Baby elephant's first bath is kind of a mess. Dude just got accepted to Hogwart's. Baby girl plays with fawn. Sometimes a grizzly just wants to hang out. Dog brings his mistress a special gift every time she's in the bathtub. I'm going to name my band Ghost Wolf. I'm sure that's never been taken. Wienerdog: If they call me a "wiener," why then, gosh darn it, I'm going to act like a wiener!

The Phoenix Symphony Orchestra has ceased operations. Artistic types say Trump, MAGA, the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 and every American are to blame. Can't be that their model has broken down completely. If you're not showering musicians with subsidies, awards and prizes, then you obviously hate art and likely a Nazi.

I've blown penguins all my life. I mean, you can ask anybody who knows me and they'll tell you-I blow penguins. I'm not particularly proud of blowing penguins. But I blow penguins. It's just something that I do, something that I've always done. The only source I can think of that would spread this kind of misinformation, that I don't blow penguins, would be that it's coming from Israel. I mean, think about it. It's the only thing that even makes sense.

Well, the task of making arrangements to put my mother in the ground are complete. There's a big hole around here with her departure, and it will take some time to adjust to it -- a big part of our lives was about her and her care for the past couple of years.
She outlived just about all of her generation contemporaries, and a more than a few of the level below her. She was the last of my parents generation in the family. So, a big chapter around here has closed.

I'm jealous of those who learned another language really young and are fully bilingual. The popular young right-wing podcaster and journalist Angela Rose spent a good part of her youth in her mother's native Peru and speaks perfect Spanish. Kai Trump's BFF, the popular influencer Emma Markin, is Costa Rican-American and spent a lot of her youth there and is fully bilingual.

The incident occurred on October 11. The two teams playing that night were the Baltimore Ravens and the Atlanta Falcons, a game the Ravens won 30-23 in overtime.
Richmond Police say they received a call around 11:30 p.m. for a reported domestic disturbance.
Upon arrival, they spoke with an adult woman, who identified herself as Ward’s wife.
The responding officer revealed that the woman stated Ward had previously tied her up to a chair using tape in their home’s basement.
Police said that the woman had marks and sticky tape residue around both of her arms.
She told police she had been tied up for between 30 and 45 minutes while he watched the Ravens and Falcons upstairs alone.

I only remember a handful of words. Use it, or lose it.
The texts and study materials I had for Russian (this was 1983 and 1984) were so....Soviet. Other language classes had shiny, interesting, textbooks and study guides.
Russian was a small, almost cube-shaped book, black and white drawings when absolutely necessary, but very basic and spare.

Again: Unnamed Deep State Officials Push Democrat Conspiracy to Washington Post, Alleging Trump Plan to... "Interfere in the Elections"
Well at least these " " " intelligence " " " officials are presenting us with very specific, very actionable "intelligence." "Something bad might happen. We don't know what it might be. We should prepare for a wide range of events, including the Null Event where nothing happens at all. In fact, maybe we should put our money on that last one."
Everything old is new again. The Trump-deranged deep state is dusting off its bag of tricks before the midterm elections. The Wasington Post, a reliable hand-maiden of the leftist, bureaucratic apparatus, is gleefully reporting that a group of "security officials" with experience "countering authoritarianism abroad" is warning the Trump administration will interfere in the midterm elections. It's all so tedious, parading out the old "group of experts say..." influence operation. Memories of the "51 intelligence officials confirming Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation" maneuver come flooding back. By the way, the Hunter Biden laptop was, in fact, not Russian disinformation but Hunter's actual laptop. "All of them have said we're concerned but we don't know what to do," one member of the group said of its meetings with lawmakers. "The outcome that we hope for is that states would be prepared for any contingencies should they arise," the person continued.
The WaPo propaganda piece offers no specific evidence Trump is going to deploy the military or immigration agents to voting locations or confiscate ballots and voting machines or otherwise interfere in the election. In fact, the Pentagon has denied it has plans to deploy troops to voting locations and the Department of Homeland Security stated it will only respond at polling locations for genuine public safety threats. There is no reason to even write this article other than to elevate the fever dreams of the "resistance" and cultivate paranoia.... Just this past weekend, one of CBS's imbecilic journalists, Leslie Stahl, questioned Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon about sowing seeds of distrust in the election process by prosecuting people who voted illegally.As usual, Democrats claim that anything a Republican says which raises the prospect of election cheating is a crime against democracy because it undermines faith in elections. Meanwhile, they shart out their 19th conspiracy about Trump doing something to hijack the elections.
@samueljrob Slotkin is a CIA spook and Bolshevik. Democrats are confession through projection.
Slotkin is confessing their plans to employ Color Revolution tactics, which she's employed in other countries to overthrow governments by creating chaos.
https://t.co/A0UxiCJyE0— Pax Trumpiana (@CincinnatusPax) October 21, 2026
Stahl: Only a few folks have been found to commit this crime when we were going out of our way to not investigate so you should definitely keep not investigating it.
Harmeet: Let me speak slowly in the hopes you'll comprehend how rule of law and law enforcement work.— Mollie (@MZHemingway) October 19, 2026

You really should look up the last 4 or 5 threads DataRepublican has put up starting yesterday.
This color revolution is being run by a bunch of former USAID and NGO drones along with former "national security" types. It's highly organized and well funded.
DR believes the WaPo piece you linked was specifically to get in front of her reporting. This is not a conspiracy theory, this is a seditious conspiracy designed not to just take Trump down but to take down the federal government and replace it just like they did in Ukraine and just like they are attempting to do in the EU.
It's the same groups funding all of this.

Two days ago, Australian MP Helen Haines was deliberately run over twice by a pro-Palestine activist outside her office. Today, both her legs were amputated.
Despite her speaking out about Gaza, he still didn’t consider it enough, so he tried to murder her.
This is the Palestinian cult at its core, a terrorist movement.

They get off on accusing others of what they do, while claiming they were above such things. Obama and Hillary do this too often for it to be a mistake. It's fun to blatantly lie to normies and then watch the NPCs simply accept it and parrot it back to them.

If the Republicans hold or increase their margins in both the House and Senate then the elections were stolen, all Trump administration officials need to be immediately arrested and jailed, charges to be determined shortly, 6 to 10 years, tops. And the elections are invalid and will need to be held again, entirely by mail.
If the democrats win both Houses, the elections were just fine, anyone who questions any of them will be immediately jailed charges to be determined shortly, 6 to 10 years tops and impeachment votes for all impeachable Trump administration officials will be held in the House as soon as they can select committee chairs and members.

the revolutionary and civil wars took over a decade to turn into armed conflict, so I wouldn’t expect any immediate reactions such as that. Regardless of historic platitudes of Americans being something different.
Just because people aren't posting their intentions on social media doesn't mean people aren't planning for these possibilities. Get off Reddit and look around your community if you want to find out what's happening and participate.
100% It kills me how many people shit on "No Kings." The point of No Kings isn't to maintain a constant, distruptive protest movement. It's intended to connect people and start to build grassroots movements though those connections, which is literally what happened to me.
Speaking of election interference, it still blows my mind that the whole Jan 6 thing with him actively leading the attempt at the subversion of democracy in America didn't disqualify him from future office.

They have no original thoughts,the liberals. Same playbook, but this time they stole from ours. With a bit of President Trumpian words of having his election stolen in 2020 and a twist of January 6th. Shaken, not stirred.
They bore me.
In reality their drumbeats, from the little crumbs I gather from not being on X, is they want to elect Dim radical officials in various states to claim state's rights (something they do not recognize with abortion), and ignore the federal govenment.
A confused bunch of hysterics.
The problem with this retarded thinking, from what I can tell as a wonky-minded yahoo, is SCOTUS has repeatedly said states have no power to declare federal law void.

The problem, as I see it, is that Americans have more guns than the UK or Europe. Which is why they want to take them away.
I my family's corner of a county, they have a facebook posse (the name escapes me). If there is crime, they take care of it before the deputies show up. This is a microcosm of America.
With one incident the black deputies told my brother and a neighbor to "just shoot him if he returns" to save them from having to deal with it. Lol.
In another incident, a large family of landholders from their grandpa, hunted a guy down who tried to steal a truck and fled to the woods. Held him at gunpoint til the deputies arrived.

Just yesterday yahoo "news" was reporting on the coming blue wave. The liberals really truly believe that a blue wave is coming.
It is not impossible for the democrats to retake both the house and senate but it is very doubtful. While they may win the house they will have a razor thin majority just like republicans have now. The senate appears to be out of reach for them regardless of how much the fake polling shows them winning all of the toss up senate seats.

They don't want a hot war. They want chaos. They spent a year rioting across the country, almost exclusively in blue areas, and Democrats cheered them on. Space to destroy.

The illegal alien who spoke no English -- especially when he's being questioned under oath, when his English language ability plunges to zero -- but got elected as the Democrat mayor of Lawrence, Massachusetts because the Democrats completely changed the population of the country has been -- get this -- arrested for stealing American taxpayers' money.
This story is several months old but there's fresh news -- the city council at least voted no confidence in his leadership.
Lawrence city councilors voted no confidence in Mayor Brian DePeña Tuesday, formally casting doubt on his ability to lead as he battles more than two dozen state and federal charges. Five councilors voted in favor of the no-confidence resolution, one opposed it, and three declined to take a stance. But given the City Council has no legal authority to remove DePeña from office, the vote amounted to more of a political statement than an action item. DePeña, 61, has rebuffed calls for his resignation and pledged to continue serving, even despite growing support for a recall election to potentially remove him from office. The two-term Democrat was initially arrested in August on federal charges stemming from alleged pandemic loan fraud, with prosecutors saying he misused more than $1.5 million meant for a local business he owned. The political firestorm continued last month as Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell's office announced DePeña had been indicted on wiretapping charges for allegedly sharing an illegally recorded conversation between two city staffers.
Cucked coffinrobber Emmanuel Macron says ignore all the video showing black and brown looters and palestinian flags, none of the looters are immigrants and Trump is a big liar.

Tucker Carlson repeatedly kvetches that the Trump administration hasn't done enough about Antifa. Andy Ngo repeatedly corrects him. Carlson: "I am surprised that two years into this administration, we still haven't seen a systematic attempt to understand what Antifa is and who pays for it. Where's that?" Ngo: "I actually think the administration has done a good job. I'll name out sort of the things that have been taken by the federal government. A lot of people forget or don't remember what's happened. So in the autumn of last year, Donald Trump announced that his administration would be treating Antifa as domestic terrorists. There was a big executive order... But from there, then the State Department proscribed, banned four European Antifa groups. So making them designated foreign terrorist organizations... That was the first time an international Antifa group had ever been proscribed by the U.S. government." "So the federal government has done a lot. I think, of course, they can always do more." Carlson: "Has anyone been charged for sending money to Antifa?... Because if I gave money to Hamas or Hezbollah, I'd get a FBI raid at my house." Ngo: "There was a really big case actually earlier this year, in Texas, a federal prosecution, it was the first time that accused Antifa members of a North Texas Antifa cell had been charged with providing material support to terrorism, attempted murder, and many, many other felonies... So there have been 15 who have been federally prosecuted and are accused in charging documents of being part of an Antifa network."
French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday hit out at the "unacceptable and stupid comments from many foreign leaders" in the aftermath of unrest which rocked several French cities over the weekend. "Some people have claimed that we've been overrun by hordes of migrants and Islamists, which is completely false," Macron told reporters during a trip to Qatar. His comments were a clear swipe at U.S. President Donald Trump, who this week railed that France is "being conquered, looted, and burned to the ground by migrants, jihadists, and Communists." While hundreds of thousands of protesters in France demonstrated peacefully over the cost of living and school conditions at the weekend, the mayhem -- including public buildings being set on fire, stores being looted and clashes with riot police -- sparked widespread condemnation in France and abroad, including in the U.S., where Trump is using the French unrest to rally voters ahead of November's midterm elections.You know who doesn't love France? The hordes of angry, violent Third World conquerors you invited to live off the French welfare system before they seize the country entirely.
There is no evidence tying last weekend's incidents in France to immigration. Macron said Trump is "among" a group of political leaders who are campaigning "off of France's back," adding, "it's at times like these that you can tell who loves France and who doesn't."
Right-leaning leaders in other European countries like Hungary and Poland also tried to pin the unrest in France on immigration to justify their countries' hard-line policies on the divisive issue. Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar said on X that the chaos that engulfed several French cities makes it "clear to everyone why Hungary advocates the strictest possible approach to migration."Of course the savages aren't all immigrants. Many a stupid, lazy, envious, venemous communists. I linked a tweet about this rich bitch communist influencer. Here's an article about her:
A woke French student has become the běte noire of the protests after she mocked business owners who lost their stores in the riots. Lola-Fleur Whittaker, a leftist political influencer who studies at the prestigious Sciences Po Paris, appeared on a TV show Monday to defend the rioters. "Your little shops, that's real cute," she said during an argument about who was to blame for the weekend's violence on her appearance on La Grande Confrontation. But the privileged student was confronted by Jhemima Sheilha, owner of a chain of bakeries who had seen her businesses looted. "It's my life, Lola," Sheilha said. "We've had to see our businesses smashed. What justifies terrorizing people's lives?" Whittaker subsequently tried to paint herself as a poor victim, claiming that her mother is a teacher who eats cookies for lunch because she can't "pay for the cafeteria." But she was quickly outed for a social media profile that revealed she's more bourgeoisie than proletariat. She regularly shares pictures of vacations in exotic locations around the world, including Sicily, Greece, Malaysia, Egypt and Oman.The NFL has one of its international matches scheduled for Sunday in Paris. Apparently they're going ahead with the game despite the obvious security risks. Marco Rubio says "It'll be fine, mate." I don't know about that.Whittaker, who earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Manchester, previously stood as a candidate for the far-left political party France Unbowed in Paris and is also a prominent leftist influencer. During Monday's heated debate, she also appeared to bizarrely suggest a link between the recent rioting and the attacks on Algerian immigrants by French police back in October 1961, La Depeche reported. Whittaker was not immediately available for comment.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said on Wednesday that he's "leaving shortly" for France to attend the first-ever NFL game there and he's confident it will be safe to attend and play the game due in no small part to assurances he received from United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio, which were confirmed to OutKick by Rubio himself. "We're involved at the highest levels both in France on a global basis with our officials here, including, I had a conversation here with the Secretary of State a couple of days ago," Goodell said at the close of the Fall League Meeting in New York.
"So we're continuing to make sure we have all the available information, make sure appropriate steps are being made. We're guests in the country. We're going to be good guests. We're going to do our thing and I'm confident they're going to do theirs." Rubio on Wednesday confirmed to OutKick and Fox News Digital that he spoke with Goodell. "Our embassy feels the game will be fine," Rubio told OutKick and Fox News Digital. "We have no indication the game will be impacted in any way." Rubio will not be attending the game but it has nothing to do with recent events. "I was never planning to go anyways," Rubio said.
The terrorist who paraded the naked body of a murdered Israeli woman just got a one-way ticket to hell.
Tuq'r Qarlson maintains that Hamas is only "supposedly" a terrorist organization, and "seems like a political organization to me."
The Israeli Defense Forces took out the last Hamas operative involved in the kidnapping and murder of hostage Shani Louk during the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack. Tamer Muhammad Ibrahim al-Sabbagh, who was among the men caught on camera abducting Louk, 22, and parading her half-naked body around Gaza, was killed in an airstrike on Tuesday, the IDF said. Al-Sabbagh was seen in the infamous Associated Press photo of Louk's body as he sat right beside her as he and his fellow terror operatives howled in victory while driving off in a pickup truck during the terror attack. The men were quickly identified in the aftermath of the Nova music festival massacre, with the other Hamas operatives taken out during the height of the war in Gaza. Al-Sabbagh was allegedly working to carry out future attacks on Israeli troops and civilians while stationed in Jabalia when he was located by the Israeli military.

Lived there two years and loved it, and would go back if we could. It's hard if you don't know Polish, and we didn't, but we managed. Food has improved tremendously since we were there, and it was pretty good then. People are no nonsense, but decent, and it was a joy to see people going to church on Sundays in all the neighborhoods. Nuns and priests walked around and greeted people, and if they could speak English, would chat happily with us.

Tennessee Titans coach Robert Saleh passionately defended Jordan Elliott's character and said that last week's gun-related incident involving the defensive lineman was "a call for help more than a criminal act."
Saleh confirmed that Elliott attempted to retrieve a gun from his car last Thursday following an altercation with a teammate at practice. The first-year Titans head coach vouched for Elliott, calling him a "good man."
"[Elliott] had a terrible lapse in judgment that I recognize as a call for help more than a criminal act," Saleh said Wednesday. "It's unfortunate the way it went down. As far as Jordan's concerned and the locker room and all that, I think people see it differently here than the knee-jerk reaction of the world."

His shrillness and red face are worse in the last few years. I have to wonder if it's menopause. Men have seemed to pause for him and his obnoxious gigglefest. Bleah.

🚨 JUST IN: DOJ court filing on the Ilhan Omar search warrant identifies her as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi"
"AKA, Ilhan Abdullahi Omar..."
THERE IT IS!
Elmi is the same family name as Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, the BROTHER she married in 2009
That's the federal government listing ELMI as her primary name, and "Omar" as the alias!
DOJ is now asking a judge for more time before it responds to press groups all trying to unseal the warrant for her D.C. home.

Which team is the 'designated' home team for this game?
Will that team be penalized by the (surviving) refs when the red-green mob storms the field, commences killing everyone on the field and sidelines, and as a final insult, tears down the goalposts? What would the resulting unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against the home team for unruly fans be? 15,000 yards? Maybe the home team will be instead be simply forced to forfeit? Maybe Goodell makes an executive decision and rules the game a tie?
Asking the important questions now. The ball is in your court, Roger!

having a poor and large population benefits the billionaire overlord class(mark carney himself) the most so.. goodbye old Canada
I'm a dyed-in-the-whool socialist and I think we have a severe immigration problem. It's clear the Liberal governments have a conservative immigration policy: one which serves corporations, universities/colleges, banks and landlords.
A socialist immigration policy would bolster public services with doctors, nurses, daycare workers, social workers, etc.
It would increase refugee resettlement; people who, in my professional experience, development a high level of gratitude and love towards Canada and their new communities.

LOL: Netflix Fires Its Head of Film Development, Apparently Due to Its Looming "Narnia" Disaster
Wokeslop Video Game Company Bioware Transitions to "Out of Business" (Pronouns Was/Were)
I mentioned on Friday that Netflix had slashed 1,000 jobs, which is a 6% reduction in its total workforce.
It wasn't just the drones who got the sack."Everyone is collateral damage." That's how one top Netflix insider summarized another bloody Monday at the streamer, which saw Dan Lin ousted as the company's head of film. Following last week's 6% workforce reduction at Netflix -- which claimed victims including chief content officer Bela Bajaria and Lin's right-hand Doug Belgrad -- consensus said it was a matter of time before co-CEO Ted Sarandos would show Lin the door. It took a day. On the heels of the Bajaria news on Thursday, Sarandos rang Lin on Friday to tell him he'd been dismissed, three sources told Variety. The exec kept his head up and pressed on through the weekend, appearing at Saturday's Academy Gala (in the same room as Sarandos) and at a Sunday tastemaker screening to support the filmmakers of "La Bola Negra." As has been summarized in many articles about the Netflix purge, creative leadership at the company is being overhauled amid poor stock performance and declining user engagement on the platform.I wonder why. Clay Travis has a Conspiracy Theory:
Clay Travis
@ClayTravis Netflix is firing all of its top creative leadership after their strategy of make every character gay and trans and every white person black failed to produce strong subscriber growth.
Yes but that was an ideologically-driven feminist making a movie for her fellow feminists out of a toy property designed for girls. It was a natural fit. She didn't gender-bend Barbie, as she did with Aslan. Actually I believe there was a "Trans Barbie" in the movie, but not the Barbie, and anyway, leftwing feminists are all about being Queer Allies. I don't think the Christian families who are the target audience for a Narnia reboot are going to enjoy the Everything for the Gays and the Girlies tone Gerwig will bring. CosmicBookNews's Matt McGloin says he hears the Narnia film -- actually The Magician's Nephew -- is "woke slop."
Competing narratives are flying about why Lin was let go, but they arrive at the same conclusion: In the end, it wasn't working....
There are also some interesting leaks around tension he's said to have with A-list filmmakers like Greta Gerwig and Ben Affleck, which we'll get to. ... Four sources with knowledge of the matter said that, indeed, Lin and Gerwig had a falling out during a Zoom call about the project earlier this year. On a virtual meeting populated by numerous Netflix executives, Lin is said to have been "dismissive" to the director in conversation about the progress of the film. Lin is known in town to be incredibly fair, but at times obtuse in his frankness. Word travelled fast around Netflix that the meeting had gone south, at which point sources said Bajaria called Gerwig's producer Amy Pascal to smooth things over. Two sources also said that Gerwig's new, all-powerful CAA agent Bryan Lourd went to Sarandos directly over the faux pas. Lin was subsequently disappeared from the film, all sources concurred, and Belgrad stepped in as the primary Netflix exec overseeing the project (until, of course, he was laid off last week). None of the sources suggested the incident led to Lin's firing. One Lin defender said he's never "afraid to talk about how to make a movie better." Another person familiar with the company said there are any number of filmmakers who could say the same about Lin's delivery. While it may be juicy to speculate that Gerwig's follow-up to the game changer "Barbie" could be troubled, don't forget that the industry doubted that Margot Robbie film right up to opening weekend. "Barbie" grossed $1.44 billion at the worldwide box office and became the highest-earning release in the history of Warner Bros. Pictures.
He claims that competition from the merged Paramount/Skydance/Warner Bros. corporation is the reason Netflix is making big moves.
"Narnia is a mega woke slop insanity," says the source. "Think Amazon Rings of Power but worse." The $280 million movie is already in serious trouble inside Netflix, where insiders have called it "awful" and "a genuine problem." That report also described friction between Gerwig and Lin over the film, with reshoots ordered after a summer test screening. Now Lin is gone with the movie four months out. The first trailer was hit with 62,000 dislikes and a wave of Marvel comparisons. Narnia hits theaters and IMAX on February 12, 2027, with the Netflix streaming release following on April 2. ... CBN's source says there is a reason it is all happening now.
"Now you know why Netflix was doing everything to stop the merger," says the source. "ParaBros is an existential threat." "ParaBros" is the source's name for Skydance, the merged Paramount and Warner Bros. company that officially closed its deal on October 6. "Did you see they fired Bela and Lin? Heads of series and movies in one week," the source continued, floored that both jobs turned over within days. Our WB insiders add that Lin never got his faith-based projects off the ground at Netflix, which is another reason. The warnings have been on the record for weeks. On October 2, the Paramount source said flat out that "Netflix is in big trouble" and to expect major restructuring and firings. Back on September 2, the source said Disney and Netflix "know what's coming and they're doing EVERYTHING to stop it." And CBN's Narnia report, which flagged Lin and Bajaria as rumored to be on thin ice, ran October 14. Bajaria was out that same evening. Lin followed within days. The firing landed alongside a TheWrap piece Monday arguing Netflix has a quality problem that may be impossible for any film chief to solve. A top talent agent told the outlet that Lin faced the same challenge as his predecessor, Scott Stuber: the Netflix model demands too much volume to consistently put out high-quality movies. CBN's source says that is not just a Netflix problem. "DC Studios, Hulu, Starz, Marvel, and many others face the same problem," says the source. "Glut = Slop." "Will ParaBros stop the madness? We shall see," the source continued. "Ellison wants to invest $$$ in quality but Kreiz is a penny pincher. The honeymoon won't last very long."

