Monday Overnight Open Thread - June 23, 2025 [Doof]
How Hot Is It?
4-year-old Kyndal Bradley knows how to use a phone to call her mother, but how to call 911, or even when to do so, has not been talked about. So imagine the surprise of her mother and the teaching staff at a Tennessee daycare when, during a medical emergency, it was Kyndal who took action. Witnesses say that the teacher at the daycare in Clarksville collapsed and suffered a seizure. She had been the only adult in the room, and while the rest of the class stood there confused, Kyndal ran to get help. *** “If she hadn’t have gone and got the assistance, this story could have gone a totally different way.” “I never thought to introduce what to do if an emergency arises, so it was a shock to me to see that she knew exactly what to do in a situation like that,”Read the whole thing. Video segment in the story at the link.
*** Bonus feel good story Community Rallies To Buy Ice Cream Truck For Beloved Tampa Vendor Walking Miles In Summer Heat
A heartwarming moment of kindness has gone viral—and turned into real-life change—for a local ice cream vendor. Don Tomas, known affectionately in his community for his years of dedication and hard work, was recently seen pushing a heavy ice cream freezer down the road in the sweltering Florida summer heat. *** In just one week, nearly 2,000 people donated, and the campaign raised $30,000. Thanks to the power of community and compassion, Tomas will soon be able to keep doing what he loves—bringing joy and frozen treats to his neighborhood—without having to walk miles in the heat.Check out the whole story.

And the pho was delicious, too.

And yet, we went in, took out their nuke capabilities, and negotiated a ceasefire. It was masterfully played and basically satisfied everyone but the most "pro-WWIII war mongers in DC."
Gotta think Trump is going to get a big boost for how he handled this. Most Americans were polling with a "yes take out their nukes but no war" and that's exactly what Trump delivered.

There's a local musician here in SF Bay Area, Kelly Stoltz. He plays here frequently and tours occasionally. He played guitar for Echo and the Bunnymen for a while (also plays with Robyn Hitchcock here and there). His music is great with good songwriting, 80s inspired but fresh at the same time. You should check him out, you'd probably like him.

It tastes different. Not terrible, and it sort of tastes like a milk bread, and has a similar texture. I need to do a few more tries to get a better texture since I am mot fond of the texture of milk bread.

The primary is ranked choice voting. There are nearly a dozen Dem candidates. It could take until July 1st or so until a winner is declared.
In looking up the number of Dem candidates, just found out Curtis Sliwa is running for mayor as a Republican. (I haven't seen one campaign ad so maybe he's saving cash for the general.) Scratch my potential vote for Randy Andy.

He steps into politics, not as a mayor or governor or US rep. No no, he goes for the big enchilada, and everyone at first laughs at him. Then he gets in and does the job better, arguably, than anyone has done the job in a century.
And they hate him for it. They hate him because they're idiots who spent their life trying to do the job and failed. And he just waltzes in like it's easy and does it without breaking a sweat. Seriously, he's been in politics for 10 years: Compare him to Obama after 2 terms, or Bush, or Clinton. All of them went from babyfaced, brownhaired middle aged men, to haggered, grey haired grandpas. Trump, who started later in life than any of them, jumped into the arena at the highest levels, and ten years later he looks the same as he did the day he glided down the escalator.
It's hilarious.

I like it a little cooler. Blanket cool. Used to set the AC cold enough so blankets are needed. The B-quad barracks at Schofield had these anciejt huge air conditioners that would cool the rooms down to “hang side of beef” or thereabouts. Most people hated that. So they would stuff pillows in their room vents, which only increased the airflow into my room. It was great. I kept my ECW sleeping bag, those big huge bulky fuckers in my bunk. Heaven after a day of roasting on the flight line.

It's been a cojuple of decades now for me, too. Did have Rangers seasons for 20 years. With 41 home games, The Garden was like a second home.
Fun fact: US hockey fans sing the Canadian national anthem more than any other American. At least at the Garden. Funniest thing is my cousin was shocked at the applause and racous noise during the Anthem. Some say that's sacriligious but the fans celebrate the Anthem. It is our Song, after all. It's a war anthem, not a funeral dirge.

Extra bonus feel good story. I had to run up MN to bury an in-law Aunt that took with my Uncle's best friend. He never recovered.
As part of this trip I ran up to the old hometown area to check that he and my other family members were still where they were the last time I went to visit everyone's grave. Of course I forgot everything necessary and being a Saturday there were zero employees around.
Graveyards are lively places with many people tending to their deceased loved ones. One of the lovely people that has stayed in my mind was a wobbly elderly lady tending to good old dad. She was unable to help me, but as these encounters can go, we struck up a lovely conversation about everything.
When it was to time leave I noticed she had difficulty standing up from where she sat and with that I helped her up. She made sure I knew here mobility issues began when her cousin backed over her with an ice cream truck. And now you know the rest of the story.

They expose that all by themselves. Trump is an extraordinary leader and if you can't see that then you are willfully blind.
He "waltzed" in because he is smart, he made it look easy because he stood firm and never wavered, despite all the "smart" people on our side continually knowing better than he does about every single thing he should do.

No, they hate him because the purpose of DC for decades and decades has been to make them rich and lord it over people and the funds for that have to come from the people. It was never their intention to do anything good or solve anything. Trump shows the public that by example, especially this term where he is no longer beholden to any established political cabal

This was a Colorado state appeals court, and the "honey" lawyer was for the *prosecution*. They were arguing something about where under the law, a sexual assault could be broken up into multiple acts, and therefore trigger more penalties, or was it just one single act.
So, this was bad for the state, not a defendant, but yeah, with something this bad, looks like time for a do-over, different judge, and certainly a different state lawyer.

I look at it as though it's all true. He is a great leader, and he isn't at all dumb. Not in the fake Whiz Kid number crunching Smarter Than Everyone Here bullshit way. More in the old school bronze age no nonsense general way.
Carve through the bullshit. Simplify every problem to its core. Strip away the confounding variables, and then set things up so that the most of the possible outcomes are acceptable, if not awesome, for you.
Then, pile back on a dump truck full of obfuscating squid ink and nonsense and let your enemies lose their minds while nature takes its course.
And when at all possible, do everything right out in plain sight. It's like a kind of controlled chaos.

I think mainly what we know was President Trump's summary on X. And some reporting from 'Iranian sources' that yeah, there's a ceasefire.
It seems like Iran is supposed to stop first (at a time that's a little muddled to us at the moment), and six hours after that Israel will stop, but who knows what precisely they all agreed to.

If Iran, or Pakistan, etc. ever delivered a nuke via a container ship, it is NOT going to explode at a harbor in Arkansas or Oklahoma. It is probably going to LA or NYC.
If they do manage to send an ICBM with dubious targeting capabilities, they aren't aiming for a low population density Red state.

He was a Democrat so he tended to try to give away the store to get results but he was still hated by the Palestinians . He was accused here in the States of being part of the Israeli lobby and is in fact part of a Pro-Israel think tank. But just another failure of trying to split the baby.

1. Negotiations were supposed to restart today, but I haven't heard any news of them if they did.
2. Proving they still have a little bit of fight in them, the Ukrainians were able to recapture a village in the northeast (Sumy) area. The Russians had abruptly stopped advancing in this area about a week ago.
3. The Ukrainian High Command announced a reorganization of the Army into a "Corps" structure, for better offensive capabilities. At this point, deck chairs on the Titanic come to mind.

I don't begrudge the Los Angeles sourcunt or her faggy cuck boyfriend their request for Iran to nuke my state.
In fact, I specifically requested for Donald Trump to deploy massive ordnance strikes on my former home city of Denver just today. I'll go ahead and roll California and a few other states (you know who you are) into that request right now.
Let's get it out in the open. You want me dead, I want you dead, blah blah fuckin' blah.
There's no healing this. It's time to go out separate ways. Or, ya know, the thing.

AOP,
I have also had that problem for about 30 years.
I can now recognize it most of the time on my own. Start to feel just a bit "woozy". I then take my pulse on my throat. When I am throwing PVCs, I will either feel; lump, lump, lump, pause; or lump, lump, lump, faint lump, faint lump.
I too am usually dehydrated. But salt also helps in my case. I keep a bottle of Gatorade and a little package of peanut butter crackers in the truck at all times, and that usually takes care of the problem.
I have also had it occur when I get a mild upper respiratory virus.

Thanks! Yeah, "woozy" precisely describes how I feel when I am having an episode. I was in a chair in the ER, having an initial BP and EKG reading, and my heart rate was 34, and I was feeling the chest pressure. As I watched, heart rate went up over 50, and the chest pressure vanished, just like turning off a switch. I now have a much better understanding of what is going on. Had two blood draws, both tested negative for that heart attack marker.

It's not over with my brother. His daughter will get into Spokane late tonight and I need to help her get his house cleaned up.

So this is bizarre. Not sure that last Iranian missile attack was after the buzzer, but I think so. 8 dead so far in Israel - but not sure it's from that last attack, or the one just prior.
So Israel has 3.5 more hours to party over Tehran? Huh? I'm sure we'll learn more, but many aspects of this are weird. Also, so far, AFAIK, not a word about the *terms* of the ceasefire, or what follows. More talks?

Varus had his first bath here today. He took things very well, even having his nails ground. His coat is very dry and straw-like, maybe from his previous food or the shampoo used on him up to now.
But we'll get him in shape. I like him more and more. He's a big, genial boy who has been a perfect gentleman.

There was this gal at work that brought a heater in but she didn't understand which way to point it and had it backwards facing my chair instead of hers. It was under a shared table and I didn't even see it but like around late morning I was sweating, thought I was running a fever or something. I finally noticed it when I got up and realized it was only hot at my chair. She was always a bit kooky.

Tucker Carlson: It’s worth pointing out that a strike on the Iranian nuclear sites will almost certainly result in thousands of American deaths at bases throughout the Middle East, and cost the United States tens of billions of dollars. The cost of future acts of terrorIsm on American soil may be even higher. Those aren’t guesses. Those are the Pentagon’s own estimates. A bombing campaign against Iran will set off a war, and it will be America’s war. Don’t let the propagandists lie to you.

Oh my fuck that is some high level mealy-mouthed obfuscation from the Peace in Our Time brigade. This is the U.S.'s one chance maybe *ever* to take care of business against the chief jihad sponsor in the world, and when Trump proves detractors and Monday Morning QB's wrong AGAIN, will they come forward and admit it, or will it just be more crap?
BTW, it takes a *lot* for me to back military action from our dumbass fuckface country again, I could honestly give a shit whether the world fucking burns at this point as the West climbs into a giant Europe Shaped burka and commits suicide - however, the "lot" this time is Trump, he is our chance. God spared him for a reason and for all we know this is it.
This isn't covid with him obviously backed into a political corner full of unknowns an election year by enemies foreign and domestic, this is more like every other time all the "experts" have voxplained why Trump is obviously dumb or wrong and it turns out he is not.

FYI - the MOP's body is said to be Eglin Steel.
Eglin steel (ES-1) is a high-strength, high-performance, low-alloy, low-cost steel, developed for a new generation of bunker buster type bombs, e.g. the GBU-57 and improved version of the GBU-28 bomb known as EGBU-28. It was developed in collaboration between the US Air Force and the Ellwood National Forge Company.
The development of Eglin steel was commissioned to find a low-cost replacement for strong and tough but expensive superalloy steels such as AF-1410, Aermet-100, HY-180, and HP9-4-20/30. A high-performance casing material is required so the weapon survives the high impact speeds required for deep penetration. The material has a wide range of other applications, from missile parts and tank bodies to machine parts.
At room temperature, ES-1's yield (tensile strength before deformation) is 193,900 psi (1,337 MPa)!

I don’t think they are being given that opportunity ; I think they have already suffered a fatal blow. But it’s going to take a bit of time, these things don’t happen suddenly. Better for to stay out of the way, take no casualties and spectate while the regime crumbles and finally crashes. But the Iranian people must do that on their own.

I'm starting to look at this mess as a whole bunch of good enough options no matter what.
1) The regime collapses on its own and the people form a decent modern republic in its wake
2) The regime hangs on but is so brutally repressive the people rise against it and kill them Romania style
3) The regime hangs on but is so cowed and craven that they no longer pose a threat and no longer can be as repressive against their people as they would like
4) The regime lashes out and Operation Bye Bye Fucknuts commences with no illusions about the regime continuing to exist.
Any one of those could work. It's starting to take some real creativity to come up with scenarios that look bad. The only plausible bad outcome I can really think of is the US and Israel running out of ordinance and having to actually invade, against a general population who is willing to stand by their mullahs in spite of their shittiness. A lot of dumb shit would have to happen for that to be the outcome, though, and so far that kind of "dumb shit" doesn't seem to be on the menu anymore under new management.

I doubt this, simply because Israel has said they’ve already hit all of their high priority targets, and now they’re just bombing IRGC bases and other targets of opportunity. So they’re fine with standing down, especially knowing that they can pick right back up if Iran gets stupid and breaks the peace.

Now, they've backed off that claim and now they are saying Trump's unConstitutional effort are incidental to the outcome. Didn't matter at all. And, this is all very complex and details are not done and the State Department experts really haven't solved the issue yet. Plus, the only reason not to impeach Trump is because no one wants to see JD Vance as President.

Persian-flavored "Zionism".
Bring back the Persian Diaspora. Welcome Iranian families from abroad back to their homeland. Let them bring their skills and their sanity back to the land their parents fled, and build back their life as Persians in Persia.
That would go a very long way towards dampening out the rise of any new iteration of the Islamic Republic.
Granted, that would just risk importing the gross Globohomo pedocult to take its place. But, you know, you gotta take risks I guess.

I think it might be worth considering that for the first time in a very long time we have a very good businessman who would rather do deals than just about anything and he knows how win them.
Deals are about leverage and Trump has all of it right now, pretty much around the world not just in Iran. That's what the tariffs were about. That's what the trip to the UAE, Saudi and Qatar was about and that's what the strikes on Iran were about.
All of the experts have been wrong about all of them so far. Trump might be loud and egotisical but he's also pretty damn smart and good at deal making and he's dealing with people who by and large aren't. A lot of people have told me over the years that government isn't business. True. But business isn't government either.
Trump knows how to make deals that benefit us. America First. I haven't felt this good about where we are in geopolitics in a long time. Maybe ever.

The B2 is 35 years old. We've had an overwhelming military advantage over everyone for decades and our leaders on both sides of the aisle have either surrendered or squandered our advantage. Trump knows how to use power and it's great to see.
I trust him to make deals to our advantage. He's not perfect, he will make mistakes. But he is going to push our interests way past where they have been in decades.

way off topic...to Texas Morons
did y'all see where Paxton was acquitted of the original Colin County lawsuit drummed up by 'Texans For Lawsuit Reform' back in 2015? I missed it but I've kept up with it as best I could during the fiasco from the previous legislative session.
The cause that Colin County dropped the case was because the three Houston shyster/lawyer's original bill for an estimated $30k to try the cause ballooned to over $500k and Colin County refused to pay it and dropped it. Those three runts are the ones that tried to keep it alive and even tried to move it the Houston/Harris County.
Kent Schaffer, Brian Wice and Nicole DeBorde followed Karl Rove's plan following Paxton's 2014 win for AG.

My belief all along, in spite of what's been said, is that Trump never approved of Israel's bombing in the first place, and that it is VERY possible his actions since then have been to allow Israel and Iran to "save face," while stepping in and basically saying "Daddy's home, so you two knock if off before I knock it off for you."
I'm less concerned about Iran complying than I am Israel.

As most here know, I believe US troops are way too deployed in way too many bullshit military actions...

The Iranian mullahs and Revolutionary Guard have been needing a a$$-whipping courtesy of Uncle Sam for decades. They have been permitted to kill and wound thousands of Americans with impunity ... until now.

That is ideal, but unrealistic. We are a superpower. It isn’t really just a cool movie line, it’s true - with great power, comes great responsibility. And maybe selfishly, I want the world to be scared to death of us, because I don’t want to fight anyone domestically, thank you very much. I don’t want war here. So sometimes that means war over there. We just have to be serious about it and not half booty it on the rare occasion it needs to be done.

Yes, because there are other explanations than "Trump sold us out"
He may have caved to the Neocons in the GOPe who were holding back the OBBB until he did something on Iran
He may have caved to Israel, after telling them he had to have 60 days to make peace deal which the Mullahs nixed.
He may have gotten information that Iran was enriching Uranium to sell to . . . I dunno, something like the Israelis and the South Africans brewing up their own bombs in the 90's, mayby Iran and the PDRKorea had worked up a plan to sell nukes on ebay
but we don't know and you take for granted it is for the worst reasons.

I think that the Jews, even if LBJ asks them to do so, should not bomb American ships or send Epstein to gather blackmail files on US Senators.
A true blue friend and true innocent would not do those. I still haven't forgotten that SA sent 19 of their citizens to the Towers.

I'm as big a Trump fan as there is, but blind faith in this announcement makes no sense. It's cause for optimism - apparently SOMETHING is going on, and something that's probably GOOD - but it raises more questions than it answers.

I’ll wait for the details. Any “deal” that lets the Mullahs and IRGC stay in charge isn’t a “deal”. Nor is it the unconditional surrender we were told was coming. It’s a sellout swapping nukes for the continued jihad against our country. It’s a failure to fully pursue what needed to be done.

Trump Thanks Iran for Giving Him Advanced Warning About Their "Very Weak" Missile Attack
Update: Trump Announces Agreement to Ceasefire and End of the "12 Day War"
I wondered earlier if Iran had actually warned Qatar (and thus the US) that it would be attacking their bases. I had a memory which I wasn't sure was accurate that they had warned Israel last year before launching some Make It Look Good missiles.
Trump lets the cat out of the bag and reports that Iran gave Qatar advanced warning:

I’m proud that Democrats:
✅ Passed the first gun safety law in 30 years.
✅ Invested billions in mental health, housing, and clean energy.
✅ Cut child poverty, capped insulin costs, and forgave student loan debt.
But let’s be honest: Our party is in TROUBLE.
Right now, Democrats are deeply unpopular — especially with young people. Many of our leaders have lost touch with the urgency this moment demands."

Let's pretend you're right. Do you think you can "stop Iran from getting nukes" if you let the same Islamic goat-fuckers that have threatened our destruction for 46 years continue to control the country?
Or is it more likely that you can blow everything to smithereens and YET if you leave the Islamic goat-fuckers in charge they'll simply use their remaining meager or not so meager oil proceeds to start grinding away again at both nuclear enrichment and a delivery device (which could be used with a weapon that another nation slipped them)?

It's about the only language the Muslim mind can understand. Humiliation is the ultimate insult, normally answered by the sword, but when you are powerless to retaliate, that just makes it worse. The Iranian government needs to be BROKEN in the worst way. It's the only way they will surrender.

For Iran, it's pretty damned close to a surrender. They agree to stop shooting missiles at Israel; they have no more Air Force left, not much of a Navy left, most of their missiles are either used up or destroyed, most of their weapons production facilities have been destroyed, and oh yeah, they lost their nuke program.
On the other side, Israel is stronger than ever. Iran's insistence on shooting at civilian targets meant that Israel's military capabilities never got touched.

One of the problems with maintaining "states within a state" is that the external entities resent the elite ones.
Thus: The Romanian Army sided with the people in 1989 and were able to overwhelm the Securitate.
I wonder if the Iranian regular forces will make a similar decision. It's got to be tough to be a regular Iranian military officer, conscious of a glorious military tradition being squandered by this numb-nut zealous who always lose.

And they blew up the Revolutionary Guards' main base, though I can't imagine any of these cowards were present.
No, but their records of dissidents are probably there, and I imagine their wiretap terminations, radio direction finding equipment etc. So even if they manage to stay in power, they will have a tougher time rolling up the dissident networks, since they'll have to basically start from scratch.
On the flip side, if the dissidents take over it makes it more difficult for them to search out the moles and informers.... the ones that weren't flaunting their power that is.

Yeah, blocking the Strait was the last big card the Ayatollah's had left to play. I kinda love the way that it ended - all these middle eastern countries, especially Iran, love these huge rambling bragging statements full of nonsense whenever they say anything. For my taste, I think even Trump says a bit too much most of the time, but that's his style.
But this morning, Xi heard about Iran threatening to close the Strait, and he just looked over at Iran and said "Don't even think about it." That was all.
And Iran fell all over itself saying "we're sorry, we're so sorry, never mind, forget we said anything about it."

I think it was in the previous Trump admin. Iran retaliated the same way - lobbed a few missiles at a US base, secretly informed the US ahead of time, no casualties. Just a face-saving stunt.
To predict what happens in the Straight of Hormuz, just look at what happened when the Houtis, sponsored by Iran, tried to stop sea lanes through the Red Sea (and therefore the Suez Canal).
All the talk of WWIII, or another "forever war" has been nonsense from the start. A Globalist wet dream.
Side note: I hear that Iran actually has recently completed a railway to China that it can use to transport oil.

Iran is an energy exporter. The idea that they must have nuclear energy when they are awash in hydrocarbons is absurd, and always has been.

