Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - June 25, 2025 [TRex]![]() Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. This is the Wednesday night ONT. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Be nice to your fellow commenters.![]() The Dassault Cargo Falcon 20 is a French jet aircraft that, on April 17, 1973, became the first to carry a Federal Express air package. This was a new milestone in the history of air transport in the United States and created a new category of airline, the exclusive air express carrier. Within a decade, no less than thirty-three were flying on the spokes of the Federal Express network. The service was so successful that, by the early 1980s, its front-line aircraft were expanded to the McDonnell Douglas DC-10Cs, whose cargo holds were big enough to carry several Falcons each. NASM siteDid the FedEx concept come from a college paper that earned a "C" grade? Not really. In 1965, while he was earning a Bachelor's degree in economics at Yale University, Frederick Smith penned a term paper for Professor Challis A. Hall's Economics 43A class which contained an outline for a delivery service that would use a "hub and spokes" concept to handle the routing of parcels. (This plan entails first directing packages through a central sorting facility before dispatching them onwards to their intended destinations.) A number of sources assert the term paper earned a C from the instructor who marked it. However, while that aspect of the tale has been widely touted as fact, it does not appear to be verifiable. Smith himself fed the acceptance of this element of the story by once stating in an offhand comment about the term paper "I guess I got my usual gentlemanly C," but in a 2002 interview Smith acknowledged "I don't really remember what grade I got. I probably didn't get a very good one, though, because it wasn't a well-thought-out paper." (Questioning Professor Hall, the man who bestowed the grade, is out of the question because he died in 1968.) Snopes At age 29, Smith launched Federal Express with his own money. He first tested the initial 25-city network, flying empty boxes across the country, and then went live on April 17, 1973. To keep the network of cities growing, he raised $90 million in venture capital from investors like Allstate and Newport Securities. The company endured twenty-six months running at a loss before it broke even. Over the next couple of decades, Smith committed to ensuring detailed transport information such as estimated arrival times and prompt deliveries.

Old advice about planting--the idea was to avoid the sun if the temps were really high by planting after sundown. However, watering the new plants in after sundown contradicted the also old advice to not water plants at night.

Four Seasons, 276 from last night's ONT: Your grands ages 6, 4, and 2 are similar ages to my oldest three grandchildren (5, 3, and 1, with the oldest two yet to have birthdays this year). Are your grands siblings, cousins, both? My first, second, and fifth grands are the children of my oldest daughter, and the third and fourth are of my second daughter. "Ain't nothing better than those babies." Amen. I couldn't imagine before becoming a grandmother how fiercely I could love them.

I got interested in the history of Iran and the Shah and all that. Sordid business of CIA and MI6 meddling after WWII. Reza Shah, the last Shah's father took over after the coup of 1921. Before that, a lot of British and Soviet wrangling over Iranian territory after the Communists took over Russia. He was made Shah and it was a kinda sort of constitutional monarchy. Then came WWII, and Reza got sort of friendly with the Germans, hoping to play them against Brits and Russians to his benefit. Result was an invasion of Iran by Britain and Soviets in 1941, and he was taken out of power. After WWII, his son, the "Shah of Iran" we're familiar with, was made Shah. But he had limited power. They elected a prime minister who got all sort of uppity and nationalized the oil industry and got sort of communisty. CIA and MI6 engineered a coup against him, and put the Shah in absolute monarchy control. And thus it was until '79. The Shah got really tyrannical starting in the late '60s to early '70s, with the infamous SAVAK secret police. His role was to keep the communists at bay and police the Persian Gulf oil control. To do that, we let him be a brutal dictator. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at June 25, 2025 11:04 PM (w6EFb) 169

I am so sorry about your late daughter-in-law. How heartbreaking. But yes, what a blessing that you get to live nearby your grands!

Publius, the Brits got very interested in Iran because prior to WWI they had gotten entranced with the idea of running their navy on bunker oil instead of coal, and there were British companies prospecting and promising big strikes like in America. The Brits kept hold in that area because of the need for oil, and were not above kicking things down if it suited them.

Regarding FedEx: I was a hospice nurse for 9 years. The specialty pharmacy we used for most of our patients' medications moved its headquarters to Memphis to be at same location as major FedEx hub. There were only 2 times in 9 years that I can recall having to scramble last minute to get a patient's meds due to FedEx not coming thru as promised. (We also had contract with local retail pharmacy for urgent needs.)

Random TV Trivia: in its original run, The Jetsons only aired 24 episodes across a span of six months from 1962-1963. It was cancelled due to low ratings. Reruns got such high viewership over the years that in 1985, 51 more episodes were produced.

In 1963, the Shah launched the "White Revolution", which was intended to modernize and industrialize Iran, and take power away from what was essentially feudal landlords in the country. That pissed off the landlords and the Islamic nutjobs. Allowing women to vote and secularizing the local authority really pissed them off. Khomeini was the most vocal of the nutjobs, and that got him exiled (Shah should've take a more permanent "exile" to him....)

Use high protein bread flour, and let the yeast work the dough at least overnight or 24 hours. A “poolish” is another method to achieve the same thing.. Anyway aged dough is a lot more flavorful. Gives a really nice whang to bread or pizza.

What amazed us was how little interest the goons had in us. Program started with detente in '73, and we'd heard stories about the early years (like being at the embassy in Sofia or Baghdad back under the previous managements). But they properly assessed us as useless young idiots, and ignored us.
Some people took it a bit far, traveling internally outside their visa limits. They were scorched by the group leaders and the rest of us for endangering the whole show. We had a great train trip at the end, what we called the "anti-Soviet tour", since it went through the Baltics, then western Ukraine (Lvov, where the vibe was very distinctly tense).

"Best wishes to anyone in Los Angeles driving on the 405. Lane closures started last night for a road refresh."
For 5 years (2015 - 2020) the 405 in Orange County was being reconstructed. They dropped and rebuilt 16 bridges so they could widen the freeway to add two 'Fast Trak' lanes and one regular lane. The only real problem was the frequent lane re-striping made life a little sporty if you weren't paying attention when traffic was moving...... About 15 years ago they dropped the Mulholland bridge at the top of Sepulveda pass onto the 405 over a weekend. All the OC bridges were done at night on weekends with some closures during the weekend. Posted by: Anonymous Rogue in Kalifornistan (ARiK) at June 25, 2025 11:55 PM (QGaXH) 282

A key incident that led to the '79 Revolution was something called the Cinema Rex fire in August of '78. Some idiots locked the doors to a theater in Abadan, doused with gasoline and lit it off, killing over 400 people. It was Islamic nutjobs who started it (and they had done similar things before, protesting against Western decadence and women doing things), but the nutjobs claimed it was the Shah's SAVAK doing a false flag to justify a crackdown. Most of the people believed the false flag claim, and that tipped the balance in favor of the revolutionaries. Stupid, just stupid. And Jimmuh just fucked everything up.

Franpsycho I'm surprised there was even that much hassle by that year. One guy on the program who probably spoke 30 words of Russian brought almost literally nothing but trade goods - jeans, nylons, cosmetics, Beatles records. He sold it all to the first black market guy he came across (very risky, really), netted a fortune in rubles, and we rarely saw him at the cafeteria again. He always ate in Intourist hotel restaurants.
Funny guy. As we walked from our plane to the terminal at Sheremetyevo on arrival, some young uniformed (ill-fitting) KGB guys lined the painted lane for us to walk in. They didn't look happy. Terminal looked shabby even from the outside. This guy turns to me and in a classic line I'll never forget, says "we're afraid of THESE guys???".

We definitely were never followed, at least at night. We'd stay at Russian friends' places drinking until late - always making sure to get back before the bridges came up. Empty streets (except for the guys passed out on the sidewalk - not unusual), easy to tell if anyone's following you.
Only time I tested the limits, decided to try to get into the naval shipyard near our dorm using my student ID. Workers in line of course knew I was a furriner, guy at the booth shakes his head, smiled thinly, and gave me the thumb waving sign for "get outta here". I had to try.

1,200 sorties, 600 refuelings - apparently the official word on Israeli air ops during the late, hopefully only paused, unpleasantness.
Plausible. Of course there are things left out, and one hopes even those numbers are "approximate". There had to be search/rescue capability staged somewhere. My guesses are eastern Syria, Iraqi Kurdistan, outside chance of Azerbaijan. Ditto for the mumble mumble operations that today the IDF chief confirmed had taken place.

This I did not know: the Shah himself claimed that JFK wanted him out, at least at first, and that it was JFK's CIA that engineered or encouraged the Khomeini protests in '63. Khomeini denounced the Shah (and Israel) after the White Revolution reforms were enacted. They arrested him, and that sparked a big protest. They were leaning toward just executing him (which they should've done), but there were fears that would make him a bigger martyr and do more harm than good. So off to exile.