Video game studio BioWare announced it would close on Wednesday, marking an end to the organization that released some of the most popular video games in history. Among the top titles from BioWare were Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the Baldur's Gate series, and Mass Effect. "For more than 30 years, BioWare has been more than a studio. It has been a home for storytellers, developers, and players who brought our worlds to life," the statement read. "Now, after more than three decades of shared adventures, BioWare is closing and early development on the next Mass Effect project is ending." Comments on the studio's X post were generally negative, with many users blaming the company's recent release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, a fantasy RPG that attracted negative publicity for its inclusion of transgender and left-wing political themes. The release received mixed reviews on Steam. The prior installment of the series, Dragon Age Inquisition, received mostly positive reviews.I never played Inquisition but Larry O'Connor was obsessed with it.
Yup:
Arthur Kimes
@ComradeArthur
For context, Dragon Age: Veilguard was the one where a character started doing pushups to punish themselves for using the wrong pronouns.
Yes, this was a turn-based fantasy RPG.
🏳️🌈 Gavin
@jammach
Go woke?
Go broke. BioWare has finally ended its slow, torturous suicide, started by the absolute mess of Mass Effect: Andromeda which shoehorned a ridiculous two dimensional girl boss as the lead. It should have been a well rounded, capable, believable female character but it was an insult. They then followed this up with Dragon Age: Veilguard which introduced trans characters complete with customisable mastectomy scars and pronouns. Oh and one of the NPC characters is non binary and you get lectured about it in a 10min cut scene. Veilguard flopped. Rightly so. People want fantasy and escapism. They don't want lectures about how boring, bigoted and heterosexual they are. So, good riddance BioWare.
People are still citing this woke abortion as the moment they realized that "creators" have absolutely no interest in pleasing the actual audience and just want to appeal to woke warrior "critics" at IGN and Screen Junkies.

Fincher was the creative flagship.
And Lin wouldn't give him the budget for reshoots Fincher wanted on The Further MisAdventures of Cliff Booth, giving him enough only for a few days instead of a few weeks. And Fincher refused to renew his contract afterwards.

It is very, very rare if we see a movie on Netflix, Amazon or wherever the remote takes us at night. So rare we comment on the story being good.
The people who choose this garbage are either very stupid, liberal loons, or clueless of what anyone wants in 2026.
In general I hate everyone in Hollywood who dreams this crap up.
Is it because books are stupid now as well?
Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies and discovered watching online decades ago. I loved the entire movie, altho directed by Rob Reiner in one of his sane moments. The book given to him by his father.
The book and screenplay were rejected by many movie moguls til it was given to Reiner (who went loco and, as we all know, is now dead by his more insane son...and that was horrible no matter who Reiner was regarding his Trump blurtings of feces).
The theater opening of the movie did not make much $ due to weird marketing of wth is this? Comedy/romance/fairy tale?
It took being seen in homes to make it a hit and bring royalties. The casting was perfection.
I do wish they would give us cuts of Billy Crystal's ad libbing his parts. It was said Reiner had to leave the set he was laughing so hard.

Late 2024, but they also flopped with Anthem(badly) and Mass Effect Andromeda(more modestly), though it's harder to argue those were due to wokeness.
If they weren't going to be killed by Veilguard, it's probable Mass Effect 5 was going to kill them, having had a prolonged development cycle and apparently not much to show for it.
EA was taken private and had a bunch of debt added to it so there's more pressure to perform.

This is genuinely not that hard to manage.
You create tiers.
The bottom tier is cheap genre slop. You spend 8 weeks, max, making each thing, and pump them out constantly.
The middle tier. 16 weeks. More serious dramas and decently sized action movies and thrillers.
High tier. Elite filmmakers doing their thing. Netflix has the money. Just throw it at David Fincher to make whatever he wants every 2 years.

Translated from Haitian Creole
To the gang leaders and gang members holding our four compatriots hostage in Haiti:
Our kidnapped men are not combatants. They are aviation technicians who are part of our mission in Haiti, within the framework of an international mission. Our mission consists only of pilots and technical personnel, whose primary job is to carry out medical evacuations and save lives, not to wage war.
However, they were kidnapped in a cowardly manner while returning after buying food at a market in the area.
That is why, today, we have launched a military operation to rescue them. We have a single objective: to bring our four compatriots back home alive, without any harm.
However, I want you, the gang leaders, to understand one thing very clearly: today's attack is nothing compared to what is coming if we do not get all four hostages back alive.
And do not take our word for empty threats. We have already finished with the gangs in El Salvador, and we can finish with you too.
We still have time to avoid this.
Return our four compatriots to us alive, without any harm, and everything will go back to how it was bef

Netflix apparently runs at a profit, like the only major streamer to do it.
And part of it is that they constantly have content to discover, and people like their formulaic genre slop.
But, yeah, there's a reason Disney abandoned the "pay extra for a new movie" model with Mulan and went back to theatrical releases after covid. Most of the time, there's just not enough money coming in from streaming to justify the massive costs.
Cheap genre stuff has always been the cash flow grease to the wheels of the film industry. From cheap westerns in the silent period to New Line existing because of Freddy Kreuger.

Three categories:

2. Bad doctor due to DEI scars (also, pronounced with daily medication required to stay lucent)
3. Above average doctor, scars barely visible, but character shows them to every other character anyway.

But overall the streaming idea is a stupid dream as I and others have noted here several times: there's just not the money in it that people somehow deluded themselves into believing would be there.
And yes, they spend hundreds of millions for make these streaming shows and for God's sake how were they supposed to make that money back???

KPop Demon Hunters was surprisingly good. People loved it. The only other one on that list I saw was Red Notice and I turned it off. It was so very bad.

The gender bending Aslan, for instance, is purposefully antagonistic dressed up as “art”. This is a Christian story written by a Christian theologian and there is no mistaking who Aslan represents. Just tell the story, make it eye candy, and stop trying to be controversial just for the sake of controversy.

... sort of. I mean, English is basically Anglo-Norman Creole and we write in that. Some say Armenian is Phrygian-Parthian Creole. Even Persian is vastly simplified and distorted from what Darius chiseled onto that Behistan cliff.
I guess one difference between the English, Armenians, and Persians from Haitians is that we're not Haitians.

The problem is that the money filter has been gone for the last 10-15 years. In the past, people who made bad movies, aka flops, very quickly stopped getting asked to make new ones, sometimes after a single failure. Netflix and their brothers in woke don't care (or at least didn't) if the property makes money.
I think those days are rapidly coming to a close, because as the old saying goes, something that can't go on forever, won't.

It’s what makes HBO Max a better value than Netflix.
It has a selection of new and old shows.
The TCM section usually has some great old movies and some recent ones from the 90s and 2000s.
If I had to buy one streaming service other than Prime I’d pick Max.

1) they pay too much for this stuff.
2) Even the good stuff is released binge style which only works well for content with Many episodes, like 3 years of shows old school where it was 20 shows a season
3) they go freaking years between seasons which is insane and indefensible
4) At best this retains viewers, it does not draw new ones, so there's no additional revenue.

Hollywood did just fine the model of having volume. You just make some low budget, some experimental, some mid budget and only a few high quality and expensive - mostly sure things with proven teams.
A product of that is you could develop and train people who could make a movie that looked good without high cost and appealed to many audiences.
Now they put crap producers and writers with axes to grind against their audience. What movies are successful? Those that don't attack the audience like Barbie or Oppenheimer.

Rome is the granddaddy of the all. Napoleon is a lot more difficult, but less epic. You gotta play it a lot to figure out the sequence of not just things to build or units to create but also the order of cities to attack. Its all about no wasted turns. Which sort of sucked the creativity out of it for me. Rome is very replayable. There are a lot of mods for it, and if you get frustrated easily, a lot of cheats.

***********
We hate it when the wimpy series writers stop after a max of 8 shows til the next season.
Part of going back to school pain when I was young was knowing TV's current shows were back, baybee! At least 20 or more shows for the school year, ending in May.
Now these prima donnas can't be bothered as 6 or 8 exhaust them.
We'll start something then say,nah. Usually due to stupid, now and then mindless gore (altho we are ok with violence after Justified and 24 numbed our brains).
I miss shows like Justified and Longmire. Or anything I can get into. We are watching Marshall and Tulsa King just to watch something. My dude hates Dana Delaney, by the way. I was watching, knew her voice, and her name popped into my memory.
This is beside the point, but she denies plastic surgery except Botox,that she quit after an eye drooping. Bull. She and Jennifer Anniston have had chin implants or something wacky and look more masculine. I will die on this hill.
I'm binging China Beach with Delaney, and there is no way she didn't mess herself up with plastic surgery. In the movie, Tombstone, she still looked normal.

Having gone into a much more indepth study of directors over the years, I want to test a theory on you I have brought up here before: directors go in cycles, and in the past we've had wave come and wave go with short periods (if at all) between the waves. You had the earliest directors, who phased into the mid 20th ceutnry masters, who phased into the 70s masters and... um... that's pretty much it.
Who's our next Spielberg? Who is going to replace guys like Cameron and Ridley Scott? All these guys who have been there putting out stuff all our lives are gone or going. Some should have retired years ago like Scott.
There just does not seem to be a new coming wave of great directors. Villeneuve and Nolan are not making it.

Disney had the same problem. Like five years ago they announced this huge wave of stuff they were gonna put out, and I just looked at it with dismay: it was too much, too fast. It takes time to put out good movies, and there's only so much talent out there that CAN make anything good.
If you require too much output, then even the best, fastest workers cannot keep up and you end up with Bob the Janitor doing coverage for your Star Wars movie. And to make matters worse, they started casting diectors and writers rather than hiring: what do they look like? What are their politics? What is their proclivity in the bedroom? Put them in charge!
Marvel put out like 8 movies and TV shows based solely on the talent having worked on the Rick & Morty show. That they were asian and black and women and homosexual was just icing on top of the cake!
But it turns out that the cake was made of reasty dog crap because they didn't have what it takes to actually make a movie or a TV show.

Problem is in about the 60s the 'minor leagues' of movies was cut off by TV and the lack of cheap local theatres to make B movies and play them. What allows you to slide in a new director is either to have him working with an A list one, or to have some experience doing smaller projects. Once you quit refilling that pool of people, you eventually run out.

Certainly they are making money. I don't like horror much and have not seen Backrooms or Obsession so I can't say how well done they are or how innovative.
It does sort of make me chuckle that first world problems have replaced our horror movies. Unkillable guy with a machete butchering horny teenagers? Bah, we have a house with extra yellow rooms! SCARY kids!

In part. There's base building. There's exploration. There's a story about an alien signal I've barely scratched.
There's upgrading your ship so you can further and faster.
There are space battles.
The openness is what was holding me back from purchase originally, but I've cottoned to it pretty well.

They are playing to them: 9%, roughly, of gheys of all stripes of their stolen rainbow. Less of the bi's and cis and whatever else they've dreamed up this week.
For trans: 1.1%
THIS is their market audience and no wonder they are flops, trying to put black people DEI's as queens of the UK or Europe. Mixing sexes for traditional roles. It is retarded thinking that most people would pay to see this crap.
Then dumbing down even further with very bad writing.
It was the last big writers's strike that sunk them. I don't even remember when that was.
Instead of really, really bad cinema sequels try to be original. This may be too much to ask in 2026. Pathetic.

Slaanesh is supposed to be among other things the god of lust and well this is his/her herald: https://tinyurl.com/u8w9abtv
On the one hand its stupid - the servants of the god of war look like murders, the servants of the god of disease look disgusting, and the servants of the good of magic look like aliens. So presumably the Slaaneshi followers should look more like Morathi (hot half nekkid elf queen)
But on the other hand the chaos gods are BAD. They enjoy screwing with people. So it makes perfect sense that Slaaneshi demons would use illusion to get you to want them and then look like, well, crab armed DIADs when you wake up in the morning, sort of like the danger of beer googles at a Boston area bar.

The site ace linked cosmicbook dot news covered the finale. I never saw the show. The group is ready to go up against a great terror and..........
some guy comes out as gay before the big fight.
This is why conservatives should NEVER watch a show until it's completely over. Star Trek Strange New Worlds which has had some great shows and had younger Kirk, Spock, Uhura, hottie Chapel and Scottie had cool episodes.
Overall, not too bad. But the last 2 season 4 episodes - gay crap just because they would. I won't watch any more new series until they're completed simply because of that reason.

Speaking of movies....
We saw "Whalefall".
I read the book and this is one of the rare cases where the movie is better than the novel, however....
"Whalefall" is not a good movie...it's just oh...okay, I suppose. For the same problem that the book has.
It's loaded with whinging Daddy Issues.
As long as it sticks with the clean aspects of survival adventur, it's fine and enjoyable for about 2/3rds of the movie, but it the final act we go full Daddy Issues and a mystical confusion of the the main characters father talking as the Spirit of the Whale or vice-versa.
This mistake murders any excitement that the climactic escape should engender and turns it boring.
Sad.
Probably worth a "free" watch on streaming.
If you've got nothing better to do.
Or, have big ole Daddy Issues yourself.

Netflix stopped having anything I was interested in watching after they dropped best Top Gear and "Chef and my Fridge".

There is a billion dollar comedy out there with someone just spoofing movie making today with DEI requirements, intimacy coordinators, union requirements, taxes, etc done ZAZ or even Mel Brooks style. There is so much to make fun of there that they will never touch.
THe writer who comes up with a great story based on a property, the casting director who replaces the lead with a fat black woman, the producer's notes to make it for a modern audience, the publicist who insists they have to meet Oscar requirements, it goes on on what you can mock.

But they're in good company there. That's every studio. None of them are any good at anything, so it's not like there's some better alternative in that regard.
My problem is their content library. The only reason for a streaming service to exist is so I can watch something that isn't shit or garbage - namely, things made more than about 20 years ago.
Netflix has - nothing good. If you liked a movie, haven't seen it in awhile, and think "hey, I'd like to watch that," you can count on it not being on Netflix. If they have anything close, it'll be an awful sequel, or low-budget knockoff, or whatever.

Ripley took a job as a longshoreperson in the space-docks because that was who was hiring, and it's not like she ever learned to code.

Minnesota Senate Election Trending Red?
The Cook Political Report has shifted its rating of the Minnesota Senate race toward the Republican candidate, marking one of the only instances of a major Senate race seemingly moving toward the GOP this cycle. Cook moved the contest from "likely" to "lean" Democratic, as polls show Republican nominee Michelle Tafoya closing in on Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, D-Minn.So they still think the bizarre evil Karen is ahead, but only by a smidge. The parties have more accurate polls. And the Democrats have cancelled ads in Minnesota, while the Republicans are buying ad space up. These tea leaves are hard to read. The Democrats may be ending advertising because they think they have this in the bag. But... Flanagan can't get over 50% in a very blue state. She's stuck at 46%, which isn't so great for a virtual incumbent.
That raises the question of why the DSCC stopped investing in Flanagan's race. Do Democrats think Flanagan is out in front enough so that they can shift their funds to other races, perhaps betting on potential pickups in Texas, Maine, or Iowa? Or do they look at Flanagan's inability as a quasi-incumbent to get to 50% in a state that's been safely blue for over 20 years as a flashing red alarm about her prospects, and have decided to stop investing in a loss? Dustin Grage told Larry O'Connor earlier this week, before the NRSC bought ad space for Tafoya, that internal polling showed results that differed from the publicly published surveys, including those tracked by RCP. Of course, we can pose similar questions to the NRSC. What do they see in Minnesota that's prompting them to spend money there rather than, say, Nebraska, Kansas, or Iowa? Ken Paxton's Senate campaign against James Talarico has tons of funding from the Senate Republican caucus already through its Senate Leadership Fund, which put over $30 million into Texas PAC, and Elon Musk (America PAC) and MAGA Inc are spending obscene amounts of money here. Either NRSC sees something in its private polling that suggests Tafoya is close enough for a final push or they want to force Democrats to redirect funds to play defense in Minnesota.
For those of you who say "Poll are for strippers:" Maybe it's worse that that. A "polling" firm called Wedgewood Polling consistently showed outsized leads for Democrat candidates, including in districts where no one else showed any chance for a Democrat win. Charles Schumer directed some ad spending in these no-win races. But Wedgewood turns out to have been a completely fake operation. They're claiming their completely-fake polls were a "social experiment" to expose the lack of rigor in polling and in media poll coverage. But maybe this is a cover story. Maybe it was just a Democrat op to demoralize Republicans all along.
'We're fake!' Wedgewood Polls announced Tuesday night that they're not a real polling agency but a social experiment. A statement issued by the 'pollsters' says it conducted the so-called experiment 'to demonstrate the vulnerabilities, lack of oversight, and overall low barrier to entry in the modern political polling industry.' Major media outlets like the New York Times and MS NOW have cited Wedgewood Polls. If they were fooled, it shows how easy it is to break into the polling industry and be touted as reliable from the get-go.
🚨 "Wedgewood Polls" just announced it was a FAKE POLLSTER and was listed in outlets like the NYT and MSNOW
Their "polls":
🔵 Texas: Talarico+2
🔵 Ohio: Brown+4
🔵 Michigan: El Sayed+6
🔵 Kansas: Hamilton+2
🔵 Maine: Jackson+4 This is INSANE. https://t.co/N3ZAEIxZSn— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 21, 2026

I have prayed for the health and safety of President Turmp, VP Vance, their families and friends, and his administration since the election. "That any plan against them fail."
This is after I pray against evil, corruption, fraud of our enemies, and protection of our country and military. And then conk out asleep.

Everybody outside the cities of Minnesota, and probably 30% in the cities, can’t believe the nuthouse they've seen their state turned into.

By "rarely" do you mean "99% of the time except the final polls"?
If you limit the pollsters to their final polls, yes, they keep things to margin of error.
However, you should never limit them to final polls. And, you should be rigorous with them.
42-40 in a poll where the result is 50-48 is not right. The margin is the same, but each individual statistic is outside the margin of error of the final result, the actual data. They got it wrong.
But, we have this overall pattern of polls "tightening" or "moving right" from summer to fall and into election season. That's not a natural movement. That's pollsters trying to use their believability from their final polls 2 years before to get you to believe outright lies in summer in the next election.
Pollsters, as an industry, deserve as much benefit of the doubt as journalists.

Despite the utility that polling has for propaganda and mind fuckening, the cycle *always* goes to "polling is useless" when the election cycle is done - so they're only riding the wave, not making news.
PLUS the Left doesn't want people to have trust in polling, just like how they treat every other institution. And of course accurate polls would make it far easier to suss out The Cheat after the fact. So they poison the well.

Interesting. I've had emails from Ed this year after our grandson's stuffed Lambie got lost on a flight. Which was, we think, thrown away as Lambie was no longer white afte 8yrs, and found in the window well of the plane and tossed.
Ed alerted his staff in 4 airports after I emailed him. The local PR person at the airport hand delivered a ton of stuff for our sweet boy later that week to help. I had people from JFK and Orlando emailing me photos of stuffed animals for ID. [I know this sounds wacky but it's true]
My dude said Ed was probably an assitant, but it was his phone, and the PR person said it was Ed.
Do I need to email Ed about this? Will look into it tonight after chores to see what he said.
We are Delta People for generations. Granted I flew anything in college that was cheap to return me home and back, but I'd rather walk, dragging my suitcase, then fly Frontier or some other airlines.

The bigger problem is the idea that the pollster's shield of "aggregate of a handful and their final polls" still seems to work with people.
Marist is in almost no aggregates, but because "the polls" were pretty close to "right" 2 years ago, we have to take Marist seriously even though Marist has a long history of sucking.

Collins was always going to win.
She won in the worst GOP environment in recent memory (2020) by 8 points when all the polls said she'd lose by 8.
And then the Platner drama, the Jackson switch, and then the Jackson burp.
And Collins does as leadership demands of her. She always votes for leadership goals when she needs to (Kavanaugh). She's miles better than someone like Murkowski.

I saw the "Warlock" film from the late '80s again recently and there's a scene where the Warlock consults a medium to talk with his master, Satan. The scene starts out with the medium pretending to channel ol' Stan and the Warlock, played well by Julian Sands, sits back and says he'll wait for the real Old Scratch to show up and there's a minute or two more where the medium pretends she's really channeling him...and then there's a abrupt change and Satan really shows up.
Your description of that Saul and Samuel scene brought that to mind.

I thought the right had come to the conclusion that polling was inaccurate nonsense after Brat Summer, especially after Kamala's pollsters admitted after the election that the public polls had been wrong all along and that they had never had a lead ever.
But, nope.

Margin of error is on each individual statistic.
So, a 47-50 poll with a 3.5 MOE means that it could be from 43.5 on the low end for the one point to 53.5 on the high end for the other.
It's borderline useless for precision.

What keeps happening is this:
-- Leftist activists set up a fake polling company
— Issue fake polls to push DSA candidates over Dem and GOP candidates.
— IF (note that word: "If") they get caught, then they issue a pre-written excuse: "We simply set up this fake poling company as a test to see how much the media could be fooled by fake polling companies. Gotcha!"
Uh huh.
— But IF they DON'T get caught (which probably happens all the time), then they never do their big Mea Culpa., and their polls continued to be used right up to the election to demoralize any candidate that opposes the communist agenda.
Even worse, these fake polls are always included in the "polling averages," and since they're left-skewing outliers, they skew the average of ALL polls.
So yeah, we outed two or three of these con artists, who then all falsely claimed to be social scientists performing an experiment. But, that raises the question:
How many HAVEN'T ben outed yet?
Probably dozens of them.
Conclusion: Do not trust polls. Even a little bit.

"An autopsy of the Trump campaign seems singularly pointless. To a first approximation, he has no campaign. The more interesting question is: What happens to the Republican Party in the wake of Trump?"

