Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - June 10, 2025 [scampydog]

Venice Dive Bar.JPG

Bacaro Jazz, Venice, Italy. Near the Rialto Bridge.

Mystery click inspired by Pete Bog

Good evening and thank you for checking in on the Tuesday, ONT - Dive Bar edition. We have a bit of guest blogging this evening. Scroll down below the fold for the read. We'll see you in the comments - bring your DIVE BAR tales. And wisdom.

*****

Raise a glass and a warm welcome to our Moron friend, Pete Bog. He is back with another round of almost world famous, Bog's Rules. Subject this evening? DIVE BARS! Take it away, Pete Bog.

***

I have been thinking about what constitutes a DIVE BAR! In the pursuit of knowledge, I have an obligation to present my views from a fully informed perspective. To round out my DIVE BAR! observational experience, I elected to study a great treatise on the subject, the movie "Road House." Not the namby pamby remake that I haven't seen but the original 1989 version which contains so much reality that it must be based on a true story about a Dive Bar.

For the three of you who missed this movie the protagonist is a stereotypical bar bouncer. You have seen the type. Dalton, a hulking 5'10" on his tip-toes behemoth, 155 pounds dripping wet. He is so good at his craft as a bar bouncer that he commands a fortune driving to each new gig in his high dollar Mercedes, like a frontier Marshall from days gone by. After accepting the new job, he stashes the hot rod in a picturesque local barn adjacent to a beautiful lake and an unoccupied and tastefully decorated loft apartment. He switches to a barely moving beater which he purchases from a friendly and not at all shady local used car dealer. And then he goes to work at the dive bar as the Head Bouncer. Here is why I know it is reality based. He immediately has conflict with the incompetent incumbent staff. Happens every time.

You can guess where this goes. In a workman's comp related incident, he is referred to the local emergency room where he presents his big five inch "medical" record to impress the smoking hot blonde doctor in a minidress. She swoons, he swoons and does Tai Chi. I cannot recount the number of times this has happened to me. When I open my DIVE BAR! I will certainly make a bouncer trained in classical ballet my first hire.

Push comes to shove, best buddy gets murdered, bad guy bodies stack up, justice prevails. This move has absolutely nothing to do with dive bars. Even the blind musician.

A DIVE BAR! is the earthly manifestation of a Unicorn. Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, their existence can only be established by personal experience, and the qualities necessary to a DIVE BAR! are very difficult to specify. Nonetheless, I will present to you.

Bog's Rules for A DIVE BAR!

1. It must have a Juke Box.

2. The Juke Box must be able to play David Allan Coe's masterpiece "You Never Even Called Me by My Name" which is in fact the greatest Country song ever. As stated by no less authority than David Allan Coe. Depending on the level of intoxication Patsy Cline may be a substitute. In France, La Vie en Rose will not suffice as that would be a Café, only Lily Von Schtupp singing "I'm Tired."

Rules 1 and 2 may be disregarded if the DIVE BAR! has a sand floor and view of the ocean.

***

Thank you, Pete Bog! Laughs per line of content - one for the record book. Well done, Bog.

What say you Horde? What makes a good DIVE BAR!? What is your go to for peanut dust, sticky floors, heavy pours, and people watching?

Shout out to the Coach House on Indian School Road in Old Town Scottsdale, AZ. They've been in business since 1959, and refer to themselves as Scottsdale's Oldest Dive Bar.

Neon signs? Some fun stuff at the link.

Even cooler? Classic beer signs. Tin Over Cardboard (TOC) signs.

One of the most iconic users of tin over cardboard signs were breweries, which began using them for advertising in the late 19th century. These signs, featuring the distinctive designs and became fixtures in taverns, bars, and distributors across the county. During World War II, tin became a valuable resource for the war effort, leading to a decline in the production of tin over cardboard signs. Many existing signs were repurposed or recycled to support the war effort, making surviving examples from this era particularly rare and sought after by collectors. After the war, the golden age of signs began to wane as new advertising mediums such as television and radio gained prominence. Many signs were discarded or replaced with newer materials, contributing to their scarcity today.

Jukebox history. Seeburg, Rock-Ola, Wurlitzer, and more.

Is the jukebox destined for extinction or just a rebirth for a mobile world? Here's a rundown of what really happened in the course of jukebox history.

DIVE BARS!, a jukebox, and raspy/sexy voices go together like grit and charm - rough, but somehow still fuego. Or is it eyeliner at midnight and questionable decisions?

27 There was a bar in Leetonia OH at one time that was nothing more than a small cinder block building, gravel floor, a few chairs and a bar.

Oh yeah, and no doors. Seriously, no doors. After last call, they simply locked up all the beer and liquor, and walked the cash register out. They'd have a 'band' outside sometimes.

What. A. Dump.

I LOVE SOUTH KOREA!

I taught there. Amazing people.

The kids were amazing. I taught at an after school school. Classes ended at 10pm. And then detention.

I stayed one night to try to help a kid in detention. Left at 11pm.

Very nice buses were there to take kids home. I walked back to my apartment. Kids were all over the place. 11pm. Family Mart - kids were filling up on Ramen. Others were hanging out at a small park.

Not to mention my church I found there...

South Korea rules.

34 We used to have a very seedy dive bar just off campus in my town. In the basement of a flower shop. Frequented by drunken college students and alumni (especially during Homecoming and St. Pat's).

You did NOT want to see what that place looked like when the lights were turned all the way up.

Every table was barely held together by spit and a prayer because they were covered with carvings of patrons' names.

Decent burritos for lunch, though. But don't look to closely at them, either.

It's gone now, turned into a four-story student apartment building.

40 A proper dive bar must have the following. Floors that have been swept sometime during the Carter administration. Yes, a juke box, beer signs. Pool cue racks on the wall even if the tables are gone. Lights that used to hang over the now absent pool tables. Waitresses who have sore feet and bad attitudes.
Most importantly, to be a real dive bar, a pay phone on the wall outside the mens room that when it rings someone answers it.

There used to be a Coach House hotel in North Vancouver, B.C., not far from the Second Narrows bridge. Was a peeler bar for a while. Gone, now, I think. That area has been gentrified up the ying-yang, and even the road alignments has changed. I got lost there last year.

51 Ahem, well,

"You Never Even Called Me by My Name" is a song written by Steve Goodman and John Prine. Prine requested to be uncredited on the song, as he thought it was a "goofy, novelty song" and did not want to "offend the country music community". Goodman released the song on his eponymous 1971 debut album Steve Goodman to little acclaim. [Wiki]

The late, great, inimitable Steve Goodman.

52 Best Dive Bar I was ever in (and it’s a shame that it’s all trendy and upscale now) was George’s in Waco. There was even a country album about that bar by Pat Green. In 1980 beers on tap were a quarter, me and my buddies were there a lot.

53 Back in the day, the South Berg on High St. in Columbus had an epic men's room:

First, let me set the stage - the bar was in the basement of a building with the requisite poor lighting and stank of beer, piss, weed, cigs and youth.

The men's room was simply a space with rough troweled concrete on the walls and floor with one, count them, one red clay pipe stuck into the floor. That was it.

I can't remember ever seeing a sink in there. What would you need that for?

- bring your DIVE BAR tales. And wisdom.

Used to party at Luigi's, on Elysian Fields Ave., out by UNO. The Radiators would play live there frequently before they got big-ish.

The floors were sticky, the pool table wasn't level, and the college babes were really into young Bif's super tan (from working 6x12 in the Brown & Root Pipe Yard across the river) and mullet. Them were the days. Overtime kicked in on Thursday before lunch. Net cash flow after taxes was $450 / week. Joined the Army so I'd have a less manual labor intensive job (bwahahahaha) and took a 75% pay cut / month.

Wisdom...uhhhh...don't stand in front of the f-150 sized speakers.

*undelete* the pool tables, and you've described, exactly, one place I used to work. Oh, but we had carpeting... which was torn in a few places (I found a couple of those spots with my high heels )

I'm from a really small farming community. But we had a hotel - strip club on main street. The windows were all covered. Us kids knew something adult was going on...

There's an even smaller farming community nearby. My 90 year old Uncle who passed away in February told me they used to have a strip club there.

I had to ask him. What kind of strippers would come to this small town.

The response. "Pretty ones. No one will pay for ugly strippers."

74 Acapulco, Mexico before the cartels.

I was 16 going into a very sketchy bar with hardpan floors. Tin walls. Beer in bottles only. And one Coke bottler, which I bought.

The comedian was a woman with a bare midriff and a 1.5 inch appendix scar. She was nervous telling Norde Americano jokes after we walked in. She was not attractive, even when I was full of testosterone. The clientele was too drunk to notice us. We left after 20 minutes.

79 Many, many years ago - back when dinosaurs roamed the earth - I took a job with a fledgling software company in Chicago that shared space with Embossograph, Inc., which is the company that designed and made many of those tin-on-cardboard beer signs that you write about. It's long out of business, but they made some really cool displays. As you can imagine, our office decor was pretty dive-bar-y. Ah, the good old days!

Hello my pretty Hordelings.

I love a good Stephen Miller media bitchslap.

Posted by: All Hail Eris,

================

I'm trying to find his bitchslap about these emotional appeals to leave illegal aliens alone if they've been here for 20 years and "paid their taxes, never committed any crimes, and their kid is asking for them" blah-blah. The essence of it was "fuck your feelings" but he was more prime-time-appropriate. Something like emotional responses are beside the point.

102 I don't recall the name of the dive bar I hung around at in my salad days. I might be getting 29.

Had a little sunken dance floor, with bars and barstools along the perimeter so the old guys could leer at the college girls. Shitty loud dance music. Electronic dartboards, frequently triggered by the shitty loud dance music before you threw a dart. Pull-tabs served from a little counter in the corner, run by a woman who was the model for Marge Simpson's sisters.

Drank whiskey-n-cokes, rum-n-cokes, whatever-n-cokes because the bartenders couldn't hear me over the shitty loud dance music. Or they just didn't care.

Old-school bowling alley in the basement. Owned by the same family, I think. It was pretty nice, considering what lived above it.

Speaking of dive bars and porn, there used to be a dive bar across from the port authority that used to have a tv showing legit porn, as Times Square got cleaned up, the porn gave way to sid meyers type fare, then softer movies, now the dive bar is an upscale cocktail lounge where the drinks start at 20 bucks.

The bartendress in a wifebeater and jeans and scraggaly hair comes from behind the bar and says "I've got to tell you, it's illegal to smoke in a bar in California." We said Okay, got it. She... didn't really tell us to leave... and a few minutes later, she was at a table chatting with some other customers, smoking.

So, I landed in South Korea. My first time ever outside of North America.

A gentleman heard me asking a lady at the counter about tipping. He told me there was no tipping in South Korea. I got used to that real fast.

So, a young guy from the hotel shows up and gathers my luggage. We step outside.

I am on the other side of the planet.

I looked up at the sky. The stars.

And the guy with my luggage was long gone.

Came back eventually.

180 For dive bars, I will put Chilkoot Charlie's up against any. Sawdust floors, sit on old beer barrels (seriously dented, usually), something like 17 bars in there, more than one band playing at any time, and a recreation of the Bird House Bar, which, before it burned, had the largest collection of brassieres in the world pinned to the ceiling and walls. And always smelled of stale beer and cig smoke.

I prefer the Tug Bar. Great folks, great food, heavy hand on the drinks, yes, they do know my name. They have an "overboard bloody Mary" on Sunday mornings for $75, you have to order it in advance, and it is well worth the price.

Posted by: tcn in AK at June 10, 2025 10:54 PM (a4NoL)

181 First of all, a true dive bar is old. Probably been around since the 40's or so. Some of the patrons will have been steady customers ever since. The men, older, unshaven. There will be the aroma of age, stale beer, cigarettes, and unwashed ashtrays. The clintele will be consistent, the same people. Very few women, but a couple.

Any varnished wood will be worn raw in spots. Lighting will be marginal. Advertising signs will be old. The bar tender is probably the owner. Don't expect upscale liquors...or Guiness stout.

There's at least an even chance that the place will be named for the owner (or previous owner) Example. - 'Fred's'.

I've spent time in dozens of such, all over the eastern U.S.

Now, we can move on to biker bars, a different genre.

"A dive bar is like porn."

My addendum: "like low budget porn"*

low budget (&/or amateur porn): you can see the shadows of the boom mikes; and often the boom mikes themselves are inadvertently lowered into the scenes. (oops!) The cinematography itself is about as varied as a police custodial interview-- you know what I mean. Two chairs, one on either side of a plexiglass partition.

* gentrified, high budget porn is the same quality as a Hollywood movie. I think a lot of legit film directors make these. Money is money.

195 So there I was, at a bar in Portoroz, Yugoslavia. Around 0500 a brawl erupts. This was during the World Cup Metric Football contest (1990). Scotland had lost a regional match to whomever, and they started hurling bottles and curses. Everyone scampered out of the place, and my buddy and I (we were Army medics) saw a guy run headlong into a chest-high barricade and fall flat on his back. We rushed over, and found that he had been stabbed several times. We began doing what we could what with not having our aid bags with us, since we were on vacation.

Sarge hauls us up by our collars and tells us to get the fuck out of the AO, because cops were arriving. So, we wandered off, cleaned the blood off our hands in a fountain, then waded in the Adriatic sea as the sun rose.

that was a fun trip.

But the end came soon after the Tsunami Party... where there was an earthquake in Alaska, so they sent all the married folks home, and restricted all us single folks to base...

Sooo... being as how we were in a Valley at the tip top of Oahu... I cranked the stereo, pulled out an ice chest of beer... got out my surf board, put on the leash, and sat down in a lawn chair... when folks were coming back from work? 'What ya doin?'... waitin for the Tidal Wave. Big Murph, a friend, got out his dive gear, and sat down beside me...

210 Most infamous dive bar I was ever in was Wolfy’s, in Cory’s Christi. I was training to be an oilfield engineer early in ‘83 and me and some of the other guys and decided to go. 3 stage strip bar, lots of bikers there, we didn’t know why. We knew we were out of place when one of the girls walked up to us and “y’all must either be cops or engineers, standin’ there like you don’t know what to do next.” We stayed there about an hour but were real fish out of water, luckily nobody paid much attention to us.
A year later I was reading an expose on big biker gangs in the US, and read “The Bandidos, believed to be the most powerful gang in the southwest, and rumored to operate out of their HQ at Wolfy’s Bar in Corpus Christi…”

Koots was more fun in the 1970's, certainly. I lived about two blocks from there in the 80's, and it had calmed down a bit but was still plenty jumpy on weekends.

I think they were hanging out at the Carousel until the owner kicked them out. Dude must have balls of steel. I don't know where the Angels go to drink nowadays.

216 Best dive bar ever for me was "Popeyes" in Yokosuka, Japan. All Gomi (2nd hand throwaway) furniture. A pool table with more curves than Christina Hendricks. $5 Blue Chu-hais and Rum and Cokes that were all Rum and a splash of Coke - don't drink more than two, trust me I tried. A fight or three every night. Hard Rock on the speakers.

The Navy then (early 90s) had three Shore Patrol areas in the Honch (Honshu Yokosuka) - the two blocks to the left of the road out of the main gate, the first two blocks the the right, and...Popeyes alone was the third.

219 Me and a couple of buddies were off duty, after a long day of kicking commie butt in Central America. (long story).

Having departed one seedy bar after a syphilitic whore and her pimp started paying too much attention to us, we were headed towards home when we spotted an open door.

Inside the door were a few tables and chairs, a bar made of a couple of planks across some tall sawhorses, and a refrigerator full of beer.

We were starting to put a dent in the beer supply, when the fluent Spanish-speaker in our group urgently said, "Guys, lets get out of here! The bartender just asked me to take him home with me!"

That was when we finally noticed the place was filled with nothing but men. Manly men. Who looked like they'd want to do manly things in the manner of men. We had somehow stumbled into the only gay bar in Honduras.

We beat a hasty retreat and slogged home in a tropical downpour, with water over our ankles.

When I was a pup they had dancers old enough to be my mom. Or even grandmother.

Pretty laidback place, though. Not nearly as high-pressure as the Bush Company or any of the others.

I recall when some friends of mine went to the opening of a new club called "The Gay '90s".

"You do understand that this is a gay bar and the strippers are men, right?"

"Nah... the girls just dress up like saloon girls from the Gold Rush days."

Guess who was right. Heh.

The Zonies (Americans who worked at the canal zone, many for generations) gathered there after work for a quick dive or boat ride before sunset, and tradition was that five minutes before the sun lowered into the Pacific, you got your order in so you could raise a glass to surviving another day. I recall the mai tais were pretty good. I have no idea if there was a juke box, but plenty of folks made up for with their own, special renditions of beloved favorites. Volume made up for quality.

Remember Ceil down at the Bore Tide (and numerous other dives)? She was spectacular. Nice lady, too.

It turns out, the place was owned by The Fraternal Order of Police. It was situated right next to a prison. So, the regulars were retired cops and off duty prison guards.

Great darts. Cheap beer. Great conversations (story telling mostly). Everyone in the joint was packing, so there was rarely any trouble. National Bohemian Beer on tap.

256 Dive bars: my hometown had a bunch of them, that I never ventured into. I wanted to live. My hometown could be a bit clannish. I've been to a few around military bases. There were a few around MacDill AFB that I, sort of, remember. Ricks, The Warehouse, and one other that i can remember where its at (along Bayshore Blvd, a few blocks from the base). All were, well, dives. Nothing stands out except The Warehouse, which was an obvious front for criminal organizations. Beer was cheap and the in house band was good, so it had that going for it. Don't use the bathroom. A toxic hazard. Just piss in the back somewhere. Watch out for drug deals and gang hits. Rick's had a good in house band. I'm going from memory and this was over 25 years ago. I'm sure much has changed.

263 It wasn’t a dive bar, but about six blocks from my family’s last Chicago apartment was KayZee’s Bar. 66th and Kedzie in Chicago Lawn. This was 1962-65. The folks would stop in on weekends to have a few beers and watch the Cubs get slaughtered. Jack Brickhouse announcing. Hamm’s Bear, um, Beer commercials. Nobody, staff or the crowd at the bar, cared if the kids were there too as long as they didn’t get in the way, so the folks would be at the bar and we’d be off in a booth over cokes and comic books. The bartender was a friend of my parents and if it was a Saturday night after he finished his shift we all went to his place across the street from the bar and the adults would play penny-ante poker while his kids and my sister and I watched the Saturday night monster movies on Channel 5.
Gone now, the place and the people and I miss ‘em all. The building is still there but it’s been a Mexican restaurant for years. Not a dive, and not really anything special. But the thread about bars reminded me of it, so I thought I’d toss in a comment.

268 There were a couple of Anchorage bars in the '80s that were always running specials like "nickel beers" and "25 cent drinks". I mean constantly. Like, every night.

Most people couldn't figure out how they stayed in business. Me, I soon figured out that they were laundering money. "See, Mr. IRS Dude? We sell beers for $2 each, and here are our receipts for ordering fifty million kegs of beer from the wholesaler. So that explains how we're making $100,000 per night." Never mind that most of the beers went out the door for $0.05...

Naturally, the places were always packed.

275 I was born in Brooklyn in 1955. There were 60,000 Norwegians in Bay Ridge and hundreds of thousands of Irish. There were many dive bars on 5th and 8th Avenue. Many men here from Ireland or Norway working in the trades with their families in the Old Country. The men sent $$ home to their families, but lots of them hung out in the bars.

In those days mostly before air conditioning, the bars had screen doors in summer and every place smelled the same from the street. Stale beer and cigarettes made up most of the fragrance.

There's one like that on Saint Martin, too. "Juggie's Place." All outdoor seating; the "bar" part is a corner of the stockroom for the same-named Caribbean-tourist-junk shop.

It's on Yelp, but it only has one review, but it's 5 stars, so I don't know if it counts as a dive bar or not.

315 >> Publius - are you online? Moon is pretty impressive at this location.

I noticed the sunset location varies several degrees depending on the season.

-----------

Tonight is full Moon, the Strawberry Moon (last full Moon of astronomical spring, or June full Moon, depending on which convention you prefer). It's also a major lunistice peak. Tonight's full Moon (07:43Z, 03:43AM EDT), will be about the lowest in can be over the horizon at meridian. That's 26.5 degrees here, which also means the Moon rises and sets about as far south as it can ever.

Yep, sunrise and set angle vary with the seasons, which depends on Sol's declination. The angle the ecliptic makes with the horizon and sunset and sunrise determines timing of twilight and how fast it gains altitude.

321 My city had 3 excellent dives before gentrification in the '00s.
Two on the second floor, one in a basement.
Tile floors, plastic walls, loooong bars with the same 3 beer taps every 4ft and staircases so narrow you're rubbing navels with whatever man is going there other way. Jukebox and multiple pool tables, of course. Wine was "red" or "white" and came out of a box on the shelf.
One was the only 24hr bar at the time, so it was popular with returning sailors and there was always this one midget in there and he would reliably pick a fight with any Pacific Islanders who walked in.
The other one was frequented by the emotionally busted office clerks drowning their sorrows before heading back to whatever 8x10 cell he could afford after the divorce.
Both were places to walk in, park up, and drink with your change sitting on the bar in front of you next to the ashtray ready to pay for the next beer. The closest thing to conversation was yes to the bartender asking "another one?" or no to whatever lonely drunk imagined someone else might care about him and his problems. Just "no".
The downstairs dive was rowdy.
Good times.
I'd clean forgotten about them until tonight.

If you want to see the exact topocentric coordinates of all this at your exact location, use timeanddate.com with a URL in the form:
"www.timeanddate.com/sun/@lat, long" where lat and long are your exact coordinates. Use 6 or 7 decimal places for good accuracy.

Now, that's the sunrise/set/noon page. Click on the Moon pages and the others and you'll see all sorts of info. It will give rise and set azimuth and all that for every day of the year.

Live music on occasion, Tommy Miller was a local fixture, and quite good actually. Totally packed wall to wall on weekends, an eclectic mix of locals, surfers, trustafarian hippies, shady characters, and military personnel enjoying their scarce time off.

Itaewon, or downtown had the Seoul Pub, an English style establishment run by a German ex-pat with Australian citizenship named Guenther. Had Guiness on tap, and bangers and beans and a few other gustatory accouterments that were pretty rare for South Korea. Prices weren’t too bad. My buddy complained that Guenther wouldn’t offer favorable exchange rates when converting dollars to won, he noted the bank just down the street had better rates.

“Yes, but zee bank vill not surf you a bier” was his retort. LOL

It was cloudy at sunset/moonrise tonight, and I couldn't see the Moon rising so far south. I can see it now, through some clouds obscuring it a bit.

This is lowest a full Moon can be within less than a degree, maybe 1/2 degree. The Moon's lowest declination will be tomorrow around 8PM, so tomorrow's culmination will be at 26.1 degrees, lower than tonight by 0.4 degrees, and still looking pretty full.

To appear at the lowest possible, you'd have to have full Moon appear directly on the June solstice, and the declination minimum happen exactly then as well (within a few hours). We're getting about as close to that now as we ever get.

330 Elon Musk retweeted Robert Scoble@Scobleizer

Unlike other automonous vehicle companies, @Tesla had its customers:

1. Pay for the R&D.
2. Pay for the cars.
3. Do the AI training.

The world is about to change deeply.

I've been doing a bunch of consumer research by interviewing customers of @waymo (a competitor).

They almost universally tell me:

1. They don't want to own a car anymore.
2. They don't want to drive anymore.
3. They don't want to take Uber anymore.

And Tesla can underprice Waymo AND provide a better experience to boot. Oh, and because @elonmusk got us to pay already the Tesla network will be profitable almost from the start.

Why did I do that research?

Early adopters tell me how everyone else will behave I've learned many times in my career.

336 The ONT has outdone itself tonight!

Rainier Beer, aka Vitamin R, the elixir of my youth and college days. The brand bounced around different ownerships after the original Rainier brewery in the Georgetown neighborhood was sold to Heilman and then to the current owners, Pabst, but the good news is that it has gotten popular again with the college crowd and working man.
Sadly, however, I was told just last week that Henry Weinhard's is no more. The first "craft" beer I remember, from Portland, Oregon, was indeed a legend.
But as the beer is but a memory, as was the city it came from. Once a fantastic place to visit or live, Portland, for all intents and purposes, is now gone, too. Leftism is an evil bitch.

337 Thanks, Publius. A simple though neat camping trick I learned from Colin Fletcher, shoot the azimuth of the sunrise with your compass and write it down.

Armed with this info, one can locate a tent (or whatever) to take advantage of early sunshine rays in winter. Or, alternatively maybe one might want to take advantage of maximum shade in the summer and sleep in a bit. Can even lay sleeping bag down aligned in the long shadow of a tree trunk or rock, that kind of thing.

I highly recommend the desktop version of Stellarium, if you're interested in all this. It will display more information than you can shake a stick out. You can have it project the ecliptic, equator, hour angle circles, invariable plane and all that on the sky view. There you can see how the angle and altitude of the ecliptic vary over the day.

You can get a good handle on how things behave seasonally from that.

