Daily Tech News 4 May 2024
Top Story
- The judge in the Google antitrust trial is considering imposing sanctions over Google's practice of deliberately deleting all records of sensitive internal conversations. (Ars Technica)
Having seen other big tech companies get in trouble when the DOJ went over their records, Google decided it would simply not keep any records.
It's a bold strategy.
- Working on migrating everything to a new server given the recent issues. I'll post a notice if / when downtime is expected.
Tech News
- Building a Threadripper workstation and need lots of fast memory but also want ECC? V-Color has you covered. (Serve the Home)
192GB at DDR5-7200 speeds.
Though you only get full speed if you have one DIMM per channel, so if you need more (and your motherboard has more than four slots) it will slow down.
- If you need even faster memory - like HBM - you can place your orders now for delivery in 2026. (AnandTech)
Hynix's production is already sold out for 2024 and most of 2025.
- Google's search results, already almost useless, are getting worse. (The Register)
"It has happened," wrote developer Arian van Putten in a social media post over the weekend. "The number one Google result was an official Pulumi documentation page that was clearly written by an LLM (it had a disclaimer that it was) and hallucinated an AWS feature that didn't exist. This is the beginning of the end."
Pulumi, the company generating the AI results, has been very responsive to the problem, has taken down two thirds of the pages and is reviewing the remainder for incorrect answers.
Google meanwhile offered the cannedest of canned replies.
Bing, meanwhile... Didn't have the same problem. So score one for Microsoft.
- Generating 1024 bit prime numbers the hard way. (GlitchComet)

"No computer, no AI can replace a human touch," said Amy Grewal, a registered nurse. "It cannot hold your loved one's hand. You cannot teach a computer how to have empathy or make obnoxious tik-tok videos instead of treating patients."

It's so easy to get caught up in the commotion of hatred going on in colleges right now.
I find myself wishing death upon the pale-swine "protestors" simply because they wish the same upon me and mine.
What is the solution here? It's so hard to pray for my enemies, other than to pray for their demise!
What now?

-- Obama and his administration
In the middle of directing the difficult task of transferring the historically important records of the Obama administration into the National Archives, the archivist in charge, David Ferriero, ran into a serious problem: A lot of key records are missing. . ."

When the troops were about to capture the tower and were forcing the door of the courtyard, they ordered that fire be brought and the doors burned. Being surrounded, Razis fell upon his own sword, [42] preferring to die nobly rather than to fall into the hands of sinners and suffer outrages unworthy of his noble birth. [43] But in the heat of the struggle he did not hit exactly, and the crowd was now rushing in through the doors. He bravely ran up on the wall, and manfully threw himself down into the crowd. [44] But as they quickly drew back, a space opened and he fell in the middle of the empty space. [45] Still alive and aflame with anger, he rose, and though his blood gushed forth and his wounds were severe he ran through the crowd; and standing upon a steep rock, [46] with his blood now completely drained from him, he tore out his entrails, took them with both hands and hurled them at the crowd, calling upon the Lord of life and spirit to give them back to him again. This was the manner of his death.

No; I don’t think it’s ok to tell posters who aren’t trolls and who haven’t said anything malevolent to others to go kill themselves. But yes, he seems to enjoy the little routine.

I read the essay, but I think the author misses the point of why Marxism/Maoism/Communism resonates with some people. The author doesn't seem to grasp that there is a spiritual component to Communism.
In of over 150 years of failure, and 100+ millions people murdered, why do some people still find Marxism attractive? The proponents of Marxism are in pursuit of a materialist Utopia, but it goes way beyond economics. That's why utilitarian arguments (are you hearing this GOPe drones?) don't dissuade Marxists.
Marxism requires the commission of the Sins of Pride, Theft, Anger and Envy -- all while masquerading as compassion for the poor. That's why I'm now of the belief that Marxism was inspired by Satan.
Jesus Christ is the Truth, the Way, and the Life. If He were just some crackpot Jewish carpenter that lived 2000 years ago, why do the Marxists expend so much energy in persecuting or corrupting Christian churches?

Why do we call it the Neo-Nazi Left? Because its goal is to impose a socialist state through the mass murder of millions of people, particularly but not exclusively Jews. Much as in Nazi Germany, those people include political dissenters and anyone else they see as standing in their way. What Stalin and Hitler failed to accomplish, they hope to achieve through many of the same methods.
What is happening at Columbia University, Yale and many other schools is not an aberration, like the Weathermen plans to kill 25 million Americans, it’s the truest expression of an ugly extremist movement that has learned nothing from its worst crimes in the twentieth century.
And we ignore their tactics and threats at our peril.

Marlon Perkins: Here we see Jim trying to coax the zebra into a cage. He’s getting closer and, … what! Get away, Jim! That zebra has a rifle! Bang! Whew, that was close! One of the native porters was winged, but another is trying to ride him and take the gun away. The zebra is bucking and … the porter is down by a tranq dart! The zebra is getting away, with his rifle!

The history of how the big red cheese ended up as "Shazam" at DC comics and Marvel acquired the "Captain Marvel" name is convoluted. Much less how Marvel's original "Captain Mar-Vell of the Kree" ended up as Brie Larson.

It unnecessarily fatigues the aircraft. NOE flying is about the worst thing you can do if you want to extend the life of your aircraft. And some aircraft used in the forestry service already have years behind them. Not worth it for a gag. It is hard to convince people of this. It's also hard to convince them that getting up in altitude to cruise for even for short sorties reduces turbulence gust intensity also helping to extend structure life. Even accounting for greater pressurization cycles.

On the ER topic
I have taken my 85 year old Old Mama to the ER on many occaisions.
She waits, because EMTALA says treatment, money or none, OK.
The infuriating part is that the ER is full of people who are clearly not local (I can speak Spanish if I want to) and so-
Americans who pay, wait.
"Newcomers" who have never paid and never will, hey, first come, first served.
Americans both wait, and pay.
This, in part, explains Trump.

My mother began her RN career in the ER in 1954. She stayed there until 1984 when she took a position teaching trauma nursing at the hospital 's nursing school. One of the few times anything negative came out of her mouth was her statement that she had become tired of being a social worker. She commented once about growing up poor. Dirt poor during the thirties but they always worked hard and never took a handout. She didn't see the poor who started flooding the ERs in the same light. She was a staunch Goldwater Republican while dad was an FDR Democrat. Political discussions in our family were rare. She would have loved Trump.

Mothra was freakin' great. Had never seen it before. Looked fantastic on bluray. Pretty decent story. Ended well. I'd totally bang the two foot tall midget twins. Interesting in that the city what gets torn up at the end is a sort of NYC analogue but with palm trees.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Fun fact: Mark Hamill only got the role of Luke Skywalker when his roommate and fellow struggling actor Robert Englund, showed him the script that his agent had given him and said "This sounds like a part for you."
In other words, Hamill became Luke because Freddy Krueger passed on the script.
Also, Lucas's people apparently thought Freddy Krueger was the look they were going for.

Does a sighting count? When they were filming Heart of Dixie on the Ole Miss Campus, my wife-to-be and I were driving around the square downtown, and I slowed to allow this anorexic-looking young woman dash across the street, running with her head tucked down. Behind her came this sauntering seedy, vagrant-looking bearded fellow with a contented smile.
We make our way past them, and wife-to-be says "Wow!" When I ask, she says, that was Phoebe Cates and Kevin Kline. I can only say that Hollywood works miracles with make-up, lighting, and lenses, because glamorous those two were not.

Had to look up the name (not K-H, know him); didn't recognize it. Probably saw them as I went to a lot of Cosmos games at Giants Stadium from the fall of '82 to whenever they folded in, what, '86 or '88? Saw club friendlies, including Maradona with Napoli, Kevin Keegan with Newcastle and others. Saw the Cosmos play a tune-up with Peru for their '82 World Cup appearance. Cosmos trounced them 5-2, scoring 2 or 3 goals down to 10 men on a cold, heavy flurries, March day. Got tix for the W.C. in '94, also in Jersey; I remember scalping two Italy-Ireland tix, $90 face, for a grand. Won a lottery for the 1/4's and saw Jurgen Klinsmann play against Bulgaria. Stoichkov scored one goal in a 2-1 Bulgaria win; Stoichkov was Europe's player of the year that year.
I've seen the USMNT twice, once at the Meadowlands (a 4-0 friendly win against Mexico) and another time at Rutgers (a friendly 0-0 draw with Colombia).
I miss going to games. I enjoyed them.
Yeah, I'm one of those people.

Mothra was freakin' great. Had never seen it before. Looked fantastic on bluray. Pretty decent story. Ended well. I'd totally bang the two foot tall midget twins. Interesting in that the city what gets torn up at the end is a sort of NYC analogue but with palm trees."
I love that Mothra film - it's the most surrealistic of any of the Kaiju films, and that's because of the little princesses. You say they're too feet tall - well pay attention if you see it again, their size changes continually throughout. Sometimes they're only 6 inches tall, sometimes they're like weird hobbits. And the Japanese version of Pacific Islander culture is deliciously insane!

Never had the opportunity myself to be an extra, but my cousin Linda got the opportunity when they were filming part of Heaven's Gate in Wallace, Idaho. She said that Michael Cimino was insane in his insistence on complete authenticity - any storefront window in a scene had to showcase displays of vintage era goods, and everyone, extras included, had to wear authentic period costumes down to the skivvies. According to her, Christopher Walken and Sam Waterston were fairly regular guys, but Kris Kristofferson was ... not.

I could readily believe it. From what I've read, he always considered himself a dancer, and probably loved carrying an entire video on showing his skills. There's a Mel Gibson interview on Youtube somewhere about him wanting to cast Walken in Braveheart. Gibson said Walken met with him at a party in NYC on the roof of the Peninsula Hotel. He talked about how gracefully Walken moved - he "slid sideways" through the crowd right up to Gibson and his assistant.
And they began to talk. And the more they talked, Gibson said, the more Walken weirded him out. At one point his assistant left, and Gibson said that he knew at that point he didn't want to work with Walken, but couldn't explain why Then Walken flashes this strange smile, and Gibson feels compelled to look behind him and see what Walken's seeing. There, on a rooftop, as part of an ad, are the numbers 6,6,6. Gibson is officially freaked out at this point and ends the meeting quickly.

Quentin Tarentino had (unusally) what I thought was a good take on Walken - in the 80s and the 90s, he was seen as leading man material, and was going all out for that. When it didn't materialize in the way that either he or Hollywood hoped, then he began playing the "character" Christopher Walken. As Tarentinto pointed out, it was at that point where the Walken imitations and parodies really caught fire, because Walken himself was parodying Walken.

Posted by: hart
The key period for Walken was 1980-1990. That bookends the first film where he had the lead role, Dogs of War, and the last, King of New York. The big one in that timeframe was The Dead Zone. Hollywood apparently saw promise there, but it didn't pan out. That's the thing, though - in such an insular place, oddities like Walken can sometimes get on their radar, whether it makes sense or not.

That was an awesome movie, based on an Alistair MacLean novel. Bronson seems to have been an interesting fellow. Kurt Russell told a story about working with him on The Travels of Jamie McPheeters. A teen-age Kurt found out it was Bronson's birthday and got him a gift. Bronson looked at it blankly, then walked away without saying anything. Russell didn't know what to think, but caught up later with Bronson and asked him what happened. Bronson just said, nobody ever got me a present before.

As an Ole Miss alum, I admit I may be a bit biased, but the article in the link definitely had a pro-Palestine angle to it. In usual media fashion, they "correct" the headline several paragraphs down with the information that one person in the crowd was simulating ape behavior and making chimp-like noises. One idiot in any mass gathering is hardly an indicator of the entirety of the crowd.
From what I can tell, the pro-Hamas demonstrator was aggravated when the crowd drowned out her every word with "terrorists," and she moved forward to possibly provoke a confrontation. Some in the Ole Miss crowd called her "Lizzo" and made fun of her weight. Not nice, perhaps, but agitating to kill Jews is arguably less so, to put it mildly. The funny part to me is that the UPD intervened for the Hamas crowd's safety and whisked them off-campus. Bad old Ole Miss actually saved their terrorist-loving asses from the consequences of what they were doing.

More photos here The IG channel discover_civilizations says:
The Rock Tomb of Kapilikaya The present day country of Turkey is home to many well-known megalithic sites such as Gobekli Tepe, Hattusha and Midas Kenti, but it is also home to a much lesser known yet equally impressive ancient site known as "Kapilikaya." Located about 27 kilometers north of the city of Corum and hidden away inside a mountainous outcropping is an ancient structure known as the "Tomb of Kapilikaya." [It] is thought to be a tomb of the Hellenistic period, dating back to approximately the 2nd century B.C. Rising above a gentle stream that flows beneath on the forest floor, a steep trail winds up the left side of the rock outcropping and eventually leads to a platform of stairs located directly in front of the tomb. The tomb is not simply a door shaped façade but is actually a cube shaped structure cut out of the mountain, only connecting to the natural rock around it at a few points. From inside you can actually walk all the way around it or climb up onto its top. The inner chamber of the tomb can only be accessed through entering a small square opening about halfway up the face of the structure. An inscription above the entrance reads "IKEZIOS," 2 which some believe is attributed to an ancient commander named Ikezius.

When I was a Navy recruiter, this young man scored a 99 on the ASVAB, the classifier offered him Equipment Operator. He asked me if it was a good job and I said ‘heck, it’s the best’, of course I’m an EO, so what could I say? Oh yeah, he already had scholarship offers to USC, Clemson, UGA, GT, Furman and this was in the mid80s when college still meant something. You get the idea. He was a good kid, lost track of him. Didn’t enlist.

It had an ending you'd not see today -- fine the worst platoon in the unit shaped up and won the 'Best Platoon' award at the end of training but they also showed the guys helping each other, the squad's worst non-comical soldier not only completes the training course well but volunteers for the regular army; and the squad bought their Company Sergeant, who was retiring with the platoon being his last one trained, a fancy cigarette lighter with a note thanking him "from the Boys".
First in the series that was made just as a one-off film so it's a bit more serious than the later ones and less madcap. [No Sid James either!]