OH is looking like a wipeout against the Ds. Their metro numbers are trash.
GA is seeing rather steep black turnout declines already. Maybe not enough to undo Ossoff, but he can't like what he's seeing.
TX is just presidential turnout from both parties, and the state is deep red.
GOP is doing well in NV and FL.
NC is the only Dem bright spot (heck, even VA is less pronounced than last year where early voting analysis saw the D's winning pretty early and convincingly), and even that is eroding pretty quickly (quickly enough for Whatley? No one knows, but it seems doubtful). NC will be a 3 point or less race, and both parties will scream that they didn't spend enough on it when it's over.

The Federal Government Identified 20,000 Mail-In Votes In California Likely Cast by Illegal Aliens. California Refuses to Segregate These Ballots to Verify the "Voters'" Eligibility to Vote Before Counting Them.
In addition, California admitted to a federal court they have no mechanism whatsoever to verify that voters are legally eligible and rely exclusively on the voters' say-so that he can cast a legal vote.
The federal government just arrested 28 people living in California for illegally voting while being Maryland Fathers.The Department of Justice on Monday announced a string of arrests related to alleged voter fraud in California. "This causes real damage to real elections and real damage to American citizens," a DOJ official said in a press conference. The DOJ also announced that it was bringing charges against 28 noncitizens illegally registered to vote, including some who did cast votes. "These are not isolated instances," another official said, before confirming that the DOJ was reviewing thousands of alleged illegal voting cases across the country.
Tony Seruga
@TonySeruga Oct 20 🚨 20,000+ POTENTIALLY ILLEGAL VOTER REGISTRATIONS IN CALIFORNIA. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE ANSWERS. Wake the f*ck up! You are being gaslit by the Marxist left. This list isn't assembled from rumors or political speculation. According to the DOJ, federal investigators used immigration databases, identity matching, multiple verification layers, manual USCIS reviews, supervisory oversight, and law-enforcement screening to identify more than 20,000 likely noncitizens on California's voter rolls. And now, 28 foreign nationals have been criminally charged with alleged election-related offenses in California. Every flagged registration deserves proper verification. But here's the question California officials must answer: WHY WOULD ANY STATE RESIST VERIFYING VOTER ELIGIBILITY WHEN FEDERAL AUTHORITIES PRESENT DOCUMENTED CONCERNS? Every unlawful ballot potentially cancels out the legitimate vote of an American citizen. Election integrity is not voter suppression. Protecting eligible voters from wrongful removal is equally essential. Thank you, @USAttyEssayli, for bringing the methodology into public view. VERIFY THE RECORDS. PROTECT LEGAL VOTERS. ENFORCE THE LAW. 🇺🇸
The SCIF
@TheSCIF L.A. officials have confirmed to a federal court that they cannot and have no way to verify a voter's citizenship, besides on what the voter claims their citizenship status is... This should tell you everything you need to know. "The Registrar is not equipped or authorized to verify voter citizenship because it does not independently house citizenship-related information beyond the voter attestation as identified in federal and state law, and is certainly not equipped to do so within the election period."
Massive concession: Los Angeles election officials just told a federal court they have no independent way to verify citizenship beyond what voters attest. (They simply take their word for it.) Under federal law, only citizens may vote in federal elections. Yet California has not acted on the list of 20,000 suspected noncitizens or agreed to set aside their ballots. American citizens’ votes are being diluted in California.

This is the methodology behind our list of 20,000+ likely noncitizen registrants in California: data cleaning, identity matching, removal of citizens and deceased individuals, manual USCIS review, supervisory sign-off, and law-enforcement screening.

Trump is going to lose this one when it eventually goes to SCOTUS. They have already ruled that states are in control of the voting process in their state per the constitution. All we can hope for is that these prosecutions and others will shut down the illegals voting pipeline and I suspect that is the entire point of these prosecutions.

I've seen nothing in my life that dissuades me of that belief, and quite a lot (like this post here) that confirms it.
Without illegals voting, Democraps would not win a single election anywhere in the country, outside of small leftist AWFuL conclaves. This is why the Dems fight to the death to keep any illegals from being thrown out, because every one that leaves is a lost vote.

Not keeping clean voter rolls is in violation of HAVA and has been for decades now.
Trump's DOJ seems to be making preliminary legal moves to prosecuting state officials under HAVA by proving they aren't maintaining voter rolls properly by proving that they're enrolling illegal voters without checks.

Not exactly.
Time, manner and place are left up to the states.
But eligibility to vote is determined by the Constitution.
And the other cases you're probably thinking of were decided on the narrow grounds that the federal government hadn't passed legislation on that issue--but clearly left open "if there was a law, we'd rule otherwise."
Hence, the SAVE Act.

If Federal law limits voting to citizens and the Feds provide a means to verify citizenship to the state, but California makes a deliberate decision to not use the system and allow non-citizens to vote, does liability attach to anyone there?
Posted by: Huck Follywood at October 21, 2026 02:31 PM
That question is going to have to be answered by SCOTUS. Two weeks ago a federal district judge in miami ruled that prohibiting non citizens from voting in federal elections is unconstitutional.
Pretty sure we are being set up and the liberals are hoping this ruling gets appealed and goes all the way to SCOTUS. And after the ruling in the birthright citizenship case it stands a good chance of being upheld allowing all non citizens to vote in federal elections.
The democrats are playing the long game here.

The 20,000 weren't illegals. They were legal visa holders who didn't have the right to register in federal elections. Green card holders, etc.
They're probably on the chopping block to have those visas revoked, though.

>>Time, manner and place are left up to the states.
>>But eligibility to vote is determined by the Constitution.
National Voter Registration Act of 1993. One of the requirements is that states are required to clean their voter rolls to insure only eligible voters are voting. It's not a request, it's the law.
But it has been ignored by many states for years because nobody did anything about it. Harmeet Dhillon got many state voter rolls over the last year and a half but not all states complied and they are being sued. That's why the DOJ warned CA about the 20,000 illegals they knew of. They told Newsom's administration and they ignored him. That's how they knew to arrest those 28 so fast. They were waiting for them.
Somebody(s) in CA is getting indicted.

I've heard that in many instances there are actually people wearing those yellow-high-visibility vests that immerse themselves in the middle of crowds at protests and they are the actual "leaders"--the protestors know to follow their directions about which streets to advance on, what direction to turn when cops show up, etc.
Those vest-wearers should be rounded up when a protest stops being peaceful.

Start towing away all the charter busses that are parked a couple of blocks away. First off, the charter companies will have to rethink who they rent to. Kind of hard to run a bus company if you don't have busses.
Plus, the paid rioters don't have a ride to their staging areas where their personal cars are parked. Make the fuckers walk home.
Or if the local commie cocksucker city government starts complaining about the Feds and jurisdiction, just follow the busses after the riot until they park, then detain them as they exit.

There was a fender bender on the interstate in FL. The driver of the car who hit was Hispanic and released. The van that was hit held a womman and man of same origin. Sweating profusely (well, FL humidity) and shifty eyes.
Deputy asked for ID and she refused, wanted lawyuh, porque. Man gave ID. Both detained as they were being processed. She would not give country of origin, yet had been in the USA 26yrs and no habla English (right). A daughter arrives to help (cop had translater cop on phone).
He explains he's been very patient with this BS (he didn't say BS) and that the two of them were going to be processed somewhere by ICE. More sweating and shifty eyes.
Daughter says Madre is here legally as, "she has work papers." Right!!! Deputy tells her she's being processed (while thinking, "Tough sheet, womman, GET OUT!").

Voting roles are legal documents and should be controlled and public and fixed weeks before an election (no late or same day registration.)
This is necessary to allow the public (mostly through the parties) to canvass and make sure the names on the list are real, the people exist, and the addresses are valid. This is all part of the necessary process and how it used to be done.
The dems have attacked this at every step. This is the magic of the "dominion system," not the voting, but the registration process.
Verification of the rolls should be done by the parties, with local input from local candidates who have a stake in the election. If errors, fraud, etc. are found they go to judge and judge forces state (or usually county or city) to fix it. That has to happen weeks before election. Dems have made it all impossible.

America is a fascist hellhole run by an oligarchical capitalist elite of white supremacists who send out their SS goons to murder brown people for sport.
It's like 1933 Germany, but far, far worse. At least Hitler had a moral code, you know.
This is why more brown people should come to America and no one should flee the nation for their own safety.

It would take 14 Democrat senators to convict.
Plus, retaining all GOP senators (including Mitch, Murkowski, Tillis, Cassidy, Cornyn, and Ernst).
Failed impeachments always, always make the impeached target more powerful politically because it "clears" them of the "charges" (it's a political process, not legal).
So, when people demand impeachment that's doomed to fail, all I see is demands for failure theater that will make the other side stronger politically.

I just have always assumed that fraud was universal, blatant, out in the open, and completely encouraged by the authorities. One often sees shambling homeless bums in the voting line, too. No fixed residence. Shrug.

One pollster said that response rates for rural voters in Iowa was 0.1%.
That's 100,000 contacts to get 100 voters. They'd need at least 400-500 for a decent sample. Not a good one, a decent one.
So, they'd need to call 500,000 numbers in rurals to get a good result.
Think pollsters are doing that?

One thing that would be worth looking into is that allegedly you are supposed to have a basic knowledge of English to become a citizen (with an exemption for a few elderly, long-term green card holders), and yet we have millions of "citizens" who seem to have no knowledge of English whatsoever.
Exactly when and how did USCIS stop enforcing the English-language requirement?

OK, this has 2 possible meanings. Either that they don't have a flag in the database that says "Citizen, yes or no", or that they don't have their own copy of all of the data the feds are using to check on the names.
The first has two answers: "Why not?" or "So, how do you certify that you have validated the registration in all fashions?" (It should involve things like, "Do they actually live at the address provided?" and "Are they really who they claim to be?") Is there ANY auditing that goes con of voter registration? (Or ANY registration with the CA government, anywhere?)
The second is answered with "Ummm, that's why the feds have all of these databases, and even asked you to use them."

PHP is a web development scripting language.
It is what replaced HTML on much of the internet.
Brave AI:
PHP currently stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, a recursive acronym where the first "PHP" refers to the language itself.
Originally, the acronym stood for Personal Home Page (specifically Personal Home Page Tools), as the language was created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1993 to maintain his personal homepage. The name was changed to the current recursive form with the release of PHP 3 in 1998.
PHP is a general-purpose, open-source, server-side scripting language primarily used for web development and creating dynamic web pages.

Well, not necessarily the illegals themselves. I doubt very many (though more now than used to be, given the boldness the Biden admin gave them) actually fill out ballots in their own name or go to the polls. But the names on the rolls give other people the ability to generate bogus votes in those names. So, the illegals are necessary on the rolls, so that the "regular" vote fraud can take place with "real" ballots.

America's Sweetheart Ilhan "Omar" Releases Fundraising Video as the Walls Close All Around Her
Someone on Twitter pointed out that the trees in the background of this typical left-wing woman car video were all full and green, whereas the trees in Minnesota are of course going bare.
So she recorded this video over the summer. But she did release it Tuesday.Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) raised her head to beg for more cash as she vowed to return to the campaign trail and fight the federal investigation into her immigration status. The lefty "Squad" member posted a minute-long video from the back of a car Tuesday night as she continues to lay low since her home was searched as part of the sprawling federal probe. She thanked her supporters for sending donations that she said would help "fight Trump and his administration for trying to intimidate me and so many other people right before the midterm elections." ... "I'll be out there campaigning alongside all of you and making sure that we beat back all of this and that we win in the midterms -- win the House, win the Senate and hold this administration accountable," she continued...I know that many of you are surprised to see this foreign pirate spy grifting for money. "That's not the Ilhan Omar I know," you're probably thinking. But life is strange and sometimes it throws you a real curveball. I suggest you take the advice of some traveling philosophers and just roll with the changes. AG Todd Blanche points out that Ilhan Omar has not been subject to a gag order, despite attacking the DOJ as corrupt. Trump, of course, was hit with gag order after gag order for criticizing the Democrat lawfare corps.
"It is going to be a very expensive and challenging time and so we appreciate whether you're able to send $5, $10, $20," she said, ending with a "Thank you."
Embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is allowed to speak freely about the federal immigration fraud investigation against her -- a privilege President Trump was not afforded during his legal woes, Attorney General Todd Blanche noted on the latest episode of "Pod Force One." Blanche, who served as Trump's personal lawyer when the president faced four criminal indictments during his 2024 campaign, couldn't discuss the details of the ongoing case against Omar but drew a contrast between the Minnesota Democrat's treatment and the various gag orders imposed on Trump. "To the extent that [Omar's] commented on it, one of the things that she said is that we're not going to keep her quiet, right? We're not trying to keep her quiet," Blanche told "Pod Force One" host Miranda Devine. ... Former Special Counsel Jack Smith asked judges to place gag orders on Trump in the election interference and classified documents cases. Smith was successful in the election interference case, but a judge denied the prosecutor's effort to keep Trump from discussing the classified documents case. The president was also subjected to gag orders during his civil fraud and "hush money" trials in Manhattan.Trump refused to comment on the Ilhan "Omar" investigation, stating that ethics required him to be silent about an ongoing criminal matter. Just kidding.
President Trump said on Tuesday that Rep. Ilhan Omar could be jailed for lying about her age and described her home country of Somalia as a real "s--t house." "She's a sick, very dishonest person, who hates our country, and she comes from a country that is essentially not even a country, Somalia," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. "It's a real s--t house." ... Trump also suggested the offense could land her behind bars. "She could go to jail," he said. "They keep talking about deportation." ... "I hope they treat her fairly, but she's a very dishonest person," the president said of the federal probe. Trump went off on Omar and Gov. Tim Walz during the Oval Office event, charging them as "100% guilty" of facilitating widespread benefit fraud in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. "The governor is 100% guilty. He's 100% guilty. He's a fraud. He's a thief. He's a crook, and he's getting away by just getting out of office," Trump said of Walz while announcing a new incentive program meant to reward tipsters who blow the whistle on additional theft. The president then referred to Omar as "that little congresswoman, lovely little woman she is." "She knew, they all knew," Trump went on.
Ilhan Omar finally breaks her silence..
She just posted a TikTok from the back of a car, eyes swollen and red, begging for $5, $10, and $20 donations. This comes days after federal agents searched her home, seized her phone, and obtained her DNA and passport in an immigration fraud investigation. She says it’s an “expensive and challenging time” fighting “Trump intimidation.”— Justin Barclay (@MrJustinBarclay) October 21, 2026

Female, Muslim, Minority, and democrat. The holy grail of intersectionality that they hate the most.
MAGA know the charges are nonsense. The real punishment is the crippling legal costs to defend yourself. If it can happen to a sitting Congresswoman, it can happen to anyone.
She has no support from Dem leadership, it is shameful. Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are cowards unworthy of leadership positions.
I used to say that they were controlled opposition, but it's so beyond that now. They are paid actors and contributors to the hate and bigotry of this nation.
She’s a threat to all of maga and this administration!! Protect this girl at all costs! I want her to stick it to trump when we get the house and take back America
Every single human interaction from anyone in a place of power ends with begging for money in 2026. Obama was outraged right? He can't break off legal fees for her? Gotta try and squeeze the populace? Jfc

They only think this because they're convinced that the Epstein Files (the real ones that are being hidden, not the millions of pages of documents they don't care about) outline, in detail, crimes by Trump with Epstein and that Merrick Garland only didn't prosecute because he's a conservative Republican plant placed there by corporate forces that control the Democrat Party.

Yes to both. They had an affair. The ex is a DC doctor who helped set the husband’s business up and supported him while he grew it. Ilhan was a client, and she claimed he left her right as he was starting to earn real money. She cited the adultery in her divorce filing, which, and I hope you are sitting down, Ilhan denied.

I actually went to 2 Jeb rallies. I went to the second (it was, like 50 people at a golf club) because I didn't get his signature at the first. I also got Lindsay Graham's signature at the second. He was tiny. Almost put him in my pocket.

I get the sense that the Bush's are a spent force in Texas politics except at the margins.
The 2022 AG race was probably the last real attempt they could make at being relevant, and they lost badly (Paxton's troubles with impeachment had just started, and he still whooped P. Bush).
Now? 4 years later with many of their key allies kicked out of the legislature because of the Paxton impeachment attempt which failed? Might as well ask the Rockefellers about politics in New York.

I just received an automated email from the state of California, urgently informing me of an "Ebony Alert" -- a teenage girl was missing.
I said to myself, "I've heard of Amber Alerts, but -- Ebony Alerts? What is that?"
But I immediately had a sense of dread. I feared even Googling it. But I took the plunge, and -- yep - it's as bad as I feared. Worse, even:
"In 2022, California created the "Feather Alert" for missing Indigenous people in 2022,. Then in 2023, California's passed the “Ebony Alert” law -- the first of its kind in the nation to prioritize the search for Black youth gone missing."
Wait -- re you telling me that there is a STATE LAW that gives HIGHER PRIORITY to some ethnic groups over others?
How is this not blatantly unconstitutional?
So, If a group of four girls go missing -- one black, one white, one Asian, and one Native American -- the police are REQUIRED BY LAW to search for the black and Native American girls more than the other two.
And this is the first I've even heard about it.
Mind. Blown. And not in a good way.
I don't care what anyone else says -- California is the most fucked-up state in the union.

Depends on the tribe. Many are quite attractive when young, but the lifestyles on the reservations do not lend themselves to aging well. Overweight, drugs, booze, physical and mental abuse, etc.
The reservations are a blight on the country. Worse than the worst meth-lab trailer park or ghetto.

There's a lot of other information but the bottom line is they want to cause chaos in the country, much as they did in Ukraine, to claim the government is illegitimate and incapable of running the country so they can replace it. Not just Trump, the government as a whole.

FBI Busts Two Teenagers Who Were Plotting a School Shooting
The Would-Be Mass Killers Were... Girls?
Were they actually girls or what the insane establishment now calls "girls"?
Two teenage girls conspired to carry out a school shooting in Riverside County, Corona police revealed late Tuesday. The FBI discovered social media threats from a 15-year-old Corona High School student on Oct. 6 and notified local police, who arrested her. The plot comes days after a teen committed a horrific school shooting at an Oregon elementary school. Police executed search warrants, combed electronic devices, and searched several residences in the area as part of the investigation. Officials discovered another 15-year-old girl from Norco High School was involved and arrested her on Oct. 20, police told The Post. Officials uncovered that the pair had allegedly been plotting how to attack Corona High School. They spent months researching past school shootings to inform their plan. Both had discussed how to obtain weapons to carry out the attack, but officials said they were unsuccessful in obtaining any. No weapons were found. Both girls have been charged with felony conspiracy to commit murder and are in custody. If the teens were charged as adults, it would carry a heavy sentence of 25 years to life. As juveniles, they likely face a lesser sentence if convicted of the charge. FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement that "a potential act of targeted violence against a Southern California high school was disrupted before anyone was harmed." He said the FBI identified online communications discussing a "planned school attack" and the Los Angeles FBI field office moved "immediately," identified those involved, and worked with local police to take the teens into custody, ... The identities of the two 15-year-old girls are unknown. Corona police said they would not release additional details at this time because the offenders are juveniles.Is that the only reason?
... Corona High School enrolls more than 2,000 students in grades 9 through 12. Corona is a Riverside County city about 47 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. The arrest announcement comes after Corona High School held its Homecoming last week.
In early October, online communications about a death threat to a school in Riverside County, CA, came to the attention of law enforcement and led to arrests today. Read more here from the Corona Police Department and the response by FBI Director, Kash Patel. https://t.co/LqTFdv9tvd

Now, this is wrong on a bunch of levels but let's start with the obvious one, mass shootings have no correlation with firearm legality. What they do 100% correlate with is globohomo.
If we go back in time there are legal and legitimately easy to get guns but no school shootings...why? No globohomo.

Not really, assuming the authorities have the evidence they claim. All they have to do is have a semi-coherent plan, and have taken an overt act to fulfill it, more or less. Plenty of spouses go to jail for ineffectually conspiring to murder the other one.

IANAL,....
But there has to be some underlying crime there. It appears all they did was talk and plan. No weapons, no injuries.
They didn't even make threats if all the talk was private.
There is either more to this story, or it is total bs
(and yet, I am confident a decent prosecutor could get a conviction. I wonder if they had ever been to Poughkeepsie.)

2. The "girls" were both 15. That's a little young to be trannies, but it's of course possible.
3. Enough of this bullshit where minors are arrested for very major crimes, but their identities aren't disclosed -- or only vague disclosed -- because they are minors.

On the girls, I'm betting illegals...or weird sexual relationship (girl dating trans guy, girl dating trans girl, gay girl dating trans guy, gay guy dating trans girl), or something equally insane...where parents were making them break up and they couldn't live without each other...

Possibly, probably half the students are illegals. Could be insane lesbians too. The "girls" come from different schools, which adds another wrinkle to the story.

It's not just serial killers. We get a shocking number of people who wind up here because it's the end of the road and there's nowhere further away (well, without a passport, which many of these guys can't get).
For some, their Lower 48 families are paying them to stay away.

The Latin term for clitoris was "landica", and was considered quite obscene, and appeared only a few times in literature. However, it did appear in some graffiti and stuff like that.
One funny was, just as we today have this tradition of putting funny slogans on bombs and warheads, so did the Romans with some of their projectiles of the day. They found with one of those with a phrase that translated as "I seek Flavia's landicum" or however the grammar/case stuff went (which is complicated and I don't know nuttin' 'bout).

The FBI usually give it to them after years of radicalizing them.
I question a police statement this self-serving conveniently close to election time. The riverside criminal justice system has a reputation for tampering with elections. I wouldn't be surprised if the charges get quietly reduced due to weak evidence after the election cycle.
Putting them in prison isn't going to address anything. What they need is support and therapy.
I went to Corona High and was repeatedly bullied and admin did nothing to stop it. i luckily made it out and my parents transferred me. I was incredibly suicidal there. it’s too many kids to manage, makes it become lord of the flies.
it’s the grim reality these kids face. People act like these kids aren’t surrounded by depressed adults all day fear mongering them.

Picking up a topic from the last thread, for the most part things worked out very well on both sides from German POWs in the US and Canada. The prisoners got the same extravagant rations American soldiers got, the camps were kept in excellent order by the officers, the enlisted men were kept productively busy and farmers were delighted with the quality of the labor. Many were happy to invite the POWs to share a meal with the family.
The early POWs were largely Wehrmacht soldiers. It's only later when there were more SS prisoners later in the war that any problems arose.

