Party that are more aligned with those goals than they are with Trump's and we all know it.
I could never vote for any Democrat today, not because they are Democrats but because the entire Democrat Party is a corrupt, globalist machine. There are precious few Republicans I will support for the same reason. Trump is our shot at getting our country back.

There's whole raft of leftists that want to do that. She managed to piss off Pelosi within months of being elected by not following "the rules." The current "voice of the Democrat Party" is Jasmine Crockett, if you believe such shit.
I like the fact the left is in such disarray right now. It's why I wish the Trump administration would be more aggressive. Not necessarily move faster, just be more aggressive. Attack on dozens of fronts.

I understand why we got it - the MIC was hungry. I never saw why we, the American People, needed it.
We already had the F-22, the A-10, and other planes that went from good to great. And we've never won with superweapons - but always good weapons and plenty of them.

I suppose it's all in the eyes of beholder. The left is freaking the fuck out because the DOJ just arrested 2 of the left's most corrupt judges. I don't remember that happening recently. Not to mention deporting the Maryland Man. Remember when people actually cared about him? Seems like just last week.
I don't know if you are on X or follow Mike Davis, head of the Article III project, but he is pretty tight with the Trump administration and he cautions on his X account not to confuse lack of headlines with things not happening at the DOJ. In addition to fighting on many fronts against leftist judges trying to hamstring the Trump administration I think they are working on stuff. Unlike the Garland, they seem to want to build real cases not just grab headlines and abuse the law.
But time will tell.

Yes, *RUSTING*.
The War Zone reported that the F-35C’s radar-absorbent skin is deteriorating after just months at sea, rendering these multi-million-dollar jets even less effective.

It seemed to me the biggest allure for USAF brass was the removal of the need to plan. A modular plane that could "do it all". Achieve theatre air superiority ? Sure - we'll run the F package for a week or month on everything. OK - we have air superiority. Run a couple wings on the A package and pick some targets or loiter. Everything else maintain superiority. We'll see how it goes.

As I understand it, and I followed it in the beginning and then quit in disgust, its a couple things. Yes - they got the idea that speed and agility weren't THAT important if you had enough electronics and missiles to shoot down six or so bogeys at once. So they did that.
Then they decided it would be could to have swappable modules, so a single plane could shoot down planes this week, and blow up tanks next week, and run electronic warfare the week after that.
And finally, they decided that such a plane could be cheaper than anything made to do only one of those things.
Sound like bullshit yet ?

The Classical Saturday Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. Before we enter this week's Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Spooner. Just sayin') 1) This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2) Be kind, be nice. Even the trolls have feelings. Stupid ones, but still.
3) No running with sharp objects. No don't think about it, joke about it or do it.
4) Contrary to Rule #3, have a great weekend!
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 3/24 – Update on Jewell45. Her daughter posted an update, with approval to share: "Okay. Need to do a life update for mama. She hasn’t been doing so hot the last couple weeks. Like I said last month, the cancer has been spreading. She’s been declining quite a bit since then. Her energy level is very low and she’s struggling with breathing after the smallest tasks or even if she talks too much. The decision has been made to transition to hospice care. I want to be clear here about a couple things. Number one, she is NOT in her final days although her oncologist estimates with how the cancer has progressed that she is probably down to several months, 6-9 maybe more. Number 2. She is up for visitors but not much. Please contact myself, dad or her first. She won’t last much longer than 15-20 minutes if you do stop by, so keep your expectations low. Other than that, continued prayers and good vibes are always appreciated. Much love to you all. If you have questions, feel free to contact me privately. This is obviously a difficult time as you can imagine but I’ll do my best."
4/15 Update – Jewells passed away. Members of the Horde are donating to her favorite charity; please contact Annie’s Stew for more information. 3/29 – neverenoughcaffeine had requests: 1. Baby Isaac is now at Seattle Children’s Hospital with additional issues. He’s 2 months old and has spent lots of time in hospitals. 2. Bonnie, who was just diagnosed with a cancerous nodule in her lung. Thankfully it hasn’t spread and immunotherapy will start when she receives the drug specifically tailored to her need. 3. Charlie, who suffered a nasty fall that broke his back and cracked his skull. Two brain bleeds have incapacitated him. He has a long road to recovery.
4/19 Update – 1. Baby Isaac is back at Seattle Children’s Hospital in case he needs surgery. They damaged his esophagus while intubating him when all of this started. 2. Bonnie is tolerating her medicine to treat her tumor and tires easily. 3. Cousin Charlie was flown home from FL to OH and is in rehab. He is speaking again; however he has a long road of rehab ahead of him. Thank you all for continuing to pray for them. 4/12 – Ace-Endorsed Author A. H. Lloyd requested prayers for Mrs. Lloyd, for her healing and comfort for the family, especially the grandchildren who greatly miss the woman who has been the most constant and consistent presence in their young lives.
4/19 Update – Mrs. Lloyd has spent the last week in the hospital, and it is a very good thing. For too long she had ignored her health, her diet, etc. and now she is faced with irrefutable proof that she must make serious and immediate life changes. This is a great blessing for Holy Week. Had things not happened the way they did, she might have left us quite soon. 4/12 – Intruder Driver requests prayers for friend Ron and his wife Sherry, as Ron’s Parkinson’s is getting worse. 4/12 – Sharon (willow’s apprentice) greatly appreciates prayers as she recovers from cataract surgery. 4/12 – Ben Had sent an update on Jim SND. He had surgery to implant a feeding tube, and he hopes to go home soon.
4/16 Update – After 3 weeks in the hospital, Jim SND has been released to go home. He has both a vent tube and stomach tube to assist him in breathing and getting nourishment. Jim and Iris appreciate your prayers. 4/14 – Grateful – the range bag lady posted: T-Rex’s mother, MommaRex, was rushed to the hospital over the weekend and was diagnosed with Parkinsons. The family is asking for prayers for God’s strength in dealing with the disease and challenging family situation.
4/19 Update – MommaRex is currently in a rehab facility and they are trying to find an assisted living facility for the next step. She has been blessed with good health, so this has truly thrown her in so many ways. 4/15 – Salty Dog requested prayers for his wife, who underwent triple-bypass open heart surgery on 4/9. Her recovery will be a steep uphill climb to the uplands of better health.
4/17 Update – Mrs. Salty Dog was life-flighted to KU Medical in Kansas City. They are to create a new plan of action, as there was a new issue with her heart on 4/16.
4/20 Update – Mrs. Salty Dog (Linda) passed away on Easter. Salty Dog said our prayers were answered, as she passed quickly, without pain or struggle, under the comfort of good drugs. Her last complaint was that the lights were so bright. (This was after he had closed the blinds and made the room as dark as possible.) Easter i the answer. 4/15 – Matthew Kant Cipher asked for prayers for “Dee”, an 88 year-old who has been caring for her quadriplegic son, who was injured in a car accident when he was 17. Dee had a couple of people helping her take care of him, but they are no longer able to do so. Now she is having to care for him herself, while still working as a receptionist for a local meat processing company. Please pray that the Lord provides for her and her son. 4/16 – TecumsehTea requested prayers for a grandson, age 15. The grandson had been sick with a fever and headache since 4/13, and took a turn for the worse. He was taken to the ER on 4/16. 4/19 – Eromero posted his praise for God for healing, comforting, and blessing our brothers and sisters here. He is always with us, even if we are too stressed to feel his presence. 4/20 – neverenoughcaffiene asked for prayers for a good friend who fell on 4/19. He hit his head pretty hard and has a small brain bleed. 4/22 – FenelonSpoke requested prayers for M, who sometimes fills in as the organist. He has to have vein surgery on his feet, and he needs to have his feet work well to play the organ pedals. Also, prayers for J, who is having a stent put in her heart. 4/23 – Trudy asked for prayers for her husband, Bill, who is having persistent pain that may well be heart-related.
For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

Last night, we watched a new Netflix action thriller titled, "Havoc".
On the downside, it was filmed in MumbleVision(TM).
On the upside: It contained more violent death than ten average action movies. I think a thousand or so people were killed with shotguns, pistols, and machine guns at the climax.
No long bows were involved. Though a Spear Gun(!) was.
A whole Great Lake or two of fake blood was unleashed during this cinematic masterpiece.
Check it out.

I did see something to that effect a week or so ago. Is it true? I don't know what kind of shape the old guy is in. I do think William will be on the throne soon though. I don't think Charles is long for this world.

The day of the pope’s funeral and burial marks the first day of the Novendiali, a nine-day period of mourning and prayer. Each day will include a public celebration of the Eucharist, involving the participation of a different group with links to the pontiff.
After those nine days, Farrell will convene the Church’s College of Cardinals in conclave—secret meetings in seclusion within Vatican City to pray, discern, and elect a new pope. That conclave could begin as early as the week of May 5.

I used to thing that being gay was merely one of many character traits, but I now see it as something of an obsession. If it's private, why do I need to know? If it's just a preference, why must it be public. Normal people don't wander around introducing themselves by saying "I'm really into busty blondes."
This is why I do not trust gay conservatives. The gay always is the most important trait, that's why they put it first.

By all accounts, the cardinals feel that Francis was just too much. Too exhausting. A constant drain on their energy as they had to figure out what he was saying.
They are old and want a break. Just a normal, quiet pope. Francis was a reaction against JP II and especially Benedict XVI, and he proved an overreaction.
The next pope has an opportunity to heal a great deal of schisms. The Copts, Eastern Orthodox and even much of the Anglican Communion could be brought back into the Church. I think Francis' actions have made clear that papal authority should be used sparingly, and this would sit well with the Eastern Orthodox.

Francis openly denounced the "faggotry" in Italian seminaries, so I guess that was a fail.
Francis was not the pope we wanted but he was the pope we needed. The Holy Spirit was clearly at work.
No one else could have exposed the corruption within Church leaders so thoroughly. His appointments, his allies, all of them revealed themselves, making it that much easier to clean house.
Their pride was their undoing. Thinking they had won, believing that their dream of a liberal, protestant Catholic Church was at hand, they stepped out of the shadows and stand revealed to the world.

According to Grok, there are about 5,600 Bishops total worldwide, but only 50-70 are Jesuits.
Thankfully.

Not being or know hardly anything of Pope's or Bishops, wonder how many Bishops are Jesuits?
There are three Jesuit cardinals eligible to vote in Conclave. However Jesuits are supposed to stay away from seeking to move up the hierarchy outside their Order.

I'm pretty sure the Orthodox position is that they were never under the authority of the Bishop of Rome to begin with, so there's no "bringing back into the church" necessary or even possible.
Now, they might be willing to be in communion with Rome, but I do not think they will ever accept its authority.

Most hospitals are not-for-profit. In order to maintain this status, they are required to provide a certain percentage of free and reduced-cost care (this is my day job, writing off money all day long). Heavily subsidized by the taxpayer.
The small-city hospital I work for has several non-citizen applicants weekly, no income, all charges written off.

Wolf dead in Rocky Mountain National Park, another one traveled 1,230 miles

Cause of death not released. This is the third wolf out of 15 that were reintroduced to CO in January of this year from British Columbia. The other two who died had wandered 2-300 miles north and were killed in Wyoming.
Makes me wonder if wolves have some degree of homing instinct and those two were migrating north in the general direction of BC. Sort of a feral Lassie Come Home gambit.

But this isn't necessarily recognized, unless one spends a lot of time dealing in detail with current Eastern teaching vs. the official Eastern allegiance to the Fathers, etc.
It's freaking weird, honestly. Not all churches do this, and not all groups inside a church. But everybody tends to do their own thing without realizing, unless they run into another Eastern group that teaches differently.
Basically, for some people, anything goes if it doesn't seem "too much like Rome," which is a dumb way to orient yourself if you have an ancient apostolic heritage of your own. Be "more like what we were taught from ancient times", and don't worry so much about other people.

Their required documentation is supplied by the Mexican or whatever country's embassy the illegal's from. Here in KY their required documentation was nowhere near as extensive as what I had to provide. That's by design.
The "undocumented" moniker is because they did not fill out paperwork in their home country, submit it, have it authorized and then submit it at a US point of entry before entering.
Having a "Real ID" here in the US doesn't necessarily legitimize the illegals. But it also doesn't hurt.

I'm not Catholic and I don't know holy water from Dasani, but here's the story.
My father grew up in rural west Alabama, and his father (from Yugoslavia) was BIG TIME Catholic.
So in 1937-1938 my father, the youngest child, is a standout high school football star.
He gets recruited by the University of Alabama. My grandfather says no, nobody else in this family went to college and you don't need to either.
Then he gets recruited by the Alabama Polytechnic Institute (i.e., Auburn University). My grandfather says no, nobody else in this family went to college and you don't need to either.
Then a Jesuit priest knocks on the door. He's from Springhill College in Mobile.
My grandfather relents and my father goes to college on a football scholarship.
Then the war starts and because he's in college becomes an officer in the Navy which he subsequently chooses as a career and changes the course of our family and following generations.
So I'll always have a soft spot for the Jesuits.

I hope you're right, especially about the Anglicans; I attend an Ordinariate parish, and I would love for that to become a widespread and flourishing rite within the Church. I have to say, though, that I'm stroking out over what seems to be the highly likely outcome of Tagle taking over the Papacy, in which case we're likely looking at further liberalization towards the rainbow people and eventually even a Church fracture along the lines of the Anglicans themselves.

The talks were restarted a couple of years ago under the framework of examining the historical context of their union and the reason for its dissolution.
The real issue was always Constantinople vs Rome, and that was 'resolved' in 1453. There is now disunity within the Orthodox community as the Russia/Ukraine thing has caused various patriarchies to break off communion with one another.
In this circumstance, renewed communion with Rome would be helpful because a core weakness within Eastern Orthodoxy is the tendency to place the flag above the cross, i.e. nationalism comes first.
Francis' reign highlighted the need for the papacy to remain within clear, definable limits, and this would sit well with the Orthodox, but also the Copts and GAFCON.

I was being flippant (I'm sure you knew

Can't wait to find out what they're up to with the Real ID push. Will they use this to ferret out/confirm who is using the stolen SS#s? Musk has mentioned cases where the same SS# is used by thousands, tens of thousands of illegals and the government systems are configured not to catch this/reject the duplicates. I assume that these are legit SS#s of living AMericans so that they can't put them all on the "dead" list to stop benefits.

There were other people wearing blue suits. Not a ton, but some. Also some "midnight blue" suits, which look black except when the sun is very bright.
The Hispanic-world newspapers showed Queen Letizia, for those interested. No mantilla comb, no big mantilla, just a little black chapel veil. Very minimalist.

took to 24 hour ER - no blockage thankfully - but no idea why he got the UTI - anyway on three different meds and seems better but it sure freaked me out. dangerous stuff for a male cat

Big black Stirling had that problem when he was about six months old. I'd seen the symptoms before and hustled him to the emergency vet. No blockage with the UTI. I asked him where he'd been partying lately to come up with that, and he had no answer.
They did say he has a rather small bladder for such a big cat (even at six months he weighed eight pounds).

Both are fake.
In the one, Francis allegedly says something like the rivers don’t flow to the seas just for the heck of it. They flow to help nature on the way, blah, blah. It’s written nicely, so I was suspicious. It’s a quote that was floating around Facebook and even related to a video game before Francis was pope.
The Bob Dylan “quote” praising Francis up and down is so corny it’s obviously something Dylan would never say about anyone. I know Dylan was a Jesus freak for a time, but he never even talked about that in a conventional way.