The history up until now has certainly been discouraging.
But this was the end of a 40+ year war, not the beginning of one.
I've been optimistic about this outcome for some time, and now I'm going to go one further - with Iran removed as chief troublemaker, and Iraq neutralized, and Syria turned into nothing, and Hezbollah tamed - the entire middle east is going to get more peaceful than we have seen in our lifetimes. Even Gaza - with Hamas losing all of their lifelines, that situation will be over quite soon now. Don't know how it will shake out, but Hamas won't be running it.

The Israelis were degrading the military the regime is using to stay in control. A cease fire stops that process and also stops the systemic takedown of key players in the IRGC. That means any effort to change the regime also stops.
To be clear, the main problem wasn’t the nukes. It’s a regime that sees destruction of the West and Israel as a theological pillar.

I could almost read it the other way around.
This is the real "face saving" for the mullahs, if that's what they needed. No risible limp dick missile launch you DM'd ahead to warn about. No talk of surrender or victory, winning or losing, just a dull, boring "OK, it's over now. Everyone stop blowing shit up."
And if the mullahs stay in power but leave everyone else the fuck alone for a hot minute, then Mission Accomplished. Regime change really isn't our business if the regime at least pretends to not be murder hungry shitheads anymore.
Now we see where it goes from here. Like i said, cease fire holds? Great. Cease fire broken? Also great. That's strategerizing, right there.

Indeed. The highly enriched uranium must still be there somewhere, the facilities can be rebuilt, new scientists trained or hired.
It's just buying more time, unless the regime is taken out.
I'm sure Trump and Israel are aware of all that. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. They also know there's a danger of some Globalist future POTUS undoing everything if they don't get a permanent solution now.

We had that ability all along. We’ve also been moving SF in and out of the country and their ports. That isn’t the problem.
I have the same concern. We’ve gone down this road and once we made that decision, you need to end this the right way. I’m a little less sanguine about this until I hear more details. Unless there is new leadership this just kicks the can down the road. Again.

I don't doubt a lot of them did. We didn't care and put them to work rebuilding their country.
But the parallel is the same. Hirohito was the spiritual and legal head of Japan, and we left him in place because it benefited us. The Ayatollah, if he's alive or the current government could do the same thing.
Actually, I think we did the same thing to Italy's king.

did y'all see where Paxton was acquitted of the original Colin County lawsuit drummed up by 'Texans For Lawsuit Reform' back in 2015? I missed it but I've kept up with it as best I could during the fiasco from the previous legislative session.
The cause that Colin County dropped the case was because the three Houston shyster/lawyer's original bill for an estimated $30k to try the cause ballooned to over $500k and Colin County refused to pay it and dropped it. Those three runts are the ones that tried to keep it alive and even tried to move it the Houston/Harris County.
Kent Schaffer, Brian Wice and Nicole DeBorde followed Karl Rove's plan following Paxton's 2014 win for AG.

It doesn't seem to be like Ukraine, where they just want to resupply to fight some more. No help seems to be coming for Iran.
Maybe the commenters here are saying they're giving the regime a chance to save their own lives by escaping - abandoning the country. So, regime change!

Ukes have a similar situation, a war they can't win and the Russians will just grind them town by town as far as they want to go. Russia is less willing to flatten everything since they intend to use it themselves or in a client buffer state between them and 'free Ukraine' wherever that is.
We have puffed Ukraine up that the government thinks it can steal a few more billions but the result is clear.

I don't disagree with your assessment, but it's not really the same situation in the sense I mean. Ukraine can certainly keep shooting at the Russians, even if their cause is misguided and hopeless.
But Iran can only really attack Israel with land-based missiles, and their ability to do that is getting very limited. Israel, in contrast, can launch air attacks with impunity, and their military supplies of weapons, etc, seem to be fairly safe.

Shooting back doesn't give you a victory. If Iran armed their people with crossbows and shot in the air it similarly would not change the situation. Iran can resist inland forever, and Israel and the US can not make them stop. But there will be more destruction and death only on their side until it ends.

Democrats Call for Trump's Impeachment Over Iran Bombing, Refuse to Explain Why They Previously Supported Obama and Hillary Clinton Bombing Muslim Countries Without Congressional Authorization
AOC hit the stupid wall at birth, but now she's hitting the looks wall at about 170 mph.
I don't think this bozo is going to be able to command attention based only on the quality of her thinking.Progressive champion Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a handful of other Democrats quickly floated the prospect of impeaching President Donald Trump for launching a military strike on Iran without Congressional authorization. "The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers," the four-term congresswoman from New York wrote on social media Saturday night, soon after the president announced the attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. Ocasio-Cortez charged that Trump "has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."If Rand Paul and Thomas Massie want to demand congressional authorization, that's fine. They demand congressional authorization for both Democrat and Republican military actions. But I won't hear it from this crew:
Democrat Rep. Sean Casten of Illinois also argued that the president's order to bomb Iran's nuclear sites without seeking Congressional approval could be considered an "unambiguous impeachable offense." Casten, a four-term representative whose district covers southwestern Chicago and surrounding suburbs, wrote Saturday night on social media that "this is not about the merits of Iran's nuclear program....to be clear, I do not dispute that Iran is a nuclear threat." But he highlighted that "no president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense."
"I'm not saying we have the votes to impeach," Casten added. "I'm saying that you DO NOT do this without Congressional approval." The calls for impeachment are the most visible, and furthest reaching, representation of the party's anger with Trump for taking unilateral action against Iran. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the top Democrat in the chamber, wrote that the president had "failed to seek congressional authorization for the use of military force and risks American entanglement in a potentially disastrous war in the Middle East." "Donald Trump shoulders complete and total responsibility for any adverse consequences that flow from his unilateral military action," Jeffries added in a statement. While the executive branch technically doesn't have the legal authority to order a foreign military attack without the approval of Congress, previous presidents, including Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Trump during his first term, launched comparable military actions in Libya, Sudan, Afghanistan and Iran.
Some are wondering if Trump will get a poll boost out of this. I think he will, and not just because he did something good. I think he'll get a poll boost because more Americans will wake up and see that no matter what Trump does, the Democrat-Media Party will find some disgracefully partisan way to attack him. I think their obsessive-compulsive viciousness will become apparent to more people, and more people will actually see Trump as sympathetic, besieged constantly by nasty, stupid, incompetent lunatics.
All of this venting reveals very short memories on the port side of Capitol Hill. Fourteen years ago, they couldn't get enough of presidential strikes on a nation in the very same region. Remember Hillary Clinton's chortling over the fall of Moammar Qaddafi and the role she and Barack Obama played in it? "We came, we saw, he died," she raved to Leslie Stahl after a joint US-EU bombing campaign decapitated Qaddafi's regime, and left a failed state in its wake... In March 2011, Obama ordered a series of military strikes on regime targets in Libya, not because of a clear and present danger to US security or assets, but because of a "responsibility to protect" doctrine promoted by Samantha Power. The Qaddafi regime was brutally suppressing dissent at the time, as Qaddafi had done for decades, but Qaddafi had also cooperated with the West on nuclear non-proliferation. Nevertheless, Obama and the Left wanted Qaddafi gone, and without going to Congress conducted military attacks with the express purpose of collapsing his regime in favor of the rebels in and around Benghazi -- a bitter irony, in the end. Obama never even bothered to formally report the action to Congress, as required under the War Powers Act, with the lame excuse that he ordered the strikes to support the action led by NATO. At the time, Harold Koh argued that the War Powers Act didn't apply because of the limited nature of the conflict -- which had been going on for three months at that point -- and the administration's interpretation of the word "hostilities" in the act. As long as US ground troops weren't involved, Koh argued, the president had full authority and no responsibility to notify Congress at all. Democrats then blocked a Republican effort to order the end of Obama's use of military assets in the operation.
Meanwhile, the Democrat-Media Party rallies for yet another fascist tyranny dedicated to the destruction of America:

I see it as an exact parallel to the very rapid shift in the zeitgeist discussed in the BBC thread. Once enough people point out the lunacy, there is a very strong preference cascade to a more sane position. The Dems haven't figure this out yet, and if they don't, they're looking at annihilation.

EVERY SINGLE military action since that date has been taken without war authorization.
And I'm not just talking about Obama's Actions, or Bush's actions, Clinton's bombings, but all the way back to Vietnam and Korea.
80 years of almost continuous military strikes, actions, battles, wars, bombings, etc. -- never once with a declaration of war.
Bay of Pigs Invasion? Nope?
Bombing Serbia in the '90s? Nope.
Vietnam War escalation by LBJ? Nope.
Etc. etc. etc. ad infinitum? Nope.
Posted by: zombie at June 23, 2025 05:00 PM
Yep, not even a vote on the "war on terror" after 9/11. congress just passed and bush signed the aumf which most definitely let's Trump do exactly what he did over the weekend without having to ask anyone for authorization.

Jonathan Turley has a piece out about this Congressional Authorization stuff vs. the Article II powers.
He believes POTUS needs approval for "offensive action", but as he points out, it's settled that he doesn't. He argued the case back during the Libya attacks during Barky and Hillary "we came, we saw, he died" action brought by some congresscritters then.
He lost that case. It's settled law, as they say.

Trump 47 is more of a challenge with Ukraine and all, but solving the Iran problem is a very big deal -- The last real win the USA had was the fall or USSR.
Worse for the Left, he seems to be making headway on Ukraine. Or, at least people are coming around to his position that it is unwinable based on their current definitions of victory and that it was a massive screwup to let it start.

The War Powers Act doesn't require prior Congressional approval, only that POTUS must NOTIFY Congress of the use of military force. And it also puts a 60 day time limit on that use of force without Congressional approval.
Wiki:
"The War Powers Resolution requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30-day withdrawal period, without congressional authorization for use of military force (AUMF) or a declaration of war by the United States."

Authorization for Use of Military Force of 2001
The Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF; Pub. L. 107–40 115 Stat. 224) is a joint resolution of the United States Congress which became law on September 18, 2001, authorizing the use of the United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the September 11 attacks.
Since its passage in 2001, U.S. presidents have interpreted their authority under the AUMF to extend beyond al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan to apply to numerous other groups as well as other geographic locales, d

Game theory based on Cordocet's work. Basically when you have more than a binary choice, the least preferred candidate can win quite often. Ranked choice voting makes it worse and this is intentionally so the Uniparty assholes can retain office with a plurality or less of votes rather than a majority.

He then turns around and takes nukes off the table with Iran.
The most important war in the world, Ukraine and Russia, has been relegated to the back burner, and, in fact, it's possible a diplomatic solution may be reached over the next few months.
Then there is real wage and job growth at home with the trade deficit being reduced and money coming in from tariffs. Bilateral trade agreements being worked out in what appears to be record time. Inflation appears to be tamed.
No wonder the left is screaming hysterically at the Next Big Thing! President Trump have a ton of success, which means they've got nothing other than histrionics.

See Arrow's Impossibility Theorem. Basically, for a "group choice function", there is no system that can be perfectly "rational" (defined in a certain way) even if all individual actors of the group are rational.
So, that sets off an attempt to find the best such choice function (ie voting system).
My conclusion about all this is the Two-Party system is the best. Present the public with a binary final choice, and have all the messy disputes in either of the two parties. This time around, it was MAGA taking over the RINOs, war inside the Republican Party.

The most recent Berkeley Mayor election in Nov. 2024 is a good example of that. In the first round of counting, Sophie Hahn was leading with 53% of the vote over two also-rans, but then (just as in Philadelphia and other corrupt precincts) late ballots "trickled in" throughout the night and someone magically were ALL against her, until she was just under 50% for an outright victory. So then they defaulted down to counting "ranked choice" votes, and somehow the third-place candidate, a complete random nobody that had` practically zero name recognition and a failed non-campaign somehow managed to get elevated past the other also-ran and also past the frontrunner with impossible-to-deciper "ranked choice" calculations, and now this random nobody is the new mayor. It's completely absurd and corrupt.

Many of these "better voting systems" boil to down to choosing consensus. Pick the option that pisses off the least number of people.
Now, that is the best if the group choice is something like, say what should the menu be for our annual convention.
When it's important, life and death choices that have to be made, that consensus sucks. You have to "roll the hard six". If a bare majority can be found for a binary choice, that's better than a "piss off the least number of people" choice.

Looking at the last German election, you see the absolute folly of multi-party, proportional representation schemes. The last govt was the most ineffectual and hated yet. So they vote. Result, and even more ineffectual and useless govt.
Had first past the post (which has Arrow problems big time) been used, the Bundestag would've been well over 90% CDU/CSU and AfD. The leftoid and green parties would've been nothing.
But no, AfD bad, so we get a coalition even worse the previous one.

Why do you like Trump ? Let me help you. Because he's not a Carter, Obama, Clinton ... or a fucking Bush or Reagan.
That was the choices we were given - while Reagan signed EMTALA and ushered in the first crack to Social Medicine ... and "W" decided we were going to occupy the Middle East to spread Democracy.
And that's just the Republican Presidents.
We ... for those of us that are not Rock Ribbed Republicans ... never get a choice. Other than the two insiders that control DC and curate our choices.

Prior notification is actually not required even under the War Powers Act and has not been the general rule apart from major deployments. WPA requires informing Congress within 48 hours of deploying troops.
FWIW, Truman took the US to war in Korea citing a UN resolution as justification because the US was treaty bound to help the UN Security Council implement its resolution on Korea (Soviets were absent protesting some ruling day of the vote).

"Group choice" is untenable in many circumstances. It's why a ship needs a captain, a dictator, one man who makes the call. A committee would be a disaster.
Same with war. War by committee is awful. That was the Founder's idea of a unitary executive to execute. Committee makes the laws, but a captain executes them.

It is an info op. Dem gaslighting. In their alternate universe, Trump always loses, but the media hides it. (Yes, apparently CNN and MSNBC do not exist in this universe.)
Thus Trumps wins are actually losses, and he never wins anywhere because each "win" is a concession or something.
It's designed to keep the most delusional cat ladies on the reservation. No one else buys it.

As I recall, stock traders originated the term. It was their advice to not sell when stocks go down after Trump announces a hefty tariff, and buy the dip shortly afterward. Because Trump always chickens out and reduces or cancels the hefty tariff. Then stocks were bouncing back quickly.

Proportional Representation is evil, because those reps were not elected by anyone and have to real people to even pretend to represent. In theory, a district can kick out an asshole rep. This way a nutcase can get a seat from crazies all over the nation.
The EU, not surprisingly has the worst system yet. When your proportional vote gets you a seat, you get assigned to a political party automatically. Good thing the legislature there does nothing and has no power.

BBC Presenter Corrects the Woke Script Written For Her, Clarifying That "Pregnant People" Means, Obviously, Pregnant Women
This is actually a major breakthrough, insanely enough.
One employee of the BBC actually Believes In the Science (TM) and is willing to share it with the public. Huzzah. Note that a presenter had previously been disciplined for accurately stating that a "transgender woman" who won a chess tournament was, in fact, a male. But now the BBC is sensing the public's growing hostility to woke lies, and is said to be supporting the presenter's brave use of simple honesty.BBC bosses have backed a television presenter who corrected the phrase "pregnant people" to "women" while broadcasting live, in what has been welcomed as a rejection of gender-neutral language. Martine Croxall, 56, was citing a study about protecting vulnerable people in hot weather and, after reading out the report's phrasing, immediately rolled her eyes and changed the wording to "women". "Malcolm Mistry, who was involved in the research, says that the aged, pregnant people ... women ... and those with pre-existing health conditions need to take precautions," she said. JK Rowling was among those to support the presenter, calling Croxall "her new favourite BBC presenter" on X, and the former Wimbledon champion Martina Navratilova also backed her. Croxall added: "A huge thank you to everyone who has chosen to follow me today for whatever reason. It's been quite a ride." She has gained almost 50,000 followers on the social media platform since the incident on Sunday afternoon. BBC bosses are also understood to have been "intensely relaxed" about the wording amid concerns from some staff that Croxall may have faced disciplinary action.
Last year Justin Webb, a presenter of Today on Radio 4, was found to have partially breached BBC guidelines over the way in which he described a transgender woman in a debate about chess. Webb was told that he was at fault for describing the transgender woman as "in other words, male" during a debate in August 2023 about guidelines issued by the international chess federation about whether men have an advantage in the game. But the BBC's position appears to have shifted since Webb was sanctioned.
Following Sunday's broadcast, bosses are understood to have checked in with Croxall in a supportive way. "It's a real cultural moment," said one fellow BBC presenter, who said that there is a groundswell of support internally for using "honest language".

He's basically got two paths he can take: the usual third world thing of seizing power and ruling as some form of unitary dictatorship, which means he'll be largely forgotten to history in 20 years, probably even less. Known as just another third world shit-head in a world overpopulated with shit-heads.
Or the Juan Carlos route you mention, where he takes over as head of state, a cultural and moral national leader, but with virtually no day to day power. If he does that and succeeds at inspiring the Persian people to build a peaceful and free regime in Iran, his name will ring out in history for centuries as one of the greatest Persians ever to walk the earth. He may not be inclined this way, but that's the way to sell him on the idea, and it might just save his homeland.

There's a woman on YT that does shorts about "embracing gender differences". Mostly, it's shots of women saying "anything men can do, wwe can do better", followed by either men doing things women manifestly can't do, or women trying to do them and completely screwing things up.

This is where the complete lack of any competent leadership is going to kill them. The few rational democrats left, and especially the donor class, realize they're dancing off a cliff here, but there's no one with the influence or reach to stop them. And thus the worst, most radical elements of the left will still drive them, because they've got all the energy and make all the noise.
Contrast to the Republican side - just watch how Trump, being in charge, is stamping his own image and views onto the party. If you don't like it, get out.

They get a lot more weapons from us (through their purchasing contracts) since 10/7. They seem to have boxed in Hamas. They only really need aircraft and missiles to do the damage they're doing.

The problem for Israel is that Iran has shown no sign of ending missiles attacks despite opportunities to do so. So, eventually, you come to the conclusion that any ceasefire will end up with the Iranians restocking and rebuilding their missile program and figuring out new terror weapons to put on them.

Hi, Doc
If Israel just wanted to "punish the nation which supported Hamas," etc., it would turn off the lights; destroy the ports, etc.
Instead, I think Israel is attempting to lay the groundwork for regime change (I know I'm repeating myself), and that the really heavy lifting is perhaps/probably being done by the Mossad.
This is not original thinking on my part. There's a lot of speculation in the Israeli press about it.

Maher is an old style libertine pervert liberal in a party where white males with any testosterone have been neutered and cancelled. Even merely hinting like Hogg did that young guys want to have fun and get laid is controversial in that feminized party.

That sort of thing depends on a preference cascade which are always difficult to predict in advance but seem obvious after the fact.
Fair to say though that any love toward the regime from ordinary folks is gone but willingness of ordinary people to stand up and potentially get whacked by the regime's butt boys may not be present right now.
Waves of of massive nationwide protests in 2018 and again in 2022 as well as the Obama era Green Revolution in Iran have simply made the regime behave worse.

I expect that once the Israelis finish up with the IRGC and Targeted Hits on the Regime Leaders, the Israelis will go after the known Islamic Police HQs and then give the nod to the Iranian Opposition that it is safe to take to the streets.

Brett Cooper had a good take recently on why the feminists are trying to cancel Sabrina Carpenter (kneeling in front of a guy while he holds her hair on her new album cover, implying giving him a BJ) and Sydney Sweeney (putting drops of her bathwater into soap made by Dr. Squatch for eager stans to buy.) It's not about them being sexual. Madonna was sexual and not canceled, the WAP song was extremely sexual and Cardi B wasn't canceled. It's that they are allowing men to have FUN instead of just being passive, submissive objects only to pleasure women. Men get to be in on the fun and have just as much fun as the women do. In modern feminism, that's verboten.

Yeah, my appendix went sideways right around 29 (quarter century ago or so). No burst; I went in early, sensing something was off. Even as recently as the 70s or so it was apparently a significant surgery. I was back at work in less than a week.

When Iran became a major supplier of the jihadis in Iraq...and then actually ambushed and murdered some US soldiers some GOP types called for arming MEK, which was an insurgency in the SE parts of Iran as they aren't Persians and wanted independence.
The FNM, Dems, and Shrub also noted that MEK does bad things and therefore they couldn't support people that do bad things even if it would distract Iran from murdering Americans.

What if they sincerely said to Qatar "Yeah, we're launching a bunch of crap at the base in Doha, and we really can't aim these things worth shit, so, you know, heads up. Sorry in advance."
Would they really be dumb enough to think the Qataris wouldn't immediately tell America to swat everything down for them just in case? Was it really stupidity and desperation, and not some lame ass ploy at "saving face"?

Took centuries for Western culture after the Treaty of Westphalia to come to a Modus vivendi internally. Expecting ancient cultures to suddenly miss centuries of development and spring up as new democracies was always an idiotic notion. Politics is downstream from culture and even the ancient Greeks knew that democracies without agreed upon ground rules become deformed and transformed into oligarchies (aristocracies by other names) or despotisms (with or without a titular king).

The April 18, 2025, preliminary injunction of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, case No. 25–cv–10676, is stayed pending the disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, if such writ is timely sought. Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of the Court. Justice Sotomayor, with whom Justice Kagan and Jackson join, dissenting. (Detached opinion)"

As Turley points out, the Court considers this War Powers stuff a non-justiciable political question. IOW, they stay out of it completely.
If Congress wants to stop the President from conducting war, they can via the power of the purse. It's all on them vs the executive branch.