One thing I would really like to know the truth of, is how much footsie Jimmuh played with Khomeini. You know how much Jimmuh loved anti-American dictators and hated Israel and pro-American dictators. It is alleged the military was going to stage a coup there at the last to keep the "civilian reform" govt from taking over. Whether that would've kept the Shah in power, or something else, don't know. But Jimmuh stopped that. Supposedly Khomeini assured Jimmuh that American interests would be fine in Iran, don't you worry, I'm your friend. And Jimmuh believe him. I can believe that.

Now, for a prototypical example of the moderate, middle of the road squish type: Shapour Baktiar, who was the last prime minister of Iran before Khomeini took over. He was against the Shah, and very pro-human rights and democracy and all that good stuff. He was agin' communists and Islamists, but they needed their rights and all that. There at the last, the Shah appointed him Prime Minister. He was gonna set up a nice, democractic human rights government. He released all the political prisoners, abolished the SAVAK, brought Khomeini back to be nice and all that. He was then going to hold elections for an assembly to decide the govt of the Iran, new constitution and all that good stuff...

Now, Khomeini then denounced Bakhtiar as a traitor and loyalist to the Shah (no mind the Shah had arrested him many times before). Bakhtiar then had to flee to Paris. That's what being a middle of the road squish gets you.

AOC EXPOSED: “BRONX GIRL” IMAGE SHATTERED BY YEARBOOK PHOTO Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez keeps talking tough — recently tweeting at President Trump, “I’m a Bronx girl… we eat Queens boys for breakfast.” But now a New York Republican just DESTROYED that fake street cred with one yearbook photo. Assemblyman Matt Slater (R–Yorktown) clapped back with a high school yearbook photo of AOC from Yorktown High School — in Westchester County, one of the wealthiest suburbs in New York. His response? "If you’re a BX girl then why are you in my Yorktown yearbook? Give it up already.” Translation: AOC grew up in the suburbs, not the Bronx she claims to represent. Let’s be real — this is just another example of the Left crafting fake identities to score political points. AOC isn’t some tough Bronx chick — she’s a carefully packaged progressive product. Americans are waking up. The act is getting old. #FakeBronxGirl Posted by: rickb223 at June 25, 2025 07:27 PM (N28XY) 7

AOC was born and raised in the Bronx until she was 5, then her parents moved her to Yorktown for better schools and a better future.

Interesting takes on YT (even Cenk, a broken clock is right sometimes):
Mamdani's social media engagement is what got him the election. He was engaged on it and twisted it for his needs. Mamdani's rant against Cuomo in their debate got turned into a song that went viral. (Trump had this kind of social media momentum and it won him the election. Mamdani used it also. Republicans, take note: have a team, or organic young fans, savvy enough to do this for future elections?) Also, Cuomo's top donor admits he gave him $250K halfheartedly, only because he wanted an in if Cuomo won it. The old school pay-to-pay. He'll probably be backing Mamdami in the general.

On Tuesday, District Judge Tana Lin granted a partial injunction to the states which sued the Department of Transportation over blocking the funds, and said that the states would likely succeed in their suit alleging that these were withheld illegally.
In her ruling, Lin quoted from the TV show, writing: "In a 1995 episode of The Simpsons, Homer must cut short a tearful goodbye with his long-lost mother after her traveling companions protest that their 'electric van only has minutes of juice left!'" "Some 26 years later, Congress sought to address the phenomenon that has come to be known as 'range anxiety': the unease experienced by electric vehicle ("EV") drivers when they are unsure where the next charging station might be, and whether their car's battery has sufficient charge to get them there," she continued. - If Homer said it, that's just as strong as the constitution.

19 Just watched the first 15 minutes of Starship Troopers for the first time.
Worse than all the negative comments indicated I’ve read at aos. Posted by: polynikes at June 25, 2025 07:36 PM (VofaG) I saw part of "Starship Troopers" in the theatre! I took my God-daughter, her older sister and their two friends to the movies. I forgot what we saw, but I lost my car keys. I was taking care of that situation, the girls were going to see another movie. What four girls aged 7 to 9 wouldn't want to watch "Starship Troopers?" We didn't last long. I took them to see "Baby Geniuses." I watch a lot of kids crap that doesn't piss me off. Trust me. That very weekend, "Starship Troopers" was not THE movie that made adults want to blow their brains out. The kids had fun. I apologized. One of them. "What for? We're kids. You took us to 2 movies. Popcorn and stuff and supper." Yeah, but I sat through some of "Baby Geniuses" which had a sequel.

Government run shops in NYC.
The Soviets had a chain of shops in the same vein: Valuta, Beryozka or Beriozka. It was a class and caste trade system open to foreigners and high soviet officials; barring peasants.

Thoughtless people rescue a dangerous ice-bat.
This is correct on two levels. The first is obvious; it takes truly thought-less people to rescue such a polymorphically-perverse, not to mention morbidly mephitic, creature from a deserving leopard seal, who probably had babies to feed. Second is the dangerously disinformatic mis-labeling of ice-bat, a disservice to the many chiroptophiles who enthusiastically comment on this blog, a disservice undoubtedly driven by Big Penguin.

My dad told me to do that. I was big and strong but didn’t have great soccer skills because I was new to the sport. I tried to outplay much more experienced but smaller players. My dad saw that and said: ‘what the fuck are you doing? Youre dancing around like a faggot. You can’t out-play these kids. They’ve been playing since they could walk. You’ve been playing for 6 months. But youre much bigger and stronger. Use what you have. Youre not a soccer player. Youre a football player on the soccer field.

I played soccer and loved it. But I played it very physically, like football. My dad told me to do that. I was big and strong but didn’t have great soccer skills because I was new to the sport. I tried to outplay much more experienced but smaller players. My dad saw that and said: ‘what the fuck are you doing? Youre dancing around like a faggot. You can’t out-play these kids. They’ve been playing since they could walk. You’ve been playing for 6 months. But youre much bigger and stronger. Use what you have. Youre not a soccer player.

so I'm reading MJ Michaels' "The Trouble With Perfect Women". Recommended from r/romance_for_men because shut up.
This has the hero Jacen Ryker and his female sidekick-without-benefits Faye find a noneuclidean horror from beyond the stars... and then get caught up in a space battle over it, which the faction of Androsynths win. Except that these genetic clones - the Themmies, for Themyscira - are all female, and hot. Will our hero resist temptation? Will he break down and explain to Faye the secret of who ordered the mission? And what's in the box? Posted by: gKWVE at June 25, 2025 09:22 PM (gKWVE) 268

Time used to be an entirely local thing. You couldn't even communicate, much level travel, fast enough for it to make any difference at all. Local time was set by the sun. It was noon when the sun crossed the meridian. And that was that. Then came the telegraph and the railroads. There were accidents due to time synchronization errors. One particular one killed 14 people when one train just slammed into the back of another, each with their clocks set to different local times. The railroads realized it was imperative to synchronize their clocks. And thus "Railroad Time" was born, which became the standard time zone system. The power of the railroads back in the late 19th century was enough they were able to impose that on the country without federal legislation. The states pretty much did it themselves. It was only in the early 20th century that the feds just rubber stamped that into federal law. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at June 25, 2025 09:49 PM (w6EFb) 307

I watched a lot of Disney shows since they used to not piss me off. Young Caitlin Raegan joined Bizzardvark in season three. Young kid. Hilarious. She had the best lines. "No Amelia, you are getting the best care science can buy. Now here, hold these healing crystals and think of rainbows." I followed my favorites on Instagram. Nothing weird. They didn't piss me off and made me laugh. I need that. But Caitlin was about 11. Working out for gymnastics. On the bars or something. Poor girl fell. Broke both arms at the same time!

The higher the latitude, the worse the late sunrise effect is compounded by the too-far west time zones, like Michigan's panhandle being the worst, although Indiana is just as bad, just not as far north. It's not as bad in in the lower latitudes, but I was just looking. In Amarillo, latest sunrise will be 8:56AM on year round DST. I expect they will complain. In Dallas, it will be about 8:30AM or so.