CIA Operative Brags: We Hid Information From the Commander-in-Chief All the Time
A video posted on social media by James O'Keefe features Amjad Anton Fseisi, purported to be the project manager for cyber operations at the CIA. In the video, the undercover reporter for O'Keefe Media Group gets Fseisi to admit that several intelligence agencies deliberately withheld information from Trump out of some absurd fear that he might "disclose it." Fseisi is seen in the recording admitting that intelligence agencies "all got together and said, 'We're not gonna tell Trump.'" "The executive staff," Fseisi said in response to a question about who specifically was involved in the decision. "We're talking about the director and his subordinates." That would include Pompeo and Haspel. According to Fseisi, the intelligence agencies "kept information from [Trump] because we knew he'd f***ing disclose it." "There are certain people that would... give him a high-level overview but never give him any details. You know why? Because he'll leak those details." And can you guess why Fseisi says Trump would leak sensitive information? Because Trump is... wait for it... a Russian asset! "He's a Russian asset," Fseisi claimed. "He's owned by the f***ing Russians." But there's more. "Amjad reveals to OMG's Undercover American Swiper that intel agencies not only kept intelligence information from a sitting United States President and Commander-In-Chief, they also used FISA to spy on [Donald Trump]," O'Keefe says on X/Twitter. "And his team and [sic] are still monitoring President Trump according to Amjad who says, 'We monitor everything.' Amjad adds 'we also have people that monitor his ex-wife. He likes to use burner phones' -- information only an insider with access to highly sensitive information would state." ... When O'Keefe confronted Fseisi on the streets of Washington, D.C., he denied making the statements in the above video.Video at the link.
Here's an interesting and troubling fact: so-called "recovering FBI agent" Kyle Seraphim chose this moment, just as O'Keefe was readying this report, to make an insane and likely defamatory attack on O'Keefe:
Rep. Matt Gaetz

1. The true conspirators -- Strzok, Page, etc., who knew the story was BS
2. The easily duped -- those who went along because they thought Trump actually was a Russian agent (likely because they were partisan Democrats predisposed to believe what the Democrat line was)
3. The overly trusting -- those who went along because they trusted their chain of command, which couldn't be wrong, and
4. The cynical careerists -- those who had enough common sense to see the tory was BS, but went along out of, at first, a belief that Hillary was going to win (which everyone knew) and no one wanted to be on their bad side and, later, out of self-protection.
It sounds like this guy was Group 2.

Actually, so far as he could judge, the majority of people in Airstrip One were small, dark, and ill-favoured. It was curious how that beetle-like type proliferated in the Ministries: little dumpy men, growing stout very early in life, with short legs, swift scuttling movements, and fat inscrutable faces with very small eyes. It was the type that seemed to flourish best under the dominion of the Party.
The little beetle-like men who scuttle so nimbly through the labyrinthine corridors of Ministries they, too, would never be vaporized. It seemed to him that he knew instinctively who would survive and who would perish: though just what it was that made for survival, it was not easy to say.

I don't believe he did. He was probably the last man who could have stopped them, and unfortunately by the time he was Prez, he was getting old. And further, as a military man, he believed in the chain of command. He would have been perfectly comfortable with not knowing things happening within his command, as long as he felt confident the people he put in charge of various departments were competent and loyal.

Timothy Leary was considered to be a CIA contractor. It is “interesting” to me that after playing around with Acid in the 50s - at first, the intellectual set decided that it should only be available to the “Elite”. It wasn’t yet illegal.
The Swiss were the only one who knew how to make it, and the CIA wanted to buy the world’s entire stock, in order to avoid it falling into the hands of the Soviets. Within 10 years, it was fueling the 60s Generation, Time-Life Hippies and the rest of it. One huge OP to fry everybody’s brain. Tune in, turn on, drop out, Man! Groovy!

A new poll from Rassmussen puts Trump up by 10 in a three way race, 46% to 36%. RFJJr. picks up 9%.
Trump leads with 18-39-year-olds by two points, 36 to 34 percent. Trump earns 21 percent of the black vote, while Biden earns just 61 percent. That number should be closer to 90 percent. Only 70 percent of Democrats support Biden. Trump earns 16 percent Democrat support. Trump earns 80 percent Republican support. Biden sits at ten percent. In a five-way match-up between Trump, Biden, the Green Party's Jill Stein, Kennedy Jr., and former Harvard Professor Cornel West, The Donald's lead jumps to 12 points over Slow Joe, 48 to 36 percent. Kennedy pulls eight percent support. Stein and West top out at a single point. In this five-way race, Trump's lead over Biden with Hispanics jumps to 15 points, 45 to 30 percent. "Despite being on trial in New York City, former President Donald Trump has widened his lead over President Joe Biden during the past month," says the pollster.
Related: Karine Jean-Pierre was asked why Biden doesn't speak up about the anti-semitism on college campuses. She said that he spoke out about Charlottesville, so he didn't have to call out antisemtism now. She's actually claiming that because Biden made an opportunistic political attack on Trump, he doesn't have to call out his own voters' antisemitism.

: "And then, here at home, there's been some dramatic images really across the country over the last 24-48 hours, especially with the Columbia -- UCLA last night University of Madison, Wisconsin, um other campuses. Has the President been monitoring this and why have we not heard directly from the President about these protests that have taken over its institutions of higher learning across the country, the police responses, instances of violence? Why haven't we heard directly from the President?" KJP: "So, just a couple of things. The President is -- is being kept regularly updated on what's happening. Uh, as you just stated, across the country, he is monitoring the situation closely, so is his team. And I would just add that no President -- no president has spoken more forcefully about combating anti-Semitism than this President . Let's not forget in 2017. He was very clear what we saw -- the anti-Semitic vile that we saw in Charlottesville -- on the streets of Charlottesville. He called that out. He called that out. And one of the reasons he stepped into the 2020 election is because of what he saw, -- is because he wanted to -- uh -- he wanted to speak out and speak against what we were seeing in this country at that time -- uh -- democracy was under attack. Our freedoms were under attack, and we're still fighting for that today, obviously, but it -- he hasn't just done that by speaking. As you heard from my topper, he's taken action. He's taken action by moving forward with the first ever U.S. national strategy to counter anti-Semitism, more than 100 new actions -- uh -- have -- were introduced, obviously, in that strategy, and that is how seriously this President takes it. Uh, and I think what's important here is that he's taken action on this issue."

On October 2, 2021, racing driver Brandon Brown was being interviewed by NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, following his victory in the NASCAR Xfinity Series 2021 Sparks 300 race which was shortened due to darkness. Fans were chanting "Fuck Joe Biden",and this became audible to viewers of the broadcast. On the live broadcast, while wearing a headset reporter Stavast stated, "You can hear the chants from the crowd, 'Let's go, Brandon!'" As of December 2023, Stavast has not clarified whether she misunderstood the chant or whether she intentionally misquoted it. A reporter with the Associated Press said that the chant was "at first difficult to make out".

Trump's Defense Finds a Lot of Helpful Testimony from a Surprising Source -- Stormy Daniel's Lawyer/Blackmail Agent
Stormy Daniels' lawyer was quizzed as a witness in Trump's bulls*** trial.
He made a bunch of statements that are very helpful to Trump. First of all, he made it clear that Stormy Daniels was pressuring Trump to pay her off or else she'd go public with her claims. This is called "blackmail" in most jurisdictions. Jurors may well wonder who the victim is here. Surely not the "New York state political disclosure laws."Well, yeah. Next, for reasons I'm not clear on, the sleazebag extortionist insisted that the payments to Stormy Daniels were not hush money at all. The jury doesn't have to accept his claim. But the Soros DA is claiming Trump covered up "hush money" payments, and the party who negotiated those payments (or extorted them) says they weren't hush money payments at all. They were just "consideration." The quid for the quo of Stormy Daniels not carrying through with her blackmail threat.
The ex-lawyer of adult film actress Stormy Daniels testified Thursday that he thought Donald Trump was "going to lose" the 2016 presidential election, and pressed trump's ex-lawyer Michael Cohen to settle the payment before losing "leverage." During the final rounds of questioning to Daniel's lawyer, Keith Davidson, he admitted he spoke to Cohen, pressing him to settle the $130,000 payment to Daniels to quiet her claims of an alleged extramarital affair she had with Trump in 2006, before the 2016 election. He said Trump "will lose", and subsequently his client would lose her leverage. Trump has denied every having the affair. That phone call was described as intense and full of expletives. Trump's defense team is hoping to connect that call with Davidson's alleged pattern of squeezing people for money during vulnerable times.
Finally, the extortionist revealed reasons to doubt the Soros DA's "star witness" Michael Cohen. Cohen was so distraught that Trump was not taking him to DC that he considered suicide. That is a huge motive to lie to get vengeance.
Davidson earlier Thursday said that the $130,000 payment to Daniels was not "hush money," but a "consideration" payment. Consideration" is a contractual legal term for what someone gives in return for the promise to abide by a contract; in this case, money. The payment was labeled "legal fees" in Trump's accounting, which prosecutors allege amounted to fraud. Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Johsua Steinglass earlier pressed Davidson about Daniels' statement, which Davidson prepared for his client, that denied any relationship with Trump and said that her only interaction with Trump was "a few public appearances and nothing more." "Rumors that I have received hush money from Donald Trump are completely false," the statement says."I don't believe that Stormy ever alleged that any interaction with Trump was 'romantic,'" Davidson testified Thursday. But it is his understanding that Daniels had a sexual encounter with Trump.He also said the payment "wasn't a payoff.""It wasn't a payoff. And it wasn't hush money. It was consideration," Davidson said. Davidson added that he would never use "hush money" to describe the money exchange. He would only refer to it as "consideration."
"Can you f---ing believe I'm not going to Washington after everything I've done for that guy. I can't believe I'm not going to Washington...I've save[d] his a--..."Cohen told Davidson. According to Davidson, Cohen wanted to be Attorney General or White House chief of staff. Davidson testified that he thought Cohen was so distressed that he wasn't going to work in the Trump administration that he might kill himself.Trump continues thwarting the Democrats' scheme to keep him too tied up in court to do any campaigning:

He was calling it “consideration” (which is perfectly legal and indeed the basis of any valid contract) rather than “hush money” because the latter, when coupled with the obvious blackmail-y circumstances of the payment, would open up him (and his client) to a criminal bribery claim. Remember, that’s what got Avenatti, IIRC.

I think Trump will be convicted after a surprisingly short period of deliberation. They've got a Manhattan jury predisposed to hate the defendant. I doubt the jurors have much interest in the actual evidence presented.

IIRC, it's blackmail when the behavior being covered up is illegal. When it's not illegal (as is the case here), it's extortion.
On another note...
I have a vague recollection of Ms. Daniels claiming a few years ago that Cohen (and Trump, via association) sent thugs to threaten her into accepting the money. The difference in the story from Davidson is interesting...

The amusing thing is that besides turning Trump into a martyr, it's backfiring because although Trump's rallies are awesome, footage from the rallies reminds a lot of people why they don't like Trump.

1) get it and hope it works instead of hurts you
2) don't get it and instead hang around with young to grade-school age kids so your immune system gets regular updates of chickenpox virus so your immune system won't forget what it looks like as the virus hides in your nervous system waiting for your immune system to forget what it looks like
Shingles is painful because the virus kills nerves, which makes the stubs register "pain"

I know a guy who was crippled for life from a sneeze. He was working under a car and with the position his body was in and the reaction to the sneeze it did something to his back or a nerve, I don't know the details, but he hobbled around for the rest of his life with a crooked leg and his foot twisted inward.

I find it rather amusing when leftists say people who voted for him "worship" Trump. Why? Because he had rallies? Obama never did that?!! I know someone who had a little shrine like thing to Obama in her house. Because Trump was selling a Bible and people bought it? So what? I didn't buy it. I don't care if people did. Trump isn't actually mentioned in the Bible, I tell them. i went to seminary and I know that.

It should be noted that Shingrix doesnt just protect against shingles, though. They can't officially say it cuts down on the risk of that certain other disease because no Official Study or FDA approval had been issued, but a little googling will reveal the (real) reason your doctor wants you to take it.

After the second one I had a much less arm soreness, and for only one day; I felt tired and a bit run-down for 18 hours. Overall, no serious after-effects. Not a bad as I was warned may occur.

Biden Is Giving Obamcare to DACA Illegals
Of course they claimed this would never happen when they first imposed DACA.
President Biden's administration on Friday formalized a new policy of opening Obamacare health insurance exchanges to people who arrived illegally in the US as children who have Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status. The change, pending since last year, is projected to ease access to insurance and federal subsidies for roughly 100,000 uninsured DACA status holders and could soften the blow to pro-immigration advocates if Biden tries to curb record-high illegal immigration before the Nov. 5 election. "This landmark final rule will make DACA recipients eligible for the Affordable Care Act coverage for the first time. It is projected to help more than 100,000 DACA recipients gain coverage," an administration official said on a press call. "By providing new opportunities for quality, affordable care healthcare, this rule will give DACA recipients that peace of mind and opportunity that every American deserves." The DACA program was created in 2012 by then-President Barack Obama when the DREAM Act failed to pass the Senate and grants eligible applicants access to deportation protection and work permits. In 2017, President Donald Trump attempted to scrap DACA while saying Congress should approve a similar program. The Supreme Court overruled him in 2020. There were fewer than 600,000 DACA recipients as of last year, down from a peak of more than 700,000. Immigration is one of the 81-year-old Biden's top liabilities in his anticipated rematch against Trump, who is vowing to launch a mass deportation campaign after unprecedented illegal immigration under Biden. Under Biden, most people who illegally cross the Mexican border are allowed to enter the US to pursue asylum claims in a move Republicans say encourages others to follow. Shortly after taking office, Biden halted construction of Trump's US-Mexico border wall and terminated the "Remain in Mexico" policy that required asylum seekers to await rulings on their claims of persecution south of the border. The DACA benefits expansion comes amid reporting that Biden may seek to demonstrate a tougher approach to the border as polling shows the issue as a major election liability. An Associated Press poll last month found that 56% of respondents said Biden made "immigration and border security" worse.Not only will they be on Obamacare -- which Obama promised illegals would not be allowed to access -- but they'll also be getting discounted insurance. US taxpayers will be paying for their subsidies.
We editorialized about this last year, when the idea was first floated by President Biden, noting that it confirmed that Barack Obama did in fact lie when he claimed that his health-care program would not provide benefits to illegal immigrants. A "fact sheet" from the White House estimates that 100,000 illegal immigrants will receive benefits through the program. It explains, "Starting in November, DACA recipients can apply for coverage through HealthCare.gov and state-based marketplaces, where they may qualify for financial assistance to help them purchase quality health insurance."
So, to be clear, illegal immigrants won't merely be able to use the Obamacare portal to shop but will also be able to receive federal subsidies based on income, potentially qualifying for completely free medical coverage. There is also no reason to feel confident that the government will be able to accurately verify income for this population. This is another example of executive overreach from a lawless administration.