Iran Launches Six Missiles Towards US Base in Doha, Qatar
Trump warned Iran that if they retaliated against the US, his mission would change from destroying Iran's nuke program to destroying the government and its military leadership.
Iran launched six missiles towards our base at Doha. Reportedly, all were intercepted:Collin RuggWill this cause Trump to attack the regime directly? I don't know. I have a memory of Iran attacking Israel last year. I think people said that Iran had offered a token attack just to prove that the regime was still intact, but calculated it to be small enough so as to not provoke a substantial Israel attack. This might be the same thing.
@CollinRugg JUST IN: Qatar confirms that Iranian missiles launched toward U.S. Al Udeid Air Base were successfully intercepted. There are no reports of any damage or injuries. "We reassure that Qatar's air defenses successfully thwarted the attack and intercepted the Iranian missiles." "We call for the immediate cessation of all military actions and for a serious return to the negotiating table and dialogue."

If Trump doesn't feel like retaliating, he should put out a tweet saying he'll retaliate if Iran attacks. When someone points out the 6 missiles, he should say "That was an attack? Seriously?"
Posted by: Archimedes at June 23, 2025 02:35 PM (Riz8t)
This smells of the same thing. You don't tell your opponent you are about to attack them unless you want the attack to not lead to retaliation, but you have to have something to crow about on state run media.
Posted by: the lower depths at June 23, 2025 02:35 PM (+b4rY)

Yup.
It was another huge promise of destruction. Something like a few dozen missiles, almost all of which Israel intercepted, and Iran went quiet afterwards.
And that was with Iran's leadership intact, its missile launchers not destroyed, and the Ayatollah not needed to hide away.

Agreed. A thing that may be hard to accept in our culture, but the Iranian leadership how has a huge religious problem. In all the branches of Islam, events happen because they are blessed by Allah, or they fail because Allah has condemned them to failure. The Iranian leadership no longer has the Blessing of Allah - they have lost a war to the dirty Jews, of all people!!! and they have no way to argue themselves out of that position. Probably why they are working so hard to say that they really won.

They keep promising "devastation" that will "echo through the centuries," and they keep delivering weak-arm girl-slaps that miss entirely. Over and over. You;d think that the humiliation of promising more than you deliver would itself be enough to just stop, but for some reason they are suckers for punishment and just would shut up -- just keep threatening and threatening, and endlessly being proven to be castrated bullies.
Israel took out 95% of their ability to retaliate already. Really, if there is ever a time to just out an end to this regime, this is that moment. If we back off now, they'll just slowly start rebuilding and i ten years this will all have to be repeated.
Trump needs to speak directly to the various groups looking to overthrow the regime, and promise to back them ALL to the full, regardless of what the resultant new regime looks like.
Tell the Royalists, the communists, the Kurd separatists and the democracy-seekers that each and every one of them has immediate U.S. support and backing, and to all just go for it simultaneously. Don't care who wins. T]Let them work that out internally.

Less than a week ago, Iran was appealing to Qatar to put pressure on the US to create a ceasefire with Israel. Today they are launching missiles that got destroyed over Qatar's most important and largest city.
Iran is flailing. The removal of their Nuclear program in a cloud of dust destroyed their opportunity of a ceasefire with Israel because they had attempted to gain cooperation from Qatar, Oman and Saudi Arabia to pressure the US in that regard. Their bargaining chip was "being more flexible on their nuclear program." That's a nuclear program that no longer exists (and neither does that bargaining chip).

"Three Iranian officials said that Iran had given advance notice that attacks were coming, as a way to minimize casualties. The officials said Iran needed to be seen striking back at the United States, but in a way that allowed all sides an exit ramp."
In the same article it is asserted. The Israelis knew of this too:
"An Israeli official said that there was an early warning given by Iran about the attack, though the person did not say through which channel or to which country.
Make what you will of this or not.

Sub-hed: Nobody in 2028 will even remember what happened in 2025. All that matters will be the state of the economy in late October 2028.
I mostly agree, but the ads in '28 (and '26) will be a 30 second comparison of the Dems lying, retreating, and crying in the Senate, and then 30 seconds of Trump, the rate of inflation, and the destruction of Iran's nuke program. It'll be strong stuff, and something even the braindead can wrap the heads around.

Presumably these are newer and better than the ones in Kiev. But there one battery of those can fire 32 missiles and usually 2 interceptors are sent for every incoming shot. And the base likely has more than one battery.
Probability of a 'saving face' shot, even coordinated with the US -- high.

A friend of mine used to have an interesting foreign policy philosophy. Any country where the United States has to deploy US troops becomes US territory. France? Part of the United States. Germany? Part of the United States. Korea? Part of the United States.
I don't recall if we were going to have the option to refuse if it was a real shithole (for example, we wouldn't want Haiti, despite having had to intervene there several times).

I started listening to her during her "red pill black" era, when she was a refreshing early member of the left exodus, along with the #walkaway movement. She had great pop culture takes and was able to reframe conservative points for the black community in a way that was incredibly valuable.
Her current "the Jooos are bad" and "Macron's wife is really his father I have the receipts" era, is bizarre and pitiable. It's weird to see people do a complete 180 on sanity. It's not even a grifter thing, because what conservative commentator grifts on antisemitism? What audience is that? On the left, sure.

I take Trump at his word that he does not want to start any new wars. Yes, he hit Iran because they absolutely refused to stop enriching uranium and it was clear that they were determined to get nukes but I don't think he wanted to accomplish anything more than stopping that effort.
It's obvious now that Iran has been crippled by nearly 2 weeks off non-stop attacks from Israel including decapitating much of their military and nuclear teams. And they are painfully aware of what can be done to them if the continue to FA.
They send up a few missiles after warning everyone they were coming to save face. No harm, no foul. Unless they go full Leroy Jenkins I don't see Trump any more attacks.

Good question. I suppose one could argue that that's why they blew the access tunnels. Once those collapsed, little radiation is likely to escape. It's a tomb for the Iranian nuke program, and assuming the centrifuges broke apart, a highly radioactive death zone to enter.

I would not be surprised if they weren't already trying to start memory-holeing the fact that Iran even had an active nuclear program in the event that Trump did get involved in a drawn-out conflict. I don't think I'd need one full hand to come up with the full set of international organizations whose top priority in this whole thing isn't "how can we figure out how to use this against Trump?"

In part, "While many Democrats in Pennsylvania and across the U.S. are blasting President Donald Trump’s decision to launch air strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, U.S. Sen. John Fetterman yet again finds himself at odds with his party.
In fact, months ago Mr. Fetterman, one of the most vocal supporters of Israel on Capitol Hill, was already encouraging Trump to ditch the idea of negotiations with the Iranian regime, saying that he supported strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear development.
“As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by [Trump],” Mr. Fetterman said of this past weekend’s airstrikes, which followed a week of Israeli attacks on Tehran and the country’s nuclear facilities. “Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities. I’m grateful for and salute the finest military in the world.”

Eran is the Fars name for Iran. I think "Iran" is really the Arab name for it that the English adopted because "Eran" sounds too much like "Eireann" which is already taken by Ireland.
That's probably not what happened. But it sounds nice so I'm going with it.

I think Fetterman is doing his level best to show the rest of the Party the path away from electoral oblivion, but they're too stupid to see it. He's probably doing what Tulsi did: get on the record as showing sanity, then when it all comes crashing down, he's well positioned as a new leader of the party. Granted, Tulsi eventually changed parties, but I don't think that's Fetterman's plan.

CRS is a hidden jewel of information--these were basically designed as primers for Congress critters by very dedicated and objective team located in the Library of Congress. I strongly recommend looking for reports from them as a primary source on questions of policies, congressional rules, etc.
On esoteric subjects, I find primary sources much more useful if I have a question or need my memory refreshed about a specific item. Media and press releases by congress critters, on the other hand, are much less useful.

Which last time? The barrage against Israel? That was against Israel, and it was their call to retaliate or not. This was a strike against a US asset, after being strongly warned that any attack against a US asset would change the mission from "destroy the nuclear program" to "destroy the entire damn regime".
The fact that it might have been intentionally half-assed doesn't really change anything, in my opinion.

I'm sure no one here has considered the possibility Trump's strike on Saturday was a "face-saving" operation.
People are assuming it was a great success, because he said it was. It's entirely possible it did little or no damage to Iran's nukular capabilities.
In fact, what started out as a negotiation between Iran and the U.S. was sidetracked, for whatever reason, by whoever decided to sidetrack it, and it's possible... POSSIBLE, both the U.S. and Iran could be satisfied with an Iranian nukular program that only enriches enough and so far to provide them with energy needs.
And then everyone can go home and stop bombing each other, and we can all pretend it was a win. Which it would be... if it prevents a forever war and/or a nukular exchange.

Which last time? The barrage against Israel? That was against Israel, and it was their call to retaliate or not. This was a strike against a US asset, after being strongly warned that any attack against a US asset would change the mission from "destroy the nuclear program" to "destroy the entire damn regime".
The fact that it might have been intentionally half-assed doesn't really change anything, in my opinion.

I think what I'm thinking of was after the US took out that Iranian terrorist leader when he was in Iraq. (Solomeni?) They lobbed a few missiles at some US bases (in Saudi Arabia, maybe) and didn't hit anything on purpose.

Should Baptists be irritated likewise by LDS coming to their door trying to convert them?
Bringing up religious pet peeves simply reflects whatever the individual's viewpoint happens to be in regards to the Other.
Gray boxes are particularly useless in complicated theological discussions which LDS members as well as Baptists, Catholics, and others cannot expound at length as to differences and nuances in their own faith. Most people have never had a comparative religion course nor spent much time other than learning their own religions if any.

I don't know who remembers Force 10 from Navarone, where Harrison Ford and David Niven have to blow up some dam in the Balkans to stop the nasty Germans, but towards the end they set the explosives in the dam and think they're going to die, but it turns out that it takes a while for the dam to crumble and fail, so they have time to run away.
SO ANWAY.... that's where I'm thinking that Iran is right now. The regime is mortally wounded, but it's going to take a little while for all the pieces to start failing. When they do, there will be a cascade failure of everything, like happened in Syria last December. All we have to do now is back out of the way and let it fail.

Absurd. Pretty funny, though, suggesting that Iran is really just tryin to get nuclear power, and that with negotiation they would give up their ambitions regarding nuclear weapons. Iran is sitting on a giant pile of energy, and the regime wouldn't risk extinction if their goal was simply nuclear power.

Killebrew had a weird start to his career, he was what they called a "Bonus Baby," so they had to keep him on the roster for some assigned period of time, before he was really ready to play.
I don't know if he ever had more than a cup of coffee when the team was in Washington, and I believe he only started playing regularly after they moved to Minnesota.
That being said, the OTHER Senators team had a fella named Frank Howard, who was about as close to being a Harmon Killebrew type hitter as there was. For not as long though.

Qatar has a history of backing Ham Ass and being Iran's bestest Arab buddy in the region. Then, they also have hedged their bets by likewise inviting the US to set up a key base there in part to protect them against the Saudis. Basically, the emir and his Al Thani family play both sides against each other in true Arab fashion. The other primary emirates of Kuwait, Bahrain, and UAE side more with the Saudis and much less with the Iranians. Bahrain in particular is sensitive to Iranian subversion due to a substantial Shia population and thus Bahrain's Sunni Arab rulers chose to allow the US Navy to set up shop there as a hedge against being deposed. UAE in Dubai did something similar except with the USAF.

Posted by: BurtTC at June 23, 2025 03:43 PM (dGCAG)
Absurd also, to refer to actually ending a war that's been going on for 45 years as starting an "endless war". It's ending a de facto endless war. In fact, it would finally end most if not all all of the violence in the Middle East.
But the US isn't even doing it, at least not overtly. Israel is. And only regime change will really do the job.

Meanwhile, the Shah is holding press conferences and setting up a hotline to support defectors.
He's doing exactly what I predicted: using the King Juan Carlos playbook. He's setting things up for a transition to a democracy.
Will it work? Dunno, but maybe.
Posted by: Archimedes at June 23, 2025 02:46 PM (Riz8t)
He's basically got two paths he can take: the usual third world thing of seizing power and ruling as some form of unitary dictatorship, which means he'll be largely forgotten to history in 20 years, probably even less. Known as just another third world shit-head in a world overpopulated with shit-heads.
Or the Juan Carlos route you mention, where he takes over as head of state, a cultural and moral national leader, but with virtually no day to day power. If he does that and succeeds at inspiring the Persian people to build a peaceful and free regime in Iran, his name will ring out in history for centuries as one of the greatest Persians ever to walk the earth. He may not be inclined this way, but that's the way to sell him on the idea, and it might just save his homeland.

Other than technical intel (satellites, signal intercepts, etc), for the most part, US humint intel has sucked for a long time now. Israelis have sources on the ground that can put particular people in a place at a particular time to be killed. That requires human sources for the most part.
CIA has historically tended to discount humint and supported tech intel plus we were not as good as the Israelis (who in the 60's had their spy as Syria's Defense Minister for example) or even the British.
So we rely on tech intel and signal intercepts and/or the occasional defector which are susceptible to being incomplete or even wrong as was the WMD reports based on tech intel and emigre testimony in 2001.

I'm not sure how that follows. If I understand Baptist theology, they strongly believe works have nothing to do with one's salvation. One is saved by grace alone. If so, a Baptist calling me to repentance is philosophically incongruous. Why should I repent? If I am saved by grace alone, I'm good.
My statement wasn't a frustration over being proselytized. My statement was meant to point out the incongruity in the actions when compared with the belief.

Always drives me crazy. Fascism incorporates huge swaths of socialism into it. It was meant to be communist-lite - it was created for that exact purpose. Its main goal was to get big business and the church on board with socialism.
The communists realized the fascists were stealing their thunder, and likely to be much more successful, hence the eternal enmity between the two. They were muddling up the middle so to speak.

1) Negotiate for 60 days, saying this is your last chance.
2) On day 61 let Israel do what it does.
3) head fake about what we are going to do and when.
4) deliver the coup de grace to the nuclear program.
5) let the Israelis finish the job.
6) tell Iran it is unconditional surrender...or else. In other words, your negotiation position has deteriorated, pray don't let it deteriorate any further.
Nobody can legit say he's a war monger, when he gave them 60 days.
Next steps
1) Sink any Iranian asset that tries to close the straights.
2) Keep the Iranians talking, but each day make the terms slightly more onerous.

Turns Out, Trump Did Call Democrat Leaders Before the Strike.
Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries Was Just Too Busy to Pick Up the Phone.
Schumer did pick up the phone, but somehow did not leak advanced word to Iran.
CNN tried to stir controversy by reporting that while House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune were briefed ahead of time, Democrat leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries were only informed shortly before the public announcement, after the operation had already taken place. But as White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt explained on Fox News, this was nothing more than a misleading narrative designed to distract from a major American victory. Leavitt didn't just push back; she dismantled the lie piece by piece. "We did make bipartisan calls," Leavitt stated, setting the record straight from the outset. "Thomas Massie and the Democrats -- he should be a Democrat 'cause he's more aligned with them than with the Republican Party -- were given notice. The White House made calls to congressional leadership. They were bipartisan calls." The White House, contrary to the manufactured narrative, conducted its due diligence and reached out to leaders on both sides of the aisle. The administration's outreach efforts were comprehensive, but in a detail that speaks volumes, the top Democrat in the House was apparently unavailable to take a call of such national security importance. Leavitt revealed the specifics of the outreach, exposing the disingenuous nature of the complaints. "In fact, Hakeem Jeffries couldn't be reached," she explained. "We tried him before the strike and he didn't pick up the phone, but he was briefed after, as well as Chuck Schumer was briefed prior to the strike."As to Massie: Trump has declared war on him and will support a primary challenger.
President Donald Trump tore into Rep. Thomas Massie on Sunday, blasting the Kentucky congressman for siding with Democrats and opposing a decisive U.S. military operation that crippled three of Iran's most critical nuclear facilities. "Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky is not MAGA, even though he likes to say he is," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Actually, MAGA doesn't want him, doesn't know him, and doesn't respect him." Trump accused Massie of consistently opposing critical Republican policies and likened him to "Rand Paul, Jr." for his habit of voting no on major legislation. Trump blasted him as "a simple-minded grandstander" and said Massie was playing into Iran's hands by trying to block efforts to prevent the Islamic regime from acquiring a nuclear weapon. "Iran has killed and maimed thousands of Americans," Trump wrote. "This 'lightweight' Congressman is against what was so brilliantly achieved last night in Iran," referring to the military operation he authorized. On CBS's Face the Nation Sunday, Massie defended his position, stating, "We were tired of endless wars in the Middle East... we should have debated this war powers resolution instead of staying on vacation." He argued Congress should reclaim its constitutional authority over war decisions. Trump dismissed that argument outright. "Massie should drop his fake act and start putting America First, but he doesn't know how to get there -- he doesn't have a clue!" he said, adding that Massie is "disrespectful to our great military." The president ended the post with a vow: "The good news is that we will have a wonderful American Patriot running against him in the Republican Primary, and I'll be out in Kentucky campaigning really hard."

BREAKING: U.S. President Donald Trump is currently in the White House Situation Room, monitoring Iranian retaliation.

Elections, in the main, are largely "fortified," there may be less fortification in GOP locales, but it exists.
If Thomas Massies constituents are happy with his service and performance, he will be re-elected.
In 2024 he ran unopposed and got 99.6pct of the vote.
Typically, he beats primary and general opponents 3:1.
So, as they say, we shall see.

It's in the link the other commenter provided.
"Some of them think you blow it up in the House, you march Kevin back over to the White House and you put him back in the room with Biden and he comes out with something that’s miraculously better. I don’t think that’s the next step,” Massie told conservative media personality Glenn Beck. “I think what happens next is McConnell and [Chuck] Schumer say, ‘You guys are done playing around – we’re going to get this done.”
Which amounts to, "This is imperfect, but better than the alternative." Which is fine. but then he opposed Trump's imperfect as well.
Because principles.

He only grows a spine when there's a Republican in the Oval?
If we're all going to be held to true conservative principles always & forever, then can you explain why Massie didn't stick to his true conservative fiscal principles that are so important today?

I was speaking more to his broader view that Congress needs to claw back some of the war-making power, as opposed to placing so much of it in the executive's hands. In theory, I don't have a problem with that.
But yes, it's inarguable that Congress did pass this AUMF and that Trump did act within the letter of the law. That's where I get off the Massie train. (And also, the aforementioned "Israel lobby" remarks.)

Judging by the Iranians stage managed "attack" where they called the Qataris before shooting off missiles to warn them and none got through anywhere, I'd say the talk of a major war is as wrong now as ever.
But I would like some of you who keep insisting Trump should have done nothing when the terrorists who run Iran have been attacking and killing Americans for decades and were on the cusp of breakout with their enrichment plans would consider "American interest".
It's seems pretty weak to keep insisting that a country that has been calling for our death since 1979 and never stops trying to make it happen is not really a threat to the US and neither would them having nukes. Even if Iran didn't hit us directly and "only" hit Israel with a nuke we would definitely be in a real war with boots on the ground with nukes an option.

McConnell’s retirement stokes concerns Massie may run for Senate
The Republican Jewish Coalition pledged ‘unlimited’ spending to block Massie if he decides to run
In part, "Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) retirement, announced on Thursday, could open up a path for Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), among the most consistent opponents of legislation to support Israel and combat antisemitism in the House, to make a bid for the U.S. Senate in the 2026 midterms. The prospect is already generating fierce opposition from the local and national Jewish community."
And, "While Pell acknowledged that some in the Jewish community may not have voted for McConnell and have not always seen eye to eye with him on other issues, “there is no question of his willingness to stand up for Israel, his willingness to stand up against antisemitism, his consistent support for the Jewish community, his willingness to show up and speak to the Jewish community.”
2026 mid-terms are a ways off.

Agreed.
Also, everyone is overlooking the non-Iran message that is being sent.
To the bad actors around the world - No one is safe if you piss us off. The days of chanting threats without repercussions are over.
To China - Match that.
To Russia - Are you sure you want to trade threats with us
To China/Russia allies - where is your god now?

Is it? Iran has been directly, or indirectly, responsible for several hundred US deaths. Do they mean nothing? Do we permit them to continue ad infinitum? Iran has stated that they will use nuclear weapons against "the Satans". Do we wait until Tel Aviv or DC is gone before we act?
I oppose sending US ground troops to Iran. If, however, the Iranian government persists in being an antagonist, we should take actions to end it. If prior administrations had done that, rather than trying to introduce women's lib and homosexuality to Afghanistan and Iraq, maybe we wouldn't be in the position we're in.

There was a big industry in WWI in England of adjusting photos to add or isolate a son that didn't make it back.

@realDonaldTrump
Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the “N word” (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran? Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY. The “N word” should not be treated so casually. I guess that’s why Putin’s “THE BOSS.” By the way, if anyone thinks our “hardware” was great over the weekend, far and away the strongest and best equipment we have, 20 years advanced over the pack, is our Nuclear Submarines. They are the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built, and just launched the 30 Tomahawks — All 30 hit their mark perfectly. So, in addition to our Great Fighter Pilots, thank you to the Captain and Crew!
Medvedev did pretty much admit in his post that the ultimate aim for Iran was nuclear weapons.