Today, Brad Lander, rabbis, and other New Yorkers accompanied Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. For that, they were detained by the Israeli government.
Harvesting olives is not illegal. The occupation is.
I am thankful that Brad has been released. But other New Yorkers remain detained, and they must be released immediately.
The same Israeli government detaining them has committed a horrific genocide against Palestinians, killing more than 74,000 people over the last few years alone.
The detention of these New Yorkers must end. The occupation must end. The genocide must end.

From Arutz Sheva:
While the Palestinian issue is highly important to Lander, he failed to get the name of the Palestinian town where he volunteered correct. Nehalim is a Jewish moshav in central Israel, rather than a community in Judea and Samaria. He was most likely referring to Nahalin, an Arab village near Bethlehem, where the incident reportedly occurred. And Israel's administation in Judea and Samaria is not against international law and in accordance with the Oslo Accords.
According to the military, the landowner and dozens of accompanying individuals arrived at the location without arranging the harvest in advance, as required before the start of the olive harvest season.
Due to the security risks associated with an uncoordinated harvest near an Israeli community, IDF soldiers, Border Police personnel, and Judea and Samaria District Police officers were dispatched to the scene and detained those present.

This was not about harvesting olives.
It was about harvesting headlines.
Brad Lander’s latest stunt is nothing more than a calculated political provocation.
Lander traveled to a foreign country, deliberately entered a restricted security area, and participated in an unauthorized activity without the required coordination.
What makes this stunt even more outrageous is that his own team contacted Israeli representatives in the United States ahead of his visit and was explicitly informed that proper coordination with the relevant authorities was required. He chose to ignore those instructions.
At a time of heightened security tensions, Israeli security forces have a responsibility to protect lives, prevent dangerous incidents, and maintain public order.
Had anyone been injured as a result of his reckless political theater, Lander would undoubtedly have been among the first to demand that Israeli authorities intervene and provide protection.
Brad Lander came looking for a confrontation. Now he is pretending to be its victim.

They're a CA in India. So far, people found eight private keys were extraordinarily weak. Like singly byte value weak. Instead of being 384 bit random numbers, they were integers below 256.
This wasn't exposed publicly for 17 months. So during all that time, anyone could forge a trusted cert through them for any domain or code-signing purpose.
Any TLS client with a static CA bundle will be at risk, as well as any frozen hardware device.

Wednesday Morning Rant
... Throughout my career I have always been critical of a museum profession that was awash in whiteness. The lack of diversity, especially in leadership positions, means that museums have not made the commitment to their communities or to their colleagues to be institutions that grapple with our differences. To see culture, history, and the arts as more than sources of beauty, exoticism, and nostalgia, but to use them as tools that help the audiences navigate the challenges of contemporary America. In an article I wrote twenty years ago, "Flies in the Buttermilk: Museums, Diversity, and the Will to Change," I challenged the museum profession to train, promote, and hire people of color as leaders of institutions.That could be from anything. It's boilerplate academic identity politics of the type that used to be comfortably cloistered in the ivory towers of the academy and its various institutional adjuncts. In this case, it was written by a man called Lonnie Bunch for his memoir entitled "A Fool's Errand.". Lonnie Bunch is the outgoing secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, which controls America's network of national museums. He was appointed by the Smithsonian Board of Regents in 2019. At the Smithsonian, he and his underlings continued the core mission of all progressives: destruction. Those under him in control of the individual museums enthusiastically delivered the progressive vision for America's repositories of cultural legacy. They degraded American history, turned the Institution into an activist network, injected its progressive poison into American public schools and reframed everything through identity politics. None of this started with Bunch and it will certainly not end with him, but he was a capable and competent progressive culture warrior who rained destruction down during his watch. For the first time in a long time, however, progressive destruction is receiving a modicum of scrutiny.
One way in which Trump 47 is different from Trump 45 is that the current administration is taking aim at a lot of institutions that usually fly under the RADAR as they decay into progressive morasses while everybody is focused on more important things. In March of this year, Trump issued Executive Order 14253 with the title "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History," in which he ordered that Vice President Vance lead a group to study the Smithsonian's alleged "improper ideology." In July of this year, they delivered the report. From the executive summary:
This report by the Domestic Policy Council demonstrates that NMAH [National Museum of American History] fails in the basic task of illuminating our heritage. Our central finding is not that the Museum has simply added overlooked stories, corrected perceived errors, or broadened its historical scope. Rather, it is that Museum leadership has explicitly adopted an ideological framework that no longer treats the American story as a shared national inheritance to be taught or celebrated, but as a political instrument to divide, dispirit, and discourage our citizens.
As this report shows, the Museum purposely presents America as a problematic country irredeemably conceived, founded by deeply flawed men, and still operating today as an instrument of systemic racism and oppression. In the Museum’s current telling, the country is, above all, defined by white supremacy, slavery, conquest, exclusion, hierarchy, racism, xenophobia, misogyny, and systemic injustice.But of course. This is as it must be. To the progressive academic this is all true and thus the institution must reflect that truth. Progressive academics truly believe that the good is the enemy of the perfect and that anything short of progressive utopia is manifestly evil. Every institution they control will reveal this belief, whatever the institution happens to be. They control the universities, and as a result they control downstream institutions. Go to college to become a librarian or a curator, get radicalized and then destroy the libraries and museums. It proceeds like clockwork, and only grows. It only grows, that is, if nobody bothers to stop it. For a very long time now, nobody bothered to stop it. The report outlines the consequences of inaction, of what happens when progressive rot overtakes an institution. It lays out exhibit after exhibit of the museum's illegal alien activism, displeasure with the English language, progressive public education "assistance" programs, abortion activism, hatred of the country's founding fathers, "land acknowledgment" nonsense, removal of flag ceremonies, twisting of American history and more. The report concludes that
For purposes of policy formulation under EO 14253, this review of the National Museum of American History concludes that NMAH, by the intention and at the direction of current Museum and Smithsonian leadership, has become subject to institutional capture by a radical, activist ideology that is fundamentally opposed to telling the noble, honest story of the great country we know and love.That's putting it mildly. The progressives have eroded the foundations of the institution, just like what has happened at the National Archives and countless other public and private cultural institutions. The report is pretty blunt about what needs to happen first to try to restore the Smithsonian: fire the activist radicals in charge.
The report concludes that the Smithsonian Institution, and the National Museum of American History in particular, under its current leadership and current interpretive ideology, cannot be trusted to tell America’s story honestly and in a way that is inspiring, unifying, and worthy of our great republic.Progressives capture institutions like the Smithsonian and ruin them by leaving no stone unturned and ensuring that all positions are filled with like-minded activists. It must be the same in reverse. To wrest control of the institutions back from the progressives, the progressives must be removed from them, root and branch. Secretary Bunch is retiring before he can be fired, but his departure is an opportunity for the Regents to install someone who can attempt to undo the damage wrought by the total capture of the institution by academic progressives. Whether this will happen remains unknown, but it would be a good start.

You know why? History study is usually a luxury. Successful societies go 'I wonder why we're successful? Let's see what happened.'
This is a focus on merit instead of having a predetermined narrative you want to enforce. The West has had flirtations with pre-determined narrative history (See: Augustus for playing around with history to show how he was the heir to all this great stuff, personally.) But by and large these have been kind of glazing rather than making bad ideas try to work.
This is the core of western thought. What works? Why does it work? What can we do to make this work in other areas? Deductive transferred to inductive reasoning.
This is NOT normal for the rest of humanity.

It's not really destructive in their eyes. It's retarded... trying to make people into what they want them to be.
It is the same as homeownership. Home owners are usually more successful. Answer: lets make it easier to give people homes. Wrong. The habits of people who have homes come first, not homes then habits.
It is the same with history. They believe by making all of these inventions the province of this or that minority that they will then MAKE those minorities pursue fields in science and the race will then become smarter. That is retarded. It does not work this way.
You hand the city of Rome in 200 BC to a bunch of Arabian nomad, they are not going to take those resources and dominate the Mediterranean. Indeed, you see that after the capture of Constantinople. They took the jewel of the old world and what did they do with it? Did they develop enduring societies? Scientific breakthroughs? Nope.

The head of the Smithsonian Institution is the Secretary, not a single "director" (though individual museums within the Smithsonian have their own directors). The Secretary is a high-level public servant appointed by the Smithsonian's Board of Regents rather than a traditional political appointee or direct federal employee

I think I would make a real library/museum. Both old and new media. Lots of land so that it could be added on to over the years (long after I am gone.) A hall of statues where different artists were commissioned to make the most beautiful statue they can think of. Painting, sculpture, books. The soul of man.

IIRC, the architect was Albanian...
Yes he was, although he was likely also a Muslim.
The architect of the Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmed Mosque) in Istanbul, Turkey, was Sedefkâr Mehmed Ağa.
(https://smarthistory.org/artist/sedefkar-mehmet-aga/)
Key Details
• Master: He was a gifted pupil of the legendary Ottoman imperial architect Mimar Sinan.
• Background: He originally trained in music and mother-of-pearl inlay (sedefkâr) before transitioning to architecture, eventually becoming the royal court architect in 1606.
• The Masterpiece: Commissioned by Sultan Ahmed I, the mosque was constructed between 1609 and 1617, blending classical Ottoman design principles with Byzantine influences from the adjacent Hagia Sophia.

A little inflation data point I just stumbled onto making arrangements for my mother's burial and all that. I knew it had been a long time, but my parents paid for their burial plots back in 1983, setting up the whole thing. The cost was a little over $400 per plot, and with everything else, it was just under $1000 total.
Multiply that by 10 for what the same basic plots and vaults would cost now. And, with all the "extras" that would were included then, but not now, you might as well say 12 times, if not more.

The racist, Italian driver schools the effete, black pianist about what it means to be really black because the pianist doesn't know dominant forms of black music in America, instead trending towards classical music.
And no one screamed at the movie for being racist, having a scene where a white man teaches the black man how to be authentically black.
It won Best Picture instead.

After one of the particularly egregious, lawless SCOTUS rulings (Obergefell?) he wrote: "the liberal justices don't judge, they vote". (might have one or two words wrong)
Side mini-rant: the use of the phrase "liberal justice" is ridiculously off the mark. Just as with all of the politicos and causes also called "liberal", it's an utterly meaningless or even inverted use of the term. Authoritarian, totalitarian - that's the base orientation of people and institutions called "liberal".
The other, comically meaningless, term used for lawless courts is "activist". WTF? Really never made any sense. They're lawless. They vote, they don't judge. They violate the substantive and procedural rules of their own institutions to usurp power. "Activist" is for 83-yr old clueless NPR listeners holding a "No Kings!" sign. Call these judges what they are - lawless autocrats ignoring their oaths and the constitution and usurping power and damaging the country's culture, economy, society, and national security.

A striking example of the amazing Axis POW experience was an Italian POW who ended up staying and becoming a key figure in a prominent winery company in CA. He was sent to work as an ag worker at the winery during his POW time (the predominant labor use of POWs).
Speaking of national history being distorted, hidden, or erased - has the Smithsonian ever done an exhibit on the Axis POW experience in the US? An excellent, concentrated lesson in American exceptionalism that would surprise most today. Guess that would horrify and confuse the idiots Joe Mannix describes in his essay.

There was a serious issue with non-European countries adopting firearms, as outside of Europe armies were made of warriors, or the equivalent of knights, and adoption of firearms destroyed the old arrangements of production of weapons, allocation of economic production and power among the noble warrior types.
One outlier was the Turks who had effective cavalry and opponents who had walled fortresses the cavalry could not take. Adopting cannon was obligatory to take the fortresses and walled cities.

Reminds me of the interesting case of the U-505, the U-boat captured June 4, 1944 (note the date) off West Africa. It's the one on display in Chicago today (another amazing story).
It was of course important that the Germans not know we'd captured a U-boat intact. Not just in the immediate aftermath of the capture (the decision to scuttle or tow back to the US went all the way up to Adm. King, CNO - there was fear that German knowledge of the capture would push the Germans to change code settings on the eve of D-Day). But for some time after.
Therefore the US decided to, uh, sorta wink at the Geneva Convention rules we otherwise scrupulously followed, and didn't inform the ICRC that we had the crew. The crew was put in a special POW camp for the duration. Obviously no mail home, etc. Otherwise, the same semi-luxurious lifestyle (for the time) enjoyed by other German/Axis POWs.

I have a German POW story here. A German immigrant moved right in the local area after his retirement from Daniel (big construction outfit) back in the '80s. He was a POW, crewman on a U-boat, captured after his boat was sunk in the Atlantic.
He went to a POW camp somewhere in Georgia, and worked on some of the local farms. He was repatriated after the war, and immediately went to work on getting back here. I mean immediately. He didn't want to leave.

The Education School in any University has the lowest SATs and the highest GPAs.
An undergraduate Education degree is 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th grades, with "social promotion".
Graduate degrees in Education are Participation Trophys.
The NEA, despite its high sounding name is a Union, the same as.the AFT. The retail Clerks union works to benefit its members, not customers. Why would you expect teachers unions to be any different?

Harald Sohlberg
It's very nice with distinct colors that don't melt into each other. I'm not familiar with this artist but I'd certainly consider hanging today's art selection. (I also admit I didn't read the entire title at first glance and took the painting for a fall landscape vs. spring.)
---
Elephant Art, 27 Apr 2019
Harald Sohlberg, Spring Evening, Akershus Fortress, 1913
Countryside, calm waters and a never-ending sunset, could you ask for anything more on a spring evening? Harald Sohlberg’s incredible depiction of a sunset melting into the mountains is perfection. The famous Norwegian artist was obsessed with painting the landscape of his home country, paying particular mind to the spiritual significance of the mountains and the stunning colours that flooded the sky depending on the season.
Although Solhberg actively denied any affiliation to Nordic Naturalism or the Symbolists, these influences are evident in his fantastical portrayal of the world around him, where carefully articulated shadowy trees often foreground the world beyond.
Thanks.

Crisis was at 10 last night; It took Mayor Unpronounceable until 8 AM to get the "shelter in place" order out to that quarter of the city. Nobody went door to door, and the suspiciously named health director advised people with itchy eyes to "just take a shower for now," always good advice.

The Morning Report — 10/21 /26
A Minnesota rapper who traveled to France to join escalating riots has urged white people to “raise hell” and “f–k s–t up” as part of a revolution on American soil, The Post discovered. And communist-linked groups in the US may be working to bring that hell to the nation’s capital. Artist Tufawon, whose real name is Rafael Gonzalez Jr., joined Swedish activist Greta Thunberg outside Paul Éluard, the high school at the heart of the leftist protests marred by violence, looting and arson. He addressed balaclava-clad protesters before performing his song “No One Is Illegal,” and riling up the crowd with chants of “f–k ICE” and “ICE out.” “All power to the people,” the 40-year-old from Minneapolis boasted to his fans on Facebook. “After returning home from France I can clearly see how we need to become far more radicalized in the states. “We have to be more enraged. Our comfort is hindering our progress. It really and truly needs to be white people that go outside and raise hell if we want to see revolution. “There are far too many neoliberals that are just as bad as the fascists. The French have figured this out a while ago. Now it’s time to take it to the next level. Go f–k s–t up white people. It’s your time.” “They said they were going to globalize the intifada and now they have,” foreign policy expert at the Heritage Foundation Mike Gonzalez told The Post. “What you are seeing here is the red-green alliance, the marriage of convenience between leftists and Marxists. They have a common enemy which is the Judeo-Christian democratic West. They want to dismantle it.” Tufawon, who is part Native American and has appeared on the popular radio show The Breakfast Club, claimed that the perceived underfunding of schools and declining public services in France is similar in the US. “I’m incredibly inspired by what’s going on with the student activists and organizers,” the rapper said. “The most marginalized students, the brown and the black students are the ones that are feeling the implications the worst.” Tufawon urged fellow protesters in the US to “take influence from the French” so that they can defeat the “same common enemy”. “It is dangerous rhetoric,” Gonzalez told The Post. “If people listen to him and act upon what he is recommending it is very dangerous.” Tufawon told The Post his trip to Saint-Denis was unplanned and “very spontaneous”. He said he was in Paris on vacation and left before last weekend’s violent protests. He added that his Facebook posts “fall under figurative speech and in no way, shape or form did I use them with the intent to incite violence of any kind.”Wait, what?! This sick bastard is traveling to France to revel in and or participate in bloody volence while calling on the same thing or practicing to engage in it here at home yet insists his posts “fall under figurative speech and in no way, shape or form did I use them with the intent to incite violence of any kind.” What a cowardly piece of shit! He'll prepare the Molotov cocktails but better he should get some little dweeb half his age to actually light and toss them. Naturally this part of the story won't change his tiny mind...
Meanwhile, CCP-linked nonprofit Code Pink, backed by Neville Singham, has wasted no time using the unrest in France to plan similar protests in America, with a “taxpayer uprising” planned in Washington, DC, between November 10 and 12. The feminist anti-American group has called on protestors to flood the halls of Congress in what it calls “three days of peaceful resistance.” But its leader Jodie Evans, 72, a radical Hollywood filmmaker and wife of Shanghai-based tech millionaire Singham, called on “people to look at France” as she urged Americans to take to the streets.I'm eagerly anticipating the two-for-one of Leftists and Muslims killing each other off once God-Forbid when the embers of the final battle for America die out. This is who and what we are facing. And on top of it we have an entire Political party in the Democrats who have historically relied on both violence — including a civil war to attempt to obtain and maintain absolute power or short of that, rip America apart to create their own state to achieve the same. And now they have so thoroughly corrupted and infiltrated what we thought were inviolable firewalls protecting our rights an liberties, primarily the judicial system and our intelligence services that violence of the kind we are witnessing in France is almost, ALMOST, unnecessary. Of course, if they cannot steal another election or two, or God-forbid muster a legitimate majority of legal voters who back their perverted goals, then all bets will be well and truly off.
Former Democratic Congressional candidate Elijah Manley was arrested on Friday for allegedly posting death threats on Facebook against his colleagues who do not support far-left Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon. Manley, 27, was charged with two counts of making written or electronic threats to kill or injure, both felonies. According to CBS News Miami:One post said: “Every Democrat needs to get behind the Democratic nominee for Senate [Angie Nixon]. Anybody not doing that, I promise you I’m going to cut your [expletive] head off.”Didn't Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton once threaten to cut then-candidate Obama's nuts off? Meh... And this shit won't go away.
You don’t have to twist Slotkin’s words. Taken at face value, her proposal would give carte blanche to investigate and prosecute pretty much anybody who has done pretty much anything for the Trump administration since January 20, 2025, so long as it’s deemed to be “corrupt”—and corruption, like beauty, is very much in the eye of the beholder. Slotkin has good reason to hate Trump. Last year, she was investigated by the DOJ for sedition. She appeared in a video with five other Democrat lawmakers with military or intelligence experience—Slotkin worked for the CIA—and advised soldiers, sailors, and airmen that they “must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.” Trump had deployed the National Guard to cities including Washington, D.C., and U.S. Southern Command was blowing narco-boats to kingdom come in the Caribbean and posting highlight reels on X. . . And maybe too we should remind ourselves of what was done to Douglass Mackey, the man behind the popular “Ricky Vaughn” Twitter account that posted memes during the 2016 election. Mackey was prosecuted under a Reconstruction-era anti-Klan statute for voter suppression for posting a meme he didn’t even make. For the crime of mocking Hillary Clinton and helping Trump to win, Mackey’s enemies in the Democrat Party waited five years, and then within days of Biden’s inauguration, federal agents were kicking down the door. Retribution was a long time coming, but come it did. That’s exactly what Elissa Slotkin is promising again. The unfinished work of ensuring there will never be another Donald Trump will be a total effort, touching every level of American society, from government to corporations, from MAGA-hat vendors to dudes who post memes on X. Bank on that.It really is us or them. But why am I overreacting, right? It's all just blather. Until you find yourself in a gulag or a cattle car on the way to one. have a good day.

President Trump: France is “being conquered, looted, and burned to the ground by migrants, jihadists, and Communists who hate Christianity and Western Civilization.”
The only consolation will be to watch the Communists who hate Christianity and Western Civilization get slaughtered by the jihadists who hate Christianity and Western Civilization.

American went to vote in Illinois, she says when selecting the conservative candidate the screen displays a message that says “people are not typically choosing this person, exclamation mark”
“I picked the Republican judges and once I selected one of the judges, I got a notification on the bar that said, people are not typically choosing this person, exclamation mark. — So why is my ballot telling me that who I'm picking isn't the more popular choice? I have a problem with that”

That might work for a preëxisting plant run by Anatoly Dyatlov, until any portion of the grid failed, or it was time to refuel.
One of the Wonders of the Modern World is "The Grid". It is profoundly complex. How do you source transformers? Go over, point by point the fueling of thermals. From identifying where to extract the hydrocarbons to the design, manufacture, delivery, operation and maintenance of every piece of equipment, with all of the associated permitting, labor, taxes, insurance, investment, regulatory compliance, orchestration, reliability and contingency plans between the undeveloped source and the finished power plant. Any failure that stops the plant and requires a reboot without capacity matching and redundancy may require a cold-boot of the grid.

Elections are a moment in time. They reset the chessboard. Sometimes in our favor, sometimes not.
But the fight against evil is eternal. Sometimes we get to fight from the top of the hill, sometimes we fight going up the hill. But we never get to stop fighting. Because evil never goes away. The moment we forget that is when we lose.

Assume there was a Leftist Rapture, where the Leftists all vanished away to Leftist Heaven, and the rest of us were left behind.
The consequences for us would be dire. The federal government would simply be gone, and the people remaining would be both unable and unwilling to stand most of it back up - and a lot of them would suffer for that.
Most corporate boardrooms would be empty, along with all lower ranks down to middle management. A large portion of the consumers they served would also be gone, and the rest would have more pressing needs than Uber and Netflix - IOW, a nearly complete economic collapse.
And so on, in most institutions. It would be nightmarish.
But now, picture a Right wing Rapture. Their urban citadels would be charnel houses inside of *months,* not years. They are incapable of survival without their hated underclass providing them with food, electrical power, clean water, and so forth. They are completely incapable of obtaining their quotidian necessities.

I've been giving this sophistry too much thought. In one sense self identifying as "CSA" is this generation's "Harvard" / "Crossfit" or "Vegan" salutation, as in "Hi, I'm a survivor of CSA". The brilliance of this is that it is a test of YOUR character to see if you grovel and give the "victim" deference in all things or say "whatever". So they demand Main Character Syndrome.
OTOH, we have been told by Psycho-The-Rapist that its OK to be a Cluster-B sociopath if you have been molested or otherwise didn't have the most optimal upbringing as a child. In fact, you should be one because of Reasons.
So here we have a pathological fabulist, with clear psychological disorders, a vacant soul, and no morals who wants to Lord over the people of Ohio. And its supposed to be OK because of a completely unverifiable claim of CSA.

he also had to be able to rule his own household, have children who are under control and respectful and demonstrate leadership at home.