You go with what works, I guess. My parents divorced in 1978, and my father, who had taken 'ballroom' dancing when he was young, embraced disco unconditionally. Being single and only seeing me on weekends, he took classes multiple times a week, lost weight and could absolutely demolish a dance floor. Smooth as silk.
A few years ago my stepmother was cleaning out their place and because he can't throw anything away, a bunch of it was given to me, including a super-sauve pinstripe disco suit - flared pants, vest and jacket.
"This is my lucky suit," he said. "I got lucky a lot in it." I gave it to Goodwill.

I was just reading off a CFP link that Sanders has a tendency to hold onto the ball too long, and has limited mobility in the pocket. If true, interesting that he was considered a round 1 draft player.

There was a lot of ESPN type hype because they love themselves some Deion.
I also read that part of the holding onto the ball problem was his willingness to change the play at the line, which frustrated the offense, but no one could speak ill of the coach's kid.

Black Orchid, you'll want to get him a fountain -- one of those plug-in deals where you fill the reservoir with water, and it recirculates through a filter. It's fresher, I guess, and the movement of the water attracts the cat too. I've been giving Stirling (and Dagny, who's a girl) a mix of dry and wet food for a long while now, and the problem hasn't recurred for him. But he drinks more than he would from a bowl of water. (He also loves the kitchen and bathroom tap.)

Fun Fact - and I'm sure of this - if Mel Kiper and the rest on ESPN knew personnel as well as they claim ? They wouldn't be on ESPN. Every NFL team would gladly each pay them multiple millions to give true numeric grades on players. Each team would gladly pay a million each to get a true grade on 20 players each.
Mel Kiper knows more than you or I - although not as much as any of you regarding the players on your favorite team. Mel Kiper is selling the act of Mel Kiper.

Manziel was a mess but they didn't do anything but make sure they exacerbated his issues. Besides not giving him a chance to play because the shitty coach pouted because they made him pick Manziel when he didn't want to. That same year every other QB picked started for their team even though they barely won any games.

In my experience there are very few Elon's at the head of any organization. And those that are tend to bend toward evil.
Hegseth was put at DOD to do a relatively simple job. Stop the military from becoming a daycare for the mentally challenged, those who want this country to fail and those in the employ of Raytheon and return it to mission 1, lethality. The fact the left is coming at him with everything they have tells me he is succeeding. And he did manage to get into Princeton as a white boy from Minnesota with zero DEI points. Probably not as dumb as Susan Rice who has been wrong about everything her entire life.

Top Story
- What this country needs is a really good $20,000 electric truck. Apparently. (The Verge) (archive site)
I mean, given what vehicles cost these days, it's worth a shot.
There are a few corners cut, to be sure. The Slate Truck is available in one colour - slate grey, has no sound system, and only does 150 miles on a charge. And the body panels are plastic, not metal, though that's not a first even on much more expensive models.
And it's designed to be repairable by the owner, though how far that goes is something that we'll have to see when it comes out next year.
Tech News
- Netflix now has dialogue-only subtitles because of the current trend for actors to mumble incoherently through their lines. (Ars Technica)
No, it's not your hearing going. I mean, that might also be true, but the younger generations also watch TV with subtitles on because they can't tell what the hell the actors are saying.
- Microsoft's Recall spyware is here. (Tom's Hardware)
Also Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC is cheap (if a little fiddly to install) and receives security updates through January 2027 - and no new features at all.
Just saying.
If you can find the IoT edition that's supported through 2032 but I don't know where to get that.
- If you mention the /etc/hosts file - found on all modern operating systems - Substack sends etheric ninjas down the wire to terminate you. (Substack)
Or more specifically it raises a 403 error when the editor attempts to automatically save your post.
Potato, potahto.
- This mini-ITX NAS motherboard has 10Gb Ethernet. (Liliputing)
And costs $139 if you can find someone who will ship it to you, given current tariff uncertainties.
There are many such boards on sites like Aliexpress, but most of the cheap ones don't have 10GbE.
- Why are companies lining up to buy Chrome? (The Verge)
Perplexity, OpenAI, and Yahoo are all among the bidders should the government force Google to divest its browser.
But you can already get Chrome-based browsers like Brave and Vivaldi for free.
These companies aren't looking to buy Chrome. They're looking to buy you.

Photos of what is presumed to be the father cat show distinctive Norwegian Forest Cat traits, but the mother is a short haired tuxedo.
But both kittens have marked long haired traits, and Frog is continuing to gain size and weight, as a Norwegian would do. 10 months old, and 12.4 pounds.
And little Margo is holding at about 7.5 pounds, but her fur is growing longer every day.

Netflix now has dialogue-only subtitles because of the current trend for actors to mumble incoherently through their lines.
Compare to the movies of the '30s and '40s, where dialogue was crisply enunciated. I understand the Mid-Atlantic accent was widely used among actresses was that it was picked up very well by the microphones of the day.
Actually, I don't know if today's movies actually have dialogue. More like the various characters talking past each other, gunfire and CGI.

Disaster struck this morning. I dropped one of my pipes onto my tile kitchen floor, and the stem, the part that you clench in your teeth, snapped off, with part of it stuck inside the pipe. I have no way to get that piece out, and even if I did, regluing the stem won't work. It would never be strong enough to stand up to normal use. I've written to a long-time and well-respected pipe repair place in PA and will see what they say.
It's not like the pipe is my favorite; I haven't had it that long. But I hate to simply throw it away if it can be repaired at reasonable cost.

Also, why are shows so dark now? Sometimes we have to turn room lights down low, just to ease the ambient light contrast, so we can see the shows.

I've been complaining about both of these for years. It's heartening to see that even younger viewers use the closed captioning. And when did H'wood stop using Technicolor and good lighting? The new True Grit, for instance, for all its virtues, is greyish and dull compared to the 1969 version.

I watch with subtitles for two reasons:
1. I watch a lot of anime and prefer listening to it in Japanese. Same with Bollywood movies.
2. I tend keep the volume low because audio levels for dialogue are set at about 20db and action scenes suddenly jump to 130.

The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles … hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages … And we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn’t going anywhere. WE are!

Last night night, we watched a new Netflix action thriller titled, "Havoc".
On the downside, it was filmed in MumbleVision(TM).
On the upside: It contained more violent death than ten average action movies. I think a thousand or so people were killed with shotguns, pistols, and machine guns at the climax.
No long bows were involved. Though a Spear Gun(!) was.
A whole Great Lake or two of fake blood was unleashed during this cinematic masterpiece.
Check it out.

With some young actors high volume doesn't help, they are indecipherable. I wonder which one is their home planet?

It's only once in a blue moon that I tip above 20%. Equally rare that I tip below 15%, but I have no sympathy with this demand for 30% or higher.

On the tipping, i flat refuse to tip if there isn't food, or interpersonal customer service involved. Especially in states where food service people get minimum wage (Nevada).
Was forced to use a kiosk to order a sandwich, employee retrieves bag, puts it on a shelf, says nothing. My phone beeps that my food is ready. I go show the message and number, clerk spins the paysystem around and that 30% minimum tip is staring at me. I aks if tips are shared with the cooks in the back.was told no. I hit custom tip, selected zero, and swiped the card.

Took the whole crew over to a bar across the street Friday afternoon.
We drank top shelf. Had to wave the waitress over every time we wanted something. Had to ask for the ashtrays to be emptied (I'm that old).
We ran a tab over $100, which took some doing then, and I left a $.10 tip.
Manager came over. I told him what I thought of the service. He comped the ticket.
She wasn't there the next Friday.

There was once a rabbi who was never able to dispose of the foreskin after a bris- he just thought it disrespectful, so he kept them all in a jug. When the jar started getting full, he wondered if he could do anything useful with them, and the Ides came to him that maybe a leather worker could make something from them. So, off the the leather worker he goes with the jar, and is assured that the craftsman will, indeed, be able to make something of them. "Come back in a week, and you'll get your item."
A week passes and he returns to the leather worker, who presents him with a brand new wallet.
"Wait a second," said the rabbi. "That was an almost full gallon jug, and all I get from it is a wallet?"
The leather worker looked at him and said, "Sir, all you have to do is rub it a few times and it grows into a briefcase."

They're having that issue in DC after the mandatory minimum wage relating to restaurants went into effect. Restaurants have been adding Prop 82 surcharges to bills, in some cases up to 5% of the bill. So people who happily voted for Prop 82 are complaining about the extra fee being tacked on by restaurants to pay for it.

Sorry, I meant 20% for sit-down places, but it is considered the standard these days. As for the non-sit-down spots, maybe a dollar or two in the jar depending on the circumstances (I don't drink coffee, so rarely venture into a coffee shop).
Believe it or not, I've seen tip jars in liquor stores.

I thought of you (even though kale is not mentioned) when I saw this comment in an earlier thread:
235 In honor of Ace's vacation, I'd like to report my GAINZZZ progress--I haven't seen a thread for a while.
I started dedicating myself to getting healthy (body, mind, emotions) on August 12, the first day of the school year.
I've lost 75 pounds and, thanks to Pure Barre, developed muscle tone and definition and greater strength, flexibility, and balance. Vigorous walking (30 minutes 5 times a week) has also helped my stamina.
It's never too late to choose health. It can be challenging to break bad habits and build new ones, but feeling (and looking) truly well is worth it.

IMHO, the "standard" tip is still 15%. So, the cost of living has gone up? It has for all of us. The meal I got for 12 bucks a few years ago is now 20 bucks. So if I tip 15%, you're now getting 3 bucks instead of two. You're keeping up better than me.

I’ve generally found no difference in baking between the two if the recipe also calls for salt.
I made some Dominique Ansel peppermint buttercrunch on Easter. Amazing stuff. The recipe called for unsalted butter and then a small amount of salt. I did the math and the amount of salt called for was the amount of salt in the salted butter I used.
If using unsalted butter in that recipe would have made it noticeably better, I don’t think I want to know.

I knew me dear old Mum (pbuh) kept Dad's wallet when he passed. Just brought it home and put it in a drawer, like a little leather time capsule.
Years later, my wallet fell apart and I asked Mom for Dad's wallet. She gave it to me. When I took his old cards and bits of paper out of the wallet to be replaced my mine, I found five crisp $100 bills.
Mom was surprised. MY guess was: Dad grew up poor (Appalachia during the Depression), and I think carrying that kind of cash in his wallet made him feel good.

Heck, a chunk of the fight between Wilson (WAS) and Anderson (MTL) was on the Caps' bench, with a linesman along for the dance. They each got a 2-minute minor and 10-minute misconduct, so 12 minutes total (not the linesman, of course). I've been to regular season games in Montreal; I'd love to experience a playoff game.

So if rude coffee barista wants 35% tip, they should have 20%, 35%, and 50% options and drop the mandatory BS.
I have a very cheap co-worker. 15-20 years ago or so a bunch of us routinely walked to a coffee shop after the work cafeteria and get coffees. Mr Cheapo would pay with a check for $10 extra to have a bit of cash and still not leave a tip. Now that was rude as a customer. By that apps standards I was cheap, I think I usually left .50 on the $2.xx drink.

Never?
I keep a couple c-notes in my wallet, but my single mother family was working class poor. We did ok as long as the job held out, but when the economy turned down, household income went to zero for months on end. There were times when I ate once a day, while mom dodged the landlord.
I was poor until I got my first job out of college, then, at a salary almost three times what most of my family ever made, I was rich.
Never say never, to quote a movie.

She said she was in a serious car wreck. "hit by a school bus going 110 km/hr", and that her kidneys had shut down as a result. She was going to die in a few days. Then the hospital released her and sent her home? Apparently the school bus driver reported a minor collision the next day. A 70 mph wreck would have done major damage to a school bus, too. I don't know who to believe here. Sounds like there may well be some false information being put out there.

Speaking of Walmart. Lately they have become quite aggressive with their demands to see my receipt before I can leave the building. I refuse to show it to them because I have zero contractual obligation to do that; Walmart is not Sam's Club or Costco.
Additionally, every second I was shopping and checking out I was under intense surveillance; if they didn't have probable cause to think I was shoplifting before I paid for my goods I am of the opinion they can pound sand once I did.
Am I out in left field here legally? It seems to be quite the grey area.

I never worked in food service, but nearly everyone I know has in some capacity. So I’ve heard stories.
It doesn’t matter what you tip, at some point in your life some guy has shoved the buns from your burger into his pants, or somebody spit in your coffee. Earning a reputation as a good tipper might help reduce the number of those incidents, but it won’t eliminate them. The guys in the back aren’t even seeing you, they’re just having fun.
And there’s the indiscriminate stuff, like the 3-star restaurant where they throw live rats into the deep fryer? How can you avoid that?

Well, WalMart has been hit hard by low-lifes committing scanner fraud at the self checkout. I don't blame them for trying to police it a bit. Usually, the guy or woman assigned that task recognizes me, and waves me through.
Funny thing happened: I bought a few things last night there, Including one of those small pouches of white chicken chunks. Which slipped out of my sight between the panels of the shopping cart, and I failed to scan it. Got everything else, and paid for it. Found it when I got to the car. And I really, really had to go home and pee, so i didn't go back in the store. But what I will do is go back there, buy one more of those pouches, and scan it twice. That will square me up.

Credit card because it is quite handy for larger expenses. Rule: I always pay it off within 48 hours.
Debit card is plastic cash because at some establishments it is just easier to go that route.
Cash is on the up swing again in my life because when I am out of cash it is time to go home. Just like in the good old days.
I do like the idea of stashing a $100.00 somewhere in the care for those moments when you need a quick $100.00.

I understand the need for loss prevention. I wish I lived in a society where shoplifters were more heavily prosecuted. Instead the Walmart Stasi look at me and say “This is a put-together middle-aged white dude. He’s not going to stab me in the heart because he’s trying to steal $12 of Smirnoff Ice by not scanning it at the self checkout.”
I can hardly blame them. Walmart greeter is not a job worth dying over. So they pretend to look for shoplifting and I pretend to not be insulted.

Pakistan starts sending tanks, artillery and other heavy weapon systems toward the border with India
@9mm_smg
It's going to be wild if this escalates. Might be the first time since ww2 we see nukes go off.
Conventional warfare wise, India destroys Pakistan. Bigger military, better equipment etc... But if Pakistan is suffering huge losses, they might just decide to go nuclear. India has a very defensive nuclear weapon policy where they wouldn't be a 1st strike, but they would retaliate massively. It's going to be interesting to see if this spreads to more than localized skirmishes

Some bean counter in Bentonville was like “Well, self-checkout increases our shrink rate by 90% but the increase in legitimate purchases gives us that 0.1% increase in profits we’ve been looking for.”
I shop in two places, a very rural red area where the Walmart has no receipt checkers ever, and a somewhat rural blue area where the receipt checkers hassle me and not the large, loud group of youths who are obviously stealing alcohol but everyone is too afraid to confront them.
In some chain stores in certain areas everything is under glass and the store employees are basically risking their lives to protect the stash of deodorant.