What specifically was Massie's plan for dealing with Iran. The same as the last 40+ years? Keep kicking the can down the road putting out fires and tolerate the killing? Allow them to fully arm nuclear warheads to annihilate Israel and others? Wiping Israel off the map and death to America are not just chants to them - that is their objectives stated plainly.

Mamdani leads Cuomo in new poll. Mamdani finally surpasses Cuomo in the eighth round of the simulated ranked choice voting — 51.8% to 48.2%. This is the second poll showing Mamdani ahead of Cuomo, but the first showing him ultimately winning.
It is going to be 100 degrees in NYC tomorrow, so it may be up to who’s voters are more passionate as well as more able to suffer the heat.
there will be a lot of passion over his policies. Rent freezes, free child care, free transportation, cheaper groceries and $30 per hour minimum wage. A couple both working minimum wage jobs would have a household income of $125,000 per year and see their costs lower on child care, transportation,food and rent.
It won't happen. NYC, like all major blue cities, is going to be hit hard by Trump’s policies and budget. There won’t even be enough money to fund what currently exists in terms of transit levels, education, etc. Throw in a recession and the picture becomes pretty dire.
I hope people are realistic about what politicians promise.
Given the recent Cuomo endorsements by Clyburn and Clinton, I wonder if Cuomo's own polling isn't showing the same?

If it's all true, and if the story of high level Iranian officials desperately wanting the Ayatollah's sign off on direct talks with the US (which they can't get because they can't get in contact with him), then it paints a picture of a very weak Iran who just wants the pain to stop.

You, along with many people, especially the Iranians, completely misunderstand what Witkoff's assignment was. In hindsight, it's rather obvious that his job was to keep the Iranians guard down while Trump and Bibi planned a one-two punch to completely destroyed the Iranian nuclear program. It was the greatest good cop / bad cop scheme ever pulled, and they did it in front of the world. The Iranians thought Trump would never attack in the middle of ongoing negotiations.
Witkoff has always been an op that Trump was pulling on the Iranians, nothing more.

I'm curious about the last time the US declared war. 1941 maybe? Not sure if Iran actually issued a 'formal' declaration of war, but their actions of invading US sovereign territory (embassy) and holding diplomats hostage for over a year has got to be an act of war per some sort of official definition of war. The occassional blowing up by Iran of US soldiers that were not engaged in war with Iran probably also meets some definitions.
I'm of the opinion that, official or not, Iran has been at war with the US since 1979, and used whatever means they had to constantly poke at the US by killing US citizens, up to the point they could get away with it without provoking a retaliatory response from the US.

Reconciliation is a very difficult and easily demagogued process. Simply put, you cannot make cuts in discretionary spending via reconciliation.
It is for taxes and mandatory government spending specifically excluding Social Security. Furthermore, there is the "Byrd rule" that allows the parliamentarian of the Senate to make rulings as to what can be included and what cannot be in the bill.
The information is out there and I suggest anyone interested in the convoluted process to read this CRS (Congressional Research brief) on the process. https://tinyurl.com/3wad9ncp
Link goes to Congress dot gov and CRS brief on it.
Discretionary spending cuts are coming via recission bills under the 1974 Budget Law permitting those to be submitted just like reconciliation on taxes/mandatory spending without a filibuster.
But, you have to have a valid budget framework in place (which the GOP House and Senate finally did in March) to do those.

No he said specifically "nuclear warheads"
1. Critical infrastructure of the nuclear fuel cycle appears to have been unaffected or sustained only minor damage.
2. The enrichment of nuclear material — and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons — will continue.
3. A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads.
4. Israel is under attack, explosions are rocking the country, and people are panicking.
5. The US is now entangled in a new conflict, with prospects of a ground operation looming on the horizon.
6. Iran’s political regime has survived — and in all likelihood, has come out even stronger.
7. The people are rallying around the country’s spiritual leadership, including those who were previously indifferent or opposed to it.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council claims in a statement, that the IRGC and Army “pulverized” the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in response this weekend’s strikes against nuclear sites in Iran. It further says the number of missiles matched the number of U.S. bombs used, and claims the strike avoided civilian areas, with the wording suggesting that this will be the only military action by Iran against the United States.

Chief of the IAEA today said in Vienna that he believed the Fordow facility had been heavily damaged. Can't get in to inspect, because Israel staged a strike a few hours ago to make sure that all of the entrances were completely demolished. They've also been destroying the mountain roads and any bridges leading to the facility, to make sure that it will take months to even try to dig it up.

I think Israel has fully penetrated all of Iran's society to the extent that they can corroborate or not our technical satellite/plane derived imagery whether Fordow and/or its equipment was in fact destroyed.
The same for the alleged removal of a bunch of equipment etc from Fordow, etc. before being bombed. Enriched uranium may or may not have been removed but we also have technical means to track such materials that is one of the blacker (tightly held secrets) areas of nat sec capabilities.

They used A LOT of bunker busters. It might have been enough to cause enough quakes hundreds of meters underground, under a mountain, to damage the centrifuges to the point of unusability.
But that's...an assumption. Unless Israel has some intelligence assets in Iran who can verify, which I'd never imagine them admitting to for at least a decade.

He was specifically put out there as a highly visible attempt to engage Iran and Russia in peace negotiations. Iran refused to talk to him because Khameini has went radio silent and the remaining Iranians that wanted to talk did not want to put themselves out front of dear leader. Putin, in Russia, is winning against Ukraine and thus has little reason to placate the little penis piano player in Kiev.

Heard earlier today:
"The Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, has rejected provisions in a House-passed bill that would have limited the ability of federal judges to hold government officials in contempt for violating court orders. This decision was based on the finding that the provision violated the Senate’s Byrd Rule, which restricts what can be included in budget reconciliation bills.
The provision would have required individuals suing the federal government to post a financial bond before courts could use their contempt powers to enforce rulings, a move widely criticized as undermining judicial authority and constitutional protections."

Shutting power and dropping bombs nearby is enough to keep them offline long enough that a restart is a major undertaking. If they got the access tunnels alone that is a major setback. If they managed to contaminate the main halls, the whole thing is a write off. My thinking is 90% chance they seal the holes with concrete and never touch it again based on the limited reporting so far.

I think it mostly depends on how deep Iran built the facilities.
Reportedly, it was 400 meters beneath the surface of the mountain.
MOPs penetrate to 100 meters. What do 16 MOPs in a row do? Can they pattern the destruction to affect 400 meters down?
That's the big question.

A lot of the opposition comes also from the misunderstanding of the debt ceiling. It will HAVE to be raised soon and due to Trump/DOGE that drop dead date of extraordinary measures has been extended from the projections of early June in January to now August timeline.
It can be and has been included in the reconciliation bill as interest payments are mandatory spending so kosher. By doing that, it cuts out having to accept gobs of cash spending that Dems want in order to pass it with their votes.
First, all of you wanting cuts to Social Security, you are going to have to have filibuster proof 60 senators to cut or change it. It cannot be done via reconciliation. Second, Trump has repeatedly mentioned he is not pursuing cuts in either Social Security or Medicare right now.
So, you have rescission bills for the discretionary spending highlighted by DOGE to permanently change the baseline spending and reconciliation for Medicaid cuts (considered mandatory spending) making the 2017 tax cuts permanent, and raising the debt ceiling. Done with scant majorities in both Houses. We cannot afford a Massie or a Paul with such stakes.

Ukraine gave them up because they couldn't afford to maintain or secure them. They were a basket case with a white elephant. Even without a promise of security, they understood that at that point in time they were nothing but a liability and possibly made Russia more of a threat since there was no way to use them against Russia anyway.

Those bombs were purpose built to take out underground bunkers after the inability to take out deep Iraqi bunkers during the Saddam regime. Iran went into hyperdrive constructing deep bunkers during that time and these bombs were almost purposebuilt to take those out.
The original designs during the Second Gulf War were kludges using old cannon barrels, etc. hurriedly tested. These were tested and purpose built by the AF from the ground up to penetrate deep bunkers making the use of nukes to do that superfluous.

Hate to tell you ghbucky but moving from continuing resolutions to omnibus within a budget framework is regular process. Ditto for rescission bills. You might look up and find how you have been misled if you can look up Stephen Miller's explanation of what the administration is doing.
Massie ain't giving you the whole story as budget bills, especially involving the reconciliation process is essentially a thicket. Likewise omnibus, continuing resolutions, baseline budgeting, debt ceilings, etc. are items that Congress critters purposefully act like an octopus spraying ink and either exaggerate, misled, or even directly lie about what they can and cannot do during a session.
Then there is the requirement that you managed with a slight majority to get a bill passed without Dem votes. Requiring Dem votes will essentially kill any budget bills.

It was baked into the cake that Ukraine would lose in a protracted war unless it could finangle idiot Western countries to try to prop it up. Ukraine's best opportunity for peace was squandered by all around douchebag Boris Johnson (probably at the behest of the Biden junta) when Putin made serious offers after the failure of the decapitation strike on Kiev. I shudder to think of the consequences if Z man had retained nukes from the Soviet era to use.

A reconciliation bill cannot cut the green sludge discretionary spending other than those tax credits due to the Byrd rule. The rest has to be via rescission bills. Second, Medicaid is a weird new federalism project from the LBJ/Nixon era where states administer the federal program. That complicates matters like work requirements, etc. as those regulations that actually give effect to those states to follow have to be moved through the leviathan HHS bureaucracy in order to apply to the states. Administrative Practices Act applies to those.
Most people here would be well served to actually read CRS (Congressional Research Service) reports over exactly how the budget process actually works.
It was purposefully designed to be opaque, easily demagogued, and mislead people and Trump II is much better prepared than Trump I in circumventing what Congress has been doing since Obama. Aka continuing resolutions.

Federal Magistrate Orders Trump to Release Abrego Garcia
A Tennessee judge has ordered the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia--a suspected MS-13 member accused of smuggling migrants, narcotics, and ammunition into the U.S. Key Details: U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes ruled Sunday that the government failed to prove Kilmar Abrego Garcia should remain in federal custody before trial. Garcia, a Salvadoran national, is accused of making over 100 border-crossing trips as part of a years-long smuggling operation. He was deported in March, only to be returned to the U.S. in June to face criminal charges. Despite acknowledging ICE would likely detain Garcia regardless, Holmes wrote that "the strength of the factors weighing in favor of release outweighs all other factors in favor of detention." Diving Deeper: A federal magistrate in Tennessee has ordered the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal migrant accused of operating a wide-ranging human smuggling ring and suspected of gang affiliations. The decision--handed down Sunday by U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes--denied federal prosecutors' request to keep Garcia in detention ahead of his trial. According to court records, Garcia allegedly ran a years-long smuggling operation involving over 100 border-crossing trips. Prosecutors say he helped transport not just illegal migrants, but also narcotics and ammunition throughout the country. Despite these allegations, Holmes said the prosecution did not sufficiently prove that Garcia posed either a flight risk or a danger to the public. "Overall, the strength of the factors weighing in favor of release outweighs all other factors in favor of detention," Holmes wrote in her ruling. "Particularly given the clear default under the law that persons who have not yet been convicted of a crime should be released pending trial." The Trump administration quickly moved to counter the ruling, filing a notice of appeal and signaling that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would likely take Garcia into custody regardless of the court's release order. Holmes herself acknowledged that her decision may ultimately be symbolic. "Either Abrego will remain in the custody of the Attorney General... or he will likely remain in ICE custody subject to anticipated removal proceedings that are outside the jurisdiction of this Court," she noted.The Assistant Secretary of DHS says: Never.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a dangerous criminal illegal alien.

Hans Mahncke
@HansMahncke Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes--who just went to bat for accused human trafficker Kilmar Abrego--is yet another reminder of how far the system has drifted. Like Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, who authorized the brazenly political FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, she isn't a proper judge in the constitutional sense. She's more like a substitute teacher handed the full authority of the principal. The Constitution lays out a clear process for appointing federal judges: they're nominated by the president, confirmed by the Senate, and granted life tenure under Article III. That system has produced its share of terrible appointments, but at least it follows the constitutional structure. Magistrate judges, by contrast, exist entirely outside that framework. They're appointed by district judges, not elected officials, and were originally intended as limited judicial aides. Over time, however, they've been handed sweeping powers the Constitution never envisioned.

In the Trump application for a stay, they make explicit note that this doesn't apply to the immigration issue and imply heavily that they'll just pick him right back up and deport him again.
The Trump admin brought him here to be an example, and they're going to make sure that example is made.
Still wish they'd left him in El Salvador, though.

70% of the people being picked up by ICE are signing waivers that waive any rights to habeus corpus or any other defenses against their deportation.
Under current manpower, ICE is managing about 3000 a day. That's more than 2000 a day just gone with no muss and no fuss.
Focusing on Garcia, one of the worst exemplars of their cause, no matter what some magistrate judge does, is not going to matter to the overall deportation effort.

this has been telegraphed all morning since Qatar closed their air space. They knew well in advance that this was coming. Supposedly the US moved our planes out.
Meanwhile Israel took out at least 6 command and control centers in Iran Simultaneously! with personnel inside. Then rpoceeded to take out a bunch of air bases and kill off a bunch of planes.

Democrats Got Caught in a Huge Lie About Trump’s Iran Strike
The White House, contrary to the manufactured narrative, conducted its due diligence and reached out to leaders on both sides of the aisle. The administration’s outreach efforts were comprehensive, but in a detail that speaks volumes, the top Democrat in the House was apparently unavailable to take a call of such national security importance.
"In fact, Hakeem Jeffries couldn't be reached," she explained... Chuck Schumer was briefed prior to the strike...The lie was so egregious and so easily disproven that even CNN and Sen. Schumer's office, once confronted with incontrovertible evidence, had to beat a hasty retreat. "So this notion that CNN ran with, that the White House did not give a heads-up to Democrats is just completely false," Leavitt declared. "In fact, both Sen. Schumer's office and CNN had to retract that story last night because it was a blatant lie, and we showed them the timestamps from those phone calls."

Beyond just debunking the central lie, Leavitt exposed the fundamental flaw in the Democrats' entire grievance campaign. The notifications, she argued, were not a legal requirement but a professional courtesy — a courtesy that Democrats repaid with dishonest attacks.
The president has every right to act decisively without consulting Congress yet chose to extend a respectful heads-up anyway.
"The White House was not obligated to call anyone because the President was acting within his legal authority under Article II of the Constitution as Commander in Chief of the President of the United States," Leavitt said. "We gave these calls as a courtesy."
This brings us to the pathetic heart of the matter. Why would Democrats and their media allies fabricate such a story? Why throw a tantrum over the process of a successful military operation that made America safer? Leavitt provided the obvious and damning answer: because they simply cannot stomach a victory under this president. Their Trump Derangement Syndrome makes it impossible for them to acknowledge a win for the country if it’s also a win for this administration.

"PLEASE -- don't offer opinions if you don't know the subject matter.
He was brought back into the country by ICE.
ICE transferred him to the USMS so he could make an appearance in Court on the indictment.
ICE has always had an immigration hold on him.
A judge in the criminal case has found that he is not subject to detention under the Bail Reform Act re his criminal charge.
That does nothing to the ICE hold -- the Magistrate has no jurisdiction over Immigration Court matters.
If he is ordered released, it means released from the custody of the USMS.
He will go right back into the custody of ICE.
Not complicated -- unless you don't know how the two processes work side-by-side."

Polling for 2028 right now is entirely driven by high propensity progressive voters. They are addicted to the news and will latch onto which ever is most prominent in the news right at that moment.
Remember Cory Booker's filibuster? It led to him being second in a couple of polls. He's faded hard since in favor of Newsom.
Why? Did Booker not have genuine support? Should we believe Newsom's boomlet more or less than Booker's?
Well, the people answering polls today, especially about the 28 Democrat primary, are a bad sample and will not reflect the actual electorate of the primary.

Call me a cynic, but I'm guessing someone in the Trump administration made the call for the following reason. Immigration will be an issue in the elections next year. Democrats are going to to paint all illegals as downtrodden grandmothers and children.

By Democrat standards, a guy could show up at an airport with a kilo of fentanyl under one arm and the severed head of a child under the other and we would have to grant entry because the person has not seen a judge and not had due process.
Question for the actual lawyers, as a legal principle, does due process necessitate a judge and a hearing? Or can due process be satisfied in some cases at the first point of contact with the accused?

For deportation matters and illegal aliens, due process is an administrative hearing in front of an immigration judge where the judge asks for proof of legal residence. When they don't get it, the IJ issues a final deportation order.

However, they sent missiles against 4 sovereign ME countries and the US and Trump warned them about this.
America will not remain silent. U.S. commanders have now classified tonight’s strikes as a major attack and are preparing a decisive response. Allied forces across CENTCOM are on maximum alert.

I was thinking that. I mean, they telegraphed this move 12-24 hours ahead of time. Then only launched 7 missiles with it dialed back to "please don't let this rocket reach its target" speed.

Thanks to God and the vigilance of the armed forces personnel and the precautionary measures taken, the incident resulted in no deaths or injuries.
The Ministry reaffirmed that the airspace and territory of the State of Qatar are safe and that the Qatari Armed Forces are always fully prepared to deal with any threat. The Ministry of Defense also advises citizens and residents to follow official sources for directives and the latest developments.”

I've been surprised before, though.

According to the New York Times, Iran coordinated the missile attack tonight on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar with Qatari officials and gave advanced notice that attacks were coming to minimize casualties, according to three Iranian officials familiar with the plans. The officials said Iran symbolically needed to strike back at the U.S. but at the same time carry it out in a way that allowed all sides an exit ramp; they described it as a similar strategy to 2020 when Iran gave Iraq heads up before firing ballistic missiles at Al-Asad Airbase in Iraq following the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani by President Trump.

Even the Israelis once made that mistake, with the Bar-Lev Line that they built on the E bank of the Suez Canal after the '67 war. 70 ft tall berms right at the edge of the canal, along with strong points and fortresses.
In '73, the Egyptians got creative and just breached the berms with fire hoses sucking water out of the canal. Took about 2 hours to break through in about 70-80 places. Another 3 hours to build bridges and the Gyppos were pouring through the gaps. The IDF had estimated that it would take close to 24 hours just to make suitable breaches.

THE MORNING RANT: Local Tennessee News of National Importance – 6/23/2025
"I believe that carbon pollution is a public health emergency," Geer said. "When the health and safety of our communities, children and grandchildren are at stake, we must act ... and we must move quicker to address the climate crisis." Geer, who chaired the board committee in charge of executive pay incentives, celebrated at a meeting in November a new payout incentive based on how quickly TVA expands renewable energy. "We need to go further, faster on our renewable energy goals," Geer said in May 2024. "We hear you, we see you, we are working on it. I just want to say that out loud." "One item that was very important to me as we develop goals this year was to ensure that we are, in fact, incentivizing management to increase carbon free resources."Those of us who rely on the TVA for electricity dodged a bullet with Donald Trump’s election. And by the way, the “true conservatives” at National Review and the rest of Conservative, Inc. got their way when Joe Biden was “elected” President in 2020. Biden then stuffed TVA’s board with radical anti-carbonists. In 2024, National Review and Conservative, Inc. again worked to defeat Donald Trump (to “save conservatism”
and thereby elect Kamala Harris. She would have not only kept Biden’s TVA appointees, but added more “net zero” zealots to it.
Donald Trump flushing the climate communists out of the TVA is actual, real-life conservatism in action. Meanwhile, as I scan National Review and their Twitter feeds, I see that Dan and Charlie et al are having the vapors over Donald Trump’s handling of Tik Tok, which violates some sacred penumbra of “true conservatism,” yet they were perfectly willing to let Biden and Kamala inflict the left’s decarbonization agenda on residents of the Tennessee Valley. If that is “principled conservatism,” please give me Donald Trump’s unprincipled version instead.
The garage, owned by the Nashville Department of Transportation and operated by the Nashville Downtown Partnership, provided access to the Downtown library branch and the Renaissance Hotel on Commerce Street. Fire crews responded to the garage at about 1:30 a.m. to find multiple upper floors of the structure in flames. Many of the Downtown Partnership's vehicles were parked on the top floor. A ramp between the fourth and fifth floors collapsed and several beams on the same floor were damaged, officials said.I continue to follow both of these garage fires. I’ll let you know if/when it is confirmed that these were ignited by EVs.

Several elected officials have contacted the university’s President, Randy Boyd, advising him he’d better sit on that zoo faculty of his.
A better message to send to President Boyd would be for the legislature to cut the university’s budget while freezing tuition. So long as the payroll includes a Content Strategy Manager for the Division of Student Life who accuses the U.S. of being Nazi Germany, there is plenty of room for belt tightening at the University of Tennessee.

So yes, I’m more open to separating sociopathic billionaires from their wealth than I once was. I still believe in economic liberty. But liberty doesn’t mean allowing radicalized aristocrats to fund our destruction.It’s behind a paywall, but if you’re a Blaze subscriber, I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

Question: How do you think the 35,000 police officers in NYC are going to act for a "mayor" who hates them?
I know NYPD has lots of Shits on the force, but most of them are normal people, and they have publicly defied their mayor (kaiser wilhelm) in the recent past.

Well, they believe that increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will increase water vapor in the air which will increase global temperatures.
The belief that increased carbon dioxide leads to increased water vapor is unsupported by science.
It is a religious belief.