- You can't answer that, so fine, name one muslim country that you would live in, that respects human rights? -silence- more dodges
They know they are not equal, and when they are asked to apply their general "all equal" BS to specific examples, such as "is Somalia equal to the US" the choice is pretend that it is, knowing they look foolish, or more likely, refuse to answer.

Fear doesn't help anything. It only hurts everyone around you. If we lose then we lose and we can pick up the pieces and carry on. But giving up before the game even starts is pathetic.
We are never going to stop fighting these bastards and one election isn't going to change it. God didn't put us here to be pussies. Go fight and win.

She's still a thing? Did she ever hit puberty?

She's the weirdo daughter of a 2nd generation movie director and a celebrity singer (rich and connected). She is riddled with personal issues (OCD, depression, eating disorder, etc.) and her mother discovered that Greta was best when she became an activist, so that her personal issues became caused by the outside world - climate change.
Greta will always be an activist, because it is the only working outlet for all her personal issues, with the benefit of it giving her parents a break.
She switched to being a Pali activist after oct 7th.

I've been fixated on Turnout and I expect it will break our way strongly in most places.
Even honest polls miss shifts in Turnout, as they rely on historic patterns. e.g., they failed in 2016 to see how Trump got the white working class to turnout. This is especially true for mid-terms which typically get less turnout.

Having her own mother call her a liar who needs help, even if they're 50 years estranged, is good to motivate sideline Rs to keep her out of office. Even if they don't like Vivek.
And this controversy is reminding a lot of OH voters how she behaved during Covid--a petty, bitch tyrant who didn't care about who she hurt.

Independent Australian MP Helen Haines was intentionally struck by a car in Wangaratta on October 19, 2026. Both of her legs had to be amputated as a result of the incident.
Police arrested 43-year-doer Brendan Nugent at the scene. Authorities attribute the attack to rising political polarization, grievance-based behavior, and the suspect's unmedicated neurological condition rather than any specific controversy surrounding Haines.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese repeatedly called for the "temperature to be turned down" (or the "heat" to be turned down) regarding Australia's political discourse.
He stated that all public figures and citizens have a responsibility to disagree respectfully rather than resorting to vitriol. Albanese emphasized that he does not want Australia to change or move toward a more polarized, aggressive political landscape similar to the political environments seen in some other countries, warning that escalating hostility threatens the safe and open nature of Australian public life.

Guy came home shitfaced, went in the wrong building, banged on the wrong door, and thought his roommates weren't letting him in because they were being dicks.
I think (but can't remember with certainty) that he eventually got so pissed that he kicked in the door and recieved a shotgun blast to the face for his trouble.

Daily Tech News 21 December 2026
Top Story
- Indian certificate authority eMudhra - one of the companies authorised to issue the SSL certificates the entire internet depends on - has been thoroughly compromised. (The Register)
And when I say "compromised" I mean in the sense of caught with its pants down performing a dance to honour the Hindu goddess Kali in the middle of the busiest intersection in central Bangalore during Diwali.
And why I mean that is someone figured out one of the keys they use to sign certificates.
The key was 4.
Tech News
- Japan, a real country albeit one with strange sandwiches, just launched a catch-and-release expedition to the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos. (Space)
The plan is to return a sample of at least ten grams of Phobosian soil to Earth. The whole moon if they can capture it in the craft's Pokeball, but at least ten grams.
- AMD's much improved FSR 4.1 upscaling has now been backported to everything. (Tom's Hardware)
Well, not this laptop, which is two generations too old for that, but dedicated Radeon 6000 family cards, the Xbox, handhelds using the Z2 chips, and Ryzen Max and Ryzen 9 mini-PCs.
Also not officially to the Ryzen 7 mini-PCs, though they will likely work with a bit of hacking; they just might not benefit much from it.
- How to convert $1000 worth of laptop RAM to $1000 worth of desktop RAM. (Tom's Hardware)
Like porcupines making love.
- A Canadian expert in ransomware negotiations who recently wrote a book recommending you should always talk to the people holding you to ransom was allegedly in cahoots with the ransomers. (Krebs on Security)
And is now in FBI custody.
- Sony has updated its classic Walkman music player. (The Register)
The top model costs $5900 and offers 256GB of storage. But that's a luxury item with a price to match; the entry level model with 64GB of storage - still quite a lot for MP3 files - is only $1900.
Wait.

Other researchers have found private keys including the numbers 66, 155, 156, 230 and 237.
Those are vastly inadequate keys, because they’re easy to guess, making all certs issued by eMudhra susceptible to brute force attacks.
As Helme put it: “A P-384 private key should be a random 384-bit number, which gives you 2³⁸⁴ possibilities (or roughly 10¹¹⁵
, so nobody is ever going to search that.”

On a really basic level:
Ever play around with newspaper cryptograms (like the letter 'a' becomes 'q', and the letter 'b' becomes 'k') and so on?
Same idea, except way harder to break than the newspaper ones (well, unless you use '4' as the key).
This keeps your neighbor on the same network from reading the data that flows between you and Amazon (or whatever).
Internet encryption is a special type called "public key" encryption. This uses some special mathematical magic that allows you make to the encryption key public without disclosing the decryption key. Newspaper cryptograms don't have that feature ... if you know that 'a' becomes 'q' when encrypted, you immediately know that 'q' will become 'a' when decrypted.
This has a big advantage. The remote site (say, Amazon) can encrypt special "I am Amazon" messages using the secret key, which anyone on the internet can then decrypt using the public key to verify that this is, in fact, the real Amazon.
Obviously this only works if the secret key remains secret.

These key pairs are generated by so-called "certificate authorities" ("CAs"), such as this eMudhra outfit. Your browser has a list of CAs that it trusts, and will assume that any certificate signed by that CA is valid (the CA is supposed to take care of ensuring it's the real Amazon before issuing the certificate).
If the CA is compromised Bad Guys can generate fake keys (and thus, fake sites) that pretend to be Amazon, or your bank, or even AoSHQ and any browser that trusts that CA will take it as gospel.
If Amazon is run by idiots who leak their keys, Amazon is compromised. If a CA is run by idiots who leak their keys, *every company that uses that CA* and *every browser that trusts that CA* is compromised.
This is obviously Very Bad.

“A fellow told me one about Wembley yesterday," I said, to help on the cheery flow of conversation. "Stop me if you've heard it before. Chap goes up to deaf chap outside the exhibition and says, "Is this Wembley?" "Hey?" says deaf chap. "Is this Wembley?" says chap. "Hey?" says deaf chap. "Is this Wembley?" says chap. "No, Thursday," says deaf chap. Ha, ha, I mean, what?"
The merry laughter froze on my lips. Sir Roderick sort of just waggled an eyebrow in my direction and I saw that it was back to the basket for Bertram. I never met a man who had such a knack of making a fellow feel like a waste-product.

Daniel Boone's famous rifle, known as "Tick-Licker" (not a musket), was a Pennsylvania Long Rifle (also known as a Kentucky Long Rifle), not a smoothbore musket. Contrary to some myths suggesting a tiny .29 caliber, historical accounts and his grandson Nathan Boone indicate the rifle was a heavy, large-bore weapon, likely .44 to .66 caliber, designed to fire a one-ounce ball.
The nickname "Tick-Licker" referred to Boone's exceptional marksmanship, claiming he could shoot a tick off an animal without harming the beast. The firearm was crafted by his brother Squire Boone, a skilled gunsmith, and featured a long rifled barrel (over 5 feet in length) and a curly maple stock. While often associated with the Kentucky frontier where Boone gained fame, the design originated with German gunmakers in Pennsylvania.
No wonder.
I've been hearing it wrong this entire time.
Maybe hearing what I wanted to hear, or Fess Parker made it sound like Tit instead of Tick.

Some people might count Daniel Boone as a "Western," because there are guns and Indians in it, and it's set on a frontier. It's not; it's a historical drama. "The West" as we think of it in novels and movies was much farther west, past the Miss. River or up along the northern Missouri. True, in DB's time his area was thought of as "the West" as in "west of the original thirteen colonies," but still.

This seems like a clever idea to me.
A married couple in San Diego wanted to get dressed up and go to a wedding. Problem was, they’d reached the age where nobody they knew was getting married anymore. So they built a website where you can buy tickets to strangers’ weddings. And the economics actually make sense. The couple getting married has already committed to a venue minimum. Someone cancels. Now there’s an empty chair and a dinner they’re paying for either way. Meanwhile, another couple would happily pay to eat, dance, have some cake and watch a best man make a series of increasingly questionable decisions with a microphone. *** Apparently one bride said the paying strangers brought so much energy to the dance floor that she wished she’d invited more. Of course they did. Those people specifically bought tickets to be there. Half your actual guests are attending under a treaty negotiated between their mothers. *** This guy just wanted to take his wife dancing and accidentally identified a liquidity problem in the wedding market.Check out the whole thing. What do you think - good idea or nah?

The Brewers made it to the World Series. Fans who bought a "Timeless Ticket" a decade ago want to cash in. Trouble abounds! Brewers promised a ticket to any future game for $1,000. Some fans unhappy with World Series seats
The Milwaukee Brewers ran a promotion over a decade ago offering fans a “Timeless Ticket” granting them admission to any game in the future if they paid $1,000. Now that the Brewers are in the World Series for the first time since 1982, fans who took that deal are eager to redeem those tickets they bought in 2015. That has led to some complications. Brewers president of business operations Rick Schlesinger said Tuesday that several hundred fans had indicated they wanted to redeem their Timeless Tickets for a World Series game. Schlesinger acknowledged that “we subsequently erred in our internal communications on the logistics of fulfilling the requests.” “While we were able to accommodate all with seats, we received feedback from some that they were unhappy with their seat locations,” Schlesinger said. “Clearly, even with extraordinary limitations on available seats, we did not live up to the spirit of the program, and we have been working through a resolution.” *** The Brewers are trying to make amends. Schlesinger said any Timeless Ticket holder who applied for World Series tickets before the deadline will now get to keep those World Series tickets while also being able to retain their Timeless Ticket to redeem for another game in any future season. “We regret our mistake and look forward to welcoming them to American Family Field for their World Series experience,” Schlesinger said.*** I imagine 2026 World Series tickets in Milwaukee cost a lot more than these did in 1982

Old school car stereo equipment was awesome. Pioneer is bringing it back! Old-School Box Speakers Are Back—and Pioneer’s New ‘Cassette Deck’ Car Stereo Is Finally Coming to America
Pioneer is aptly calling this equipment its Heritage Collection. Here’s the logline: “The new collection pairs a head unit and speakers to bring its iconic sound to the cabin of vintage cars that defined a generation in the ’80s and ’90s. The collection reimagines the styling that marked those eras for modern-day drivers, including conveniences like Bluetooth, HD Radio, and SiriusXM readiness, while delivering the rich, detailed sound that has established Pioneer as a favorite among car audio enthusiasts.”Photos at the link

I think it's great. I love weddings, even if I don't know the people very well (e.g. children of former workmates), and would be happy to attend more. As long as the price is reasonable, I'd be happy to drink wine, eat cake and cheer at ever lull in the conversation.
They sure as shit beat funerals, which are becoming one of my primary social outlets at this stage of my life.

Several tags with recruiters today, hopefully some of it comes to fruition. My first day subbing tomorrow, I have my lunch packed, it's time to shower and get ready for bed.
Took a look at the underside of the stovetop. Thursday I might open it up and look at the actual burner, see if I can see an easy fix or what. If necessary, it looks like I can get a replacement burner on Amazon for 40 bucks-ish...

What do you think - good idea or nah?
An idea of Biblical proportions!
The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.
[...]
Then he said to his servants, "The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come. Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find."
The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests.

Compare one of the requirements for receiving a doctorate at the medieval University of Paris (I think... one of the ancient universities) -- you had to give a course of lectures on your subject. That seems like a fairly reasonable requirement. However, you needed a quorum of attendees in order for it to count. Some doctoral candidates offered free booze and food, while others just sent their buddies out in the street to threaten to beat the shit out of anyone who didn't come listen to the lecture.

Go to stranger's weddings? Confession: In my misspent youth, I (with buddies) occasionally crashed wedding receptions where I knew neither bride nor groom. Why? Simple, free booze. We never caused any problems other than consuming liquor that may have run out 10 minutes earlier than otherwise. Stuck around no more than an hour, schmoozed a bit, and quietly slipped away, a couple of drinks ahead for the evening.

For your funeral, set aside some money to hire an actress and a limo. A beautiful woman, all dressed in black, gets out of the limo and stands, motionless, some distance away from the graveside. Everyone sees her- but she speaks to no one.
As the casket is lowered into the grave, she returns to the limo and is gone.

Before most of you were born I fell in love with Lynyrd Skynyrd. Sadly I never went to a concert to see them as they were either in MS and I was out West in college or vice versa. One of my favorite bands to this day.
Their plane crashed 100mi south of Jackson, MS. Were taken to trauma hospitals in the city. My mother was a volunteer in one hospital, and met some of the survivors and families and said they were lovely people. I am positive she'd never heard of the band before this happened.
I love nearly every song they sang.
And, dang it, I wish they'd bought a new plane. Aerosmith rejected it.
That Smell was written in anger at bandmate Rossington's car crash into an oak tree, drunk and high on 'ludes.
It was said Ronnie wrote lyrics very fast and add to a guitar riff. He composed and memorized lyrics and remembered them for certain songs as his band practiced. Very tight and talented band who practiced and worked hard to perfect their sound.
Headlining Rolling Stone in the UK, Ronnie ticked Mick off by bringing his guitarists onto The Tongue. Ha!
One of my favorites:

See, this is where I think there's a better market. Weddings, for the most part are a happy occasion where the bride and groom usually are well liked. That tends to pack them in.
FUNERALS, on the other hand, are usually held on a weekday so it's going to cost you a PTO day to say "adios" to a person who may very well have been a complete ass. And, to be frank, a funeral is a score card. Lots of attendees...well, you must have been an alright guy, and no one saw your browser history.
If you only draw a couple stragglers, chances are you didn't win any congeniality awards while alive. And, it's a direct reflection on you.
That's where the niche market lies. Inflating the numbers to slip that last deceitful scam on the masses. Oh, he must hove been a good guy. Look at all the people....I wonder why they are all over 85 and have an escort with Happy Acres Retirement printed on his shirt?

I have been buying those cheap-ass "Dual" (orphan brand from Chy-nah) head units from WalMart at about 29 dollars a pop. They have a decent tuner, 4 channels claiming 25 watts per channel, and can sync up with your phone via Bluetooth. Also have a USB port, so you can bung in a thumb drive loaded with music of your own choice. I have had two of them die mysteriously, but at 29 dollars, it's not worth the effort to either buy or try to collect on the warranty. Throw it away, and plug in another. Similar, if not identical, devices can be found under several "brand" names on the 'Zon, too.

As we have a large group of very elderly parishioners it is not unusual to have 2 -3 funerals a month. One month recently we had seven. We always have a lunch after - I'm in charge of the kitchen. I'm here to tell you that there is a core of 25-35 old ladies that come to the lunch whether or not they knew or even cared for, the deceased.

The funeral of a great-uncle I would have liked to attended: He was a train conductor and apparently had a girl at every stop. Three girls with engagement rings met over his coffin. I'm sure there was a brief respite of grief at that time.
Handsome man as I've seen a photo and that of his father. They gave me my eyes (gr. Granddaddy was a bigamist my mother found later on Ancestry...when Daddy thought his grandmother was a widow vs kicking his sorry self out). Got a new family in LA.
Gr. Grandmother Maggie found a note from a woman in his suit pocket and threw all of his clothing and stuff onto the front lawn for everyone to see, and left him with her kids. She died a few years before I arrived and am proud of her.

What the hell good is a door that looks like a cassette slot? Oh look, there are USB ports behind there. Can I plug a separate CD player in one and a cassette deck in another? No? Then what the boffing hell are these USB ports going to do for me that the other half dozen unused USB ports in my car aren't?

Bing Crosby also died that summer, and I dug up some of his old records and played them -- including, of course, "White Christmas."

Love it! NOLA is where we went on our honeymoon. My Long Island guy was blown away with Bourbon St. and it was normal for me.
It didn't help that it was St. Patrick's Day & a parade when we arrived to French Quarter. We accidently got married on one of the drunkest days of the year as it was the Saturday of his spring break at the university.
Ten years later we decided to have our anniversary dinners on another night after a guy spilled his Guiness down my pale green linen suit at a street party. The Irish Pub we walked to, after a French dinner (I know!) threw beads like Mardi Gras from the roof. I was reaching for a necklace at the same time as the beer guy. It did wash out but that was it for us celebrating on that day with crazy people

Yes. I have a Pioneer in my car. I installed it myself. It has a CD/DVD player, an SDHC card player, a USB port, and an AUX plug. I have at one time or other used each of them. It is a great device. Last I looked, they don’t make anything like it anymore.
I suspect what Pioneer is trying vainly to overcome is (a) the lack of people who care about physical media, and (b) the lack of standardized spaces on cars to install aftermarket stereos.

For many years, there was a DIN standard for car stereos. They were all the same width. 1 DIN was the standard height, but there were also 1.5 DIN and 2 DIN models. The DIN standard probably had a maximum depth, and also a standard pinout, but I am not certain about that. The little Dual head unit I mentioned upthread is a 1 DIN unit, but it is only about 2 inches deep, and weighs a scant few ounces.
DIN is "Deutsch Institut fur something or other".

One of the more beautiful places you will ever see. Also one of the more overpriced places you will ever see. But if you want to get your glam on Nantucket is the place.
There are 3 major, I use the term loosely, islands of note off the coast of MA and RI and some smaller ones. Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard and Block. Nantucket is the most exclusive, the Vineyard is the most visited and touristy. Block is the Goldilocks choice.
But don't tell anyone.

Knew about that one as my late BIL and his wife (UofRI) used to go yearly. He died at 33yrs of a rare heart disease when we were 31...he died running and training for the Boston Marathon.
His wife is from RI (he was born in RI like my dude). She didn't like my redneck self much from the start. I don't really know why, but whatever. He liked to party and have fun, so we got along great. She often had migraines and didn't like parties. They had two little boys like we did at the time.
I supported her as best as I could from FL for two years til she remarried. For reasons unknown 11yrs ago she ghosted me once we moved West. She thought I was getting to close to our MIL and was oddly jealous...which couldn't be further from the truth. After MIL died she emailed his siblings that she was cutting ties and adios!
We should drop in on them en route to Nantucket! She'd flip out!

Two young people of the right age to have been her hidden bastard children?
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon
It would take a rather..... large woman to have had two pregnancies without the world knowing. Secret bastard children work better for a dead dude.
That was the opening scene of the Usagi Drop manga/anime. Single 30-year-old dude shows up for grandpa's funeral. Grandpa's 6-year-old illegitimate daughter is there. Nobody else in the high-society family wanted to admit their patriarch was a horndog with a mistress or three, so they wanted to just put her up for adoption. Single 30-year-old dude says "forget that" and takes in his 6-year-old aunt.
The anime, and the first part of the manga, is a d'awwww cute story about a guy learning to dad.
The second part of the manga will not be mentioned, other than to bring up the "Japan, nuked too much or not enough?" question.

I was born in Jackson, MS. Which might have been why SIL was not fond of me as I dunno. I was friendly, kind, crazy and didn't get it.
She always said, oddly, that we looked like movie stars after a trip to see them in CA and Lake Tahoe. No idea why she said this, either, as I was a crazy chick with long blonde hair and whatevah. Never thought or cared how I looked. So it shouldn't have been that issue. I'll never know and that's ok.

The Victorians had a strange liking for posing with recently-deceased relatives in a familial setting, like sitting on a couch or a chair. Because the cameras of the day required seconds for an exposure, all of the parties in the image had to hold still until the photographer placed the lens cover back on the lens. That makes it difficult to identify the departed from the living.

The church choir Mrs B sings in is singing in some king shit church in a major city and had/has a string of practices she couldn't miss. I thought of possibly taking the trip myself, which would have sucked but was doable. Then a few weeks ago I got asked to play at a show at some benefit. I guess there wasn't enough old school metal bands, so people put out feelers to musicians, who contacted other musicians they might have crossed paths with, and in some cases actually played in other bands with, etc. Turned out to be mini reunions, and guest jams, and other bands, etc. Yeah I wasn't going to miss that. I also didn't want to be the dick who said no since I knew a lot of them. And so went my plans for the MoMe.

Unless you took exceptionally good care of your cassette tapes there’s a very good chance they’ll stretch and snap the first time you try to play them again.
Same goes for very old VHS tapes, although they’re a little thicker than cassettes so might actually make it through a play.

I've been to larger ones with over 1000 guests...
Mom wasn't the center of attention, was upset she wasn't at the same table as us (She wanted Vegetarian, so we set up a table close to us that was Vegetarian), so got upset and walked out. I had to calm her down and also help my wife who was freaking out because my Dad wasn't the type to travel so wasn't there, and my mother just walked out...
I think she was also upset there was booze at each table...well, just because YOU don't drink booze doesn't mean others can't as well...besides, my FIL paid for it...

The first night of our honeymoon, after a wedding in Tacoma, was on Vashon Island; my wife's grandmother let us use her house, and it was kind of a BnB. Then we went up to the San Juans a couple days later. It was nice not jumping straight on a long plane ride or driving all night to Anacortes.
The only problem was . . . after taking the ferry and getting to the house sometime after dark---probably one of the last ferries of the day---we realized we forgot to ask her for the keys. So we're standing outside the house in the dark and hoping she'll answer her cell phone. Fortunately she had some keys buried in the garden, and we were able to get in.
Maybe Madame Bovary's wedding night had some upsides after all!

Giorgia Meloni introduced tougher penalties for violent protesters, including prison terms of up to five years, fines of up to €20,000 [and payment for the damage they caused], financial liability for parents whose children engage in vandalism or looting [also reducing the age that teenagers can be prosecuted as adults]. These measures aim to address recent violent protests and enhance public safety.

Our reception was behind the church on the lawn. Being outside made it so relaxing. The church ladies---whom honestly I hardly knew, since I had moved away six years ago---did everything for us. A Serbian friend roasted a whole pig. I met him at 5 a.m. to get the coals started. My wife had been working as a nanny for a big Catholic family with a bunch of little girls. At the dancing they stole the show.