I just noticed something. The tilt of the earth's axis is on a decreasing leg of the Milankovich cycle now, and is slowly decreasing. The result is there is about 3 seconds less daylight on the summer solstice for me here at ~35N now than when I was born in '67. It's about 11 seconds since 1776. So, I've been cheated out of 3 seconds. But, I get it back in winter. :-) Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at June 25, 2025 09:59 PM (w6EFb) 327

My sweet dog LOVES shaking his lamb chop toy, which he long ago got the squeaker out of. It's so cute to see him shake it, but I'm well aware it's an evolutionary move meant to snap the neck of his prey. But he's so adorable doing it! Posted by: LizLem at June 25, 2025 07:57 PM (Eng1Z) I got one of the really big lamb chop stuffies for my dog, who didnt quite know what to make of it. He put it on his bed for the night, slept as far away from it as possible, and in the morning, we found it sitting by the front door. He gave it one night, it was time to leave. He has 8 Go dog octopuses, and treasures each one. But no freaking lamb chops! Posted by: moki at June 25, 2025 10:02 PM (wLjpr) 333

Robert. You and I have been hanging around this site for decades now. Your mom is in that place you believe in and in that belief, I hope you find comfort that her pain of living with pain is no more. I will say a prayer for her tonight that she is in that peace, and a prayer for you that you will not suffer grief for too long. Still, as always, nice to see you Robert. Posted by: Nightwatch at June 25, 2025 10:07 PM (25kuG) 335
Robert,
My condolences. My Mom passing away was just about the most singular event of my life besides my son being born. It's sadly a very different world I live in now. I hope you can adjust with grace. I do get to visit with her in my dreams every once in a while which is something I didn't expect.

Shares of firms with exposure to New York City's real-estate market were hammered Wednesday as investors panicked over the growing prospect of rent-freeze advocate Zohran Mamdani winning City Hall. Vornado Realty Trust and SL Green, two of the Big Apple's largest developers, each plunged more than 5%. Other real estate investment trusts (REITs) with heavy ties to the city also suffered. Equity Residential and Empire State Realty Trust fell 3% and 4%, respectively. LXP Industrial Trust was down 2.5%. Investors also sold off shares in New York banks with major real estate portfolios. Flagstar Financial and Dime Community Bank fell 5% and 4%, respectively, while Flushing Financial slipped 3%. ![]() Lawrence H. SummersSo you acknowledge he's a terrorist, but you're only asking that he offer some obviously-insincere pablum about not wanting to bring the intifada to NYC and then you're okay with him? Palestinian-American Chuck Schumer is endorsing Mamdani: Chuck Schumer Lou Perez Riley Gaines Dustin GrageJasmine Ratchet believes she's the one the Constitution empowered to make decisions about war and peace. I have never heard so eloquent an argument for unlimited executive power.

Random observation served up as a fact:
If you get in the habit of breaking out the chapstick/lip balm several times a day, it only gets worse over time and your own lips stop generating moisture. My dad and sister are now both to the point of reaching for it a couple of times every hour. When you point it out to them they are to the point of not even realizing that its not really a normal human body requirement (to have lip balm) but that its *become* one because their own lips gave up.

We're seven months in. Average time from indictment to trial in a federal criminal case probably varies between a year to a year and a half. Unless we're planning on being in power forever, time really is of the essence in federal prosecutions that have any political sensitivity.

Shares of firms with exposure to New York City's real-estate market were hammered Wednesday as investors panicked over the growing prospect of rent-freeze advocate Zohran Mamdani winning City Hall.
Vornado Realty Trust and SL Green, two of the Big Apple's largest developers, each plunged more than 5%. Other real estate investment trusts (REITs) with heavy ties to the city also suffered. Equity Residential and Empire State Realty Trust fell 3% and 4%, respectively. LXP Industrial Trust was down 2.5%. You know what? Good. Fuck 'em.

So…. All the Baldwin brothers are dickheads then? I thought one of them was sane. Not Billy obviously…. I like college wrestling. One of the Baldwin brothers is really into it and will occasionally appear on broadcasts…. I forgot but hope it’s not Billy. Wrestling (college and Olympic freestyle) is very much a conservative ecosystem

Noting that things are in fact time sensitive, and that the administration could be a more proactive in terms of judicial nominations is being black pilled?
Posted by: bear with asymmetrical balls at June 25, 2025 07:04 PM (y+qgR) --- I mean, given all that's happened, I have no complaints. Trump racks up wins, and one can enjoy them and savor them, or wring one's hands about things that haven't happened according to your imaginary timeline. Maybe they don't happen. Oh well, Can't win them all. But Trump has got a million illegals to leave on their own, is tying Dem judges in knots, has the Deep State in meltdown mode, just neutered the Mad Mullahs, has purged our military of weirdos, restored the base names, completely shut down Big Pharma which trembles in fear. The victories are becoming to many to easily count. RFK is tearing stuff UP. His work alone is worth the administration. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

What the heck is moral energy?
They got to use two positive words in a sentence. Trigger Language has nothing to do with communicating with syntax, words and grammar that have definition and coherence in communicating ideas. Its about saying magic words like "Empowered", "Constitutional", "Sustainable", "Moral", "Energy" and "Courage" They have zero idea what those words mean or how to apply them properly in a sentence, they just know that it triggers certain emotions, and that is all that matters.

Ana is saying on YT that Mamdani got less than 50%, so that triggers the ranked choice votes, which will take place next week. But he'll probably still squeak it out.
Cenk's initial take was "down goes Cuomo!" It's so rare that we agree on anything. Cuomo won the Bronx, AOC hardest hit.

I don't even understand the point the press is making over the Iran strikes.
Trump managed to bomb the shit out of Iran, with zero consequences. He also stopped the on-going war and scared the bejesus out of the Iranians. He also got China and Russia to tell the Iranians to get stuffed. Oh, and put everyone on notice - don't fuck with us. He fucking got the NATO chef to call him "Daddy."

Does Zontar have the authority to freeze rents?
Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at June 25, 2025 06:22 PM (63Dwl) --------- The city administration has a rent board that sets rent increases. Posted by: Huck Follywood at June 25, 2025 08:50 PM (A9kSL) Jonathan Turley Predicts That the Supreme Court Will Rebuke Lowly District Courts After a Boston Judge Ignores Their RulingAs you may know, a Boston judge forbid Trump from deporting illegal aliens to South Sudan. The Supreme Court overruled his order, and said that deportations may resume. That lowly district hack then gave the finger to the Supreme Court and announced that their ruling doesn't apply to him. Law prof Jonathan Turley predicts this might be the case that forces Roberts to act to rein in the district court insurrection.The Trump administration on Tuesday accused US District Judge Brian Murphy of defying the Supreme Court's ruling allowing the White House to deport illegal immigrants to third countries without appropriate due process. The judge had previously ruled that the White House must provide a period of time in which a deportee can challenge the proceedings. The Supreme Court overruled this injunction, but Murphy has kept it in place, arguing that the Court's ruling did not apply specifically to his earlier decision. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in a motion characterized Murphy's refusal to comply with the Supreme Court ruling as a "lawless act of defiance." The agency requested that the high court confirm its order extends to Murphy's injunction. Jones then asked what progressive opponents of the administration might do in response to the Supreme Court ruling. "Well, as you know, Lawrence, this is a full-court press among advocates for these individuals and their attorneys. They're trying to find every angle to help their clients," Turley replied. "They're going to many of these favorable jurisdictions and favorable judges, like the one in Boston, and they're issuing these injunctions." The professor continued, explaining that the Supreme Court might be instrumental in solving what has been a heated debate over the past six months: Whether federal judges should possess the authority to issue nationwide injunctions on the White House's policies. "The court could very well say, 'Enough. We're not going to have individual judges now freezing the entire United States government on critical programs like this.'"Video at the link. Bizarrely, the Bulwark's brain trust has decided that Trump must respect the lowest courts, and the Supreme Court must defer to their partisan leftwing inferiors, too. They're actually arguing that lowly district court judges are the ultimate arbiters of legal cases, and the president and even the Supreme Court must defer to them. ![]() Cudahy Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez is facing backlash after she allegedly posted a video on her social media accounts, calling on local gang members to reclaim city streets as immigration operations continue across Los Angeles. "You guys tag everything up, claiming hood, and now that your hood is being invaded by the biggest gang there is, there ain't a peep out of you. It's everyone else that's not about the gang life and out there protesting and speaking up," Gonzalez says in a portion of the since-deleted video. Though she didn't explicitly refer to the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement by name, the Department of Homeland Security shared a statement in response. "The comments made by the Vice Mayor of Cudahy, CA, Cynthia Gonzalez, are despicable," their statement said. "She calls for criminal gangs -- including the vicious 18th Street Gang --to commit violence against our brave ICE law enforcement. This kind of garbage has led to a more than 500 percent increase in assaults against our ICE law enforcement officers." The city of Cudahy also shared a response to the video, saying that they are aware of Gonzalez's comments and that they do not represent the city's official position.When the gang-bangers do follow her suggestion and assault or even kill ICE agents -- what charges should be brought against this gangster whore? Remember, they prosecuted Trump for inciting a riot by telling people to "protest peacefully."
Over 1,500 Iranian nationals who illegally entered the U.S. at the southern border were arrested during the Biden administration, and nearly 50% of them were released back into the country, according to a senior U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) source. More specifically, Border Patrol agents arrested 1,504 Iranian nationals from fiscal year 2021 through fiscal year 2024. Of the 1,504 individuals who were arrested, 729 were released into the U.S. The number of Iranian nationals arrested at the southern border increased year-to-year, with 48 being arrested in FY21; 197 in FY22; 462 in FY23 and 797 in FY24. Likewise, the number of Iranian nationals released also increased, with 12 in FY21; 40 in FY22; 229 in FY23; and 448 in FY24. It is unclear how many of the Iranians released into the U.S. were on the terrorism watchlist, as the Biden administration repeatedly denied Fox News' Freedom of Information Act requests and appeals for the data. The Biden administration cited "privacy concerns" of the people on the list, as well as "minimal public interest" for denying the requests. Still, there were over 2 million known gotaways at the border during the Biden administration, and because they were never caught, there is no way of knowing where the individuals were from.Bonus: Think of the poor Iranian illegal aliens who have ignored multiple deportation orders, you Racists!