368 Remember when "generic" everything was A Thing? When we lived in Springfield (OR), then-hubby would buy 'Beer' beer, in the plain black n white packaging. Lucky Lager in disguise! Had the puzzles on underside of the caps.

We'd save the caps for when we had friends over, see who could solve theirs first & stuff like that. Fun!

Dad would bring home Lucky Lager, in the stubby bottles, for years. IIRC it was brewed in Vancouver, WA. Then one time, he suddenly changed to Heidelberg in the keg bottle, and that was his beer of choice every evening after a hard and long, blue collar day. Brewed by Carling Brewery, Tacoma, WA.
He would buy Rainier once in a while, it was usually during a summer neighborhood gathering, like Memorial or Labor Day, or 4th of July.
It was strange at our house when I was growing up that sometimes a beer or two in our refrigerator would simply disappear, about the time when I turned about 14 or 15. It never happened when dad first got home after a long day and cracked the first one, it seemed to happen when he would fall asleep in his chair after having 4 or 5 and finishing dinner. And they would collect in the old refer in the garage, hidden behind the cans of pop and other things mom kept in there.
To this day, it's a mystery.

I was today years old, when I learned there was a name for those things!

When I was little, would watch Concentration-- a game show-- hosted by (iirc) Alex Trebek.

After matching pairs of rectangles (that covered the whole puzzle) to uncover bits at a time, the winner would solve the puzzle if s/he could with the least amount of parts uncovered. I think. Been a looonnng time...not sure what the rules were.

On the ride to Lake Tapps in the mid 70's to take a spin in somebody's dad's ski boat, we would stop at the little Lake Tapps store on the back side of the lake and buy Columbia beer, 99 cents a six of cans.
It tasted horrible, but as college students, we found as long as you put enough ice in the cooler, it wasn't bad as long as you drank it fast enough. The savings on beer went to pay for gas for the ski boat.

398 Well, the Zip van has a seat now. Looked simple, going in. "Hey! Find a piece of steel plate 14" by 12", drill four holes, weld it to piece of pipe that can slip into the existing pipe stanchion on the floor. What could go wrong?"

First, I needed a piece of steel plate. Had to liberate that from a welded-up bracket no longer needed for its original use. Break out the plasma cutter. And the angle grinder. OK, I have a sturdy plate. Lay out and drill four holes for the studs on the seat slides. Did it wrong. Twice! Ended up slotting the holes. OK, it fits the seat slides. Wut?? The seat slides don't slide. Somebody had welded blocks on them to prevent them from sliding. Cut those off. Then had to oil up the slides. and work them a whole lot to make them free again. Welded a piece of pipe onto the plate, made it an inch off-center fore/aft, so that I would an option to get fore-aft seat slide travel in range. Seat is in place, and looks like it belongs there, but it did come out of a Brand X step van.

403 I deleted Photoshop CS6 from my old PC and installed in on my new PC. So far so good. When I start up PS I get an error that asserts that I exceeded my activation limit and that I need to log into my Adobe account and deactivate one or more machines. Alright, totally reasonable. When I log in to do that the Adobe Activation server says I have no active devices.

Winner, winner, winner, I am a winner. Damn.

After some internet searching and fussing around on the Adobe I site I end up with Adobe's AI chatbot that promptly directs me to the deactivation page. And when I tell it I need an activation reset it promptly drained all my bank accounts. Quite an escalation but it happens.

Tomorrow my day is cleared out so I can spend hours on the Adobe support line. I am pretty sure the conversation is going start with Adobe telling me they don't support CS6 with me going this is not a CS6 issue with Adobe going but this issue is related to so CS6, so piss off, wash, rinse repeat.

Finally, the AI chat box has disclaimer on it that notes it is known to make crap up and lie to you and anything it tells you is up to you to decide if it is lying. Alright.

Another time I bought a "limited edition t-shirt" and sent it off to the boy spawn. When he went there the first time I made him wear the shirt. She recognized it in a hot second.

439 Yeah, I grew up in Texas and the legal age for drinking was 18. (I don't know what it is now, I know MADD had a lot of laws changed back in the day) Anyway, before I turned 18 it was easy to get beer. We would just hang around outside a store and give an older customer some money to buy the beer for us. Never had anyone rip us off. They always came back to give us our beer.

441 Cars no longer represent the romance they once did. Bucket seats helped that. No more riding around with arm around your girl. Posted by: Braenyard

Plus bucket seats are dangerous. A guy here Las Cruces was getting pleasured by his GF while cruising around town. Things got, um, highly emotional, and the guy crashed the car at high speed. She got killed when the console shifter crushed in her head. He got 5 years to add to the misery.

Story. First time I purchased beer was in Regis, MT. Asked for a couple of cases - purchased from an off-sale bar. Bartender charged me double. I said, "That's a bit expensive." He said, "You want the beer or not." I handed over the money.

Well, "high loon" was at 1:20AM EDT. Meridian, transit, culmination. That's the lowest full Moon I'll see for 18.6 years. In half that, 9.3 years, it will be at the minor lunistice peak, and the solstice full Moon will be close to the highest it will ever be.

451 Those art deco urinals in the picture are from a bar formerly known as "Stasiu's" in Minneapolis. I lived across the street in the 80s, and it was a true dive bar. You went there to get drunk. Period. Socializing was purely optional. The bar has since been remodeled into a Yuppie bar called "Stanley's" (Stasiu is Polish for Stanley), but they kept the urinals.

Ballantine's India Pale Ale (the original IPA) featured those rebus puzzles under their caps, too.

Kash Patel: “I literally just got off the phone with the Indian government… I said, I need your help.”

Patel confirmed that the FBI and Indian authorities are now working together in a coordinated crackdown on the illicit drug trade.

Tonight, the full Strawberry Moon is on the rise, with the moment of syzygy at 07:43 Zulu this morning, or 3:43AM EDT.

This is the peak of the major lunistice cycle, when the Moon's equatorial orbital inclination is greatest. This varies over an 18.6 year nodal precession cycle, and produces a range of equatorial inclination of 18.3 to 28.6 degrees. Thus, the Moon can appear 5.1 degrees higher or lower than the sun. The "sub-lunar" point varies accordingly.

At any rate, the full Moon tonight is going to be the lowest on the horizon that it can appear, and rise and set about as far south as it can. This varies with your latitude and longitude, but it will be minimum it can ever be for your location.

Cats get stressed very easy. They exhibit hiding and lethargic behavior as a result. She might want to hide under a bed or behind a couch.

Just make sure she knows where the litter box is, food and water and give her time. She'll be fine as long as she starts eating and drinking. Put her stuff near her and give her space to get some nourishment.

Sleeping and resting a lot is about 85% of a cat's existence, as far as I can tell. The other 15%, mine is desperate to get outside, but it seems that yours has been through some trauma and she's probably glad to be home where it's warm and dry and food is available.

I took in a stray cat who had been living feral for a while, turned out she was a rescue who got chased off by the cats already in the home.
I lured her indoors with food and left the door open all summer, and she never left the house.
It turned out she belonged to a house two doors down so I arranged with the lady to keep her and I renamed the cat Chloe.
Chloe didn't take a step outside for a year.

147 Cats get stressed very easy. They exhibit hiding and lethargic behavior as a result. She might want to hide under a bed or behind a couch.

Just make sure she knows where the litter box is, food and water and give her time. She'll be fine as long as she starts eating and drinking. Put her stuff near her and give her space to get some nourishment.

Thank you.

She always gets tons of food here. She did sleep with me at points last night. Her and the dog Ralphy are fine. She's actually been cuddling up to him.

I'm not sure what's happening long term. Not my cat.

Feed her up, if she isn't eating check her mouth for bad teeth or injuries. Check if she is drooling badly, smell for bad breath. Check for limping or cringing if you pet her, check her neck and chest. and then her back and flanks for scabs. Look for soft lumps, those could be abscesses. Check her feet and legs for tenderness. Touch her nose on your cheek to feel if she has a fever, it should be cool.
Put your ear on her side to listen to her breathing for rattles or wheezes.
Check her scat in the litterbox to see if it is firm or diarrhea.
If she is still lo-rez after a week, consider a check up at the vet's.

Cats are stoic and won't display pain like a dog.

My friends left the country. I helped them a lot. I was the amazing friend. We'll take turns.

233 Feed her up, if she isn't eating check her mouth for bad teeth or injuries. Check if she is drooling badly, smell for bad breath. Check for limping or cringing if you pet her, check her neck and chest. and then her back and flanks for scabs. Look for soft lumps, those could be abscesses. Check her feet and legs for tenderness. Touch her nose on your cheek to feel if she has a fever, it should be cool.
Put your ear on her side to listen to her breathing for rattles or wheezes.
Check her scat in the litterbox to see if it is firm or diarrhea.
If she is still lo-rez after a week, consider a check up at the vet's.

I stayed one night to try to help a kid in detention. Left at 11pm.

Very nice buses were there to take kids home. I walked back to my apartment. Kids were all over the place. 11pm. Family Mart - kids were filling up on Ramen. Others were hanging out at a small park.

Not to mention my church I found there...

Democrats' New Effort to Outreach to Male Voters Features the Head of the DNC Whining and Crying That Fembot David Hogg Is Being Too Mean to Him

This is from yesterday but the Democrat-Media Party riots pushed it down the priority list.

There is leaked audio from a Zoom call between Democrat National Committee head Ken Martin and DNC Vice Chair for Choad Inspection David Hogg.

Ken Martin is nearly in tears -- or actually in tears --as he complains that David Hogg is making his job too hard and that David Hogg isn't Positioning Him For Success.

Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin told party leaders in a recent private conversation that he's unsure about his ability to lead the party because of infighting created by Vice Chair David Hogg.

"I'll be very honest with you, for the first time in my 100 days on this job ... the other night I said to myself for the first time, I don't know if I wanna do this anymore," he said in a May 15 Zoom meeting of DNC officers, according to a recording obtained by POLITICO.

In the recording, an emotional Martin describes being deeply frustrated by the fallout over Hogg, who has ignited a firestorm in the party by vowing to spend $20 million in safe-blue primaries to oust incumbent Democrats he believes are ineffective. Martin paused twice while appearing to choke up.

The intraparty feud, Martin said on the recording, is making it more difficult for the party to do its work -- and had ruined his ability to demonstrate leadership.

"No one knows who the hell I am, right? I'm trying to get my sea legs underneath of me and actually develop any amount of credibility so I can go out there and raise the money and do the job I need to to put ourselves in a position to win," Martin said, addressing Hogg. "And again, I don't think you intended this, but you essentially destroyed any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to. So it's really frustrating."

It was an extraordinary admission from the chair of the Democratic Party, just a few months after being elected to lead the party through its post-2024 crisis. The nearly two-minute clip does not include the entire conversation, including how Hogg and others may have responded to Martin.

Asked for an interview, Martin, 51, sent a statement through a spokesperson. In it, he said, "I'm not going anywhere."

...

Asked for comment, party leaders rallied behind Martin, expressing confidence in his leadership.

In a statement, DNC Associate Chair Shasti Conrad, who attended the Zoom meeting and was briefly mentioned on it, said Martin "showed vulnerability in a private conversation" and "stood up" for the Democratic Party.

"He shows up with authenticity. Always," she said. "That's what you'll hear on the tape."

He's an authentic pussy. Perfect representative of the Democrat Masculine Ideal.

I took an old Buzzfeed quiz titled "Which Sex & the City Character Are You?" I was hoping for Samantha, but I got "DNC Head Ken Martin." I didn't even know he was on the show.

I think AI took over the quiz to call me a f&ggot.


Unrelated: At Fort Bragg, Trump said the DOD will revert all the military bases back to their Pre George Floyd Riots names.

Then he said the United States armed forces did not defeat Germany and the Soviet Union just to allow foreign invaders to burn our cities to the ground.

The Vigilant Fox
@VigilantFox

BREAKING: Trump tells Fort Bragg troops their fallen brothers didn't die so LA could burn at the hands of "third world lawlessness."

President Trump addressed the chaos in California head-on in a fiery speech at Fort Bragg--and the place ignited.

"Before going further and want to say a few words about the situation in Los Angeles, California. Have you heard of the place?"

"Where I've deployed thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines to protect federal law enforcement from the attacks of a vicious and violent mob and some of the radical left."

"They say that's not nice, well if we didn't do it, there wouldn't be a Los Angeles--it would be burning today, just like the houses were burning a number of months ago."

Then he delivered the moment that brought the house down:

"Generations of army heroes did not shed their blood on distant shores only to watch our country be destroyed by invasion and third world lawlessness here at home, like is happening in California."

"As commander in chief I will not let that happen. It's never going to happen."

If he had rounded up every Clinton Nat Sec official and hanged them on 9/12 and then launched a real war on the jihadis not only would most of those fallen servicemen still be alive we wouldn't have 40M southern invaders burning our cities right now

This is correct. I knew it was all a mistake when Abu Ghraib broke. That story was pushed by that guy who was "most decorated soldier ever" or whatever with the help of his Leftist girlfriend. They were willing to undo the American war effort for some money/political points.

I said then, I say now, a country that does not want to survive, won't.

As a country we still are not committed to our own survival. Do we have the will to send crying mommies home? Do we have the will to take the people buying bricks for "peaceful protesters" down for criminal conspiracy? So far, no.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at June 10, 2025 06:46 PM (nWhjA)

When I was on a small island here in Spring 2016 defending Trump I got asked why I even believed he would be a great President. I said it was because he loved America - and of course got laughed at - but he did. I said at *worst* he would be an 80's type Democrat, which were people who genuinely loved the country and wanted it strong. I don't mean elected Democrat. They've been commies forever.

I don't have a problem with the idea of the invasion, even in hindsight. Saddam needed killing, and Iraq was an indirect but correct reaction to 9/11.

The problem is that after we dragged the cocksucker out of his spiderhole, that pussy Colin Powell jumped in with his stupid "you break it, you bought it" doctrine and had us stick around and try to fix the country. Bad move. Every bit of American blood after Saddam was captured is on his hands.

When Donald was a boy he started working for his father who was already a pretty wealthy real estate guy. I remember reading an article during the 2016 election that was original written years ago about his first job which was to maintain the tenant laundery machines in his father's apartment buildings.

They interviewed some of the tenants who had lived in the buildings at the time, many of them elderly, Jewish people, and they all praised young Donald as a very friendly and helpful young man who went out of his way to make sure everything was right for the tenants. Trump was born wealthy and these were very middle class people. I don't think it's an act, he was raised right.

Illegals do pay sales tax. And the ones with stolen identities (or who were given SSNs by the government) probably pay some nominal income tax that all gets returned through the EITC and other carve-outs.

But illegals do not pay in more than they take out. If they did, we wouldn't have any illegals.

Trump's mother was born into grinding poverty in Scotland. When she came (legally) to America, she started as a cleaner and housekeeper in a hotel in New York.

Yup. You *can* remake a civilization at swordpoint, but you have to slaughter a *lot* of fighting-age men to do it. The more alien the culture you are trying to conquer, the more slaughter it takes. A third is the minimum for a war between aliens. You have to not only defeat them, but destroy their culture by killing literally *everyone* who can fight for it and wiping out an entire generation, which amount to a large plurality or outright majority of males aged about 13 to about about 25. Slaughter the men, take the best of their women for wives and remake it in your own image under ruthless control for the next few generations.

It can be done, but the blood cost is astronomical - and there is no short cut. If you're not prepared to do that - and virtually nobody is, even if the capability is there - then don't talk about "nation building." Just kill people and break things until they back off, then go home. Then do it again every generation. That's the alternative.

@CollinRugg

BREAKING: Terry Moran is out at ABC News, according to CNN's Brian Stelter.

ABC News, the same outlet that rigged the debate against Trump before the 2024 election, accused Moran of not being "fair."

"We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post, which was a clear violation of ABC News policies, we have made the decision to not renew."

"At ABC News, we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness, and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism."

Laughable. Moran was a perfect representation of ABC News. He should not have been fired.

Fox confirms the story.

41 I laugh when I think of how Conservatives complained Terry Moran wasn't being fair, and liberals defended him.

Here's the funny thing - I don't think trump is very conservative, he's transactional. He does what the people who voted for him want, and fuck everyone else. If progressives were less hostile toward him, he no doubt would be a lot nicer to them. But progressives can't play nice, and Trump isn't someone who lets water roll off his back.

And get this - he's a fucking professional troller. He will troll your stupid ass, find every flaw you have, and exploit it. This guy spent decades building skyscrapers in Manhattan. He knows every trick.

Not at all. Something that is worthless is irrelevant. It has no value, neither positive or negative. A blackened crumb that falls off your toast is worthless. It isn't something you want, but it also does you no harm. It just sits there. You can leave it on your plate or brush it into the wastebasket or let it fall to the floor and, on balance, your life is exactly the same regardless of which route you choose. There is no value and no harm. It's just a breadcrumb.

If the GOP were merely worthless, it would be much better than it is. But it sadly *isn't* worthless. It does actual harm while lying to the rubes about its ambitions and motivations. If they just sad in their offices eating their salaries and otherwise doing nothing, we'd better off than we are with them doing things.

This brings me to a point I've been pondering a while now: the left needs a reformation. I would argue HAD their reformation, becoming more radicalized and fundamentalist. But the left needs their reformation to cool down and cut out their leftist loons.

The left is a religion on all but name. They have their demented, evil versions of origins, morality, deity, law, blasphemy, sacraments, doctrine, and order of worship. But they are taken over by the screaming freaky extremists, their worst, and least sane extreme. They have to reform so they can purge this influence and get back to their origins of rights, freedom, compassion, care for the poor, and upholding the downtrodden.

While it is doubtlessly great stuff for their insane (and apparently diminishing) base, it is quite the opposite for everyone else.

The Dems are insane or stupid enough to think that this kind of thing *improves* their support. But it doesn't. Black-clad street warriors riding motorcycles through burning blocks while waving foreign flags like some kind of Mad Max wasteland while the governor sues in an attempt to force the president to restore disorder does *not* play well in Peoria.

No, not the same. But still a borderline unprecedented move. As I said up there somewhere, last year there would have been no response at all and he'd be renewed. Two years ago, ABC would have given him a raise.

In time they will (maybe) perfect the AI bot with the perfect body "news" reader, and as much nipple showing through as possible, without being pure porn. Kinda like those hot foreign weather gals ... but The News.

It does seem true that hot bodied females get more views than (maybe more informed and resourceful) average males. ShoeOnHead, Megyn, TeaParty gun girl from St Louis (hmmm, can't remember her name), so many get views for being (kinda) hot babes. And I'm OK with that, but also want nerdy average guys that bring the Real Facts.

His base. Talking with Trump is like fornicating with the devil. Unless you can demonstrate that you put him in his place and humiliated him, better to say you didn't talk to him at all. And since the nightly news probably isn't going to cover the evidence to the contrary, the people you're lying to aren't even going to notice.

That kind of obvious lie is for the true believers, to make them more passionate. It isn't for the normals.

Entirely possible. When the "Speaking With American Men" thing broke a couple of weeks ago, one of the pieces of commentary was from a Dem strategist who didn't like it because she thought that base wanted more unhinged insanity, not less.

And she is probably right. The Dem base is increasingly insane. It's also diminishing, but getting more and more radical. And Karen - who is the heart and soul of the Party - does *not* want a phony "return to the center" or any such nonsense, she wants more molotov cocktails and derangement.

If things go like they have been, Newsom may well be able to make himself the shoe-in for the nomination. He'll lose 40 states, but he'll gallop of the nomination finish line. It comes down to whether any of the spooky bastards at the top have the will to prevent Newsom or someone like him from taking the nomination and leading them to electoral disaster.

Pro-Palestinian activists dressed as Hamas terrorists reenacted the October 7 Massacre in central Brussels during the third annual Samidoun-organized "Resistance Festival," which ran from June 6 to Sunday, June 8.

Videos from the event show masked men in keffiyehs and army fatigues pointing prop guns, while other actors play dead bodies heaped on the floor. When the men playing Hamas terrorists see that everyone is dead, they put their arms around one another and raise their hands in victory. Fake blood is also seen in the video.

The re-enactment, accompanied by music and a voice-over about “From the river to the sea,” was met with whoops, cheers, and applause from the audience.

Coincidentally, I'm doing a re-watch of The Wire. I'm about half way through the 5th season, where the Baltimore Sun is flailing about like a ling cod on a trawler deck due to the money drying up, has about 4 real reporters, and the rest are a bunch of hacks, lead by unethical douchecanoe editors as they chase a Pulitzer based on a lie.

This season of The Wire is the comedy season...

250 225 212 f things go like they have been, Newsom may well be able to make himself the shoe-in for the nomination. He'll lose 40 states, but he'll gallop of the nomination finish line. It comes down to whether any of the spooky bastards at the top have the will to prevent Newsom or someone like him from taking the nomination and leading them to electoral disaster.

I have no idea who the '28 Democrat nominee will be. It won't be a crazy socialist or hard-core Leftist (BIRM), though. If the Democrat powers-that-be didn't want Bernie in '16 or '20, nor Fauxcahontas or Mayor Buttplug in '20, I doubt the DNC will clear the field for AOC, Newsom, Mayor Buttplug, Harris, or any other communist in '28.

Trump: If Los Angeles or California Enters a State of Insurrection, I Will Put It Down

Yes, please do.


President Trump on Tuesday made clear he's considering stronger federal intervention in response to violent demonstrations in Los Angeles, sparked by a wave of federal immigration enforcement raids. While not committing to action, Trump said invoking the Insurrection Act remained an option if the violence escalates.

Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump detailed what he described as "terrible" scenes from the previous evening, alleging that rioters had ripped up sections of concrete from the streets and hurled them at law enforcement vehicles. "If we didn't get involved, right now, Los Angeles would be burning," he said.

The president has already drawn criticism from California Democrats for authorizing the National Guard's deployment to Los Angeles without the governor's consent. But Trump defended the move and hinted that further steps--including the use of federal troops--may be necessary.

The Insurrection Act, first passed in 1807, gives the president legal authority to deploy U.S. military forces domestically to address insurrections or large-scale civil disturbances. Trump used the threat of the Act during the "Summer of Love" riots in 2020, and on Tuesday, he suggested similar conditions may be developing in Los Angeles.

Don't tell the New York Times: Right now, there's a Conspiracy Theory that lefties are ordering full-face masks so that their street paramilitaries can fight the police even after tear gas has been deployed.

The "evidence" for this conspiracy theory is photographs and videotape of the antifa riot masks being delivered. In other words -- more RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION AI CHEAPFAKES!

Communist "mayor" and Frequent Cuba Tourist Karen Bass says the only way to defeat antifa terrorism is to obey each and every demand made by antifa terrorists:

JD Vance bodied flamboyantly incompetent governor Gavin Newsom:


JD Vance
@JDVance

Gavin Newsom says he didn't have a problem until Trump got involved. Both of these photos were taken before the president authorized the national guard to go protect our border patrol in California. Does this look like "no problem"?

jdvancetheproblemisyou.jpg

Newsom and his stooge Karen Bass fomented and encouraged the riots, because their entire political movement exists for one purpose: to promote mass migration into our country. It is their reason for being. Democratic leadership has no solution for the economy, for prosperity, or for security. They use their power when they're in the majority to import millions of illegal immigrants and when they're in opposition they do everything possible to prevent deportations.

Under Newsom's leadership, medicaid was extended to all illegal immigrants in 2024. This means that he elected to take healthcare from impoverished and disabled Californians and give it to illegal aliens. And now, everything is President Trump's fault? Give me a break.

If you want to know why illegal aliens flocked to your state, stop accusing Donald Trump. Look in the mirror.

If you want to know why border patrol fear for their lives over enforcing the law, look in the mirror.

It was your policies that encouraged mass migration into California. Your policies that protected those migrants from common sense law enforcement. Your policies that offered massive welfare benefits to reward illegal immigrants. Your policies that allowed those illegal migrants (and their sympathizers) to assault our law enforcement. Your policies that allowed Los Angeles to turn into a war zone.

You sure as hell had a problem before President Trump came along.

The problem is YOU.

Bonus: A good campaign ad for Gavin Newsom.

Bonus: A CNN propagandist got an answer she didn't like and didn't know what to do.

20% of them want it to be expanded and to join in.

33 Los Angeles is one of the most bland and character-less cities I have ever been in. It doesn't even have a famous street or section of town, all the known places are different towns like Hollywood and Beverly Hills.

There's no distinct architecture. Even the Hollywood Boulevarde that Mann's Chinese Theater and the stars on the sidewalk "Walk of Fame" is on is pretty much generic town except for one side of the street, and only the sidewalk.

The city has this reputation of being a sunny, beachy, cool place with hot people and its way inland and has nothing cool about it. Lots of pretty girls, though.

I'm probably mistaken but the Federal sites are being protected by the NG and Marines. That's why they were called up, for the most part. The local, county, and state police are taking care of the commie filth. If I recall, the Gov blowdried dipshit forbid the NG from doing anything, hence the Fed callup. I believe back in '92, those riots, the NG was called up to assist the locals. It was fine then. Different Gov, different time.

The intent of what they are doing is to continue to grow the foreign army of invaders to grow so they can deny a republican form of government to heritage Americans.