She also does TV commercials for Jacuzzi Home Remodel that play about once per hour on this channel I watch in the mornings.
The girl is from California and in this ad she does the most uptalking I've ever heard in my life.
Every other sentence sounds like she's asking a question.
I could not live with somebody like that.
I'd be trying to answer stuff like "Hello? I am here to remodel your home today? We would like to start by getting some measurements? And then I'm going to come up with some ideas for your home?"

Younger one is...a work in progress. Can't say how his college class (yes singular) is going. I think he passed the class (singular) he took at the JC last semester. Doesn't work (I've been pushing him to). Doesn't have much clothing, yet when I say I'll buy it for him, refuses. Has had issues since before my wife passed, but worse since.

For some reason that brought to mind the joke of the three men on their wedding night, one married to a nurse, one to a telephone operator, one to a teacher...
Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at October 21, 2026 03:05 AM (l3cgK)
The first man married a nurse. Dave thinks to himself, "Nurses are known to be hot to trot."
The second man married a telephone operator. Dave thinks to himself, "Telephone operators have sexy voices."
The third man married a school teacher. Dave thinks to himself, "Poor guy, teachers are frigid."
The next morning, Dave reports to work and gets a room service call from the nurse's husband. He sourly says, "Don't ever marry a nurse. All I heard last night was 'You're not sanitary! You're not sanitary!'"
Then, the telephone operator's husband calls and sourly says, "Don't ever marry a telephone operator. All I heard last night was 'Your three minutes are up, Your three minutes are up.'"
Later that afternoon, the teacher's husband calls and happily says, "When you marry, be sure to marry a school teacher. All I heard last night was 'We are going to do this over and over until we get right.'"

They have no clue what they want to do with their lives, what they want to do for a living, or how to even figure that out.
If he's good with his hands at all, the best course is to take trade classes and get into a job that pays well fixing other people's problems they don't want to deal with.
College is not for every young man, and some times it can just make things work because they are bored to death and would rather be doing something else.

Yeah, some chemo agents do quite the job on some aspects of the immune system...
I used to do at-home peritoneal dialysis every day (for five years). Every time I connected or disconnected to the machine, I had to go through this 5 minute+ handwashing procedure before I started. All the clamps I used had to be sterilized in a bleach solution, and all fans (including the main house heater/AC) had to be off. Knew the procedure by heart, but always followed each written step...
Only had peritonitis ONCE, and it wasn't the fault of my connecting/disconnecting either...I believe it was a minor leak from my intestine into the peritoneal fluid from walking too hard/fast in hard dress shoes on concrete for a court appearance.

I get it, been there done that.
I would tell him, that his depression and feelings of inadequacy aren't going to go away just doing nothing.
In fact, it's the exact opposite.
For men, accomplishing something, whether it's as simple as cleaning the kitchen and taking out the trash gives you a sense of purpose and satisfaction.
Men have to do something to feel complete.
Otherwise we are followed around by this constant feeling of "I'm doing it wrong" which will do your head no favors.
The exercise and focus of working on something also helps to keep the depression demons away.

For the braniacs and jocks it works out for them, they are likely going to college and possibly on a scholarship, their life path is set into their 20s.
For the normies who have no clue what they like to do or what they're good at, and get no clues at schools, they get lost in the system.
I always liked those tests they used to give students which determined the kind of things they were good at, and what kind of career they'd be suited for, but then there was never really any follow-up to that once you got the results.
They should have ways to steer students, boys and girls, into career track classes that actually suit them and their talents.

Yeah, but does stupid things. He started smoking...then tried to quit (he knows all about one of my brother's issues with smoking, but took it up ANYWAY). Now vapes, which is better (except for the flavors). It'd be nice if he quit, since those aren't free, (and I refuse to buy him any), but gets them from his friends.
I don't allow it in the house. Zero tolerance for it. He *mostly* doesn't do it in the house; I can smell when he does, even if he denies it.
His mother died two days after his 17th birthday; he'll be 20 in a few months. I remember holding her hand, telling her she couldn't die that day as it was his birthday...we had a little party in our bedroom (no candles--there was an oxygen concentrator in the room. The tech on those is really interesting). She was unconscious the entire time, but I felt she knew we were there (she would make certain noises and they would stop when I would read to her).

Feral cat wants to join a home's domesticated cats.
Hey... nice beaver. This is why no one does yoga with cats. Aw: A blind horse is led around the pasture by her donkey friend. If I already linked this, my apologies: Bull terrier and squirrel are best friends. Thank you. Nice woman helps a baby lamb reunited with its mom. Firefighter rescues puppy from a fire, then adopts it. "Chico" the German shepherd went missing. His family couldn't find him. So he just walked into a police station to report himself missing.
The incredible incident unfolded on September 30, 2026, when the clever pooch casually strolled up to the front doors of the Tampa Police Department. Amused officers welcomed the unexpected guest and playfully dubbed him a "K-9 applicant" humorously adding that his application was only rejected because their roster was already completely full. Instead of putting him to work, an officer escorted Chico to a local veterinarian to scan for a microchip. The quick scan successfully retrieved his family's contact information, and police immediately reached out to his worried owner.
Later that day, the department's bodycam footage captured the emotional moment Chico was reunited with his tearful owner. The owner, overwhelmed with relief, hugged her adventurous pet and explained to officers that Chico simply loves the outdoors and must have wandered a bit too far during his playtime.

There's great old black and white noir movie where Edmund O'Brien shows up at a police station to report a murder. His own. DOA. It's good.

As for yoga with cats, it won't work if you roll out a separate mat for them. They'll abandon it the second you roll out one for yourself and try to use it.
I tried this with an old laptop once. It's finished! it's fried! It's standing open and it's turned on. Here, cat, it's yours!
Nope. I'll sit on yours while you're attempting to work, thank you.

Once when I was canoeing in Wisconsin, paddling down a narrow channel winding through tall reeds, a mother duck suddenly burst into the open water in front of us, flapping with a broken wing. She struggled forward, just ten feet away, until we had gone maybe a quarter mile. Then she flew up high and turned back.

I owe you this update, though it stings very much to write. Last Thursday’s hearing in Berenson v Gottlieb was difficult for me to watch. I was sure we had lost when I left the courtroom, on the 17th floor of the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse in Manhattan.
Our last best chance, as I wrote last week, gone in 10 minutes. The only positive in all this, and it’s a very small one, is that the judges didn’t make us wait long to swing the axe. The decision came out this morning. I haven’t even been able to make myself read it yet.
This hurts. It really hurts. Not just because I put a huge amount of time into researching and working on these briefs. Not just because I know - and presented the evidence - that Dr. Scott Gottlieb conspired to get me forced off Twitter. Not just because the judges even refused to consider the idea that the Covid unvaccinated might be deserving of protection as a class. But because I will never get to find out what really happened in 2021 - or to tell you. (Theoretically, we can ask the Supreme Court to hear the case, but the odds are extremely long they’d even consider it.) The bad guys won.

Seems there really is a contamination problem: Chemotherapy drugs can be excreted through various bodily fluids such as urine, feces, vomit, saliva, and even sweat. This means that anyone coming into contact with these fluids could potentially be exposed to the drugs. The duration for which these drugs remain in the body varies depending on the type of chemotherapy and the individual’s metabolism.

Read the link. I would say the greatest risk is not the caregiver being poisoned by secondary exposure to the chemo agents, but in passing bacteria or virii to the patient whose immune system may be compromised. Use common sense.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at October 20, 2026 09:05 PM (wSl27)
You are correct. However the risk is minimal to the family. The lack of love and contact with the patient is cataclysmic.

Yep. I got sick last week and set up shop in the den. I also stay there for the first 48 hours after her infusion. She's a military spouse, btw, 21 years of deployments and TDYs. We're fine. This too shall pass.

It was very strange. At first I thought I was coming down with something, nausea, and strange hot/cold combinations, intense fatigue, hard to describe. It lasted about half a day and then gradually lifted. My wife was talking about what she was going through it and was so similar I realized that I was poisoned, and so we realized we had to be extra careful and maybe we're overdoing it, but cold season is starting, and better to be safe.
We've told the grandkids that they can say "hi" from her doorway, but she's pretty weak and we don't want any complications.

What we may well see is a reprise of the 1930s and the Popular Fronts, this time for Islam.
I'm sure everyone here already has a copy of Long Live Death, but this is a very old plan of creating chaos in order to set the stage for a revolution. The forces of order are poised to regain power, and just as in Spain 1936, the left is trying to forestall that.
Unfortunately for them, France has a very shaky constitutional system, so a Sixth Republic is definitely possible.

Quick Hits
Selfish leftwing race-obsessed, Trump-obsessed woman does the greatest possible favor for kind conservative man: She breaks up with him.
And then cries about it. He was such a good and kind man, she says, but darnit, he voted for Trump three times (and lied that he didn't vote for Trump last time) and he should do whatever she wants because she's a victim of "CSA," which I assume means child s** assault but don't hold me to that. I'm not one of the Alphabet People or People Who Have Turned Their Trauma Into Their Entire Personality so I don't know all the shorthand for all the traumas and mental illnesses these people collect like vintage baseball cards.
They Fled Trump's America. Now They Regret ItAlso, never go during Arson Season, which now extends every year from July 20th to June 30th. Also, don't go during Christmas Vehicular Mass Casualty Event season. The cars just come alive and drive themselves!
The internet told them Europe was a social paradise. Turns out the trains are awful, the health care isn't free, and people can be really mean.
While researching their new destination on Reddit, TikTok, and Instagram, Annie found Americans eager to explain how enchanting life in the British suburbs could be--all the benefits of a small town, just a short train ride away from one of the biggest cities in the world. The more she read, the sunnier her expectations about the UK's health care system, social culture, and European transportation systems became. They moved before the end of the year. But the reality of life in the UK was dramatically different to what she'd imagined. "There are huge misconceptions about access to quality health care, standard of living ... the quality of life is significantly lower than in the US," she says, citing the challenges she experienced with the National Health Service's maternity care--having moved while pregnant with her first child--as well as the lack of disposable income in Britain, thanks to lower salaries. "Things in the UK that are considered luxury items are very common" in America, like a dishwasher and dryer, she adds.Also, it turns out that the prelapsarian paradise of Europe is filled with chauvanists and bigots. Who knew.
Annie says she experienced a high amount of anti-American sentiment straight away. "I found it particularly surprising how people feel so comfortable mocking my accent and culture, even in a workplace environment," she says. "The UK is very much a place of 'it is what it is,' but as Americans we are taught to always improve and strive for better things." Annie and her husband now have an exit plan for summer next year, the earliest their employers would allow them to relocate back home.Annie is a psuedonym. She wants to remain anonymous because she fears DRUMPF'S FASCIST DEATH SQUADS. Just kidding -- she wants to remain anonymous because she knows her fellow left-wingers will attack her and cancel her for telling them that Europe isn't better than America.
Like several other Americans WIRED spoke to about their decision to leave and subsequent regret, Annie wanted to remain anonymous because she is concerned about the professional risks of publicly criticizing life abroad. Others cited recent online backlash when other Americans said they missed home, or, in one case, a realization that the political climate of Trump's America was not something they could escape by heading to Europe."Josh" also wants to remain anonymous to avoid cancellation by his fellow "anti-fascist" activists. He fears they would attack him if they read him writing that Germany is, get this, xenophobic and bigoted against foreigners. Again, who knew?
This was a similar reality for Josh, another American immigrant who asked to remain completely anonymous, citing concerns about backlash. He moved to Berlin in 2023, in part anticipating what might happen at the 2024 election, and also because he felt his life had hit standstill post-Covid. He had even lived in Germany before, spoke German, and had friends in Berlin. But his expectations, particularly when it came to his career, didn't align with reality.Huh! Wow, it turns out that insularity and distrust of outsiders isn't uniquely American after all. By the way, progressives, why are you moving to Euorpe? If you're against White Supremacy, shouldn't you move to more "indigenous" lands? Annie was surprised that British people and British trains aren't like what she sees in Agatha Christie movies. Also, health care is expensive.
Advertisement "Finding work was so hard, and the endless bureaucracy had grown worse since I'd left," he tells WIRED. "I missed the friendlier people, freedom of speech, and ease of daily life" in the US. He adds, "If you aren't born and raised there, and don't look German, you'll never be fully accepted."
"I thought that 'British politeness' existed as it does in movies," Annie says, "but unfortunately, the reality is that present-day British culture is very individualistic, as well as without the sense of charity and helpfulness that many parts of American culture value." She says she had negative experiences with the NHS maternal care, compared to the smooth experience of her private health insurance in the US, and didn't expect it to cost her anything: "I pay huge amounts of taxes and an immigration surcharge to access the NHS services--so no, the health care is not free here." She also expected train travel to be low cost, based on what she'd read about Europe (despite the extortionate train prices and terrible service quality being one of the biggest political conversations in the UK).Who knew! Also, turns out that she's the cliched American -- she apparently did no research whatsoever into the foreign country she was emigrating too and relied entirely on hearsay from television for her knowledge of the UK. Emigrants and de-emigrants -- those who moved back -- are attacked by the Nice Kind Open-Minded Reality-Based Community. They have their Simpleton's View of the World firmly in their pointy-but-empty-heads and they get ragefull if someone who knows things based on actual experience contradicts their fantasies.
A noticeable number of American influencers and anonymous social media users are calling it quits, often sheepishly confessing that life wasn't what they expected--and that they missed their old lives back in the US. On subreddits dedicated to these kinds of discussions, like r/expats, r/GoingToSpain, r/AmericanExpatsUK, r/AmerExit, you can now find a number of stories about difficulties building a new community, trouble finding work, icier cultural norms compared to the open friendliness of America, and sometimes a higher-than-expected European cost of living. Many posts now feature people asking for a new kind of advice: Is it okay for me to miss, or even to want to move, back home? These posts are usually met with a huge amount of backlash. Commenters are quick to imply that the poster must be right-wing and privileged, in for a nasty shock if they did return home. Ironically, many times, they parrot the right-wing notion that they probably aren't trying hard enough to assimilate into their new country. When one person recently said they badly missed their community of friends in a "blue city in a blue state" and were considering moving back, the majority of top comments agreed the user was "insane."
When Annie posted earlier this summer on Reddit her excitement about going back to the US in 2027, the comments were largely critical, and ones offering functional relocation advice were heavily downvoted. A moderator intervened, saying many people in the forum "believe the USA is evil" and conversely "the UK is paradise," continuing that there was often little room for nuance or empathy for differing experiences. In another from earlier this year, where a user said they were struggling to adjust to life in Spain with a toddler, commenters warned that she may cause psychological damage to her child if she relocated back to the US.Everyone is afraid to challenge the progressive know-nothing orthodoxy-enforcers:
"What is happening in the US is also happening everywhere now, to the point I'm even a little hesitant in what I say to you, or anywhere online," says Nick, an art director from New York who relocated to Poland in part because of right-wing populism in the US.Yup. It's so obvious that the real threat of authoritarian thought-control is coming from the right. On the other hand: There are so many more opportunities for Cultural Enrichment in Europe, especially for attractive young women traveling alone. A late friend of mine used to sort-of quote Nietzche. Or "quote" him -- I have never been able to track down this quote, so it's a loose paraphrase at best. But the "quote" he would repeat is, approximately: "Perhaps, if everywhere you go you find people who disappoint and despise you, maybe the real problem has always been just you." I don't know the real quote but if you do, I'd like to know it.

A video circulating out of Portland, Oregon shows a high school football player sprinting across the field and knocking down the kid carrying the American flag.
Friday night, Oct. 16. Grant High School at Jefferson High School, both Portland Public Schools. Grant ran out behind the flag. A Jefferson player in gold came in from the side, hit the flag carrier, and the flag went down. On camera, no adult steps in. An Instagram account using Jefferson branding posted the clip with this caption: "This is what happens when you disrespect us... wasn't feeling that American flag 😂" A laughing emoji. Over knocking down a kid holding the flag. These are kids, so leave their names out of it. But the adults running this program owe everyone an answer. Was anybody disciplined? Has the district said one word about it? If you want answers, contact Portland Public Schools and the OSAA and ask what they're doing about it. H/t @tarenfeist.

BREAKING:
French police have attempted to arrest the far-left French Member of Parliament and Antifa leader Raphael Arnault. The police raiding the wrong train car by mistake and Arnault managed to escape. He is now hiding inside the parliament where police can’t enter. It’s unclear whether they tried to arrest him for organizing student riots or for his suspected involvement in the murder of the right-wing French student Quentin Deranque in February this year. Quentin was beaten to death by members of Arnault’s Antifa group. One of the arrested suspected murderers is Arnault’s parliamentary assistant.— Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) October 20, 2026

See, she's says she's a victim of being raped as a child.
Doesn't matter if it is true or she lied.
Or that there's no proof.
And the man she accuses is dead.
She is a victim.
And you can't attack victims.
Even if they lie about everything else.
And that is why the voters should give her the most powerful elected position in OH.
You have to own a pretty damned stout cuck chair to eat all that bullshit.

Social justice stands in opposition to "individual justice," previously known as plain old justice.
Social "justice" is GROUP justice. White people must be punished not because any particular white person did something but because as a race they owe a "debt" and other races are entitled to extract repayment.
weird how judging races as a whole and deciding some races were inferior to others was the worst thing in the world and obviously racist until it became the best thing in the world and gloriously ANTI-racist 15 years ago.

Disillusioned expatriates should be laughed at, not pitied. Their travails were entirely predictable. Europeans will always consider Americans as trailer-trash and no amount of cringing obeisance or scorn for their native land will be sufficient to overcome this.
Plus, Europe was never the paradise they thought it would be, unless you're a childless layabout retiree. They are lotos-eaters who live in a state of stagnation and are intolerant of anyone - except harmless neurodivergent wackos - who might upset this stasis.

I loved the collected freak out of a local trans mom subreddit after Trump was elected in 2024. They were taking their kids out of school and fleeing the country. Then wanting awards (or something) for how many trans kids they had.
This chick knew she was dating a conservative man from the start. Her trauma is just never going to end. Run, conservative man, run fast and far.

I had an aisle seat and there were people scrambling in the row ahead of me and behind. I ended up with a guy our son's age who informed me he was flatulent and I said, "I have brothers and sons, I assure you that nothing you say or do will faze me."
We laughed and drank on the flight across the country. He put his headphones in his backpack to continue talking to me as I described the Southern funeral. We mocked others on the plane quietly. It was fun and I deplaned reeking of gin, so my husband said when he picked me up.
He lived in Virginia with his liberal wife and 3 daughters and was flying West to ski with buddies.
I informed him I was a Trump voter, figuring he might freak but wth. He said he wanted to vote for Trump but his liberal wife would freak out. I felt bad for him and said nothing...but I wanted to ask,"Why did she see your vote?"
While my dude and I have always voted the same way, and I research judges and he researches other stuff... how sad he had to vote for Hil Hag or, I guess, not get anymore sex.
He also griped about his in-laws to me and thought I was the bomb to want to babysit our grandson.

A man residing in south Minneapolis has been charged in Hennepin County District Court with a felony count of threats of violence after making threats to bomb the Mall of America and Minneapolis schools, charges say.
The criminal complaint states:
On Oct. 11, Niman Ali Ahmed, 24, called 911 and stated that he made multiple bombs at home and he was planning on bombing the Mall of America and different schools in Minneapolis the following day.
Ahmed said he was planning the acts “to get payback for the killing of George Floyd.” Ahmed claimed he was part of a group that was going to carry out the acts and that he was also part of a group chat with people who were planning terrorist attacks at the Mall of America. Ahmed said he had demons and they were telling him to do things.

They voted for secure borders, national sovereignty, nothing for NGOs -- and their lying leaders pulled the rug on them after they got elected. Dumb American lefties mistake Ursula van der Leyen for average Giuseppe.

Let's just say it wasn't hard to find out both Germany and Britain enjoy a much higher cost of living with a consequently lower standard of living.
For instance, what's considered standard in our country, say 3 bedroom, two bath house with a full private bath off the master bedroom, off street parking, two car garage, etc 1.5 to 3 times the cost in Britain or Germany, utilities are out of sight, groceries are bad, etc. Oh, and it's very difficult to find an apples to apples comparison because the type of housing we consider standard here is hard to find in Britain and Germany.

Another thing about those American expats in Europe.
Many say they're shocked at how hard it is to emigrate. The paperwork, the language, the work permits, the social freeze.
I think it's because they're looking at how easy it is to immigrate in America. Just stroll across the border, go demand your welfare, get paid under the table for domestic work, school will teach your kids in Spanish ningun problema, all official forms available in Spanish... it's as easy as postel de manzana.

I did 21 years in the military and I have been all over this planet and we here in America have it made. There is no real poverty here in the US contrary to what the media claims, there is no "food insecurity" either. We are hands down the richest country in the world bar none.
I have seen poverty and starvation in other countries where people are dying from lack of medical care, no clean water and little to no food. Hell in just africa alone 25% of children born never make it to their fifth birthday due to disease, starvation or war.
Go to the philippines, malaysia and thailand where people use public streets as toilets and garbage dumps. They dry their rice on the side of highways while cars and buses pass by spewing black exhaust fumes directly on the rice. They live in tin shacks with dirt floors and cook over open fires.
Leave if you hate America.

This was the first of 3 breakups for no reason our first year. The second time I was angry. Third time annoyed and told him to leave me alone, which did no good as here I am. I'd rather have died than let him see me cry.
My mother kept all of my college letters and they are pretty funny. In one I said a schizo cousin at home had "sexual tension" (reason he gave for his psychotic break). When I read it last year I cracked up at the thought of someone reading it aloud at the dinner table with my 6yr old brother!
For starters, I didn't know what sexual tension was, much less why on earth I put it in a letter home.
I think it was my pretend to be liberal phase along with the fake hippie clothing.
Most of the letters (once a month and thick with many pages of continued writing) were explaining why I needed more $ and I was sorry about asking. Telling Daddy to sell one of my cows (like I had my own herd). I was a charming PITA.

Our society has gone far too much on the side of reducing public violence. Everyone should get their ass kicked at least once in their lives, I had it happen and recommend it. It helps you understand your relative abilities and grounds you.
I get not wanting people to get beat up, especially your precious snowflake Chosen One child, but it is actually beneficial to society for that threat to be real. Whatever drawbacks it brings are more than offset by the benefits to culture at large. Too many people have never been punched in the face.