For some. For others, I'm convinced they think carbon dioxide is itself a toxin, a poison. They don't know it's nothing but CO2 that's released by every animals' breath. They hear "carbon" and think it's some kind of metal or toxin. Notice that it's rarely called "CO2" in the doomsaying. It's always called the more exotic and sinister-sounding carbon dioxide.

I'm pretty sure, in addition to cat videos, what gets posted are videos being shared of people talking, and the person making the TikTok puts dog ears on the person talking in the video, makes faces and points at the person.
So if it's, say Cummala Harris talking, and the poster puts dog ears on Cummala, and makes faces, as if to say Cummala is stoopid, that's very influential on young voters.

MIGA by Airstrike: Israel Targets Tehran’s Grip on Power
Israeli strikes also hit intelligence and security police offices tied to internal surveillance and control.
According to the IDF, these sites are central to Iran’s military and regime enforcement apparatus. Damaging them weakens both their operational capability and internal grip on power.
You can find more reports today just like this one: "Several Basij officers were killed when a building at their eastern Tehran headquarters was completely leveled. These forces are tasked with suppressing dissent and enforcing regime control."
Basij serves as one of the regime's secret police forces.
Tehran's Evin Prison is — or rather was — a symbol of the regime's ruthlessness, just like the Bastille in pre-revolutionary France or Lefortovo prison in Moscow.
Now the front door stands wide open.

My only concern would be -- despite the ChiComms,, GloboHomo, and other anti-American fellow travelers pushing actual disinformation and propaganda via numerous other means (including of course our own MDM-MSM), the open sanctioning & promotion of a platform that happily admits it and corrupts the thinking of young people (similar to push-polling).

Yes, as everybody knows from their history books the Nazis were infamous for deporting gang members from Tren de Aragua and Haitians and Hondurans and Guatemalans, and Mexican cartel members because the Kaiser had let in millions of them before Hitler came to power and decided to Make Germany Great Again.

That being said, it is relatively easy to 'dirty' your algorithm feed by giving misleading answers to customer surveys, randomly searching via web browsers, and by not using spyware like Microsoft 11 and/or shutting down Copilot and the idiotic default saving to clouds (it is installing on Windows 10 now as an update to convince Windows 10 users to migrate to Windows 11 I guess).
Some email providers also allow the customer to create alias emails where required by websites that can further dirty your algorithmic feed.
Then, there are services like Optery, Privacy Bee, and Aura among others that seek out private data brokers and kill your information being shared out and sold.

Depends on challengers, the district demo, etc. The problem for Massie is if Trump causes a well heeled challenger to enter the race. Justin Amash during Trump's first term FAFO and lost his seat because of it.
Open Borders, tax hikes, not attacking clear and present dangers like Iran's nuclear program, and other pseudo libertarian might play well with the NR crowd but not necessarily with ex-urban Lexington , Cincinnati, and Louisville voters.
An iconoclast like Walter Jones in NC can manage to stay in office for awhile because he focused his maverick image on opposing Bush's nationbuilding idiocy and he was a former military officer.
But being an maverick in all things and a PITA for House leadership plus the Presidency on must pass legislation rarely leads to good things for the person unwise enough to challenge. Even the original Maverick McCain was not stupid enough to oppose tax cuts during Trump's first term for example.

You seem to be convinced that one vote proves he doesn't have principles. I would suggest Congress is designed to keep principles out of the mix.
Everyone... and I mean EVERYONE who goes to Congress is forced, one way or another, to vote for something they don't really believe in.

You seem to be convinced that one vote proves he doesn't have principles. I would suggest Congress is designed to keep principles out of the mix.
Everyone... and I mean EVERYONE who goes to Congress is forced, one way or another, to vote for something they don't really believe in. The problem might not be the principles, or lack thereof, of the individuals in office (although for many I'm sure it is), but the problem might be the institution itself.

I think it's more likely that Massie is a far-left progressive who uses small government rhetoric to justify his votes.
He votes for raising the debt ceiling under Biden because he will throw himself before the train of big government spending under Trump?
Seriously. Guy has no principles if you think he's a small government conservative.
He's an attention seeking whore and little else.
If he were actually consistent, it'd make sense. But he's not.

The problem ultimately with subsidizing and enabling massive commercial investments is that the locust cloud people descend on your locality/state. These are people in it because they get paid, not because they particularly care about a state or locality. So they flock to the hot spots wherever globo homo alights for awhile as 'hot' areas.
Seen this happen over and over again--when the 'hot' area cools off, then inevitably the locust people fly away to the latest 'hot' spot.
Local and state governments are never satisfied subsidizing and supporting the indigenous local businesses in growing in place. Instead, for publicity and grifting purposes, they are always on the lookout for the mega corps that inevitably love the locality and then leave it.

There is an interesting youtube series by Christian Reform Initiative that documents how the Southern Baptist Convention is essentially staging hostile takeovers of (wealthy) independent churches with tithes and offerings going into undisclosed accounts. The pastors associated with the takeovers are all DEI/CRT/Green promoters. Worth a look at how they twist the Gospel to achieve their blatantly worldly goals. It hurts my heart for the Bride of Christ, and how this affects the salvation of souls.

Do I click on the guy's body, because his ass is connecting to the seat of the motorcycle right at the edge of a box?
Do I click on that tiny traffic light way off in the distance that most people missed, but I didn't, and if I click on it because I see it, will I get screwed because most people didn't?
Invariably I always guess wrong and have to do the entire thing over again.

He's been both explicit and consistent on "no US troops on the ground" and "we won't directly perform regime change".
Note that the focus of Israeli bombing has turned to the mullahs' secret police who are charged with keeping the citizens in line. The Iranians tried to overthrow the mullahs once before, but Obama and Jarrett propped up the mullahs. They need to go for round 2 now.

Absolutely. Spend a bit of time on YouTube and see what people like Theo Von and Tim Dillon are saying. They fucking hate what just happened.
And of course the retort here will be who cares what they say? They’re just dumb comedians. Ok maybe they are. But they’re very influential. Remember the whole podcast election?
As much as ai love this place it can get very insular and in its own bubble.

During President Trump's ME tour, he made a speech lauding what countries like Saudi Arabia have accomplished, built by them, not by other people telling them what to do. (paraphrasing)
That speech was made for a reason.

As a general rule, regarding politicians, if one finds themselves acting like a defense attorney for their favorite congress critter, the reality to others is often that they are a slimy scumbag.
Never fall in love with a political candidate, they will ALWAYS break your heart for raison d'etat.
It is always choosing between the lesser of evils in a representative democracy. I prefer King Log to King Stork (Aesop's Fables) personally but obviously that is rarely the case. Instead we have to pick between a fat King Stork that has already engorged itself on the poor frogs versus a lean and hungry one.

Currently China is ignoring a World Court decision regarding islands and economic rights in the South China Sea.
Communism comes down to might makes right and hypocrisy/lies when they lack the sufficient 'might' to get what they want. Stalin and mustache man are a prime example. Both intended to plunder and pillage the other but mustache man was better prepared to do it to Stalin before Stalin could do it to him.

Ok that’s fine. I don’t disagree with this. We elect leaders to lead not to do what polls say. No issues there.
But the problem is a lot of war hawks assume they’re in the majority. They’re not. And when polls do show it, they throw out the “poles are for strippers” stuff because they’re in the bubble.

There's a poll out that says 74% approve of Trump bombing Iran's nuke sites.
There's plenty of opinion on the net, but 74% is a damn good number, and I don't mind not being in the 25% on this one.
Iran had it coming.
Moreso than Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria, the mullahs had it coming.
Even the Saudis have chilled out with their jihadis in the last decade or so.
But Iran keeps on keeping on with their B.S., and they have finally figured out what time it is.
Le'ts wait and see what Joe Rogan thinks, though.
I know I always check with podcasters, comedians and talking heads before I can approve of any important decision made by the president.

Hmm idk, I think it’s an organic process. People are bored, looking for entertainment. They’re easy prey for hunters. TikTok starts off being sort of just silly but has grown to include infotainment. Think magazines of the digital age. The good ones kept people flipping pages.
I also think people have more anxiety than ever and if someone presents things in a funny way or in a space they already associate with humor, it makes hard things easier to deal with. Comedians could be really good salespeople.

I think the key to success for Trump is to increase congressional majorities in the midterms, and the key to THAT is to make as much change as fast as possible, to give the positive results a chance to appear and make a difference!
All substantive change with draw immediate fire from the DeMedia, and that has to be pushed out of the headlines by even newer change until positive results can be realized. Go hard and go fast- no half measures!

A mother would be carrying her child in the dark and wet. The woman has her hand on the mid back, gently guiding the little one along the way.
And there’s a church in the background. Perhaps the orphanage is in the back.

Agreed. I like Kinkade's popular paintings and to hell with the critics. I've seen some of his earlier works and I like them even more.
Your previous comment "That the viewer can make up a whole emotional story in their mind about this painting is a painter’s goal." That really hits home. That added dimension of deeper connection with the audience is what makes a painting, prose or poem ever more artistic and effective.

I had a trellis over the end of our walkway that had a vintage door instead of a gate. There wasn't any fence next to it so most people (including us) walked around this goofy trellis. The bees loved the roses on the trellis, so walking thru was a crapshoot. That idiot dog would stand in the trellis and whine for someone to open that door. Instead of walking around it. Just sit there forever whining until she finally went home, getting lost in my backyard along the way.
We got rid of the trellis, the neighbors and their dog moved, and I couldn't bring myself to name our girl spawn Sophie. But I still like that name.

The 7-2 ruling emphasized that it was not considering the substance of the dispute itself, but solely whether the producers had the legal standing to bring the lawsuit.
The justices in a 7-2 ruling overturned a lower court’s decision to throw out the lawsuit by a Valero Energy (VLO.N) subsidiary and fuel industry groups. The lower court had concluded that the plaintiffs lacked the required legal standing to challenge a 2022 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency decision to let California set its own regulations.
“The government generally may not target a business or industry through stringent and allegedly unlawful regulation, and then evade the resulting lawsuits by claiming that the targets of its regulation should be locked out of court as unaffected bystanders,” conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote for the majority.

I've seen similar speculation that some southwestern petroglyphs (cave art) was the handiwork of ancient native teenagers doing the equivalent of drawing dick pics on a boys' room stall with a Sharpie.

Yeah, I guess.
It's just funny that Ukraine's conflict with Russia is a local issue, as they've been squabbling over land for years, and this is OUR problem, yet the country that's been chanting "Death to America!" since 1979, and has been using regional proxies to murder Americans since then is somehow off limits.
But yes, a lot of Western oligarchs and politicians are doing shady business in Ukraine, so we must protect that -- and the Democrats are so beholden to the CAIR/Pali wing of their party, and hostile to Israel, that it is inexplicably unthinkable to take out their nukes before they're used on us.

I still don't know what to think of the move.
Did it work? Will there be consequences?
I think it's legal. The 2001 AUMF is still in effect, and Iran obviously fits as a germane target under that language.
I suspect Iran is something of a paper tiger, especially after the last few years where it's promised huge consequences to Israel and delivered almost nothing since 10/7. It's inability to respond well to Israel's first phase of the attack for a week, it's promise of a century's worth of memory for an event that never happened, and even China now telling Iran to not shut down the Strait all shows Iran to be weak.
We'll see.

The Morning Report — 6/ 23 /25
At least 20 Christians were killed and 52 others were wounded on Sunday when a radical Islamic terrorist opened fire in an Orthodox church in Damascus, Syria, and then detonated an explosive vest, according to Syria’s interior ministry. The terrorist, affiliated with ISIS, targeted Mar Elias Church in Dweila, on the outskirts of Damascus, the BBC reported. A person who witnessed the attack told AFP news agency that “someone entered carrying a weapon” and began firing at worshipers. A group of church members charged the attacker and “tried to stop him before he blew himself up,” the witness added.So, what does this have to do with Iran? Everything. That is, everything that matters. First of all, the term "radical Islamic terrorist" is a triple redundancy but kudos at least for using the word Islamic and not Islamist which is obfuscatory by design. Substitute waves of Hamas attackers raping and maiming their way into southern Israel from Gaza or an IRGC missile crew firing off a nuclear tipped V-2 clone or No-Dong Big Schlong missile at Tel Aviv, et VIOLA as we say. So, we may have destroyed Iran’s nuclear weapons capabilities, whatever the geopolitical and domestic repercussions. The problem was is and always has been – for over 1500 years and counting – ISLAM, Unless and until Islam reforms itself (a non-starter) or is otherwise neutralized, Civilization will still be at risk of being destroyed at some point down the road. When the #1 baby name across most of Europe is Mohammed, nuclear weapons is the least of our worries. Iran, or Turdogon's Turkey or the Saudis do not need nukes with several hundred million "Tiny Time Pills" in the form of immigrants/migrants spread out all over Europe and here in America. While far too many of the indigenous non-Muslim citizenry are willfully committing cultural suicide courtesy of Leftist/Socialist cultural rot eating away at the foundations of 2,000 years of the advancement of humanity via Judeo-Christianity and Western Civilization. Lest we forget, Pakistan has nuclear weapons and shares a very long border with Iran so what's to stop them from helping the Mullahs reconstitute their nuke program or just give them one or two warheads. And as for Iran closing off the Straits of Hormuz, I imagine that would not include oil shipments to the Chi-Coms and/or NORKs, perhaps in exchange for a few small tactical warheads. What if Iran had a missile or even a boat with an Islamikaze crew and a warhead heading at ramming speed towards a US Aircraft carrier parked off Israel or in the Gulf. Remember the USS Cole incident post 9/11? So, now that the hornet's nest has been kicked, what's next? I think the IRGC is too vested both in Islam and conventional internal power politics to ever willingly cede power to any other party, certainly none that are not Islamic in nature and for sure not the scion of the late Shah or any pro-western moderate secular party. Even if Khameni and some or all of his associates are forced out, the Iranian people will still have a giant rusty scimitar at their throats. Wish I could be more upbeat about their prospects, and then again, I'm no expert and have no inside dope on the Iranian street, but all things being equal, unless they are armed to the teeth and/or have significant police and army personnel willing to help them seize power across the nation, get ready for Islamic Republic 2.0.
Back here at home, and with everything going on, let's hope that this is a one-off and unrelated, but with years of a wide open border, this raises pulses.
Police told Click on Detroit that a security guard at Wayne, Michigan’s CrossPointe Community Church shot and killed an alleged active shooter Sunday morning. The City of Wayne Police Department posted to Facebook, “The Wayne Police Department responded to an active shooter at Crosspointe Church in Wayne this morning. Upon arrival, officers determined that a security guard for the church shot and killed the suspect.”Maybe it was just a run-of-the-mill transexual psycho and not a harbinger of Hamas infiltrators, so let's not sow needless panic and Islamophobia! Gevalt... And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a great day!

From what I’ve read this morning the Israelis think they have good intelligence on where Iran is storing their stockpiles of enriched uranium.
I would think that would be the first order of business in trying to settle this thing before that stuff gets put on top of a missile or taken out of the country and smuggled somewhere we don’t want it to be.
I’ve always had that worry in the back of my mind on where the uranium went.

How many of those German immigrants to America left Germany to get away from their homeland and start a new life as Americans?
They were a different kind of immigrant back in those days.

In a practical sense, the B-2 has only one mission profile that is unique to it: deliver the MOP.
No one on planet earth is going to hurl a nuke at anyone - mainly because there is a lot of doubt that any would work as advertised, and the concept of MAD still exists.
The future is cyber-attacks, money-manipulation, propaganda, asymmetrical warfare, drones and the Enemy Within - mostly the latter.

Before the Democrat lockdowns they used to run an airshow out of Quonset. We used to sit on a boat and the aircraft would rip up and down the bay overhead.
One year they brought both a B2 and a stealth fighter. All of the stuff was impressive but those two looked like something out of a scifi movie.

Its sort of like automobiles. Inexpensive cars only lasted 40-80k miles before the maintenance costs exceeded the purchase price of its replacement.

I suspect it's worse than that and is tied much more to grifting and money laundering.

Posted by: Ordinary Amerian at June 23, 2025 08:37 AM (x2CMu)
The danger now, like with the BLM riots, etc is that Democrat politicians are clearly willing to let their constituents suffer and their cities burn,
just to gain or maintain political power.
This sets up a kind of Co-operation between terrorists who would kill American citizens or destroy American cities and those Democrat pols responsible for protecting their citizens.
Live, healthy, happy citizens in Blue Cities are an impediment to Democrats power, so they must suffer for their sin of living in a nation with President Trump.
Evil folks simply because you know this is their equation.

I believe this seems “surprising” because the 20th century, and especially its technological progress, has given us a false idea about progress. We have this thought that all technology must advance forever; but in fact when a technological breakout happens, it advances quickly until it reaches the pinnacle of its expression, and then it plateaus until some new technological breakthrough happens.
The next big breakthrough in weaponry will likely be space based.

I think it's probable that they're in place. I mean, we watched it with our own government in 2016-2024, the spy balloon, the vaxxine, etc. We know without a doubt it's happened with Indian H1Bs. There's no reason to believe Iran hasn't incorporated some similar strategy.
Posted by: Boron Cobbie - US is a matriarchy, women have rights and veto without any duties at June 23, 2025 08:45 AM (jzzLU)
Trump's voters want him to clamp down on illegal immigration and...he is.
The tech sector voters wanted fewer H1Bs and offshoring and the Biden junta gave them more of both. And I suspect while Trump will be better then the junta for them, only marginally so and it will not be a priority.
The coming AI whatever it is will certainly take away a lot of tech sector jobs however successful it ultimately will be. And there will be no one from the government or the industry itself to stop it.

I agree. Esp. the last line, 1000%.
It's just another in a long line of lies and bullshit the left has used to advance their evil.
I don't know how to articulate it succinctly, but for the how long has Iran promised retribution, attacks, death, destruction?
And every step of the way, holding their threats of blood and pain proudly high as a banner, is the left, demanding the world, Israel, the US all bow down and accede and capitulate to their demands.
Yesterday was a prime example: Iran threatens the shut the Strait of Hormuz.
The left panics the world with horror stories of economic collapse.
When the reality is 1) they can't, they don't have the resources, not even close 2) the whole world would turn against them, not just the US, 3) the US would crush their blockade in minutes and 4) most importantly, the blockade would cut off their own only source of revenue.

Maybe. Or maybe the supreme leader is keeping tighter grip on the leash after Trump's attack. Trump did warn him directly that if there were any counterattacks he is sending more bombs and this time they won't be targeting nuclear sites because they are all gone.
For the first time in nearly 5 decades the mullahs have to start worrying about losing their grip. Between the Israelis and Trump it seems pretty obvious they could obliterate the Iranian leadership whenever they wanted.

The problem with The Americans is that its central plot point is completely implausible. Multiple former Soviet citizens have talked about how astonished they were by US supermarkets and that their existence was a dead giveaway about who was right in the Cold War. The Soviets had to have minders to keep people from defecting on any organized group trips to the US. The idea that ideologically committed Soviets were going to live and work here for years on end and keep playing for the away team is ridiculous on its face. The whole plot is just insultingly dumb in a glaring way.

In the end this is about a sovereign ruled by Islamic religious fanatics who see a nuclear bomb as a way to achieve their twisted, evil theological goals. They intend to use it. Period. Worst part, there are other nations for whom Iran is a proxy, and who want to see those evil aspirations achieved.

They could have replaced the damaged section with a new truss by now. All of the elevated approach sections are still intact.
Then work on a whole new bigger better thing. A taller bridge will require new elevated approach sections. This is a nice-to-have, not a necessity.

Brown shoes with a blue suit is way better than black shoes. Black with blue looks like a policeman. The Blade only wears brown, including brown suede. Sadly, the look has been co-opted by endless hipster DudeBros who must have seen the look on some reality show, along with homosexual-style skinny pants.

1. John Brennan: “Allow Iranians to have some type of enrichment capability.” He says he’s just trying to think creatively. 2. Texas Democrats took to the Texas House floor to argue for state legislation that says that if you go on vacation and squatters take up residence in your home, they should be allowed to stay. 3. Democrats’ reaction to the Supreme Court’s ruling on transgender kids: Democrats said not allowing them mutilate their sex parts would cause “permanent, irreparable harm” — which, of course, is the opposite of true.

Trump has more of a Brooks Brothers look, a suit that comfortably drapes. It works with larger men. My Dad was tall and slender (like Dick Van Dyke) and had bespoke suits from Morty Sills in New York. Not tight fitting like the ridiculous monkey suits men are wearing now but nicely conformed to thinner frame. My first suits, bought for me, were Brooks and I couldn't wait to buy my own Italian styled ones.

Only a fool would believe Iran hasn't moved material, and despite what you may think, it's hard to believe Israeli intelligence would be foolish. There may be arguments about this particular photo and what it shows (that's the nature of sat photo analysis), and there may even be arguments about the gist of the Free Press article, but there is no argument about their basic conclusion, which is there is still work to be done and Israel is the right power to do it.

==================
and my point is that reaching a vociferous conclusion based on a single sat photo is probably a leap too far. In this instance, we have competing claims about the photo in question, but no one should doubt the thrust of the argument.