I suspect the founders would see this as exactly what they were thinking of an insurrection.

The guy most responsible for the problems in LA is the head of SEIU, David Huerta. He put out the call to his thugs and things escalated from there.

He was arrested and arraigned, the last I heard.

So, no, the riots didn't start with ICE. They started because of an entitled thug.

78 How a riot persists - it's NOT just that the rioters are not physically confronted.

It's that they don't get tired. because they are being organized and supplied with food and water.

Part of a riot is wearing out the other side. You'll never arrest everyone, but if you can tire them out and demoralize them, they go home. That is what the tear gas is about.

Gas masks, ear plugs, water bottles - these are elements of warfare, in that they prolong the violence. You need to focus on THAT. Don't just confront the rioter up front but find the vans supplying all the gear and food and water.

These people are flashes in the pan, getting quick exposure and then fading, not nearly enough people remembering their names or why they were important for a second.

This pattern repeats every 4 years. Plus, Newsom has an approval rating of something like -27. Maybe he pulls off a 2nd or 3rd place in NH. Maybe. But that's after he comes 11th in South Carolina.

Stephen Miller is a graduate of SAMO and hates the school and particularly the Latino Community there. ICE officers were seen circling the area today, assessing accessibility and security options.

Vindictive prick. If you’re at risk of being picked up by ICE, I suggest laying low for a while. Maybe the school can arrange to have the ceremony broadcast over the internet.

did Miller flunk Spanish or something? What the hell is wrong with this guy? And why are so many Republican males so deliberately ugly?

I just can't. They are so evil. They want to destroy lives and hope and joy. They are killing everything that makes American life special.

If they weren't trying to instigate, these leaks wouldn't happen

CAncel the ceremony. Mail the diplomas. Put ICE out of their jobs if we ever regain power. Get anyone out of the way who won't go along with it

With the election of Lincoln imminent, Buchanan spent a lot of effort making sure federal resources like armories would be available to the southern states if war broke out.

This is the same as Biden funneling all that money through NGOs to antifa and the southern invaders.

No strike that, its worse. Buchanan was arming American citizens. Biden was arming a foreign mercenary army.

247 I've lived in L.A. and I'd go back if I found an opportunity, but it's true, most Angelenos stick to their area of the city, it's so sprawling and disjointed.

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at June 10, 2025 05:12 PM (TWzUj)

My theory is that a city needs some constrictions to grow fast enough in a small enough location to get a city character. NY is on an island, Boston on a peninsula on a bay, River fronts many times.

LA has plenty of constrictions but too many so it breaks up into a small cluster of townlets. The Harbor area is down by Long Beach

259 As a tool to restore electoral viability to the Dems, the riots don't make sense. Honestly, the most plausible explanation is that they are a manifestation of the left's mental health crisis.

The supporters of the protests are a motley (no relation to Mike) crew. One is The National Action Network (NAN):

"a civil rights organization founded by Reverend Al Sharpton, is funded by a variety of sources, including corporations, unions, and individual donors. NAN has historically received funding from major corporations such as AT&T, Viacom, Walmart, Comcast, McDonald's, and Coca-Cola, among others. Additionally, unions like the American Federation of Teachers and the Service Employees International Union have also supported NAN financially. NAN also receives funding from individual donations, with some prominent philanthropists like Robert F. Smith being long-term supporters."

What's the difference between ordering a state militia to attack a federal facility and permitting an informal state militia to attack a federal facility?

BTW, I like the recent federal clown judge ruling that Trump can't use the AEA to deport.

Which is basically "it can't be an invasion because there must be a declared invasion."

Who declares an invasion?
"Well, the President except I find that he must delineate a long list facts to support his declaration that is all-but a declaration of war."

Is that in the statute?
"Well, no but that's not the point. I am the law!"

He's basically saying Congress must declare a war, after response to an actual physical invasion by troops lead by the leader of another country, before the AEA can be invoked.

Judge Dismisses Justin Baldoni's $400 Million Defamation Suit Against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds and the New York Times
Plus: Simone Biles Attacks Riley Gaines

The couple spoke with the New York Times to get their defamation more play.


A federal judge has thrown out actor Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against actress Blake Lively and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, marking a decisive legal victory for the Hollywood couple. Baldoni had accused Lively of making false sexual harassment claims as part of an alleged reputational power play. However, the court found no actionable evidence to support the claims, dismissing the entire suit and paving the way for potential countersanctions against Baldoni and his affiliates.

Key Details:

Judge Lewis Liman ruled that Lively's statements in her civil rights complaint were legally privileged and non-actionable.

The court also dismissed claims against Reynolds, Lively's publicist Leslie Sloane, and the New York Times.

Lively's legal team is now seeking attorneys' fees, treble damages, and punitive damages against Baldoni and his Wayfarer company.

Diving Deeper:

The legal saga between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni stemmed from explosive allegations and counterclaims tied to their work on the film It Ends With Us. In December 2024, Lively filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department accusing Baldoni and producer Jamey Heath of sexual harassment and related misconduct. Baldoni responded with a $400 million defamation lawsuit, alleging Lively fabricated the claims to salvage her image following turmoil on the film's press tour.

On Monday, U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman delivered a firm rebuke of Baldoni's claims. In a written opinion, Liman found that Lively's statements, confined to her CRD complaint, were privileged under the law and thus not grounds for defamation. Liman also dismissed related accusations that Reynolds, Sloane, or The New York Times knowingly spread false information about Baldoni, citing a lack of evidence that they acted with "actual malice."

I get the idea that allegations in a lawsuit are privileged and cannot be the basis of a defamation claim, but how does that insulate them from repeating the defamations to a New York Times reporter, or getting their publicist to spread the allegations around?


Liberal judges love finding ways to dismiss defamation lawsuits against liberals and liberal propaganda organizations.

...

Lively's attorneys, Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, celebrated the ruling, calling it a "total victory and a complete vindication" for their client and those "dragged into [Baldoni's] retaliatory lawsuit." They further indicated intentions to pursue legal costs and damages from Baldoni and others associated with Wayfarer for what they termed "abusive litigation."

The fallout from this legal drama may not be over yet. Judge Liman gave Baldoni's team until June 23 to amend and refile only limited claims regarding tortious interference and breach of implied contract. The broader defamation effort, however, is effectively dead in the water.

In related news of lefties defaming people, overrated tumbling fireplug and Noted Quitter Simone Biles attacked Riley Gaines out of the blue for trying to keep men out of women's sports.


Gaines commented on this newest example of Stolen Women's Valor: a boy is now playing on a girl's softball team and you'll never guess. It turns out the boy is much, much better at softball than girls, and he "dragged" his team to the championship based mostly on his ability to absolutely dominate the female batters he was facing.

Trans Pitcher Marissa Rothenberger Drags Champlin Park to MN Girls Softball State Title


The date was June 6, 2025, when for the first time in recorded history, a transgender biological male (XY) won a state championship in Minnesota Girls (XX) high school softball.

Marissa Rothenberger -- born Charlie Dean Rothenberger until he began transitioning to a she at just 9 years old -- is now 6'0″ tall junior and the No. 1 pitcher for Champlin Park high school girls softball, which on Friday morning defeated Bloomington-Jefferson 6-0 in the 4A Minnesota State Championship.

Rothenberger is the ace of the team's pitching staff and probably the best high school softball pitcher in the state of Minnesota. On Friday, the towering 17-year-old with long blonde hair pitched a complete-game shutout and held Bloomington Jefferson to just 3 hits, bringing Marissa's 2025 pitching statistics to a rest at 94 IP, 0.74 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and .176 BAA.

It's very easy to win a girl's softball championship when your starting pitcher is Thor, God of Thunder.


Biles exploded at Riley Gaines for telling the truth.

Biles even insinuated that Riley Gaines might be a little transgender herself:


Olympic legend Simone Biles is under fire for attacking former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines and defending the participation of biological males in female sports competitions.

Key Details:

Biles called Gaines "truly sick" and a "sore loser" in response to her criticism of a transgender athlete leading a Minnesota high school softball team.

Biles suggested sports could introduce a transgender category but accused Gaines of bullying.

The backlash was swift, with critics calling Biles' comments hypocritical and out of touch with concerns about fairness in women's sports.

Diving Deeper:

Simone Biles is now at the center of a growing firestorm over her recent defense of transgender athletes competing in women's sports. The gymnastics icon took aim at Riley Gaines, a 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer turned outspoken advocate for protecting women's sports, igniting a wave of backlash across social media.

The controversy began when Gaines criticized the Minnesota State High School League for celebrating Champlin Park High School's softball championship -- a title secured in large part by a biologically male player, junior pitcher Marissa Rothenberger. The league posted a team photo with comments disabled, prompting Gaines to speak out on X.

Biles jumped into the fray by attacking Gaines directly. "You're truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser," Biles wrote, referencing Gaines' 2022 competition against UPenn transgender swimmer Lia Thomas. In a follow-up post, Biles said Gaines should be "uplifting the trans community" and proposed creating a "transgender category in all sports."

But Biles' attempt to frame her remarks as inclusive quickly backfired.

"You bully them... One thing's for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!" she added, escalating the personal nature of her criticism.

...

Others accused Biles of ignoring the central issue: biological differences between men and women, especially in competitive athletics. "Simone Biles benefited from fair competition her whole career," one commenter wrote. "Now she's endorsing policies that erase that fairness for the next generation of girls."


Note that Biles attacked Riley for being a buff female athlete, telling her to "pick on someone her own size" which, she then added, would be a "man." She's basically claiming that Riley Gaines looks like a tranny.

This from a woman who looks like Herschel Walker in one-piece bathing suit.

This stubby, jacked Mannish Racist is now saying she didn't mean to be a bully and attack people for no reason.

simonbilesapology.jpg

Based Jane D'oh speculated that Biles might have heard from her sponsors.

I don't know if any woke corporations are ready to dump their sponsorship over trans activism yet.

But it's no longer 2018 with a fully-empowered left-wing cancellation and deplatforming machine ready to destroy anyone who disputes the insane claims of the left. Apparently Biles still thinks she can get away with screaming outrageous stupidity that puts girls' safety in danger and get nothing but "Slay Kween" in return.

Followup to the "no scientific evidence."

I didn't really bother mentioning it. The basic story is that Blake Lively attempted a power-play to take away a movie from the guy who produced it and starred in it, and she was angry that he hadn't given in, so she invented a "sexual harassment" claim against him and then seeded that story in the press.

The guy, Justin Baldonni, sued her and her bitchass husband for defamation.

26 I'm convinced Biles was stoned when she posted that brain anal leakage all over the place. Not that it excuses any of it. I've grown quite weary of dumb people who wrap themselves in smug self righteousness when they defend indefensible things like dudes dominating girls' sports or foreign parasites rioting and destroying property.

Posted by: UGAdawg at June 10, 2025 03:32 PM (faLVK)

27 Biles has complained in the past about all of the body shaming she's experienced for being heavily muscled (for a 4'8" woman). Riley Gains is 5'5" with an athletic, but feminine build. Nobody but an activist looks at Gains and thinks she looks masculine.

Biles is a moron.

Posted by: bonhomme at June 10, 2025 03:32 PM (lIio7)

28 "Note that Biles attacked Riley for being a buff female athlete, telling her to 'pick on someone her own size' which, she then added, would be a man.' She's basically claiming that Riley Gaines looks like a tranny."

I'm not sure Biles' outburst and attack were some well-thought plan. Biles is highly erratic and mentally ill, and I think admittedly so. If nothing else, she was abused by Larry Nasser and all the ogres at USA gymnastics.

As to the "your own size" comment, I think Biles is an idiot and was confusing Gaines with the much-taller Lia Thomas in that famous pic.

Besides, I support men playing women's sports. I think it's hilarious from a spectator perspective, as well as an ironic hypocritical position.

72 I think another one of the greatest legal wrong turns this country has made is allowing civil and employment claims against "sexual harassment." It is either a crime (physical assault, etc.) or it is your problem for staying at the job.

I think it was driven by the tort industrial complex. If your boss is an ass -- quit. Tell the world what they said, or how they act. The courts can not solve everything (in fact, they seem to be really bad at solving anything.)

I didn't really bother mentioning it. The basic story is that Blake Lively attempted a power-play to take away a movie from the guy who produced it and starred in it, and she was angry that he hadn't given in, so she invented a "sexual harassment" claim against him and then seeded that story in the press.

The guy, Justin Baldonni, sued her and her bitchass husband for defamation.

172 Girls are strange. My favorite girl is 5’ 10”. She’s beautiful but people comment on her height all the time. We went to the Army/Navy game together and took pix. I’m 5’11”. A mutual friend dm’ed her- “how much taller are you than Bob?” (She owns it, doesn’t slump her shoulders, stands tall and proud, which I like), but she felt like it was intended negatively.

Yes, and not just that, Ace. Biles herself puts out some very weird pics of herself, in which she's clearly trying to look as masculine as possible. Up to an including sticking her crotch out to try to mimic a bulge. She deliberately puts out unflattering pics, then bitches about it. As I said above, she's not right in the head.

Until you run in to a situation where it doesn't. But, you know, bad facts bad rules all of that.

I'm familiar with "jacked" but hadn't heard "yoked" before until a few days ago. It's so hard to keep up.

I mean I guess that's true of everyone on every job if you over reduce it to its simplest possible concept. Every plumber, actor, writer, politician, accountant, hit man, and extortionist is in the job to get paid. But that doesn't make it their job. He was a comedian, that was what he was billed at and claimed to be. Other comedians love him. Almost nobody actually found him to be funny, though.

I think the comparison to Norm Macdonald is great: he was all that Kaufman was without the aggressively abrasive personality and the lack of comedy. He did surreal stuff that made people laugh.

My proposal will have a much much higher yield. Plus, a much bigger ripple/demo effect. Naturally the "social telegraph" in illegal labor circles is very efficient. When the cousin at Smithfield tells the family that La Migra is systematically cleansing that and other large meat processors of illegals, the wider effect will be enormous.

Surprise! The Mind-Controlling Media Cult That Brought You Biden's Cheapfake "Presidency" Is Now Claiming That Videos Showing Arson and Violence in LA Are Also Cheapfakes

They literally never stop lying.

The New York Times says that if you're claiming that Democrats permit and encourage their street paramilitaries to commit violence to terrorize the population into supporting the Democrat agenda, you're pushing "conspiracy theories."


cheapfakeriots.jpg

Disgraceful propaganda to push the Marxist revolutionary line:

Misleading photographs, videos and text have spread widely on social media as protests against immigrant raids have unfolded in Los Angeles, rehashing old conspiracy theories and expressing support for President Trump's actions.

Oh no, not that.

The flood of falsehoods online appeared intended to stoke outrage toward immigrants and political leaders, principally Democrats.

It's a conspiracy theory to say that Democrats justify and excuse violence and chaos to advance their agenda, says a Democrat propaganda rag justifying and excusing violence and chaos to advance their agenda.


They also added to the confusion over what exactly was happening on the streets, which was portrayed in digital and social media through starkly divergent ideological lenses. Many posts created the false impression that the entire city was engulfed in violence, when the clashes were limited to only a small part.

Literally no one thought "the entire city was engulfed in violence." In no riots is the entire city engulfed in violence.

They're falsely claiming that conservatives are stupid and believe stupid things to make the case that we're wrong about the fact that the city was essentially paralyzed by violence. I mean, they shut down one of LA's most important highways, the 101.

There were numerous scenes of protesters throwing rocks or other objects at law enforcement officers and setting cars ablaze, including a number of self-driving Waymo taxis. At the same time, false images spread to revive old conspiracies that the protests were a planned provocation, not a spontaneous response to the immigration raids.

You mean like the California Democrat assemblyman who posted TikToks telling people that "something is going to happen" at the ICE detention center, not-so-subtly encouraging Democrat terrorists to make that something happen?


The confrontation escalated on Monday as new protests occurred and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced -- on X -- that he was mobilizing 700 Marines from a base near Los Angeles to guard federal buildings. They are expected to join 2,000 members of the California National Guard whom Mr. Trump ordered deployed without the authorization of the state's governor, Gavin Newsom, who normally has command of the troops.

The latest deployments prompted a new wave of misleading images to spread -- some purporting to show Marines and the military service's weapons in action. One was a still from "Blue Thunder," a 1983 action-thriller about a conspiracy to deprive residents of Los Angeles of their civil rights. It features a climactic dogfight over the city's downtown.

Someone posted a meme of a sci-fi helicopter doing loop-de-loops and killing Malcolm McDowell and the New York Times is taking this as "disinformation" that proves that we're all spreading "conspiracy theories."

Darren L. Linvill, a researcher at Clemson University's Media Forensics Hub, said conservatives online were "building up the riots in a performative way "to help bolster Mr. Trump's claims that Los Angeles had been taken over by "violent, insurrectionist mobs."

Note that this argument is merely "conservatives are playing this story more heavily that liberals are." No shit. Liberals always hide stories about liberals acting badly.

This is not exposing a conspiracy theory -- this is just the New York Times whining that conservatives won't go along with their cultish erasure of history to fit the Democrat-Media Party narrative.

This is just the New York Times whining girlishly that conservatives won't believe them that the newest outbreak of Democrat-cultivated ultraviolence is No Big Deal, Brah.


Dr. Linvill said the posts were also "a bit self-fulfilling." "As they direct attention to it," he said, "more protesters will show up."

Of course. Perfect. "Akshually it's conservatives who are causing the riots by talking about the riots."

Thanks for putting us straight, New York Times.


Brian Stelter is again pushing that Democrat riots are just "cries for help."

Also, he insists that it's disinformation to post videos from a couple of hours ago, because.... Well, the fires might have gone out by now. So all videos of the fire are disinformation.

Weird, the media continues playing video from January 6th to this day. But this fat, bloated propagandist is claiming that it's against the rules of journalism to post any videos that aren't showing live events.

Obviously Maxine Waters endorses the Democrat-Media Party effort to convince people that their eyes are lying to them:

The media just got done telling us all that our eyes were lying to us when we watched "cheapfake" videos of Joe Biden tripping and falling and summoning ghosts, and they're back to doing it.

Whenever big things happen, there are always accounts on X trying to pass off old footage as new footage. Sometimes it's a problem. Other times it simply illustrates how often this crap happens and how bad the leaders of those areas are.

Claiming people should be wary of two hour old footage is a new one. That's hilarious.

There are LIV's who will just take the MSM's word for it, but they're not engaged in any thing political anyways.

63 Video of protesters throwing large rocks at CHP cars from an overpass. This is quite dangerous. CHP (California Highway Patrol) had nothing to do with this.

People are pissed off and rightfully so! Nobody made the British leave by carrying a protest sign and marching against King George. It was Minute Men with muskets and Minute Men who used those muskets to kick tyranny out of America.

CHP had nothing to do with any of this. The larger rocks could kill them from an overpass. All is does is give the other side a leverage.

It's Boogaloo Bois that target law enforcement at these protests. The left gets blamed by the careless media. Vice and the LA Times are both reporting on it.

Back when Andy Ngo was exposing the specific people engaged in violence at these riots the other people there ran around calling him "a fed", told people to mask up, and stood in front of him so he couldn't get video of them.

ICE fights back.

Rioters back off of ICE because of overwhelming force and keep to a smaller area removed from ICE to playact revolutionary.
This is where we've been for a couple of days. Rioters burning things and looting things far from ICE.

The administrative reaction to LA is probably going to dampen any natural feelings of unrest. The protests will be largely quiet and small. We'll get headlines about millions of protestors with pictures of select protests from select angles.

141 I think this is the timeline:

ICE operations in LA were used as an excuse for a pre-planned riot....


I just heard Homan saying that the operation was a money laundering bust of a bunch of stores and businesses in a district. He didn't say it, but it did match the kind of fencing operation you'd run if 'private contractors' were shoplifting under $900 worth of merchandise every day. (The California not-a-crime limit)

145 Weird, the media continues playing video from January 6th to this day. But this fat, bloated propagandist is claiming that it's against the rules of journalism to post any videos that aren't showing live events.

Obviously Maxine Waters endorses the Democrat-Media Party effort to convince people that their eyes are lying to them:

The administrative reaction to LA is probably going to dampen any natural feelings of unrest. The protests will be largely quiet and small. We'll get headlines about millions of protestors with pictures of select protests from select angles.

They will, in fact, be smaller than the USAID protests.

The primary less than lethal option are bean bag rounds, or weird foam nerf looking finned slugs. Rubber slugs do exist, but are old tech, as they're pretty dangerous. Rubber buckshot is more common, and typically shot into the ground in front of protesters to take off some of the velocity and mostly hit people in the legs.

A long time ago, they used wooden dowel in a similar way to the rubber buckshot.

Why erase it?

Because they THOUGHT this would make them look good, that people would rally to the cause. They realize that most Americans support deploying the national guard, support getting the riots under control, and support deporting illegals. It's more of an "Uh, never mind."

257 The latest deployments prompted a new wave of misleading images to spread -- some purporting to show Marines and the military service's weapons in action. One was a still from "Blue Thunder," a 1983 action-thriller about a conspiracy to deprive residents of Los Angeles of their civil rights. It features a climactic dogfight over the city's downtown.

Akshually, this would more likely be posted by anti-ICE people as an attempt to show a militarily-assisted fascist action. I.e. leftists promoting conspiracy theories, but then I guess the Times wants to lump them all under one side.

Sure, there's connection.

But the guy funding the riots, tied to China, is not taking orders from the cartels.

It's a connected revenue stream for both, but when the guy running it is literally tied to China (living in Shanghai right now), it's foolish to go, "It's a guy in Mexico calling the shots on the riots!"

They think he might get a short-term bump, but either A: you have to fight fascism even if it's unpopular or B: the people will eventually turn around and support The Resistance...and The Right Side of History.

294 "These protests, which have been abbreviated in the media as 'unrest,' were actually a cry of hope, and a reminder of the human need for community, the need to turn to each other to find something to believe in"

The left has been cultivating mindless peer dependence for decades to do some of their population control work. It can be easier to prompt a mob to stampede than it is to convince an independent-minded person to do a stupid thing that the left wants him to do.

300 I looked at the government stats on farmworkers - not counting owner/operators and families of them, there are about 1M hired farmworkers.

Even if you assume those are all illegals that means that the vast majority of illegals, 95%+, are not in fact picking our crops.

So hmm...how could they be getting enough money to live if they are not working?

Yeah they are convinced that rioting is a political tool of great import and value on the left. Its basically a power fantasy of the left: the rising of the street, the grass roots revolution! REMEMBER WOODSTOCK! (but Woodstock wasn't a riot! Quiet, they're rolling).

It does intimidate people in power like Supreme Court justices, but it turns voters against them. Strongly. Every time.

Posted by: Duke Lowell at June 10, 2025 03:08 PM (u73oe)
______________________

It's covered under Civil Commotion. And, since the California Insurance Commissioner basically has to sign off on all actions of state insurers, they would not be able to list it as an exclusion in that state. Damage to cars would be under comprehensive coverage listing of "riots."

Yeah, so it's covered, and the increased costs will be distributed across the country to their other consumers. Congrats on your insurance premium increase courtesy of a bunch of Mexican flag waving vandals.

If they wanted honest coverage, all they would have to do is show video of what is going on with on-the-scene or drone footage. Literally they could do play-by-play in a rolling news feed, but they won't because they have an interest in hiding the truth. The MSM want to paint it as a confusing miasma, a series of kaleidoscopic events that are simply being taken out of context. I pray that the average person can see through this bullshit.

Kash Patel: The FBI is Investigating the Financing Behind the Terrorist Riots

Please seize the Soroses' money.

If Trump can be assessed a $500 million fine for, allegedly, overvaluing his companies in loan negotiations which the banks said they did not rely on and did not harm them, then the Soroses and all the other Billionaire Communists can have their estates seized, consistent with their political vision.


FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the bureau is actively investigating financial networks behind the escalating anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. The unrest, which began as protests over immigration raids, has turned violent--raising alarms about foreign interference and taxpayer-funded activism.

Key Details:

FBI Director Kash Patel said the agency is tracking financial support fueling the anti-ICE riots.

Footage of Mexican flags at violent scenes and past statements from Mexico's president have raised questions about foreign involvement.

A California-based activist group involved in early protests received nearly $34 million in taxpayer funding in 2023.

Diving Deeper:

As anti-ICE riots continue to grip Los Angeles, the FBI is zeroing in on who's funding the chaos. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed Monday night that the bureau is "investigating any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots."

...

The intensity of the violence--and the presence of foreign flags among the rioters--has sparked urgent questions in Washington about who's backing the movement.

"The FBI is actively tracing the money trail," former FBI Executive Assistant Director Chris Piehota told Just the News, explaining that law enforcement is likely targeting the financial and logistical support structures behind the riots. "They have become professional rabble-rousers...financed around the country to show up at different events and cause problems," he added.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) said he believes the protests are being manipulated by foreign interests. "They hate this country," Biggs said Monday. "Not a doubt in my mind" that foreign actors, including Mexico's government, are helping to stoke the unrest. He pointed to President Claudia Sheinbaum's past statements about mobilizing against U.S. immigration policy as evidence.