It won’t, because the people running things aren’t total morons. Oh, they’re evil, but they don’t want to rule over ashes.
This is why nukes effectively ended war between large powers: they’re a weapon that can kill the old men responsible for making wars, guaranteeing they won’t be used.
Small-scale wars or proxy wars from here on out. The nice thing about modern, conventional weapons is they chew through young, male cannon fodder, leaving behind a generation of young, fertile women in need of support from the old men who wage war.

But Trump has said he's not worried that Israel would drag him into war. But that's when he warned that, "I may go in very willingly if we can't get a deal. If we don't make a deal, I'll be leading the pack."

It seems that many Chinese are already suffering grinding poverty, and the tariffs are going to make everything worse. I feel for the Chinese people.

Unintended Consequences: $20/hour was only supposed to apply to big fast food places with more than 100 (?) locations or somesuch ie BK, MickyD, In-n-Out....
What happened as soon as it went into effect? The smaller places lost all their good people to the $20/hour places. As did most anyplace else that paid less than $20/hour.
Now...effective minimum wage everywhere here is $20/hour because anyone with a brain can go get a fast food job for $20/hour....

I don’t think China’s suffering that much now because of the tariffs. Probably no worse than us.
But, yeah, they were pretty poor in the recent past. Giving them favored nation status and the WTO was a big step for them.
That said, they probably would have built up a lot on their own. The confluence of events that made China an industrial superpower wasn’t down to a single bad policy. It was decades of bad decisions compounding, and now we’re paying the long-overdue price.
Posted by: Disinterested FDA Director at April 26, 2025 02:06 AM (/dDa4)
There's no welfare in China, so you need a kid to take care of you when you're old (not a bad thing in the US, either). There's a massive child kidnapping issue that China doesn't allow people to talk about. They're not all adopted to childless couples, of course. Trafficking for other reasons, just like here in the US.
Despair and anger drives people to plow into crowds with cars, especially crowds of schoolchildren. It's very common, so they have bollards everywhere to discourage that. Problem is, the bollards are hollow because that's how China rolls.
There's a lot of drug users.
China gives fentanyl producers tax breaks while denying that any fentanyl is made in China.
Theft is rampant. There are bars on ALL windows, even on the 32nd floor. Yes. people climb up that high. It's crazy.

No welfare. Children are responsible for their parents in their dotage.
If a guy gets married and has a kid, his wife stops working. "Tradwife" never stopped there.
Now, hubby is pulling one salary, and is responsible for seven people. Himself, his wife, all four of their parents, and the new kid.
Gotta have a pretty swell job to pull that off.
So the other side of the child trafficking is the families trying to do things "the right way," which leads to grandma and grandpa abandoning their identities and moving back to the sticks and living as beggars. Or just wandering into the wilderness to die. So their children can have children.

Are you really that incapable of working the Google machine? I don’t know anyone who seriously disputes its existence.
Do you want the first ten links from Google? Because if someone tells me America doesn’t have a welfare system, that’s all I can really do. I can lead you to water but I can’t make you do a rudimentary amount of research before you make an easily disproven claim.

You do realize Democrats spend a lot of time complaining about China, right? The most China-obsessed person I know is a TDS-afflicted Boomer.
I don’t know anyone under the age of 40 who actually cares that much. It’s like “Well, we shouldn’t have let our politicians and oligarchs make us dependent on them, but may as well separate while we can.”
Frankly, even though I know for a fact China has a welfare system, I could give a damn. America’s enough of a shithole in need of fixing, I don’t know why I would care about China.

When the Feds interrogated him he coughed up he was living with the Canos and that old lady Cano was getting him day jobs. Oops. Somewhere in the swirl of court documents it was noted the TdA guy's phone was in the Cano's possession and apparently contained inquires about getting hand grenades and something about some headless corpses.
Old man Cano, when he got wind of the extent of what was coming smashed this dear youth's phone and tossed in a dumpster. Big guess: getting a federal obstruction charge was way better the getting snarled up in what was on that phone.

There are a bunch of films that make me scratch my head, especially lately.
Get this: they just, this year, added in a requirement that all of the people who vote on best film have to actually watch the movie.
Kramer vs Kramer actually won that year but Breaking Away was nominated. But the competition wasn't strong: Normal Rae, Apocalypse Now, and All That Jazz were the other nominees.

Growing up in Vegas in the 60s and 70s was a trip (don't recognize it now).
Had a fair number of friends (including my first girlfriend) whose fathers were in the mafia. Most of those kids got great jobs out of high school in the casinos parking cars (valets) and carrying bags (bellmen) -- making near minimum-wage but six figures annually in tax-free tips.
One of my buddies from football got THE primo gig at Caesar's Palace (the classiest & most expensive place back then): bellman who helped "run the hookers." Rich guys would come into town and ask him to arrange $1000/night hookers to visit their rooms -- and of course he'd get paid a decent referral fee.

“Well, I understand where Tylee is in heaven,” Lori said. “I know what she’s doing and where she is, so it’s been almost six years since she passed away.”
She added, “I mean, this is the catalyst, right? What happened with her and Charles was the catalyst of her killing herself. So I was precluded from talking about that. I was precluded from bringing that up. But the detectives obviously don’t say that she killed herself.”
Lori further claimed that she told her surviving son, Colby Ryan, that Tylee died by suicide after killing her younger brother J.J., per the outlet.

She was left badly disfigured after a dental procedure resulted in infection that spread to her nasal cartilage. The infection left permanent facial damage. At the time she was on an expedition and not near medical help. She almost died. She was saved by emergency surgery back home.

My last Golden was a pretty typical goof ball. Absolutely loved ever person he ever met.
We were out for a walk in Boston one day and ran into Leslie Bibb who was in town for some acting thing. She spent about 15 minutes covering him with kisses and love. Her boyfriend who was with her, Sam Rockwell, was not happy and looked at me as if it was my fault. Made me smile which made him even more unhappy.
Not bad for a dumbass dog.

Oh yeah; I have lots of stories along those lines ... my favorite being a guy (everybody hated on the football team in high school) trying to rob a downtown casino (to feed his steroid habit which eventually led to a brief NFL career) by snatching a "drop box" being collected by security guards from one of the gaming tables in the middle of the night.
He was immediately met by other security once outside the casino, and instead of calling the police -- they took him to a nearby alley and beat the sh*t out of him. Last time he tried that stunt ...

The Week In Woke
Vegan "butcher" complains has her "vegan butcher shop" goes bankrupt.
Vegan 'butcher' unleashes as business dries up amid surprising new trend: 'We're out of money' The owner of a once bustling vegan butcher shop in Sydney fears her business will soon close amid an emerging trend away from meat-free products. The shift has resulted in dozens of vegan restaurants closing, companies that made meat alternatives collapsing and supermarkets shrinking their vegan offerings - though those in the industry have struggled to put a finger on why. Suzy Spoon has run meat-free butcheries that bear her name in the Sydney suburbs of Marrickville and Newtown for more than a decade but business is drying up. 'Woolworths has reduced our range dramatically and Harris Farm has quartered what they would buy from us before Covid. It's terrible for our business,' the entrepreneur told news.com.au. 'We're out of money. We're out of everything, we're tired.' She said she has seen other vegan business making a shift to serving up some meat products. 'But I can't do that, because that's just not how I roll. That will never be what I do.' A shift away from meat had been happening over the last decade. At its peak, one report found that between 2020 and 2023 there was a 47 per cent increase in plant-based meat sales - but over the last two years it seems the bubble has burst. ... A quick browse of the Australian Vegan Reddit thread showed that its being noticed by those who adhere to the diet. 'What happened? For a little while it was awesome being vegan in Australia. But the last few years have been brutal,' one person said.See if you can psychically divine what this "Suzy Spoons" pyrsyn might look like. Do you have an image in your mind's eye?
Breanna MorelloYou probably know that when the White House began investigating the leaks of top-secret information to leftwing "news" outlets, one group of suspected culprits were all the Obama/Biden appointees hanging on to "advisory" board positions. They've now all been fired. Thank goodness.
@BreannaMorello BREAKING NEWS Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ended the service of all committee members on DOD advisory committees. This would include the seat held by Susan Rice.

Surprise! Adam Carolla was right when he said that California would slow-roll approvals for rebuilding the houses the city and state conspired to destroy, and Karen Bass and Gavin Newsome were lying when they said they'd accelerate the permitting process.
Months after the catastrophic wildfires that devastated large swaths of Southern California, Los Angeles--under Democrat leadership--continues to lag in its rebuilding efforts. Despite President Donald Trump's swift declaration of a national emergency and promises to waive federal red tape, city officials have only approved a fraction of the necessary rebuilding permits. Key Details: As of late April, just 23 rebuilding permits have been issued in Pacific Palisades, where 5,619 structures were damaged or destroyed. President Trump declared a national emergency within days of his inauguration and pledged to waive all federal permits to speed up rebuilding. California Assembly Leader James Gallagher blames Governor Newsom and Democrat lawmakers for dragging their feet despite federal action.John Cusack, who seems to be learning disabled, claimed that MAGA crucified Jesus or something.

A federal judge on Friday gave preliminary approval to a new White House press policy that downgrades The Associated Press to the same status as newspapers, eliminating the wire service's previously privileged access to the president. U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee who had earlier ruled that the White House unlawfully discriminated against AP for declining to use the term "Gulf of America," said the revised policy appears to be viewpoint neutral. "I'm not inclined to see anything wrong with it," said McFadden during a Friday hearing. The new policy places reporters from the Associated Press--along with those from Bloomberg and Reuters--on equal footing with newspaper outlets like The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times. Under the revised rules, AP photographers will also hold the same status as other photojournalists.Ugly charisma vacuum Pedro Pascal once again showed that Disney allows leftwing firebrands to alienate as much as the public as they like while also firing Gina Carano for saying that the Nazis began their campaign of hatred by first normalizing the hatred of one neighbor for another. That's not the real reason they fired her. They fired her because she wouldn't bend to the trans mafia and post her pronouns. But Disney didn't want to admit that they fired a popular actress for not obeying the corporate line on constant promotion of transgenderism for children, so they claimed that Carano's warning about the Nazi campaign of hate was some kind of attack on the Jews. Really. Anyway, here's the guy who's about to lose his career after Fantastic Four makes $60 million in its opening weekend:

The Last of Us star was responding to a post by activist Tariq Ra'ouf, who criticized the author for celebrating the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom's landmark ruling last week that trans women should not be recognized as women and that "sex" should legally mean biological sex. Rowling had posted, "I love it when a plan comes together," along with noting to a critic, "I get the same royalties whether you read [my books] or burn them. Enjoy your marshmallows!" Wrote Pascal in the comment section of Ra'ouf's post: "Awful disgusting SHIT is exactly right. Heinous LOSER behavior."In related news, Pedro Pascal's skin looks exactly like an aerial photograph of Dresden in June 1945. BTW, Gina Carano is obtaining information about how much Disney pays Pedro Pascal. She wants to show the court how much Disney will pay someone for following their corporate political line.
Remember, California passed a law to protect communists. The law says that employers cannot punish employees for political speech. If it protects dirty filthy communists, it also protects nice Catholic girls like Gina Carano.
Gina Carano is getting the salaries she's looking for. A federal judge has ruled that the mixed martial arts fighter turned actor will be allowed to see compensation information for other stars in the "Star Wars" universe on Disney+, including Pedro Pascal, Diego Luna, and Rosario Dawson. The April 3 ruling came in a lawsuit Carano filed against Disney over her termination from the "Star Wars" spinoff show "The Mandalorian" after two seasons. Disney announced in 2021 that Carano wouldn't return to the show for a third season after she had made social media posts comparing political conservatives in America to Jews in the Holocaust, questioning the results of the 2020 election and the use of masks during the coronavirus pandemic, and using the pronouns section of her Twitter (now known as X) page to mock transgender people. Carano's lawsuit, which was funded by X owner Elon Musk, accuses Disney of violating California labor laws by firing her because of her political views. Disney says the company has creative control over which characters it discontinues as well as a First Amendment right to disassociate itself from Carano's views. As part of the lawsuit, Carano's attorneys asked for salary information related to a constellation of other stars in "Star Wars" shows on Disney's streaming service. They said the information was crucial for calculating damages if Carano were to win her lawsuit. Carano's lawyers also argued Disney should be forced to disclose salary information for the lead actors of other "Star Wars" shows -- such as Amandla Stenberg and Luna -- because Carano had been set to star in a "Mandalorian" spinoff titled "Rangers of the New Republic" before Disney fired her. US Magistrate Judge Steve Kim ruled in Carano's favor, ruling that Disney needed to turn over a spreadsheet or chart of the compensation Pascal, Dawson, and the costar Carl Weathers received for the first three seasons of "The Mandalorian," Dawson's salary for "The Book of Boba Fett" and the first two seasons of "Ahsoka," Stenberg's salary for "The Acolyte," and the compensation Luna received for the first two seasons of "Andor."

The plan we're watching play out: Overload the country with as many unvetted illegals as possible, by any means necessary. Know that mobilization of resources and enforcement operations to remove them would be extraordinarily daunting. Rely on heavily funded leftwing legal groups and activist courts to delay, obstruct and impede deportations at every possible turn -- -- in an attempt to nullify the election result and override Americans' overwhelming desire for deportations, while looking to enshrine millions of illegals permanently into the country, reshaping congressional apportionment and securing future voter blocs for the Democrat party. In parallel, utilize that same set of lawfare groups and activist judges to fight any and all election security measures, such as implementing voter ID and stopping non-citizen voting. And, of course, count on their legacy media PR arm to run information ops and secrete a never-ending deluge of propaganda to run cover for it all. The end goal being: Single-party, permanent power. If Kamala would've won, the borders would have remained open, and mass importation would've continued. Game over. Because Trump won, and the border closed -- the judicial contingency has been implemented. That's where we are now. The plan stays in motion, as they attempt to run out the clock on Trump 47.

@BillMelugin_ EXCLUSIVE: The families of two teens killed by an illegal alien who crashed into them while drunk, high, & speeding at 100 mph in OC in 2021 have been told by the state of CA that their killer will be released from prison early in July, just 3.5 years into a 10-year sentence for killing the teens, who both burned alive. Oscar Eduardo Ortega-Anguiano, a twice deported Mexican illegal alien, had a lengthy rap sheet prior to killing 19-year-olds Anya Varfolomeev & Nikolay Osokin in the DUI crash on the 405 freeway in Seal Beach in November 2021. Both were US citizens, and they were dating. Ortega-Anguiano had several felony convictions, had gone to state prison, and had multiple convictions for driving without a license, but was still on the streets when he crashed into the teens' vehicle. In spring of 2022, Ortega-Anguiano was convicted in OC of two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated for killing the teens, and a judge sentenced him to serve 10 years in prison for each count, but concurrently, meaning he would serve both 10-year-sentences at the same time. The victims' families felt that was already a weak sentence, but they tell me they were notified by the CA Department of Corrections on Easter Sunday that Ortega-Anguiano is scheduled for an early release on July 19th, 2025, only a little more than 3 years into his sentence, leaving the victims' families shocked, and outraged given the seriousness of the crime and his prior criminal history. They provided us the CDCR document showing the July 19th release date. The CA Department of Corrections wouldn't confirm the release date when I reached out, saying they "cannot provide information on an incarcerated person's release date or location in advance of their release." They added that "incarcerated persons may earn credits for participating in rehabilitative programming, which may move parole eligible dates to an earlier date. ICE confirms to @FoxNews that they have placed a detainer on Ortega-Anguiano with the CA Dept of Corrections and intend to take him into custody upon his release. They hope the CA Dept. of Corrections will honor the detainer request and transfer him to their custody upon his release, which they often do. But the families fear, even if he is deported, he will just re-enter the US as a gotaway, as he's done twice before.