Whoa, big buffet there, boss.
Actually, the "low hanging fruit" for ICE priority - after serious criminals and "special interest" (spies/saboteurs/terrorists/soccer fans - just kidding) are "W-2 illegals". Mr. Homan, please pick up the phone. Actually, have Todd Bensman give me a call. Whole industries systematically abuse illegal labor, it is well known, easy to document and easy to deal with. Rocket science for kindergartners. Convene the industries/sectors one by one. Give them a glide path, and help, to compliance (i.e. no more illegal labor). Offer the illegals help in leaving the US. Minimize disruption to the economy. AND GIVE THEM A DEADLINE, after which raids/deportations/PROSECUTION OF MANAGEMENT. This truly is not difficult.

Would a reprimand to this one district really serve as medicine for the dozens of lawless district orders since January? I doubt it. Anything short of ending, entirely, this abuse of the system, amounts to bupkis.

Here's a hint, Aaron, had the borders not been thrown wide open the last 4 years, we probably wouldn't be here.

About that Iranian woman. If I recall there was a whole 1986 amnesty. All she had to do was go into any immigration office, declare she was here illegally, provide some proof of identity, declare allegiance to the USA and that was about it.

Unless you find some way to punish the Judge, then all this is meaningless.
There must be a penalty for defying the Constitution when JUDGES do it, but short of Impeachment, Congress had never created one. Congress 'could'... if it can do anything... create a process whereby Judges can be penalized, or fired, for misconduct SHORT of impeachable offenses... as they do have Constitutional Power over court's LOWER than the Supremes.

Rocket science for kindergartners. Convene the industries/sectors one by one. Give them a glide path, and help, to compliance (i.e. no more illegal labor). Offer the illegals help in leaving the US. Minimize disruption to the economy. AND GIVE THEM A DEADLINE, after which raids/deportations/PROSECUTION OF MANAGEMENT. This truly is not difficult.
Posted by: rhomboid at June 25, 2025 05:28 PM (1m82a) The IRS and Social Security have national records of employment, since employers enter their employees' wages. Look for bad matches between DOB SSN and Name, and look for duplicate uses of SSN. Also employees using ITIN to work under. I quick run through those two databases would suck the employer and employee up, and probably give the address of a good 3/4 of the illegals working under a false SSN Then you ding the employer for the last 3 years of write-offs for the wages of illegally employed workers.

I've been warning CLIVs (Comparative LIVs) who are stoked about Trump's immigration law enforcement (that's what it is, not really a "policy", except in the new orwellian sense that enforcing the law is a discretional policy) that the sob stories will be coming.

There are literally millions of far less superficially sympathetic cases just sitting there, staring DHS in the face (including the W-2 Illegals noted above). Not a matter of principle, but tactics and PR. With such an enormous and diverse problem, in the early phases, outside the urgent/criminal cases, pick your battles.

Why are so many criminal illegals on our streets? This is because MayorkasBiden did practically ZERO internal immigration enforcement.* All their ICE and CBP personnel were at the southern border processing daily hordes of illegals in ASAP, as asylum claimants. Accused felons released in blue shithole jurisdictions and anywhere they could make bail were not tracked-down by any Federal LEO for deportation during the Biden National Catastrophe. *Previous Presidents, including PDT45, did not put high priority on internal immigration enforcement.

I'd also note the FL AG is currently under contempt for refusing to parties not before the court to comply with the court's injunction.
The plaintiffs didn't sue the law enforcement officials. It's a brazen abuse of the court's powers-- but the clown judge thinks she can order the AG to do indirectly what would be plainly illegal for her to order directly. And it's clear she knows that: Or she would issue an order against the officers directly herself. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at June 25, 2025 05:50 PM (NwfFc) 121
Laughably predictable.
Roberts has bent over backwards to let his precious 'process' play out to safeguard the 'legitimacy' of the court, and the leftist judges don't think he's being 'measured', or 'non-partisan' or 'showing judicial restraint' They (accurately) think he's just weak and they can do whatever they want. Roberts weakness and cowardice has led to the point that leftist judges just openly issue blatantly illegal and unconstitutional rulings and now simply ignore what he says. Why? Because the leftist hack in a robe knows that the worst that can possibly happen is Roberts makes another ruling telling him to stop. No actual consequences.

Judge Roberts is a compromised sack of shit.

The same FISA court that rubber stamped confidential warrants against a presidential candidate based on false information and, ultimately, altered emails (the attorney who falsified the emails is still practicing law, btw)
Boasberg nominated to the Court by Obama, Tallman nominated to the Court by Clinton....and promoted by Judge Roberts. Posted by: Orson at June 25, 2025 05:50 PM (dIske) 124

Among other things, chubby vice mayor (so important!), she needs a new shade of lipstick vs "Violent Rape Me Orange/Red" by Revlon. It simply screams, "I wear lipstick from Walmart." Not that there is anything wrong with this, but, please. Spare me.
Thankfully I am spared for whatever exists under her black wife beater tee shirt from Tijuana. Those leetle markets across the border with the strange fly-ridden liquid to put on shaved and polluted ice. I only saw this once on a quick trip with my very blonde toddler son and nervous husband. Maybe this no longer exists. I bought a shirt and we left. Her eyebrows need a good something. Tweezing? Filling in? Shaving off and starting over? Earrings are pure gutter plastic, wth, but almost match the hideous matte lipstick that does her no favors. Then the claw fingernails with "art" screams, "I am one degree above a street ho." Her face needs a good dermabrasion. I recommend not only microneedling, but her lying on hot riot pavement and a steam roller smoothing it. This is after liposuction in a garage with a Brazillian butt lift and silicone implants from a tire store. Otherwise, wth? Is she supposed to be cute like AOL?

This whole moment is comical.
After the president was elected on a platform of deporting the invaders his predecessor had illegally brought in we have courts arguing the president has no authority to deal with invaders in the country. This is about the clearest example of a presidential power there is. And if instead of deporting them he just had them all summarily executed he'd still be clearly within his power. Hell if he wanted he has a prima facie argument for a military tribunal and execution for the judges enabling the invaders as well. Posted by: 18-1 at June 25, 2025 05:56 PM (t0Rmr) 155

The autopen scandal is hearing up again. James Freeman quotes House Oversight Chair Comey saying today that Biden did not oversee the Auropen use, it was done by other individuals:
Neera Tanden, the former Staff Secretary who controlled the Biden autopen. Ms. Tanden testified that she had minimal interaction with President Biden, despite wielding tremendous authority. She explained that to obtain approval for autopen signatures, she would send decision memos to members of the President’s inner circle and had no visibility of what occurred between sending the memo and receiving it back with approval. Her testimony raises serious questions about who was really calling the shots in the Biden White House amid the President’s obvious decline.

Alex, I hadn't even heard of the new scandals in that area.
But it all reminds me of questions that any sane person has been asking, for years: It's highly improbable that the *billions* of illicit $$ generated by the cartels have not found their way into corruption of public officials, at various levels. So what are the dimensions of this phenomenon? What is the FBI doing about it? There have been claims, AFAIK without compelling specifics, in AZ, about various Dems and cartel $, at high levels. Since the designation of the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, the entire toolbox of federal surveillance including FISA is now available for this issue.

The Supreme Court needs to start issuing public statements along these lines:
"Judge X's ruling in case [x] is so blatantly unconstitutional, so utterly lawless and absurd, so downright stupid, as to demonstrate that s/he cannot continue to sit as a judge. If s/he does not take early retirement immediately, we strongly urge the legislature to impeach and remove Judge X, without a pension, at their earliest convenience." Being able to keep the pension might convince some of them to take the early retirement. It would help if all nine SCOTUS justices signed the statement. Hmmmm. I wonder if Congress could pass a law allowing the Supreme Court to remove lower-court judges, as long as they vote at least 6-3 (7-2? 8-1? 9-0?) in favor.