This is a good thing, Ace. Did you not see the jobs report earlier today? The only "bright" spot was in medical services. That sector needs to keep growing or unemployment will be even worse! Don't worry about the price tag or the catastrophic downstream effects.

Honestly, it's all really just an accounting trick.
It's not like these people haven't been clogging up healthcare facilities, so it's really just a question of which pile of fake money do they pull the numbers out of.
When you're already 34 trillion dollars in debt, there's not really anything such as real money anywhere, anyway.

Fuck 'em. If they do it, I will do one of two things:
1. Convert all of my wealth into physical shit I can stand in front of (gold, etc.).
2. Spend it. All of it. Live large until it's gone and go nuts, then go on welfare and wait for the end.
I would rather set it on fire (waste it on shit I don't need or even particularly want) than give it to them. Oh, I'd send some cash - literal cash - to some people I like, but the rest I would probably just convert as reasonable and then waste the rest in an orgy of profligacy.

And that's really the crux of it for most of us. It used to be a common understanding that there was a difference between an immigrant and an illegal alien. We used to understand the concept of the Melting Pot and e pluribus unum. But today all of that is racist. Expecting a foreigner moving to America to become an American Citizen is xenophobic. But today, illegal aliens get better benefits than our veterans and the rest of us have to shut up.

Yup. I know. I've been working since I was 17. I have been net tax-positive (pay more than I get) since I was 22. I have been paying into this execrable system my entire life. Paying, and paying, and paying. Every year, just paying and paying. Over that entire time, I have consumed *nothing* from that system other than the "free rider" things (roads, police (ha), postal service, etc.). In the good years, my net tax burden to the feds has been bigger than what some people have as income. In bad years, it was barely positive. But since I entered the workforce full-time, it's never once been negative.
And in exchange for that, I am piece of shit. A cow to be milked for those who "deserve" it. I don't "deserve" it, obviously. Livestock is a productive asset, not an object of affection. Nobody cares about what the cow "deserves." The cow is there for milk, meat and leather.

Taxpayers are fully funding the illegal immigrant invasion of their schools. Teachers are being forced to take an extraordinary number of illegal immigrants, most of whom don't speak the language, overwhelming staff resources. They are also stealing services from students who need extra attention. Best part? They are going to increase taxes to pay for it, peasants.

Off topic:
Rasmussen Reports today has Trump +12 in the 5-way (RAS doesn't poll the H2H for some reason). +12 looks like an outlier, but if this poll IS significant, it's because they had T +7 a month ago.
So far, there's no measurable fallout from the show trial.

More than a few likely have political ambitions. Just wait until they run, and unseat the very politicians that voted to bring them here, feed and house them.
Talk about "voting for it." This.... in spades.

There used to be a carrot. The carrot was, "you keep most of it, and can afford to give your family a good life."
With a wealth tax, and tripling the capital gains tax and the various other insanities, that carrot is vanishing. People respond to incentives and if you want to leach off of them, you have to keep it reasonable.

You can read something similar right now, today, in the country on which our government has remodeled itself: Red China.
The CCP keeps cracking down on the comparisons, but people keep making new ones. Two common ones that they can't seem to fully suppress are "leeks" and "minerals." As in, "I am a leek" or "I am a mineral."
Leeks are to be cut down every season, harvested, and allowed to grow back ("sheering the sheep" is probably the most common Western equivalent).
Minerals are mines to be extracted until exhausted, then abandoned. I don't know the Western equivalent of this one. We might not have it yet. We will.
People thinking of themselves as "leeks" in the eyes of their government is unhealthy. People thinking of themselves as "minerals" is disastrous.

I don't know, I don't think it matters, western NY has been devastated by the Donks and Democrat policies, In a recent special election that favored the Democrat by 9pts, he won by 36 points, which mean either the people just don't give about anything other than party preference or voting is complete bullshit, maybe both are true, but I just don't see what is going to change the dynamic short of total protonic inversion.

1. Special elections are about organization and almost nothing else.
2. If NY is failing, you can still move somewhere more free like FL.
As long as there are bastions to freely move to, it's going to dampen the mood to actually make changes that may require extra-legal methods.
It's when places like FL become untenable that things can get sporty. We're very far from sporty.

My take. This is the same elderly man who went to a low rent Asian massage parlor in FL a couple of years ago. He managed to get himself arrested for soliciting prostitution.

Well, the people aren't acting that way. I've been saying since 2020 that the Great Migration is conservatives fleeing blue states to red ones while progressives flee blue enclaves for the suburbs.
Red states are getting redder and bigger. Blue states are getting bluer and smaller.
And then there's the illegal immigration.
I'm not sure there's saving the nation as a whole. There may be hope in finding yourself in a state that is more sane than California, though.

He got Columbia University's attention when he announced that he would no longer support the school because of all their pro-Hamas bullzh*t.
My take. This is the same elderly man who went to a low rent Asian massage parlor in FL a couple of years ago. He managed to get himself arrested for soliciting prostitution.

America is Back, Baby! Biden Insults Top US Asian Ally Japan to Show How Enlightened His Open-Border Policy Is
(And the site is back, baby!)
Remember, Biden considers his foreign policy "expertise" to be his greatest strength.
The decrepit dolt Biden showed off his famously "earthy" racism again, attacking, out-of-the-blue, India and our closest Asian ally and friend, Japan. He attacked them in order to make his open border seem virtuous.
President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that "xenophobia" from China to Japan and India is hobbling their growth, as he argued that migration has been good for the U.S. economy. "One of the reasons why our economy's growing is because of you and many others. Why? Because we welcome immigrants," Biden said at a Washington fundraising event for his 2024 re-election campaign and marking the start of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. "Why is China stalling so badly economically, why is Japan having trouble, why is Russia, why is India, because they're xenophobic. They don't want immigrants. Immigrants are what makes us strong."This wasn't just a single gaffe -- he also attacked Japan as misogynist, too. America is back, Baby! By the way: He attacked China, too. I was repeatedly -- nay, unceasingly -- told that attacking China was "racist" whenever Trump did it. And now...? Crickets, obviously.
Dan McLaughlin
@baseballcrank Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, everyone!
Prison MitchFrom Nick Arama at RedState. Philip Patrick from Spectator World says that Japan is angry.
@MidnightMitch "My son Beau committed seppuku to fight xenophobia."
The insult is being especially keenly felt over here in Tokyo; it comes less than a month after a lavish and carefully choreographed love in between Biden and Japanese prime minister Fumio Kishida. There was a marching band, a formal state dinner, and an atmosphere of mutual admiration all designed to present the two leaders as not just staunch allies but bosom buddies. Nobody over here much bought into that representation -- the mini-summit was seen as being mainly for domestic consumption from two under-pressure leaders -- but the swiftness of the change of tone is still surprising in its sheer, brazen rudeness. And gall (Biden has condemned Donald Trump for anti-immigrant rhetoric on numerous occasions). It's as if a colleague whom you always imagined you had reasonable relations with suddenly tells you they hate your guts.
Reminder that Biden yesterday called Japan, a U.S. partner and ally "xenophobic", and it's somehow not a lead story today (which is why most people have apathy against the media's super serious outrage at Donald Trump) https://t.co/cuZU7rCstg

Joe Biden attacks Shinzo Abe & blaming his economic policies as to why we in Japan are Xenophobic against Immigrants.
So disrespectful! 😡

The last line in that could be carved into stone when it comes to Joe Biden. And the Party. And the entire United States Government. And all the country's institution.
It's anchored by and centered on disrespect.

And did CBD walk in and give hickory shampoos to get them working, or did Ace negotiate with the terrorists and promise them fresh water and the broken shelves to chew on?
And if Japan is pissed, does that we get more or less tentacle pron? Quick, someone ask Kurt Eichenwald.

Oh man. So, datacenters like in many other places with high electrical demand and very bad consequences if something goes completely insane, there is an EPO - an Emergency Power Off. It's usually a big red button behind glass or plexi. If there's a true emergency - fire, major hacking event, etc. - you hit the EPO. Outside of those events, you loudly pretend that the EPO does not exist, because it's a *very* dangerous button.
At a company where I worked, a new security guard was working his first night and entered the raised floor area to do his patrol. He didn't know - and didn't figure out - that you had to authenticate *out* of the raised floor as well as *in.* He never thought to tap his badge on the reader and go back through the man trap.
He hit the EPO. When nothing happened, he hit the second EPO button next to it. The door sure opened then, when the entire site went offline. He is the only person I saw fired on the spot, immediately.
Took us three days to catch up on processing.

Ugh.
At that same company, I was put on a new platform for ops. I was given the operations manual and paired up with an "operations expert" - a coworker with 10 *years* of experience on the platform - to answer questions.
The manual look like, "at 23:00 ET, enter . On the first screen, press "1." On the second screen, press "F." On the third screen, press the up arrow."
I asked my assigned mentor what any of this shit actually *did* - you know, so I could understand the platform and help fix it when things inevitably went sideways. Deer in the headlights. "We follow the procedures in the book." She had no clue, and never had enough curiosity to ask. Neither did the others. The whole platform had been being run as a cargo cult for years. It's amazing it never blew to pieces.
When I finished, there was a *much* better manual.

Their economy had problems, but they just printed more ... supposedly they survived because the Japanese held most of their debt, idk details. They probably benefit by having USA provide much of their defense, but that may change soon?

From the NYPost:
De facto White House communications chief Anita Dunn, 66, the wife of Biden personal attorney Bob Bauer, told colleagues she had decided to call in prominent Democrats to explain to Jean-Pierre, 49, that the time was ripe to move on, sources told The Post.
____________
There’s a huge diversity issue and they’re afraid of what folks are going to say,” added this source, who said they learned of the effort from multiple people briefed by Dunn and confirmed at least one person from outside the administration did speak with Jean-Pierre.
The revelation of Dunn’s plan is likely to make for awkward workplace dynamics, the first source said, but is unlikely to result in Jean-Pierre’s departure.

China and India are very diverse! Don't stereotype the populations of China or India as being homogenous. It's like saying Europe (Scots, Italians, Georgians, etc.) or Africa (Moroccans, Congolese, Ethiopians, etc.) aren't diverse. Japan on the other hand...
He's right. Immigrants are keeping our economy going. It's always been that way. Unfortunately, this country isn't exactly in a pro-immigration mood at the moment. I worry about the timing.
I'm sure the magats will try and use it against him. The old argument that immigrants are taking jobs away from Americans is pretty much bunk at least in NY. Businesses all over have help wanted signs and even have billboards practically begging for help. The only thing standing in the way is bigotry.

I never before felt the need to conceal carry. I do now. Very legal in my state (PA). It's against every fiber of my being to kill. But 'kill or be killed' changes the equation.

The hearing comes just a day after the Senate Budget Committee and the House Oversight Democrats issued a joint report and a trove of documents alleging that oil majors deceived the public about climate change. And, even though Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) stated the documents “exposed” the industry, there was little mention of their contents – because they, like the numerous other documents analyzed by the HOC, are a complete nothingburger.
Putting a finer point on it, Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) told E&E News that “the hearing might be the end of the line for the investigation for now.”

But he came up to me while I was working on my truck in the garage and asked to use my phone. He had no shirt or shoes on and was just wearing pajama pants and it was winter time. I was lucky to get away from him when he came at me. Got into the house locked the door and called the cops. He ran off as soon as I slammed the door in his face.

Unexpectedly, the Jobs Report Comes In "Far Below Expectations"
The latest jobs report released Friday revealed a slowdown in job growth and an increase in unemployment from the month of April, highlighting the continued failure of Bidenomics. The economy added a mere 175,000 jobs in April, falling short of economists' expectations, while the unemployment rate rose to 3.9 percent. Key Details: The underemployment rate reached its highest point since November 2021. The number of people working multiple jobs to make ends meet increased by 8.8% over the last year, a 27.8% increase since Biden took office in January 2021. Wage growth is not keeping pace with inflation, leaving middle-class families struggling. Diving Deeper: The jobs report for April paints a grim picture of the current state of the economy under the Biden administration. Despite predictions of a robust 243,000 job increase, the actual figure fell significantly short at 175,000--with eventual revisions expected to lower that number further. This disappointing figure is indicative of the broader economic issues plaguing the nation, with the underemployment rate reaching its highest point since November 2021.Recall that economic growth just slowed down "massively." As the country falls into recession and stagflation, Biden is pushing for a big new tax hike -- engineered to make white people poorer to "reduce racial income inequality." Will Kessler at the Daily Caller:
'Economic Suicide': Biden Admin Justifies Tax Hike Based On Racial Criteria The Biden administration's analysis of its revenue proposals for fiscal year 2025 argues targeted tax hikes that disproportionately affect white people would ease racial wealth inequality. Increasing taxes on capital gains and income-based wealth would reduce racial wealth inequality for black and Hispanic families, the Treasury Department outlined in the analysis published in mid-March. The Treasury points out that white families disproportionately hold assets subject to capital gains tax or are in a higher tax bracket, meaning a hike in those taxes would benefit black and Hispanic families. The Biden administration argues for taxing capital income for high-income earners at "ordinary rates," increasing the top rate from 37% to 39.6% for those who earn more than $1 million a year. Taxes on net investment income would also be hiked by 1.2 percentage points to 5% for those who make over $400,000 per year, bringing the total top marginal rate to 44.6%. "Taxing capital gains at 44.6% at the federal level -- not to mention state taxes -- would be economic suicide," Preston Brashers, research fellow for tax policy in the Heritage Foundation's Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

I hadn't even thought about EM fields in EVs.
Complex Electromagnetic Issues Associated with the Use of Electric Vehicles in Urban Transportation
The electromagnetic field (EMF) in electric vehicles (EVs) affects not only drivers, but also passengers (using EVs daily) and electronic devices inside. This article summarizes the measurement methods applicable in studies of complex EMF in EVs focused on the evaluation of characteristics of such exposure to EVs users and drivers, together with the results of investigations into the static magnetic field (SMF), the extremely low-frequency magnetic field (ELF) and radiofrequency (RF) EMF related to the use of the EVs in urban transportation.