All of this has been obvious for some time. Or, another way to put it is that Ron DeSantis walked so that Donald Trump could run. When the time came to formulate a policy response to the woke left, no one mattered more than the governor of Florida. He tried to ban critical race theory in education. He sharply limited discussion of gender and sexuality in public schools. He tried to limit the free speech of university professors. He retaliated against Disney when it had the audacity to exercise its freedom of speech to criticize the governor's policies. And through it all, DeSantis declared that Florida was the place where "woke goes to die." In his second term, Trump is a scaled-up version of DeSantis. Every element of the DeSantis model has been deployed against Trump's ideological enemies. Trump retaliated against law firms based on politics. He's attacking the academic freedom and independence of private universities. He's sweeping immigrants off the street based on nothing more than the content of their speech. Precious few anti-woke activists objected to DeSantis's tactics. And precious few object to Trump today. It turns out that when they said, "Let us speak," they weren't embracing free speech as a universal value, but rather as an instrumental value -- free speech is important only so long as they get to say what they think. The left? It's too dangerous to be heard.He continually fails to note that the speech being "controlled" here is the speech of paid employees of the state "teaching" children. He thinks woke teachers have an unassailable right to fly their freak flags for other people's children. He's in favor of censoring rightist speech so that adults can't hear it, but when right-leaning people forbid radicals to indoctrinate children on the taxpayer's dime (and therefore rightly subject to oversight by the government cutting their checks), he claims their speech rights are absolute. We must protect adults from hearing Trumpian claims, but children? Feel free to talk about anal dildos and polyamory with them. Like other hard left-wing propaganda organizations, the Dispatch is offering up the canard, "Well, some of the most extremist left-wingers accuse us of not being left-wing enough, therefore, we must be down-the-middle centrist."

"It's just so bad. Their policy is so bad," Trump said, shaking his head. "You know, they're great at cheating, and they're great at certain things, but they are so bad on policy, they're so far off." Trump pointed out the absurdity of the Democrats clinging to the same losing strategies that already cost them a major election defeat. "When I watched them trying to prosecute the same things that just lost an election in a landslide on, and they're still going through the same things. It's just crazy," he said. "And they don't know who their leaders are." Turning to the party's emerging figures, Trump singled out Crockett. "They have a new one, Crockett. Have you seen Crockett? Have you ever seen her talk? This is going to be their leader?" he asked incredulously. Beck joked that he hoped Crockett would be the next Democratic presidential candidate, to which Trump responded with a mix of amusement and concern. "Well, we can hope in one way," Trump said, "but in another way, it's pretty demeaning. It's demeaning to our country. You don't see anybody out there."Video at the link.

Vegetarian Indian food can be tasty, and you can get meat in dishes too.
The Vegan foods I have are always joyless limp things. And the fact that the consumers look like they have a wasting disease does not help.

The public was promised all sorts of benefits to "plant-based" "meat". It was supposed to be more nutritious, taste better, use less resources, thereby being cheaper, and reduce global warming.
Despite all the promises, most of these products are significantly less nutritious, deficient in many amino acids. People tried the stuff and it certainly didn't taste better, and the ones claiming to taste like meat actually tasted much worse.
The ones which actually were nutritious were more expensive that even great cuts of meats, which blows the "less resources" argument.
To top it off, the average person doesn't believe the global warming crap.
They promised, they were given a chance, it turned out to be bullshit, and the market has moved on. "Creative destruction", I think it's called.

But Attention Whores don't operate that way. If they get any fan blowback or bad press for their attention whoring blather, they are dumbfounded and turn vicious.
You know what Neil Armstrong did in late 1969? No, not write a book or go attention whoring in the USA. He went on Bob Hope's USO Christmas Tour to US military installations and USN ships. You can find videos on YouTube. The sailors, soldiers, and Marines cheered him like crazy. 'Murican hero. REAL Astronaut.

My oldest bought into that big time. Whole song and dance, yet struggled to maintain weight. Her boyfriend at the time was just a regular dude and at one point offered her a chicken wing at a bar, and she forgot herself and bit into it...
...and oh the JOY of that bite! It was so filling, so flavorful, the texture, she had another, and then another and could feel strength flowing into her system.
And that was the end of that. She still likes the designer feel-good foods, but has no objection to poaching one of my steaks when the grill is running.

You know, the thing I've never understood about the "Christ killer" Jew hate is that he came in order for that specific event to occur. Assuming the Sanhedrin had been "better people" (or, I suppose, Pilate had a spine) rather than the equivalent of modern politicians, GOD would have achieved his ends via different means. Not to mention the fact that they would have, presumably inadvertently, been thwarting HIS will. Even assuming that all Jews, for all time, bear the burden of the actions of people over 2000 years in the past, they were acting as GOD required, albeit unknowingly.

In a morally grounded society, this is a tremendous strength. Women enforce a sense of decency, policing each other as well as supporting the men.
But this has all been subverted, and women have been brainwashed to think that killing babies is the highest good and that the ideal outcome is to have 10 cats will living in a rent-subsidized apartment while working as a barista and carrying $200,000 in student loans for that masters in gender studies.

The Sanhedrin hated Christ and hated that he was able to actually heal people, discuss the scriptures, and put them in their place. They wanted him dead. The crowd said let it be on our heads and that of our children in the gospels. That doesn't mean that they could do that. As the Epistles and Christ Himself pointed out, man was no longer going to be punished for the sins of his father

"The Jews" are not one united group. Most of the Jews listened to Jesus ... sermon on the mount and other occasions. (JJ speaks of the current "self gassing Jews)
As always, groups get big then get taken over by evil forces. The recent pope for instance, but OT history has occasions of a few faithful Jews having to hide in caves, from the corrupted institution.
Corruption of large institutions is an OT theme. (Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah, others). No Group is universally United. Evil infiltrates and divides ... and conquers.
Even Apostle Paul said those that had stood wth hi had turned against him, and he names a few that stood faithful. The "remnant" of faithful are (generally) Never the Large Group.

Yeah the Passion Plays usually make that clear. Sometimes going too far in the line of making him compassionate. Likely a ham-fisted dude who cared little for local politics. In one instance a Roman whipped his tool out at Jewish festival and they went Berserk and Rioted. Pilate called in the Army and the mob panicked and many civilians were crushed trying to get away.

The term "Arab Christians" is pure propaganda. They are as Arab as I am. They are the descendants of the Jews who converted to Christianity in the time of Christ. The notion that the Arabs who overran the Levant in the 7th Century AD would somehow product Christian converts is absurd.
The Chaldean Catholic liturgy still uses the actual Aramaic, which is as familiar to them as Shakespearean English is to us.

Historically Arab Christians more of a post Islam effect, though there may have been some about earlier. The tribes living in the desert between Persia, then Islamic areas and the Levant held by Rome and Byzantium and Persia and Isalamic converted to one religion or the other and sold their cavalry to both sides for scouting, with a side line in Banditry. They used the religious tie to have a tenuous protection from the other rival empire.

That may be all it is but is it shared or are you the only one being simulated to? If it's shared then that may as well just be existence itself since there is no fundamental way to discern otherwise.

Don't think so, they did not have the right to capital punishment under Roman Law. So they had to get Pilate's permission to do so.
When the Apostle Paul was similarly brought up on charges, he, as a citizen used his right to appeal to the Emperor in Rome and they had to ship him there.

Fake News The Left Can Use: USAID Has Been Funding Leftwing "News" Agencies Around the World
Mario NawfalMeanwhile, the left authorized $4 trillion in taxpayer dollars for their own political warfare uses:
@MarioNawfal EXCLUSIVE - BOUGHT AND PAID FOR: HOW $472 MILLION BUILT A GLOBAL LEFT-WING MEDIA MACHINE In February 2025, WikiLeaks pulled back the curtain on a government-funded media empire that's been quietly shaping what billions of people read, watch, and believe. At the center of it all? A group you've probably never heard of: Internews Network. Funded mostly by USAID, Internews presents itself as a friendly nonprofit supporting "independent journalism." But behind that noble-sounding mission lies a global operation that critics say is more about managing narratives than reporting facts. The numbers are jaw-dropping. Nearly $473 million--yes, that's nearly half a billion--has flowed to Internews from USAID and the U.S. State Department over the past 2 decades. Add in millions more from billionaire-backed organizations like George Soros's Open Society, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and you've got a media Frankenstein stitched together with government cash and private influence. In 2023 alone, Internews claims to have worked with 4,291 media outlets, produced 4,799 hours of programming, and trained over 9,000 journalists. It also says it reached an audience of 778 million people worldwide. That's more than double the population of the United States. But here's where things get murky. Internews isn't just giving media groups equipment and microphones. It's tying grants to ideological conditions. In Hungary, for example, officials accused Internews of funding anti-government media under the guise of "media development." If you didn't toe the line, you didn't get the money. In Ukraine, it funded 9 out of 10 major media outlets--almost all promoting pro-NATO, pro-conflict content during wartime. And it's not just about news. In Kosovo, just months before major protests broke out in Serbia, Internews offered grants to reporters to write in Serbian. The pitch? Promote "positive" stories about Albanian-Serb relations. Sounds harmless--until you realize this was a foreign-funded push to shape how people talk about sensitive ethnic conflicts. Then there's Internews' Earth Journalism Network, which recently launched a $100,000 media grant focused on climate reporting in Asia. Sounds great--except that the fine print gives Internews and its donors the rights to edit and publish all the content. So yes, they're funding journalism--but they're also controlling the output. Even advertising isn't off limits. Through its "Ads for News" program, Internews partners with GroupM, the world's biggest media buyer, to funnel ad dollars to "trusted" outlets. If you're not on the list, you get nothing. It's a digital loyalty program--except instead of points, you get credibility and cash. Internews is led by Jeanne Bourgault, a former U.S. government official who made $451,000 last year. She previously worked on post-Soviet "transition programs" and oversaw a $250 million budget at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. In 2023, she launched a $10 million media fund at the Clinton Global Initiative--a project backed by Hillary Clinton. The Internews board includes big Democratic donors and political insiders, and WikiLeaks says at least one of its six subsidiaries is based in the Cayman Islands, a notorious offshore haven. Meanwhile, its headquarters in California? Reportedly an abandoned building still listed in official filings. Let that sink in: a half-billion-dollar media empire, pushing narratives in dozens of countries, funded by your tax dollars--and run from a ghost office. Internews says it's here to "support press freedom." But as one media analyst put it, "It's not about giving journalists a voice--it's about choosing which voices get heard." So the next time you read a "fact-check" or see a story calling something "disinformation," remember: it might just be brought to you by the same people who paid $473 million to decide what the world thinks is true.

Insurrection Barbie
@DefiyantlyFree This thread shows how $4 Trillion in Federal Funds Were Funneled Through Leftist NGOs to Enrich Activists, Mobilize Voters, and Power Anti-Trump Protests--With Receipts This is maybe the most important thread I have ever done. It explains how the two biggest pieces of legislation from the Biden administration filled the coffers of all of these activist groups that have been engaging in the Trump 2.0 resistance. From GOTV efforts, to Anti-Tesla protests to the legal battles against Trump. The Center for American Progress (CAP), founded by Clinton ally John Podesta, is more than a think tank--it's the strategic command center for the modern Left. Under Biden, CAP helped orchestrate the biggest activist cash grab in U.S. history: $4 TRILLION.
When Biden tapped Podesta to oversee implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act--a $369B climate fund--it wasn't just about energy. It was about control. Podesta's real mission? Redistribute billions to Democrat-aligned NGOs. But that $369B was just one piece. The combined total from COVID relief, infrastructure, and climate bills under Biden exceeds $4 TRILLION. CAP helped shape who got that money--and it wasn't the states. It was activist orgs. Enter the Justice40 Initiative--designed to steer 40% of benefits to "disadvantaged communities." In practice, this meant bypassing elected officials and funneling funds directly to NGOs, most of them progressive-aligned. These grants weren't just for "climate justice." They funded GOTV, "community empowerment," "trusted messengers," and "technical assistance." Translation: campaign infrastructure disguised as public service.
Organizations like Indivisible and the Sunrise Movement became major beneficiaries. Both have organized anti-Trump protests, Tesla shutdowns, and youth voter drives--and both have received massive indirect support through these federal programs. Indivisible used its gains to grow chapters in every swing state, launch digital voter targeting, and coordinate pressure campaigns against GOP legislation. Their footprint expanded after receiving funds through "equity" and "democracy advancement" grants.
Sunrise Movement, tied to "climate resilience" grants, led protests at Tesla showrooms and occupied congressional offices. In 2024, they claimed to have made over 4 million youth voter contacts, playing a massive role in Democrat turnout. Podesta and CAP created the policy architecture that made this possible. They advised federal agencies to embed "equity" mandates and prioritize "community-based organizations" (aka: progressive NGOs) in grantmaking. In total, the Justice40 Accelerator--just one program--helped NGOs win $138 million in grants. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Let's be clear: these aren't apolitical charities. * Indivisible was built to oppose Trump. * Sunrise led sit-ins to demand Biden go further left. * Faith in Action and EDF advocate openly for progressive legislation. And they're all funded by your tax dollars--thanks to Podesta's CAP and their policy-to-grant pipeline. This is government-funded activism, hidden behind a green mask. CAP didn't just lobby from the sidelines. Its alumni staff the Biden admin. Its reports became agency regulations. Its "equity" mandates were inserted into budget guidance. This wasn't legislation. This was executive-branch capture. Voters never approved it. Congress never debated it. And now, the Left has permanent infrastructure--built and maintained by public funding. Meanwhile, conservative groups get nothing. No parallel infrastructure. No grants. No embedded agencies. Just censorship, audits, and public smears. This is what they mean by "saving democracy": * Billions to leftist orgs * Massive GOTV ops under federal cover * Protest movements subsidized by taxpayers * Power concentrated in NGOs that answer to no one Final receipts: *$600B+ allocated across 500+ programs (Justice40) * $138M+ in direct awards via Justice40 Accelerator * 4M+ voter contacts by Sunrise Movement * Indivisible protest partnerships with House Democrats * CAP's direct personnel pipeline into federal agencies CAP built it. Podesta directed it. NGOs profited. And the Left now has a publicly funded political machine disguised as a climate plan. The Trump administration MUST investigate this fully.

If you're sending hundreds of billions in aid globally, it's easy to skim off the top with something that sounds legit and it becomes a very big number.
How much of the $200 billion or so actually went to Ukraine?
Nothing would surprise me anymore.