One organization helping lead the initial protests was CHIRLA (Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights), which staged one of the earliest rallies last week and is part of a broader progressive activist network. Though CHIRLA claims it did not participate in the violence, it has drawn attention for its heavy reliance on taxpayer funding.

According to state filings, CHIRLA received nearly $34 million in 2023, most of it from California state contracts. The Biden administration had also awarded the group nearly $200,000 in federal grants before President Trump terminated that funding earlier this year.

Meanwhile, far-left activist groups like the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), with known ties to the Chinese Communist Party, have also taken credit for organizing the protests. PSL is part of a broader web of anti-American groups tied to Neville Roy Singham, a pro-CCP billionaire who resides in Shanghai and has poured millions into leftist causes across the United States, including anti-ICE and anti-Israel demonstrations.

The FBI is showing itself to be redeemable. Pam Bondi says they successfully identified one of the attempted murderers of the terrorist riots.


Federal agents have tracked down a suspect who violently attacked law enforcement during the weekend's anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed Monday night. The man, identified by Bondi as "Reyes," was allegedly seen on video breaking cinderblocks and hurling the fragments at federal officers amid the chaos.

"That guy has just been identified, and they are doing a search warrant on his house as we speak," Bondi announced during an appearance on Hannity. She described Reyes as "still at large," but made clear he would soon be placed on the FBI's most wanted list.

The Los Angeles field office of the FBI had previously announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the suspect, who is wanted for assaulting a federal officer and damaging government property.

Bondi emphasized that the attack wasn't incidental, recounting how the suspect "was breaking up the cinder blocks and he was throwing them" directly at federal law enforcement officials. "He has been identified by great police work by the FBI," she said. "So you can run. You can't hide. We are coming after you, federally."

Bondi's remarks also served as a broader message to other rioters and agitators involved in the weekend unrest. "If you assault a police officer, if you rob a store, if you loot, if you spit on a police officer, we're coming after you," she warned.

During the 2020 Summer of Love, she came to the city to perpetrate bigly. Some of her activity included torching a Philly PD cruiser ir two.
She was identified by her unique tattoos and a shirt she had bought on Etsy.
She spent the next 2.5 years in the Federal lockup at 6 and Arch. Reyes term will be longer, since his crime was against person, not property.

Yes. This is how it's done. Investigate and then criminal and civil RICO. Conspiracy to commit murder. Insurrection. Throw the whole fucking stinking book at them. Lawfare them up the assholes with flaming barbed sandpaper dildos laced with arsenic and acid.

Well, that is the big question, isn't it? I would suggest that our own intel agencies, at the very least, allow the cartels to exist, if they are not actively involved in the cartels existing and being protected in the first place.

Kind of like what they now admit was going on between intel services and the Italian mafia from the 1930's through the 1960's (if not longer).

Because I find it hard to believe that, especially with the constant "terrorists could smuggle nuclear weapons across the border!" rhetoric post-911, our government, 22 intel agencies, military, FBI, etc. are unable to identify and shut down the cartels.

"Remittances from abroad account for roughly 4.5 percent of Mexico’s total GDP and form the largest single source of foreign income for Mexico," and the amount in 2023 was $6.3 Billion

The majority of remittances go to Mexico State, Guerrero, and Michoacán (which I believe due to the population of MX here in Oregon) so the impact is going to be lopsided. I think (think I am not sure) those are areas that do support the MX government pretty strongly

I'm nothing like an expert on AZ politics, but I've heard it asserted for a long time that the cartels own AZ politics and have for a while.

That's my assumption: that that assertion is true and that, if the DOJ is going to attack cartel functions in the US, it's gonna deeply impact the state's politics.

But yes, deporting illegals is going to have material effects on every state with loose election rules. Get rid of 100,000 illegals from AZ, clean up the voter rolls (which can happen from outside the state government), and then there's suddenly far fewer ballots available to manufacture in a given election.

Also, he said he'd love to have prosecuted people for Russiagate on day 1 but the statute of limitations ran out. He's working up the case for it being a criminal conspiracy, which has no such timeout.

Posted by: Cow Demon at June 10, 2025 01:30 PM (2Rbgs)

No, they should never have been allowed in in the first place, but if we're going to be stuck with them, then they can pretend to be good Americans and pretend they want to be here and don't hate us, and yes that means not destroying the middle class of this country by taking jobs / lowering wages, and it most certainly means not sending money back to whatever country they fled from.

I don't think I said anything about killing anyone, but taxing them at astronomical rates for sending money abroad is fine by me.

Ideally, though, I'd deport them all. But I'll settle for making it financially difficult for them to continue sucking money out of the American middle classes pocket by sending money abroad.

Posted by: Harry Paratestes at June 10, 2025 01:34 PM (uCjyK)

110 But yes, deporting illegals is going to have material effects on every state with loose election rules. Get rid of 100,000 illegals from AZ, clean up the voter rolls (which can happen from outside the state government), and then there's suddenly far fewer ballots available to manufacture in a given election.

AZ has been ordered to clean up their voter roles. They lost in court and are in the process of getting the job done. Anecdotally, the local sheriff department, I talked to some deputies recently, believes they'll be able to get a better handle on gang activity, due to a new attitude from the federal government. What I gathered, anyway. We shall see.

This hardly gives me a thrill. There were at least ten people throwing rocks and professional grade fireworks. They destroyed two police vehicles and it was a life threat for the cops to come out from under the overpass.

There are many camera shots of these people perpetrating these crimes. There is also a thing called GeoFencing that can identify every phone on that bridge.

Bondi should have arrested at least 20 people on solid prosecutable offenses and 30+ more for being active participants.

129 Shrugs.

To be honest, these kinds of violent outbursts don't require "financing" to erupt. People on our side often say "Who's paying these protestors/rioters?" and "Who is financing this violent protest?" -- but seriously, I doubt anyone or any group or any government is actively "financing" them. Maybe paying for a few signs, a coupla megaphones, but other than that -- what is there to spend money on? You don't need to pay these rioters to riot - -they do it spontaneously of their own accord. Hated and violence and criminality and racism are simmering under the surface all the time, and if you give a certain sector of the population half a chance to run wild in the streets and kill cops an loot stores and attack white people and burn cars, etc. -- heck, they'll do it "for free," without financing an without instruction. Of course they'll wave their nation's flags when they're doing it all -- they hate America, they hate the hand that feeds them.

Sure you'll find that and this leftie NGO and socialist party hanging around the fringes egging the rioters on, but to imagine that they are "behind" the riot is absurd. The only thing that's "behind" the riot is Biden's policies.

Well, yes and no.

The immigration situation here and in western europe is likely going to be the end of western civilization. Which many in our own countries are cheering on. And maybe they're right, maybe "white people" do need to die out / take a back seat, from a philosophical perspective. I don't know.

But, also, what kind of civilization just allows itself to be destroyed like this without so much as a whimper? And anyone who allows it ... either they come from multi generational wealth and know they'll be fine no matter what happens, or they're nihilists, or... what?

And frankly, my gut says the rest of the world won't be doing too hot without us in 50-60 years when Europe is part of a caliphate, the US is the Balkans, and Asia is dying off from lack of children, but I could be wrong.

170 But yes, deporting illegals is going to have material effects on every state with loose election rules. Get rid of 100,000 illegals from AZ, clean up the voter rolls (which can happen from outside the state government), and then there's suddenly far fewer ballots available to manufacture in a given election.
--
Consider:
Self-deportation is--and always was--going to be the biggest component of Trump's immigration reform.

Will that be from the border states?

My privilege? Oh boy.

In my most recent day job, I witnessed it first hand, day in and day out. American citizens of all races and backgrounds getting absolutely steamrolled by the massive influx of immigrants coming in here.

And yes, many immigrants do show up here with generational wealth and start businesses. I don't know how that is supposed to be a good thing for the American middle class. Does the black guy in Schenectady who saved for years to start a business say "well, I wanted to open a barber shop, but luckily Abdul from Egypt showed up, opened a bodega, and rented the space I wanted and employs some kids in the neighborhood while following none of the US labor laws. Thank god for the small things, I guess I'll just give up on my dreams and go on welfare."

I'm not saying wealth is a finite pie -- but when you add 50 million more mouths in 20 years, the pie aint growing that fast. So every immigrant who comes here is taking nibbles out of someone elses pie.

You're trivialize the debate. It's not about $100 for a birthday. It's about almost entire incomes earned in the USA being immediately sent to foreign -- and often hostile -- countries. Mexico alone gets something like $75B a year. That's siphoning real money from the USA economy, where it otherwise would circulate and boost the USA economy. So yea, it should be taxed to make up for that.

I'd say, if possible, to make the tax apply only to non-citizens transferring money.
And then raise it to 10%, at least.

If you're a citizen, no tax to certain countries, and taxed at 3.5% going to those countries Trump wants to put it on.

234 in the late 90s I knew a lot of 1st 2nd and 3rd generation mexican immigrants in CA who mostly seemed to be commies. They hated the USA, whitey, capitalism, free markets and just about everything the US stood for.

They wanted a big state, but I always thought they expected it to work like it did in Mexico -- incompetent and far away. They wanted it to punish whitey but never had any fear of it affecting their lives. They were feral.

I always saw CAs deterioration through that lens -- they were running things the way they wanted and that is what these protests are about. VDH used to write about the shift. Cormac McCarthy too.

235 Then how is it that alleged conservatives are advocating for regulations against Americans sending money to relatives overseas?
Posted by: kallisto at June 10, 2025 01:46 PM (9PdFC)

Because Americans have regulations on every thing we do with our money. We usually call them taxes.

But I guess immigrants should be exempt from that system, while they do something provably harmful to the US economy (sending money overseas)?

I guess the conservative position in your world is that Americans living in America should be taxed excessively, but new Americans whose true loyalties (money talks, as it were) seem to be to foreign countries, should not be taxed on that money they're sucking out of the US economy?

243 Then how is it that alleged conservatives are advocating for regulations against Americans sending money to relatives overseas?

I get taxed for working. I get taxed for saving. I get taxed for spending. I get taxed for property. I get taxed when I buy my car, I get taxed when I put gas in my car, and I get taxed just to have a car. When/if I live to collect SS - which the government took my money to fund, I'll be taxed on my benefits. And when I die the government will take half my remaining property instead of letting me pass it on to my family.

So, you know what, I really, really don't care about the nominal libertarian argument for why it is wrong to tax people to send money overseas when most of that money is being sent by illegal alien welfare receipts back to their family in the home country

And honestly? I'd like to see it formally banned without proof of citizenship/legal residence.

This probably will be something more like Tether USDT, it is already being used as a retail currency overseas, like Venmo. I would not be surprised if this is proposed as the "official" way to avoid the taxes.
Think on it, Tether owns more treasuries than many countries, and if the demand goes up the US won't have to sell Treasuries to foreign countries, so it is a win-win.

250 Prediction: Trump's approval will go up after the LA protests because a too large portion of Americans always side with the fascist State. Wall Street looks like they are giving Trump the thumbs up today.

I'd bet money on it. LA didn't help migrants one bit.

Doesn't matter. Stopping a fascist authoritarian takeover is not about what polls well day to day. If the Dems want to poll better, they need to show they’re fighting alongside the people. Anything else is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, and worrying about the popularity of icebergs in passenger polls.

We can't assume this riot will be politically damaging to us. The Rodney King riots didn’t cost the Democrats in 1992, and the George Floyd riots didn’t cost them in 2020.

Trump is certainly presiding over a country in relative decline. His poll numbers will drop when the economy turns to shit. No amount of corruption or fascist acts to destroy the government will affect his support.

Approval numbers will be manufactured to support Trump. Trust no data from this administration.

No, UVEX Bionic Face Shields cannot stop a live round to the head. They are designed for industrial safety, protecting against impacts, chemical splashes, and debris, not ballistic threats. Made of polycarbonate, they lack the thickness and specialized design needed to resist high-velocity bullets, per product specs and research. Using them in gunfire scenarios could be dangerously misleading, especially in protests where such risks exist. They may guard against non-lethal threats like tear gas or thrown objects, but not firearms.

Government Control + Human Nature as the two axes defining the spectrum on the plane of political beliefs.


That's a pretty good way to map it out.

I have always been amused though in my discussion with anarchist socialists specifically.

Ok, ok "the people" will own the means of production sure. What happens when I build my own workshop to make things for myself? Oh you won't be allowed. Who will decide? Well the leadership of the people will decide where and when everyone has to work - fairly and evenly! Fine, and when I tell them to f'off what happens? Well the protectors of the people will make you comply. Listen you asshole you just described a government and its police force and a fairly vile one at that.

Then move up the chain. Nobody was paid in cash - there is a record for every step. Just follow the rioter back to wherever they are bussed in from, or wherever they get their bricks, food, water, signs, etc. There are videos of panel vans stopping and handing out gear to rioters. "Footage of the scene showed boxes of solid, full-face masks—almost akin to helmets—being handed out from the back of a pickup truck by two women while a masked driver waited for them to unload the goods." $60 each.

Get those vans. Arrest the drivers. Impound the vans. the trace the lot numbers to the suppliers.

Because that shit has been shoved down my throat just like illegal immigration has. Much of legal immigration is a farce, things like asylum and refugee status. Most of what is done legally in this country with respect to immigration is entirely objectionable. If illegals were granted amnesty tomorrow (something the uniparty has tried to do more than once now), they'd all be legal. Would that somehow make everything better, unobjectionable?

If you were running one of Soros' outposts and you hadn't already tried to hide as much information as you could then Soros should withhold your bonus check.

The second Trump and Musk started going DOGE on agencies like USAID, aka the CIA, which Soros worked with for years, alarm bells must have been going on at Dr. Evil's crime sanctuary.

It can't be both. People can't demand every second of every day to be told what's going on and then say "Whoa, that's too much info!". Kash isn't an idiot.

Koots remains, as does the Buckaroo Club and the Carousel has a new owner, but the Trade Winds is long gone, as is the Fly By Night Club.

A permanent serf class of illegal immigrants to do the blue collar work, most white collar work given to LEGAL immigrants and/or offshored, massive burdensome student loan debts on the American middle class, plus depressed wages from all the immigrants. Oh, not to mention that if even 10% of the promise of AI comes true, millions of white collar jobs disappearing in to thin air.

How is that a recipe for success?

If you are arguing for no taxes on anything, then I'll support that. But that's not the world we live in. The money being sent overseas is taken out of the USA economy. Normally it would circulate around and boost our economy. The $100 example above means nothing, but in total it's 100s of billions a year. That's a big drain. So it should be taxed to make up for that, and to make it less attractive to do. And the gov't does need money.

Allow remittances by legal residents and citizens. But all remitters must apply for a license from the Bureau of Remittances, a unit of Homeland Security. License costs you ten bucks, and you have to prove your legal status. You can only remit to close family members out of country, no random schmoes. Each remittance has to go through the Bureau, which will attach a five-dollar fee per transaction.

A relatively minor hurdle for legal residents sending money to Ma and Pa back in the old country, but a roadblock to illegals remitting.

I spent some time reading about tax averse ex-pats and how they and the government went back and forth on ways to avoid paying taxes to the US.

And...at least as of now the US government has a leviathan that will catch almost any American that moves out of the country to try to avoid taxes - this is presumably the infrastructure you ran into.

Now, if it ok to do this to American citizens why isn't it fair to do it to non-citizens? Remember a significant portion of the money being sent overseas is laundered welfare money.

The wiring company takes a fee, yes.

But most of the remittances to Mexico and Central America are done using Venmo / Zelle / Cash App (or back in the day, Western Union). The person just registers in their own country either using a US phone number or their own phone number.

Since you don't need a SSN to open a bank account, no one knows who is sending this money, where it is truly going, and the exact amount of money. And of course, no one taxes it.

They've still got to buy gas for those trucks. They've still gotta eat. They probably help support the local liquor stores. And, as long as they're here legally, their labor is no doubt contributing to the local economy.

Wall Street Journal: The Corrupt Biden Administration Put Musk Under State Surveillance for Two Years After He Bought Twitter

Ed Morrissey:

Gavin Newsom and leading Democrats have spent the last few days fulminating about "authoritarianism" by Donald Trump for sending National Guard and Marine units to protect federal law enforcement agents and sites. What will they have to say when they discover that the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice spied on an industrialist supporter of the opposition party?
Advertisement

Oh, wait, Trump didn't do that. Joe Biden did that. For two years, according to the Wall Street Journal, Merrick Garland and Alejandro Mayorkas surveilled Elon Musk and his contacts to check out "influence." This seems to have started around the time that Musk bought Twitter and refused to participate in the Biden administration's Big Tech-Big Government Censorship Complex:

Several U.S. government agencies in 2022 and 2023 tracked foreign nationals coming and going to Elon Musk's properties, according to people familiar with the matter.

The investigation included the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department. It focused on people visiting the tech billionaire, from countries in Eastern Europe and elsewhere, who might have been trying to influence him. Until last week, Musk was one of President Trump's closest advisers. ...

The probe, predating the current Trump administration, highlights concerns about the number of foreign nationals in Musk's orbit. Musk runs five companies, including SpaceX, with sensitive government contracts, and has had unprecedented access to top government officials.

Note the pretext for spying on this political enemy of Biden's is the same pretext the Democrat-Media Party used to launch the RussiaGate Hoax: We're so, so scared that our political enemy is talking to foreigners we're compelled to spy on him and get FISA warrants against him.

Musk seems to have reconsidered some of the things he said during his Twitter meltdown:


The feud between Elon Musk and President Trump appears to be cooling--at least publicly--as Musk on Friday deleted a provocative tweet accusing Trump of being tied to the long-sealed Jeffrey Epstein files. The now-removed post had read: "Time to drop the really big bomb... @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!"

The accusation came amid Musk's multi-day online assault on Trump's proposed spending bill, which he labeled as bloated and misguided. But the tweet quickly triggered a wave of rebuttals, including from David Schoen, Epstein's former criminal defense lawyer.

"I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he [Epstein] had no information to hurt President Trump," Schoen wrote on X. "I specifically asked him!"

The White House dismissed Musk's outburst as political sour grapes. "This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted," said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday. "The president is focused on passing this historic piece of legislation and making our country great again."

Trump is also conciliatory:

@ShelbyTalcott

Trump says he doesn't plan to remove Starlink wifi from the White House, calling it "a good service." And he says he isn't planning to get rid of the Tesla, but might "move the Tesla around a little bit."

I suspect that it's an issue of Trump being aware that there was no benefit to being mean to Musk. He's not an opponent, sometimes he's an ally. Let him bluster a bit. Keep him on-side.

Other politicians? Reporters? Sometimes other national leaders? There can be a benefit to putting them off balance.

Musk's expectations were unrealistic but he shared them with a not insignificant number of people in these very comments.

Most people, even people who are interested in politics, understand how things get done. They want immediate and total gratification. After all, it seems like that always happens for the Dems. Never mind that they're being gaslit by the media hyping Dem shit while downplaying Trump shit.

Musk's issue, one he shares with virtually every rich/famous/powerful person on Earth is that he doesn't listen when someone tells him that he's wrong even if it's about something outside of his expertise.

I don't know if it's how they should choose people to spy on, but the fact of the matter is, we live in a surveillance state, it is what it is, and most of the country seems fine with it.

So with that framework, I'd be surprised if a foreign billionaire with a sketchy backstory who clearly has no loyalty to Americans or American workers (lets not forget this tweet: "The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B. Take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.") was not under surveillance by at least one of our 22 intelligence agencies.

Doesn't sound like someone I'd want close to any levers of power, personally.

At least with Trump, I believe his temperament is mostly him playing a character. He doesn't seem to hold grudges and seems to have a pretty even keel.

Look up the saga of Elon Musk and Adrian Dittmann. Whether the "conspiracy theory" is true or not (and I suspect it is), it's just ... bizarre. Like everything around Elon. He's in his 50's, has a dozen plus of kids, multiple companies to run, and yet seems to spend most of his time fucking around online trying to impress teenagers. It's weird.

Posted by: Harry Paratestes at

Not impressed teenagers. Honestly, it all does make sense. It’s probably really hard for him to engage in a normal relationship and online gives him a bit of the safety to communicate. It’s kind of normal with high functioning autistic people. Being normal socially is not what comes easy to them. They have to fake it. We have had a ton of behavior therapy for my daughter, and thank goodness we did. But even now, she will just say things and have no idea it would be received as hurtful. They also don’t do well with the word no, and if they are spiraling, it’s worse.

I agree he's probably autistic, which may explain some of his behavior, but it does not excuse it.

He is the richest man in the world, tweeting publicly about the elected President of the US (who he supported), claiming that he knows that the President engaged in pedophilia and then actively worked to cover that up.

Then he retracted the statement.

That is, to say the least, not acceptable behavior in polite society.

Deport the tens of millions of people working and living here illegally driving down wages for American citizens.

195 Musk acted out of two motives, I believe: one, he tried regulatory capture of the biggest prize (Trump) and that flopped miserably, so he flounced a little over his failure, and two, he genuinely does not understand the Congressional sausage making and he was appalled by the bill.

Trump knows he needs the tax cuts first, foremost, and desperately, so he is willing to settle (for now) on allowing the pork to roll along with it.

I believe Trump will come back to spending reductions, and Musk was unwilling to trust that will happen. Fair enough, he has a better than even chance of being correct.

Anyway, having started the fight, Musk also needs to finish it. His businesses are too reliant on federal cooperation for him to do any other thing.

You will not see most of the spending numbers budge but Trump will continue at least cutting regulations and the cost of doing business, which is another solid way to generate wealth. And it's a way the bastard Republicans can live with.

Yes, but Elon is supposedly Trump's ally, and is now likely going to try to "mend bridges" with Trump.

Again, Trump has a way about him where he can get away with being outrageous. He's unique in that sense. It feels very tongue in cheek coming from him. And even then, he doesn't really always get away with it.

This outburst from elon? I don't think he was being Trumpian. If Elon had made fun of Trump's hair or something, sure.

But how do you come back from calling Trump a pedophile who is covering up the evidence of that? There will be books written on Epstein for the next 50 years, half of which will cite Elon's tweet as proof that Trump was an Epstein client.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

Vice President Vance recently said that the United States was "governed by complete morons" before Donald Trump took office. He was talking about the catastrophe of the Biden administration and their ignorance of the fragility of supply chains, but Gavin Newsom has stepped in admirably to fill in the gaps with not just ignorance, but stunning stupidity!

If that were the only calculation, then anyone who makes more in income than he receives from the federal government could claim the same thing. That is the undeniable reality of a progressive tax system. But is even dumber than that; the Trump administration is threatening to withhold funds from California because they aren't following federal law (Title IX) as currently interpreted. That is a tried and true method for forcing the states to do the federal government's bidding. Remember 55 mph speed limits? And exactly how would California withhold federal tax payments? Order every business to stop withholding federal taxes from their employees' paychecks, and instead send the funds to the state? That's...nuts! Tit-For-Tat simply doesn't work.

Bessent condemns Newsom's 'dangerous' threat to withhold $80B in federal taxes amid trans athlete controversy

If the California governor were to follow through with his threat, Bessent said in a Sunday post on X that it would constitute tax evasion.

Newsom's plan would defraud American taxpayers while leaving California residents on the hook for any unpaid federal taxes, the treasury secretary wrote.

It is of course just bluster, and Treasury Secretary Bessent does an admirable job of making Newsom look like the idiot that he is. But the lack of seriousness is becoming a recurrent theme in California and many other blue states. The hilariously confused charge that there are no riots, but they were made worse by President Trump's mobilization of the National Guard, is an excellent example of the clownish fools we have in many positions of power. A United States senator advocating for more riots to combat ICE's legal activity to protect America from criminal aliens? Or the house minority leader threatening to expose federal agents?

Obviously these people have become complacent over the last generation; they have a compliant media that are unwilling to examine critically even the most outrageous and idiotic pontifications. They have carte blanche to say the most ridiculous things, and advocate for blatantly illegal policies, because the 4th Estate are 100% in the bag for them.

Yet in the grand scheme, this is a good thing. The monopoly that the mainstream media had is no longer extant, and the American people have access to both the stupidity emanating from the political class AND they can see the underlying facts. That is a big reason why Donald Trump is president, and it is an encouraging sign that the titanic shift that so many are predicting may actually occur.

That should be a political winner. People love to pay taxes that their governor then gets to keep.

Right?

7 There is absolutely no plausible universe in which California is actually sending more money to DC than it gets in return.

It would be like watching a video of a waterfall flowing up. Or watching a balloon un-pop.

It's so farcical it precludes any further analysis or consideration.

There was only one instance that I can think about where Eve didn't seem comfortable and that was in the first big set piece. I assumed though that that was because it was her first job and she hadn't quite figured things out yet.

85 Newsom 2028: He took on the wrong Governor.
I did not think that Trump would try an Armed Forces coup against the three most popular, most articulate Governors of Democratic States: Newsom in California, Pritzker in Illinois, or Whitmer in Michigan.