When I was learning arithmetic, a teacher told me about dividing fractions, "if it doesn't make sense, turn it around and look at it again."
I found "four times one-half" puzzling but "one-half, four times" was immediately clear to me. The answer was simply, "two." Flipping it around and looking at it again helped me see how it worked.
That advice has been useful in much more than arithmetic. Flip it around, and look at it again. "Increasing taxes on capital gains and income-based wealth would reduce racial wealth inequality for black and Hispanic families" is the same as "Increasing taxes on capital gains and income-based wealth would increase the burden on non-black, non-Hispanic families" - that is, essentially, on white and Asian families.
Which, as a motivation, is illegal. Race-based law is illegal in this country, even if proxied. Too bad we're post-law.

Emergency declarations could enable the president to halt or limit crude exports for at least a year at a time, suspend offshore drilling, and throttle the movement of oil and gas on pipelines, ships and trains. Industry experts have warned that such a measure would discourage investment in domestic oil production and stoke higher retail prices.
Youth activists, led by the Sunrise Movement, Fridays For Future USA and the Campus Climate Network, are planning protests nationwide on and around Earth Day to demand Biden proclaim climate change a national emergency.
As the world stares down “another summer of floods, fires, hurricanes and extreme heat,” Biden must declare a climate emergency “and use every tool at his disposal to tackle the climate crisis and prepare our communities to weather the storm,” said Aru Shiney-Ajay, the Sunrise Movement’s executive director. “If Biden wants to win the youth vote, he needs to take forceful action on climate change.”

Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 175,000 in April, lower than the average monthly gain of 242,000 over the prior 12 months.
...
Health care added 56,000 jobs in April, in line with the average monthly gain of 63,000 over the prior 12 months.
...
Employment in social assistance increased by 31,000 in April, led by a gain in individual and family services (+23,000).
...
transportation and warehousing added 22,000 jobs, with gains in couriers and messengers (+8,000) and warehousing and storage (+8,000).
...
Employment was little changed over the month in other major industries, including mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction; manufacturing; wholesale trade; information; financial activities; professional and business services; leisure and hospitality; and other services.
More than half the gains were in medical and social services. That's not good, as both of those sectors are both already far too big and consuming an unsustainable amount of the economy - and are the only parts growing meaningfully.

How?"
Seems if whitey has to fire his gardener and/or maid, it is not a benefit to blacks and Hispanics. Same with whitey buying fewer luxury items that are manufactured by those "others".
A rising tide floats all boats, taxing the rich is maybe good for government workers that retire early on fat pensions, idk. But a lot of boats won't be floating.

When I was in college, I saw a little news hit one of the cable nets. It was about education spending. The woman was talking about some new subsidy scheme to "level the playing field" and end the "ZIP code lottery" in school districts.
She said that some school districts were funded up here (left hand raised up high above the desk) while some school districts were funded down here (hovers right hand just above the desk), and how the new scheme would do this (raised right hand to the middle, lowered left hand to the middle).

If only 175,000 jobs were "Created", how many "Newcomers" were allowed in?
It seems as is there was only ONE job created for every 3-4 "New Workers" brought into the country. Current workers are LOSING their jobs, "New" residents are getting them, just as current renters are LOSING their housing, while "New" residents are getting paid by tax funds to move into those places.(women and minorities effected most)
" The Treasury points out that white families disproportionately hold assets subject to capital gains tax or are in a higher tax bracket, meaning a hike in those taxes would benefit black and Hispanic families."
ONLY if those funds are given to Blacks and Hispanics...or THEIR taxes are cut...Taking a dollar from someone based upon Race doesn't put a race based Dollar in someone else's pocket. Unless the goal is simply to foster Glee that someone is being Hurt...rather than anyone being helped.
This will make the USA one of the highest taxed places on Earth...higher than even Communist China.
Under the "Trump Tax Cuts"...revenue coming in the the Govt set new high records...income disparity between Blacks and the rest of society hit new LOW records.

In theory it might allow them to buy more of *something* because of decreased demand from the random white guy, but it's not likely to be food, since they're not decreasing capital gains white guy's wealth to the point that he's going to starve.

The intent we are facing down is the looting and destruction of the middle class. Communists will deal with the rich in time but the rich aren't the primary target.
The rich can afford to move their money and good selves elsewhere. Everyone else is trapped.

Taxes on net investment income would also be hiked by 1.2 percentage points to 5% for those who make over $400,000 per year, bringing the total top marginal rate to 44.6%.

$400,000. I don't think it will stay there. They're just getting started.
Also, after 5 more years of this crap, $400,000 is going to be worth $200,000. If we're lucky. Note: we won't be lucky.

Or maybe they plan to crash the economy under Trump, the "Blame Trump" strategy. The globalists have lots of money/assets to toss around on their New World Order road to ruin (for us that will own nothing, be miserable).

THE MORNING RANT: Periodic Roundup of the EV Follies – May 3, 2024
The move follows a 10% layoff at Rivian in February when the company disappointed investors with a lower-than-expected 2024 production forecast.Well, somehow, it just got even worse. The most terrifying word to anyone involved with EVs is also the most terrifying word in a crowded theater… “FIRE!” It’s a word that is being said with alarming frequency at Rivian’s Illinois plant. “Fire breaks out in Rivian loading dock, the second in four days” [WGLT – 4/29/2024]
Another fire broke out Monday afternoon at the Rivian plant in Normal – at least the second fire in four days.Meanwhile, just four days earlier, there was another fire at the same Rivian plant, this one on the assembly line. “Fire Forces Evacuation of Rivian Plant” [ WGLT – 4/25/2024]
Monday’s fire destroyed a semitrailer in a loading dock on the south end of the plant, the Normal Fire Department said. A portion of the plant was evacuated until air quality returned to safe levels, fire officials said. No one was injured. An adjacent semitrailer sustained heat damage, and there was moderate heat and smoke damage to the exterior of the Rivian building above the dock area, the Normal Fire Department said. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
A fire at the Rivian plant in Normal forced the evacuation of the plant for an hour and a half Thursday morning. The fire happened under a section of conveyor that moves vehicle chassis down the assembly line on the western side of the building, said the Normal Fire Department. Flames did not spread beyond the area, but firefighters said it took some time to ventilate smoke and do air-quality tests in the building.
(h/t to Mrs. Throckmorton for bringing this story to my attention.)
The reason? One of TDOT's main sources of revenue comes from Tennessee's gas tax, but with more drivers choosing electric vehicles and using charging stations, TDOT is not seeing as much money from it anymore.The fee for Tennessee EV owners to register their vehicle increased to $200 per year in 2024, and it’s going up to $274 per year in 2026.
This is the way it’s done. While the purpose of the higher EV registration fee may be to recoup lost highway revenue that would otherwise be collected at the gas pump, a welcome side-effect is that it establishes a disincentive to purchasing an EV. I wrote about this subject in a recent piece titled, “Time to Put Team EV on Defense.”
Therefore, we must now put the E.V. advocates on the defensive, making them fear they might lose their precious vehicles as a consequence of their attempted I.C.E. ban. They came after us and we repelled their first assault, but simply repelling an adversary’s attack only sets the stage for their next assault. They must suffer a loss, and they must put all their energy into not suffering any more losses, to ensure that they don’t get the opportunity to come after our gasoline-powered cars again.
Ford’s electric vehicle unit reported that losses soared in the first quarter to $1.3 billion, or $132,000 for each of the 10,000 vehicles it sold in the first three months of the year, helping to drag down earnings for the company overall.Beyond the financial debacle, Ford’s overall EV sales have already peaked and are now plummeting.
The EV unit, which Ford calls Model e, sold 10,000 vehicles in the quarter, down 20% from the number it sold a year earlier. And its revenue plunged 84% to about $100 million, which Ford attributed mostly to price cuts for EVs across the industry.The early adopters already bought their EVs, and no one else really wants them. In addition, word is out about just how awful these electric toys are, with limited range and functionality, and a very short life span. Dealers hate EVs, and have too much respect for their good customers to put them in a product that will cause ill will. And with its growing glut of unsold EVs, Ford is having to radically discount new EV sales to make the excess inventory go away…which leaves the first suckers who paid full price desperately underwater on a lousy electric vehicle that they cannot trade out of. What a debacle.
Ford Motor Co. is dramatically cutting the hourly workforce at the factory that builds the Ford F-150 Lightning starting next week, as the automaker slashes product targets of its all-electric pickup. Of the 2,100 workers who make up three work crews at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, one third will remain on-site after April 1, Ford spokeswoman Jessica Enoch told the Detroit Free Press on Wednesday.Where are the employees going? They are going to a plant that makes the popular - and gas-powered - Broncos and Rangers. The transferred employees will be able to boost production of these hot selling products by providing manpower for a third shift.
A crew of 700 will be transferred to the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne to build the Bronco and Ranger while the remaining 700 or so will either take the $50,000 retirement package negotiated during the 2023 contract talks or accept reassignment in southeast Michigan. Ford is adding a third crew at Michigan Assembly.
Ford Motor said Thursday it had delayed the planned launches of three-row EVs in Canada and its next-generation electric pickup truck in Tennessee as the slowdown in EV demand globally forces automakers to revise production plans. Ford said separately it was boosting hybrid electric vehicle offerings and by 2030 expects to offer hybrid powertrains across its lineup of gas-powered vehicles. Separately, Ford said it will delay deliveries of an all-new EV truck it will build at a new plant in western Tennessee until 2026. Ford said last year it planned to begin production in late 2025 and build up to 500,000 electric trucks annually at the plant.As I have previously documented, Ford’s massive $12 billion investment in Tennessee and Kentucky included an EV manufacturing plant and an EV battery plant near Memphis, plus another battery plant in Kentucky. Ford has already indefinitely suspended the Kentucky battery plant in an announcement in October 2023, disclosing that it was canceling $12 billion in EV spending. Remember, Ford sold only 10,000 EVs in Q1 2024, which annualizes to just 40,000 in a full year…and its demand is decreasing. Ford already has excess EV manufacturing capacity, so there is no use for a new factory that can build 500,000 EVs per year. One of two things is going to happen: 1) Ford’s “Blue Oval City” plant in Tennessee is going to be mothballed or scuttled.
2) Ford is going to re-purpose this plant to manufacture conventional or hybrid vehicles. Ford owes its stockholders an answer about this sparkling new albatross in Tennessee. What is clearly not going to happen is the commencement of electric pickup truck production in 2026. Ford is insulting its shareholders by continuing to state that the impossible is going to happen.
The company sold roughly 3.3% fewer all-electric vehicles [globally] than a year ago. In Europe, the decline was 24.3%.
The same article referenced directly above also notes that Volkswagen’s year-over-year Q1 electric vehicle sales in the U.S. were down 16%. With VW’s electric vehicle efforts in this country already failing, what is to become of its new EV plant in Tennessee, which opened less than two years ago, and is adjacent to a plant that builds gas-powered VWs? It’s barely worth noting at this point that Tennessee Governor Bill Lee (R) threw $50 million of taxpayer grants at VW to build this EV plant. Of course he did. A ridiculous amount of Tennessee taxpayer money has been thrown at EV boondoggles. It’s embarrassing. And speaking of that VW plant in Tennessee. “Tennessee Volkswagen employees overwhelmingly vote to join United Auto Workers union” [AP – 4/20/2024]
Employees at a Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee, overwhelmingly voted to join the United Auto Workers union Friday in a historic first test of the UAW’s renewed effort to organize nonunion factories.I’m kind of agnostic about this. If VW were a well-run company, I’d be concerned about the potential harm that this could cause. But if VW were a well-run company, the employees probably wouldn’t be unionizing. VW as a company has embraced the left-wing agenda of western globalists, including climate communism and cultural communism. It’s doubtful the company can survive too long with that communist rot within. But it also seems a little unfair then, that in a passionately communist organization like VW, why hasn’t it fully embraced economic communism too? How is it fair that it is leaving the employees out of its communist mission? Isn’t any profit VW makes due to its exploitation of labor? I’m not really serious, of course, but if VW is on a suicide path in obedience to its globalist/communist overlords, the employees might as well get as much as they can before VW is gone.
My latest at The Pipeline “EVs Enter the Doom Loop” looks at the boom-to-bust cycle of companies riding the EV wave, focusing on one which just failed after all the media hype, political photo ops, government incentives, and a stock price run-up and crash. https://t.co/ZdwgRY64x3

"Battery manufacturers
The battery industry is closely related to the EV industry as batteries constitute around 1/3 of the cost of EVs[7] and around 80% of lithium-ion batteries in the world are used in EVs.[8] It is estimated to be worth around $30 billion 2021 and expected to grow to around $127 billion by 2027,[32] with demand expected to reach 3000 Gwh by 2030. Globally, manufacturing capacity is expected to increase to more than 5,500 GWh by 2030, including 3,000 GWh of capacity announced by Chinese manufacturers to date.[8]
"As of 2021, total demand of the market was 296.8 GWh, over double of the amount in 2020.[9] As of Q1 2021, LFP type battery market share reached 24.1%,[33] with Chinese manufacturers holding a near monopoly,[7] and is expected to rise further to surpass NCM type batteries in 2028.[8]"

What does the wider European market look like? EVs are down by a huge amount. Okay. What about the rest? Are cars down across the board? Are certain segments up? That kind of decline is staggering, and requires some contextualization. "We're over EVs" might be the actual answer, but that looks like something much bigger going on.