Trump Creates $25 Million Fund to Pay Bounties to Whistleblowers Who Alert the Government of Fraud
If you want to stop foreign pirates, issue letters of marque and reprisal.
This isn't quite that but it's good to incentivize people to report fraud.President Donald Trump is putting cash behind his crackdown on taxpayer fraud, offering Americans rewards for tips that help bring fraudsters to justice. Speaking alongside Vice President JD Vance and independent journalist Nick Shirley in the Oval Office, Trump unveiled the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program and said qualifying tipsters would receive a 1% commission, subject to applicable laws and rules.A 1% commission. That could be huge.
I'd like to report Ilhan "Omar" and her entire foreign pirate "family," please. Hooboy, I'm lookin' for a new home on Easy Street!
"If you turn somebody in and you, let's say report, and you find $1 billion, we are giving a commission to that person of 1%," Trump said. Fox News Digital exclusively reported plans for the program ahead of Tuesday's announcement. A White House official initially described a $25 million initiative administered by the Justice Department, with rewards of up to $30,000 for tips leading to a successful fraud conviction or significant federal enforcement action. Trump's remarks outlined a different payout structure. He said journalists could also participate, subject to applicable rules and approval from their employers. Americans can report suspected theft of taxpayer dollars through fraud.gov, Trump said.
... Vance said the initiative grew out of a conversation with Trump about recruiting Americans to help investigators uncover fraud. "If you want to help us stop it, you get to share in the rewards," Vance said. Shirley drew national attention in December 2025 after publishing a video questioning whether several Somali-run Minnesota daycare centers were operating as legitimate businesses. His video showed apparently empty facilities and included people who said they had not seen children at the locations. The White House credited Shirley's reporting with helping spur a surge of FBI and Department of Homeland Security resources into Minnesota, followed by investigations, arrests and new charges.This is genuinely huge. Trump is offering potentially millions of dollars for a little bit of research and detective work. Nick Shirley is going to be a rich man. He can't collect a bounty retrospectively, but he knows how to find the fraudsters and will be collecting in the future. Markwayne Mullin praised Nick Shirely and pointed out that "everyone knew" about the Learing Center but not a single media company reported on it. He also says the DOJ's fraud task force is moving to seize an entire half-block of Minneapolis which he said was purchased with SNAP fraud.

BREAKING: The feds just moved to seize half a city block in Minneapolis, reportedly bought with stolen SNAP money. Per the White House fraud task force, DOJ's new National Fraud Division filed yesterday to take back property that was fraudulently bought with food stamp dollars meant for hungry Minnesotans. Then the speaker turned to the press in the room: "None of your outlets reported it. It took one brave kid and a camera." That learning center was cited hundreds of times, and the legacy media sat on it for years.

He fled to INDIA but the FBI MADE SURE WE GOT HIM 🔥 Bedi pocketed at least $600,000 in SNAP benefits by giving recipients cash for their EBT cards He'd ring up $200 on a card, hand over $100 in cash, and keep the other $100, all for groceries that were never sold Kash Patel's FBI put him on the new "Most Wanted Fraudsters" list in September, and Indian police quickly took him into custody THIS IS LAW AND ORDER.— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 16, 2026
We need a full audit of our Food Stamps EBT program
This American says he gets $300 per month on Food Stamps, to qualify he simply lies “How are you getting money from the government?” “I lie” “What are you getting from the government?” “Food stamps” “What the f*ck, how much are you getting in food stamps?” “$300 bucks a month” Just so you know, there are supposed to be real penalties for committing fraud like this by lying to get food stamps - 1st time lying, 12-month SNAP ban
- 2nd time lying 24-month ban
- 3rd time lying permanent ban But you can also get criminal penalties too - Under $100 is a misdemeanor up to 1 year in prison
- $100 – $4,999 is a felony up to 5 years in prison
- $5,000 or more is a felony up to 20 years in prison If you’re thinking about committing EBT fraud. Don’t— Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) September 9, 2026
🚨TUESDAY TAKEDOWN: STEAL SNAP. GET BUSTED. 🚨
@OIGUSDA— Secretary Brooke Rollins (@SecRollins) October 20, 2026
A Brooklyn retailer operator has been sentenced to 9 MONTHS in prison and ordered to repay $641,952.06 to Ohio’s SNAP program following a scheme involving stolen food benefits.
Investigators traced 2,823 fraudulent EBT transactions to Raed Subhi Abu Mohammad’s store, where stolen card information was used to drain benefits from Ohio families.
Mohammad pleaded guilty to attempted illegal use of food stamps and theft.
Food assistance is for Americans in need. Steal it, and face the consequences.

Not just defrauding the federal government, the welfare fraud and the Medicare fraud and all that.
But also how much the defraud their own state.
Especially if you add in the indirect beneficiaries of the fraud.

Not that long ago. My father always had a soft heart. All the local drunks knew he was good for a few bucks if they pushed a broom around the parking lot a bit.
He would also hire fallen contractors to do small jobs -- masonry work, carpentry,... whatever, knowing they were not reliable but would be good for one day, or maybe a week. Just to help them out. He understood he had to work with them to make sure they didn't fuck up, but he was doing it to help out a lost soul.

Perhaps originally it was meant to be a temporary stop gap for people who would eventually get jobs. They found a way to live without jobs or pride, and voted Dim all these years.
This has been abused for generations, evolving into junk food purchases. President Trump has been the first to try to both control purchases and track it.
An example of the generational dole: NOLA after Hurricane Katrina. Welfare was all they knew in their government teat lives. Waiting for rescue transportation...when there has always been ways to leave (well, Gov. Nagin did not help with his flooded school busses).
The famous photo of a smiling man looting a plastic bin of Heineken after the levee broke comes to mind; as even the NOLA police joined in the looter fun for free plasma TV's.

He's a good dude. He was brought in by Engler to primary a GOP squish, did a good job in the state senate and was in Congress for a bit. He then retired, but was recruited for the Senate because he's bland, centrist and safe. Slotkin cheated, but now he's the perfect foil for El-Sayed.
I got a mailer the other day - get this - attacking Rogers for having a second home in Florida. WOW! That's going to make the Boomers super angry, they'll absolutely vote for El-Sayed now - and his second home in the Emirates.
Can't make this crap up.

Yes, whistleblower rewards are generally considered taxable income in California. This means that any monetary awards received for reporting fraud or non-compliance may be subject to state and federal taxes.

I don't know the year when they started using actual food stamps but when I was a kid you had to go to a warehouse to get government food. You got what they had and did not get a choice. I do not recall my mother ever having actual food stamps, possibly she had a card to get in the place but that was back in the early 60s and my memory from then isn't 100% reliable.
We would get cheese, peanut butter and some times meat. That was usually pork that had so much grease floating on the top of the can you had to scoop it out with a big spoon before you got to the meat. The peanut butter came in big green cans and had to be stirred up before you could eat it as the oil separated to the top of the can.

That's a sign that it was decent quality. I've switched to a low sugar peanut butter and it needs stirring. All of it used to be like that before we added chemicals to stabilize it.

I remember this from the 70s, (as I said above, my father had a business in the city so we learned some things.) This was part of the supplemental nutrition program, and I think it varied a lot by state. This was only supplemental and not a main source of food, as SNAP and all the other programs are today.
Reagan famously dumped excess stores of cheese into the program in the 80s, and I think at that time they also gave out other foods, but most of it was not as appealing as the cheese, because the cheese, you see, was a form of currency in the ghettos. Restaurants would buy it all up to serve.
That was fraud too. As long ago as I can recall, food stamps were exchanged. Small grocers gave cash which was spent on drugs or booze.

I needed to find out why? why such demand for phone cards.
What I learned is that immigrants got SNAP or other forms of support, and they traded that in for long distance phone cards to call home. They also transferred money home at the shops.
The stores would then sell the SNAP to grocers, who would sell food to restaurants. All of it under the table and immune from taxes. What a racket. There were so many because it was very low overhead and high margins, and it relied on local walk-in business so they had a fixed set of people who would show up every month to cash in their government checks.

That's a sign that it was decent quality. I've switched to a low sugar peanut butter and it needs stirring. All of it used to be like that before we added chemicals to stabilize it.
I've also heard that "government cheese" was pretty darn good from kids who lived on it.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at October 20, 2026 06:06 PM (ZOv7s)
This is 100% true...any peanut butter made with just peanuts and salt MUST be stirred b/c oil will eventually separate since there are no added emulsifiers and stabilizers to make it not separate...
Aka, good healthier less processed food is normally uglier food...

I made some homemade peanut butter once (had some peanuts and didn't know what to do with them). It turned out OK. I don't think it lasted long enough for there to be any separation, but I do recall that it was a lot dryer and grittier than the store-bought peanut butter. Not enough oil, even though I went by the recipe...

Despite other cultures (predominately in the East) eating more peanuts than in the West, they have a fraction of the number of people allergic to peanuts. AND, it's because they mostly boil and fry peanuts in preparation as opposed to the standard roasting in the West...which heightens and changes the structure of the proteins and is more likely to trigger an immunity response.

If you have a blender, you can take salted peanuts and turn them into peanut butter. Depending on how dry they are, you may have to add a little (peanut) oil to get it to turn into a butter. It’s very, very easy. And very easily adapted.
INDIAN PEANUT BUTTER
1 cup roasted peanuts; 1 tsp cumin powder; 2 cloves garlic; peanut oil as needed; 4 tsp chili powder; salt to taste
Grind peanuts, garlic, and spices in food grinder or blender. Stir in peanut oil to attain desired consistency. Add salt to taste.

Years back a channel looked into one of the Ukraine payouts. About half never left the US - payments to US contractors for weapons and such. Above half of the rest went to NGOs 'in Ukraine' most of which was kicked back to the US and Europe I'd assume. When the part that hit Ukraine arrived in country, well, then the party started with items being sold off all around the world.

Ohio Democrat Gubernatorial Candidate Is a "Liar" Who "Needs Help" Says... Her Mom in Campaign Attack Ad
Amy Acton is, reportedly, Kamalaesque in her passion for self-medication.
I got that from Beege Wellborn, who has a good backgrounder on Amy Acton, including her history of inventing dramatic but false claims of assault that rival Jussie Smollet's. But why would her own mother call her a liar in a campaign ad? Why would her own mother none-too-subtly imply that she is mentally sick and needs to spend time at a sanitarium rather than the governor's mansion? Well, it's all odd. Amy Acton says that her step-father raped her at age 12 and that her mother "enabled" it. Her mother Amy Acton is a fabulist.
Kentucky Girl
@Kentuckygirl1 This is Dr. Amy Acton, the Democrat candidate for Governor. In 2019, there was a police visit to her home after she and her husband apparently got into a drunken domestic dispute. According to the police record, after drinking and taking an unknown amount of medication, she allegedly pulled a mirror off the wall, and was about to start driving until her husband talked her out of it. A medic was dispatched to the scene and advised that Acton be taken to the hospital to get checked out, but she declined. At the time, she was the director of the Ohio Department of Health. This is not a person who should be leading anything, except maybe an AA meeting.
If Ramaswamey did drop this ad, then it seems likely that he believes he is in fact behind the latest Democrat alcoholic wine-mom, because this is a high-risk move he wouldn't chance if he thought he was ahead. So, Ohio Morons, vote. As for the claims of abuse: I obviously don't know if they're true or not. I just read about this five minutes ago. Her claim that an "armed man" came after her at a campaign event -- which didn't happen -- suggest she might have a histrionic personality disorder and that she might confabulate threats and assaults for attention. Or she could be a legitimate rape victim who engages in the Democrats' favorite past-time of faking victim status. I don't know. I do know I would not want to entrust the machinery of the state to this covid Karen who seems to have a substance abuse problem and allegedly poor mental healthy.
A jarring new ad in the Ohio governor's race features Democrat Amy Acton's birth mother denouncing her and calling her a liar -- but Acton says her mom enabled and supported the man who raped her when she was just 12 years old. Acton's campaign is now accusing her GOP opponent Vivek Ramaswamy of reaching a "despicable low" in the race by dredging up her painful past as a child sex abuse survivor. In the shocking video, Donna Arthur accused Acton of embellishing her accusations about being sexually abused as a child. "I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent--and it's not easy for a mother to say this -- but Amy has a serious problem. She is a liar. She lies about her past," Arthur said in the stunning video clip. "She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true," Arthur went on. "She's lied her entire life. My daughter needs help, and she can't help you if she needs help herself. People can change, but first they have to tell the truth, and my daughter still isn't doing that." "Don't vote for people who lie. Don't let her become your governor. If you think she'll make your life better, you're fooling yourself. It will only get worse." Acton's camp immediately hit out at Ramaswamy -- a tech exec and 2024 presidential candidate -- after the video surfaced online Tuesday, but it was not clear who was sponsoring the spot. Ramaswamy's campaign didn't immediately comment Tuesday. ... "After he was arrested and Amy and I were removed from their custody, our birth mother stayed married to Amy's rapist until he died," he added. ... Acton currently has a 3.7 percentage point edge over Ramaswamy in the latest RealClearPolitics aggregate of polls -- despite Ohio being deep red since 2016. The state gave President Trump 53% of the vote in 2020 and 55% in 2024. The Ramaswamy-Acton race has been one of the nation's nastiest this year -- with rampant mudslinging and deeply personal attacks from both sides. Ramaswamy's allies have sought to paint Acton as unstable and insinuate that she has an issue with alcohol. For her part, Acton has called Ramaswamy a "serial liar" and a "scam artist," refusing to debate him. Her allies have also attacked him over his business affairs. Rumors had swirled for some time that Ramaswamy's allies were planning to spotlight Arthur, according to lefty Ohio political site The Rooster. Acton, who helmed the Ohio Department of Health from 2019 through 2020, has been open about her harsh upbringing, making it part of her political origin story.

That is all I can say. This does match up with what we have seen before of her daughter. A number of us have thought she was mentally troubled and a liar. But it is rare when it gets confirmed this convincingly.— AnimalFarm (@animalfarmnow) October 20, 2026

Our county transitioned from overwhelmingly Democrat to overwhelmingly Republican in just 10 years; our upstart House candidate in 2009 knocked off the incumbent Democrat and, a few years later, moved up to the Senate.
Meanwhile, the party apparatus moved, um, 'receptive' candidates into the mix. Yay.

Though, she could do things like...try to unilaterally change regulations on things like mail in voting to make them less secure.

And it appears there are likely to be some big modeling problems in their samples. Ace has already showed that Michigan's early voting is even redder than in 2024. Not sure about Ohio, but there seems to be much more Republican engagement in this election than you find in a normal midterm, likely because Trump made it about the Save Act.

I suspect that is an emotional reaction. I bet if you thought about it for a little bit, you could definitely come up with some examples of people who do deserve to be publicly destroyed by their own mother. Perhaps a son who kills his whole family, but Mom survives because she wasn't home. Don't be so quick to judge what is and is not deserved. Things happen for a reason. Amy Acton signed on for this when she decided to run. She knew what was in her closet. My gut says the whole family is whack. I don't think that qualifies her to be governor. I am not a Vivek person but he's stable. The political commercials running in OHio this time around are freaking vicious. Have been for the last six weeks. People here hate have to choose between bad candidates. But you do what you gotta do.

But it sure as hell scares parents on how easy it is for them to reach their children.
90% of the Dems strategy this election was based on R voters not turning out.

My baby brother is the same way, he is incapable of being truthful even when the truth would better suit his needs. He makes up fantastic stories that are completely 100% false but he expects everyone around him to believe them.
He once claimed that he was kidnapped by the neighbors and held captive for four days when he was 8 years old. They forced him to make them breakfast for them every day until my sister came and rescued him from their garage. I asked him why none of the rest of us, including his mother noticed he was missing for four days. He still insisted that he was kidnapped.
It's a mental illness.

Vivek won the primary by like 60 points.
I think the normal voters in Ohio are far less worried about Vivek than online.
It reminds me of the people insisting that Massie was going to win his primary because he was totally on board with online narratives.
Ohio is so deep red that even if Vivek loses a solid chunk of Republicans, the senate race will get him over the line by increasing the number of low turnout Republicans voting in 2026.

Sometimes liars tell the truth. Sometimes they are malignant narcissists with BPD (documented) who lie, and/or their lies become their truth as they are vindictive and want to hurt others. This sounds like Dim word salad, but I know someone who did this.
I knew her for 42yrs. Successful attorney except in her pick for 2 marriages. Then she decided to work for corruption, leading to a career end.
At some point she said a friend of ours had been a sex abuse victim from her father, that she remembered as an adult. (I'm not saying this is impossible).
Then the story changed to her own family that HER father abused her. Her parents & sisters said no way. I was around her father all of my childhood through college and he never touched me or was inappropriate. She never mentioned this to me in all those years
However, she then abused her parents mentally, alienated all of her siblings and me, her best friend. I finally had enough and stopped the toxic friendship 20yrs ago.
Again, her lies became real to her about other things, and therefore her lie about her own father was treated the same way.
She also was an alcoholic and druggie.

Bio daddy fled with mommy, to Pennsylvania.
Ohio continued to serve warrants but those parents laughed them off.

I spent more time on this in the last thread and the evidence is lining up that Ohio's judiciary and grand jury were correct to serve Acton's bio father with a summons to criminal court.
Bio daddy fled with mommy, to Pennsylvania.
Ohio continued to serve warrants but those parents laughed them off.

And yes views on immigration do matter at the state level. A pro immigrant anti American governor will look the other when illegals register to vote. He’ll allow non-Americans do get CDLs. He’ll allow in state tuition for illegals. When the decision comes down to who benefits Americans or non Americans Vivek will always choose non Americans.

The Dem candidate for governor, current SOS Benson, has been hammering James over data centers, claiming he invested money in some. Oooh! But Benson's husband was a direct investor in the controversial Saline datacenter forced on residents.
But wait, it gets dumber! The Dem-controlled legislature passed a law last cycle that stripped away all local zoning authority to stop data centers! That was given to a board appointed by the governor. So rural voters are being told to vote for the nice lady whose husband gets rich and for the party that fucked them over on local control.
I think that is why Michigan seems so red this year.

Under a grand jury indictment? And two or three warrants did get served from Ohio to PA over this. 1981, 1983 maybe 1987.
National Review and HuffPo are reporting on this, digging more deeply than Stephen Green over at PJM.
Not to mention that if Amy Acton has indeed had some emotional Issues, those Issues tend to come from somewhere. Right now it looks like it comes from the guy who crossed state lines to get out of a grand jury's indictment.

You are an elected official. You made a public statement encouraging members of the Armed Forces to defy lawful orders.
You chose to run for office and subject yourself to that scrutiny.
What you are proposing, on the other hand, is a legal/political vendetta against persons for no reason other than they have political positions different than yours. Your goal is to drive them away from public service.
That's a Stanlist/Maoist approach to political opposition -- your clearly stated desire is to create a one-party state where political opposition is not just to be rebutted, but to be imprisoned.
You're a disgrace -- and I suspect your comments will haunt the rest of your political career. You've likely put a ceiling on any ability you might have had to climb higher.

How about... noooo.
Despite what late 1980s / 1990s movies told you, early 1980s state governments didn't have those cute little "image... ENHANCE!!" apps on their green-and-black CRT monitors. Their software, which did exist, was shite.
They did have phones and email which I noted. Word processing computers - dedicated to that purpose, of producing paperwork, to be printed on dot matrix printers.
Actually getting shit done took manual effort. Michael Milken? They're on it. Loser being accused by one party in the family and defended by another? Refer to the "Top. Men." scene.

Fox News Identifies 54 Marxist/Communist Organizations Funding and Directing the Riots in France
The actual organizations behind the riots are listed in this "Who's Who of France's Chaos, Inc."
SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) -- A Fox News Digital investigation has identified 54 organizations involved in or publicly supporting France's October student protests, including communist parties, socialist groups, labor unions, environmental activists and Palestinian-solidarity organizations. The report alleges that far-left political groups have helped organize and amplify the demonstrations, expanding protests over school conditions into a broader campaign against capitalism, government austerity, policing and military spending. Among those highlighted is Vijay Prashad, executive director of Tricontinental, a nonprofit funded by American-born Marxist tech investor Neville Roy Singham, who lives in Shanghai. Prashad posted a message on X linking protests in Paris, New Delhi and Buenos Aires, quoting the Clash lyric, "Let fury have the hour, anger can be power." According to Fox News Digital, 16 of the 54 identified organizations are student or youth groups, while the other 38 include political parties, unions, advocacy organizations and media outlets. The investigation also identifies an international coalition of 28 communist and socialist youth organizations and groups that is promoting coordinated demonstrations across 12 European countries under the slogan "Fight for Our Future, Not Their Wars!" Organizers are calling for walkouts, rallies, assemblies, blockades and occupations. The report points to organizations associated with Singham's network, including Tricontinental, CodePink and New York-based BreakThrough News, which published video coverage of the French demonstrations under the headline "ANTI-MACRON PROTESTS ROCK FRANCE." CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans, Singham's wife, also cited youth demonstrations in France, Spain and India while promoting a planned November campaign in Washington against U.S. military spending.
Fortunately nothing like that is going on in the USA.
Evidence is growing that the tyrannical regimes of China, Iran, and Cuba are not only financing protests in American streets, but actively directing them. The Network Contagion Research Institute, whose work in these areas has been indispensable for years, recently published another groundbreaking study that blows the lid off how this foreign network operates. The report indicates that an Iranian influence node that takes orders from the Islamic Republic regime, the House of Latin America, conducts what NCRI calls "high-impact domestic U.S. influence operations." "For nearly two decades," NCRI says, HOLA "has functioned as a primary bridge between the Iranian regime, Latin American socialist governments, and U.S. anti-war coalitions, with its American-based operatives acting as undeclared agents of a foreign government on U.S. soil." It gets much worse. HOLA, it says, "has now formally merged with Neville Roy Singham's Chinese Communist Party-linked Tricontinental network to form a unified Iran-China operation targeting the United States from the south." Neville Roy Singham is an American who lives in Shanghai, has close ties to the Chinese Communist Party, and uses the nearly $800 million he made in the 2017 sale of a tech consulting firm to fund communist causes worldwide. All of this means that "Iran and China have now merged their U.S. influence operations into a single machine," the report says. This means that many of the protests in America aren't organic, but actually Kabuki street theater perpetrated by a red-green alliance of communist and Islamist groups. Less well known is the involvement of malign foreign interests. Hillary Clinton recently got into trouble online not for celebrating street mayhem, but for saying that what was wrong was not the protests, but white Christians trying to stop societal and cultural decay. "People have been protesting, you know, for hundreds of years, that, you know, things were not as they should be, given our ideals and how we should be moving toward them. So I think that's what makes us so special as a country," she said on the liberal confessional stage offered by MS Now's Morning Joe every weekday morning. "The idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was, dominated by, you know, let's say it, white men, of a certain persuasion, certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology, is just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for," she averred. I was cheered, though, to hear Hillary confirm that conservatives have derailed the liberal project, at least temporarily: "We were on the path toward that ... we were on the right trajectory."