But here we are. Trump has launched the military against the most articulate Governor of Americas biggest, richest State,

He chose the wrong Governor, the wrong State, on an ultra Stupid occasion: Just in time for tanks for rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue.; Bradleys coming soon, to a neighborhood near you.

Maybe, if LA handles the current situation well. If it goes bad, we'll never hear end of it from trumpsters. LA has handled it well, but I was hoping things would cool off a bit today after weekend.

Trump runs on impulse triggered by simmering rage. Newsom is intelligent, and does a good job of pushing Trump's buttons, showing him to be the insane cretin for all the world to see.

he is by far the best governor to take on donald and the federal government. He is smart, and quick, and has a presence. He's like the male counterpart to AOC or Crockett. What a trio that group would be!!

99 My guess is the $80b
Is one of those lies that’s also true. It probably takes the total amount of income taxes paid and subtracts the amount of direct payments to the state. And yeah there’s $80B difference.

What it doesn’t count is stuff like the military bases which California has a ton of. It’s all funded by federal dollars. It’s billions of dollars going into the state and generating economic activity. But it’s not a direct payment to California so it doesn’t count in their math. Nor does any money spent by the feds to operate federal buildings or airports or national parks, etc.

Posted by: Elric Blade

She had (maybe still has) a real shot at their nomination in 2028. They want the first woman, she's a governor that isnt as obvious a failure as Newsom, so they can spin her as being successful. She was the target of the FBI-led white supremacist kidnapping hoax, so she has victim points. She's from a critical swing state.

But, she did a couple joint events with Trump, so now the far Left says she's a sell-out traitor.

Illegals Help Film Republican Presidential Campaign Commercial

LOS ANGELES, CA — The Republican Party expressed gratitude to a local group of illegal immigrants who helped film some commercials for the next presidential campaign.
The rowdy group was filmed torching cop cars, looting stores, and waving Mexican flags, providing some "killer" footage for the 2028 race.
"Man, this is great stuff," said one Republican consultant as he reviewed a scene of several illegal immigrants defecating on an American flag while throwing bricks at people's faces. "We couldn't have asked for better footage here. Just 10 seconds will give us a 10-point boost in the polls. Thanks, illegals!"

238 Marcus @47 I've been pointing out that the fed troops have a very limited role (so far). I suspect that won't change. There are several strategeries for overwhelming the "resistance" to ICE operations, including moving your focus around, as appears to already be happening. And waiting out the "hotspots", which probably will fizzle before long.

I'm really curious about what business ICE plans in areas like the San Gabriel Valley, where the flag on the map would be of Chy-nah, not Mexico. Gotta be lots of targets there, including many in the "special interest", not criminal, category.

Anyone here who lives down by the Southern border, and particularly in TX, understands the dynamic of those who really do just want to work and support their families, and how much those who are legal via whatever means detest the fence hoppers. Most of those here legally are from Mexico but there is a very solid fraction from South and Central America on work permits.

... And these are not *any* of the people Biden let in, or those who came in during one of Obama's aborted pushes (for those forgetting, Obama backed out of the suicide pact with the EU long enough to ensure the EU is burning down first... the Biden invasion was originally planned for 2015)

265 The estimated and some actual election results from 2024 confirm Trump's "Hispanic" support, I thought. In 2020 he flipped TX border counties that had never (I think, ever) voted for GOP prez candidate. That was pretty striking.

It's not puzzling. The rather confected "Hispanic" category does in fact group lots of people who are more normal (by historical standards) in terms of values and lifestyles than your freak luxury believe suburban whites. There's no country or culture outside Canada and Europe from which any immigrant will be leaving a less "conservative" place (talking basic values). Mexico sadly is more complicated, partly due to the cross-border non-assimilation phenomenon that really doesn't apply to others. But most of the pathologies in that picture developed on the US side.

Of course when you look at economic "values" there's a pronounced bias towards statist or welfare-centric mentality for many immigrants, compared to the US genpop, but sadly that gap has seemed to close a bit.

Illegals Help Film Republican Presidential Campaign Commercial

LOS ANGELES, CA — The Republican Party expressed gratitude to a local group of illegal immigrants who helped film some commercials for the next presidential campaign.
The rowdy group was filmed torching cop cars, looting stores, and waving Mexican flags, providing some "killer" footage for the 2028 race.
"Man, this is great stuff," said one Republican consultant as he reviewed a scene of several illegal immigrants defecating on an American flag while throwing bricks at people's faces. "We couldn't have asked for better footage here. Just 10 seconds will give us a 10-point boost in the polls. Thanks, illegals!"

Much more recent. "Boofing" used to mean puking. It now has a different meaning, maybe in the last 4-5 years. Boofing is popular because it's an instant high that maximizes the potency of the drug.

119 I rather like this painting. It captures the feel of a traveling company of entertainers for the 1700s: rough wooden walls, well used curtains to give an air of something special, the improvised tightrope supports, all realistic enough. The two circus figures in the center stand out in the painting and the crowd with their bright white costumes, keeping the focus of the art viewer and the performers' audience. The spectators are sufficiently individual but not so much they take a lot of attention from the performers. It's very effective.

This wouldn't apply to the viewer of the period but, looking at it today, there are echoes of Elizabethan and earlier times with itinerant companies of actors trying to survive on talent and content alone with minimal backdrops and few possessions. It's easy to imagine Puck giving the closing lines of A Midsummer Night's Dream or Hamlet examining Yorick's skull.

132 > Walloon painter Is that some area that is now Belgium?

Yeah. Walloons = Frog-speaking Belgies. Flemings = Flemish-speaking Belgies (or "Phlegms").

Both mostly Catholics. The Catholic part of the Netherlands, now Belgium, was historically known as the "Spanish Netherlands". What we now call the Netherlands was the Protestant part. Flemish is quite similar to Dutch.


"Sometimes the English and the Dutch ally against the French, and fight in the Spanish Netherlands. Sometimes the English and the French ally against the Dutch, and fight in the Spanish Netherlands. Sometimes the Dutch and French ally against the English, and fight in the Spanish Netherlands." -- Neal Stephenson

Nothing has changed. The Eurosavages alway prefer to fight in Belgium, if they can manage it. Why fuck up their own countries, and let's get real: what are the Belgians going to do about it?

158 Here’s a breakdown of the groups, the money, and the people pulling the strings.

A number of NGOs have been implicated in this. Foremost is Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights or CHIRLA, and the photos of signs show they were printed by PSLWEB / Party for Socialism and Liberation.

CHIRLA has the EIN of 954421521. Most of its private funding appears to be from DAFs, which are the hardest to trace. However 34 million of its reported 45 million in revenue are from government grants.

The riots are paid for by USAID types.

That's why Trump should just deploy the Guard to protect federal facilities in LA, and only assist with protecting the rest of the city if he gets a formal request from the State. "Newsom and Bass say they have LA under control. It doesn't look like that to me, but maybe burning the city down is what the voters want. I believe in separation of powers, so I'll protect the Federal stuff, and they can protect their stuff. If they can't do it and need help, all they have to do is ask."

That's exactly what Trump is doing.

The NG is there to protect ICE and federal buildings. They are providing perimeters.

The three-square blocks were rioters are being allowed space to destroy are not being approached by the NG. So, the rioters are being allowed space to light electric cars on fire to hurt the environment, and the left is calling this a victory.

247 That's why Trump should just deploy the Guard to protect federal facilities in LA, and only assist with protecting the rest of the city if he gets a formal request from the State. "Newsom and Bass say they have LA under control. It doesn't look like that to me, but maybe burning the city down is what the voters want. I believe in separation of powers, so I'll protect the Federal stuff, and they can protect their stuff. If they can't do it and need help, all they have to do is ask."

288 We saw "Ballerina" yesterday.

It's a tremendous amount of fun. Just a great action movie that just builds and builds, getting more crazy as it goes along. I could give some examples but that would just spoil the fun. Go in blind if you can.

The story's more or less a John Wick story with a little girl training and growing up to be an assassin to get revenge on the man who killed her father.

I suppose you could see a bit of girl boss if you wished but early on there's a training scene where a male trainee just keeps whipping her butt and she complains that she can't win cuz he's bigger and stronger, so-

Eve's trainer tells her that everyone is bigger than her so she needs to cheat, exploit her opponents weaknesses, don't try to fight fair, fight with anything and everything she can, improvise

"Ballerina" takes that bit of advice to the max and that's what makes the movie so fun.

Eve often finds herself in a bad spot but then uses whatever she can to get out of it. One great thing about the movie is that once Eve finds a weapon to even the odds, she keeps using it in wilder ways until she no longer can.

Excellent summer action flick with a John Wick bonus.

Check it out.

I think it's more about Trump reigning in executive agencies, making them accountable to him instead of "independent".

People have swam in the idea that executive agencies are rightfully independent of the president (ie, the people) for decades.

Of course, it's been a crock of shit. They're deeply dependent on Democrat presidents and Republican presidents when the Republican president says the right thing. But the fiction remains.

It's a marketing coup.

But riots never play well with the public. It's not their marketing coup.

If CNN wanted to downplay it, they'd just stop covering it, but they think it's helping them for some reason.

315 Eve's trainer tells her that everyone is bigger than her so she needs to cheat, exploit her opponents weaknesses, don't try to fight fair, fight with anything and everything she can, improvise

"Ballerina" takes that bit of advice to the max and that's what makes the movie so fun.

Eve often finds herself in a bad spot but then uses whatever she can to get out of it. One great thing about the movie is that once Eve finds a weapon to even the odds, she keeps using it in wilder ways until she no longer can.

Excellent summer action flick with a John Wick bonus.

Check it out.

The Morning Report — 6/ 10 /25

MurphysLore.jpg

Good morning kids. When you consider what's happening in LA and evidently breaking out or ready to break out elsewhere, I suppose it could be worse. Instead of rioting against law enforcement and the removal of alien invaders, They could be rioting against those who oppose the imposition of Sharia Law and the Islamization of America. Worse still, rioting in order to impose it. Looking at what's happening in Europe, that is a likely scenario here within perhaps a decade or two at the outside. With Muslims and Leftists, at least for the present, tied at the hip with a kind of Molotov/Ribbentrop pact as they each carve up Poland. The only difference in the analogy is that the Leftists view the Muslims as allies in perpetuity not realizing that once America as founded is destroyed, the Leftists will be first to lose their heads or have their courtesy homosexual flying lesson off of the top of the Freedom Tower or Washington Monument.

In light of what's happening here this link from yesterday tends to resonate rather frighteningly.

Do We Really Want NATO Countries to Spend More on Weapons?


Current projections indicate significant growth in the Muslim populations of these three critical NATO members by 2050. The Pew Research Center, in its “Europe’s Growing Muslim Population“ report, projects that under a “medium migration” scenario, the Muslim population in France could reach approximately 17-18% of the total, the UK could reach around 16.7%, and Germany approximately 10.8%. Under a “high migration” scenario, Germany’s Muslim population could reach about 20%, France’s 18%, and the UK’s close to 20%. These are substantial shifts from their current proportions.

And 113 Dems vote No on resolution to condemn the anti-semitic terror attack on Jews in Boulder CO. Lots of resonating, yo.

God bless and protect President Trump, for having both the courage and wisdom in calling up the National Guard as well as the Marines to protect life and property in Los Angeles. The Left is now escalating the conflict by openly calling up its cadres in NYC, San Francisco, Nashville, Florida and elsewhere. There is no way in hell that this is some sort of organic protest movement. Someone or some group somewhere is organizing, directing and funding what amounts to a violent insurrection by using the legitimate actions of ICE and law enforcement in the apprehension and deportation of illegal aliens, be they dangerous criminals as an alarmingly large number are or merely foreign nationals on our soil without permission, as cover to destabilize if not actually overthrow the government. If not in one fell swoop then by creating a sense of fear and panic among the citizenry that their government cannot protect them and that it and the MAGA movement, and anything other than the Democrat Party is totalitarian/fascistic etc. etc. etc. as has been broadcast 24/7/365 ever since Trump descended the Trump Tower escalator and was sworn in.

And make no mistake, the Democrat Party itself is up to its degenerate evil rotten neck in this all the way.

“I mean, my first message is to keep it peaceful,” Murphy declared. “I mean, obviously, this is a moment where we have to be on the streets all over the country to protest what’s happening to our immigrant community, but more broadly, to protest what’s happening to our democracy. This is the most corrupt administration in the history of the country, and we are going to rise to this moment by being out there on the streets.”

Chris Murphy. Who the fuck does this subhuman degenerate scumbag traitorous tyrant think he's fooling. Certainly not the average, law-abiding normal American citizen. Whom he and his ilk only seek out like Dracula seeks out the jugular vein of an unsuspecting victim.


Now some cruelty, and truth, from the man who knows how to dish it up, Victor Davis Hanson:

What triggered the American Civil War were state officials who refused to honor federal law and instead boasted of their open defiance of Washington.

That precedent apparently is the incendiary model for the weird, but dangerous recent behavior of an increasingly unhinged California Governor Gavin Newsom.

He is currently supporting the often-violent protestors in Los Angeles and their resistance to federal officials’ enforcement of immigration laws.

Newsom claimed that Trump’s use of ICE to detain those here illegally in the U.S. was “reckless”, “chaotic” and “eroding trust”.

Does he think that his own rhetoric is creating calm and building trust by opposing the lawful enforcement of federal statutes? Or is he following the baleful model of arch-Confederate rebel Jefferson Davis? . . .

. . . Does the governor grasp that his reckless states’ rights rhetoric empowers violent protestors who torch cars, pelt passersbys, and assault officers?

Take, for example, fellow California Democrat, Congresswoman Norma Torres. She just messaged federal immigration officers with the obscene threat,“Get the f— out of LA.”

Does Torres believe that Los Angeles should become a modern-day South Carolina of 1861, boasting that it will defy the federal government?

Is Torres echoing Democrat and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries? He just boasted that he would dox endangered ICE agents, publishing their personal information and revealing their identities (“Every single one of them, no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes, will of course be identified.”.

How exactly does Rep. Torres think she is going to get federal officers “the f— out of LA”?

To paraphrase her mentor Comrade Stalin, How many divisions does Torres have?


I have a great deal of admiration and respect for Christopher Rufo, but his essay entitled Trump Should Crush the L.A. Riots—with a Subtle Hand, How the president can restore order and win the war for visual symbolism, makes no sense. I invite him to define the word "subtle" in the context of this situation. Love you, brother, but we're not engaged in a debate on stage at Oxford. The Leftists doing this to us do not want a debate. They want us dead or subjugated. The only response to tyranny is to destroy it utterly.

Dear friend and friend of the blog, the wonderful, witty and wise Michael Walsh has got the right idea:

The consequences of America's failure to act on its victory in the Cold War, so carelessly thrown away by the Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations, are now playing out, first in the judiciary and now in the streets. What started as legal challenges in federal courts across the land has turned into open rebellion, to which has now been added foreign interference in America's internal affairs. It's a powderkeg, but this time the Left will either step down or be put down. . .

. . . the self-induced "plight" of the illegal aliens has not been helped by their penchant for waving the Mexican flag and sporting the "Palestinian" tablecloth called a keffiyeh around their neck as they set cars afire. Call it the Thunbergian Unified Field Theory of Revolution: a synthesis of "climate change," Gaza, Jew hatred, "immigration," and playing hooky from school. Nor has the Mexican president Claudia Shinebaum helped matters by supporting the "rights" of her illegals in the U.S. and encouraging their continuing theft of American resources via remittances sent back home. Tax those at 100% percent and watch the illegal-invasion problem largely vanish overnight. Meanwhile, the public is solidly behind Trump. Americans love nothing than a righteous, thumping beat-down of the bad guys. For the violent insurrectionist Left, it's been a long time coming. The last time Democrats resisted an election and nullified federal law began in 1861 at Fort Sumter, ended four years later at Appomattox. Let's see how they choose to play it this time.

Excellent essay, but when Walsh asserts ". . . the Left will either step down or be put down." my reaction is they will never ever step down, so that begs the question, how will they be put down?

Given their delusions of being Good and of us and all who oppose them as Evil, where "by any means necessary" is their call to arms to save democracy, the planet, the future, Pete Buttigieg's right to lactate cockroach milk, or whatever. That gives them the insane illusory right to claim and foist their mythological status as having absolute moral authority to do anything to anyone at any time.

And so, if they are to be put down, which regrettably is clearly the case, I ask by whom because to do so requires their complete political/societal/cultural if not literal physical annihilation, once and for all. Pace Chris Rufo, there is no subtle way to eradicate cancer. You either cut it out or it ultimately kills you.

For sure, be it foreign actors in Mexico or Beijing, the likes of George Soros et al, or Domestic anti-American groups (Antifa, BLM, SJP, CAIR, ELF, trade unions and the Democrat Party itself) the DOJ and FBI need to RICO the living shit out of them, prosecute their leadership, seize their assets and dismantle them like that other Democrat group the KKK was dismantled.

If not, La Raza will reconquista us into La GAZA if we don't stop this now, and mercilessly.

If Homan and Trump don't want to arrest Newsom and Bass, can they at least grab this dame in Minnesota and get her a window seat on the first flight out on Aerolineas Pinochet?

A Democrat lawmaker in the Minnesota state House of Representatives admitted during a floor debate on Monday that she is an illegal immigrant. State Representative Kaohly Vang Her (D), during a debate on expanding illegal immigrant eligibility for MinnesotaCare, revealed that her father had committed immigration fraud, listing his grandmother as his mother, as the latter was deceased.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Have a great day.

3 I'm pissed off that Patel, Bongino, Bondi et al are lying about "Oh We Will Bust Bad People" when they beg and plead to identify some brick thrower.

For crying out loud, there are all kinds of people who have done the leg work and investigation and have documented for ages the money behind these riots.

What is worse, Newscum is sort of correct when he calls the riots "Trump's Chaos" because we know that the CIA and US Taxdollars are underwritring and guiding these riots.

Why can't Trump tell his damned CIA director to cut this shit and quit waging war against We The People?

24 someone on bsky made this point yesterday: More protesters should carry or wear the American flag to remind the fascist police that they are fighting with US citizens.

that's a means to undermine the protesters and it smells like right wing talking points. They can carry any flag they please.

fostering Mexican pride has always been important to these communities in order to counter oppressive white racism. Carrying a Mexican flag is nothing more than a show of this pride, not unlike how the Pride flag is used to show pride in the LGBTQ+ community. Unfortunately, MAGA would interpret this as a show of support for some sort of invasion.

There is a history of fear Mexico wanted their territory back. More projection from xenophobic zombies.

They don't care. They are fascist bootlickers full of anger and fear and they get great pleasure from beating unarmed people.

The California Guard probably cares. They probably signed up for skills training, a bit of extra money, and the pride of serving. I guarantee they did not sign up to turn their weapons on fellow Californians.

29 Excellent essay, but when Walsh asserts ". . . the Left will either step down or be put down." my reaction is they will never ever step down, so that begs the question, how will they be put down?

Remember those 'protestors' throwing rocks and concrete off a bridge and the cop who is near death?

The moment the first rock was dropped, any exit from that bridge should have been blocked off. Then a fly-by to drop a couple of block busters to blow the bridge and its occupants to hell.

I guarantee you the first - and only - shots and use of deadly force will come from the rioters. The NG and Marines won't be told to stand down, but they will be ordered not to use real ammunition under any provocation.

What a sick, arrogant, racist asshole. There is no such thing as an "undocumented immigrant". An immigrant comes here legally and there is a lot of paperwork involved.

Even illegal aliens are heavily documented, yet they are not "immigrants" they are invaders and trespassers, and in far too many cases, enemy combatants.

It is funny to see the cogs grinding as they try to generate courses of action from their diametrically opposed interest groups. "We need to fly American flags to get the American people behind us", "we need to fly foreign flags in solidarity", etc.

Normally, there would be a quick NPC patch sent out to unify the message, but that takes some time, and it can be hard to coordinate the actions of the Frankenstein's monster which is the rioters Leftists have created. Sargon of Akkad just talked about Reddit posts showing tons of brand new, still creased American flags popping up all over the LA protesters, though, so someone is investing in turning the optics around.

Word got back to Trump, who was appalled and decided to formalize the amicable separation in the WH ceremony (the body language and verbal exchange suggested this to me). Once free of the DC shackles, Musk had a spaz attack and launched his twitter-bursts on Trump. Not accustomed to losing or not fixing the problem in front of him, essentially not being the one in control of his destiny, he lost it and lashed out. The inner child is strong in him, which in his case is not a bad thing.

I believe that this is a true statement and the greatest indictor that the nation is lost. Best that the rest of us cut places like Cali loose and be prepared to go to war against them rather than continuing to allow them to tax us to pay for their efforts to destroy us.

Hiring freeze at DOJ til Jul 15 (that's when new folks can come onboard b/c they weren't one of the excluded from Trump's original EO). They even now have a hiring post out, so I expect them onboard on that date.

Many departments are 50%-70% or more down in active lawyers, which is good b/c the zealots are gone. But there's only so many folks now, and prioritizing the appeals for ALL of the court cases and getting cases dropped from the Biden admin has been priority.

Give them 6 months - to wait out the freeze, hire in, and get the newbies settled and ready to go. Then blame Bondi. Right now, she's still working with 1.5 hands tied behind her back...

108 If all electrical power to CA from other states is blocked, CA would be in a lot of trouble. It would be an own goal for CA.

That end state is inevitable. If one squints to find the silver lining in the LA Riots, more and more Producers will take this as yet another clue that they ought to resume their operations anywhere other than CA, IL and NY.

This takes time and motivation. The insurrection and enemy take-over of California can only go in one direction: down; they will make ZA look like government paradise in comparison.

When California has ejected enough Producers, then it will, as nature would seem to dictate, fail, and fail spectacularly. I just hope that enough tax paying Americans maintain even a smidgen of self-preservation and cut California off.

But Mimetic Theory and the effectiveness of propaganda says otherwise.

What's there to reevaluate? We always knew who he was...an ally whose interests aligned with us at the right moment in history...never a friend or even a good guy. Women have known that forever.

111 I've been thinking lately that Musk did indeed get into a scuffle with a high-ranking cabinet member, probably Bessant (as rumored). Word got back to Trump, who was appalled and decided to formalize the amicable separation in the WH ceremony (the body language and verbal exchange suggested this to me). Once free of the DC shackles, Musk had a spaz attack and launched his twitter-bursts on Trump

this really makes sense, Ordinary American! very interesting. that ceremony was full of strange body language (and regular language)...

They absolutely know some. Some of the links were posted here yesterday, copied from X posts by Data republican. But that's just some.

For 4 years under the Biden administration billions were paid by the federal government to enable the invasion. Groups like Catholic Charities and many others got paid millions and in some cases 100s of millions to bring these people in. State governments in places like CA gave them rent, food, jobs, drivers license and healthcare.

That's just some. Hell, Biden literally chartered planes to fly illegals into the US from places like Venezuela, Haiti and Cuba. Over 100,000 military age men from China came into the country. Jihadis were allowed into the country. All of this was done on purpose by the feds and certain bureaucrats, state governments and people like Soros and even the UN. It's a enormous conspiracy and what's happening in CA is just one result.

They brought them here for a reason. They aren't going to let them go without a fight.

I’ve really enjoyed his, and their, perspectives, especially about the state of England and the EU.

It just shows me we are not alone, worldwide, in this battle against the relentless globalist left.

167 The left and clown world have also "cornered" MAGA in that there are just under 4 years to turn this around. We see our "future" with them in Canada, the EU, especially the going extinct UK and the COVID Karen Control on our own soil, we all lived through. The North could have just pressed on and had their way of life in the 1860's. They didn't. This time we all know they won't just leave MAGA in peace, even for 4 years. For the first time younger generations have real hope of something like the American dream. Something personal worth fighting for. Yet the left just keep poking the party of young men because thug tactics could flourish in the past and grift is sweet. I believe this is more of a powder keg than they realize because there is real leverage against the left this time. The civil war comparisons are astute.

Stopping the riots it’s actually the necessary but trivial act required now; but fully identifying and destroying the shadow network behind them is the critically important task.

I don't believe that. Wasn't true in the 60s when groups like the Weathermen and the Black Panthers were leading race riots and bombing buildings. They looked formidable then, until they weren't.

The truth is many have not been heading the warnings that have been obvious for years. People laughed at groups like the WEF who would meet every year to talk about the coming one world socialist paradise they would control. People went on with their lives while those scumbags implemented their policies to get where we are today. Not just here, look at the EU. Same shit is happening. Same in Canada. It's not a coincidence, it was a plan. Why did the UN have migrant camps along the path from Latin America to the US? Because it was part of the plan.

We are just beginning to fight back and understand this wasn't some vast rightwing conspiracy theory. It is in fact a conspiracy. I don't for a second think Gavin Newsom and AOC are our inevitable future.

Maybe we should try fighting back for more than a couple months before we give in.

Prodding the California LE to take the lead on this takes the heat off the federal authorities and the administration for it. I doubt it matters who actually does the arrests, the CA legal system will spring them anyway.

I always suspected that one of the goals of these riots was to goad the federal authorities into a "no-win" set of circumstances so it could be used against Trump's administration and lead to more lawfare.