Here’s where this gets very interesting: According to Kachouroff, if the court of appeals or the Georgia Supreme Court were to rule in Floyd’s favor, it would mean Willis indicted the defendants without proper jurisdiction. Not only would that cause her entire case to crumble like a house of cards, but such a ruling would also remove her immunity. This would leave her and Fulton County vulnerable to a multimillion-dollar lawsuit for violating the civil rights of each of the defendants.

Just weeks ago, there were many stories about China's EV manufacturing in Mexico, and how it would wipe out domestics. Trump even mentioned it.
Now, it looks like that was a poor investment by China. I suspect they'll convert the plant to ICEs, and that may have been the plan all along. More likely is that PRC thugs aren't especially good at investment.

What does the wider European market look like? EVs are down by a huge amount. Okay. What about the rest? Are cars down across the board? Are certain segments up? That kind of decline is staggering, and requires some contextualization. "We're over EVs" might be the actual answer, but that looks like something much bigger going on.

In fear of another "occupation," I suppose, my employer has placed gates across the exit points to the street from our buildings. No word yet if it is supposed to be temporary, or will remain until the end of the work day or even beyond. To leave, it appears now, I would have to walk close to a mile up and around a large block, and in the rain, to get to my car -- which is only a few yards from my office.

It's all about proportion. As Buck pointed out, apparently gas cars in TN have a $32 registration fee, which is hilariously cheap.
So the EV registration cost of $274 is 8.5x greater, which is a lot. The stated reason is to offset losses in fuel taxes, which is how the roads are funded. Well, let's test the verity of that.
The Tennessee gas tax per the state's website is 27.4 cents per gallon. Also per the website, the federal gas tax is 18.4 cents, and the states receives about 90% of that through federal highway funding. That implies a total state revenue of 43.96 cents per gallon of gasoline sold. The registration cost difference between EVs and gas cars is $242, which implies that it is offsetting 550.5 gallons of gasoline sold, which is around 40 tanks of gas at 14 gallons each (a "fill-up" of a car with a 16-gallon tank), which implies a fill-up every 0.75 weeks.
That seems reasonable from the standpoint of policy averages, assuming a commute.

It’s a lease so no depreciation worries. And because EVs are selling poorly leasing them right now is crazy cheap. Which is why I got one in the first place. Didn’t need one just got it because it’s so damn cheap.
cost of ownership. There is none. Maintenance is included from the manufacturer for the duration of my lease and it’s under warranty. So no repair costs. Worst case scenario I may have to replace the tires.
And yes comparable range. Battery range is about 275 miles. A tank of 15 gallons which is my $60-70 amount at 20 mpg gets 300 miles. 20 mpg is what a comparable IC version of my EV would get.

Not sure how we accomplish this. The I.C.E. ban and EV push is coming from the WEF. And has been implemented by the Deep State through the EPA regulations (and fines and sales bans for not meeting targets).
President Trump put a hold on the impossible increasing targets from January 2017 to January 2021. And also put in place America-First policies for American jobs. But the stolen election eliminated all that. And the I.C.E. ban and EV push was back full speed ahead.
Without changing the EPA regulations, there will be no change in the EV push.

Out of curiosity, let me know how that shifts when your lease is up and you trade it in. The primary cost component in a lease is depreciation. The leasing company makes a bet at the start about what depreciation will (based on historical data, of course, but nonetheless a bet) and prices the lease accordingly, plus more for various other things. Expected depreciation is the starting point.
With resale in the trash, a lot of leasing companies (or the manufacturers) are probably going to be booking losses at the end of the transaction when the wholesale price for the returned assets is much, much smaller than expected when the leasing company sells it off. That will have consequences on lease pricing once the glut clears (which will probably take a year or to shake out). I suspect that the cheap leases right now are because that loss is better than sitting on the expensive inventory and getting nothing for it.

There is no choice to make for Farley and any other US automaker until the EPA regulations are changed. As they are currently, I.C.E. vehicles cannot meet the ridiculous fuel economy and CO2 emission targets. That was done deliberately.
The only way automakers can change course back to I.C.E. vehicles is if the EPA regulations are scrapped. That will never happen with the Deep State in charge of this country.
Remember that the goal of the WEF is not to convert 100% I.C.E. vehicle ownership to 100% EV ownership. The goal of the WEF is "you will own nothing and you will be happy". And 15-minute cities where automobile ownership is not necessary.

It is *not* as good as genuine leather. It is not itself a bad product, but it is not as good the real thing, especially in terms of long-term wear. But there are a lot of things - phone cases or shoes (not boots - you need full toughness for boots), for example - where it's a very good material. The upside to it is that is "quite nice" and can be made for less than half the cost of real leather.
What pisses me off about "vegan leather" is that it's often more expensive than genuine leather. The profit margins on the stuff must be ludicrous. It *should* be taking the market by storm by being a quite good product at a markedly lower price and dominating the mid tier - but it isn't, because that virtual signal carries a tremendous premium.
Feh.

Stellantis hires engineers in Brazil, India for $53,000 a year to save costs
https://bit.ly/3UrUes5
Stellantis is currently among the more aggressive and now aims to have roughly two-thirds of the company’s engineers in lower-cost countries over the longer term, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The push has in some instances caused problems during development, for example in the steering system of the “Smart Car” platform originally developed by India’s Tata Consulting Services, according to the people.
Dozens of French and Italian engineers had to be flown in to work on fixes, the people said.
A lack of engineering resources also is creating production launch problems at the company’s truck plant in Sterling Heights, Mich., according to Mike Spencer, president of UAW Local 1700.
More cuts are planned in the coming months. A source with knowledge of the situation recently told Automotive News that Stellantis is making cuts gradually in order to skirt a U.S. layoff disclosure law, known as the WARN Act.

Cummins has 4 manufacturing plants in Mexico: 1 in Juarez, Chihuahua, and 3 in San Luis Potosi.
What brands use Cummins?
The Cummins engine is most commonly found in Dodge Rams, mainly the Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 pickup trucks, as well as Ram 3500, Ram 4500, and Ram 5500 chassis cabs. It has also ... some Ford and Chevy trucks, ... big rigs and buses:
The Kenworth T660, T680, T800, T880, W900 and C500
The Peterbilt 389, 579, 587
The Freightliner Cascadia, Coronado, and 122SD
The International ProStar, 9900i, LoneStar, PayStar, and HX
Are Cummins engines made in China?
Yes, Cummins engines are also built in China, where the company has 5 factories:
Dongfeng Cummins
Chongqing Cummins
Xi’an Cummins
Beijing Foton Cummins
Guangxi Cummins
that shouldn’t necessarily worry you that Ram or any other US company is using Cummins engines built in China. Cummins needed those factories to support the Chinese market, which made up 40% of their engine sales in 2019.

Second is inflated residual values. They’re going to take a brutal beating in 2-3 years but for now it’s not a loss.
And third is low interest rate. My lease was 2.87%
Put all three together and a $60k car can be leased for $250/mo with nothing down. A $90k car for $400/mo. It’s Christmas if you want one. Practically giving them away .

I wouldn't be caught dead in an EV. But based on the taxes I pay, I've probably bought a few already and didn't even know it. Where are the subsidies for the cars I like? Why am I paying 100% of my lease?

And this is not a problem for the WEF and each western nation's Deep State. They are not interested in people of the world owning EVs. The goal is no one owning vehicles at all.
Step 1 is to ban ICE vehicles and only offer EVs. Step 2 is people reject buying EVs. Step 3 is eventually everyone's ICE vehicle they kept will break down and they will no longer have a way of travel.
Exactly what the WEF wants for every western nation.
The automaker CEOs are in on this. They are getting their golden parachutes and probably paid off by the WEF to make sure they drive the worldwide auto industry into the ground.

It would require a market change.
Pickup trucks have become family cars. They're loaded with features that a *truck* as such probably doesn't need, but that people want in their family haulers.
The market for simple standard-cab, long-bed pickup trucks with basic transmissions (auto or manual) and air conditioning but little else is pretty small. You can get one by going through fleet sales, but unless you're buying in quantity the price is still going to be pretty high.
I miss simple, cheap trucks and especially simple, cheap little trucks. The Chevy S-10 was damn near perfect in terms of what I, personally, actually want. The market and the government both eliminated them.

The gas tax is supposed to pay for road maintenance. OK, I know, only 40% of the gas taxes nationally go to road maintenance, and the rest goes to inner city bus subsidies and high speed rail that doesn't get built, but still.
EV weigh on average twice what ICE vehicles do. Guess how that impacts the roads that need maintenance. Heavy vehicles are normally designed with additional tires to distribute that load, and EV do not. They are damaging the roads and not paying a dime for it.

My wife drive a Chevy Bolt EV. It averages around 3.7 miles per KW. It actually charges mostly during the day, so it's done through our rough solar panels, which pay us $0.11 per KW of excess energy uploaded? So I figure it's about $.03/mile.
My former Prius (and now, Hyundai Ioniq) hybrid gets about 40mpg. At around $3 gallon, that's $0.075/mile, or 2.5 more? My wife's previous car, an older Honda minivan, got much worse.
So, the amount of savings on fueling vary tremendously based on ICE vehicle used to compare, and fuel costs. Long term...I have no idea, although the ICE will certainly close the gap with cheaper maintenance costs and no lifespan limited battery.

I don't think it is. Not really. I think the manufacturers know that the public has been conditioned to accept the "what can you afford monthly" approach and are taking full advantage of that, which is why $60K decently appointed trucks are the norm now.

Among the various reasons I would never consider buying a domestic nameplate, is the very fact their market IS being manipulated by the government, to make those cheap, simple trucks unavailable.
They're trying to force buyers away from those vehicles, and now Toyota is doing the same.

Not just trucks. There were very simple -- and cheap -- cars that were used for just basic transportation up until maybe 15-20 years ago. Think 1990s and early 2000s era Toyota Tercel-type cars. Cheap, no frills, roll-up windows, optional A/C, not an airbag within 50 feet.
But just as with trucks, the government piled on more and more safety and other requirements, which made these cheapies harder and harder to keep cheap. Plus, consumers turned away from these models to more luxurious models packed with options. RIP.

Hasn't the "decline in EV sales" tracked with the elimination of incentives and government subsidies to buy EVs?
The dirty little secret is there was never a market for EVs. The sales that were made were always because of incentives. Once those went away, so went the "market".

Seriously, burned a huge brush pile, and I mean huge. 75x75x15. From when they cleared the land three years ago to build the house. Lots of bois d'arc (osage orange). My father-in-law thought it would burn for a week. It was over and done in three days. You couldn't get within 75 feet of it it was so hot.

Some stuff is the same. Brakes are wear items regardless, though regen systems often mean brakes last longer on an EV. Tires are still a wear item, and you'll need to replace them at rate of about 3:2 as compared to normal car (2:1 if you have wrong tires or abuse them). Windshield wipers, etc. are like-for-like. In most energy markets, fueling them is a bit cheaper to significantly cheaper.
Then there is other maintenance. No oil changes. No transmission flushes. Coolant service is usually a much longer interval. No timing belts. Usually no water pumps, either, since EV water pumps are usually inline and purely mechanical. No fuel system. No exhaust or catalytic converter.
Over the first 100k-150k miles, the EV is going to have very low maintenance costs, and that will largely continue until the the battery rips your face off. It will more than consume the savings on routine service on an IC vehicle, and usually results in the car just being scrapped. If you lease or sell along every 5 years, that doesn't matter.

I don't think it is. Not really. I think the manufacturers know that the public has been conditioned to accept the "what can you afford monthly" approach and are taking full advantage of that, which is why $60K decently appointed trucks are the norm now.
$20-$25K stripper full size trucks would sell like hotcakes, but people would pay cash.

Add in the CAFE standards. Automakers have to sell a certain percentage of crappy EV or econoboxes, so they have to get the margin from a smaller number of loaded practical vehicles, which are all trucks now, after they killed the station wagon.

My brother used to make a brushpile in the field next to his house. Every year, he would host a party to watch the Michigan-Notre Dame game. Afterwards, we'd make a bonfire out of the brush pile and stand around chatting and (continue) drinking, until the fire was done. Good times.

My eyebrow went up until I got to the very end. My dad's S-10 was rear-drive only and geared super-low for towing (unless I was on a steep hill, I didn't even use first gear).

You have to figure in insurance costs, though. In many -- most -- areas, the insurance costs are 25% higher (or more) for EVs. And, of course, you have to figure in the much-higher upfront costs to buy/lease it.
So yea, if you pay 25% more for the EV, pay 25% more to insure it, and face a battery bomb at the end, then you'll be "rewarded" with lower maintenance costs.
I have no doubt the comparable ICE car will overall be cheaper to own/run/maintain.

Complex Electromagnetic Issues Associated with the Use of Electric Vehicles in Urban Transportation
The electromagnetic field (EMF) in electric vehicles (EVs) affects not only drivers, but also passengers (using EVs daily) and electronic devices inside. This article summarizes the measurement methods applicable in studies of complex EMF in EVs focused on the evaluation of characteristics of such exposure to EVs users and drivers, together with the results of investigations into the static magnetic field (SMF), the extremely low-frequency magnetic field (ELF) and radiofrequency (RF) EMF related to the use of the EVs in urban transportation.

One of my projects at my old job was to incorporate a small system that included an added component, added bracket for that component to secure to the powertrain and required hoses for that component functionality.
This system did not add anything to the functionality or performance of the vehicle. It was solely because it was a required system to meet some EPA "climate change" emission regulation.
So added cost, added weight to vehicle and added cost to customer for no added value or performance of the vehicle. Auto industry is not designing vehicles according to best engineering practices. We're designing according to the "climate change" religion of corrupt lawyers and politicians in Deep State and WEF.

How did they arrive at 14? Most stuff has some kind of round number like 5 or 10 or 15 or 20, or it's undefined and you just cram as many entries in as you need and keep writing on the back if you run out of room.
How'd they determine that 14 was the right number? I strongly suspect it is based on something real.