Replying to @JimFreakGR @visegrad24 @hmardiris
The claim by Visegrád 24 about 10 Pakistani soldiers being killed in an ambush in Balochistan on April 25, 2025, appears to be inaccurate or false. No credible news outlets, like Dawn or Geo News, report this incident, and the video in the post likely shows a March 2025 attack by the Baloch Liberation Army, not a new event.
Visegrád 24 has a history of spreading misinformation, with a "low credibility" rating from Media Bias/Fact Check. This aligns with your skepticism about their posts.
While Balochistan faces ongoing separatist violence, there’s no evidence for this specific claim. The region’s unrest often stems from local grievances over resource exploitation, like the Sui gas field, but this doesn’t support the post’s narrative.

Tensions erupted at the Vatican as the public gathered to pay respects to Pope Francis, only to be met with a strict photo ban imposed by security. After several pilgrims attempted to take selfies with the Pontiff's mortal remains, guards were forced to intervene, locking down the area and banning all phones in a bid to restore order. The solemn atmosphere quickly turned chaotic as the selfie-obsessed crowd clashed with security personnel. With the Pope’s body lying in state, this controversial move has sparked heated debates..."

Someone did a check on one of the earlier 60 billion chunks.
Something like half was payments/contracts with US weaponeers for equipment or ammo. Another 10-20 went to Ukraine government or NGOs there, most of which was proably stolen. So about a quarter got to the Ukraine military, where another chunk was stolen, leaving maybe 15 percent to actually hit the front line.

The Left Is Now Shrieking About a Right-Wing "Womanosphere," Even Worse Than the Manosphere, Because It Encourages Young Women to be "Thin, Fertile, and Republican"
I mentioned this in last night's Quick Hits, I think.Hey I already said that.
Left-wing media has identified a dangerous new political archetype: the thin, fertile, Republican woman. Beware the burgeoning online "womanosphere" urging an audience of young women away from feminism and towards marriage, children, and being attractive, warns The Guardian. The outlet points to prominent conservative commentators such as Brett Cooper and Candace Owens, along with publications like Evie Magazine, as emblematic of this clunkily-named counterpart to the "manosphere." These women are united by their "desire to return to a gender-essentialist worldview," according to The Guardian, which casts "women as submissive homemakers" and "men as strong providers." Oh, the horror.
"Gender-essentialism" refers to the outlandish belief that men and women are different. One is free to draw varied conclusions from this fact. The left has taken up a strange quarrel with the concept of biological sex itself, an argument which defeats itself at the outset. How can one analyze why female commentators specifically appeal to females without acknowledging the validity of the category? The outlet warns of "an organized effort" to create an "alternative rightwing media ecosystem targeting young female US audiences." One discerns the outlet's terror at the prospect -- no great wonder, given the much vaunted "podcast strategy" helped win over young male voters to Donald Trump in the 2024 election. "Organized" is supposed to be a dirty word. It connotes an insidious masterplan to take women off birth control and put them on quick-slimming diets. But the legacy media, with its extreme left-wing bias, is surely no less organized and strident in its political and cultural prescriptions than the "right-wing media." Notice the asymmetry in terms. The New York Times and Netflix are simply media. They claim neutral ground. It's a powerful rhetorical trick. If they can successfully assert themselves as unbiased observers and artists, they fashion reality itself in their terms. ... "Young women have been hailed as the saving grace of the Democratic party, the force that will deliver us from all those angry young men spending all their time listening to podcasts, but that's not a given," writes The Guardian. Therein lies a sick admission. The Democratic Party prefers women fat, infertile, single, and unhappy. Why? Because those women make the most fervent ideologues. Leftism inverts natural hierarchies. It lofts the ugly and sick above the beautiful. It punishes any natural inclination towards the latter. This appeals to malcontents who depend on such an infrastructure to confer them status and meaning. Or a green card, as the case may be. Who profits by a woman being thin and fertile? Why, only the woman herself, the young men interested in dating and marrying them, her future family, and all the rest of society by extension. The left's supposed concern for female "freedom" and "independence" is false. They'd just prefer women be dependent on the state, not a husband.As I frequently say, the Democrat Party is the Husband of Last Resort for unmarriagable, miserable, mentally-ill women. Here's a bit more from this deranged screed from The Guardian:
It's not only rightwingers who have gripes with contemporary feminism. Many on the left have been critical of shallow "girlboss feminism" (the bipartisan backlash to the embarrassing Blue Origin flight being a case in point), noting that impossible expectations are placed on women in a crassly capitalist society that offers little support for working mothers. According to a 2023 survey run by the non-profit Catalyst, four in 10 women said they felt they would need to change jobs in order to manage childcare demands, and the US is still the only rich country in the world without a national paid parental leave policy. Yet for this new womanosphere, the response is not advancing policies like paid family leave or affordable childcare, but to return to an idealized, illusory past where being a wife and mother was viewed as a woman's sole purpose. Young women are particularly vulnerable to these appeals. Like their peers in the manosphere, these commentators are capitalizing on a real crisis of loneliness and economic precarity facing gen Z. "Social media has truly given gen Z a warped sense of reality," said Cooper, who has described dating apps as "treacherous" and a "barren" landscape. The alternative vision these influencers are proposing is scarily retrograde and would strip women of their freedom and economic independence. "You want to go back and sit in a cubicle when you could have this, like, beautiful amazing child that you've created with the love of your life?" Cooper asked rhetorically on a recent podcast appearance. Instead of trying to have it all, women, she said, need to change their priorities because "if you aren't going to the gym, if you aren't taking care of yourself, if you don't like children, if you only care about your career, and you hate the patriarchy" then a desirable man is "not going to go for you". The type of woman these commentators valorize is thin, straight, fertile, traditionally feminine, conventionally attractive to men and white -- though they try to avoid overt racism, instead opting for sentiments like, "as a minority woman, I'm here to say that you'll be happier and more fulfilled if you aren't consumed by thinking about your race." Anyone who falls outside of this narrow mold is subject to relentless mocking and disparagement. Though they have different tactics and tones, like their cohorts in the manosphere, they play with the idea that calling women fat or ugly is fun and transgressive -- framing it as part of a virtuous quest to rid society of woke, feminist ideals. Young women have been hailed as the saving grace of the Democratic party, the force that will deliver us from all those angry young men spending all their time listening to podcasts, but that's not a given. While young women still went blue in 2024, Joe Biden's 35-point lead in 2020 dwindled to a 24-point lead for Kamala Harris. Other demographics, like Black and Latino men, broke with historical trends to shift to the right this election. Emily Amick, an influencer and political analyst who has been observing the trend on her Substack, said that people might underestimate the womanosphere's impact at their peril. "What we saw in the 2024 presidential election was that the manosphere had a lot more impact than a lot of people expected," Amick said. "I believe that the conservative movement is running the same play with women, and in 2028 we are going to see a massive impact of the messaging machines they have been building."LOL. If only the left had such a network of propaganda nodes...
... In the past two decades, mainstream women's outlets have made attempts to emphasize overall wellbeing instead of outer beauty and valorizing thinness above all. Evie sees this as wokeness run amok. They want to bring back your mother's -- or your grandmother's -- women's magazine, in which it was OK to celebrate a certain body type over others. "When we encounter a heavily tattooed, blue-haired, obese, gender-neutral individual with a bull-ring, that person is communicating to us that they actively disregard the standards for normality that the majority of people agree on," read a 2021 piece titled Objective Feminine Beauty Is Not A Relic Of The Patriarchy. ... Maggie Bullock, a women's magazine veteran who co-writes the Spread, a newsletter about the industry, said she saw outlets like Evie as trying to be something of a "gateway drug" into more extreme conservative ideologies. "Like, we're nice and we're pretty and we're not that radical, don't worry, we're just telling you the truth," she said. "It feels like a wolf in sheep's clothing."What would we do without experts.
...The entire premise of this article, that the Womanosphere is a Great and Growing Threat, relies on overstating its reach. But now, in paragraph 30, they tell you it only has 210,000 subscribers.
Evie's reach shouldn't be overstated -- it has 210,000 followers on Instagram, compared with Cosmopolitan's 4m, and has only put out three print issues in four years -- but they're increasingly finding new ways to garner attention.
You mean how "journalists" pretend they're not partisan so that their clear partisanship passes under people's radar undetected? If only the left had this sort of powerful messaging machine!
From Phyllis Schlafly in the 1970s, who helped mobilize young Christian women against the Equal Rights Amendment, to Ann Coulter and Moms for Liberty, women have long played a role in spreading conservative propaganda. But what sets these new voices apart is that they don't all market themselves as political commentators. In this sense, they are cribbing from the success of the manosphere, which won new Maga converts in part because most of its leading figures weren't explicitly partisan.
Multi-hours-long podcast episodes and Twitch streams from the likes of Rogan, the Nelk Boys or Theo Von are typically much more weighted to cover sports, gambling, drugs and dating than they are to talk about which bill is passing in the Senate. The leading voices of the womanosphere are using a similar strategy. As Brittany Hugoboom put it in an op--ed for the rightwing outlet Quillette: "Conservatives will never win if they imagine themselves as combatants atop defensive battlements, hurling abuse on the mass media. We need to involve ourselves in the creation of pop culture." ...You mean how celebrities attempt to leverage their fame and public goodwill into influencing people's political thinking? If only the left had a network of propagandists such as these! Oh, and I love how the left, which has for 60 years railed against artificial additives in food, are now positively in favor of adulterating food with as many unsafe chemicals as possible.
The coalition drawn to fringe wellness ideas is multifaceted: from the "crunchy" moms frightened of toxic chemicals they believe are in our food and pharmaceuticals, to the chronic illness sufferers frustrated with a medical system they feel has let them down. Yet the savvy voices of the womanosphere have responded by weaponizing genuine anxieties -- which have complex roots and few easy answers -- and serving up far-right propaganda on a platter. "It's sneaky," Clark told the Washington Post. "I want to be seen as: Alex Clark, cool girl, loves health and wellness, happens to be conservative. I'm not trying to beat people over the head with that. I don't think that's persuasive."
...Another expert weighs in.
Clark's crusades against topics such as birth control -- that it "accelerates ageing", "induces abortion", causes cancer and fertility issues -- make more sense in light of the Trump administration's pro-natalist policy agenda, which organizations like Turning Point USA and Project 2025 have spent years crafting. "It's all tied together with the goal of shaming women who have sex and who might get pregnant, and ensuring that they really are forced into the idea of this nuclear family because it preserves current power structures," said Dr Jennifer Lincoln, an OB-GYN in Portland, Oregon. "They come at it from this Maha angle of 'we have to protect women,' and then they legislate away people's choices to use these medicines that are literally life-saving for so many people."
Thin, fertile, and Republican? Sounds hot lol. pic.twitter.com/5De5lq6Zi5

Simple comparison shows conservative women to be more attractive, less crazy, in possession of a sense of humor, and not diametrically opposed to common sense.
So why not denigrate all these qualities? Or, better yet, project the thought that these women are just fooling you by playing the part.
Here's the silver lining. The article(s) are nonsense. The authors know it's nonsense. But, they have absolutely no idea how to show their own team in a positive light, and they won't be changing any time soon. So they create this chimera of an explanation hoping it rationalizes the behavior and appearance of their side.
This is funny, and they don't understand why it's funny. That's the best part.

There is a kind of perverse genius at work here. Autism seems to mean "we have no idea what, or why, but that boy ain't right."
Everything from non-verbal to "does not want the peas to touch the mashed potatoes on the plate."
And in between it somehow includes Rain Man.
So RFK is talking about the "profoundly" disabled. But everyone wants to be diagnosed as on the spectrum because it means they have no time limit on SAT. We end up with a class of millions defending their status as a class, claiming simultaneously that it is a disability, a protected class, *and* not bad or a problem in any way that we would want to reduce potential causes.

Long long ago in the mists of yesteryear when people had good manners, it was expected that when a woman rose from the table to leave and return it was expected that all the men at that table would rise from their chairs, both upon her departure and upon her return.
In order to show consideration for the men at the table, so that they weren't bobbing up and down like corks in a bathtub every time a woman got up, women all left the table at the same time, so that all the men would only have to stand twice - once when the women left, and once when they returned.
The context has been lost, as men no longer stand when the women leave the table, but the habit of all the women leaving the table at once remains.

The New York Times Whines That an Illegal Alien Was Deported After 21 Years (Cue the Violins) "to a 'Home' He Barely Knew"
Their headline and propagandistic twitter post omitted a highly relevant fact: He was a drug dealer convicted of kidnapping. He then served 15 years in prison for that crime.
Via Twitchy, this is outrageous propaganda. Twitter should limit the NYT's account to exercise some control over this Fake News Russian Disinformation.Tricia McLaughlinThe article does grudgingly admit his ticky-tack kidnapping conviction and the 15 years he served in prison. Though the Times insists that that conviction is in doubt, because, the Times says, this deportee "disputes" the conviction. Ah, I see. A convict "disputes" his conviction. Well why didn't you say so? Obviously he's innocent because no convicted criminal would ever lie. But most people aren't going to see the article -- they're going to see the headline, and the twitter post, and those claim that he's just a guy who got deported.
@TriciaOhio The New York Times conveniently glossed over that this illegal alien, Nascimento Blair is a convicted kidnapper and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. In 2008, he was issued a final order of removal. Because of the Biden administration's open border policies, this criminal illegal alien was released onto the streets of New York.
You are a convicted criminal. That's why they look at you like you're a convicted criminal.
Nascimento Blair returned home in shackles. He landed in Jamaica in February, 21 years after he had abandoned the island, seated next to dozens of his countrymen who were also handcuffed. As he stepped off the plane at the seaside airport in Kingston and felt the scorching Caribbean sun of his youth, Mr. Blair, 46, was greeted with suspicion. Still dazed, he looked out of place. He had on the same winter clothes -- a peacoat, turtleneck, gray suit and Chelsea boots -- he had been wearing when U.S. immigration authorities had abruptly detained him on a frigid morning in New York City weeks earlier. He noticed his slightly Americanized accent as he sat through hours of interrogation by Jamaican authorities at the airport. And he felt like an outcast as Jamaican officials snapped his mug shot, took his fingerprints and asked about his past. "They don't look at you like a Jamaican," Mr. Blair said. "They look at you like a criminal."
So it was his kidnapping conviction that got him deported, and not racism and/or "fear of brown people," huh?
Mr. Blair did not give them details about his past, an odyssey that began with a side hustle dealing marijuana in the New York suburbs as a 24-year-old Jamaican transplant, which led to a kidnapping conviction he disputed and a 15-year prison sentence he fulfilled. It was his criminal past that had gotten him deported from the United States, where he had been rebuilding his life and seeking redemption.
He had earned two college degrees, started a trucking business, mentored people released from prison, cared for a fiancée with breast cancer, taken classes at Columbia University.Oh wow he took classes at Columbia night school. He's a regular Maryland Father.
LOL. The article pushes the factoid that he was released from prison in 2020 -- the year of the covid crisis -- and Trump didn't deport him before he left office. The NYT seems to believe that if a president doesn't make it his top priority to deport you as soon as he can, then you are grandfathered into remaining into the country forever. By the way, the NYT talks about this guy "living in America" for 21 years, as if he has squatters rights that kick in after that time period. For fifteen of those years "living in America," he was living in federal cell because he's a drug-dealing kidnapper. He kidnapped someone and was convicted of it within a few years of coming to America and enriching our precious diversity with his crimes.
None of it would stave off deportation: He was among the first few thousand immigrants scattered across the globe during the early days of President Trump's deportation campaign. On paper, Mr. Blair fit the profile of the people Mr. Trump says he wants to deport: those with criminal backgrounds. In a statement, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security blamed the Biden administration for not deporting Mr. Blair sooner. But to Mr. Blair and his supporters, his life story was one of rehabilitation, nuanced and filled with qualities that they believe Mr. Trump's deportation machine disregards as it flies out immigrants en masse.
The New York Times conveniently glossed over that this illegal alien, Nascimento Blair is a convicted kidnapper and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

The media keeps actively trying to portray the worst people as victims. There is nothing in the entire article to suggest Blair, who unsurprisingly also was taking classes at Columbia University, was wrongly deported. https://t.co/jlzrJ7zt3t pic.twitter.com/3cdVGZHB11

REMINDER: The reason Democrat judges are fighting so hard to keep illegals - even the criminal aliens - is all about control of the House.