My guess is posts on X that first load as a block of text, and then expand to a larger vertical footprint as they bring in the pictures and the text display of the actual post as rendered on X.
The links to posts on X here at AoSHQ seem to use the old twitter.com domain and I had to disable that domain in No-Script, and that solved the jumping around nonsense for me on my desktop. I also have some pretty serious ad-blocking set up on my desktop because I despise advertisements.
Trying with my phone instead of my desktop... Yeah, I'm seeing some jumping around when I load the ONT. King Harv's adverts also seem to cause some minor shifting around after the text of the post loads.
Solution: Let the page settle down first when you jump into a thread before trying to scroll and read (this will also need to be done every time you refresh the page to get new comments.)

My company is currently adding 'AI' to a product. It's the most important thing in the history of ever. People have to work crazy overtime to get it completed. Rules and procedures we've developed over the years to prevent bad things from happening have to be thrown out the window to meet an arbitrary announce date. Other product releases have to be put in jeopardy. And the release is being pushed back one week from normal to allow marketing to announce when they want.
Oh, yeah, and now we're scrambling to give customers the option to not install it because we've had several big customers say that they cannot install anything with 'AI'.

I used to have a different nic, congratulations on your retirement! My advice, having done this all of once, is start making sure of your finances *now*. Don't assume; start arranging everything way in advance. It'll prevent a lot of fussing later. I thought I had everything lined up, and I really didn't.

Things are grim for me finding another gig as a 70 YO engineer. I'm definitely not obsolete as I have seriously marketable skills but at some point it becomes damn near impossible to get past HR no matter how desperate the employer is for qualified people.
I got tossed out of the Space Center at 55 along with a bunch of other folks when they shut down the shuttle program. I've been working mostly as a sub since then.
My health as definitely deteriorated over the last couple of years so I don't think I can continue job hopping around the country anymore.
I did make it back to Brevard County where I have lived most of my life. I really like it here so I've got that going for me.
I'm pretty worried about acclimating to the real world because I'm a hard-core workaholic.

We’re having a brief reprieve from the pronoun, transgender , and microaggression nonsense. What businessperson in their right mind wants to deal with the fragility of today’s human mental illness and possibly get sued for an ambiguous discriminatory work environment laws.
Let’s face it, if the wrong party gets in political power again, they’re going right back to an anti-capitalist posture. I’m glad I’m on the back nine of life. Who has the energy for onerous regulation and laws that don’t make sense. Have you heard of xenopronouns? If that gets implemented into society through a legal framework, forget trying to run a business with mentally disturbed individuals.

Imagine a printer on rubber feet (not sticky unfortunately) on a smooth table (yes well ...). A 20lb cat launches itself from a ways, lands on the printer and both skid off the table.

Something tells me you don’t have to imagine this scenario at all.
You could glue the replacement printer to the table or use some Gorilla tape.
But then the cat would probably knock the entire table over.

Speaking of weather forecasts, we've got someone at the local NWS office who writes up the text for the "forecast discussion" part who fancies themself a writer. Some days the 'story' for the day/week's weather is amusing.

Kewl Stuff over in The UK Tiny Robots Can Help Fix Leaky Old Water Pipes Without Having to Dig Up Roads
Tiny robots could help fix leaky water pipes without having to dig up roads and sidewalks, thanks to a British team. The miniature machines called ‘Pipebots’ are the same size as a toy car and can track down leaks underground. They can also identify potential issues before they even become a problem. University researchers say the Pipebots could revolutionize how water infrastructure is managed and help save some of the nearly 800 million gallons of water lost through leaky pipes every day in England and Wales.Read the whole thing. Very ingenious engineering.
Here is a video which is included in the story
Anyone familiar with this technology and/or seen applications here in the States?
A 70-year-old Spanish beekeeper was so upset about being stopped by traffic police that he set his bees on the officers, causing them to take shelter in a restaurant.Check out the whole story.
An unusual incident took place last Friday, on the N-II road in Cervera, a small town in the Catalonian province of Lleida. A local police patrol noticed that the driver of a van wasn’t wearing a seatbelt and was driving erratically, so they pulled him over. The 70-year-old man immediately set the tone of the interaction with the phrase “I should have run you over!” and things only got more heated from then on. *** “Now I’m going to kill you,” the irritated beekeeper allegedly shouted at the traffic cops
Somehow, my brain now recalls 2 times when bees were featured / mentioned on Cheers

Royal Ascot 2025: A Spectacular Display of Fashion and Tradition Royal Ascot, Britain’s iconic five-day horse racing event, rivals our beloved TxMoMe in its blend of prestige and sartorial splendor. Renowned for its world-class equestrian competition, it’s equally celebrated for its strict dress code, which inspires a dazzling parade of high fashion and theatrical flair. Leading the daily royal procession, King Charles and Queen Camilla set the tone. My favorite of Queen Camilla’s looks was a stunning silvery-blue bespoke Dior coat dress, paired with a matching Philip Treacy hat. She carried a white Launer London Tosca clutch and wore neutral Chanel cap-toe pumps in beige and black. The true showstopper? Her Cullinan V Diamond brooch, so exquisite I suspect the dress was designed to showcase it.
Princess Anne, ever pragmatic, made waves by recycling a chic outfit from 1987. Did she think we’d forget? And could that be a young Prince William?
Princess Beatrice turned heads throughout the event. On day one, she glowed in a Beulah London Gabriella pink and white gingham tweed blouse, paired with a matching Arabella skirt. Her ensemble was completed with Jennifer Chamandi Vittorio 105 pumps in sand patent leather with a white toe cap, an Anya Hindmarch Mortimer clutch, and a sculpted sand-colored scroll percher hat by Juliette Botterill.
On day three, Beatrice went bolder with a vibrant Monique Lhuillier sunflower floral day dress that I’m absolutely obsessed with! She accessorized with a Justine Bradley-Hill Camellia Crystal beret, bisque suede Gianvito Rossi 105 pumps, and a white alligator Mark Cross Romy clutch.
Zara Tindall, a personal favorite (we’ve ridden together, so I’m a bit biased), stole the show on day three with an elegant black-and-white ensemble. Her ivory Laura Green Camille shirt dress was paired with a bespoke Juliette Botterill boater hat, a black Mulberry Amber clutch, and Laurence Costello Cosima earrings. She added a playful touch with Jacques Marie Mage Kellerman sunglasses in brut. The highlight, though, was her recycled Emmy London Rebecca pumps, adorned with Emmy London Golden Dome clips. Shoe clips—are they making a comeback?
For the gentlemen, Prince Edward proved timeless style reigns supreme with a vintage Hermès Equestrian 7371 tie in pink (and yes, it’s pronounced ehr-mez, not air-maize). A nod to classic craftsmanship that never goes out of fashion.
Royal Ascot is more than a horse race—it’s a celebration of British heritage, where men in morning suits and top hats and women in stunning dresses with statement hats create a regal spectacle. It is a perfect blend of formality and theatricality. ------ Thank you, Piper - for providing the Sunday ONT content that people actually look forward to.

Does seem the attacks on Israel are lessening, and so far no attacks on US assets. Would be nice to see the "passive majority" take power in Iran, but the "fascist regime" still seems in control. tick tock, I guess.

I mean, the whole point of an underground facility, under a mountain, sort of calls into question this notion of “peaceful” intent in the first place doesn’t it?
But it does require an underground power supply, safe from bombing attacks or other disruption, otherwise what’s the point? I can’t imagine it would be left that vulnerabile.

While I appreciate law and order, and firemen, this is why I also am skeptical when it comes to police. Too many departments are very liberal. This now deleted post is a result of that liberalism: A hatred of America while supportng those who shout 'Death To America' for breakfast. But . . . but this came from cops! How do we fight this? I don't get it. Is TDS so strong as to allow them to root for those who kill Americans? I guess so. We've seen Congresscritters go to bat for illegals a hell of a lot harder than they go to bat for Americans. So anything's possible. Like I said, I don't get it. Maybe I'm not supposed to.

Uranium centrifuge enrichment plants don't handle highly radioactive material. They handle uranium hexafluoride, a gas, which is chemically reactive and toxic, but only slightly radioactive.

It is a small area we have to shovel out. Not worth the expense of a snowblower. We shovel enough to get out the vehicle we can drive on the snowy roads.
The asshole neighbors around us have snowblowers and they know how old we are. Will they help? No fucking way because we aren't of the "religion".

When you’re young and full of limitless energy, you can shovel, when you reach the advanced age of 29, you need to mechanize.

I wondered if we had a female pilot flying the mission.
Kudos to her!!
Posted by: four seasons at June 22, 2025 11:41 PM (3ek7K)
There has been no such announcement.
What I *have* read is that there are so few female B-2 pilots (and I'd assume that there aren't that many men either, but...) that if there was one included in the mission and Hegseth had hinted / confirmed such, he might as well have given her full name.

🚨#BREAKING: The official LA County Sheriff’s Department is under extreme backlash for a Condolence Post on the Victims and families of the U.S. Bombing of Iran's nuclear sites.
📌#LosAngeles | #California
The official LA County Sheriff’s Department on X is facing extreme backlash after sharing a post that appeared to express condolences for the victims and families affected by the recent U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. The post read: “Our hearts go out to the victims and families impacted by the recent bombings in Iran. While this tragic event occurred overseas, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is closely monitoring the situation alongside our local, state, and federal partners.” Following widespread criticism from users, the department edited the post and eventually deleted it, sparking even more outrage online.

I've been looking at those before and after satellite images of Fordow. 6 holes on either side of the ridge line. I've seen some overlays of what they think is the internal layout of the complex. I wonder how they think they know that. Mossad hard at work? Or is some remote sensing possible?
I hope they did do substantial damage. A lot of concrete dust blew out of those holes. Some weather satellites also caught some little "energy blooms" and a plume right over Fordow as well, I saw.

Let's see who takes the bait...
There will be no Trump appreciation gathering Tuesday
It has been decided that there will be no Appreciation Gathering for Trump this Tuesday, thanking him for taking military action against Iran's nuclear program.
Supporters have indicated that, even though they absolutely voted for, and support, this type of policy, they have determined that it is more important at this moment to attend to their employment responsibilities, which in turn is essential to providing for their spouses and children. Running around like useless eaters and useful idiots, waving insipid hand drawn signs, or preprinted signs from dark organizations, would be detrimental to family, community, and economy.
Thank you for your understanding in these trying times.

Blonde,
So many of those people are afraid of being called out as racists and everything else. If they would stand up for what they really believed in we would be a better country.
They know they have the power to change us as a country but they are pussies.
Social media has had such a negative effect on people standing up for what they truly believe in.

I agree Anna. Those "elites" are so isolated from what we, the regular normal people live with every day.

Prince Edward looks as if his formal suit has been pressed out and worn for 38 years.
Camilla looks like a chicken, always, having fun and King Charles about one step away from Harpo Marx.
I admire Princess Ann's practical dressing, as do the UK taxpayers, and to get into a 38 year old dress and look quite decent at age 74 is admirable. (Compared to her brothers, she's a national treasure.) She's known as the hardest working royal & was also an Olympian.
Zara is always stylish, well put together in her accesories but so are all the wives of current or former celebrity soccer players.
I enjoy Piper's current fashion knowledge & commentary. 👍

Nicks Cigar World New! A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!

Range report. Grandson #1 is graduating soft air next Saturday and moving to the crossman model 1322. He has shown very good progress in handling and my yard set up range/ safety classes. So off to the sticks we go to shoot some soda cans. Probably going to take the walther .22 with us and let him try that too.

Aside from all of that, it is deeply rewarding to break bread with this family, and I am very "grateful" to be able to do it in NoVa, TX, and where ever we travel and can meet up with local Horde members.

Well, I missed the Sunday post MoMe range date because I was feeling a bit punky but in my defense, I believe it is the first time that has happened.
The MoMe was terrific. A bit smaller but that made for more conversation. Think I recruited a few locals to come and check out where we shoot and to join us sometime. (If I didn't get your contact info, email me).
Thank you Weasel and Bluebell for making this happen. ❤️

A little slide bite. I carry a first aid kit to range day so it was survivable.
Also, I took my PSA Dagger which I have not shot in a while. I had that (with a cheapie green dot) and my Legion P226 with its Sig Romeo 1 Pro red dot.
I shoot the Dagger WAY better than the P226 which is annoying as the Sig is more than 4x the cost of the Dagger.

But I *did* get to the range on Saturday. The activity on Saturday (that kept me from NoVaMoMe) got cancelled (for sad reasons), and I said "Screw it" to all the things I could have used that time for and went to the big First Day of Summer event at the range/gun store. They had Kimber, Glock, S&W, and Staccato reps there, along with a silencer guy, a local holster company, and some guy with bags. And free range time (didn't matter for me, as my range time is free anyway). But lots of people there with newbies, guy next to me with a full-auto, belt-fed 5.56 (maybe he checked it out of the Navy gun locker and brought it down to train the other guy). (It might have been 7.62, too.)
I was working on some bits using fundamentals. I did a little just-above-the-belt point-shooting. And then bringing it up to my eye level to see how close I was to natural aimpoint. A lot of 1-hand shooting.

The G26 continues to impress me. I thought the grip was too short but the 12 round magazines (The Magpul one is slightly better for me) give me a full grip on the pistol. I just have to watch reloading or I'll get some skin pinch.
I'm shooting 147 gr rounds almost exclusively now and out of the 3" barrel of the G26, the recoil is surprisingly mild. Maybe it's the double spring design, not sure, but it works.
Accuracy is more than fine, draw + fire drills are good at both 7 and 10 yards. And my Don Hume IWB holster is here and I'm breaking it in. The G26 is officially my Summer carry, along with my PSA Micro Dagger.
Good stuff.

Aside from needing more range time, that is? I need to clean and function check my carry weapon. I need to get a SOLID grip on the gun early if I'm going to expect to not have any problems point-shooting early out of the holster.
I need to figure out the proper seating of my hands on the 9mm for a proper pointing grip. I still like shooting the .45 more than the 9mm, and I'm better at it.
And, when I finished off with the .22, I was really anticipating the shot. I have to work on that.
I also learned I need to win a lottery game so I can buy a couple of Kimbers and the S&W .357 revolver. (I still want the Python 2020, but that S&W was really nice trigger pull.)

RMBS and lurker spouse tried the H&K CC9 with one or two magazines each. Definitely not a newbie's gun.
RMBS, lurker spouse, and RMBS mom shot the .32 ACP Walther PPK/S SD w/ a suppressor. With a little more practice, RMBS mom might qualify for her 00 number. RMBS thinks this should make the trip to TX.
Almost everyone fired five rounds from the H&K MR556A4 SBR (11" barrel). BIG muzzle flash and loud muzzle blast with every round.
RMBS and lurker spouse tried out the MP5 at 15 yards. An OK showing for the first time w/ an SMG.

LWRC 45ACP carbine. Not feather-light, but as a result recoil is minimal. Guy had the red dot zeroed very well, so pick it up, couple of quick shots at a steel plate about 35 yards away - ping, ping, ping. These PCCs are just the easiest platforms evah.

An AR 15, because I bought several before the law changed.
Some states, the Mini-14 is a good alternatives (if you get a recent mfg).
For home defense, a shotgun may be better than a rifle. For other rifle roles, it depends on what you want to use the rifle for.

After 10 shots, friend says he is out of #9 ammo. He has not hit a single target. We pause while he gets some more ammo, this time with #8 shot, from the car. He suddenly begins breaking clay pigeons. He continues hitting the targets, doing quite well for a beginner.
When we are done shooting he shows us the empty ammo box from his first 10 shots. In large letters on the box was "9 Pellet." He had started out shooting 00 buckshot loads, which only have nine pellets per round, as opposed to the 400 or so in a load of #8s.

I never even feel the recoil when I am shooting light loads at quail.
I do feel my heavy turkey loads a bit, but you are trying to be stealthy, so I don't know if that alters my perception.
I would think(?) I would feel it for sure shooting 00 buckshot, which usually have a pretty good powder charge!

I could tell he was shooting full power loads, but that is not unusual to see at the range. The budget 12 gauge shot shells tend to give you your money's worth, with a whole ounce and an eighth of shot and enough gunpowder to operate the crankiest of semi autos.
Me, I load my own gauge target loads, with only 3/4 oz. of shot, which is plenty for just breaking a target. In a heavy shotgun, they almost feel like you are shooting a .22

Five points of contact without counting the sling. For me, its the best CQB configuration available. Has the ergos of the AR but can be stuffed into a tennis racket case.
The Tavor is a bit clunky though when compared to the Desertech MDRx which is almost perfect for those who want compact sub MOA out of the box (the .300BLK is a dream)

The CBD-Less Food Thread
Good afternoon. CBD is out on secret assignment. Or he just wanted to take the day off from you Morons. I'm not sure. Just remember, if you fall asleep cooking to the Mystery Click, it isn't my fault!
One of the disadvantages of living in The Frozen Tundra is that travel can be difficult at Christmas time. The Misanthropic children are scattered across the country. So we have taken to holding Christmas the week of July Fourth.
We are busy preparing for our first guests which arrive on June 30th. One of our traditions at Christmas in December or July is The Fabulous's Bailey's Irish Creme Cheese Cake.
I've been advised this one is very close to her recipe. I'll clue you in on a little secret, use Dark Chocolate chips. Skip the bittersweet and/or milk chocolate. There will be a total of 9 people and 3 dogs here at Casa Misanthrope. Lots of grilling, fresh veggies and hopefully some fresh Lake Superior Lake Trout on the 4th. Thank you CBD for letting me fill in today.

Tons of fruit, and my wife and daughters make pies and tarts with the cherries. I usually make mead with the raspberries and mulberries. Haven't decided what to do with the elderberries, although is seems like jams/jellies or syrups are the only real options.

Well, this can appears to have caramelized itself in my hot kitchen over the last several months. Expiration date is still months away, don't worry. And the can was sealed. It was tasty.
I was going to top the cheesecake with fresh cherries from the tree, but not sure if I will like that paired with a caramel flavor.

In a moderate saucepan with lid, fry 8 pieces of thick bacon until crisp. Leave grease in pan; drain bacon, crumble and set aside. Saute one medium onion (chopped) in the bacon grease just until tender. Add 32 ounces of either bagged or canned sauerkraut; mix thoroughly. Add 8 to 12 ounces of unsweetened applesauce; mix. Add crumbled bacon; stir to combine. Bring to a simmer; then cover and simmer all day, stirring occasionally -- at least 4 hours -- the longer, the creamier. Can also be slow cooked in a crockpot or the oven. Can be served either warm or cold. Goes well with hotdogs, bratwurst, or sauerbraten. Enjoy!

The place hadn't been lived in for 50 years when my parents bought it and we were told live in owner was a very old man. In the room we used as a family room he had a wood stove that was piped into a what looked like a brick wall painted black and we assumed into the chimney.
I took a sledgehammer to the wall and low and behold there was a full cooking fireplace, sort of like the one above, complete with beehive oven behind the wall. Took a while to get it all cleaned up and repointed but that was a great fireplace.

I'm 29 twice, and I've been too hot since about 45.
I've been doing lots of salads, both green and meat.
Tuna with everything, chicken with apple and tarragon, either on a bed of greens or rolled up in a tortilla.
Green salad with the works--all kinds of vegs, crispy onion, cheese, cold meat, any vinaigrette makes a great meal.
Last night's dinner was leftover pork tenderlooin thin-sliced into a tortilla, with some hoisin sauce (twice-cooked pork wrap for the win!), and the last of some fabulous bean salad.
I made a gorgeous walnut cranberry carrot cake last weekend, and it has been awesome on many levels: dessert with a clear conscience, because it is really a vegetable, or breakfast because the same, unless I have fruit and yogurt. Have to keep in fridge because of the cream cheese icing, so added props for being cold and refreshing as well as delicious.
If it isn't cold, I'm not eating it right now.

Melt some butter in a large pan. Add chopped garlic and chopped onions, let the garlic and onions saute a bit to get it into the butter. Add chopped meat, add black pepper to the meat, don't mix, let the meat sit on top of the butter, garlic, and onion. Let it cook a bit. Add chopped potatoes, salt and pepper the potatoes. Don't mix, let the potatoes sit on top of the meat. Cook until the potatoes are almost done then mix it all. Cook the rest of the way. Maybe top off with cheese.

I only eat Italian cheesecake when I have the opportunity. American cheesecake - e.g. Junior's-style - is awful. Ricotta gives the Italian cheesecake a nice, grainy texture that is amazing to me. Not too sweet, either.

I made Blackened Redfish last week!!!
I was excited about that because it's been years since I've eaten BR. Seeing as how they were so overfished that they became a hard to find, luxury item.
Anyway, they farm them now and these were good. Redfish and the blackened style go hand in hand.
Long ago and far away, I was home from college for the summer to New Orleans and my Dad said, "Hey, come down to the office about 10:45. I want to take you to lunch at this new place. Don't be late or we can't go, the line will stretch around the block."
So, we get there just as the place opens and there's this big fat guy cooking in a kitchen about the size of a pantry. We got the last open table ( there were like 12 plus/minus 2). And Dad says, "we need to order the Blackened Redfish. They run out of it fast. The cook Paul Prudhomme invented it, that's him in the kitchen. It's really really good. People are crazy about it."
One of the best meals of my life. A truly new dish. I'd never tasted anything like that before.
So wherever I cook Blackened Red Fish, I get a nostalgia bomb about hanging with my Dad.
It's a twofer!