Joe Mannix brought up 401k matching and said the match guarantees no losses, as long as the loss is less than the match.
That doesn’t quite work percentage wise. Losing X% is more than making x%.
Say you contribute $1000. Employer matches 50%, or $500. You now have $1500. All it takes is a 34% drop to make your $1000 turn into less than $1000. A full 50% loss turns the $1500 into $750, ie a 25% loss on the initial $1000.

Quick search definition starts Titian coloured hair refers to a shade of red hair that is often described as brownish-orange in colour. The term originates from Titian, an Italian painter who frequently depicted women with red hair of this description.

And math still works the same.
$1000 contribution. $1000 match. $2000 total. Takes 50.1% to be in the red on the initial $1000 contribution.

In part due to labor having power at the moment. How about the mucky mucks at the top stop jamming $$$ into their pockets?
Yay! People are making more money and getting better benefits, this is always what is best for the economy.

All because they are forced to make EVs due to the WEF policies enacted in every western nation's Deep State. In the USA, it's the EPA regulations and standards, put in place by the Obama Administration in 2009. Trump Administration put a stop to the ridiculous increase in those regulations, but they were put back on track by the Biden Administration after the stolen election.
Trump Administration America First policies also penalized companies for outsourcing and incentivized companies for adding jobs in the USA. That was also ended after the stolen election.
Of course, they are getting what they pay for with these "engineers". The majority of them are awful.

This is interesting framing by Bloomberg, and subtle.
It's true as such. More dollars are entering employees' pockets, but proportionally more production is not entering the economy.
But the framing is where it's interesting. "Sustained productivity slowdown could limit inflation progress" See what they did there? They transferred the burden.
The productivity drop is *because* of the inflation. People need more money but inflation is outpacing growth. It's corrosive. The productivity drop - units produced per dollar (or hour, depending on basis) - would not have happened if not for the inflation. It's a consequence, not a cause of the current inflation (as opposed to, for example, oversized wage gains due to a new union contract).
But Bloomberg just shifted the cause off of government and onto employees.

Possibles include DeSantis (no), Youngkin (yes), Rubio (hell no), Burgum (eh), Robert O’Brien (who?), JD Vance (yes), Kim Reynolds (Iowa Gov), and Sarah Huckabee Sanders (maybe). All save Noem have the advantage of not having shot puppies and then blabbing about it to the world.

Rupert Grint feels both weird and down to earth. He was never going to be much of an actor (though he does have a career, he was in M. Night's most recent film), but it seems like he does it because he has no other skills, happy to be a supporting player forever.
He also bought an ice cream truck at one point near the end of Harry Potter. He took it to the wrap party and served ice cream.

The EPA regulations make it impossible for ICE vehicles to meet the standard targets for fuel economy and CO2 emissions. Thus, every automaker has eliminated gas vehicles from their future product line going forward. The ridiculous targets -- (which come with company-destroying fines and sales bans) -- start in 2025.
Knowing that, I bought a new gas vehicle last year. Will likely be the last I am allowed to buy going forward as new ones will no longer be available.

He's also made a nice documentary about his stunt guy who got crippled while making Harry Potter 4.

The Morning Report — 5/3/24
On March 1, 2018, Joe Biden got a $200,000 check. The story of where that check came from involves everything from “bloodstained currency” to smuggled gold bars to ‘The Exorcist’. But above all else it involves an enemy Muslim tyranny with ties to 9/11 and Hamas. When I first broke the story a week before Election Day, it was about how hospital patients in smaller poorer hospitals, including one that had inspired ‘The Exorcist’, had suffered because of the corrupt greed of the Biden family. But even then there was a strange element which led to one of the key figures in the case receiving “blood-stained currency from a Middle Eastern country” and a “torture ticket” after suing James Biden: Joe’s brother. Four years later, in the midst of the Hamas war, the identity of the “Middle Eastern country” behind the Biden business takes on new importance because it is a state sponsor of Hamas. And congressional investigators and investigative journalists have also traced a trail from Qatar, through James’ health care business to that $200,000 check he sent to Joe Biden. The health care business that brought together the Biden family and an Islamic terror state had targeted stricken rural hospitals in Kentucky, Missouri and Pennsylvania. . . . . . Qatar’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood (the parent organization of Hamas) and Iran had led to an embargo by its neighbors. And Qatar’s ties to terrorists, including to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11, who hid out there until he was allegedly tipped off by a member of the Islamic tyranny’s royal family that America was coming to get him, may have complicated the proposed investment funding mechanisms. The next stage of the plan involved James Biden becoming the “chief global banking emissary” for Billerfy which processed payments for a cryptocurrency exchange known as Quadriga that traded money for crypto. Later that year, Billerfy’s accounts were frozen and millions were found in a personal account. Six days later, Quadriga’s 30-year-old CEO suddenly died in India, locking up $70 million in cash and $191 million in crypto. Another co-founder, Michael Patry, whose real name turned out to be Omar was raided and authorities discovered gold bars in a vault. The whole operation was then exposed as a massive ponzi scheme. But by then James Biden had already benefited from $600,000 in “personal loans” from the health care company. On March 1, 2018, Americore wired $200,000 to James and he wrote a $200,000 check to Joe. But the loans, according to bankruptcy court documents were conditioned based on “representations that his last name, ‘Biden,’ could ‘open doors’ and that he could “obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections.” . . . Even while undermining the sitting [Trump] administration, Biden’s brother was offering the services of his family to an enemy nation. This has wider implications beyond Qatar’s role backing Hamas. Qatar was also the central intermediary in the Taliban “deal” and had formed an alliance with Iran. It is difficult to know whether the “Biden family” relationship with Qatar played any role in the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and in the sanctions relief offered to Iran. We do know there was a relationship between the Biden family and a state sponsor of Hamas, which Joe Biden profited from, and that has disturbing implications for our national security. “We’ve got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden,” James Biden once bragged. One of those investors had ties to Iran, Al Qaeda, Iran and Hamas.If the dimwits of "the Squad," in Dearbornistan and on college campuses nationwide only opened their eyes a little bit, they'd understand that Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, with or without the string-pulling of Obama, has done more to further their twin causes of destroying Israel and destroying America than they could have ever dreamed. And yet, they're sliming him as "genocide Joe" because they think he supports Israel? Biden may have dementia, but these assholes are just plain stupid to not see the taqqiya sunrise sundowning in the Oval Office actually making their dreams come true. That might be just the edge we need to at least squeak by in 2024. Of course, with the CIA, DOJ, the flag officer corps and JCS and the rest of the Deep State on their side, it's going to be a very long hot summer, perhaps extending well into autumn and, God forbid, beyond. Have a good weekend.

And let's not forget the sniveling coward clowns of comity, the Republicans, who could have taken a stand and stopped the steal in 2020, thus saving us from this disaster.
I still look at them with utter contempt and wish political death on their party. So many of them, like a great number of Democrats, need to be in jail for the crimes committed against the U.S. and that they've all profited from in cash and other perks.
I can't wait to vote for the REAL nation's president again in 2024 - Donald Trump - and against the (R) party the rest of the way down the list. Fuck that party for what they allowed to happen to this country, especially that bastard McConnell!

It's no surprise DC has decided to not raid the GW event (b/c they are waiting to disperse til Trump's trial is over - bet on it), so that no one in NoVa gets disturbed at their campuses (apparently, 7 campuses have come together for that protest - most of the DC ones, and then almost certainly GMU)...if you lose votes in NoVa, you put VA in play, and they don't want VA in play...

That same sentiment should probably be expanded and applied to everyone. That's quite dangerous.
This country now has *zero* continuity. Things that were supposed to provide intermediate or long term continuity - the balance of power among the branches, treaty requirements (and difficulties), etc. - no longer really apply. US foreign policy can and increasingly does, in its entirety, wildly shift depending on which person is in the Oval.
We're post-treaty now, so Congress - what was supposed to be a stabilizing influence on this phenomenon - no longer matters. Domestic law doesn't matter, either.

This *should* be redundant, because arrest records will pop during a background check. But will the background check outfits report it to employers? Dunno. Of course, anyone who *wasn't* arrested won't pop at all.
I've thought of something similar to this, but generalized. A "college risk score." Use AI to consume student newspapers, press releases, newspapers, etc. for every college and college town in the country, plus some of the bigger national newspapers. Look at college developments over time to determine how woke it is, and when it started going woke in earnest. Then determine a wokeness risk score over time for each college.
Employers could then feed a candidate's resume into the system and it can apply a risk rating. "Evergreen State College, attended after 2008: HIGH RISK"

I disagree. There is always corruption and there is always stealing by the elites at every level. That is a constant reality and no government or system is immune to it. But that is not "loot the empire" stuff, that's normal rake-off. That corruption may *become* "loot the empire," but it isn't that at all times.
The "loot the empire" stage happens when the elites no longer care about even the appearance of moderation, and just try to extract everything possible before the bitch collapses. It happens when the system is so corrupt and so dependent on corruption that reform becomes existentially impossible at scale. No reform can be managed, because even a minor interruption to the flow of theft will cause the power structure to crumble and take them down.
There's less money than before, not more - they're just stealing greater percentages.

Congress has spent a century passing enabling acts to cede its responsibilities to the executive.
It could change that and cancel agencies or defund them, but it won't. I suspect some of the reason for that is fear. What if Congress were to pass a bill zeroing or even disestablishing the EPA, only to find that the EPA just shrugged?

NASA lays out how SpaceX will refuel Starships in low-Earth orbit
"The slow boil-off of cryogenic propellant in the Starship refueler should raise pressures in the donor tank to help drive methane or liquid oxygen into the recipient vehicle. "
----
The pressure in a vessel containing liquid is the vapor pressure of that liquid, independent of how much liquid is present beyond that necessary to achieve equilibrium. As soon as enough liquid has accumulated in the receiving tank then the pressure will be the same as in the donor tank and flow stops.

She was actually very skilled and very smart, she just couldn't handle a high-pressure environment like ours. It took me about six months to get her on an even keel, and we worked to move her out to a lower-pressure department where her skills would still be useful (my company hated firing people, because they cost a damn fortune to train).

Blinken didn't have the time to make a good plan. So he made obvious mistakes like abandoning the military airport too soon and instead relied on the more vulnerable civilian airport.
And you know that Iran bought weapons left behind in Afghanistan that are now in Gaza and Lebanon, paid for with US dollars that we gave Iran.

Two cliches comes immediately to mind:

2. That which can't go on, won't
There will be replacements. It's already starting. There won't be "a" replacement - no unitary drop-in replacement for the USD - but there will be many replacements. Countries will work it bilaterally or regionally. The era of a single "reserve currency" is winding down and with its passing comes the end of this country's ability to play games like it has.

Blinken doesn't get all the blame. He's a piece of shit, but I think it's wrong to lay this at his feet. The greater responsibility is at the feet of the Pentagon and its permanent executives.
Trump gave them a deadline and told them to get the damn job done. They ignored him and ignored their orders. They didn't want to leave Afghanistan and so just didn't bother preparing to do something they were never going to do anyway. Besides, Trump would be gone and the war would continue.
The Party got rid of Trump, but threw the Pentagon a curveball by holding the line on Afghanistan. The Pentagon was immediately fucked. They pissed away the year they were supposed to be planning and staging, and had to cram the bugout into a few months. Not to mention the politics and all the cooks in the kitchen as everyone tried to get his own piece and exert his own influence.

Sooner or later you (and many others) may wake up to the knowledge that we are long past any Constitutional Republic and firmly in a post-Constitutional, single party police state.
Technically, since there are no organizational papers agreed upon (since the Republic was overthrown by the Deep State and kleptoligarchs) there is no "official" office nor branches. SCOTUS is just a bunch of paid hacks to verbalize opinions that can be ignored. Congress exists merely to steal money and enable cronies. The "Executive" is really a Potemkin façade giving the illusion that the Deep State/IC warlords aren't really in charge with their multiple fiefdoms.

It didn't have a monopoly, but it was the common one. Commodities are useful for that, and gold is a useful commodity in particular.
The USD was convertible and the reserve currency scheme *was* gold. Using it was "good as gold." Those were the rules laid down at Bretton Woods.
Then we went all Great Society and spent all the money and started printing - but those inflated dollars were still convertible at the treaty rates. We could get away with this as long as nobody converted their dollars en masse.
Well, the French saw what was happening and are not, despite appearances, stupid. France converted more and more and the system started to fail. All of our gold was going to Paris and there was nothing we could do to stop it other than the nuclear option of ending convertibility. So that's what we did.
The only reason we got away with that while retaining reserve and settlement status was that we still had unassailable industrial, technological and military power and so using our money for stuff was still much more useful than any alternative. That era has ended.

The U.S. economy added fewer jobs than expected in April while the unemployment rate rose, reversing a trend of robust job growth that had kept the Federal Reserve cautious as it looks for signals on when it can start cutting interest rates.
Nonfarm payrolls increased by 175,000 on the month, below the 240,000 estimate from the Dow Jones consensus, the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. The unemployment rate ticked higher to 3.9% against expectations it would hold steady at 3.8%.

The spokeswoman declined to explain why the CDC doesn’t consider autopsies or death certificates as evidence of causality, the criteria that would establish vaccine-caused deaths, or whether the numbers have been updated since 2023.
“They are taking the exact opposite approach to COVID deaths! Every death after a test was a COVID death. No death after a vaccine is a vaccine death!” Dr. Craig said. She questioned what it would take for the CDC to admit that the vaccines have caused some myocarditis-related deaths.

Oh, bullshit. Did you not see the video? Our peaceful occupation was mercilessly broken by fascist storm-troopers. We were cuffed and marched off to concentration camps to thunderous applause.
There was no way we could clean up the flotsam left behind because it was, get this, left behind. Do you think those jack-booted thugs were going to give us time to take down tents or clean up trash before shoving us into the maw of the prison-industrial complex? Of course not. Their phalanx marched in, beat us, took us captive and interred us. We're ever so sorry that we didn't have to time to do the move-out cleaning as the fascists were assaulting and kidnapping us.