He has never legally worked in this country, I would imagine. We locked him up for 15 years, that's not cheap.
I imagine he's been on every welfare program known to man for the 21 years he was here, other than the 15 years he was in prison.
And I'm sure we've also paid for his cellphone, housing, medical care, etc.

Yeah, I agree thats very likely what happened. But that's infuriating to me. Because if someone trying to follow the law wanted to start a trucking company, that involves a lot of paperwork and DOT numbers and inspections and insurance and up front capital. Not to mention getting a CDL, and passing a physical, and random drug tests.
But when our buddy here (New York man?) violates all kinds of laws and regulations to run his illegal business, he obviously has a massive cost advantage to the guy trying to do it the right way.
That's not a victimless crime at all.
Not to mention, what happens if one of his uninspected, uninsured trucks, almost definitely driven by an unlicensed illegal alien, kills someone?
The whole thing is fucked.
As Mark Steyn said years ago, we're a nation of the undocumented and the overdocumented. Two sets of rules that massively disfavor the people who are citizens here. In our own fucking country. It's sick.

I don't want him here legally, either.
He has a home. In Jamaica. I have a home here. He can stay there, I can stay here.
Why does the entire fucking world get to fill out some paperwork and throw some money at attorneys and all of a sudden they're just as American as I am? And half the time they're just here to make money, have some anchor babies, then retire back "home" where their money goes farther?
My family is buried here. My family fought in multiple wars here. Generations of my family paid taxes, worked shit jobs, got treated like shit to work their way up so that their grandkids and great grandkids could experience "the american dream".
And that all counts for nothing?
And the "we're all children of immigrants" thing is bullshit. It was in the US's best interest to settle the west when the huge wave of Irish and Italians came here in the late 1800s to early 1900s. It wasn't out of some ideal about unlimited immigration.

I know many immigrants who came here to work. I've never met one who came here because they're huge fans of George Washington and the American Way.
They see us as a giant economic zone where they came come and make money. The illegals do it while skirting / ignoring all of the laws that hold back Americans from doing those jobs. They pay no income tax and operating in the gray and black market. The legal ones play disgusting nepotism games to get their entire families on payrolls at companies to cheat the visa system.
And those are the best case scenarios.
If we're just an economic zone and not a country with a unique culture, then someone should tell us that, so we'll be sure to stop paying taxes and stop signing up to fight in the North American Economic Zone's wars.

Donna, he had a deportation order about three years into his 15 year sentence for kidnapping and drugs. So he was released in 2020 from prison. Basically, with the outstanding deportation order, if he tried to get parole for green card status, he might have got it or might not have but then would be deported or on the run.

This is how the vast majority of people in the earth function. The US (and most of western europe) is the exception. That's why the US and western europe have been so wildly successful.
So instead of trying to export that "do the right thing" mindset to the world, we decided to import millions of people who don't believe in that, don't have a "social contract" with us, and could care less about Americans or their weird social norms or anything like that.
It will collapse our culture. We're watching it happen in slow motion right now.

A life sentence chained the Meghan doesn't count as criminal conduct. The keys to his handcuffs are in his own pocket.
He should, however, been expelled for his lying on immigration forms (if he did not, then it is on the people admitting him).
Harry has pretty much shit in his own nest--if William takes the throne, Harry is fcked from returning ever to the UK and if he stays in the US, he will be under house arrest with Meghan. None of the Commonwealth appears to want the pair either which rules out Canada and Australia.

I hate to break it to you, but it's not hard at all. It costs about $20k US, depending on which country you're coming from. And yes, it can take some time (that's just how our government rolls), but as far as actual investment of a persons time? An hour to consult with the attorney, an hour to consult with the "consultants", and maybe an hour to talk to someone in the government if need be? Almost all of this done over Zoom.
Basically, you pay the consultant, he fabricates a resume for you, the lawyer does the paperwork and submits it all, and you get your visa.
I've personally witnessed at least 200-300 cases get processed like that from inside a law firm that did some immigration work as a side hustle.

The e-5 visa (investment visa) is another huge scam. It's favored by the Chinese. Here's how it works: they get 50 people together to "pool their money" (ahem, CCP money) to invest in a new condo building in Queens. They claim it will create "x" number of jobs, and they use Obama math on that. They build a shitty Chineseium building and sell the units to unsuspecting retards and recoup their "investment".
The 50 people get their visas, the company that built the shitty building shuts down, the retards that bought the units sue everyone in sight, and then they move on to the next building.
Then those 50 people have kids here, get family visas for their spouses, etc. etc.

Probably enough to retire on, if you live somewhere relatively inexpensive. But yeah its not like it used to be. According to World Population Review
The average household in the United States spends $61,334 a year on expenses. On average, 34.9% of spending, or roughly $1,784 a month, is dedicated to housing and housing-related costs. The median price of a single-family home in the United States is $273,992. Nationwide, the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment runs $1,154 a month.
You can probably get away with less than that, because people tend to spend too much on crap they don't need like 6 streaming services, etc. But surely not much less than 40 grand a year on average.

If you mean Harry, he and William have more or less become enemies over Harry and Meghan using their royal status to put out harmful lies about the Royal Family in print and interviews. Meghan because of her poisonous grifting personality has no popularity among the ruling set in England so a return to there would probably never be in her cards.
Harry basically repeated the Edward VIII story of his great uncle. Including being dominated by his gold digging spouse. And they were more or less treated as unpleasant creeps and Edward, in his abortive and useless attempt to regain the throne when his brother died poisoned any chance that Elizabeth would forgive and forget.

There's probably a better psychological term for it but basically, when people have invested a great deal of time and energy into a thing, like a football program or a mideval history group, and that thing is threatened by scandal, they will go to great lengths to defend it, even breaking character. And that's what makes so soul crushing - you go to the people you trust and respect and they turn on you Be aware of it so you're not crippled by it.

Trump Unveils His "Secret Weapon" to Bring Racist Universities in Line
Deep State Media organization NPR:What a weird way to say "he's fighting blatant racial (and political) discrimination in taxpayer-funded schools."
President Trump on Wednesday signed a list of executive actions aimed at both higher education and K-12 schools. One of the actions takes aim at college and university accreditors, organizations the White House says have "abused their authority by imposing discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-based standards." Another promises new discipline guidance for K-12 schools, with the goal of "ensuring school discipline policies are based on objective behavior, not DEI," the White House said in a statement. "Today's Executive Orders pave the way for critical innovations -- inviting more competition in the higher education accreditation system, ensuring transparency in college finances, supporting new technologies in the classroom, and more," Education Secretary Linda McMahon wrote on social media.
Sponsor Message The collection of orders aim to cement Trump's conservative agenda when it comes to education in America, including rolling back the policies from the Biden administration, bolstering workforce training, improving teaching about artificial intelligence in schools, and launching a new White House initiative on historically Black colleges and universities.
The order pertaining to college accreditation directs McMahon to "overhaul" the system. Accreditation is the process colleges are required to go through to receive federal financial aid, aimed at ensuring that a program meets an acceptable level of quality. Trump referred to accreditation on the campaign trail as his "secret weapon" in his efforts to combat what he considers ideological bias in higher education. The executive action aims to use the process as a way to hold colleges accountable for "ideological overreach" and to increase "intellectual diversity" on campus. The action directs the education secretary to recognize new accreditors in an effort to encourage more competition. Trump has previously modified the accreditation system: During his first administration, he removed restrictions that forced schools to use accreditors based on their geographic region. "Trump's goal is to manipulate accreditors in order to force colleges and universities to do his bidding and punish them when they resist," said Todd Wolfson, president of the American Association of University Professors in a statement. "He is weaponizing the accreditation process to gain the leverage he seeks."
Another executive action warns that federal grants for universities could be revoked if schools do not complete "full and timely disclosure of foreign funding." In a briefing announcing the order, White House staff secretary Will Scharf said, "We believe that certain universities, including, for example, Harvard, have routinely violated this law, and this law has not been effectively enforced." Federal law already requires schools to disclose gifts or contracts worth $250,000 or more from foreign entities. In a statement, a Harvard spokesperson said the school had, for decades, been in compliance with the law. On Truth Social on Thursday, Trump dug in on Harvard again calling the university "a Liberal mess" and "a threat to Democracy."He also is revoking Obama's and Biden's executive orders which demanded that schools not punish black kids, and/or severely punish white kids to make up for the fact that so many black kids violate school rules.
LOL. Princeton University's President defiantly continues racist policies which other Princeton professors admit deliberately disfavor whites, Jews, and males of all races.
In an executive action aimed at K-12 schools, Trump requested new federal guidance on school discipline. The measure calls for revoking previous policies by Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama aimed at reducing racial disparities in, for example, suspensions and expulsions. The new guidance would prohibit using "racially preferential discipline practices." "Trump's order empowers local school boards by encouraging real discipline," said Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Moms for Liberty and a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. "By ending federal overreach, it frees educators to focus on teaching, not chaos, ensuring kids get a quality education." But some civil rights activists disagree. "These executive orders are another move to dismantle civil rights protections," said Judith Browne Dianis, who runs the Advancement Project, a civil rights nonprofit. "The Administration wants to rebuild the school to prison pipeline but civil rights law is clear: schools cannot punish students more harshly because of race, color, national origin, sex, or disability."
Christopher F. Rufo and Ryan Thorpe report for City Journal:
Princeton also has an illegal policy to discriminate against white suppliers and vendors.
Amid the ongoing showdown between the Trump administration and the Ivy League, one university president has positioned himself as a leader of the academic resistance: Princeton's Christopher L. Eisgruber. Earlier this month, the Trump administration suspended hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded grants to Princeton as part of its investigation into racial discrimination and anti-Semitism at the New Jersey campus. Eisgruber, though, was defiant, telling the New York Times that he's "not considering any concessions" and calling for other university presidents to follow his lead. This isn't Eisgruber's first bid for the spotlight. After the death of George Floyd in 2020, he declared that Princeton--where he has served as president since 2013--was guilty of "systemic racism." In a letter to students that September, he went so far as to claim that racism was embedded in the very "structures of the university itself." Eisgruber was right to say that he presides over a system of racial discrimination--but not in the way he imagines. The university does not discriminate against "oppressed" groups, such as blacks and Latinos, but against those seen as "oppressors." "At Princeton, it's totally common knowledge that there are favored groups and disfavored groups," one professor said. "And the disfavored groups are whites, Jews, males," and others commonly disliked by the Left. A City Journal investigation confirms that Princeton has, in fact, entrenched a system of racial discrimination and segregation. We have obtained more than a dozen internal documents and conducted interviews with a half-dozen employees, who confirm that the university has flagrantly violated the principles of the Civil Rights Act in the name of "social justice." The basic structure of this system is the university's "diversity, equity, and inclusion" bureaucracy, which has expanded dramatically under Eisgruber's tenure. An infographic circulated by Princeton shows at least 40 academic and administrative departments with established DEI committees, with the express purpose of adjusting the campus's racial composition. As Princeton's first annual diversity report noted, "Every administrative and academic leader is being held accountable for demographic evolution." According to several Princeton faculty members, "demographic evolution" is a euphemism for racial quotas and outright discrimination in academic hiring. A 2021 internal report outlining best practices for faculty recruitment described how staff were trained to "increase the diversity of the applicants at every step in the process." The report advised search committees to discount negative references for minority candidates and to ensure that every shortlist included at least "two women and/or two underrepresented minority candidates." The implicit message from Eisgruber and the administration: don't hire white men unless absolutely necessary. According to one professor, who requested anonymity for fear of reprisal, this meant abandoning merit-based hiring in favor of race-based preferences--the only way, given the current pipeline, to accomplish Eisgruber's stated goal of increasing "by 50 percent the number of tenured or tenure-track faculty members from underrepresented groups over the next five years." Though many of these policies relied on euphemism, some were openly and explicitly discriminatory. The university's Target of Opportunity Program, which was cancelled shortly before the 2024 presidential election, made funding available for departments to hire "candidates from groups that are underrepresented on campus." According to conversations with Princeton professors, this referred primarily to racial minorities and women. The program covered half of each hire's salary, allowing departments to bring on new faculty without bearing the full financial burden. In effect, the administration created financial incentives to prioritize hiring racial minorities.
One hundred Yale professors signed a statement recommending that the school freeze all new hiring and conduct an investigation into its own hiring practices. This, they hope, will forestall a federal investigation. The statement points out that faculty hiring has "stagnated" while "administrative" staff -- mostly in DEI make-work "jobs" -- has grown by double.
...
The reality is that Princeton has violated the principles of the Civil Rights Act. It may have gone further: in Morenoff's estimation, its contracting policy likely ran afoul of New Jersey civil rights law ("among the strongest, most sweeping non-discrimination statutes in the nation") and the Civil Rights Act of 1866. And its hiring preferences may have violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits racial discrimination in hiring unless the employer can fit one of a few narrow exceptions--which, Morenoff said, there is "good reason to doubt." While Eisgruber has remained publicly defiant toward the Trump administration, he seems to recognize his vulnerability. The university has been quietly scrubbing its website of DEI materials and recently updated its page to include a statement on Princeton's ostensible commitment to "equal opportunity and non-discrimination."
This is fascinating. More than 100 Yale professors have called for an audit of the university's sprawling bureaucracy.

The audit, they say, would "preempt potential federal intervention" and send the message: "Yale prioritizes intellectual vitality over bureaucratic inertia." pic.twitter.com/C37Fjk6FuE

Odds are yes to at least trimming the huge administrative staff overload. Ratio of staff/admin to professors is now something like 3 tenured faculty to one administrator. At Ivies, it is more like 1.5 or so admin to tenured faculty.
Used to be, administrators like Deans, etc. would do their stint and then return to their jobs as regular faculty. Instead, now, we have national searches for administrators that have no idea about the place they landed but are eager to rise up to the next position either at the current university or up the food chain.
That is where you get lame brained initiatives from admin that bulk up costs, do nothing, and consume useful faculty time for teaching or even the increasingly worthless research required to keep your position.
Admin simply have MOAR as their standard for promotion--more money, more spending, more staff.

GOP officeholders come from the insulated class (see Codevilla's The Ruling Class versus the Country Class). Back when I studied regime longevity, there was a theoretical construct, I think the author was Eric A. Nordlinger but it has been years, posited that regimes get away with more shit with more insulation from the consequences of bad decisions.
From memory, he used the concepts of insulation, malleability, and resistance to determine regime longevity. Insulation from the people for ruling class is key because it protects them from removal and punishment for bad decisions.