It's just that they have to note in their lawsuit that the money sought exceeds this threshold. "This is breach of contract action against Mr. Biden for unpaid legal fees," Winston & Strawn LLP wrote in its complaint, the New York Post reported. "Despite repeated requests for payment, Mr. Biden has failed to pay the amounts he owes." "Although a portion of those fees have been paid," the complaint reads, "Mr. Biden presently owes [Winston & Strawn] substantially in excess of $50,000 in fees and interest that are due and payable." Winston & Strawn represented Hunter Biden in both the Delaware gun case and the California tax evasion case. ... This isn't the first time that Hunter Biden, who has a long history of alcohol and drug addictions, has struggled to finance his legal defense. In January 2024, Hollywood entertainment lawyer Kevin Morris testified to Congress that he had been paying "various attorneys" on behalf of the then-first son. By last May--just weeks before Biden's gun trial--Morris reportedly told associates he was "completely tapped out" from footing the bill for millions in legal expenses for years.Weird that Kevin Morris won't pay Hunter Biden's bills now that Joe Biden (and his ability to raise money through Biden, Inc.) isn't in office. Did their friendship just end? Or was it always a criminal scam to illegally donate money to Hunter Biden?

Winston & Strawn? You can rack up $50K for one of their partners to mark up revisions on an associate's draft while he takes a dump. (I worked for an AmLaw 100 firm my first few years out of law school, and there was really a partner in my office who was notorious for doing that.)

Ace, that is correct. The Superior Court of the District of Columbia "has jurisdiction of any civil action ... in which the amount in controversy does not exceed $50,000."

I've never understood why someone who's made as much in graft as Biden would even balk at paying these guys off.
OTOH, if you think that Goggle's AI is neutral, there's this on his net worth: Estimates of Joe Biden's net worth vary, with Forbes estimating it at around $10 million as of June 2024 . This includes assets like his two homes in Delaware, which are valued at an estimated $7 million combined. He also owns a 1967 Corvette Stingray, estimated to be worth $100,000. Biden's wealth has increased since taking office, primarily due to the rise in real estate values. He also earns a $400,000 annual salary as president. Financial disclosures from May 2023 indicated that his assets ranged between $1 million and $2.65 million as of 2022. It's important to note that a claim suggesting his net worth had increased to $41 million by 2022 was rated as false by PolitiFact Yeah, a rise in real estate values. That's it. I mean, who would ever doubt the work of Politifact? Posted by: Archimedes at June 25, 2025 04:33 PM (Riz8t) 36

Posted by: Halfhand at June 25, 2025 04:42 PM (VHiwh) --- Hmmm. Maybe. But it's also possible they've been playing shell games with their money for so long that they don't know WHAT they have or WHERE it's at. Maybe it's tucked away in deep dark corners of various shell corporations and off-shore accounts to make it untouchable, even by the Bidens themselves. Or it's been siphoned off through embezzlement by all the people "helping" them hide their money. Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at June 25, 2025 04:48 PM (7fElN) 107

Remember that Morris was basically handed the assets of a company that had been funded by the Chinese because Hunter was forced to divest it.

Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at June 25, 2025 05:13 PM (ZOv7s) archaic Arabic, and remember that the whole problem ending in the Reformation came about because of new translations of the Bible from the original Greek and Aramaic texts that were recovered from the East. These showed that the common Bible used at that time (prior to 12th Century) in Europe was full of errors, mistranslations, misinterpretations and outright forgeries. This is the genesis of the Geneva Bible, Wycliff's martyrdom, the split in the Church that ended in Luther's theses, and pretty much the 13 -16th centuries. To say "but they don't understand Arabic" is a facile argument that comes more from misunderstanding languages and dialects than any real academic stance.

The NYC Mayoral elections always have multiple candidates. The last election had nine candidates running on ten official ballot lines (Curtis Sliwa was endorsed by two parties).
In that election, Eric Adams, the endorsed Democrat, won 67% of the vote. In the prior election, the endorsed Democrat won 66% of the vote. Before that, Michael Bloomberg bought a couple of elections. There is, I suppose, a small chance Curtis Sliwa could win. It's more likely that Cuomo is put up as an independent financed again by Bloomberg, and he has a better shot than Sliwa, I would imagine. But rapper terror-lover already beat Cuomo once, so ...

Posted by: Mordecai at June 25, 2025 09:44 PM (zRkGO) INSURRECTION: RIOTERS BREAK INTO CAPITOL HILL TO STOP OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT BUSINESSWhich I'm told makes you an insurrectionist and subject to jail without bail until trial. And also subject to the government slamming you with multiple duplicative charges and fabricated charges like "conspiracy to defraud the United States." That's the rule now, right?U.S. Capitol Police detained a group of peaceful protestors on Wednesday, including several people in wheelchairs, during a protest over proposed cuts to Medicaid spending on Capitol Hill. Scripps News footage shows a crowd of people, some of them in wheelchairs, being zip-tied and escorted out of the Russell Senate Rotunda. The room is part of a Senate office building on Capitol Hill. The protests are over proposed Medicaid cuts included in the "Big Beautiful Bill," which would remove coverage for some 10 million of the poorest Americans over the next decade as well as implement additional work requirements for those using Medicaid.The media continues to push the idea that some people -- women, minorities, gays, transgenders, the disabled -- have special rights and privileges and are allowed to break the law, and that it's Racist to apply the law to them. Hence the special mention that some of the rioters are "in wheelchairs" -- so what if they are? What is being argued here? That if someone is in a wheelchair (and might just be posing in a wheelchair, btw) then they have a special right to riot?

Personally, I would like to see them take these people in a room by themselves and make a deal with them.
"Tell us which politician set this entire thing up. Who, specifically, coordinated it, and you're free to wheel your ass out of here." Then, file charges against the individuals who set up the event and encouraged "handicapped" (both mentally and physically) to break the law. Such an effort would flip the optics 180 degrees. And, it would send a message to the next politician (because, let's face it, someone like AOC or Warren set this up) that there are actual repercussions once again after a long hiatus.

There appear to be maybe two dozen rioters in that video.
I think part of the problem is that, with some exceptions, few people show up for leftwing riots. A few dozen retarded lefty NPC mamalukes drooling on themselves at the Capitol isn't scary or threatening. It's a big meh. But with J6, not only was their ideology wrong, but there were also thousands of people there. That made it a much bigger deal and fed into leftwing lies that it was a massive coup. If only 25 people showed up on J6, that's a much harder narrative to support. Posted by: (There Can Be Only One) Elric Blade at June 25, 2025 03:33 PM (iFTx/) 58

Of course they bring some people in sitting in wheelchairs.

We have a woman at work who goes around on a motorized wheelchair and she is a menace to everyone that happens to be in her vicinity as she races through the hospital. She has hit people by wheeling around very fast without looking first, she gets behind people in a hallway and honks her horn at them until they move, etc. She has been disciplined, written up, etc. but alas, her disability - morbid obesity - protects her as well as supposedly she is good at her job.

OT, but I was looking through a cooking and wine magazine. Three observations:
1. Most of the famous "chefs" -- and especially the younger ones -- are the same weirdo tattooed dykes and homos that seem to infest every industry today. Is nowhere safe from them? 2. These recipes ... come on now. Simple dinners seem to have 25 fucking ingredients. How many different spices do you need to put in a recipe for meatballs? 3.

True story - a friend is in the hospital in Houston's Medical Center and I went to visit her. Walking down from parking I spot an empty wheelchair and figure it needs to go back to the hospital so I sit down and start making my way in it.
Get to a ramp up to the door...struggling to lean forward and get up the ramp...guy gets out of his car to help..."thanks man, I'm new to this but I'm okay"...wheel in and ask what floor she's on, what room, etc. and go about my way wondering at what point I can get up and walk without making a scene. Patti howls with laughter when I tell her about it, how nobody looks a guy in a wheel chair and how it would make the perfect costume to be anonymous. Upon leaving the girls at the front desk start laughing and want to know what the doctors did to fix me so quickly. Posted by: DanMan at June 25, 2025 03:59 PM (8uzBS) 207

I am using cash more and more. I always try to keep the amount in my pocket below a certain amount so the local stasi can’t seize it as contraband, but more and more businesses are giving you the 3% fee back if you just pay them in cash. So far my local bookstore and my pharmacy do this. I also pay with cash at the grocery. The cashier at the grocery (national chain) has to run a counterfeit checking pen across the bill if it’s over a dollar, so I always make a point of holding up the bills in my change to check the watermark!

Some cuts to Medicaid were cooked in the Medicaid expansion program, money from the feds. It was voluntary, states could refuse it as 10 did. As a result they will suffer no cuts to their programs. That's how I read it anyway.