I only eat Italian cheesecake when I have the opportunity. American cheesecake - e.g. Junior's-style - is awful. Ricotta gives the Italian cheesecake a nice, grainy texture that is amazing to me. Not too sweet, either.

Taco Bell kept me upright when I was a poor young man stocking shelves in Arizona. But it's gone way downhill since.
Oddly, I like Del Taco crispy tacos. Inexpensive, and seemingly fresh. I've never tried their other menu items.

8-10 Meyer lemons (depends on size)
750ml 100-proof vodka
Simple syrup - ratio of 2 parts infused vodka/3 parts simple syrup
I carefully peel the outer skin off the lemons, making sure almost no pith remains (scrape on the inside with sharp paring knife). Put the skins in the vodka, leave under the counter in the kitchen for 5-8 weeks. Should be a distinct yellow hue to the vodka when done. Pour the vodka through cheesecloth, mix with room temp simple syrup, then it goes/stays in the freezer.
It's good.

Taco Bell? Probably not since ..... high school? They were kind of a novelty then.
But growing up mostly on good border Mex, and especially when the made-to-order fast-food Mex places became a thing in the 80s, those two gringo chains were always mostly a curiosity.

Finally came across the perfect place. Farmhouse with the barn right near the driveway. Sign. I get out of the car, the farmer's dog comes running up to sniff. Guy is on his small tractor. Vermont Yankee accent. Wearing a plaid wool jacket.
I always used to buy only Grade B (much more/better flavor, to me). Ask if he's still got any Grade B. "Think so." Follow him into the barn, he climbs up to a storage area. Fortunately, got his last can. The big rectangular ones with the handle, like kerosene used to come in. Was my best maple syrup buying experience.

When I lived in Washington State I often found myself puttering around the Columbia River in and around Chelan during the apple harvest. Often I would find unattended roadside stands chock full of fresh pick apples. Sometimes the rancher might post a price, sometimes not. The always present Folgers can would be full of cash. Making change like picking your apples was self serve. I sometimes wish I could go live those days one more time in the fall.

First World Problems
The past three summers have seen me falling behind on yard work. And oh boy do I have projects planned. Both on paper and in my mind. My current project is to clean up stepping stones. I'm also planning on installing several new 4"x 4" x 8' for bird feeder stations. Although I have a fair number of lawn and garden tools I do not own a post hole digger or a lawn edger attachment. So I called the local company whose name is, "Owner's Name Rentals, Sales & Service". I asked if I could rent a lawn edger and power auger. Well unless I had a tractor with a PTO they didn't have an auger for me. What about an old fashioned post hole digger? That wasn't there either. So I decided the bird feeders can wait. The sidewalk edger? It is an item that may or may not be on their Wish List. I then asked where I might find such equipment. I was advised of a national chain hardware store approximately 45 minutes away that has an outstanding rental outlet. Hmmm 90 minutes of drive time? I don't think so. So with a couple of shovels, some elbow grease and sweat, I was able to save a few bucks, keep the earth green and clean up those dang stepping stones.

Right after we moved here we told the guy at Home Depot's rental center that we wanted an auger. He asked what for and we told him we were digging holes to plant several vitex (chaste tree) plants. He asked where we lived and when we told him he said, "Auger won't do it. You're going to need a jackhammer."
He was neither kidding nor exaggerating. It's the only way you can dig any deeper than 2 or 3 inches in our yard.

There is now only one place that still offers those thin plastic bags we used to find (for free) at the store. They are perfect for dumping my vacuum debris into. The alternative is using the ones they charge 9 cents for and I for damn sure don't want to pay for those damn bags.
Happily the one place is the Class VI store on Ft Lewis. (Military liquor store) Thus, supplies are sufficient the next month or so.

The guy who tunes my piano says he's never been able to keep the post of his mailbox straight. He'll shim it and it will last for a few weeks or a couple of months but then lean again. So even though he has no handyman skills (bcse musician) he decided to rent a posthole digger and dig an official hole.
He discovered the post wouldn't stand up straight because it was resting on the front seat of a car. A completely buried car he knew nothing about.

If you are looking to put in top mounted feeders, I use black Iron pipe. I use 3/4" or 1" depending on size of feeder, three sections of pipe, two couplings and a flange to attach to the bottom of the feeder. Attach the coupler tightly to the pipe to be buried so the threads are not damaged by the hammer blows. Set the second coupler fairly high so squirrels can't aim for it to get over the squirrels guard, but low enough for ease of detaching the feeder for cleaning without fiddling with the flange.
Setting the feeder this way makes it easy to move occasionally around the yard.

In new subdivisions contractors will use the whole area as a dumpsite thinking they can bury everything deep enough. Broken equipment, generators, whole vehicles. One problem is giving food to termites, when they dump a bunch of lumber, depending on how it was treated. Also as stuff rots it can start the soil caving in.
My neighbors and I dug up all sorts of junk, along with giant rocks typical of around here.

My FWP (well one of many): my garage is completely filled with boxes, junk, more boxes, more junk, it's basically become a dumping ground. Throw in a rat problem that we had and you have rat poops etc (eew gross). I want to clean everything up but there's no room to organize stuff in situ or really even move around. I've let it go for too long and I can't take it anymore (not going to blame my wife, not going to do it...) So now I guess I gotta rent some pods or uhaul portable storage and go that route, in the heat of the summer.

We moved from a house outside the city limits to a house just a few blocks from downtown. We can hear city parades and festivals from our porch. We have great neighbors (helpful but non-intrusive) and we are enjoying being able to walk to church, the library, parks, and restaurants. It's been a good transition for us, especially having a smaller yard as our yard work ambitions have decreased.

Of course the following was written before last night's Iran strike. Rumor has it that Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is now waving an "I Stand With Iran" banner.
When you think of nationally elected democratic representatives and senators what do you think? Do you think of them as entitled, self-absorbed pond scum sucking weasels? If you do, who am I to judge! Do you think of them as hypocritical, self-serving, power hungry scavengers? If your answer is yes. You are not alone. Since November 7, 2024 it is nearly impossible to keep tabs on their immature behavior.

IRAN WAR: If Iran's Supreme National Security Council decides to follow the Iranian Parliament's vote to shut down the Strait of Hormuz the real victim will be Iran's economy. Over 90% of its oil exports travel through the strait. The US can easily bring more production online. Shutting down the strait would be suicide for Iran...

Oil from the Hormuz Strait supplies:

50% of China's total oil supply

Fun fact - you know who gets hurt most by closing that strait? China - that’s the source for a lot of their oil. Trump will actually be doing Xi a huge favor by blasting the Iranians even more.

A Strait of Hormuz closure would severely disrupt the global economy, halting 20% of oil and LNG trade, spiking prices to $100-$350 per barrel, and triggering inflation, especially in Asia (e.g., China, 50% oil reliance). The U.S., with only 2% of its oil from the Strait, faces milder impacts but would still see higher energy costs and inflation from global price surges. Global instability would hit harder than U.S. effects, due to diversified U.S. energy sources. Data varies; some exaggerate U.S. impacts, but evidence suggests resilience.

Oil is fungible so it would hit us - indirectly. But one side effect of this would be for TX oil fields to dramatically increase the rig count.
That being said, I must ask - close the Strait of Hormuz with WHAT?

Their bargaining chip was "more flexibility on the Iranian Nuclear program."
This was supposed to dangle a carrot in front of the more "sane" ME countries to form an informal coalition against the US.
NOW, however....that nuclear program is dust....and Iran is being forced to lie that it was moved previously (it wasn't)...because their bargaining chip with SA, Oman and Qatar depends on it still existing. It's why Russia is trying to give credence to the whole issue. Russia is running out of friends.

The 2020 United States presidential election had a voter turnout of approximately 66.7% to 66.8% of the eligible voting population, marking the highest turnout rate of the 21st century. This translates to roughly 158.4 to 159.7 million votes cast, based on various estimates.
In the 2020 presidential election, Wisconsin had a voter turnout of approximately 73% of its voting-age population, with nearly 3.3 million votes cast (3,298,041 to 3,308,805 according to different sources). This represented about 85% of registered voters.

I dispute those figures just based on the population figures of 18 and over , the percentage of registered voters and the total votes. Simple math shows it's 90% plus. The only variable that would change it is the percentage of registered voters. It would have to be somewhere in the range of 85-90% of eligible voters were registered. Normally the percentage is between 70-75%.

You're right. Based on this from Grok (below), I completed the math myself and came up with:
Registered turnout: 75.8% to 95.1%
Eligible turnout: 66.2% to 66.8%
In the 2020 U.S. presidential election:
Eligible Voters: Approximately 239.2 million citizens aged 18 and older were eligible to vote (voting-eligible population, or VEP).
Registered Voters: Estimates vary, but sources report around 168 million to 209 million registered voters. The lower estimate (168 million) comes from some analyses, while higher figures (209 million) are cited in others, reflecting differences in data sources or timing.
The discrepancy in registered voter numbers arises from variations in state-level voter registration data and post-election updates. For context, about 158.4 to 159.7 million votes were cast, yielding a turnout of roughly 66.7% of eligible voters and 65% to 66.6% of registered voters.

Thomas is right that Congress has the power to declare war, but Trump did not declare war. So many times in the past, the US president has taken action against another country without declaring war, explaining to Congress what he did and why. Otherwise, Reagan (Grenada), Bush (Panama), Clinton (Kosovo), Barky (Libya) would all be guilty.

Mr. Massie does not know what he is talking about. Yes, Congress has the power to declare war. That does NOT mean no military action takes place without it. (Were those who fought back at Pearl Harbor in Contempt of Congress?) War declarations are the abode of diplomats, not the military.
In fact, circa 1980 the idea was floated to declare war against Iran in order to force the country to recognize diplomatic protocols in regards to the embassy. Never mind that they trashed the Vienna Convention of 1961, Article 22, 24 and 45. Why they would have changed their minds in the event of a war declaration is beyond me. Which is probably why it wasn't tried.

So basically, closing the straits severely hurts pretty much everybody who was ridiculous enough to condemn the action, but the US - not so much. The Gulf Arab states, Europe, and especially China.
All except Russia, who most of those assholes is condemning over the Ukraine situation.
So it takes a swipe at all the "good guys", but leaves the "bad guys" pretty much alone. Plus, they might not be able to enforce it. You can't make this stuff up.
If the US wanted to say FU to those assholes, we'd do the same thing - close the Gulf.

Except that oil is fungible. It would sting for a bit - until, say, TX spins up oil production. Currently its active rig count is low. I'm sure this is the same for much of North America.
So if the Strait is closed, it will put a short term strain on supplies until more oil can be brought online - effective everybody for a time until supply can be increased.
Posted by: Cow Demon at June 22, 2025 02:00 PM (vm8sq)
All of their oil, the majority of it heading to China, goes through the strait.
The only benefit they'd get is higher oil prices as a result (Russia & Venezuela & OPEC would love it).
That won't do them any good if they can't produce and sell the product.

Sunday Morning Book Thread - 6-22-2025 ["Perfessor" Squirrel]
(HT: Pete Zah)
PIC NOTE
This was sent to me by Pete Zah. It's a great example of human ingenuity. When space is at a premium for bookshelves, there's always a way to stack them together, yet make them accessible upon demand. Although I don't think this would work at my house. It's not really designed for this type of bookshelf. Still, it's a cool idea. DRAMATIS PERSONAE Latin for "story people" (more or less), the Dramatis Personae in a work is a list of the characters provided at the beginning or end of a story. Plays have had this forever, as it's something of a necessity when casting actors to play the various parts. Within the script of a play, the Dramatis Personae is usually arranged from principle leads down to the extras. It also gives a bit of context for each role, indicating relationships, occupations, and so on. Nowadays, you may see a Dramatis Personae page (or pages) within a novel. It's a great way to keep track of characters, especially if there are a lot of them. The Malazan books by Steven Erickson and Ian C. Esslemont tend to have Loads and Loads of Characters, so you almost NEED a Dramatis Personae section in order to keep track of who is who. This is especially useful for tracking characters who belong to competing factions or nations, such as the Malazan Empire v. the Crimson Guard. Different authors handle the Dramatis Personae in different ways. Robert Jordan, for instance, includes a "Glossary" section in most of the Wheel of Time books which will also include descriptions of important characters, though not all of the characters in the story will be listed. For that, you need The Wheel of Time Companion, though I don't know if it lists ALL the characters in the books (approximately 2,700 total characters). Tad Williams will put sections for "People," "Places," "Things," and "Words and Phrases" at the end of his books, dividing the "People" section into various nationalities/ethnicities/races as appropriate. Note that the Dramatis Personae page does not have to be limited to lengthy doorstopper novels. Any length of novel can include a Dramatis Personae page if the author is so inclined. P.C. Hodgell's God Stalk is less than 300 pages and is a quick read, but has around 40 characters, so she put in a Dramatis Personae section so that the reader can identify who belongs to which faction and their relationships to each other, which is very important to the story. In Troy Denning's Star Wars: Crucible, there are only 14 principal characters, but he also included a Dramatis Personae page listing the characters, their gender, and their species where appropriate (e.g., "Marvid Qreph: industrialist (Columi male)").

With over 300 titles - over a hundred of which are new arrivals - there's something for everyone. Check it out now through Tuesday June 24 at: The Summer 2025 Based Book Sale I appreciate all you and the Moron Horde do to support indie authors. Thanks! Hans
Comment: Since stories about King Arthur are in the public domain, it's not surprising that authors have had a lot of fun with the source material. Some authors, like T. H. White and Parke Godwin, present a more "serious" version of the Arthurian legends, while other authors like Tim Powers and Peter David above, add a more light-hearted tone to the stories. Knight Life does sound like a book I would enjoy so I may have to check it out someday. And really, could King Arthur Reborn do a worse job of managing New York City than the current crop of politicians?
Now THIS is a comeback! Subject: Arthur Penn. (That's the name on his Amex card.) Occupation: Former king of England. Current (early 21st century) whereabouts: New York City. That's the premise for Knight Life by the late, great Peter David. I'm barely into the book, but Arthur has already picked up two followers, junkies who are so far gone they've forgotten their names. Owing to their love of rock 'n' roll, they call themselves Buddy and Elvis. Morgan LeFay is around, as is a woman named Gwen. The jacket blurb mentions Merlin -- and a mayoral election.

Comment: Culture seems to be hardwired into the human experience. Even the most primitive societies will develop cultural experiences that enhance their own lives, whether through art, music, dance, storytelling, or some combination of all of these. Nowadays, we seem to live in a society with a fractured culture, particularly here in the United States where we have fundamental differences between the Left and Right politically, to the point that it can be difficult to sympathize with our fellow men. What will archaeologists and anthropologists think of our society a hundred years from now? A thousand years from now? MORE MORON RECOMMENDATIONS CAN BE FOUND HERE: AoSHQ - Book Thread Recommendations
Now I am reading Culture: The Story of Us, from Cave Art to K-Pop. It begins in the famous cave in France in which archeologists discovered wall paintings around 15,000 years old. I just finished the first chapter, all about Egypt's Queen Nefertiti, and it is fascinating. She and her king husband did a religious right turn, developing a monotheistic worldview, and had the whole deep state against them, so much that they moved the court to a new place down the Nile, and built an entirely new capital city. Her era was around 1300 B.C., with Egypt at its all time peak of wealth. Posted by: Mr Gaga at June 15, 2025 11:22 AM (zeLd4)
- The Arabian Nights
- Tales from the "White Hart" by Arthur C. Clarke -- A collection of speculative fiction stories with the narrative framing element of all of them being tall tales told around a few pints down at the local pub.
- Timeline by Michael Crichton
- Star Trek: The Original Series - Crisis on Centaurus by Brad Ferguson -- I have this in paperback, but I thought it would be neat to own a hardcover edition. I didn't even know hardcover editions of these books even existed.
- The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein -- Seems like a classic I should read.
- Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein -- Another classic that I can now read. I have a copy of this same edition of the book, but this one is in much better condition and is "readable," i.e., it won't fall apart on me.
- The Pogo Peek-A-Book by Walt Kelly
- From the Corner of His Eye by Dean Koontz
- Boy's Life by Robert McCammon -- Not sure if I can read this or not. It's a paperback copy that was butchered and repackaged in hardcover format. Unfortunately, whoever did it screwed up the margins so sometimes the right or left side of the text is slightly cut off.
- The Mote in God's Eye by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle -- Another classic of science fiction that I feel I should read.
- Outies by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle -- The second sequel to The Mote in God's Eye.
- The Once and Future King by T. H. White -- The classic Arthurian story, which is really a retelling of Le Morte d'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory.
On the flip side we have the "Adamists," who have chosen to use conventional (for them) technological approaches to self-improvement. They incorporate a form of nanotechnology into their bodies, which enhances their own physical and mental abilities. Although they don't have the telepathy of the Edenists, they can share data with each other by "datavising" information back and forth. Basically implanted wireless technology in their brains.
Now both the Edenists and Adamists have to work together to defeat a threat from beyond the stars and beyond reality as they know it. Humans are becoming "possessed" by a strange energy virus that defies all natural laws as we understand them. A Satanic cult (yes, really) has brought something back from Unbeing.
Night's Dawn Trilogy Book 2 - The Neutronium Alchemist by Peter F. Hamilton
I'm still in the early stages of this book, but it's moving faster plotwise because now we are in the thick of the main conflict of this story. Humanity is losing as they do not fully understand the enemy they are up against. In an amusing subplot--and I swear I am not making this up--Al Capone has returned from beyond the grave and is now conspiring with other possessed humans to conquer the Confederacy. Meanwhile the brilliant creator of the "Alchemist," a doomsday device that can destroy a star, has escaped her gilded cage and is now free to roam the galaxy herself. Is her device the key to winning the war? PREVIOUS SUNDAY MORNING BOOK THREAD - 6-15-2025 (NOTE: Do NOT comment on old threads!)

The bookshelves remind me of some of the archival office shelving one sees now and again. I recall one agency that had a track system in the floor and one cranked the shelves one way or another to produce a single aisle where one could reach the records.
Totally obsolete now. All the records are electronic, but there was a period when mounting paper files required serious engineering.

I always keep a cheat sheet for my characters, noting appearance, equipment, actions, etc. so that if I have a break in writing, I have a summary to keep me up to speed.
The only time I used a Dramatis Persona was the first book of the Man of Destiny series, where I felt it was useful to give some snapshots of the various politicians to help bring people up to speed. I wrote it without it, and test-readers suggested adding it.

I saw every one of these masterpieces. Remember going to the movies almost every week? I do.
Blade Runner and The Thing were released on the same day to critical disdain and audience indifference. My friend and I both loved Blade Runner and to this day it remains one of my all time favorites. The Thing grossed me out into a full-blown panic attack, and it wasn't until years later that I grew to appreciate its grotesque excesses.
Potential actors to portray blade runner Rick Decker: Tommy Lee Jones (I could see that), Al Pacino, Nick Nolte, Burt Reynolds (more Sharkey, less Gator), Peter Falk ("There's just one more thing..."), and most horrifying of all, Dustin Hoffman. Luckily, Fancher's girlfriend Barbara Hershey had recently been speaking with Steven Spielberg while he was shooting "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and he raved about Harrison Ford.

This week, I finished two Jack Reacher novels, Echo Burning and Without Fail, the fifth and sixth in the series. Compulsively readable and fast-moving, they are not just action stories. There's plenty of that. But Reacher thinks, observes facts, and integrates them into conclusions in an Ellery Queen-ish fashion at times. Sometimes he reaches a wrong conclusion, and that provides impetus for plot twists. I'll try more in the series.

With my wife in England to see the places featured in the books she's read, I put "Knight Life" aside in favor of a couple of prewar Saint stories, one of which I'd never read thoroughly. I can't visit those sights, such as Croydon airfield, because so many of them no longer exist.
Meanwhile in "Knight Life," the former King Arthur is running for mayor of New York City as a stepping stone to higher offices, and, eventually, his throne. He has his old adviser Merlin -- make that young adviser, because Merlin is aging in reverse.
Merlin is also putting the band back together. Seems that several of the knights of the Round Table are still around.

The story is epistolary, told in sequence by three of the characters involved, a style Collins called multi-narration, which also adds to the depth (and length) of the novel. Interestingly, Collins wrote much of the novel while bedridden with gout, and under the influence of laudanum.
The moonstone is a highly valuable diamond which was stolen from an Indian temple many years previously, and Franklin Blake, as executor upon the death of his father, must give it to his cousin. Meanwhile, three Indian priests are dedicated to getting the stone back and returning it to its rightful place. When the stone disappears, both the location of the stone and the identity of the thief are in question. As the story progresses, more and more clues are revealed, and twists and turns abound. It is quite the story, although being written in the Victorian parlance, is not a fast read.

Haters of the classical, Golden Age detective story say such tales are artificial. True to a degree; that's the fun! But beyond that, Carr, who was a top-flight writer, draws the portraits of the people involved, including the murderer, with tremendous skill. Personalities are important in Carr's work, almost as much as locked rooms. And on top of that, the "impossible" part of the crime was not planned by the killer, but came as an accident -- making the whole venture riskier for the killer, and more plausible for the reader.

I have seen them all, but only got to Poltergeist in the last few years on streaming. Horror movies do not interest me. (I saw "The Thing" in sci-fi club, so it didn't count.)
Is "Blade Runner" an example where the movie is better than the book? I like the movie because it is film noir, but I understand the book is not, which is why I have ignored it.