Finding and prosecuting the financiers behind all this shit is probably more important than arresting rioters who'll be out on bail in hours.

Not surprised -- have read that illegals have taken over black neighborhoods in LA. When you accept a narrative that this is a 'racist white person' problem, it ignores many other Americans who've been screwed over by open borders. Trump spoke to them in 2025, and that's why he won.

In the first 4 months of Trump's presidency, the foreign born population has gone down by 750,000 and the foreign born involvement in the workforce has gone down by 1,000,000.

And that's with ICE being its current size, without the expansion in the OBBB, and most of the 4 months just spinning up operations. Asylum claims are done, the 500,000 granted by Biden already on their way out, and inward immigration coming to an effective end. Visas are expiring and more people who would have gone anyway are going.

And, in the middle of this, is Maria, the honest illegal immigrant who thinks working as a maid in the US is better than her life in Guatemala who sees riots and raids and decides...she should just go back now.

The answer is: "With counterinsurgency". Call it a "conspiracy theory" all you want, but that seems to be what's been going on since Trump rode the famous escalator. His current term has the feel of a military operation. Speaker Johnson referred to himself as a "wartime Speaker" early on, and nobody bothered to ask him what the hell that was supposed to mean. It means there's a secret war going on. Duh.

The declassified “Special Analysis” report by U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies from February 2022 revealed that “61 percent” of all alleged domestic terrorism-related cases being investigated by the FBI at the time were related to the Capitol riot, and that “78 percent” of arrests allegedly tied to domestic terrorism in 2021 in fact stemmed from the singular riot in early January 2021.

427 Friendly reminder from the Christian corner. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood. In a spiritual sense a terrific battle is raging for a lot of these souls. The desire to succumb to the demonic hatred of mankind (there are no others), consuming selfishness (there is just my reality), and ultimately spiritual rebellion (I am my own God) seems to have turned into a generational issue, however, and the impotent rage it breeds inevitably looks for release on the lives of innocent, law abiding people. Praying for their freedom and for the spirit to move.

I think it was the Pechanga tribe. There was a Hot Air commenter whose grandmother had been adopted out of the tribe because she was an orphan, and when she tried to enroll in the tribe as an adult, they wouldn't let her. It seems they'd figured out that the less pieces of the pie they had to slice, the bigger their pie pieces would be. So trying to foist the entirety of Los Angeles on them probably wouldn't work. But it would be really funny to watch!

I was complaining yesterday that English was clearly her second language , but it did make me laugh when she said, "I am in silence here doing my work" which sounds like some sort of Eastern meditative practice and spouse and I got some humor from politically incorrect language ( sorry!) from saying -and imagine some Indian accent here -"I am in silence here doing my work, to try to explain the mysteries of internet connection to you stupid American dolts" and such like comments .

The Kraken
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Below the thunders of the upper deep,
Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
About his shadowy sides; above him swell
Huge -->sponges
And far away into the sickly light,
From many a wondrous grot and secret cell
Unnumbered and enormous polypi
Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.
There hath he lain for ages, and will lie
Battening upon huge sea worms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

Usually a value coming back from a function call that doesn't fit at all with what is expected, and how to handle a situation like that (in the exception handler part) isn't properly written because the programmer was of the mindset "Well that will never happen" or "That's impossible, I won't worry about it."

Haha, no. It's always possible and it will eventually happen. Code your exception handlers accordingly.

Also, never code your impossible exceptions to throw very crudely worded messages to your end-user. *cough* I may have learned that lesson the hard way.

"giggity giggity" is a verbal tick of a character, Glenn Quagmire, in "Family Guy"

Glenn Quagmire, who is usually referred to by his surname, is a fictional character from the American adult animated sitcom Family Guy. He is a neighbor and friend of the Griffin family and is best known for his hypersexuality and his catchphrase, "Giggity Giggity". The show's creator and voice actor Seth MacFarlane describes him as "an appalling human being who is still caught in the Rat Pack era" based on anachronistic 1950s party-animal clichés.


It's the cartoon equivalent of Matthew McConaughey saying, "all right, all right, all right" when he starred as David Wooderson, another skeevy character, in the 1993 film "Dazed and Confused".

Here endeth the cultural catch phrases lesson.

104 I think part of the reason so many near-illiterates use "impact(ed)" instead of "affect(ed)" is that the latter got confused with "effect." Even though "effect" is usually a noun and "affect" is a verb. (There's a specialized use of "affect" as a noun, to mean "emotional response," but that's not part of everyday English. "Effect" can also be a verb, but it's rarer now.)

"The rainy weather affected the picnic." (Verb)

"The rainy weather had an effect on the picnic." (Noun)

"Impact" is also supposed to be a noun. But in the continual enverbification of English nouns, it got co-opted (from an adjective, as in "impacted wisdom tooth") to mean "affected."

107 USAGE
The phrasal verb impact on, as in ‘when produce is lost, it always impacts on the bottom line’, has been in the language since the 1960s. Many people disapprove of it despite its relative frequency, saying that make an impact on or other equivalent wordings should be used instead. New formations of verbs from nouns (as in the case of impact) are often regarded as somehow inferior

I'm patiently transcribing bibliographies of legacy publications on metallocene polymerization catalysts from Word and Excel documents into EndNote. I have about 5000 of them to do and I've gotten maybe 10% of them done. I also have to get a list of articles from about 2020 to 2025 from SciFinder, but I need to fix my account with Chemical Abstract Services.

Google Scholar is a big help. Copy the DOI or title into the search box and the bibliography comes up. There's a link to import the reference into EndNote, which is the work of a moment.

Of course, once that's done, how do I get the publications themselves? There are a few available on Research Gate and similar repositories, and some are in open-access journals, but the great bulk of them would otherwise require purchase, at about $50 an article. Don't think that's happening. Patents, which have no copyright, are so much easier to work with.

I've also purchased what I hope is a used version of ChemDraw so I can do the drawings.

201 And when that conspicuous truck drove through the streets of LA in the wee hours of the morning it was recorded by countless cameras, some of which have license plate scanning software to identity the specific vehicle and registration.


There is open source software that has been available for years that will allow you to drive through a parking lot with your phone camera capturing parked car after car after car. The OCR software is prety good for captuing the plates into processable text, and good but still improving on determining make, model, year and color of the car with that license plate.

That is, the tech to do ALPR is everywhere there is a phone.

In recent days, violent mobs have attacked ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles, California.

These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States.

In the wake of this violence, California’s feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens.

That is why President Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester.

The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs.

These criminals will be arrested and swiftly brought to justice.

The Commander-in-Chief will ensure the laws of the United States are executed fully and completely.

Making Danny Noonan Proud

Dentist Who Caddied There as a Kid Just Qualified to Play in the US Open on the Same Course

doof-Dentist-US-Open.jpg

As the emotions were about to erupt from his eyes, Matt Vogt tried not to cry.

Matt Vogt (pronounced ‘vote’ ) grew up outside of Pittsburgh and spent his teenage years working as a caddy at the famous Oakmont Country Club. That course is hosting professional golf’s 125th U.S. Open next week. And thanks to a sequence of events that seems stolen from Hollywood, Vogt will be playing in it.

Ranked way down at 1,173 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, Matt works as a dentist in Indianapolis—but he shot 8-under par to win the U.S. Open’s Final Qualifying tournament in Washington state last weekend, earning himself a trip back to his hometown to star in golf’s national championship.

Vogt, who played college golf at Butler University in Indiana, advanced through local qualifying earlier in the spring, then won this year’s Indianapolis Open.

Happy Anniversary, Secretariat
(H/T to Cheri in comments from this morning's Art Thread)

June 9, 1973 – Secretariat wins the Triple Crown at Belmont Stakes.

doof-secretariat-1973.jpg

Wikipedia article

Secretariat (March 30, 1970 – October 4, 1989), also known as Big Red, was a champion American thoroughbred racehorse who was the ninth winner of the American Triple Crown, setting and still holding the fastest time record in all three of its constituent races. He became the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and his record-breaking victory in the Belmont Stakes, which he won by 31 lengths, is often considered the greatest race ever run by a thoroughbred racehorse. During his racing career, he won five Eclipse Awards, including Horse of the Year honors at ages two and three. Widely regarded as one of the greatest racehorses of all time, he was nominated to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1974. In the Blood-Horse magazine List of the Top 100 U.S. Racehorses of the 20th Century, Secretariat was second to Man o' War.



The legend of Secretariat was on full display at this year's Kentucky Derby

Florida Man Woman
(H/T to Anonosaurus Wrecks in comments from last night's Gun Thread)

Gainesville woman charged with rape after allegedly buying drinks for victim and manipulating him into returning to her apartment

Eryn Michelle Lane, 25, was arrested yesterday and charged with sexual assault after allegedly buying drinks for a man and manipulating him into returning to her apartment.

The victim told an Alachua County Sheriff’s Detective that he was friends with Lane at the time of the incident, and he was aware that Lane was interested in a romantic and sexual relationship with him, but he had made it clear that he was not attracted to her and had no intention of being romantic with her.

In early January, a group went out drinking, including Lane and the victim, and the victim said Lane picked him up in her car; at the bar, he said, Lane bought him shots and drinks, and at one point, he reminded her that he was not interested in her and she reassured him that nothing would happen between them.

The victim said that when the group left the bar, Lane refused to let their designated driver drive her car unless the victim agreed to come to her apartment; the victim said she threatened to drive drunk and crash the car if he did not agree, and he gave in after an argument that lasted about 30 minutes. He said he continued to drink at her apartment and then woke up next to Lane in her bed. He said Lane asked him if he wanted to go “round two,” and he demanded that she take him home.

Several witnesses corroborated the victim’s account of the evening, and one friend and one ex-boyfriend reportedly said that Lane is a “pathological liar.”

Post Miranda, Lane reportedly confirmed that she had intercourse with the victim but said he initiated it; she said she told him he was too drunk, but he insisted, which reportedly contradicted her statements to other friends immediately after the incident. She initially denied buying drinks for the victim but later changed her answer when confronted with statements from other witnesses. She said she wanted the victim to come back to her apartment for his safety and that everyone involved was “conspiring against her and this is why her statement is different than everyone else’s.”

The remarkable thing about Big Red's victory in the Belmont is not the 31 length margin he won by. It's that he shattered the time for a mile and a half by more than two seconds. No horse has come within two seconds of that time since then.

Hand ride all the way. Turcotte never even showed him the whip.

Just as amazing to watch the Preakness. Secretariat is last going into the clubhouse turn and going to the outside just blows by everyone in a few seconds.

Individually the musicians of Rush are fantastic. But every song I've ever heard from them is a tuneless showpiece for their skills. The drummer goes crazy for a bit, then the guitar, etc. It never comes together into anything resembling a tune. They really needed someone to rein them in and lead them in a common direction.

Going to disagree with this to an extent.

The people directing the activities knew what they were doing that I agree, but the people breaking the fences down generally did not.

As one current example, I know plenty of LIVs upset about ICE/deportations. Do they actually care about the "immigration rights" of the invaders? Oh hell no. They want cheap nannies/gardeners/whatever. But these people, unlike the ones leading the NGO/and office holders aren't doing this because they want to break America they just want cheap services.

And you can see this dynamic in any number of cultural changes over the years from abortion, to globohomo, to the war on poverty and on and on.

The leadership of the enemy come up with attractive ways to sell poison to people, who then eagerly swallow it thinking they are getting candy.

107 Clips from an insane substack DU is discussing (Newsom is mostly not liked):

If Newsom Wants the White House, He Needs to Show Up in the Streets...he should start by walking into the crowd downtown. Face the people. Let the cameras roll. Dare them to arrest you. At this moment, that’s not political theater—it’s leadership the people are craving...

Gavin Newsom doesn’t need another interview or press release. He needs a moment.

Imagine the governor of California—surrounded by National Guard troops and riot police—walking into a crowd of peaceful protesters holding an American flag. Not flanked by aides. Not behind a podium. There with the people. Present. Daring the system to turn its power on him the way it has on so many others...

This is Newsom’s state—and Trump is invading it. These are his people. And if he wants to lead a nation, this is the test. Walk into the crowd. Face the cameras. Dare them to arrest you.

That’s not political theater. That’s how presidents are born.

143 Can't agree with you on Ringo, but I do think Copeland is one of the very best ever. Posted by: Doof

Steward Copland disagrees with you about Ringo: "Copeland says. “I’m sitting with him at a dinner, and we start talking bass drums”. Copeland is charming, although he gets a little assertive when we ask why Ringo has been underrated by the general public. “He isn’t.” And then Copeland starts again: “At long last, he’s being appreciated for the musician he is. Normally, singers and guitarists just want a backbeat: ‘Give us a simple backbeat, nothing flashy.’ Ringo did more than that, and it was refreshing to hear a drummer who did.”

I've heard it said, even by drummers, that Ringo Starr is a human metronome with the sticks. Ringo was the 'Beat' in the 'Beatles'.

Even though he sounds simple or even basic at first, the more you listen to Ringo, the more amazed you become. What a solid drummer. And as you show, very underrated. Like everything else, flash gets the press but slow and steady wins the race. For all kinds of reasons, Rush will never be listed in the same category of influence as The Beatles. Ringo is one of four reasons why.

193 The part of the golf story they didn't tell, is the part where Matt Vogt got into dentistry in the first place because, while working as a caddy, Vogt was struck in the mouth by a client's backswing and needed three surgeries to repair his jaw. The young Vogt bonded with his oral surgeon and determined to help others in the same way. "Nobody should go through life without being able to bite an apple," Vogt has said.

Probably the reason they don't tell that part of the story is because it isn't true. I would accept this as an excuse, except they run not-true stories all the time, and sometimes the stories aren't even very good.

This story about Vogt taking up dentistry because of a freak golf accident and the intervention of a kindly oral surgeon is a good story, and they should report it.

Almost all human athletic records have been broken multiple times over the last 50 years. (The rare exceptions are like the women's 800m track record, where the East German "lady" had more testosterone than any three Morons combined.)

Why do Secretariat's records still stand? Especially when we do selective breeding of horses for improved performance.

200 Ringo’s solo career music was a lot better than Lennon’s imho. At least comparing their hits.
Posted by: polynikes at June 09, 2025 10:50 PM (VofaG)


If you're gooing to go with solo careers post-Beatles, you have to give it to Paul. Even a hit with a 'James Bond' film opening theme song. That's pretty diverse. His band, Wings, was a huge commercial success. You have to hand it to Paul for that, and I think he was instrumental (pun intended) in The Beatles' commercial success as well. George had his solo songs, and I had one of his albums (the only solo post-Beatles album I bought) but of the 4, Paul's been # 1 post-Beatles. Him being still alive helps, too.

But Ringo still gets the accolades.

209 Concur. Ringo is a musician's musician or a drummer's drummer. Ringo was profoundly original. He has a genus for coming up with drum parts that were identifiable as a great guitar riff. Ticket to Ride for example. Then there is how utterly filled out the Beatles sound/arrangements: Dear Prudence.

210 143 Can't agree with you on Ringo, but I do think Copeland is one of the very best ever. Posted by: Doof

Steward Copland disagrees with you about Ringo: "Copeland says. “I’m sitting with him at a dinner, and we start talking bass drums”. Copeland is charming, although he gets a little assertive when we ask why Ringo has been underrated by the general public. “He isn’t.” And then Copeland starts again: “At long last, he’s being appreciated for the musician he is. Normally, singers and guitarists just want a backbeat: ‘Give us a simple backbeat, nothing flashy.’ Ringo did more than that, and it was refreshing to hear a drummer who did.”

I'm appreciating Ringo's abilities more and more as time goes on. I've been listening to Abbey Road again lately, and Ringo's drumming perfectly complements the other musicians around him. He's solid and steady, but you hear his contributions if you listen closely. I'd switch Bonham for Starr myself, but Ringo just might be more influential than all the others.

224 Newsom attempts to do the "engage with the crowd" photo op, when an errant spark from a burning dumpster lands on his head.
His hair gel instantly ignites, and the world looks on horrified as he runs screaming in the street, trailing flaming gobs of petroleum products.
He is finally tackled by an elderly veteran, who throws him down to the pavement, holds him down with one foot, and calmly unbuttons his fly and proceeds to urinate on the Governor's head with a mighty flow, extinguishing the blaze.
As the shaken Newsom is bundled into an ambulance, the old vet is asked how he had managed to produce such a copious amount of piss.
He shrugs and says, "They got a new Jane Fonda urinal sticker for the restroom in the VFW. I've been saving it up all day, just for her. Now hand me my cane and get out of my way, cause now I need a beer."

235 The solo careers for the ex-Beatles was a mixed bag. They could never duplicate the singular magic. How could they it seems.

McCartney worked and toured regularly and had some hits. Looking back at his book it is all well crafted but meh to my ear. He really came into his own with the 2000ish band he is still touring with. Mind blowing live act.

Lennon was a train wreck in the early 70s - Ono threw him out and he spent years drunk with Nielsen and it shows. After that he mostly retired until Double Fantasy. We can only imagine what would have come next. Imagine is arguably his best album.

Harrison recorded a lot with mixed results until the Wilbury's. What a killer band, Harrison hit his peak there. After that pretty much quit playing and spent his time fussing around the garden.

Ringo, went right to making pop albums and touring. He became quite the front man and his Allstar bands were/are killer shows. He is so unassuming and so great.

The REAL story is that once, during a routine bi-annual tooth cleaning during his childhood, his dentist talked his mother into agreeing to an additional set of 360 degree xrays, purchasing a night guard, getting a mouth cancer screening test, a series of teeth whitening sessions, and an extended set of Invisalign (TM) braces, for a total cost of well over $4,000 of expenses—uncovered by insurance—over and above the cost of the tooth cleaning. After seeing the impressive revenue-generating potential of a life of dentistry, he dedicated himself to becoming a DDS.

One cop, checked his watch during the worst nutcase rant, hilarious. They've pushed them back in ratchet-fashion once or twice, now slowly shaping the crowd before dispersing it, presumably.

Sheriffs in a standoff at a different spot, even smaller event. Nothing happening, even stupid deranged rants. (apparently Ventura County sheriff's deputies, interesting)

The cops need a designated Trash Talker. A guy who stands just behind the line, selectively insulting individuals. Goal is to make the protester go berserk, have them charge the line, and give the cops a reason to grab them up.

Of course, the Trash Talker will need to be multilingual; fluent in English, Mexican, and Jive.

Posted by: Moonlight Bunny Ranch at June 09, 2025 11:58 PM (0eaVi)

423 If you want to try sleeping on a train I suggest booking a roomette over either bedroom option (this is on Amtrak of course). The difference is that a roomette has its (single) bunks aligned with the tracks, while the handicapped or regular bedroom has its beds aligned athwart the tracks. So in the roomette you are rocked side to side, which is actually soothing, whereas in the usual bedroom you are tipped head up, then feet up, which is quite unsettling. The family bedroom is a mixed bag of orientations for the beds, so someone is going to sleep the “wrong” way. Also the family bedroom is the most expensive, of course.

Job 2 - Answered ad in local paper. Laid off after a year, three months before getting married, company subsequently went bust.

Job 3 - Cold called people in local engineering society directory. It actually worked! Helped two others from Job 2 company find jobs there too.

Job 4 - 'Recruiter' called me. Found out years later he was referred to my by one of the Job 2 folks I'd helped

Job 5 - Fell into after friend from Job 4 left and went there as a temp guy and recommended me to them.

Job 6 - Expressed interest in joining company to a friend from there that I was working with. He had his boss open a requisition tailored to me.

Job 7 - Contacted by recruiter. Stayed almost 20 years.

438 Had an interesting, and busy, day today. Mowed a section of the lower yard. It's mostly done now. Went and hooked up the electric fuel pump for the Zip van. Installed fuel filters both upstream and downstream of the pump, and ran the power wire to a toggle switch on the dash. Pump runs, woot!

Friend came by with a 307 Chev engine to lay on me. Another guy with him. Guys grandson just bought a '62 Studebaker Daytona 2-door hardtop with 4-speed. I fixed him up with a 4-barrel manifold and gaskets.

Using my tractor, I lifted the 307 off Bruce's truck, and set it next to my engine stand.

Saw Patti Lupone quite a few times before she went nuts. Saw her in 'Anything Goes' and 'Evita'. Also in 'Witness', with Harrison Ford (non-singing role). Saw her many, many times sing the National Anthem(s) at Rangers games in the early to mid '80s (while she was on Broadway; usually Sunday night games).

When I saw that 'mask' theatrical drama, I just shook my head. Another liberal loonie.

M&C is still an excellent movie, by the way. I rewatched it not long ago and it's held up very well.

They took some Hollywood liberties with the characters (for one thing, Paul Bettany was far too pretty to play Doctor Maturin) but at least the characters were recognizably the same, and the filmmaking itself was top-notch.

The protests in SF are turning out to be essentially a premature elevator fart in an express car to the upper floors, only no on else got on. LA seems only marginally better, only 1 area on 101 was occupied. Apparently, a strong show of force by an authority not of CA is quite effective. Heh.

I heard one news talking head opine that the Mexican flag has become the symbol of the protests. Apparently not a good choice. Deportation is likely even more popular now.

Hang these results on Newsom, Bonta, Pelosi, Harris Bass and every other national Democrat politician.

I told them I won't even complain if you shitcan me in the first 90 days because you won't. 120 days later they're like. Here do all this shit nobody here knows how to do.
By trade I'm a heavy equipment mechanic. I'm too old and beaten up now to do it so I found administrative work which I turned out to be pretty good at. Then I got stupid and quit. Found this place from a temp agency after 9 months of no callbacks. Took a pretty big hit in pay but enough to get by on.
I deal with a lot of the higher ups and got my name out there hoping to show competence at everything I undertake. It worked. A couple of the guys went to bat for me and today I got a $4.50 raise and I'm going to work on pic and place machines.

I would be a terrible employee for the same reason I would be a lousy soldier-

I do not take orders well, and am not a Team Player.

513 Well, like I said a few posts later, I want to see far-left lunatics drag down the Democrat party, but not if it means they actually get control of some major cities.“

They’ve already got control of LA, San Fran, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Minneapolis, and a dozen others. But watching NYC self destruct might be the catalyst needed to overthrow this poison for good.

They should teach those in school. I was pointing out similarities to things I know on larger scales during my "interview"
Actually not everything is small. A lot of nitrogen generators. My experience with those is keep the filters really clean. A vaccuume system. I know very little about that. My guess is opposite of a compressor.
I'm pretty jazzed this is working out. I've never worked somewhere so clean. I wear white and... I've never been able to wear white.

Similar story with how I got my current gig. Managed AV integrations and if a crew member got sick, I had to fill the hole wiring an equipment rack or pulling cable. Local school district had openings for a school classroom tech.

I pulled the A+ computer study guide from the local library and crammed for a week before taking the entrance test. Passing grade was 80%. That got me to the second round of interviews, which got me to the final stage with the department director. He didn't think I had enough practical experience and turned me down. Fortunately, another position opened up a week later and since I was the last one left that had passed the entrance test, he hired me at that point. He did not regret it..

526 Continuing on the day's adventures, for those who are keeping score.

I used the tractor to move a bunch of junk car bodies and frames, so I could mow the tall grass, and eventually move the old motor coach that is full of parts back by its own length. Got in there with the mower, deck set up high, and got it partly mowed, and it threw the drive chain for the right wheel. Put it back on. Threw it again. Put it back on. Threw it again. Gave up. Put it back on, motored gingerly back to the barn. I am hearing a repetitive clunk every time the wheels go round. Sprockets are worn bad. I think this mower needs a drive train overhaui. Will park it, and move battery to to #1 Dixon mower.

542 Well, I am about done for the night. Got the driveshaft made, and installed in the Zip van, and it's a whopper, too. A full 19 inches long, it is. Cut the front yoke out of a Lark driveshaft, cut the tube way short, hammered the plug part of the yoke into the cut-off tube, and zapped it there with the stick welder. Looks like it belongs there. Tried to keep everything straight, using Mark I eyeball. Will see if it vibrates or not. It's a slow-moving vehicle, so I doubt a little imbalance in such a short shaft will be noticeable.

Tommorow, Zip van comes down off the blocks, gets water in the rad, fluid in the transmission, and gas in the tank, and I see if it will move itself.

572 Waited until it dropped down to 92 degrees. Fired up the riding mower and knocked down the grass in the front yard. All was well until I got a little too close to the chainlink fence and got the grass catcher tube hung up.
Bottom half of the tube assembly popped loose and swung into the spinning blades. It was noisy for a little while.
After I got disentangled from the fence and shut down the mower, I found the bottom tube was very well chewed.
Went to Amazon, ordered what I hope is a replacement.

Chilling with some donkeys.

2 Author Frederick Forsyth just died at age 86. He was a rare bestselling fiction author who didn't turn out to be an insufferable leftist (think John Grisham). In fact, some people point to Forsyth's plot in "The Fourth Protocol" of being quite prescient [in the novel, the USSR wants to take over the UK by making sure it controls the leaders of the Labour Party].

Blue states: We will NEVER cooperate with FASCISTS!

Homan: Okay, we're coming into your states and deporting anybody here illegally.