There is no Conflict among those who do not demand the Unearned. Period. But in any collaboration with Evil, only evil will benefit -- viz. who caused this
LIB Politico's believe gov't can do anything it pleases, while you only act with their permission, where the "Will of the People" is in Evidence Everywhere, yet existent in no one. LIBs Politicos put themselves in the role of choosing "Who" must be sacrificed, so that THEY may continue their reign over the ruins, rather than rebuild from the Rubble. LIBs are not JUST Mistaken, they are evil. Their world is a world with cities ablaze with bodies littering the streets, where the dead, the Dying, the DISSENTING are carted away, assets seized, and lives destroyed to heat their own bathwater. LIB Strategic Insanity MUST be Defeated. DESERVE PEACE, DEMAND FREEDOM, a free and productive people have absolutely nothing to gain from war, and in fact a great deal to lose. WAR, in fact, is only possible when the wealth of the nation is held by its leaders rather than rightly held and utilized by its citizens. LIBs hate the man who has a dollar more than them, because they believe that dollar belongs to them. And now you know why.

bicyclists, as an organized group have to be the most hateable bunch anywhere. The area around Schloss Hadrian has long, flat rural roads that are popular with weekend bicyclists. Even in large groups, they've never been a problem to me. It's when you get to cities that the hatefulness grows. Know what you never see in a bike lane? Bikes. They take away from main lanes to put them in, you're banging door panels with the guy in the next lane and bikes ride on the sidewalk anyway.

Just had a thought/question. Would it be possible for a state to require term limits as a condition to be an elected office holder for a federal level office (from that state)? You know, like a rep or senator?
--- No. But nothing stops them from re-defining residency to require a minimum number of days per year spent at their listed address, not merely in-state, at that address. Say, 140 days. So all the "good, solid conservatives" that go native and never are in state except to campaign, would howl. I think, there also might not be anything restricting a state from just declaring a Senator no longer a resident.

Very few people just eat a baked potato with nothing on it. Or mashed potatoes. There are whole books devoted to gussying up potatoes so that they are basically unrecognizable as potatoes. And yes, you can simply roast brussel sprouts with a little salt and butter and they are good to go. Posted by: Thomas Bender at June 25, 2025 04:27 PM (XV/Pl) 320

I do. We have a woman at work who goes around on a motorized wheelchair and she is a menace to everyone that happens to be in her vicinity as she races through the hospital. She has hit people by wheeling around very fast without looking first, she gets behind people in a hallway and honks her horn at them until they move, etc. She has been disciplined, written up, etc. but alas, her disability - morbid obesity - protects her as well as supposedly she is good at her job. Yeah, she needs to be zip-tied.

SoCal bicyclists are shit-heads. They ride in packs, purposefully taking up at least one or two lanes, just to be dicks. 3/4 of them wearing yellow jerseys to play Tour de France Leader. Here in the San Joaquin Valley, it's too hot to ride in rush hour traffic to fuck with the automobiles. Plus, the dairy farmers and cowboys in dieselzilla trucks don't play around.

>>> 324 I do. We have a woman at work who goes around on a motorized wheelchair and she is a menace to everyone that happens to be in her vicinity as she races through the hospital. She has hit people by wheeling around very fast without looking first, she gets behind people in a hallway and honks her horn at them until they move, etc. She has been disciplined, written up, etc. but alas, her disability - morbid obesity - protects her as well as supposedly she is good at her job. Yeah, she needs to be zip-tied.

The U.S. Capitol Police are requesting the installation of a statute commemorating the events of January 6, 2021. This request is part of a civil lawsuit filed by officers seeking a court order to have the plaque installed. The lawsuit argues that the failure to install the plaque violates the Equal Protection clause of the Constitution and that the Architect of the Capitol has failed to fulfill a duty mandated by a 2022 law.

They're notorious for cancelling AdSense on sites for things users say in the comments section. That's why so many conservative sites have hide the comments on other pages or behind paywalls. Google is the biggest player in online ads, and if they could get Google to stop their discrimination it would force the other big players to follow along.

I'm sure you are all glad to know this. Posted by: From about That Time at June 25, 2025 02:22 PM (n4GiU) GUM was the acronym for Soviet/Russian big department stores/malls. GUM (Russian: ГУМ ![]() The most famous GUM is the large store facing Red Square in the Kitai-gorod area – itself traditionally a mall of Moscow. Originally, and today again, the building functions as a shopping mall. During most of the Soviet period it was essentially a department store as there was one vendor: the Soviet State. Before the 1920s the location was known as the Upper Trading Rows (Russian: Верхние торговые ряды, romanized: Verhnije torgovyje rjady). As of 2021, GUM carries over 100 different brands,[1] and has cafes and restaurants[2] inside the mall. Posted by: Oldcat at June 25, 2025 02:36 PM (8avO+) 77

Terrifying. But I know people on it though, either for diabetes or for weight loss, and they are fine. The drugs in Botox are also appalling and yet they work, so who knows.
when Ozempic is administered for diabetes, the dosage amt is under strict control by the doctor specializing in internal medicine. From what I understand, Ozempic is available at medispas and other similar places where the only restraint on how much a customer can get depends on the size of their wallet. They can just go to town and get jabbed as much as they want. re: Botox...filler migration. It's a thing. Posted by: kallisto at June 25, 2025 02:51 PM (dCxaZ) 132
Speaking of takeovers, next thing you know we’ll be taking Ozempguin or Pengovy. Duncanthrax has probably seen this coming.

Ad campaigns that work can be run forever. No need to hire the agency to make a new one. Thus no money for the agency.
A complete failure means you go back to the agency for another campaign more often. But even successful ad campaigns eventually tire, or we would all still be saying “Where’s the beef?” Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at June 25, 2025 02:55 PM (NWqJf) 147

Axios Scoop: The Trump White House has decided that nine former senior Biden aides won't be protected by executive privilege during their interviews for a congressional probe into Joe Biden's mental fitness for office.
Why it matters: The White House's move means the former Biden aides will have to answer questions about their private conversations with Biden, unless they or Biden try to challenge the decision in court. "Why didn't you tell anyone about Joe Biden's mental state?" "Nobody asked me". Done, go home. "Because there was nothing wrong with his mental state." Who the f*#k decided that only TSF can define what is or is not in the 'national interest' or 'national security'? He certainly is full of himself since congress and the Supreme Court has decided that he is the king and the second coming. Take a cue from Republicans. You don't need executive privilege if you just "can't recall" anything. they never apologize for pushing the guardrails aside. Time for us to turn that back on them. from what I can tell, the legality of this privilege remains undecided.

Nobody uses the 10, 2, and 4 jingle for Dr. Pepper anymore, although I remember seeing it on the bottles in the 1960s. The Dr. Pepper Company came up with that in the 1930s when a study found that factory workers could do their jobs better if they drank a refreshing caffeinated and sugar-loaded beverage on breaks at 10, 2, and 4 during the work day. Yes, I do believe the Dr. Pepper Company commissioned that study. But they used that jingle for decades, but not anymore. So you’re always seeing new jingles for Dr. Pepper and new advertising campaigns which have a good measure of success (by the way, my 94 year old mother can recite the original 1930s 10, 2, and 4 radio jingle for Dr. Pepper by heart, and will do so upon request!).

Fun with commercial jingles!!
Barry Manilow wrote the Stuck on Bandaid jingle and the Like a Good Neighbor State Farm jingle. The State farm jingle is still being used after like 40 years or so! Manilow calls it his biggest hit. Manilow did a song called I Write The Songs. One line in the chorus is " I write the songs that make the whole world sing" Barry did not write this song. It was written by Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys. However, Barry Manilow did indeed write a song the whole world has been singing even if they do not listen to his music.

But in practice, there seems to be a few "choke points" on the internet, and somehow these choke points seem to be in the hands of liberals and liberal maniacs.

He tried Dr. Pepper and liked it, then he tried Coca-Cola and was put off by it because it didn’t taste the way it looked! It took him some time before he could stand the taste of Coca-Cola!