I haven't read the book, but from what I understand, the world in this story is underpopulated. Ridley Scott felt that was just too depressing, and instead opted for the mad polyglot crush of an overpopulated Los Angeles, which is at least full of life.

I did however receive War Trophies - Weapons From Vietnam by Keith Seafield. I stumbled on this through Youtube gun channel references, track down a copy and ordered it.
It is not the reference book that I thought it was, and it has the fit and finish of an early 1990s yearbook. Lots of pictures, but uneven fonts, formatting and while it has page numbers, it does not have a functional table of contents nor an index. There's a list of articles up front, and then you flip pages until you find them.
The author apparently worked for an online firearm seller, and basically collected stories and information about Vietnam bringback guns from his customers. On the plus side, he did get some interesting stories and often provides photos of the paperwork, which is unique. Alas, much of the text is merely a copy/paste of the item description, and wikipedia (!) is repeatedly cited as a source. (cont)

I've never heard of her, but they looked interesting. Titles I got were The Venetian Affair, The Salzburg Connection, Above Suspicion, While Still We Live, Prelude to Terror.

I'm very much into film noir, and Blade Runner hit that sweet spot.
I think it's initial failure to find an audience was because people expected Ford to be like Han or Indy. I know when I watched it on video with my father, he liked it a lot and I found it off-putting. Only later, when I had watched noir did I get it. It's interesting that a lot of people - including Scott - didn't appreciate that aspect. If you remove the voiceover, you remove the noir. The fact that Ford was lackluster and bored actually is in character.

Howdy, Horde.
Finally getting around to Donald Westlake's posthumously published novel Memory (aka The Actor as a tie-in to the movie). Not a mystery/suspense, at least not so far but I'm only a third into it and Westlake was always good at twists and turns.
While I've enjoyed what Dickens I've read, I found Bleak House a bit of a slog and have bogged down twice now trying to read it (at about the hundred page mark). So I can understand not being able to read Bleak House -- but seven paragraphs? Jeez...

I've never heard of her, but they looked interesting. Titles I got were The Venetian Affair, The Salzburg Connection, Above Suspicion, While Still We Live, Prelude to Terror.
Anyone familiar with this author? Did I waste $2.50? Going to start in on them this week.

She was quite the seller in her day. I think her spy stuff is more the Ambler/Greene sort of thing, where an innocent, a non-spy, or several, are caught up in intrigue. Her Venetian Affair was filmed with Robert Vaughn in about 1967, and his rumpled journalist character, not a pro spy, is the lead -- about as far from the glamorous Napoleon Solo as you can get.
I think I've read Above Suspicion, and I think it involves a civilian married couple somehow -- more Hitchcock's The Man Who Kwew Too Much film than it is a Bond-type story.

I much prefer the cut with no voiceover. Many people miss that Ford is not the “hero” of the movie at all - Rutgers Hauer is. Ford is just the top slave catcher for a corrupt and evil regime.
Hauer is the true tragic figure at the heart of the story.

I read that report as well. One thing that wasn't said, today's writing is different than Dickens' era. It was denser, and had longer sentences than today's Hemingwayesque writing. Throw in unfamiliar terms for items, then you have to stop and find out what it was before you understand what the allusions are. That can bog you down. Reading dense, long writing puts a strain on your attention span. If you don't know the events or things being referred to, you lose interest.

"Selected Short Stories of Philip K Dick" assembled by the Folio Society.
The stories are arranged chronologically so you see PKD's development as a writer and the early interest in certain ideas which would become important to him later.
I'm still in the early stuff, which I would say are fairly typical 2nd or 3rd tier SF stories. Well written, well described but the ideas kind of just lay there with 20th century/Cold War concerns.
BONUS! This book was a Father's Day gift by the kiddos, and as a book it's just physically beautiful. Very well made for reading with a great font and spacing on the page. Binding and cover that should last forever. Nice illustrations.
My point is...if you just like books as a physical "thing" and have a novel that you read over and over. Give FS a look. They're overpriced so it's not an every day sort of thing.
HINT!: You can find them at used book stores generally for a very nice discount.

Killed at Resaca is still my favorite, about a lieutenant who unnecessarily exposed himself because his bitch fiance sent him a letter advising that another officer had called him a shirker.

You're free to like what you want, but without the voiceover it is no longer noir.
You also lose a lot of information, such as Deckard likening his old boss to a segregationist.
Put simply, the movie doesn't make sense without it. You can enjoy its absence because you can fill in the gaps. A first-time viewer would be utterly lost.

I highly recommend "The Mote in God's Eye".
It is one of the greatest SF stories ever written.
I am slogging my way through "The Reality Disfunction". I'm not enjoying it as much as his other works I have read. There are long sections where there is really nothing happening. He pops a new minor character in here and there, seemingly at a whim.
Would probably be more enjoyable to me if it was a bit edited.
Not Hamilton's best work, in my opinion. And yes it continues with his completely over the top episodes that I am getting tired of.

It's kind of a bait-and-switch. The first quarter of the novel is about our beloved chola, her tough upbringing, meeting Drake in juvie, an unplanned pregnancy, and signing up with the USCM. Then boom, cut to her death scene with Gorman.
It's really just setting the stage for her twins, one of whom follows in her footsteps and joins the Colonial Marines, the other aligning with the evil Weyland-Yutani Corporation. Eh, it's holding my attention.
Best part is, I learned from the list of Alien books inside that there exists "Aliens: The Official Cookbook" 😆 I assume a horrible version of the Turducken is offered. Darn right I've requested this from the library.

English majors should already be able to navigate Shakespeare. Dickens in his own day was regarded as a pedestrian writer, hence Evelyn Waugh's wicked ending to A Hand of Dust where a foolish upperclass guy is sentenced to read Dickens aloud to a blind man in the Amazon jungle forever.

Essay sections are divided as follows: Culture Wars, Economic Issues, Legal Issues, Political Issues, Educational Issues, Racial Issues. The last section is titled Random Thought, with short quotations from Sowell.
The book is an easy read because his columns were addressed to common people. Those people who read them were given a chance to think different than what the mass media was and still does brainwash them with.
Some essays are a bit repetitive but it was still a good libertarian refresher.
Do I personally agree with everything Sowell writes? Maybe not with 5%. But there are differences in time and circumstances which might explain that.

As for the bookshelves - I did a similar sliding-shelf system for DVDs in an entertainment unit in my house. Just last month, I bought a rotating bookshelf unit that I saw a demonstrated on Facebook - six feet tall, on a rotating base, and supposed to hold 300 books. It doesn't hold quite that much - but it packed a lot of my own books into a small and compact footprint. In spite of the height, it seems very stable, and even though built of bamboo wood, it's holding up well so far. I will send a pic of it to the Perfessor.

If you like Mote, their Inferno, a 20th-century rewrite of Dante, is good, as are Footfall (alien invasion), Lucifer's Hammer (end of civilization), and with Steven Barnes, The Legacy of Heorot, a star-colonist story with a terrifying antagonist. You'd think a book with three authors would be a mishmash, but not this one.

My great-grandfather saved the letters he wrote to his wife during WW I. They met in the spring of 1917, got married fairly quickly and he was drafted and sent to France, making it in time to be in the Argonne.
Afterwards he was in the Army of Occupation and then assigned to Black Jack Pershing's parade unit. Surprisingly to us, morale was at rock bottom, even though they toured Europe. The reason was that in July 1919, word got out that the Army was holding back VD cases from demobilization, so all the guys in the unit started getting "Dear John" letters!

My favorite translation has been Fagles' for its power and modern access. But Chapman's evokes, for me, echoes of aeolian flutes and lyres playing behind the words. The elevated tone seems appropriate for Homer and his importance to Western literature. It's not a replacement for Fagles but adds layers of richness.
It was Chapman's versions that inspired John Keats' poem that begins with:
"Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold,
And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;"
Pretty high praise.

Last week there was much discussion of the Civil War battle of Franklin, and I mentioned a great fictionalized version of the story of that battle by Howard Bahr called "The Black Flower," which I recommend very highly.
Now I've discovered that Bahr wrote three novels related to the battle of Franklin, the second being "The Year of Jubilo" and the third "The Judas Field," so I downloaded both and will read them this week.

I read, probably what is PKD's best novel, "The Three Stigmata of Eldritch Palmer" last week.
What a fun read! It's a wild amalgam of PKD's big themes -what is reality, what does it mean to be human, love, life, what is God, all neatly wrapped up into an oddball mystery/thriller type construct that proceeds logically(within it's world to the end).
The story concerns a competition between two drugs. One, Can-D allows people to live an alternate life for a short time. It's used by pioneers on Mars and elsewhere to relieve the boredom and smallness of their lives. The other drug, Chew-Z, allows you to "create your own world" for a short time, and was brought back from another planet by billionaire, Eldritch Palmer but seems to have side-effects.
One thing that PKD does that I love, and that I totally agree with as a writer, is that he wraps his ideas into the story. That is the philosophizing is wrapped into the action, characters, and story and never stated directly to the reader as a message as a lesser writer might do. To read the story is to see the ideas at play in "reality".
Definitely check it out.

I place the blame on the comic running too long. By that point, it was probably just published because they had been publishing it for the past 20 years. For everyone at the office, it was just another job. No one working on the comic seemed to understand what makes Conan special. Kinda sad. But at least Omnibus 10 (the final one of the series) features the return of Roy Thomas, the guy who first wrote Conan into comic books. He should do the character justice.

I attempted to read Dorchester Girl by Judith Kirwan Kelly, a memoir about growing up in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood in the 50’s and 60’s. Although the book is sprinkled with interesting historical tidbits, the rest of the stories were rather tiresome and I found the self-righteous tone mildly irritating. When I got to the part where the author made sure we knew that she and her husband are LGBT allies, I gave up.
Instead, I picked up Geraldine Brook’s People of the Book. It has lots of twists and turns. So far, I’m enjoying it.

Trailer Park Elves.
Arch (on youtube) reviewed it and it tickled me. And the elf on the cover is hawt.
It's LitRPG genre, which I'm not a fan of....though I do play RPGs. But it's pretty good, it's not concerned with epic quests or Dark Lords, it's a normie tech worker from Texas who gets zapped into...a trailer park, where he has to work as the manager. It has the trappings of a quest system, including leveling up. And most of the book is just getting errands done and fixing broken stuff.
The fixing stuff what appeals to me. (all right, and the hawt elves)
I would put it more accurately in the genre of 'man fixes stuff and gets pussy'. It takes a while for the sex to start but once it does, the book (and series) takes a turn towards porn. But if that doesn't scare you off, it's fun. Dunno if I'll bother reading the whole series or not, but the first book was worth the money.

🎵Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds don't usually go… -Who
My dreams lately have been strong and complex, but there's never anything to pull out of them. I wake up thinking, that would be an interesting story, but when I remember it, it's just confusing and random, no plot or story, really, just meandering characters.
I did have one funny dream the other night. I was standing watching the front doors of a building and people were coming out. A fellow came out and turned left, and I began to imagine his story, then a woman came out and turned right and I began to think of her story, then a couple walked out… and so on. They were just coming out too fast and frequently for my mind to come up with their stories.
But I bet they would have been interesting.

That novel is bloody awesome. The RSA goes full tilt in this one. A moderate government (such as de Klerk's) gets blown up, quite literally, on a train. A new government takes over which amps up apartheid policies to 11 and 12. The RSA's new government also begins picking fights with neighbors, specifically invading Namibia. It goes well...until Cuba intervenes. Then the United States enters the conflict. That's just the 30,000 ft view; there are a lot more intricacies to it. I read it when I was 17 and absolutely loved it. Sure, it's dated, as the Soviet Union features - somewhat - but still, a fun read, filled with lying, betraying and backstabbing.

"Oh I just love a man who knows where his 10mm is." She cooed as I slipped it into the top drawer of my MAC tool box.
I turned as she tried to slip into my arms. I side stepped her as I was covered in grease.
"I should wash up and finish filling out this work order."
"NO!" she cried. "Take me here, now. Incomplete paperwork so turns me on. I must have you."
This happens so often I have grown weary of all this sex. I know what they are doing. Trying to get some free mechanic work but I do them and charge them anyway.

Two Lois Lowry books: "The Giver" is fantastic. I hard it's frequently banned books; I wonder if it's because its message is anti-utilitarian and pro-life. "Anastasia on Her Own" had one of those contrived plots I remember from my own youth; forgettable, but it was fun to see old pop culture references like Clint Eastwood's "Make my day."

That was my first experience of my reading of a text being out of sync with everyone else's understanding.
As a kid whose parents doctored our ailing fruit trees and cut trees up for heating the house, I knew that when he cut all her limbs off, she would die. A done deal when he took down her trunk. It was her ghost that was "happy" when he sat on her stump in his old age.

Library shelving: Fiction is shelved in author's last name, alphabetically. What about multiple authors? Specifically, Preston and Child? In our local community library, sort of a giant Free Library - no check out, bring in any unwanted books, shelved by volunteers - I've found their books shelved in both the "C" and the "P" area. What, exactly, is the Rule? Would a book be shelved differently if they decided to label a book.with their names in reverse order?
I looked at your picture of your library sale finds, counted, and realized that the Pogo book, the Star Trek book, and The Arabian Nights are the only ones I haven't read, but I am familiar with many of the tales in the Nights. It's sort of like a reverse of the monkeys on typewriters, if you live long enough, you'll have read everything.

In the 1980s I'd gone back to grad school at Colorado School of Mines - distinctly a technical and engineering college. They offered me a TA, and I found myself teaching, essentially, a remedial math course. Monitoring it, really, since it was self-taught. It was a course for incoming foreign students to acquaint and familiarize themselves with math in the English language. OK, fine.
What surprised me was the number of US students in that class; the entry-testing had revealed math weakness among them. How, I wondered at the time, do you apply for an engineering college without having a thorough facility in math?
It's sad, that ENGLISH majors are not literate readers, but this problem goes way, way, way back, too. Would-be ENGINEERS who do not comprehend Algebra II...

* Anachronism is my pet peeve (Especially parachronism, like all Stephen King dialog written after 1979) and also obvious bad editing. For example; I just read a crappy airport book which was otherwise a lot of trashy fun, but every weapon was a "Glock". "I slid my hand down to my trusty worn Glock". "I turned my head and found myself staring directly into to the barrel of a Glock." "I could see the bulge of a Glock under his arm." "Looks like this poor bastard took two from a Glock." I can deal with the hero getting shot through the "meaty part of the thigh" six times in the same book, sometimes even expect it, but there is no possible teenager in 2025 who would use the word "foxy".

Top Story
- 80% of patients in a recent study were cured within six months - of Type 1 diabetes. (Hartford Courant) (archive site)
The subjects of the study were the subset of diabetes patients who have hypoglycemic unawareness - that is, they also lack the usual warning signs that their glucose levels are dangerously low.
That was not specific for the treatment, but made the treatment more necessary.
Because there is a big downside. The treatment involves using stem cells to recreate the missing pancreatic islet cells that generate insulin, but leave the patient needing lifetime immunosuppressant treatment - which is probably not an improvement over diabetes for most patients who don't also have hypoglycemic unawareness.
But still, it works. It's an option, and if the immune issue can be resolved, it's a cure.
Tech News
- The Acer GM9000 is a "bargain" PCIe 5.0 SSD that you can't buy anywhere. (Tom's Hardware)
It seems decent on paper, with top read speeds of 14GBps and write speeds only slightly slower, random I/O performance of 2 million 4k blocks per second, Micron TLC flash, on-board DRAM cache, and worst-case write endurance of 800TB per TB of storage.
The only problem is it doesn't seem to be for sale anywhere, except for one listing from China on eBay, making it impossible to judge value for money.
- If you were looking for an updated Linux driver for your 1994 SoundBlaster AWE32 sound card, you're in luck, because now there is one. (Tom's Hardware)
Only problem is that it's an ISA card and ISA motherboards haven't been made for twenty years.

There's a certain amount of truth in that. Sleeper cells. Suicidal attacks on US assets in the ME and elsewhere.
Not being measured is what would have happened once Iran achieved full nuclear weapons capability plus developing their missile systems to the intercontinental level.
No time to rest on your laurels. This is a long ride. Islam's genie needs to be shoved back into the lamp.

Iran's leader Ayatollah Khamenei is in a bunker, all his electronic communication suspended to protect him against assassinations and communication with him is limited and difficult. Until he speaks, Iran’s definitive response to U.S. strikes on nuclear sites is not clear.

Zero outside assistance from any allies who either can't help, or simply won't. All their little terror proxies are either disrupted or disillusioned from their puppetmaster having hung them out to dry too many times. Their ace in the hole is now *really* in a hole as of last night. They got nothing. If their official response to being systematically dismantled by the Great and Little Satans is to hide in the basement and cry, then it's over. They rule by terror alone, and now their terror is gone. The people won't suffer the indignity of letting impotent cowards remain their lords for very long.

Then Mrs. F. gets a call from her uncle very upset and angry that uncle was not asked to attend.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at June 22, 2025 06:54 AM (omVj0)
The problem there is that Type I Diabetes is genetic. (Hollywood has often made use of kids born with Type I because they tend to be short and can play much younger children while being able to understand more demanding dialogue.) Until you can edit it out, using the patient's own stem cells isn't going to work very well.
Much work is being done to overcome rejection, such as making a custom virus that makes the tissue to be implanted look native to the immune system. In the case of pancreatic tissue, there has been research into keeping the tissue in some form of isolation that allows it to perform its function but is kept hidden from immune response.

Agreement here:
@AGHamilton29
The reason The Islamic Republic now has limited response options is that Israel took out their main terror proxies (not inc Iraq militias) and then spent the last week defanging their military and dwindling their ballistic missile supply (destroying stockpiles, launchers, and drawing their fire).
Israel made the cost-benefit analysis a lot simpler for Trump. That’s why it’s important to have allies that can carry their own weight.

The intercepted and decrypted Japanese message traffic before and during WWII make it seem the Japanese command truly thought they had a significant number of agents ready to perform sabotage in place on US soil. The fact that we had been reading their mail was kept classified until the late 70s, when small computers affordable for individuals made the WWII era encryption a moot point.
This was long after the US government had gone into apology overdrive for the internments, despite knowing that many agents of Japan were likely included and kept their status secret for the rest of their lives.

There were drones in the middle of the night that made it to nowhere but the missile attack was around 7AM today.

The problem at my place is that they have stuffed the ranks with a lot of 30 YO senior project engineer/principle engineers DEIs and can't offer anyone new a decent salary let alone the lower ranked people who actually perform.
It used to be you need 15-20 years in-grade and had to be good in order to get to that level.
Plus all the capable people are looking elsewhere because there is no upward mobility as a result.
There's a giant plug of useless, shiny new, upper-level engineers that have immobilized things.
So management decides to go after the people that are easiest to get rid of.

I don't know if he said "very" few, but their stock is pretty depleted. They were launching multiple times as many missiles in the first couple of days vs recent days. I don't know how many were fired over the last 24 hours. Maybe not too many.
With the nuclear sites gone, I would think the missiles and missile launch sites would be getting a higher priority now.

“It is already clear that a dangerous escalation has begun, fraught with further undermining of regional and global security,” the Russian foreign ministry adds in a statement.
You might have a leg to stand on, Vlad, if you hadn’t committed a gross violation of international law in February of 2022.
It sucks that you can’t complain about other nations defending their own national security just like you claimed you could do against Ukraine & NATO encroachment.
We warned the Iranians for two decades not to build nukes, just like you warned NATO for twenty years not to expand further eastwards.

Medvedev has been talking out of his ass for awhile now.

I think he’s just talking tough to set himself up as Putin’s tough guy replacement when that time comes, eventually.

I didn't know the nuclear weapon community agreed upon universal interface, mounting, deployment, and maintenance standards.
Delivery gets interesting. When figuring out who to retaliate against and your nation's radiation signature shows up at ground zero do you think the receiving country is going to just shrug their shoulders?
But what is best about this is Dmitry is saying the quiet part out-loud: Iran was indeed building nuclear weapons.

I think it's a given, because of Iran's Islamic and Middle East culture being all honor and revenge oriented,
that they'll try some form of revenger the bombing. Probably, something on the order of the bombing attack on the night club in Germany years ago.
It's stupid because Trump's already warned them that there are plenty of targets still in Iran.
Also, I believe this is the reason he's stopped the Israelis from taking out the Ayatollah and his son. If Ian wants to keep playing this game, well, that chip just went on the table.
So, we'll see if they're smart or just have to get all revengey and shake their little islamic fists and wind up hurting themselves.

Obola gave Iran 1.7 billion.
Biden freed up 16 billion for Iran.
Must be Trump's fault.

I gotta laugh. It's such PURE BS. Not only have none of them lifted a finger to help Iran, but most of them are probably terrified at the prospect of some crazy Shiite with a Nuke. They're probably drinking champagne behind the scenes, toasting the "Great Satan", and getting a good belly laugh out of it.

Why don't we EVER hear how Iran has it coming after decades of global slaughter?

Is The View a network show, or streaming? In other words, if I felt like self-flagellation tomorrow, where would I watch it?

Good morning! Still around, Wolfus? You can find the shows on YouTube after they've streamed.