The far right and far left bend and meet at antisemitism. Anti-Zionism is antisemitism.
Looks like this has Putin's fingerprints all over it. Alt-right anti-Semites have been infiltrating the pro-Palestinian protests the same way they infiltrated the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020. Same tactics: pretend to march for the same cause as the left wing protesters while at the same time attack only Jews (or black folks 4 years ago).

Furthermore, I don't know of any 401ks that allow people to short the market, only take long positions - basically a one-way ratchet. Money keeps pouring into retirement accounts and the universe of investments keeps shrinking funneling more money into fewer and fewer entities.

401k plans generally suck. Only reason to use them is if an employer matches contributions. Otherwise put retirement money in an IRA, SEP or other self managed retirement plans, where you can do whatever you want. Plus no management fees which 401k plans and mutual funds have.

Approximately 134 of the 282 people taken into custody at Columbia University and CCNY were not affiliated with either school -- more than 47%...
Investigators are looking at the role of outsiders who were on campus in the days before encampment participants shifted to Hamilton Hall, and whether those people gave the student protesters the idea to take over Hamilton Hall and the tactical knowledge to do it.
The NYPD directed attention to 68-year-old Sami Al-Arian, an accused terrorist deported to Turkey in 2015, who posted a picture of his wife in the tent encampment at Columbia...
Another activist, 63-year-old Lisa Fithian, is one of the people that police say has been escalating student protests. For decades she has been pictured in protests all over the country.

Obama planned ahead for future elections and one of his first term first actions was placing the entire student loan program under the federal umbrella.

if your company matches 50%, you won’t be even if your position falls 50%.It doesn’t math this way, as the kids would say.
Say you invest $1000 and you get $500 match. A 50% drop brings that down to $750. You’re still down 25% of what you contributed.

Right, but my company matches dollar-for-dollar up to 3.5%. So I contribute at 3.5%.
At a 50% match, I'd still do it because I can still take a serious drop before it starts being my money. With no match or a 25% match, I wouldn't.

On the Daily Beast article and Barron Trump:
"Coles told Matt Fuller, the former Washington bureau chief and top politics editor, to leave his job early after he pushed back against her idea to cover who is paying for the campus encampments and learn whether there was an Astroturf” element to the protests, according to the Intelligencer."
This confirms what we already know - the protests are funded and organized by a person, group, or groups with plenty of money. It is a valid angle and if there was push back, its because he knew who is behind it.

"The health care business that brought together the Biden family and an Islamic terror state had targeted stricken rural hospitals in Kentucky, Missouri and Pennsylvania... "
And if that's not horrifying enough: Politico, Feb 18, 2024 — (In part) "Jim Biden played a major role in a company called Americore, which the government has accused of massive Medicare fraud." The immediate family of the US President & MEDICARE FRAUD in a single sentence!! Not only that, Politico, 03/26/24: 'DOJ looked at transactions linked to Jim Biden as part of criminal investigation'
Cases in both PA and Florida described as engaging in "a brazen scheme."
Based on their positions & the fact that many former & current members of Congress have owned and/or are heavy investors in healthcare, they have a great deal of knowledge of how easy it is to bilk the Executive Branch's Medicare, Medicaid & CHIP programs, and also Obamacare in general, and the slim odds of being caught and convicted.

In part, "The federal government provides support for health programs and services both through spending on programs and services and through tax expenditures. Federal spending on domestic and global health programs and services accounted for 29% of net federal outlays in fiscal year (FY) 2023 (taking into account offsetting receipts), or $1.9 trillion out of $6.4 trillion (Figure 1). Specifically, Medicare accounted for 13% of the total, Medicaid and CHIP accounted for 10%, other domestic health spending accounted for 4%, hospital and medical care for veterans was 2%, and global health was 0.1%. By comparison, Social Security accounted for 21% of federal outlays in FY 2023, while defense accounted for 13%.
Mandatory spending comprises the majority (88% or $1.6 trillion) of federal spending on health programs and services. Mandatory spending is not subject to annual appropriations votes by Congress but instead mandated by existing laws." (More, not included here. Reading suggested.)

- Peloton is laying off another 400 people - about 15% of its surviving workforce. (The Verge)
This is the fifth layoff in three years, reducing the company's workforce by almost two thirds.
If you think such a disastrous performance should see the CEO resigning in disgrace, well, he did.
Tech News
- Every map of China is wrong. (Medium)
If you overlay satellite data on maps of China, nothing seems to line up properly.
This is because all recent map of China are wrong - deliberately so, with locations shifted by anything from 50 to 500 meters.
And nobody in China is permitted to correct the errors.
- There's another critical security vulnerability in GitLab. (Ars Technica)
GitLab is great.
Under no circumstances should you run your own instance connected directly to the internet.
- Nurses say hospital adoption of half-cooked AI is reckless. (TechDirt)
I'm sure they do, and I'm sure it is, but this article not only provides no evidence whatsoever for these claims, it doesn't even provide any coherent claims.
- Kobo's 2024 e-reader models are user-repairable. (Liliputing)
In the sense that a moderately experienced user with a $20 screwdriver set can open them up and replace the screen, battery, and motherboard, and the front and back parts of the case if the damage is physical rather than electronic.
Which is not everything, but is certainly something.

Psst, just between you and I, Evergreen State College is in Olympia, Washington which is on the other side of the state.
After The original Marxist race riot at Evergreen all the qualified students bailed out. Actually it was more like their parents yanked them out and what was left was all the blue hair communists who were confused if they're boys or girls. To keep enrollment up Evergreen tossed out all enrollment standards the next academic year. Within a couple years, if memory serves me correctly, 40% of the student population was identifying as transgender. In a perverse manner, Evergreen is a highly successful left-wing school.

It's why so many new cars - even stripper base models - are being sold with the mandatory "luxury!" of radar based cruise control. It has nothing to do with cruise control, and generally users find the distance-based style is a lot more trouble than its worth.
It's testing the radar in preparation for the law and lawsuits.
It's no coincidence that many, if not most, of those same cars already have really annoying radar-based panic braking, too. You can disable it for now, but you likely won't be allowed to after it's an official

The bright yellow flag was not that of Israel nor of the PLO, and certainly not the flag of the Hezbollah organization, which is similar in color. Instead, the flag flown by the pro-Israel counter-protester was the yellow "Moshiach" (messiah) flag of the Chabad Hassidic movement.
A video that has gone viral on the internet shows a CBS News reporter's reaction to the flag, which he had never seen before.
"The first I've seen of this, I've never seen this flag before, or this logo. I don't know if that's what this group is. We've been trying to get a clear view of what that says," the reporter pondered aloud to the viewers.
Many on social media were surprised that the reporter was unfamiliar with the flag, as members of the Chabad movement fly it across the world, including all over the US.

That's fantastic. And, same as airbags, intended to save people that refuse to buckle up.
Oh, wait:
"But that’s nothing compared with the shocking 6,272 pedestrian fatalities that happened the same year, 65 percent of which were caused by people being struck by the front of a moving car."
Of note, half of those are involved someone being drunk, and, comically, the majority (30%) is because the pedestrian was drunk.
So *YOU* need the added weight, inconvenience, maintenance, cost, etc. added to your car.
To potentially save 400 people out of 340M.

Even side-view mirrors now have cameras, sensors and indicators built into the easily damaged housings.
I suspect that is one reason why self-retracting- automatic folding mirrors have become more the norm. It's cheaper to make them fold out of the way when parked than it is to replace them if damaged.

That was true of the USSR. Back in the 70s or 80s there was a board wargame company, Peoples' Wargames. Just as Bolshie as the name implies. They proudly used Soviet maps and insisted they were better than western capitalist maps. Then it came out that the Sovs had been falsifying the maps for decades.

Four Weddings And An ONT
Hello everybody! Welcome to Thursday night. We'll...what's that? Somebody added a community note to the ONT?
Let Them Fight
Don’t save Democrats from their own campus disasterThe Democrats are already facing a critical election in which they must run a deeply unpopular dementia patient against a former president who maintains a strong base of support despite being hit with an endless barrage of fake criminal charges. The very last thing the left wanted was a civil war on college campuses that exposed the disastrous contradictions at the heart of its coalition.You can always count on the GOP to do the wrong thing. What say you? Leave them alone, or bust some heads.
The only thing that could possibly rescue the Democrats from this nightmare scenario would be footage of Republican governors sending in police to violently silence protesters. This would bail out the establishment and allow mainstream liberals to put the woke vanguard in its place while pointing at the GOP as the real enemy, a unifying symbol of authority to hate.
I know the gut instinct of the right is to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but the GOP must sit on its hands and let this play out.
Well, Well, What Have We Here?
How Ivermectin Trials Were Designed to Fail
Many people, including physicians, may not be aware that interventional studies, particularly RCTs, are prone to numerous biases, with selection bias being one of the most significant. Excluding potentially eligible individuals because of their anticipated group allocation can lead to selection bias.I'm not shocked. One treatment protocol was worth billions to drug companies, and the other worthless. Why would anyone be shocked?
It’s common knowledge that early treatment of COVID-19 is crucial for effective results. The earlier the treatment starts, the more effective it is. These approved antivirals for COVID-19 are used shortly after COVID-19 infection and usually within a few days after symptom onset.
For example, Paxlovid and molnupiravir registration trials treated patients within only five days of symptom onset. However, in the PRINCIPLE trial, ivermectin was used for patients within 14 days of symptom onset, while ACTIV-6 treated patients an average of six days after infection.

Middle schoolers who protested trans athlete’s participation are banned from future competitions
Five West Virginia middle schoolers who protested a transgender athlete’s participation in a track and field competition have been barred from future meets — prompting the state attorney general to ask the US Supreme Court to weigh in on transgender student-athlete bans for a second time. West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey filed a lawsuit against the Harrison County Board of Education on the dissenting students’ behalf after they were blocked from upcoming meets following their protests at the April 18 shot put competition, West Virginia Watch reported. Five girls from Lincoln Middle School stepped up to the circle for their turn before refusing to throw in the event, which was won by Becky Pepper-Jackson, a 13-year-old girl who takes puberty-blocking medication and estrogen hormone therapy. While West Virginia law bans transgender girls from playing on girls’ sports teams, a recent federal appeals court ruled that the law couldn’t lawfully be applied to the eighth-grader.So these girls refused to compete against the boy (And good for them, we need more of that), and now they've been banned from sports. There's a lot of resentment building out there, it's not going to be pretty when it breaks.

I would say let the colleges suffer their own consequences, sit back and get out some popcorn, but...
There are local elections too. I think those students that lost out on education and/or were harrassed should sue the schools for not keeping their "commitment" to a "safe" "learning" environment. Police should go in there only after being explicitly allowed to go in (with the WRITTEN permission broadcast on radio, TV and internet), IF the ROE are sufficiently protective of the police. That way, any backfire goes to the University.
Those involved in the rioting are in public rioting and have therefore waived their rights to anonymity.

I still can't believe this is a topic of discussion at all. Girls, at any level of competition, must #walkaway. It's so ironic that women were given Title IX by mostly men and now men are taking away Title IX from women -- with far too many women's approval! Thanks Dementia Joe!

I rescued the panel from demolition from a baking company headquarters right across the street from Madison Square Garden. My wife drove our van from Riverdale, Bronx, down the West Side Highway to pick it up. Too big to fit inside the van we tied it on the roof. It's been here in NC since 1988 and still looks beautiful. It's title is "What's in a Donut" and has cows, chicken, barn, chicken coop, a microscope, spices, wheat, farmers, spices, pictured with bright colors on raised plaster with lots of gold and silver leaf. I'm sure no one else has one. It is signed and dated 1941. That's my art deco story.

I know a kid who loved cheeseballs. Took home two nearly full containers of them after a sleepover. Took them up to him room where he gorged on them, eating many, many of them. Ate them to the point where he was about to vomit. Ran downstairs, hand over his mouth, vomiting all the while, leaving a wake of sprayed orange vomitous mass on the walls and floor along his path to the bathroom.
His mother was NOT happy.

Same thing with hydroxychloroquine. I remember four years ago, there was evidence that giving people a normal dose of hydroxychloroquine immediately after covid exposure/symptoms was a life-saver.
Then a study showed that giving people near-lethal doses of it when they were already in the hospital with covid just made them worse, which all the libs posted all over social media, and it was suddenly "common knowledge" that hydroxychloroquine is pure poison and anyone who disagreed was a science-hating Trumper who wants to kill people.

In grade school we had a retired OSS agent come in and give us a talk. He was bright, witty, friendly, stoic, and gave a great presentation. Opened it up for questions and never missed a beat.

Quad screen split. Carpenter on one upper screen, Leonid & Friends lead on the other upper.
Two lower screens. An oscilloscope track of each separate vocal. And those oscilloscope tracks are so close to IDENTICAL, as to BE IDENTICAL.

Jim - I know. I had it playing once and asked my wife to close her eyes and listen. She swore it was Karen.
What a babe. Maybe that's why Putin invaded Ukraine, to bring her back to Russia. Though she might already be Russian. The entire band appears to be a mix - of mainly poorly dressed people. Who make incredible music, touring the USA this summer.

Maybe sooner than you think - I saw the trailer a short while back for an animated revival of Good Times, with Seth MacFarlane at the helm.

Most of the band IS Russian. The founder, is Siberian, and the band was formed, in Siberia.
One of the (constantly alternating) Lead Singers, is from Ukraine. And he greatly resembles a certain Moron who one might meet in Corsicana, were one to attend the Texas Mo Meet.
The thing that Leonid & Friends are BEST at, though?
Making people smile.
THAT kind and quality of music WILL make people smile.
And if some grim faced feminazi (thanks, Rush!) can't find it in herself to SMILE along with Leonid & Friends?
Give her to Mike Hammer. I'll supply him more ammo in the caliber of his choosing.