Posted by: wferrin at June 25, 2025 11:42 PM (jIN2G) Leftists Leak a Classified DIA Assessment of the Damage to the Iran Nuke Sites to Embarass TrumpEndless treason. Endless. Trump administration officials on Tuesday slammed a leaked preliminary intelligence assessment of the damage done to Iran's nuclear facilities by weekend US airstrikes that the president has touted as a massive success. The classified Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) bomb damage assessment -- deemed a "low confidence" estimation of the effectiveness of Saturday's strikes on the Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz sites -- reportedly determined that Iran could bring its nuclear program back online as quickly as one to two months, according to Fox News. On the high end, estimates indicate that Iran could restart uranium enrichment within a year, according to those who viewed the DIA report. CNN, which first reported on the leaked classified document, noted that assessments are ongoing and could change, but the DIA believes Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium was not destroyed by the "bunker buster" bombs dropped on the nuclear facilities. "This alleged 'assessment' is flat-out wrong and was classified as 'top secret' but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on X. "The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran's nuclear program," she added. "Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration," Leavitt argued. The assessment was reportedly based on satellite images and electronic communications that have been intercepted since the strikes. The report focuses on the damage done to Fordow, a facility buried under mountains south of Tehran, which was hit by 14 Massive Ordnance Penetrators. The DIA reportedly assessed that the entrances to the facility caved in as a result of the strike, and that some infrastructure was destroyed, but that the Iranians could still dig out, repair or rebuild the site. .. "Fordow is the last enrichment reactor that was operating there, and we put 12 bunker-buster bombs on Fordow. There's no doubt that it breached the canopy. There's no doubt that it was well within reach of the depth that these bunker-buster bombs go to, and there's no doubt that it was obliterated." So according to the Deep State, Iran was simultaneously not building a nuclear bomb and able to quickly build a nuclear bomb in a few months. "Intelligence" is whatever a communist traitor needs it to be at any given moment. Trump says that leak was -- besides being an act of treason -- misleading, as the leaked report is preliminary and incomplete. He cited Israel's own assessment of the effectiveness of the strike. Israel confirmed Wednesday that the U.S. airstrike on Iran's Fordow nuclear site over the weekend caused severe damage, rendering the facility "inoperable." Israeli officials say the operation has significantly delayed Iran's nuclear ambitions. Key Details: The Israeli Prime Minister's Office said the U.S. strike destroyed key infrastructure at Fordow and crippled Iran's uranium enrichment capability at the site. The statement, delivered on behalf of the Israel Atomic Energy Commission, concluded that combined U.S. and Israeli strikes have set Iran's nuclear weapons program back "by many years." President Trump praised the success of the operation during remarks at the NATO summit in Brussels, calling it a "joint Israeli-American victory" and likening it to Israel's decisive 1967 Six Day War. Diving Deeper: On Wednesday, the Israeli government released an official statement confirming that a U.S. airstrike on Iran's Fordow nuclear facility had effectively shut down operations at the controversial site. The announcement came shortly after President Donald Trump previewed the findings during a press conference at the NATO summit in Brussels, noting that Israeli intelligence would provide details on the mission's results. "The devastating U.S. strike on Fordow destroyed the site's critical infrastructure and rendered the enrichment facility inoperable," read the statement issued by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office on behalf of the Israel Atomic Energy Commission. The report concluded that the joint American and Israeli military campaign had "set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons by many years." Officials added that this delay in Iran's nuclear capabilities could continue "indefinitely," provided Tehran is prevented from obtaining new sources of nuclear material.
"All of the evidence of what was just bombed, by twelve 30,000-pound bombs, is buried under a mountain, devastated and obliterated. So if you want to make an assessment of what happened at Fordow, you better get a big shovel and go really deep."That from Twitchy. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

1) Find who leaked and shoot them. No, that's not hyperbole.
2) Trump should be more circumspect in what he says, if he's not willing to show people the evidence. The DIA reportedly assessed that the entrances to the facility caved in as a result of the strike, and that some infrastructure was destroyed, but that the Iranians could still dig out, repair or rebuild the site. 3) I don't understand this. Assuming the access tunnels have been collapsed, and the Iranians start trying to dig them out, hit the diggers with cruise missiles; lots of them. There's no more need to hit the center of the facility. Posted by: Archimedes at June 25, 2025 01:18 PM (Riz8t) 13

What got leaked was the worst case assessment. Since we can't actually get into Fordow to see what happened, there are going to be best, worst, and most likely 'best guess' assessments created.
Of course the embedded leftists in the IC are going to leak the worst case (and the least likely) scenario to the enemy agents, aka the MSM, and they would run with it as THE assessment. Posted by: AZ Hi Desert (Gringo fuertemente armado-Tempus belli) at June 25, 2025 01:18 PM (JjOLF) 15

Simultaneously conducting only TOTALLY PEACEFUL uranium enrichment with no cause for Evil Orange Man to attack them, and still able to build a nuke within months because Evil Orange Man's strike was ineffective. Even apart from that nonsense, this intelligence report was from 'satellite images and electronic communications that have been intercepted'.

The more I sit back and think about it, the madder I get. Nothing like leaking a report which not only paints the administration in a bad way, it also makes the pilots look like they engaged in a mission which was useless.

I can almost guarantee that the "low confidence" assessment was the "worst-case scenario" section of a larger report that addressed all possible outcomes. All reports that attempt to determine what happened in a chaotic, almost unknowable situation will include all possible results.
There's probably a section in the whole report that says Fordow was bombed straight down to Satan's gay sex dungeon, that Iran won't have a nuke for at least 50 years, and that the Blade is gonna get lucky with a Mannix girl tonight.

Hey, he's an old man, give him a break. massive layoffs at dia on the way. isn't their job to tell dear leader what he wants to hear? Trump has SUCCEEDED...in increasing Iran's desire to obtain atomic weapons for the purpose of self-defense. Nice work, Don-ho What will Bibi do now? Aren't the nuke facilities the targets he has wanted to eliminate and the main reason he launched attacks 11 days ago? Will he keep the ceasefire now or launch new attacks? Trump’s premature victory lap will go down as a historic embarrassment. He was so eager to claim a victory for his braying MAGA base that he totally jumped the gun. “Trump just cancelled a classified House briefing on the Iran strikes with zero explanation.

Some clarifications commenters above may not know.
- It is suspected that it was used as storage because it was considered "impenetrable" (based on assumption that the USA would not bomb. - UF6 is a solid at normal temps. It is heated to make gas to centrifuge - There are satellite photos of dump trucks which indicate that they blocked entrances to help "secure" the facility, and that supports the thought that the enriched stockpile was down there. - All it takes is a leak in the main halls and the whole place is a write off. There are lots of pipes and tanks and I think a leak quite likely. Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at June 25, 2025 01:33 PM (3OoOR) 101

It is truly amazing the delusional bubble of alternate reality the DUmmies live in. They just make up what they want to be the truth and cling to it as absolute truth, regardless of objective facts. And when their make-believe turns on a dime, even if it's to something opposite of their prior make-believe, or that can't logically coexist with some other aspect of their make-believe, they still cling to it as absolute truth. It goes beyond religious dogma to cult-like unquestioning fanaticism.

Director of the MOSSAD , who rarely makes public statements, is very satisfied with the operation to neutralized Iran's nukkelar threat. Before you say anything about 10/7, MOSSAD deals with international threats, not internal threats, that is another set of agencies. Another thing I understand is they do not repeat their operations. That is part of training. So the drone base they established inside Iran, or the pagers, that will not be repeated.

More.
The centrifuges are probably pretty easy to rebuild and repair, if it weren't for contamination. They have thousands of them and I assume a big part of their operations are maintenance and repair. Probably dozens each week. So if they are not spinning, and not contaminated, start up is not trivial, but not impossible -- a few months for factilitization (power, etc.) maybe a new cascade up and running every couple weeks so in a year or two they are back in operation. But that is best case with no contamination. With contamination they are toast. Put a plug in it and move on.

Of course, the damage would be that much worse if the centrifuges were spinning when the bombs hit, but I doubt even the Iranians are that stupid.
Posted by: Archimedes at June 25, 2025 01:25 PM Perhaps that was the main reason for the tight operational security?

Posted by: 18-1 at June 25, 2025 01:40 PM (t0Rmr) U235 has a natural radioactive decay mechanism (can't recall, didn't look it up), which poses far less of a radioactivity threat than all the radioactive decay products (which contain a spectrum of radioactive elements, not just U235) from a nuclear fission blast of U235.

Uranium Hexaflouride is also quite toxic and rather unstable. No one is easily moving it about... and especially if it gets wet.
Posted by: man at June 25, 2025 01:43 PM It is also extremely corrosive and once the containment vessel is breached or destroyed it's all over. The site will be heavily contaminated and will require an enormous amount of time and money to get it back up and running. Granted iran like russia will just use convicted criminals to do the literal dirty work but it will still take years to get that facility back up and running.

The centrifuges are toast at this point. They're precision instruments that don't mix well with high explosives.

If the chambers are far enough underground, no number of MOPs are going to get to it. And look at the pictures of the impact sites. They're not huge craters. They're well-defined holes where the ordnance hit the earth, the explosion happening exclusively underground. If you send a MOP after another, can the second MOP go further through the material than the first one did, especially if the first one didn't actually move any earth out of the way? It no longer being solid rock but debris underground could the conditions allow greater passage, and how far down? The US/Israeli intel is talking very confidently, so that's something. The anonymous sources from Iran are talking very pessimistically, so that's also something. But the physics still make me wonder if it's really only making the place immediately inaccessible instead.

As noted by bob and others above, the bonus factor here is contamination. Can greatly complicate recovery/rehab in various of the sites that were hit.
There's a tunnel complex at Isfahan that was not hit with penetrating ordnance. That's another factor here that's not much discussed. In any case Israel hit the entire nuke enrichment chain, not just Fordow - and they also hit some weaponization sites (Parchin, the only non-air defense site hit in Israel's initial raid last year, is/was a key weaponization facility, involving explosives testing related to creating a workable weapon).