If "underrepresented minority" is their criteria for who gets preferential treatment now, then that necessarily must mean that WHITE MEN should get preferential treatment, since after 50 years of racist "affirmative action" policies, they are the ones underrepreented as compared to how many would have been hired if everything was merit-based.
So yeah, let's bring it on. "Underrepresented." You got it.

Reform is going to have to occur at the state level. Federales only account for about 10 percent or so of school funding and even that will decline if Trump wins his budget fights.
Constitutionally, education falls under the police powers reserved to the states under the 10th. As long as they do not discriminate (which the federales can punish), then fed power is limited to carrot and stick in certain areas like disabled or Title I students. Plus school lunch money.

>>Yale has five times as many administrators....
>>It's an absurdity--but one that, ironically, gives us an edge.
This is nuts. So it is an advantage to be so wasteful that they have lots of room to improve? Is this how they teach their kids? I can imagine "You got an F, but that gives you an advantage because you have so much to improve"!
This is 3rd rate high school logic. Yale.

Observational equivalence problems. Those that get passed through do benefit. Those that try and fail don't.
Closest example is by a UCLA law prof back in the day that did a rigorous study of affirmative action and law students. He found that attrition in mismatches between admits from aa to a highly ranked school that had below median scores and grades were more likely to drop out and not complete than if they attended a law school where their scores and grades were in the median (50 percent above and below).
The ones that survive the process benefit but the only way to raise the whole disadvantaged group up would be to water down standards.

I read it as the standard pissing contest between administration and faculty.
Faculty mostly complained about lack of salary increases and they see that big pot of money going to administrators.
This has nothing to do with DEI, or waste, it is them wanting the power. They want faculty back on top of the pay scale heap. Everything else is a bullshit diversion.

There is actually an opportunity, if played right, to cause massive conflict in education over money between the line workers and the administrators.
Administrators in schools whether universities or K12 are increasingly divorced from any reality of classroom teachers. Yet, they get paid more and more while teacher salaries (and that of professors) have stagnated since the 70's in real terms) in most states.
If these were publicly traded corporations, they would have been gutted of administrator bloat years ago but with them controlling the budgets, they push the cuts inevitably downwards onto the professors or teachers leaving themselves unscathed. Lot of buried anger and hatred there to be exploited by the right politicians.

They benefit in salary, but a lot of that is DEI and affirmative action hiring.
When most people see a minority candidate from any school, including UCLA or Harvard, they wonder if they are competent.
This applies to all professions and anyone in business understands this. Black Harvard Doctor? I'll pass. Lawyer, accountant? Pass.
You never know if any minority is qualified because so many incompetents were helped along. This is a shame and a tragedy. This harms the qualified minorities the most -- their unqualified brethren get good paying jobs to make the annual report photos look diverse, but everyone considers them suspect.
Not-accidentally, it helps the white elite class the most.

Easy, School board members are part time, get goodies from trips, etc. and get their egos stroked by smart administrators. Most have no training in running a business (not a corporate drone here), accounting, finance, etc. Often, they are retired educators themselves. So poor oversight until something bad happens then a change at the top sweeps nothing below and the cycle continues.
The looting is far worse in the big city districts because a lot of money, declining student enrollment, and easy to hide looting the system when you have a disengaged electorate.
Colleges have something similar plus the idiocies of Big Sports attached to them. NIL is likely to end that as in order to pay money sport players vast sums, they will gut and cut every non revenue sport they can to try to make ends meet.

A lot of the answer depends on exactly what question you ask. I took the question to be whether it benefits disadvantaged minorities and yes it does as far as future earnings prospects. Sucks for the dropouts.
If you are discussing society wide, then probably not worth it from a cost benefit analysis given mismatch theory which is why Scotus finally acted in the Harvard and NC case to end it.
Much of it was created by Nixon and LBJ in part to prevent a return of the disastrous riots gutting a lot of American cities in the late 60's. So the idea was pay a Danegeld in order to prevent minority black leaders from going full on Commie insurgency.
Give them a stake in society sort of thing. But once you pay the Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane peaceably.

If "underrepresented minority" is their criteria for who gets preferential treatment now, then that necessarily must mean that WHITE MEN should get preferential treatment, since after 50 years of racist "affirmative action" policies, they are the ones underrepreented as compared to how many would have been hired if everything was merit-based.

Part of it is we have a weird connection since desegregation in that real estate prices are strongly correlated with the better schools. So leaving out those who have their kids in private schools, those parents in public schools pay outsized property tax amounts (due to property values) to get their kids in good schools. They rarely rock the boat. Plus most of those school elections and bond issues are held at inconvenient off cycle elections where you are lucky to get 10 percent of the registered voters to turn out. A large proportion of those voters are teachers, staff, and administrators or family members thereof.
So nothing changes until there is a scandal causing changes at the top with little change in administration.

Large enough school district, they don't give a shit about individual parents. Actual knowledge on the ground. And that is despite the fact that much of the time it was a happy hunting ground for the GOP and had schools rated at the top of the state pecking order in academics for public schools.
Parents can and do help control smaller districts and I have seen mixed results in medium sized from my observed experience.
But, where I live has a lot of corporate transients that come to a place, live a few years, watch their property values increase and then they are gone to another suburbia school district. Transients rarely get involved in school district politics because a) no time to do it due to transit and business demands, and b) they figure they will move on in a few years to somewhere else.
See the same dynamic in local politics as well which has a negative effect on corralling county and city commissions as well.

It is actually clever, the administration largely ignores the faculty senate until they throw a temper tantrum, then they get talked down by some senior member aka provost, VP etc.
Administration also uses the Faculty Senate to address trial balloons for new policies and such which results in make work for everyone--surveys, focus groups, time in dept. meetings to go over line by line some statement or new policy.
I stayed out of that Faculty Senate gig preferring to work with student groups over a talk fest with no power. Bad enough to serve on tenure and promotions committee or hiring committees which I did frequently.

I was friends with Vietnamese girl who was a Berkeley double major who fully supported affirmative action. She argued that without it, the school would be all Asian. (liker her!)

Grievances rarely get resolved especially when you keep poking at the wound--see Euroland for example. But, one of the major factors hurting the black community is family breakdown. Blacks, before desegregation had about the same level of marriage and marriage length by statistics.
The center of the black community was black owned businessmen, lawyers, doctors, teachers, and civil servant workers like postmen. So they were the standard to be measured by in that community and the youths in that community had to play by the rules by and large.
No marriage with kids is a recipe for trouble with kids.

Constitutionally, education falls under the police powers reserved to the states under the 10th. As long as they do not discriminate (which the federales can punish), then fed power is limited to carrot and stick in certain areas like disabled or Title I students. Plus school lunch money.

One of the reasons that people like Franco or Pinochet end up becoming despots is because a) there is no one to succeed them and b) the left will never quit trying to kill, impoverish, or harass them in the future.

I'd love to have another Trump term after this but... I think the strain is finally catching up to him. His hair is turning white and he looks tired. He's still all there mentally but I don't think he's got enough in the tank to do eight more years of this.
Gather a team of real ballbreakers, train up Vance to be a slightly less deal oriented and significantly more pissed off version of Trump, and fuck shit up.

Agreed, and this goes to the point I've been inarticulately trying to make for weeks -- our CIA / Pentagon (and the USSR, of course), created most of the horrible political situations in the 20th century.
Or at least had a very heavy hand in steering them.
Left wing governments had to crack down on dissidents because the CIA was creating, bribing, and arming those dissidents.
"Right wing governments" sometimes got CIA help, sometimes got USSR help, sometimes had both countries funding their preferred candidate. (right wing of course being the broad "anything the left doesnt like at the moment" term, not how we use it in the US political system).
This instability and assassinations and bribery and tomfoolery obviously led to a lot of bloodshed all over the world.

Low production of cortisol is Addison's. Addison's is what JFK had that nearly killed him before he was prezzie and also is easier to treat nowadays.
Cushings results in too much cortisol provoking overeating, being thirsty, hypertension, and various other bad things for your system.

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

Speaking of Pinochet: One thing that annoys me about the commies and authoritarians like Pinochet is that he was actually a lot more benign than his rep. Sure, he killed about 3-10k commies, but almost every one of them was during the coup that brought him to power or in the immediate aftermath.
For commie totalitarians, 10k dead in a moderately sized country like Chile is a slow weekend.
On the other hand, Pinochet had great military tailors and his helicopter tours showed that he had a sense of humor.

We had to learn about it the hard way. As our dog's case (caused by an inoperable pituitary gland tumor) progressed. At first, diet, melatonin, and lignans from flaxseed oil helped. Then we had to get more drastic giving lysodren that actually attacks and destroys the outer layers of the adrenal gland itself. Constant blood testing was necessary to monitor as too much lysodren dosage kills the adrenal gland pushing the dog into Addison's. Old timey vets used to use lysodren to kill the adrenal gland because it was easier to treat by daily medicine for Addison's at the time than Cushings.

Then upon taking the oath of office Vance would immediately resign and Trump would immediately take the oath and become president.
First, that will never fly,
Two, what if Vance went along with it all and when the moment came he says “You know what? Nah. I changed my mind. Call me Mr. President, please, Donald.”
Trump is having fun with this.

More grift in running for prezzie and a good chance that Buttplug might be named as VP. Senate bid was probably looking iffy as carpetbaggers have a harder time winning a Senate seat than a House one. Too many pols in MI in front of Buttplug to withdraw for the newcomer.
If a closet pedo like Walz could be the VP nominee, then certainly an open Buttplug can charm America by lefty thinking.

Social security, medicare / medicaid / VA hospitals, DoD and State.

I think that what bothers them deep down is that they know if Trump were to actually kick in the door of this rotten structure and send it tumbling down, few people would care.
All his voters and most of theirs know this corrupt government and its cheesy republican trappings is nothing but a big ass scam.
Somebody is eventually going to say "no more, this ends with me." And it won't be Trump, but it will be soon, and this is a moment when the Party are wrong footed.

Delicately. But, I think it more likely that Casey doesn't run because even DeSantis is losing his mojo in his seventh year as governor with the state legislature. De Santis has quashed the rebellion over cheap labor Republicans there but it is still an issue.
It is possible that you get a Vance-DeSantis ticket though or less likely the reverse order in 2028.
Open presidential contests get more contenders than when you have an incumbent or a quasi incumbent like Killary.

That was the first time I'd ever laughed at something a politician said. Something about the honesty of it, mixed with humor, in the VERY SERIOUS SETTING that is SUPER SERIOUS GUYS where people usually just talk bullshit and repeat the same talking points for an hour or two just...

If you count city, state, and federal, I think it would be correct. Cumulatively, state and local have actually been piling on the fat even more than fedgov has in new employees, pensions, etc.
From Grok,
"State and local government spending on various categories has shown significant growth over the years. For instance, public welfare spending, largely driven by Medicaid, grew by 485% between 1977 and 2021.
The federal share of Medicaid spending also increased from 55% to 69% during this period. Health and hospital spending grew by 266%, while elementary and secondary education spending increased by 136%.
Higher education spending grew by 168%, though the increasing share of tuition payments as a funding source complicates this figure. Police spending grew by 189%, and both corrections and housing spending saw significant increases of 346% and 329%, respectively, although they remained a relatively small share of overall spending"

I'm a DeSantis guy, but I have to admit that Vance has more charisma. Therefore, I could live with a Vance/DeSantis ticket. Vance is still young, and relatively inexperienced, so DeSantis can be the calm and wise man behind the throne. It would be a real powerhouse of an administration.

From Grok. My guess is adjusted for inflation but AI doesn't always tell its secrets.
Calculations using GDP are a bit easier and GDP combined of state, local, and federal spending is about 36-37 percent of the total gdp when you disentangle transfer payments between governments.

FBI Director Kash Patel Announces Arrest of Milwaukee Judge for Obstructing an ICE Raid
I'm not sure why he deleted the post. I guess so as not to comment on an active case. The tweet was screencapped before it was deleted:
Federal agents arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan on Friday morning for allegedly obstructing an ICE operation involving an illegal immigrant. ... Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested Friday morning on charges tied to obstruction of a federal immigration operation, according to statements initially shared by FBI Director Kash Patel. In a since-deleted post, Patel accused Dugan of "intentionally misdirecting" federal agents who were attempting to arrest an undocumented individual, identified as Eduardo Flores Ruiz. The arrest took place at approximately 8 a.m. inside the Milwaukee County Courthouse. Brady McCarron, a spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service in Washington, D.C., confirmed the arrest to The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and noted that Dugan is currently in federal custody. The Journal Sentinel had previously reported that the FBI was investigating whether Dugan interfered with federal agents during an immigration arrest attempt last week. According to their report, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrived at the courthouse on April 18th to execute an arrest warrant on Flores Ruiz, who was scheduled to appear in Dugan's courtroom. ... Patel also confirmed that Flores Ruiz is now in the custody of federal authorities. While the FBI has not yet issued an official public statement, Patel's remarks suggest the agency believes Dugan's actions directly enabled Ruiz to avoid apprehension during the initial attempt.
🚨FBI Director Kash Patel just announced that the FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an illegal arrest operation last week. FAFO! The activist judges must be stopped.#FridayVibes pic.twitter.com/8dB8JyjigV

Let's see, that would make the courthouse the safest place to hide from the police in Milwaukee County. Sounds about right for some of these nuts.

Trump needs to force them to post bond for all the money they think they'll get. No doubt a judge will rule that they don't have to.
All you haters should look on the bright side. By the time that Trump's four years are through, the federal judiciary will have thrown out 98% of the US Code.

BREAKING: The constitutional crisis has arrived. We knew it was coming, just not when.
Busting into a courthouse where a judge is presiding and then arresting her because they "believe" she tipped off a suspect? This is outrageous. It's fascist, Nazi totalitarianism by the book.
Maybe states need to start mobilizing their militias to deal with this? What happened to the "jack booted thugs" that the phony right was always screeching about? I guess who is wearing the jackboots is all that matters to them.
They can arrest a judge they disagree with, but not a president who defies court orders? Trump should be hauled off in handcuffs and thrown in prison.

AFAIK, only Cali has actually passed laws to aid illegals... which is a federal crime.
Everyone else just has laws saying that they don't care and won't assist the feds. Interestingly, the court rulings which permit them to not assist the feds permit that because they're not being paid to assist the feds. The fact that this was the justification is damaged by the requirement that the feds pay them even though they're doing that. Seems like it should be either/or.
Likely that's what we'll end up with in a year or so after the courts have drug things out as long as possible.

Everyone else just has laws saying that they don't care and won't assist the feds. Interestingly, the court rulings which permit them to not assist the feds permit that because they're not being paid to assist the feds. The fact that this was the justification is damaged by the requirement that the feds pay them even though they're doing that. Seems like it should be either/or.
Likely that's what we'll end up with in a year or so after the courts have drug things out as long as possible.

Interesting, wasn't aware of that. Trump then should mandate a payment of $1 per annum to ALL sanctuary city and state LEOs and other official offices -- thus satisfying the payment requirement.