Slight diversion...
I'll always treasure her public appearances in the aftermath of the 2016 election. She used the same lines over and over. "I was on the way to winning!" she always declared angrily, "and Jim Comey STOPPED my momentum." At that moment, she would dramatically raise her arms and smack her fist into her palm. "If it weren't for that" (turning away from the event host and out to the adoring crowd), "then today, I. Would. Be. Your. PRESIDENT." (roars of applause, lamentation, etc)

This year, they're using up a lot of reserves (see SLPC) and are truly desperate to regain some power. Unfortunately, I can see Trump agreeing to refund some of USAID as part of a budget deal for 2028 if the Dems retake both House and Senate, and there any enough uni-party Republicans hiding in the shadows to cheer them on.

Socialist governments in South America were funders as well, but those have mostly fallen (Brazil next, hopefully).
Cuba's having more blackouts than normal, and I suspect financial pressures on the island from Bessent at Treasury are strangling what lifeline the elite have in the nation. So, it's ability to fund and organize is probably lessened.
And Trump has centered Chinese interests as his focus on foreign policy (Iran is an offshoot of that), squeezing them in on an assortment of fronts.
I don't think this nexus of funding and organizing is going to be as effective today as it was 3 years ago.

Vivek thought it was a good idea to drag in Amy Acton's biological mother to run an ad against her:
x.com wcdispatch/status/2112388948563554668
That mother had lost custody of Amy when Amy was twelve, because she'd hooked up with a pedobear who then molested Amy from nine-to-twelve because that's what those scum do to kids.
Probably why Amy has had a few too many drinks on occasion. (Not saying Amy is a good candidate on the D side, either.)

I think this is their desperation. The global left is losing power and right now their money. If they can be denied for another year or so, they will be spent dry in 2028. But they are a wounded animal right now, and perhaps at their most dangerous because there's no downside to risking it all.
Trump 47 has an amazing group of Cabinet officials. And Rubio and Bessent as a team are methodically stripping some of the key avenues for adversaries and enemies to undermine the United States. I hope they have really good protection, because by taking away money and power, they are enraging some truly evil people who have zero moral qualms about anything but their own self-interest.

There's pretty much nothing a slim Dem House majority can do to undo any of the executive's actions (there was never a chance of Dems taking the Senate this year).
If they shut down the government, Trump has authority to direct funds to keep what he deems necessary open (it's the trick Obama used to closed down parks, but applied differently). So, no DOJ, DOT, or DOW operations slow even a moment (DHS is fully funded and appropriated through the end of his term, so they can't do anything about it).
Trump has nearly 2.5 years more to fuck with the left's infrastructure.

Doesn't matter nowadays. Acton claimed reporting to the police, no reports have been found. The person making the assertion is the one that has to prove it. Too many bullshit claims nowadays with no actual proof that something existed and then suddenly going vague on details so they cannot be checked. Cornell 7 floozy tried that but apparently Cornell had the text chain in evidence. That is what you have to do rather than claims.

Whichever party wins the presidency in 2028 controls the 2030 census.
The 2020 was intentionally (and admittedly, by the Bureau itself) messed up, giving at least 6-8 extra seats to Democrat run states over Republican states. They estimated. They didn't count. And the estimates were wrong. Whoops! Whoopsie!
Deport millions. Maybe even not count illegals here. Actually count.
Holy shit, Democrats lose at least 20 if not 30 or more seats in Congress in 2032.

Per the White House fraud task force, DOJ's new National Fraud Division filed yesterday to take back property that was fraudulently bought with food stamp dollars meant for hungry Minnesotans.
Then the speaker turned to the press in the room: "None of your outlets reported it. It took one brave kid and a camera."
That learning center was cited hundreds of times, and the legacy media sat on it for years.
Nick Shirley did their job for free. Now Trump is taking the money back, one city block at a time.

Purely anecdotal but the turnout here in my rural NE Texas county is through the roof. The line yesterday and today was as long as it was for the 2024 presidential election and those ain't democrats standing in line to vote, pretty sure it's that way in most of Texas.
democrats don't even man a station to vote during the primaries in this county. They have to call someone in to open it up if a democrat comes in and wants to vote during the primary.

The BLM riots worked so well in 2020 that months of mail in ballot cheating was enough, Democrats had to shut down ballot counting in six states in the middle of the night to ballot box stuff like Tammany Hall to barely get Biden over the electoral college line.
There was a host of research into the riots of the late 60s and early 70s that showed that Democrats suffered for them at the ballot box because the public's impression was that they were the ones backing it, no matter who was actually in control of the government.

My cats keep catching snakes. I suspect the big tom catches them and the youngest tortie takes them over until I find them and take them back to the hedge.
I think they catch them in the hedge, so we may not have had twenty snakes, just a few recycled ones.

Snakes are beautiful unique creatures and most of what people know about them is wrong. I would of course avoid the poisonous ones -- duh -- but the constrictors are safe and beautiful.
I had a rainbow boa with scales that glittered in the sun like a CGI effect. She (we think it was a she) would climb up and down your arm and the scales were super-smooth. The effect was almost like a massage.

Report: Debanking of Conservatives Was Driven by the KKK-Funding Race Grift Organization the SPLC
A recent report from the Office of the Comptroller of Currency (OCC) in the Treasury Department shows that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) was a driving force behind the debanking of conservative groups prior to its indictment. The SPLC is a left-wing anti-racism advocacy group that has faced scrutiny from conservatives for years over its alleged bias against them and penchant for labeling mainstream political figures on the right as "extremists." ... The Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged the SPLC with allegedly defrauding donors by paying exorbitant sums to members of extremist groups, both to act as informants and to recruit and expand their operations. The SPLC has denied wrongdoing in the case, and said in a statement that "The charges against the SPLC are provably wrong; they are based on inaccurate facts and a misapplication of law. Our informant program was successful in accomplishing its purposes: Threats and attacks were prevented, criminal activity was stopped, and information was gathered to dismantle the efforts of hate and extremist groups." The OCC report, released last week, detailed the efforts of financial applications, banks, and other institutions to deny service to conservative organizations, particularly highlighting the SPLC's role. Many of the groups the report documented had been labeled as hate groups by the organization. Driving much of the effort were broad reputational risk policies that the OCC generally swept up many mainstream conservative groups. "Today's report provides irrefutable evidence that the nation's largest banks have denied, debanked and discriminated against customers and lawful businesses," Comptroller Jonathan Gould said at the time. "Americans should have access to financial services regardless of their beliefs, affiliations, or political views. Fair access to financial services is not a mantra--it is a mandate. The Trump Administration is committed to ending the weaponization of finance against hardworking Americans, once and for all." Among the top findings of the OCC were that banks largely did not have quantifiable standards for determining the reputational risk of maintaining relationships with specific customers. Those standards, moreover, allegedly came to the detriment of generally right-wing groups. The report also documented damage to specific industries that were affected heavily by debanking.

That's a big load of steaming hot chocolate dogshit. The "reputational risk" was always a made-up excuse for naked partisan discrimination for political views. I don't think "reputational risk" exists as a basis to refuse a customer. Every bank that did this should have been prosecuted.
Sure, a bank can refuse to do business with criminals, cartels, terrorists, drug dealers, methodists, and known money-laundering actors. But that requires some prior conviction of a crime, or designation on a terror list, or some very hard evidence of criminality.
A bank can't debank Charlie Kirk because they don't like his views on abortion. But that's basically exactly what the banks did.

🚨 NEW: Inside the Neocons’ Secret Plan to Take the Republican Party Back.
A Republican organizing network backed by liberal foundation money held private meetings where participants discussed how to “retake the local party apparatus.”
A former Soros foundation grantmaker helped advise the effort.
The target was local Republican organizations. Their own report records one participant’s assessment that parties were:
“strong enough to still matter, but weak enough to be taken over.”
Participants in Kansas and Kentucky had already begun developing plans to rebuild local parties.
Johns Hopkins’ SNF Agora Institute and the R Street Institute organized the meetings: private dinners followed by full-day, off-the-record sessions. Rules prevented participants’ statements from being attributed to them individually.
Johns Hopkins named Brad Raffensperger among the project’s architects.
The funding includes:
• $1.85 MILLION from Hewlett for the Civic Right project.
• $500,000 from Carnegie for the Conservative Agenda for Democracy program.

Totally off topic, but you were asking about side planks earlier, right? And worried about your wrists? Without seeing you do them, it’s hard for me to say anything specifically, but in general: make sure your hand is under your shoulder and you are not collapsing down, 2. You are targeting your obliques most strongly, so that is what you need to be dialed into to hold you up, think rainbow arch into the obliques. 3. You don’t need to hold a side plank with feet stacked or floated for a long time, but to get there, start in your high plank with feet wide, open up to the side plank with feet staggered. If you are still struggling, bend and plant the top foot behind the bottom leg, then move to staggered, then move to stacked, then to floating. Once you are good there, add in the other stuff that make it spicier with strength tubes, weights, spinal twists, etc etc.
If it wasn’t you, well…here is how you do a side plank. lol.

I think there's more coming on this as it relates to the energy industries. Any way you slice it, it's discrimination based on political views. A significant number of banks joined these "Net Zero" alliances that resulted in refusing loans (and even accounts) to various (very profitable) energy companies. THIS was a direct violation of their fiduciary duties to their investors. And, arguably, you could say that the discrimination on "climate change" policy was ALSO discrimination based on political views. The Premier of Canada was instrumental in these discriminatory practices. And, he (and those banks) bailed quickly when he was elected.

Sure, a bank can refuse to do business with criminals, cartels, terrorists, drug dealers, methodists, and known money-laundering actors. But that requires some prior conviction of a crime, or designation on a terror list, or some very hard evidence of criminality.
A bank can't debank Charlie Kirk because they don't like his views on abortion. But that's basically exactly what the banks did.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at October 20, 2026 02:30 PM (iFTx/)
I think you are mistaken about what the law is. I believe it is legal for a bank to decide it doesn't want to do business with NAMBLA, for example. Assuming for the moment that NAMBLA isn't actually violating any laws, and only acts as a lobbying group for those that want to make pedo sex legal, a bank can decide that they are just too disgusting to do business with.
They don't get to refuse to do business with people based on race, religion, etc. Maybe the law should be changed to include political views, but that's where we are now.

I think you are mistaken about what the law is. I believe it is legal for a bank to decide it doesn't want to do business with NAMBLA, for example. Assuming for the moment that NAMBLA isn't actually violating any laws, and only acts as a lobbying group for those that want to make pedo sex legal, a bank can decide that they are just too disgusting to do business with.
One of the things the left has been successful at is taking normal rightleaning beliefs, hell normal 2000s era leftwing beliefs, and argue they are so far right wing as to be the same as NAMBLA while at the same time arguing hating on NAMBLA is homophobia.

Successful whistleblowers are entitled to 15% to 30% of the government’s recovery, depending on their involvement and whether the government intervenes. The Act also provides anti-retaliation protections for employees who face discharge, demotion, or harassment for reporting fraud. Common areas of FCA enforcement include healthcare fraud (Medicare/Medicaid), defense contracting, and government procurement.

Rudy is one of the few prosecutors that did that to the Mafia and broke its back. It takes years and you first have to get initial convictions on other crimes to show a pattern of behavior and colluding with others.

Grassley does it better.
He uncovers stuff and releases it with less fanfare. He doesn't have the ability to play for the cameras, so he doesn't.
There's use in investigatory tools of Congress into the executive. It has oversight over the presidency, technically.
But yelling at underlings who can't change policy, which was Gowdy's bread and butter, while passing no legislation to enforce change of behaviors, turned the whole show into farce more than anything else.

Report: DNA Proves Ilhan Omar Married Her Gay Brother
Federal prosecutors are planning to use DNA evidence to try to prove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) committed immigration fraud, as part of the sprawling investigation into the congresswoman, sources told The Post. People familiar with the years-long criminal probe said the feds have made use of whistleblowers, government records and now obtained DNA in an effort to substantiate decade-old allegations that Omar -- and possibly members of her family like her father -- defrauded immigration authorities. One source said the DNA evidence was critical to proving an allegation that Omar married her brother when she wed Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009 because she was trying to help him get a green card -- which never came to fruition.It's unclear whether the DNA was taken before or after Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) searched the congresswoman's home in Washington, DC, last Monday, when federal agents were seen exiting the bungalow with boxes marked "Seized Property Evidence." Another source pushed back on initial reports that investigators had gone "dumpster diving" in order to get DNA swabs of Omar, Elmi, who is currently residing in the UK, or family members. Two more indicated that the execution of the search warrant on Oct. 12, coupled with the DNA and additional evidence, has provided a solid basis to bring charges of conspiracy to commit some form of immigration fraud before a grand jury, stemming from the probe initiated by the Minnesota US Attorney's Office. Given the case is being pursued as a general conspiracy, the evidence will prove useful even if some of the acts fall outside of the statute of limitations. "If you argue a conspiracy, you can allege overt acts in furtherance of the conspiracy that are outside the statute of limitations," said Neama Rahmini, a former federal prosecutor.
Meanwhile, James Comer thinks Ilhan "Omar" might have defrauded "investors" in her "winery." She accepted "investments" in her "winery" -- which I speculate, pretty reasonably, was just an open-secret conduit for illegal political donations -- but the barrels of wine had no wine in them.
Comer continued, "Not only was there a huge discrepancy in the financial disclosure form, there was the winery that was the big base of her $25 million listing on her financial disclosure form." He added, "That winery has, according to the press, been shut down because of fraud. They were apparently selling investors barrels of wine to be aged, but there was nothing in the barrels."Video at the link. I don't know if that constitutes fraud. I think that maybe the barrels wine is aged in are an asset in themselves, so maybe they were buying the barrels for aging wine, but never got around to buying the wine. I mean, I'm 99% sure this business was a fraudulent front for buckraking, but I don't know if empty barrels prove that. Of course there is more fraud than that:
This would explain why the winery suddenly shut down. Omar and Mynett made a killing off a business that either didn't have anything to sell or didn't have as much to sell as it claimed, and then they just shuttered the business and cut their losses, expecting no consequences.
Comer also referred to Omar's numerous connections to the Somali fraud network in Minnesota, including through earmarking taxpayer money for an alleged substance abuse clinic that was actually a fraud scam run out of a restaurant. Omar's sister Sahra Noor likewise seems to be connected both to the $250 million "Feeding Our Future" scam and a USAID fraud scheme. It's all in the family.
Ahem. Five years ago I wrote a column about DNA test results that showed there was a 99.999998 percent chance that Ilhan Omar and her second husband Ahmed Elmi were siblings. A few hours before we went to press my informant was arrested by Biden's FBI. Funny that. https://t.co/MEBWf5U7pv
— Miranda Devine (@mirandadevine) October 20, 2026
WaPo, while attempting to exonerate Ilhan Omar, actually reported some incredibly new, damning information.
Ilhan Omar's second husband - the one alleged to be her brother - applied for a green card, was asked about the marriage, and then withdrew his application.— Will Chamberlain (@willchamberlain) October 16, 2026
OMG
Letters from the USCIS and DHS appear to verify that citizenship records for Ilhan Omar's father DO NOT EXIST. No record of his naturalization exists. Ilhan Omar claimed citizenship through her father. If no record exists, how can she be a U.S. citizen? https://t.co/pFjyLgUXUZ— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) October 19, 2026
Shipwreckedcrew
@shipwreckedcrew The process for denaturalizing a person who is a naturalized citizen -- after having come into the country as a lawful immigrant -- is very difficult, and the evidentiary burden is quite high. But if Ilhan Omar was 18 or older when her father became a naturalized citizen -- or if he never became a naturalized citizen -- they she's an illegal alien now and always has been. SHE claims she had derivative naturalization via her father. That means she never went through the process herself of becoming a naturalized citizen. If she had that would be very simple to document -- every lawful alien has an "A File" and evidence of her naturalization would be in that file. If, as she claims, hers was derivative -- and if she was too old or her father lied to everyone about being naturalized himself -- she's going to get the boot because there is no lawful basis for her to remain.

I wonder if the search this time is to determine Ilhan's true father to prove actual relationships. If she misrepresented herself as a daughter to someone who was not her father the question of whether she was of age or not when she was allowed it is moot.

The FBI wouldn't raid her stinky garbage looking for DNA if they weren't serious and/or didn't think they had anything. They are taking this very seriously, and I think they think they have something.
Whether that turns into anything that actually happens, we'll have to see.

I think you're thinking way to small on the winery. There's a high chance that she was laundering money using "Phantom Shipping." This is not only a common form of trade based money laundering. It is most prevalent in the wine business.

What strikes me as hilarious is how the only reason anyone would ever know about this is because at least one dipshit ordered wine from these cretins, and at least one dipshit who worked for them actually shipped out an empty show-barrel to them, and then Dipshit #1 who didn't even realize the whole thing was a sham cried foul over it.

Read a funny account of a guy that unwittingly walked into a Mafia run pizza joint and ordered a pizza. Gist of it was that the hoods sitting around shooting the breeze were astonished but after a bit of discussion went ahead and baked the guy a pizza. Guy said the pizza was actually pretty good.
Later, he saw in the papers when that place and others were shut down for selling heroin and other nasty drugs and there were multiple arrests.

They don't. Lotsa wineries have empty barrels that they buy and sell from other wineries. You can go online and buy empty barrels.
I think some people are looking at this the wrong way. The fraud wasn't at the point of sale of any wine. Wineries don't sell barrels of wine. This wasn't a scam where fake product was shipped.
This scam was at the investment level. What I think was going on was the winery was soliciting investments in the company from "investors" who were likely really just donors or otherwise trying to curry favor with a US rep.
This is a very common way to launder money and evade financial disclosure. It's much easier, leaves less a paper and evidence trail, and can involve higher-dollar laundering than the old "fake product" scam.

Is that possible? did she go to the passport office and said "oh yea, my father is naturalized." And they just handed out a passport?
Or, has she been going through life with her Somali passport and (I guess) Social Security number we seem to hand out like candy and she never had any document at all.

It's a common practice for wineries to sell whole barrels of a vintage. They do so under custom barrel programs, private-label packages, or wine auctions as well as a number of other programs. I worked a summer at a vineyard and saw it first hand. There's a whole industry of "custom label" application where someone with some throw away income will design their own label and have a vineyard cater to their order (selecting grapes etc.) I'm pretty sure Omar was operating under a botique producer...and they sell barrels over bottles. Some can bring in nearly $15,000 per barrel.

Different level when you do senators.
Imagine Trump 2.0 if he had put Ernst, Murkowski, Cornyn, and Cassidy into cabinet posts, secured replacements from their Republican governors more in alignment with the admin as a whole...and then fired the new cabinet secretaries.
You'd burn a whole lot of bridges doing that (would need buy in from Senate leadership to even hope to pull it off), and you could only ever do it once (no senator would accept the offer again). But, if you pulled it off...magic.

- She was not aging wine. boutique wineries like this do not deal in barrels, they deal in bottles. They buy wine from wineries, pay someone to bottle it, and then they sell bottles. Barrel aging is just not done unless you are growing grapes and making port or sherry or something no one would buy from a fraud office.
- Yet, barrels are nice "decor" and it is possible the empty barrels were for display in the office. A couple mason planks and they make a nice desk or conference table.

What matters most is two things:
Seeing Republican districts turnout to make sure that there isn't depressed turnout on that front.
And, black turnout being down (if South Dallas is any indication, it's very down comparatively).
Democrats can't win statewide if Republicans are actually voting and blacks aren't.
They'd need massively depressed Republican turnout and massively inflated black turnout to have a remote chance.

You get to try someone based on where the crimes were committed. A lot of the financial crimes were committed in Minnesota which has the entire state to draw a jury from. Same for the fraud in immigration--jurisdiction is MN. All DC magistrate did was sign a warrant for her home in DC, not where the cases has to be tried. Normally you go to wherever the evidence is and the local magistrates execute the search warrants on the ground. This was true even regarding Trump. Local magistrate judges issued the Mar a Lago search warrant even though Smith was using a DC grand jury at the time.

It probably did.
But the jury pool in those jurisdictions is contaminated. Ilhan "Omar" is a black, female, Muslim immigrant. How are they going to get an indictment in Washington, D.C., which voted 91% for Kamala Harris in 2024?
If there's a way around that, I'd like to hear it.

Depends where the crime occurred and/or possibly where the effect was felt. If you live in the bluest area in DC but defraud a TX company, and the harm happened in TX, the indictment could be brought in TX.

Yeah liberals punching left. And the right leverage division. The leftists are the future they’re the only ones seeding new grassroots candidates. And if the liberals keeping punching left, and the fascists win, we’re gonna end up with full blown Communism.
Everyone was comprehensively warned of this type of fascist action but the feckless 80M still couldn't be bothered to vote because Gaza or whatever. Utterly shameful and pathetic.
Let’s be serious. If her father lied and said she was 17 instead of 18 (-25 years ago). Do you think that should be cause to denaturalize someone?
This is the exact constitutional abuse that should have the 2 A folks up in arms. Instead they are showing their authoritarian colors. Next time we bring up gun safety laws tell them to shove their idea of the constitution up their asses. Fucking traitors.
Trump goons were saying they had a strong case against the reflecting pool “vandal” too. These people are fucking clowns.

Another reason I think this has legs is that her defenders (i.e., Trump attackers) aren't talking about the merits of this case. They're just throwing the old accusations of fascism and racism and misogyny.
The AWFLs (one of them is black, but functionally white) at Strict Scrutiny whiffed by saying that uh, mumble-whatever about the case, it's (brightening and speaking clearly) VERY BAD OF THE DOJ AND RACIST OF DONALD TRUMP to do these raids and public investigations within 60 days of an election!

No, Narnia is not getting shitcanned.
The exec who greenlit is getting shitcanned (his whole tenure for the last 3 years has been...uneven). The biggest issue regarding his firing is probably David Fincher leaving his contract with Netflix after 10+ years (Lin, the exec, refused the reshoots Fincher wanted and only gave him a fraction of the schedule Fincher asked for).
However, there does seem to be a stoppage on new developments until a new executive team is installed.

These "custom crush" operations are absolutely legit (and probably the best way to make it in the industry as someone who wants a brand- no overhead), but of course can be used fraudulently (which appears to be this case). I know exactly where the operation where they purportedly "produced" is located...
There are many such facilities throughout "wine country" and even in areas far removed from grapes (cities, cities in states without wine grapes, etc). We've shipped grapes across the country for custom crush...
And the custom facilities usually house several to many brands, with varying stages of involvement (from "hands on" owners who will come in and work, to those who buy fruit to have it processed to finished packaging, to "you guys do it all, soup to nuts, and I'll pay for it all"). And all points in between.