The centrifuges are probably pretty easy to rebuild and repair, if it weren't for contamination. They have thousands of them and I assume a big part of their operations are maintenance and repair. Probably dozens each week. So if they are not spinning, and not contaminated, start up is not trivial, but not impossible -- a few months for factilitization (power, etc.) maybe a new cascade up and running every couple weeks so in a year or two they are back in operation. But that is best case with no contamination. With contamination they are toast. Put a plug in it and move on. Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at June 25, 2025 01:41 PM (3OoOR) Those things run at about 90,000 rpm. The tiniest fault with the bearings, driveshaft, motors etc, and it turns into a pedo van-sized grenade. Think of what happens with a car engine if the camshaft or driveshaft gets bent or damaged. Less than 10k rpm, and sometimes it'll grenade bad enough to blast a piston through the engine block and hood. It'd probably be easier to scrap the ones that got hammered by the shock wave and replace them with new units. The contamination issue is just the cherry on top of the banana split. Posted by: IllTemperedCur at June 25, 2025 01:57 PM (y9nCu) 235
My take as an engineer -
Warhead explosions in the excavated spaces at Fordow and Natanz (?) may not be necessary to collapse them or destroy their contents. Progressive fracturing of the overhead rock and the shockwaves and vibrations transmitted through rock above the caverns, by bomb after bomb, each going deeper than the one before, could cause the cavern roofs, sides, and floors to collapse. Assuming Mossad has reasonably up-to-date as-built blueprints of the excavated and reinforced caverns and tunnels. And they are shared with our DoD. Structural math models can be made of the entire underground complex. Stolen Iranian geologic surveys (and perhaps Mossad-placed surface seismic sensors) provide more information. Tests of MOPs on similar rock formations in Nevada or Arizona provide still more data to refine the models. With the help of Israeli and US geologists, mining engineers, and ordnance experts, a high-confidence plan to collapse the caverns using X number of MOPs can be formulated. Posted by: Gref at June 25, 2025 01:57 PM (aBgBM) 236
I believe solid rock is much more difficult to penetrate with a MOP weapon compared to unconsolidated material.
However, I know with certainty that solid rock will transmit seismic energy MUCH more efficiently than unconsolidated material. If the weapons did not penetrate as much as we hoped, then the explosive shock was hopefully still delivered sufficiently to the underlying facilities.

If they try and dig out the site isn't it likely to be highly irradiated?
Posted by: 18-1 at June 25, 2025 01:40 PM (t0Rmr) U235 has a natural radioactive decay mechanism (can't recall, didn't look it up), which poses far less of a radioactivity threat than all the radioactive decay products (which contain a spectrum of radioactive elements, not just U235) from a nuclear fission blast of U235. Posted by: Comrade Flounder, Disinformation Demon at June 25, 2025 01:46 PM (i24o9) U-235 alpha decays to Thorium. From then on its either alpha or beta decays to reduce the neutron excess from the nucleus. (the heavier a nucleus the more bonus neutrons are needed to keep it remotely stable).

Those things run at about 90,000 rpm. The tiniest fault with the bearings, driveshaft, motors etc, and it turns into a pedo van-sized grenade.
.... Posted by: IllTemperedCur Unlikely because if that were true, running thousands 24/7, the place would be like working inside a popcorn machine with grenades going off every couple minutes. More likely they have a fairly benign failure mode (I am engineer and have worked with some high speed and high energy equipment) and just need to be purged and rebuilt. Doable, but tedious. But it is only doable if you have the repair equipment. If the whole facility is contaminated with no power then you have to build a workspace first and set up bake ovens to purge for repair and then one by one purge, bake, repair and move to new facility to run. Not going to happen (I don't think.) Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at June 25, 2025 02:09 PM (3OoOR) 295
Whig and I were discussing on the morning thread that Israel has quietly said that yes, they were tracking the 100 kg (or however much it is) of 60% concentrated U-235 that Iran had admitted to having, and that yes, it was taken out of Fordow shortly before the bombing, and that it is now buried underneath the rubble of a different storage facility that the Israelis prefer not to name.

Pre-detonation* is an obvious and old design, where some kind of void or intermediate space separates a hard shell (which detonates the incoming) from the actual target.
Battleships had torpedo blisters to do this. A mortar roof (just sandbags piled on wooden platforms), ditto. Have no idea, but imagine anything like this underground would be an engineering/construction challenge more suited to Japan than Iran. * not to be confused with a key challenge in nuke design, avoiding pre-detonation of the physics package.

Follow-up: Mossad probably placed surface seismic sensors on and around the underground facilities. Data is radioed in real-time. Common geology tech. The readings might have shown (or not) collapses deeper than the MOPs penetrated. This may be the primary means for initial bomb damage assessment.

I don't know what the assessments use as factors but I can tell you that how long it takes to start refining the stuff they have left is very much going to depend on how much help they get from other "counties".

As a soldier and later a civilian contractor I held various flavors of TS clearances - never was tasked with writing up or directly reading the sort of reports that summarize known intel about X and grade the received intel and analysis of same on a reliability scale.
But as I understand it, Best Practice is to turn your analysts loose to look at all possible conclusions, decide which ones are at least possible, and write them all up graded by probability of being correct. Like Schrodinger's Cat you won't know the correct conclusion until later - but with multiple choice options instead of just the two. The MSM and the Dems (but I repeat myself) have recently repeatedly taken to assuming whatever the conclusion LEAST friendly to Trump - that MUST be the only valid conclusion - probabilities be damned. Which leads to some rather silly "I'm sure this is the case" takes on Intel - a certain laptop must be DisInfo even if that probability is < 1% - Trump is a Manchurian Candidate even when it's his opponent getting rich off of foreign moneys - and all the Bunker Buster Bombs are no better than the non-working torpedoes the US Navy had at the start of WWII.

f you send a MOP after another, can the second MOP go further through the material than the first one did, especially if the first one didn't actually move any earth out of the way?
---- The MOP is traveling Mach 1 at impact. The fuse is 100 milliseconds after impact. X ms later, the second MOP reaches ground level. Assume the second isn't triggered until it passes through the "liquified" rock that is currently at that instant floating inside the explosion. How deep is that? That's a lot of maths that the coneheads have worked out to say: Shit's all fucked up, yo. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at June 25, 2025 02:26 PM (UImIR) 367
Because that's not what MOPs are designed to do. They're designed to burrow upwards of 100m underground and explode. As we can see from the satellite photos at Fordow after the attack, that kind of ordnance does not create the kind of outward expanding explosions above ground.

Whig and I were discussing on the morning thread that Israel has quietly said that yes, they were tracking the 100 kg (or however much it is) of 60% concentrated U-235 that Iran had admitted to having, and that yes, it was taken out of Fordow shortly before the bombing, and that it is now buried underneath the rubble of a different storage facility that the Israelis prefer not to name.

First of all, I want to forthrightly say that I have never been more happy that my assertion that Trump should not bomb the deeply buried nuclear facilities was incorrect and that President Trump was right to make the call! Many of us thought it would drag us into another endless war! But how could I have ever doubted this great man who has survived a very near-miss assassin's bullet; who fought back and BEAT the Deep State monsters who sought to imprison him for the rest of his natural born life. And on and on. I - like many others (Tucker Carlson, I'm referring to you!) - should have trusted that this awesome President would never betray the loyal base that pol vaulted him into the Presidency. I stand happily corrected. Moreover, now - according to no less than the Israelis themselves - Iran's Fordow facilities have been destroyed. So, (for at least the next 3.5 years), there can be no sound rationale for taking military action to stop Iran's nuclear program. Because (again, according to the Israelis themselves) with the destruction of Iran's nuclear weapons infrastructure, Iran's ambitions of acquiring a nuclear weapon has been set back for a great many years. Posted by: Bach In Black at June 25, 2025 03:44 PM (+oqUV) 375
[Now, just to be clear, I am in no way CERTAIN that the bombing of Iran's Fordow (et al) nuclear facilities was a big hero-theater-show brilliantly designed (by Trump) to turn off the utterly misbegotten and preemptively-foundationless attacks by Israel on Iran.
SOME have claimed that Israel's out-of-the-blue attack was conducted because Witcoff (Trump's chief diplomat and negotiator) was showing excellent and promising progress at reaching a peaceful deal with Iran. - What?! Israel did this all in the hopes of getting the US to fight a war for Israel? Why, NO! That's just CYNICAL! Anyway, there are no more ridiculous excuses to launch a war on Iran. Moreover, I (along with MILLIONS of other non-neocon Trump supporters) absolutely LOVE that fact. Extremely well played, Mr. President. We should have never doubted you. Keep it up.] Posted by: Bach In Black at June 25, 2025 04:07 PM (+oqUV) 376