Blue citizens: We will STOP YOU!

Antifa dorks try to stop vehicles they can't legally stop. Antifa dorks get hurt.

My brother & his wife are basically foster parenting a pit-bull now.

'Spicey' won't give up a ball.
She wants you to pry this slobber covered ball (she has about 20 around the backyard) out of her vise-grip jaws.

Eventually she'll give up and drop it at your feet if you ignore her long enough.

She'll play fetch for so long that's she'll drink a half a bowl of water in one sitting when she's done.

This is why I've been known to get bored while baby-sitting. I once entertained a 5-year-old who went through rapid-fire, ENDLESS cycles of changing, feeding, and and napping a baby.

"Okay, let's change her now!"
"It's time for a nap!"
(one second later) "Time to eat!"

We must have gone through it, honestly, 40 times. I tried to break it by asking her what she likes to do at kindergarten and she gave me a blank look.

I should have turned on a video of baby elephants.

64 The question "Do penguins belong in art?" has long been debated. The early Greeks answered with a resounding "NON!", setting the trend for many years until the Renaissance, when certain French painters began incorporating poorly disguised Spheniscidae into their creations, masquerading as nuns and oddly shaped livestock. The Spanish Inquisition put an end to all of that, until early in the 20th century, when communist and Nazi sympathizing artists began blatantly incorporating mephitic messages in their mediums, including painting and carvings. These obscene objects merely set the stage for what was yet to come.

When I was a kid, like 8 or so, my parents had me visit the family of a girl who was like 7 (I think they were trying to connect us). Little Angela wanted to play house, which to her consisted of kissing me good bye in the morning and hello when I came home from work, which was basically a 10 second cycle.

I think she just wanted to kiss, and all I wanted was to go explore the orchard next to the house LOL

103 Those "No Kings" protests planned for Saturday 6/14 are spreading. There are multiple protests planned in each state, and they are the product of "Indivisible" which was founded by two card-carrying communists, Leah Greenberg and Ezra Klein.

Before the 2020 election they published a handbook called "Indivisible: A Practical Guide to Resisting the Trump Agenda." DataRepublican has the dirt on them.

104 All I can think of is Miss Lindsey squealing to the Capitol Police, "You have guns, use them!"

He was so scared he was probably peeing himself. Which brings up this question: why? Why be so afraid of the public? Why did they freak out so badly? They have a lot to hide and are scared of the public finally having enough and kicking down the doors of the capitol building. They are so terrified of it they freaked out when it was just a protest.

Not freaked out enough to change, mind you.

Maybe. But what is the alternative? California is ground zero for illegals and we all want them gone. Despite what leftists say now the rioting started last Friday when ICE started doing raids and arresting people. Just walking away from California and letting it burn is not a serious solution. Last I looked people from California are able to travel wherever they want in the US.

The LA police were not doing anything to assist or protect ICE. Should they have just been left to handle the mob by themselves? They carry weapons too but they would be badly outnumbered.

During the 92 LA riots Bush sent in both the Army and the Marines. I don't remember serious blowback on that. Various NG outfits have on the border for years.

No idea what they will be allowed to do but the LA police are hugely outnumbered and their political leaders have so far not allowed them to do much of anything other than stand around and watch and get rocks tossed at them.

Again, this is not the first rodeo for the NG or the military in these situations. It's a shitty situation caused by others but doing nothing is one of the dumbest ideas possible.

235 The new John Wicke style movie "Ballerina" only pulled in 25 million over the weekend. That's quite a bit of money in one context, but for a 90 million dollar movie its not very promising.

Theories are numerous but the main one seems to be that Hollywood has so annoyed people with noxious girl boss movies with women who can do no wrong humiliating men and defeating enemies three times their size that people just assume whatever comes out will just be more of that and give it a pass.

According to reviews, Ballerina is not that, at all. But by now who trusts Hollywood with a female lead? Especially in an action movie? I mean, when was the last good one, Aliens?

247 Evening, folken,

Earlier today I was trying to figure out the circumference inside a hat I want to sell on eBay. It's a little big on me, so I know it's got to be over size 7 US, but how far? There is no size tag. Putting a tape measure inside doesn't work too well, as it keeps slipping.

It turns out (according to the 'Net) there is no exact formula for the perimeter of an ellipse or oval. There are several ways to get approximations. Pi and a square root are both involved. I found a site with a calculator, entered the semi-major and semi-minor axes, and got 22.43 inches, about size 7 1/8 to 7 1/4.

When I tried doing the math myself I got about 66 inches, so I must have not divided by 3 or I must have multiplied somewhere by 3.

String and some masking tape. Tape one end of the string down to the inside of the hat that needs measuring leaving its tail end exposed. Next, tape the string down as you trace the circumference. When the string overlaps the initial spot mark the string with a sharpie. Undo everything and tape the string down on a flat surface and then measure it. Total time: 15 minutes max. Optimize as needed.

I'll try it. But the calculator gave me about what I expected.

Thanks for bringing that up, Salty. You're a very thoughtful man.
Prayer is very very important

As an old spiritual says we are all "standing in the need of prayer." Well, the rest of that song says,"It's me. It's me ,Lord . Standing in the need of prayer ". I am very blessed that from. s non religious family God came and saved me, and "Mike" accepting that love of God would I think help to make him a happier person.

True. I've had hats from major makers labeled 7 that were a fraction loose, and ones at 6 7/8 which were fine -- and others of the latter which were too tight and could be fixed by judicious stretching.

We saw "Ballerina" today.

It's a tremendous amount of fun. Just a great action movie that just builds and builds, getting more crazy as it goes along. I could give some examples but that would just spoil the fun. Go in blind if you can.

The story's more or less John Wick with a little girl training to be an assassin to get revenge on the man who killed her father.

I suppose you could see a bit of girl boss if you wished but early on there's a training scene where a male trainee just keeps whipping her butt and she complains that she can't win cuz he's bigger and stronger, so-

Eve's trainer tells her that everyone is bigger than her so she needs to cheat, exploit her opponents weaknesses, don't try to fight fair, fight with anything and everything she can, improvise

"Ballerina" takes that bit of advice to the max and that's what makes the movie so fun.

Eve often finds herself in a bad spot but then uses whatever she can to get out of it. One great thing about the movie is that once Eve finds a weapon to even the odds, she keeps using it in wilder ways until she no longer can.

Excellent summer action flick with a John Wick bonus.

Check it out.

Guess Who's Funding the Riots? You Are, Of Course!

@BillMelugin_

Rioters in LA now throwing fireworks at police horses.

Laura Powell reports that the federal and California government are funding anti-American terrorist group's riots.


Laura Powell
@LauraPowellEsq

EXCLUSIVE: Taxpayer-Funded Nonprofit Behind the Anti-ICE Riots in Los Angeles.

Over the past two days, ICE agents have conducted targeted operations across the Los Angeles region, detaining more than 40 suspected illegal aliens. These enforcement actions triggered large-scale demonstrations, some of which turned confrontational, with reports of vandalism, blocked traffic, and physical clashes with federal agents.

The unrest has prompted questions about who is organizing and funding these protests. One of the organizations at the center of the resistance to ICE is the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), a Los Angeles nonprofit that has long provided legal and advocacy services to illegal aliens. CHIRLA is known for radical positions on immigration--for example, it led a campaign to abolish ICE in 2018.

Yesterday afternoon, as clashes with federal law enforcement were heating up, CHIRLA Executive Director Angelica Salas held a press conference during which she announced that the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network's hotline had received more than 50 calls reporting ICE activity and sightings of "men in military garb." LARRN is organized by a coalition of nonprofits, and CHIRLA plays a central role, using its main phone line as the hotline number. LARRN's hotline is one of the communication systems that allows legal observers, volunteers, and other activists to be quickly dispatched to the scene of immigration enforcement actions.

During her remarks, Salas referred to SEIU California President David Huerta as her "brother," highlighting CHIRLA's close ties to organized labor in California. Huerta had been arrested during one of the protests for blocking the path of an ICE vehicle, as shown by video footage released by U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli. Governor Gavin Newsom expressed his unequivocal support for Huerta, claiming he was only "witnessing" the action, while Essayli announced his intention to file criminal charges.

For her part, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has defiantly opposed federal immigration enforcement in the city, stating on social media Friday, "We will not stand for this" and "No vamos a permitir estas acciones," ("We are not going to permit these actions"). She added that her office would collaborate with community-based organizations that serve immigrants. She has a long relationship with CHIRLA and bragged last year about obtaining federal funding for CHIRLA's programs. That grant is part of a broader stream of public dollars that the organization receives from government sources.

In fact, according to a financial audit submitted to the state, the CHIRLA organization received nearly $34 million in revenue from government contracts during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, with 96% of that funding from the State of California. That figure marks a sharp increase from the prior year, when it received around $12 million in government contract revenue. Agencies contributing to CHIRLA's funding during this period included the California Department of Social Services, the California Arts Council, the Governor's Office of Emergency Services, and the Department of Homeland Security. Notably, as mentioned above, a DHS contract funded CHIRLA to provide citizenship instruction and naturalization services.

With $100,000 remaining on CHIRLA's contract, DHS froze the remaining funds in February. CHIRLA responded by suing. The court denied their motion for a preliminary injunction on May 29. This is one of two lawsuits CHIRLA filed against DHS this year. The other was dismissed for lack of standing and is on appeal.

To sum up how this works: Your tax dollars fund an organization that organizes efforts to directly interfere with the federal government's lawful exercise of authority. Then, through its lobbying arm, that organization helps get Democrats elected to office, who then repay the favor by ensuring increased funding.

This is the nonprofit industrial complex at work.

The California state government is also funding CHIRLA and other street terrorism groups.


Laura Powell
@LauraPowellEsq

If you are a Californian, the current LA riots are an example of your tax dollars hard at work.

The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Right--CHIRLA--is one of the key players in fomenting the violent response to immigration enforcement actions. It's an LA-based nonprofit with a history of taking radical positions on immigration; for example, it led a 2018 campaign to abolish ICE. It currently leads the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network, which gathers intel about enforcement actions and deploys activists to respond.

CHIRLA has strong ties to the Democrat Party in California and has supported the election of Democratic candidates through its lobbying arm. It has a particularly close relationship with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. The organization also has a close relationship with organized labor in the state, which in turn is a major financial supporter of Democrat politicians. On Friday, amid rising tensions, CHIRLA held a rally protesting ICE's enforcement actions and the arrest of SEIU President David Huerta for obstruction.

The incredible part is that CHIRLA's activities are primarily funded by California taxpayers. I obtained a financial audit that shows that for the fiscal year ending June 2023, it received $34 million from the state, mostly through the Department of Social Services, accounting for 72% of its total revenue. This was nearly a three-fold increase over the previous year.

CHIRLA also received a $450,000 federal contract in 2023, which Mayor Bass publicly took credit for helping secure. DHS froze funding in February, which prompted a lawsuit from CHIRLA. DHA then canceled the contract, and the lawsuit was then dismissed.

Eisenhower warned of the military-industrial complex--now we face a nonprofit-industrial complex.

Teachers union communist Randi Weingarten is already pushing a new day of intifada on June fourteenth -- this Saturday.

@amuse
@amuse

INSURRECTION: Why is the former Managing Director of Blackrock and the President of the Teachers Union organizing a nationwide protest during the Army's celebration of its 250th birthday? Morris Pearl and Randi Weingarten are part of coalition of 200 far-left NGOs planning a so-called nationwide day of defiance on June 14th. Strange bedfellows indeed. With USAID funding no longer available and ActBlue effectively neutered Democrat NGOs are panicking and hope a nationwide protest can captures the hearts, minds, and most importantly the wallets of millions of Democrat donors.

I believe that one-third figure may have been correct thru...2010ish?

And then at some point the leftist hellhole leaders figured out if they could just control the vote-counting and vote-reporting, they no longer had to actually "fix the potholes" figuratively speaking. As that realization spread, I'm guessing the rate of grift has approached perhaps 80 percent or more of all government spending.

96 Guard call up is invalid- they can be held personally responsible. The Governor's office states the call into Federal service of members of the State's National Guard was not issued through the State's Governor -- as required by federal law -- nor was it transmitted to, nor approved or ordered by.

Gavin needs to communicate this directly to those soldiers. Watch them melt into the scenery.

I recommend the protestors print that and hand them out to the National Guards.

Trump is losing lots of court cases. Yes, he has been allowed to get away with a lot but he is being called out on everything now. If Trump completely ignores the courts he needs the military to support that. We are now in a battle for the hearts and minds of the guys with the guns.

So far, I've only seen LA police roughing up anyone. In fact, other than National Guard around detention center, not sure Guard has been involved in anything.

In any event, the immigrants -- missing a paper or two who are likely hiding at home -- are the ones who'll get hurt out of all this.

They really think this because they do not know how the courts work. They think a temporary restraining order = loss. They think the 9-0 court order for the judge to narrow his order and make it specific was a repudiation of Trump that he is ignoring.

In short, they are typically dishonest and/or ignorant about what is going on.

Under the Insurrection Act, I think the above funding constitutes an "unlawful combination" to obstruct federal law, even state law.

Sec 252 and 253 apply. Sec. 253 contains "shall" instead of "may", which implies POTUS is obligated to restore order when state authority is unwilling or unable to act to do so.

Long as they're peaceable. Long as they just chant their slogans about wanting Americans to be raped and murdered and forced to pay for the privilege because they believe that they won't be personally impacted... that's their right.

OTOH, it's been too long since protesters were shown what happens to folks who aren't peaceable. Or maybe are just standing a bit too close to folks who aren't peaceable. Seems like time for an education.

While you can ask for anything you want, realistically the most you can get for a house is relative to what the comps are going for in your vicinity and the relative status of your neighborhood.

My mother lives in an area that was never swanky, and has been going downhill for decades. Meanwhile, my parents spent most of their lives fixing it up to the point where it's gorgeous inside and out.

When she's gone, I will have siblings who will be howling at how much they can't sell it for.

Here's the dirty little secret, most of the common windows are made in China, and cheaper windows will often have slightly cheaper components that allow the window to be sold at slightly lower prices.

________________

It was pivotal because it made California even more glamorous than it had been before. Sun, surf, beautiful girls, Hollywood, and then the cachet of the Summer of Love induced every liberal shithead in the Northeast and upper Midwest to come here post haste. Reagan had nothing to do with it. Jerry Brown was elected governor in 1975, only the second or third Democrat governor in California history, with the preceding being his father (who was actually a good governor, unlike Jerry).

240 Things are "possible" because we don't know what's causing them not to happen.

Things are "possible" when there is a force that has the potential to manifest that thing. "Poss" is literally power.

What atheists mean is "not decided". There's no magical possibility in that, it's just we don't know whether that's in the universe or not.

A people significantly smart enough to not need the Bible as a reference, is not in the "potential" of man simple because we do not know that it is not. That implication employs an argumentum ad ignoratium structure.

A conservative looks at a thing that has manifested and has worked and said "this will work".

So simply because it's theoretical that we "don't need the Bible", doesn't mean that it is inevitable that humanity can be coordinated among similar principles without it.

Bottom line: Read Revelation. We initially lose, and the forces of darkness get to establish their world wide government. This period is simply the blow struck to one of the heads of the beast. Christ said that the generation which was alive when Israel was reformed will not pass from the Earth before these events occur. Israel was reformed in April of 1948, 77 years ago. I was born 2 weeks before that. Hard to see how anything can keep going much beyond 2068.

Coordination is possible without it, but it's not as nice to live in.

Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom Blame Democrat Rioters' Violence on Trump

They're doing everything they can to avoid criticizing their antifa street militias, Hamas jihadists, and foreign invaders for their violence.

This is a MAJOR rule of antifa and other violent black block street paramilitaries: You must never, NEVER criticize your fellow left-wing "protesters" for their violence.

They call this "respecting a diversity of tactics." In other words, you might favor non-violent protest, but if your fellow left-wing allies resort to arson, assault, and even murder in the name of your cause, you must not criticize them or point out the terrorists to the police. There is a "diversity of tactics" permitted in "protests," and everyone on the left must respect antifa's and BLM's choice to engage in wanton arson, looting, and violent assaults.

Dave Reaboi and Kyle Shideler wrote about this in October 2020, as antifa and related Democrat street paramilitaries organized to shut the entire country down if Trump won the election. Well, he did win it; I mean, if the effort to "fortify" the election was thwarted.

They wrote of the plan to deploy peaceful protesters mixed in with violent sociopaths, who the peaceful protesters would be made to support and defend.


The two groups are curious in their similarities and differences. While the Shutdown DC group appears to be made up of environmental anarchists--and sponsored by a self-described Antifa group--its organizers are seasoned and professionally-trained, and at least one is a union organizer. "Hold the Line" is more academic in appearance; it draws its organizers from the non-profit advocacy and digital tech worlds. Because of its focus on nonviolent street action and mobilization, this document appears to be targeting liberals closer to the mainstream.

These two approaches--tailored to two specific types of audiences along the radicalization path--work together in what left-wing organizers have long called, "diversity of tactics." Without using the term, the authors of "Stopping the Coup: The 2020 Guide" addressed this point.


It's important to locate strategic thinking, and offer strategic tools at the grassroots level. If our different organizations, crews, and affinity groups have a shared understanding of the strategy involved we can accommodate different tactics, different groups taking lead on actions at different times, and trust that individual participants and organizers can move with confidence that they are furthering movement goals. This doesn't mean that every group you try to organize with immediately will be the right fit for the fight. It's ok to set an agenda and invite participation and allow groups to choose. (Emphasis added.)

Choose violence, they mean.


Participants in nonviolent efforts must not be made to directly condemn the violent direct-actions of others in the coalition. Rather than a moral or ethical objection to violence, this is a strategy that allows both violent and non-violent approaches to exist on a continuum. While politicians, law enforcement, and even some conservative commentators may criticize Antifa and other violent direct-action anarchists, all are publicly insisting that Antifa are merely unwanted agitators in the midst of legitimate protests.

But this is wrong. In any given protest, the "agitators" and the "legitimate protestors" are, instead, two products of the same industry which exist in a symbiotic relationship, and may even share overt memorandums regarding agreement on tactics. While Antifa relies upon the mass protest in order to hide among the crowd, the public destruction committed by Antifa draws attention and adds urgency to the political demands of the larger movement.

This is exactly the imperative behind official Democrat-Media Party messaging right now: We must never condemn our violent revolutionary foot-soldiers. We will deny that they are violent at all, and, when that fails, we will simply say that Trump provoked the Peaceful Protesters into violence.

Kamala Harris respects antifa's Diversity of Tactics.


Kamala Harris broke her silence more than 30 hours after violent immigration riots erupted in Los Angeles--but aimed her fire at President Trump, not the protesters. She called the National Guard deployment a "dangerous escalation," accusing Trump of stoking fear.

Key Details:

Harris posted a statement to X late Sunday, saying Trump's decision to send in the National Guard "is meant to provoke chaos," accusing the administration of using fear to divide Americans.

Harris praised the ongoing demonstrations, calling them "overwhelmingly peaceful," despite viral footage showing protesters hurling rocks, torching vehicles, and vandalizing federal property.

Her comments echoed those of California Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, who called the National Guard deployment "inflammatory" and a "chaotic escalation."


This is official antifa protocol in operation: Never, ever condemn or even criticize the left's black bloc rioters and arsonists. Deny they're doing anything at all, and when that fails, suggest that their violent response to police (and shoe stores) is justified by the "provocation" they've endured.

Obviously Maxine Waters, a major instigator and defender of the disastrous 1992 Rodney King riots, supports a "diversity of tactics" when fighting Whitey.

Tensions flared again in Los Angeles this week as Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) joined anti-ICE demonstrators on the streets, escalating a volatile situation with harsh rhetoric aimed at federal agents and National Guard troops deployed by President Trump.

The California Democrat, a longtime defender of sanctuary cities, was captured on video berating National Guard troops standing outside the Los Angeles Federal Building -- where ICE agents had taken refuge following days of violent protests. The National Guard was activated after mobs swarmed immigration enforcement operations, attacked federal vehicles, and lit fires across downtown L.A.

"Why do you have guns?" Waters shouted at the soldiers. "What are you going to do, you going to shoot some kid who's afraid of you and runs? You going to shoot an elected official? If you shoot me, you better shoot straight."

Waters continued her tirade, accusing the Trump administration of bypassing California officials to deploy troops in an "outrageous attempt to not only target our sanctuary city but to frighten us and intimidate us."

Sean Spicer from 2Way points out that an elected Democrat assemblyman seemed to deliberately instigate the attack on the ICE building. He went to the site, before any riots, running video and "warning" -- more like "cheerleading" -- that "something is going to happen here," and posted that video on TikTok. He was effectively encouraging people to the building and make that "something" happen. He was summoning the rioters.

And obviously Gavin Newsom supports a "diversity of tactics" by his antifa and Hamas jihadi allies. Even though local police departments have confessed they cannot stop the violence, he is suing Trump to leave his antifa and jihadist allies continue their Mostly Peaceful Deadly Assaults on cops.

California Governor Gavin Newsom is threatening to sue the Trump Administration after President Donald Trump authorized the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles County in response to riots over stepped-up federal immigration enforcement.

In an appearance on MSNBC late Sunday, Newsom called the federal move an "unconstitutional act," and accused the Trump Administration of bypassing state authority. The Democrat governor doubled down in a social media post, saying, "Commandeering a state's National Guard without consulting the Governor of that state is illegal and immoral."

"Donald Trump has created the conditions you see on your TV tonight. He's exacerbated the conditions. He's, you know, lit the proverbial match. He's putting fuel on this fire, ever since he announced he was taking over the National Guard -- an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act," Newsom said on MSNBC.

The problem is never antifa, the black bloc, or the Hamas jihadists literally gunning down Jews in the streets.

The problem is always the people who "provoke" them into committing murder and mayhem.

The Democrat-Media Party two-step on violence committed by their allied street paramilitaries:

1, It's not happening

2, Okay it's happening, but the fascists forced us to burn their cars


What is up with Gavin Newsom's bizarre hand gestures?

I love when Gavin Newsom makes his flamboyant hand-gestures with every word he speaks like he's Doctor Fucking Strange summoning a Rainbow Dragon.

24 They call this "respecting a diversity of tactics." In other words, you might favor non-violent protest, but if your fellow left-wing allies resort to arson, assault, and even murder in the name of your cause, you must not criticize them or point out the terrorists to the police. There is a "diversity of tactics" permitted in "protests," and everyone on the left must respect antifa's and BLM's choice to engage in wanton arson, looting, and violent assaults.

It all comes down to the second rule of the left: never do or say anything that might assist your enemy. See, Bill Clinton was able to do this strategically but nobody else seems to get it.

These people are Mexican, or Cuban, or Puerto Rican, or Columbian, or whatever and, for the most part, each group hates the others.

-----------
That's a linguistic "tell". Anytime somebody *combines* words when one would be plenty (and correct), i.e. "illegal and immoral". IF an act is "illegal", to one sworn to uphold the law or one who believes in the rule of law the fact the he/she believes it to ALSO be "immoral" is irrelevant. Anytime you see the words combined, the speaker doesn't *really* believe the act "illegal"--if they did, they would simply call it that.

28 All good stuff. Have followed Shideler's stuff for a while.

But seems to me, while correct, also very over-determined.

Bass is a vapid black political class grifter, standard issue. She has time and ties to Cuban intel!!!! OK. Doesn't change a thing. She - and dozens of others exactly like her - have, and will, act exactly the same way, say exactly the same things.

Newsom is a vapid coastal class sub-mediocre political "elite" dummy. No ties to Cuban intel. No ties to Chy-nah (any more than Boeing, Harvard, or the Fortune 100, anyway). He - and dozens of others exactly like him - have, and will, act exactly the same way, say exactly the same things.

Blaming Trump is of course absurd. But 98% of all anti-Trump political discourse is absurd, always has been. Nothing new here. Just a country possibly degraded enough to accept this idiocy. We'll see.

Dems don't have a messaging problem (as in not having a good, appealing message). But, the MSM is all owned by the m/billionaire class that the Dems cannot get their message to the swing voters and middle class viewers of the MSM. We have coordinate our message to umpteen lesser viewed outlets, and hope the message can get through.

it is definitely an unfair playing field to put it mildly. But it is what it is. Cohesion of messaging and repetition is one way to fight that.

Since Bush the republicans put out daily talking points and STAY ON MESSAGE. I don't know why Dems haven't done this. They do know it works because they complain incessantly about it. So use it.

149 The bare-bones factual review @85 by JackStraw sez exactly what I was about to, since it seems (understandably) that many are foggy on the basics here.

ICE collars 4 seriously dirtbag criminals (convicted, serious crimes including murder). LAPD/Sheriffs (I guess, in latter case) refuse to provide back-up or support to federal law enforcement, in this case ICE. Mob attacks and menaces main ICE facility, and personnel, as retaliation for nabbing 4 really bad criminals (on judicial warrants - in other words, arresting fugitives).

Nat. Guard pulled in to provide basic defensive security at facilities (really doubt they'll accompany ICE on raids - they have BORTAC, the BP's SWAT outfit, for that).