Do you remember Merrick Garland? Of course you do... he's the comparison you like to throw around. Do you remember everything he accomplished as AG... how he accomplished all of that despite all the straight shooting, ham and eggers at the DOJ... despite the eternal vigilance of the ever faithful Congressional Republicans... despite the steely determination of the federal judiciary to ensure that everything is exactly as it should be?
Now, who the fuck can our people trust? Who can they even assign to investigate things? When they act, how do they prevent the judges from stepping in? If they sweep past the judges, how do the stop the impeachment?
You want Trump to be a dictator but he won't be in office forever. It's March 1942. We've a long way to go. There will be setbacks. Whining accomplishes nothing.

I started dedicating myself to getting healthy (body, mind, emotions) on August 12, the first day of the school year.
I've lost 75 pounds and, thanks to Pure Barre, developed muscle tone and definition and greater strength, flexibility, and balance. Vigorous walking (30 minutes 5 times a week) has also helped my stamina.
It's never too late to choose health. It can be challenging to break bad habits and build new ones, but feeling (and looking) truly well is worth it.

The Dims were the minority party in the House, but they set up a mock "hearing" with only Dim members. The subject was wahmyn's health or some such nonsense. Fluke testified that having to pay for her birth control herself to the tune of about $25 per month was a gross injustice against wahmyns. After Rush mocked her, Dim midwits considered her a heroic fighter for their cause.
Note that Dims are gearing up to run similar "hearings" now against Orange Man Bad for whatever suits their fancy.

THE MORNING RANT: Periodic Roundup of the EV Follies – 4/25/2025
The issue came to light in October 2024 following two collisions involving Blue Bird Vision electric buses. Investigations revealed that a high-voltage system shutdown disabled the primary brake assist, and the secondary brake assist system was inoperative due to a blown fuse in one vehicle and a disconnected wiring harness in another. The lack of diagnostic warnings for these failure modes left drivers unaware of the compromised braking system, contributing to the crashes.As much fun as I have mocking those people and institutions who believed the EV hype and have taken a financial hit for their foolishness, it is deeply disturbing that children are still being subject to the consequences of this awful episode. Every electric school bus is now a sunk cost that cannot be salvaged. It’s time to permanently shut down the EV school bus experiment and get the kids back on safe, reliable, petroleum-powered buses.
Volvo is recalling thousands of plug-in hybrids in the United States as they could short circuit when parked and fully charged. This poses a serious fire risk and it could occur at night, when the vehicle is parked in your garage. That’s a scary thought and owners are being advised not to charge their vehicles until the recall has been addressed. Delving deeper into the matter, Volvo identified a “production deviation with the battery module” that could potentially lead to a thermal runaway event.There is this one amazing trick that can ensure a car owner that he will never experience a thermal runaway event with his vehicle. Can you guess what it is?
As lithium ion battery use surges with the growth in the electric vehicle market, a new multi-chemistry battery recycling facility has been opened in Kilwinning near Glasgow. The site will play an important part in Fenix Battery Recycling’s plans to develop facilities to offer on-site recycling for multiple battery types, with this site specialising in recycling Electric Vehicle Batteries.That 2021 article went on to state that this EV recycling plant was the result of “significant grant funding to develop an innovative technology to make lithium ion battery recycling cleaner and more sustainable.” Comrade Arthur originally sent this story to me, and I took the occasion to seek clarity as to whether burning a city down with exploding EV batteries is the “clean” part of green energy or the “renewable” part.
Are exploding lithium battery facilities the “clean” part of green energy or the “renewable” part?
— Buck Throckmorton (@BuckThrockmort) April 12, 2025
Today’s header photo is also a picture of the “recycling” operation at the EV recycling plant in Kilwinning.
Let me set the scene for you. You buy a brand-new Hyundai Ioniq 5. You love the futuristic design, the spaceship dashboard, and the whisper-quiet ride. You’re sitting at just over 3,000 miles—barely out of the honeymoon phase. You park it in your garage, battery sitting at 78%, and go away for ten days. You come back expecting to drive off into the sunset. Instead, what greets you is a total system shutdown. The car is completely dead. Not low battery - dead. You have to use a manual key to get in, and then jump-start a brand-new 12V battery just to bring it back to life. That’s exactly what happened to James Heckathorne, who shared his experience in The Ioniq Guy Facebook group - an increasingly essential place for Ioniq owners to make sense of their EVs beyond the sales brochures and glossy commercials.There is some interesting discussion in this piece about the electrical and mechanical reasons why this problem occurs in EVs, but the fact that parking your EV for 10 days may turn it into a brick is yet another unnecessary hassle involved in driving an EV instead of a reliable ICE car.
General Motors is cutting production of its all-electric BrightDrop delivery vans at a plant in Canada and will idle the facility through much of 2025, the company confirmed Friday.If GM is idling the plant for most of the next eight months, there must be a serious glut of unsold BrightDrops.
The Detroit automaker said the decisions are not related to President Donald Trump’s tariffs. “This adjustment is directly related to responding to market demand and re-balancing inventory,” GM said in an emailed statement.According to this USA Today piece, GM produced 3,500 BrightDrops in 2024, which is about 2,000 more units than it actually sold. This means GM has more than a year’s supply of its unwanted electric delivery vans to unload! General Motors’ CEO Mary Barra was extremely obedient to her handlers in the Obama/Biden administrations, consistently implementing the destructive EV-agenda they demanded. Now it’s time for her to learn that Biden and Obama are gone and aren’t coming back, and if she is going to avoid the ignominy of being the (insanely overpaid) executive who killed GM, she needs to quickly back away from her all-EV pledge.
But [Volkswagen], like many others, miscalculated the speed with which American customers would adopt electric vehicles, betting they would go all-in on full battery electric cars, trucks, and SUVs with greater speed. But the forecasts were too ambitious, and the market is more interested in hybrids then pure EVs right now.No, Motor Trend, the issue is not “the speed” with which Americans are “adopting” EVs, it’s the passion with which we are rejecting them. We are not just rejecting electric vehicles ”right now.” We are emphatically rejecting EVs, period.
This means VW will have added electric motors to its top-selling models by volume in North America.Sure. And my gasoline-powered SUV also has a 12V battery, so I’m clearly interested in battery power when it comes to my car. I’ll keep saying it, hybrids are a bridge to EVs in the same way that eating shrimp is a bridge from beef to bug-eating. In other words, they’re not. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

There are few US large cities, if any, in the US that does not have dysfunctional and evil politics. Part of it is the interrelationship between property developers and corrupt politicians and bureaucracy.
The other part is the concentration of gimmedats and activists that preclude honest politics at the polls. The gimmedats' votes are bought or frauded into existence, and the activists ensure that any will of the people to change things, like arresting criminals, is smothered by threats and violence.

I was going to ask (and have done so here before) if Elon has ever been asked about Lithium Ion (I keep typing the portmanteau "Lithion") battery fires.
Then decided to not be lazy and do a quick search and learned something new (and have learned from commenters here previously about the relative safety of using products with Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries):

It would be pretty damned easy to rig an air compressor to supply "regenerative" braking to the bus. Let off the throttle, and a clutch would connect the compressor to the road wheels/driveline. You would also have an electric compressor, which would consume no more power than an A/C unit.

Attractive idea that has been implemented poorly and likely to stay that way in the short run.
Basically you get the worst of both worlds trying to bridge the EV and Gas powered worlds which makes the systems much more complex to run the damn things than either a straight EV or Gas.
Hybrids have a little of that in costing more to fix problems (Toyota by keeping their eyes on the hybrids by iterative improvement has less of that) but is a superior solution if you value mileage over all other concerns.
Propane or CNG cars require minor adjustments to IC engines and you lose a bit of power than gasoline but either one reduces emissions quite a bit if that is what you are aiming for. Great also for vehicles that you leave sitting for a long while and only need for short trips. Diesel, despite its bad reputation for particulate emissions, also excels at mileage and more importantly torque if that is what you need.

The latter hasn’t been true for years now, although the draw is usually slow. If your car can respond to a remote, has any sort of alarm system installed, or you’ve left any electronics plugged in, it will draw down the battery.
But barring a bad design on your lighter DC adapter or actually leaving devices turned on, it will take a long time. I’ve left my car undriven for nearly two months. It may take two or three turnovers to catch instead of catching immediately, but it always does start. Mind you, I do unplug the DC adaptor long-term.
In my opinion, modern ICE vehicles have far too many always-on electronics in them, they draw far too much power from the electrical system, and, worse, there really is no way to turn any nonessential systems off when the battery dies. That requires access to the computer, which needs power. We are far from being reasonably assured of getting home on the alternator when the battery dies. There’s a good chance that a bad battery will burn out the alternator very quickly.

Your not going to develope the pressure needed to stop a bus without some sort of boost so they have to run a hydraulic pump.

I’m the opposite. The whole point of having a hybrid or battery-powered car would be being able to safely plug it in and never have to worry about rushing to the gas station before a minor trip.
That will require completely new battery technology, however, and research in motor vehicle-level battery tech is dominated by government funding, which only funds old-and-busted tech.
Weirdly, this is also true of grid-level power storage, even though we already know how to safely store grid-level power. It isn’t new or impressive (well, it is impressive to me) but it works and is reliable both in use and waiting for use.

After hazardous materials were removed, a soil stabilizer was applied to prevent ash and debris from migrating off properties due to surface water run off or wind. Additionally, more than 30 tons of lithium batteries from 94 electric and hybrid vehicles and 274 power walls were safely collected from the impacted area and shipped off Maui for recycling.

Flashing lights in rear view mirror, that’s why.

Look for a big push to ammonia as the next 'clean' fuel boondogle.
A snippet, "Chemical companies smell an opportunity. Several firms are developing green ammonia, a route to ammonia in which hydrogen derived from water electrolysis powered by alternative energy replaces hydrocarbon-based hydrogen, making ammonia production virtually carbon dioxide–free. They are also investing in carbon capture and storage to minimize the carbon impact of making conventional ammonia, creating what the industry refers to as blue ammonia."

My BiL has a Honda Accord hybrid. It gets about 5 mpg more highway than my gas powered Kia sedan of the same size. Maybe a little better in the city. It cost about $8k more, but it is a slightly better car.

This is true of a lot of cars nowadays, even fully ICE vehicles. As far as I can tell, they literally just turn off the engine and then turn it on again when you hit the pedal.
Saves gas, but I don’t see how it can be good for the engine. I do a lot of walking when I travel, and I hear a lot of very new-looking vehicles with very ragged-sounding engine starts when the light turns green.

Diesels do not require additional electrical power to keep running but if you shut it off with a weak battery, it is chancy if you can get it restarted. Especially if the engine gets cold. Car diesels used to eat batteries in the winter all the time back in the eighties unless you plugged up the oil heater and kept them in a garage preferably.

DE propulsion has a lot of advantages for locomotives or ships where your power requirements are largely steady. Years ago I read a really interesting magazine article about a guy converting a trawler yacht from straight diesel to DE. Of course, his electric motors were not marine-rated so I expect that they'd corrode away into sludge within 2 years, but the process was interesting nonetheless.

There is no way to make EV's practical short of several paradigm shift's in battery and material technology.

Don’t know if you’re being understatedly sarcastic about “fender bender” but that’s another old-man-rants-at-clouds for me. There is so much crap on cars that even minor accidents can result in it being cheaper (and provide less exposure to liability—for a while it was difficult to get seat belts replaced, although that seems to have changed) to total the car than fix it.

But, why and how are my questions.
Orwell obviously understood it to some extent with Eastasia and Oceania, but the basic notion - we've always been at war with XXXXX - remained constant.

I own a plugin, so, bullshit.
When I bought it,I was saving about $20 a week, now that gas prices have fallen it's down to about $13. I'll break even in less than 7 years. That was just for local trips. I've also taken multiple 1000+ mie trips without ever desperately searching for an operational charger. Even more importantly, in a SHTF situation, I won't be searching for gas to get my wife or myself to medical care, because I'll be charging off my (boy am I stupid, according to Buck) 10kW solar.
I have a friend who owns an ionic who routinely parks it for a week or two and never saw that problem. The self discharge characteristic of lithium batteries are waaaaay below anything that would cause a 10 day discharge. Your 10 year smoke detector uses lithium for just that reason.

Fun fact I learned docenting at a local historic house: In the old days (early 19th century in this case), there were no left- or right-foot shoes. You just bought two shoes that were perfectly straight, and over time they would conform to the curve of the feet. Must've been painful until the shoes were broken in.

Just NOW, the FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction — after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week.
We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest.
Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on foot and he’s been in custody since, but the Judge’s obstruction created increased danger to the public.

I had a neighbor who was doing his best to get on disability, because he didn't want to continue to live in the city with all the blacks and browns (he said it a little different)
Back problems, he said. And yet from our vantage point we could see into his yard where he'd put up a heavy bag on the end of the jungle gym and he's out there punching and kicking away...
Got into a verbal tiff with next door neighbor and leapt the privacy fence like only a healthy young man can do.
Garbage human.
Apparently got his disability too, because he packed up the wife and kids to move "up north" with the good people.

Even if so, I bet that's still a drop in the bucket of the actual fraud, and the reason why there's been a constant push to make people angry at their neighbors and fellow Americans is to keep the attention off of the people doing the REAL fraud.

Witkoff is in the Russian capital for crunch talks on a potential ceasefire in Ukraine as Trump’s self-imposed deadline of ending the war within the first 100 days of his presidency nears."

That's why they established the useful scapegoat, and the scapegoat is especially useful since it's so against what everything America stands for.

Uh-oh, Deep State, I guess 'encrypted' doesn't mean what you thought it meant...
Posted by: t-bird
========
As Ben Franklin says, two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead. Basically encryption simply keeps the common riff raff criminals out of your comm loop if it matters. Not a match for the tricks of the Deep State aka Stinger inceptor towers, being able to implant malware on your phone or computer, or their computers. It is also probable that there are backdoors to anything other than open source code projects if not chips in the US itself.
My guess is Salt Typhoon, Chinese massive penetration of US telecoms among other industries, was aided by such baked in backdoors used by teh Feds to monitor the US population.

Putin hitting civilians in Kiev the other day merits equal condemnation if you are going to do scoring. Basically, there are no good guys to root for in such a place and we will actually be advantaged ourselves in the US from walking away from that mess. We spent far too much treasure, if not blood, in that morass to little effect other than enriching our Deep State and politicians.
In a match between autocrats, who cares who wins sort of like Hussein versus the Mullahs decades ago (Iran-Iraq war). We will have to deal with the consequences after whoever 'wins' (almost certainly to be Russia) in the future. That is particularly true if we stay in the decaying NATO alliance but we are better off casting them adrift as well. Let Euroland deal with Russia themselves. Rather have a Vlad protectorate than Muzzies running the place.

I’ve noticed the sexual harassment videos always have a mid woman that’s being harassed. Let’s make the video realistic people. Put an 8 or a 9 in the role. The 6 doesn’t have much to worry about.

Sadly, I think that's the truth. Oh and don't forget that the harasser is always a white man because no other ethnicity on Earth engages in such behavior.

To the left, the key metric is oppressed versus oppressor. The oppressed like Tish cannot do anything wrong. The oppressor like DJT cannot do anything right. All statements from leftists have expiration dates--always. Since Muzzies like taqiyya themselves, it is simply one more thing that leftists and Muzzies have in common just like oppressor-oppressed talk.