So LA and CA are in effect actively impeding basic federal law enforcement, to include inciting (more) violence against them. This is outrageous. It's not about a few blocks and cars getting trashed downtown - that's purely a local matter. The important and basic part of the story is the other stuff.

Tomorrow he will be voting for the far leftist Dems for our township commitee in the hopes that if they win their primary the stalwart moderate Dems-will be appalled by them, won't show up to vote and the Tepubs will eke out a win in No sm we

Now notice this. They are always conflating the claim that the election was invalid as "incitement". They count "Fight like Hell" and ignore "Peacefully make your voices heard".

For any sane person, those would be offsetting. So the claim that the election was invalid--the thing that inspired the protest IS their "incitement".

So, by claiming that ICE is acting illegally?.....

173 "Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom Blame Democrat Rioters' Violence on Trump"

And this is how you get a Strongman leader to act more strongly. The Left doesn't seem to get this irony.

When the vast majority of the population witnesses this protesting rioting, they get pissed. Almost no normal person wants street thuggery especially when the authorities have the blessing of the citizens to correct a problem. In this case, a practical and literal invasion of foreign, mostly illegal, immigrants/aliens have besieged the nation via a previously corrupted government. Legal citizens want this corrected and resolved. These organized thugs and their proxy leaders do not.

So, when citizens see rioting, they notice their demands being usurped. The result? More and more people gravitate to a stronger leader to implement increasingly proactive action. And if the riots/violence continues, then citizens will not just look away if the government gets more violent; they will demand it.

So the illegals/BLM/Antifa/etc are actually paving the path for a "fascist" to take over and solve a problem/issue they have been demanding to get resolved. They are incubating the next "Hitler".

Has been for a while now.

But ultimately this is a fight over power and money and control. The left's goals require a huge body of new voters and people to establish congressional control, and they are fighting like hell to make sure they keep that. Bodies will hit the ground before they give ground or lose, if they even ever do.

For them, this is life or death. Any tactics, any behavior, any action is justified by their religious zealotry. They believe they are doing holy work and that their opponents are evil and must be stopped at any price.

In the Little Rock Mess, Ike invoked the Insurrection Act, Sec. 253. He federalized the NG to take it out from Faubus's control, and then sent in the 101st Airborne to do the enforcing.

At the time, I thought they were "good"...ish. Now that all the music from that period has aged, I think the "roster" of musicians that played anything approaching "rock" was SO THIN that we allowed ourselves to like bands like that.

The activation of the Marines is intended to provide Task Force 51 with adequate numbers of forces to provide continuous coverage of the area in support of the lead federal agency.

Task Force 51 is U.S. Army North’s Contingency Command Post, which provides a rapidly deployable capability to partner with civil authorities and DoD entities in response to a Homeland Defense and Homeland Security Operations. It is commanded by Maj. Gen. Scott M. Sherman.

Task Force 51 is comprised of approximately 2,100 National Guard soldiers in a Title 10 status and 700 active-duty Marines. Task Force 51 forces have been trained in de-escalation, crowd control, and standing rules for the use of force.

ABC "News" Suspends Woke Partisan Activist Terry Moran for Unhinged Attack on Trump Staffer Stephen Miller

ABC "News" had no idea -- none! -- that Terry Moran was a woke activist before this.

ABC News suspended correspondent Terry Moran after he described Trump adviser Stephen Miller as a "world-class hater" in a post critics say exposed the deep-rooted bias in mainstream media. The network called Moran's comments "subjective personal attacks" and a violation of journalistic standards.

Key Details:

Moran posted late Saturday night that Miller is "richly endowed with the capacity for hatred," calling both Miller and Trump "world-class haters."
ABC News suspended Moran, saying the comments do "not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards."
Vice President JD Vance called the remarks a "vile smear," while the White House press secretary blasted them as "unacceptable and unhinged."

Diving Deeper:

ABC News is under fire after suspending Senior National Correspondent Terry Moran for a late-night social media tirade targeting Stephen Miller, a top adviser to President Donald Trump. In a since-deleted post on X, Moran unleashed a highly personal critique of Miller, claiming the White House aide is "richly endowed with the capacity for hatred" and feeds on it "like spiritual nourishment."

"The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism," Moran wrote. "It's not brains. It's bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world-class hater."

The post also lumped Trump into the same category, calling both him and Miller "world-class" haters--language that ignited swift condemnation from conservatives and further fueled distrust of corporate media.

ABC News confirmed Moran's suspension to Axios, stating: "ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others. The post does not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards."

The response from the Trump Administration was immediate. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared on Fox News Sunday morning, calling Moran's rhetoric "unacceptable and unhinged." She added, "I think this speaks to the distrust that the American public have in the legacy media."

Vice President JD Vance echoed those sentiments in a post of his own, calling Moran's words a "vile smear."

Stephen Miller, a central figure in the administration's hardline immigration policy, responded directly, saying, "For decades, the privileged anchors and reporters narrating and gatekeeping our society have been radicals adopting a journalist's pose."

Here's my Terry Moran memory: During Obama's first inauguration, one nasty ABC "News" reporter said something completely vicious about the troops. Something along the lines of how the racists in the military must hate it to have to salute a black president. Or something like that. This was a long time ago.

I incorrectly attributed it to Fake Jake Tapper, who DMd me to insist he hadn't said it. I asked "Well someone said it, who's in the booth with you?" but he refused to tell me. It was a state secret. He just demanded that I take down my report that he had said it, without giving me any tip about who did say it.

After rewinding the tape an hour to finally hear which ABC "reporter" was covering the inauguration with Tapper, I found out it was Terry Moran.

Meanwhile: Here's how another ABC "journalist" reported on the mass burning of cars -- it was "just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn," so Trump should definitely not send in law enforcement to shut this innocent "fun" down.

Remember, months of mail in ballot cheating wasn't enough to win. It took six states stopping ballot counting in the middle of the night to ballot box stuff like Tammany Hall to barely get Biden a victory.

Because the American people believed the media so much.

The same media that screamed throughout 2015 and 2016 that Trump was a Nazi rapist and led to his political decimation, never to be heard from again.

NEVILLE SINGHAM: Funded Pro-Palestinian Campus Protests; Now Tied to Anti-ICE Riots

The LA riots were part of a series of nationwide protests organized by Communist PSL (Party for Socialism & Liberation) taking place on June 7-8.

Several days ago, Neville Singham was identified as the main backer behind PSL.

PSL printed signage and spokespeople not only for the LA riots, but also for San Antonio and other cities. I'll document Neville Singham's involvement below:

But Singham is the old school Communist / Marxist / Leninist subversive, whereas Soros works within socialists. To that end, don't be surprised that PSL opposes NATO - because they want the CCP/Marxism to be our replacement overlords:

166 I think what we are seeing is the concept of runaway bureaucracy with an interesting difference.

Normally, any institution set up for a purpose becomes eternal, surviving long after it is useful and even creating more of the problem it was intended to fix because that is how it grows. We see this with drug war, homelessness, famine relief, etc.

But in this case the Left has created a network of agitators to create strife against Trump and rile up their base. They were so successful (at agitating) that they now have a large bureaucracy of funding, training, logistics, etc. and a large mass of troops ready and willing to protest.

They are an unstoppable force continuing on in spite of being counter productive to their original aims. They are convincing the public that they really are the bad guys and Trump was right. That was never their goal but the system is in place and must act.

Even if those people know better they still instinctively think “cnn says it so there must be something to it”. I’ll admit to that as well. I can talk myself out of it, but it’s not always easy.

And even if we all would ignore cnn, they (along with NYT, WaPo etc) still drive the news every day. Right leaning media simply responds to them. But we never drive the narrative. We’re always playing defence to their offense. That’s an enormous advantage for them that won’t go away any time soon.

But...I'd argue its most then just that. The left built out a whole suite of organizations that allow them to constantly produce new politicians and bureaucrats, and to reward people in the private sector that get in trouble for advancing lefty goals.

And they built out every sort of org these people might want - to you want to make media? Do you want to write? Do you want to "organize" etc etc all the way to do you want to engage in terrorism and violence?

208 Via Grok:

DHS’s 2025 list of 20 Minnesota counties and two cities as "sanctuary jurisdictions" further fuels this criticism, alleging these areas obstruct federal immigration enforcement.

In summary, while Minnesota has not passed legislation to become an official sanctuary state, its existing policies and local practices in places like Minneapolis and St. Paul lead to conflicting views, with DHS and critics labeling it a sanctuary state, while supporters see it as a compassionate but not fully sanctuary jurisdiction.

Everything the left does are pressure campaigns.

Feminized power that can't act directly must push others who will do what they seek.
Escalations against defenseless targets to pressure the actual target.

That's why Trump infuriates and frustrates them: Their pressure doesn't work.
Because he is direct.

They live in a world where they still think the "pussy" tape worked.
That's why they are so invested in the Russia Collusion--it was the only explanation that fit why it didn't work: Trump cheated.
So, they still haven't adjusted to a reality that's nine years old now ....
And they're just that one, perfect pressure campaign away from beating Trump.

1️⃣ Neville Singham is deeply tied to PSL, the group behind last weekend's anti-ICE protests.

2️⃣ He was also the force behind last year's pro-Palestine campus unrest.

3️⃣ Senate Republicans urged the Biden admin to investigate him for FARA violations. Nothing happened.

4️⃣ He’s operating on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.

If all this is true, and there's a lot of evidence it is, then we are actively ignoring CCP influence on U.S. soil.

🤔 Why are we doing this to ourselves?

257 White men have abandoned them, leaving AWFLs and black women to become their voting base.

The only solution for people like this is more revolution.

Builders vs. Takers

Hispanics are becoming Trump's strongest base of support.
But, I guess actual Hispanics don't know what Hispanics want as much as AWFLs and black women?

Anyway, if only Hispanic men voted in 2024, Kamala would have won 4 states: NY, IL, MD and CA.

That "collapse of knowledge systems" essay linked at Insty is weighing heavily on my mind:
The left is deep, deep inside these collapsing systems--it's not just that they don't know that they can't trust the knowledge they rely on, it's that they can't allow themselves to even ask.

263 What proof does Moran have that Miller is filled with hate? Certainly he has disdain for journalists, really, who doesn't? I think though that by putting the interests of American citizen's ahead of those of the criminal aliens is enough to earn the 'hater' label. Especially if you advance this position as effectively and as passionately as Miller does.

Rasmussen poll (spit) showed Trump's highest approval among races was with Hispanics.

Higher than whites.

We'll see, but it seems like it's possible that Republicans could end up benefiting from Trump's anti-illegal immigration gusto bigly. Like...Hispanics voting 60-40 or better for the GOP in near future elections.

I can't wait for the 2028 Democrat candidate to run on deporting legal Hispanic green card holders.

I am not anti-vax. The jab was not a vax, but a controversial new and relatively untested immunotherapy for which they leveraged historical vaccine and medical provider trust to conduct a massive, public trial without informed consent. And they killed a lot of people, while their buddies got rich off of it.

If you are not making a gallows platform plea for mercy, you can cry me a river about people being anti-vax after that.

As Their Fellow Democrats Attempt to Murder Police, Some Democrats Actually Say to Tamp Down on Violence.
Not Because It's Wrong, But Only Because It Plays Into Trump's Hands.

Physics Geek
@physicsgeek

Dems, a few hours ago: There are no riots occurring.

Dems, now: Please stop rioting because it will help the GOP.

Note well how it's never "Please don't riot because it's bad and against the law." Everything is viewed through the prism of "does it help or hurt our party?"

Adam Schiff
@SenAdamSchiff

Los Angeles -- violence is never the answer. Assaulting law enforcement is never ok.

Indeed, doing so plays directly into the hands of those who seek to antagonize and weaponize the situation for their own gain.

Don't let them succeed.

riotshelptrump.jpg


I linked this earlier, but if you missed it: Terrorists hurl heavy chunks of concrete from a bridge overpass and hit a cop in the head. That cop may well end up dying. It's an attempted murder that may, unfortunately, become an actual murder.

And the Democrat-Media Party defends this and claims it's "mostly peaceful."

And Democrats say "don't murder police, only because it Helps Trump."

Bonchie links John Heilmann claiming "there was nothing like a riot on Friday and Saturday night" to conform with the Democrat-Media Party line that it was Trump who escalated this into riots.

But we watched the riots Friday and Saturday night.


Bonchie
@bonchieredstate

Again, I ask, if they'll lie about something this obvious, countering video evidence, what won't they lie to you about?

How did we get four years of lying about Joe Biden's health? This is how. There are no limits.

Megan Basham makes a similar point about John Heilmann's relentless disinformation and gaslighting:

Megan Basham
@megbasham

I think what we are seeing is a media that does not know how to adjust to the new American awareness of their duplicity. So they keep doubling down, somehow failing to realize that every time they do it, the already record-low opinion Americans have of them sinks lower.

Antifa terrorists are throwing tear gas canisters back at police -- which is assault. They also brought leaf-blowers to blow gas at the police.

In the midst of rioting, car burnings, and attempted murder against the police, Maxine Waters calls for people to take to the streets to "resist."

Apparently Mexicans are now all Palestinians.

The Sweethearts of the Rainbow Jihad were also well-represented.

What do we do when Our Strength turns against us?

This unfortunately relies on the assumption that the media is the way they are for "votes".

Most of our side can't put ourselves in the position of the Left, to really understand them, so we default to "they're lying to win elections" because that's what makes it make sense to us.

It does make sense another way though. They lie because it's their native tongue. They lie to "activate" and "recruit", neither of which care about votes as such.

They already have the vote. The current opposition is temporary. They have no intention of ever winning people back with any version of "the truth". Forget it.

We already know that the media outlets are direct and responsive propaganda outlets serving as direct "internal" allies of the left. How many times have you seen reporting using the exact same position and EXACT same wording in their reports? That coordination is at the very top of the food chain. Journalist instructed by producer, producer instructed by management, management instructed by executive management, executive management instructed by CEO, CEO instructed by DNC. So, as we see Adam Schiff and Newsome discard morality for political optics, that same message was passed onto the media and reflected in the same way. There were instructed to do so. This is not flailing to find their feet. They are continuing with the status quo due to their purpose.

69 2) That the Democrats are actually trying the "fiery but mostly peaceful protests" thing again. I know that most of their voters have IQs immeasurably low, but even most of the dimwits will notice that the "protests" aren't really that peaceful. Will they vote differently? Probably not because partisan, but they certainly notice the riots.

****

I think you are underestimating just how many Democrats are fine with these kind of riots.

The “mostly peaceful protests” is just the propaganda phrase they repeat over and over to signal their support for the revolution. Like “transwomen are real women” and “black lives matter”, etc.

Again, I ask, if they'll lie about something this obvious, countering video evidence, what won't they lie to you about?

How did we get four years of lying about Joe Biden's health? This is how. There are no limits.


Come on this isn’t new.

They were doing the same types of lies way back with Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown in Ferguson.

They fine tuned it with Trump 2016 - 2020, which was the crown jewel of lying media with COVID, Riots, and the stolen election.

Covering for Biden was just riding on cruise control by that point.

82 >>> 56 I understand what Megan Basham is saying, but she is giving WAY WAY WAY too much credit to individual journalists. We already know that the media outlets are direct and responsive propaganda outlets serving as direct "internal" allies of the left. How many times have you seen reporting using the exact same position and EXACT same wording in their reports? That coordination is at the very top of the food chain. Journalist instructed by producer, producer instructed by management, management instructed by executive management, executive management instructed by CEO, CEO instructed by DNC. So, as we see Adam Schiff and Newsome discard morality for political optics, that same message was passed onto the media and reflected in the same way. There were instructed to do so. This is not flailing to find their feet. They are continuing with the status quo due to their purpose.

2022 was the high water mark for stealing elections.

2024 was the beginning of a receding tide.

The RNC that orchestrated that receding tide is still managed by Michael Whatley who was dismissed as a conspiracy theorist and election denier when Trump tapped him for the post after (finally) getting rid of Ronna "Flowers" McDaniel.

And...1,000,000 foreign born residents have already left America in the last 4 months. People like Presler are continuing to clean up election rolls. If any number of those 1,000,000 were auto-registered, they'll be coming off, lessening the bucket of votes to manufacture from.

Maybe there's signs of hope.

Wearing masks while demonstrating is not against the law in L.A. but should be. If it were, there could be mass arrests.

But there is so much going on that there could be thousands of arrests. Assault. Road blockading. Pyro discharge. Arson. There's plenty to work with here.

But the big name “authoritative” corporate outlets and local outlets/newspapers still refuse to identify their allegiances and pretend they’re still the objective, neutral, arbiters of truth.

Instead they deny it while twisting reality to their narratives on a daily basis.

Posted by: tubal


The entire principle of "maximize urban density," which dominate City Planning and architectural theory these days, is based on this concept. Studies proved that the more crowded conditions people live in, the most leftist they are. Seeing these stats, the brilliant Urban Planning theorists assumed that correlation is causation, and declared that forcing people to live in crowded cities will turn them into leftists. And ever since all Urban Planning has been designed to "maximize density: for this very reason.

It never occurred to them that the causation goes the other way, that freedom-loving sane people fled the cities to the suburbs and rural areas, leaving behind the residue of crazy radicals to fester in their own stew undiluted in the central urban ghettos.

301 People get confused trying to shame the left for violating their own principles or even trying to make sense of what their principles are.

And here's the thing nothing they say really matters, they don't believe any of it, which is why they can change on a dime.

They have one thing they value - power. Anything that gives them power is good, anything that reduces it is not just bad but rank evil.

So, protesting the stolen election on J6? EVIL, because the more people question the election the less power their figurehead has. Protesting ICE or Trump? Good because it makes people question their validity.

And you can apply this lens to EVERYTHING they do.

A number of years ago there was a guy mailing bombs out of Kinkos or something like that.

The feds took all the cell phone data the geolocated to the Kinkos the bombs were mailed out of, figured out who the likely bomber was, then found where his phone was in real time and interdicted him.

This was year ago now...this stuff is even easier to do now.

The United States must accelerate the safe commercialization of drone technologies and fully integrate UAS into the National Airspace System. The time has come to accelerate testing and to enable routine drone operations, scale up domestic production, and expand the export of trusted, American-manufactured drone technologies to global markets. Building a strong and secure domestic drone sector is vital to reducing reliance on foreign sources, strengthening critical supply chains, and ensuring that the benefits of this technology are delivered to the American people.

385 An Obama federal judge in California has blocked the Trump administration from enforcing anti-diversity and anti-transgender executive orders in grant funding requirements that LGBTQ+ organizations say are unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar said Monday that the federal government cannot force recipients to halt programs that promote diversity, equity and inclusion or acknowledge the existence of transgender people in order to receive grant funding.

387 Approximately 4.1 percent of Americans identify as gay, bisexual, or other, according to a Gallup News Study. Despite making up a small fraction of the population, men who have sex with men (MSM) account for more than half of all new cases of HIV each year, due in part to an inflated chance of having sexual relations with an HIV-positive partner. Among women, studies have shown that viral STD rates among bisexual-identifying women aged 15 to 44 years were almost three times higher than women who have sex with women exclusively. The same study also documented the difficulty in identifying women as bisexual, finding that even among women whose most recent sexual partner was a woman, more than half of women who have had sexual encounters with both men and women identified as heterosexual.

Israel Arrests Greta Thunberg and Her Terror Boat; They'll Force Her to Watch 43 Minutes of Hamas Footage of their Murders and Rapes

It won't matter. She is possessed by demons.

Her boat carried less than one truck-full of food, which she claimed she was bringing to Gaza to stop the genocide.

They needed all that space for their videocameras, phones, and make-up kits.

This Israelis call her boat "the selfie yacht."

Israeli naval forces boarded and detained a boat of activists, including climate campaigner Greta Thunberg, early Monday as it attempted to breach the Gaza maritime blockade.

Key Details:

The intercepted vessel, Madleen, was part of a pro-Palestinian mission led by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which aimed to challenge Israel's naval blockade and deliver aid to Gaza.

Among the 12 detained were Greta Thunberg, Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila, and French-Palestinian European Parliament Member Rima Hassan. They are expected to be deported after reaching Ashdod Port.

Israeli authorities criticized the voyage as a publicity stunt, calling it a "selfie yacht" mission and warning it undermined legitimate humanitarian efforts and risked Israeli security.

She's claiming Israel has "kidnapped" her.

The IDF will show her Hamas' own video recordings of their atrocities as a condition of her release.


I instructed the IDF to show the flotilla passengers the video of the horrors of the October 7 massacre when they arrive at the port of Ashdod.

It is appropriate that the anti-Semitic Greta and her fellow Hamas supporters see exactly who the Hamas terrorist organization they came to support and for whom they work is, what atrocities they committed against women, the elderly, and children, and against whom Israel is fighting to defend itself.

Conditioning that can be beaten out isn't much of a fix.

The fix that made him sick at the thought of violence isn't a fix. It denies him agency. It doesn't actually fix him. It manipulates him until he can't act on his own anymore. It denies him his humanity, his free will.

And...it's beaten out of him. They haven't changed him in the end. It didn't work.

18 USC 1324 Aiding and abetting Illegals says it does not need to be 'direct' support... even encouragement is enough... especially as it specifically relates to Conspiracy, which is directly written into the law.

Calling a City a sanctuary city IS a direct violation of that law... as it is a conspiracy to encourage more illegals to come, and stay.

Conditioning that can be beaten out isn't much of a fix.

The fix that made him sick at the thought of violence isn't a fix. It denies him agency. It doesn't actually fix him. It manipulates him until he can't act on his own anymore. It denies him his humanity, his free will.

And...it's beaten out of him. They haven't changed him in the end. It didn't work.

>The Guardian, Macron must lead the EU push to end Israel’s war on Gaza, Jo-Ann Mort, June 9, 2025

In part, "Macron, by promoting a Palestinian state and placing himself in the lead on the world stage on this – especially as the US has lost global leadership under Trump – walks a path that previous French governments have pursued. Indeed, Michel Rocard, who was prime minister during the Mitterand presidency decades ago, was particularly involved in behind-the-scenes negotiations. Today, Macron has broad support at home – including from political factions on the left – for this effort.

Meanwhile, the Israeli government is going full force against Macron. The foreign minister, Gideon Sa’ar, has accused Macron of being on an anti-Israel “crusade”. It’s an unprecedented attack not only on an Israeli ally, but on the country that is home to the largest population of Jews on the European continent. Later, the Israeli defense minister and even the prime minister chimed in to attack Macron in an ugly and dangerous manner."

He wanted them to see how cruel, inhuman and evil the German army was. Some of them wept, many covered their faces from the stench, some vomited.

Probably some. But more likely are text messages (using one of the various encrypted services) with details of how - and with whom - they were coordinating this trip. This wouldn't have happened without a rendezvous plan and propaganda agenda on the Gaza side of things, and that means Hamas was absolutely involved.

Probably not so much about not exposing the Hamas operators, because Israel probably already knows who they are (or has a short list of good guesses). Probably much more about methods, coordination and logistics.

@larryelder

Hey, rioters, @MayorOfLA, @GavinNewsom, @LAPDHQ, @LASDHQ & @NathanHochmanDA,

Well done!

Let’s chase away the few insurance companies willing to stay in California after the fires and previous riots.

As for the insurance companies willing to stay, let’s not enforce law and order—giving them more reason to jack up premiums.

This adds to the ridiculously high cost of housing (2x that of the nat’l average), of operating a business and of living in this state.

Routine comms. Could be forensically useful, and give the IDF a window into how Hamas coordinate with outsiders, possibly. Their electronics were probably not hugely valuable from an intelligence standpoint. Ditching them probably had three purposes:
1. A stunt. Make 'em look like fighters and shit.
2. Hamas probably asked them to. Why give up more than you have to?
3. Personal ass-covering. You can be sure everyone on that boat said some ... unseemly things they wouldn't want to get out. And in case someone back home decides to prosecute them for something, why the law dogs any help?

Interesting theory, but I think you have to consider the players. I really do believe the left has turned into Non-Player Character. They are told to do or believe or support something....and off they go. Ukraine, Gaza, Harris, BLM, ANTIFA, RIOTS, Illegal Immigrant Criminals. There is no rational justification to get solidly behind any of these issues unless you're just doing so because it has been so ordered.

Often I wonder if the play callers are sitting at a board table somewhere sipping a glass of scotch and coming up with scenarios like. "I'll bet you my home in Miami that I can get a movement going that believes men can get pregnant." "I'll take that action. Is it waterfront?"

Oh definitely. Nobody is out protesting in the streets because they genuinely are upset at wasteful spending being cut. They are out because they've been told to go out. They don't know what is going on or what is wrong (you can tell, because when they are asked, the literally don't know). They activate because they are told to, because they feel it gives meaning to their life, and because they are subjects of their mighty God-king, the leftist cabal in government.

Oh, and they are convinced that no matter what the action, its evil and wrong if the center or right does it. Remember Stephen Colbert's audience applauding the firing of James Comey until they were told it was now a Bad Thing™ because Trump did it?

I'm not sure it's possible, if we're talking about a biological female and salt water.

Which means most girls would wind up being buoys.