Reminds me, in Catholic school, around 5th grade, in the mid '60s, one classmate's father, who had been a captive of the Japanese in WWII and survived Bataan, gave us a talk, 2 classrooms, maybe 40-45 kids. That one stuck with me, as he talked about the beatings that still plagued him (he walked very stiffly because of the damage they did to his back). Needless to say, he wasn't very kind in describing the Japanese. Not the whole truth, mind you, just enough to let his hatred still show through. After all, it had only been a couple of decades earlier the man went through that hell, not like 50 years earlier.
Back then, learning reality made you appreciate safe spaces, not making safe spaces reality.

Agreed.
Green had his moment in the 90s, and really shone as Oz on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Good as Dr. Evil's son as well. His work on Robot Chicken is consistently hilarious. Poor fellow just can't get around Hollywood's height obsession - yet somehow Tom Cruise and a number of others can.

Where I live we had what we called neighborhood cats - friendly to all, roved from house to house, obviously domesticated but not clear who they belonged to. Over time, the whole neighborhood got to taking turns putting out food for them. We'd usually get it cleared away come night time, but there were occasions when it was overlooked.
That attracted the attentions of possums, who could be chased away with no trouble, but one enterprising raccoon locked onto it with his scavenger radar. He was beyond intimidation. After being chased away a few nights, he decided that the chance of some illicit Friskies was just too tempting. I heard him rustling through the bowls, which were empty, of course, I threw the light on and charged out. He just paused and looked at me with an expression that I swear resembled a pissed-off George Costanza. His look and his posture gave off a "What, whaddya want? I'm tryin to eat here!" vibe. He wobbled off with a disgusted air and it took me quite a while to stop laughing.

Now I'm a gonna go out on a spindly limb here and say that's not even close. Katana all the way. Katanas are light, easily maneuverable swords great for quick slicing and dicing. Claymores, while having a better reach than katanas, are extremely heavy and require some effort, making their use a bit slower. That 'bit' for a samurai holding a katana is enough.
Katanas are for quick battles, not extended dueling/slashing and hacking like claymores.

Seeing it - South Park actually spliced in a brief segment of the procedure in question in the episode where Mr. Garrison decides to become Ms. Garrison. I have seen real-life clinical grisly, but that was horrific in ways one would never anticipate. A federal law requiring anyone wishing to have such a procedure to watch a complete operation would likely change some minds. Bonus bit from that episode - when Ms. Garrison worries that she might become pregnant, the doctor explains, "Mr. Garrison, we didn't make you a woman. We just made you look like one."

It's entirely possible Russia is fighting Ukraine bloodless for the sole purpose of being left alone.
It's also entirely possible there is some long game there I don't see at the moment.
I know the strategy of 'The West', which is to utterly destroy Russia. They're still hysterically enraged they didn't get to wreck the place permanently in the 1990s due to Putin stopping them. I don't believe Russia even wants the rest of Ukraine. I also think annexing Poland was the biggest mistake Russia ever made, and to try to repeat it either by force or diplomacy would be both stupid and crazy, neither of which Putin is.
I just find it hard to believe after all this Russia is going to be happy with a purely defensive outcome ending in stasis. It would take impressive self-control to resist absolutely crushing Zelensky.

Working in the oil patch in Alberta, I was used to getting explicit driving directions to the rig location. They were invariably exactly right. "From Edson, west on Hwy. 16 to Range Road 17-4, turn right, proceed 14.5 km north, take a left, then proceed 4.4 km west, turn right, and 2.2 km into location." Follow those directions explicitly, you will get there. If I knew the area well, I could take shortcuts. But heavy trucks would stick to those instructions, because they might not be permitted for alternate roads.

Funny one about directions. Local general store back in the day. People would stop there and ask directions to a golf course. There are two close by. This one was Fox Run (you can look that up, Fox Run in Simpsonville, SC).
Well, Billy, the owner at the time, got impatient with all that one time. I and the lunch crowd was there, and this guy comes in asks how to get to Fox Run. Without even looking up, Billy says, "Go back up the road, take aleftfttakearighttakealefttakearightboughthalfamile.
Left, right, left, right, then about 1/2 mile. That was correct.
Ol' Red Brown would give directions to Fox Run when he was hanging out there. He said take a right at the Woodman Hall, then a left, then a right. The Woodman hall hadn't been at that spot for decades.

When the store gets too chaotic and we have to reset and move stuff around, people are lost for MONTHS. Sometimes years. Some people never recover and give up even trying to find staple items they bought for years.

In Canada, the biggest part of the drilling season is on Winter, when the ground is frozen, and bush roads are easy to build, also drilling leases are hard ground. If there is a steep climb to reach the rig, they may have a Cat and operator on the lease to tow trucks up the hill. Usually the drilling supe will tell suppliers, "send a 4X4 tractor with that load of mud, and we will give you a Cat tow if the driver spins out." And if they send a 4X2 tractor, and it spins out, the drilling supe will bitch like Hell, and send the Cat out anyway, because they really, really need that load of mud.

The Woodman Hall was a meeting place for an organization known as Woodmen of America, and also Woodmen of the World. You can look that up.
It's a life insurance company now, or part of it is.
I remember tales of the Initiation Ceremonies for the Woodmen, which happened at the local Woodmen Hall. It was apparently stressful and a test of one's true character.

And that exact same things happens on the relatively "flat" West Texas Permian Basin drilling sites.
Although there are no mountains there, not even any prominent peaks, the "flat" landscape is riven by many a valley, crevasse, gulley or crease.
Give that west Texas red soil a spot of rain, and you've never seen such a snot-slicked greasy stretch of unpassable road, until you're there, and have to deal with.
You'll never be able to wash the red stains out of your clothes, no matter how hard you try. And your clothes ARE going to become stained.
Because you're going to slip and fall down when you try to affix the tow straps to pull you out of what doesn't even LOOK like a mudhole. But, is.

The area is nothing like it used to be. There is an infernal subdivision right there, on field we called The Triangle, upon which I plowed, combined, and sprayed with Daddy for many of year in my youth.
The old Woodmen, dilapidated at the time, nonetheless still stood. Them was the good ol' days.

My late father, Grady, back when I was but a wee lad, was the Master of Ceremonies at a Greenville Country Farm Bureau Annual Meeting back in the day. He regaled the audience with a funny story about his Mama churning butter.
At that time, the wife of a local eminence, after whom they named an intersection in Fountain Inn, SC. Well, a bridge intersection with I-385. He was state senator. Anyway, she was an old school teacher and stickler for grammar and diction and all that.
She stood up at that meeting and corrected my father. "No, Grady, one does not churn butter. One churns milk to make butter!".
She was a Karen of her day. Daddy said, "Noted, ma'am" or something like that. He was, shall we say, not amused at that.

All these peoples is dead and gone. They had their plusses and minuses. The surname there is a Big One in Fountain Inn and local circles. They made a pile of money and got into politickin'.
One of the relations of T. Lloyd was Old Man David. He started out dirt poor, nary a pot to piss in, and made it Big Time, millions upon millions, and acquired a Shit Ton of Land. Construction, of which the business is still a Going Concern.
As a teenager, I had the benefit of the Wisdom of Old Mand David. My father told me, when Mr. David speaks, you listen. I did.
I recall fondly, sitting in the den of Old Man David's Big House, listening to him talk. Long story, but Old Man David got interested in My Daddy and Me's Tire Saga. It was an oddball tire size for a certain combine, of which they didn't make much of. It had blown and was nearly worn out. But the manufactuturer wasn't going to make any more of those oddball tires for a while.
Anyway, Old Man David had some Tire Connections, and was helping Daddy get that taken care of.

And he was frugal. You ran something until it just plumb fell apart. You run that combine tire 'till it just blows apart, son! Old Man David, through his Tire Connections with local tire outfits, what he owned a piece of, made sure they fixed that ol' oddball tire as best they could until we could get a new one.
Daddy knew who to call when he was in a bind. Old Man David was one of those. Who would answer the call of his homies.

The head and fins of the seal are preserved under the grass in summer, and in winter a whole seal is frequently buried in the snow. The flesh, half frozen, half putrid, in which state the Greenlanders term it mikiak, is eaten with the keenest appetite.
Seals rarely associate with penguins, as the latter have a terrific stench sometimes described as "James Carville's farts after eating 4 pounds of mikiak".

BSA Co. 1943 "dispersal" build with matching serial numbers throughout the weapon -- wooden stock; bolt; nose-cap etc. "N 47715". Looking for the serial number for more info, I saw several from SMLE forums guys with higher 'N' numbers than mine.
Needs a cleaning but the only apparent damage is the middle, top wooden handguard is separated a bit from the bottom forestock.

Depends what you mean by 'everything.'
If you mean, is it already illegal to 'occupy' (trespass) a space, or commit A/Bs, or block public access, or burn shit, the answer is yes, we already have laws against that. The problem is that TPTB don't enforce those laws against leftists. More laws won't help.
OTOH, if you mean we need a law that prohibits legal protests and critical speech against a particular named religious or ethnic group, I think that is way wrong morally, and violates 1A.

USED to be a very common thing, up till about the late 1970. Lotta shot-out, .mil-surp WWII bolties were still being sold, dirt cheap in the gun stores, hardware stores and pawn shops, nationwide.
Now, most of those gun stores are gone, actual GUNSMITHS are tough to find, and there's no longer a supply of common and cheap surplus rifles waiting in oaken barrels to be adopted by the next guy wanting to "bubba" up a cheap deer rifle.
But do your (non google) searches on "barrel relining" or "re lining". And be willing to ship to anywhere. Might have to, to reach a shop that still does the work.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. district court Wednesday, seeks damages for nine American and Israeli victims of Hamas’s unprecedented terror assault. It targets two campus umbrella groups—American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) and National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP)—that are responsible for fomenting a tidal wave of anti-Semitic protests on college campuses across the country."

Concur...I lucked out a few years ago and SARCO had barrels still wrapped in brown paper from 1917.
I had a SMLE No 1 Mk III made in 1917 that I had shot out the barrel. Swallowed a round right up to the brass.
Fella in Pensacola, Florida did the re-barrel and went over the rifle with a fine tooth comb and the only other thing to replace was the safety spring and the missing stacking swivel.

Golden hour and blue hour have no real precise astronomical definition like twilight ranges do, but the Golden hour is oft taken to be the time when the Sun is 10 degrees or less above the horizon. Sometimes 6 degrees is used.
Blue hour is oft taken as the time the sun is between 8 and 2 degrees below the horizon. This overlaps with the various twilights.

Golden hour and blue hour have no real precise astronomical definition like twilight ranges do, but the Golden hour is oft taken to be the time when the Sun is 10 degrees or less above the horizon. Sometimes 6 degrees is used.
Blue hour is oft taken as the time the sun is between 8 and 2 degrees below the horizon. This overlaps with the various twilights.

So, golden and Blue hour have no specific definition right before you give them a specific definition?

Blue Planet, Somehow, tracked a pack of orca's as they hunted the young of a humpback after birthing season, and then they only ate the jaws of the young humpback and the exhausted adult.

But the Orcas had a whale of a good time.
On topic. THE best Killer Whale promotion, was the years when Southwest Airlines had a pair of 737s painted in the Shamu the Killer Whale colors.
No one ever topped those as a publicity statement.
Especially once they reached FL35 as a cruising altitude.

My wife is Aboriginal. In '98 we went an an Australia tour lasting about 5 weeks. We were walking through NT (Northern Territory) and there were tribal groups gathered under the gums, and they looked HATRED at us.
Outright fucking hatred, I turned to my girlfriend at the time, my current wife, "Am I gonna have to kill an entire tribe of your people?" She said, "Fuck them, anger is all they know." Again, my wife is aboriginal, so she's talking about "her" people.
Being from NWI and the chicago area I have been accused of racism so many times it didn't matter, but NEVER IN MY LIFE, did I think it would lead to a direct and GROUP attack on myself.
The big thing? The Abboriginals weren't looking at me with hate, they weren't looking at the white fella, they were looking at my wife, the black girl with a white fella, she was a traitor, they wanted to get at her and punish her. I could read their hatred it was so

Quick Hits
French President Emmanuel Macron has reaffirmed his position that the possibility of sending ground troops into Ukraine cannot be ruled out. "I'm not ruling anything out, because we are facing someone who is not ruling anything out," Macron said in an interview with The Economist published Thursday. He added that if Russia was to "break through the front lines" in Ukraine and Kyiv requested troops, "we would legitimately have to ask ourselves this question." Macron's comments double down on remarks he made in February in which he said the deployment of Western troops in Ukraine could not be "ruled out," which prompted a direct warning from Moscow's Defense Ministry.

This is now officially old news, but Noted She-John Snizzbiscuit Fani Willis did not show up for her debate in the Democrat primary to retain her job.
Democratic Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' political opponent debated with an empty podium after Willis skipped the county's first Democratic Party debate, local reports show.A 26-year-old teacher sexually abused a 15-year-old boy she met at, get this, Bill Clinton's old church. She seduced him by "bombarding" him with nude pictures. She didn't have sex with him, because she didn't want to steal his "purity," so she just gave him blowies until he was dehydrated.
...
The Fulton County Democratic Party held its first primary debate on Sunday, but Willis was a no-show, leaving her political opponent to take the stage alone, where he criticized his fellow Democrat for hiring a romantic partner for the high-level case. "That issue is important to us in Fulton County and a lot of people across the country," Smith said on the stage, Fox 5 reported. "When you pay one attorney nearly $1 million to handle one case, that leaves the rest of us vulnerable. That hurts everyone in Fulton County," he said.

"The U Chicago Popular University For Gaza demands that you, Chicago, divest from the Gaza genocide," the protester told the university. "We demand that you, Chicago, divest from weapons manufacturers arming Israel and its partnerships with militarized Israeli universities, and cut ties with the Israel Institute. We also demand that you, Chicago, divest from all interrelated forces of death and violence into which it is currently complicit, especially fossil fuel production, UCPD and construction projects that fuel South Side displacement." ... (skipping a bit) "The U Chicago Popular University for Gaza demands repair of the harm caused by the university. We demand that you, Chicago, repair the harm it has caused in Palestine, Chicago and beyond," she continued. "This includes explicitly acknowledging such harm as well as implementing a communally accountable program of reparation. More specifically, it includes 1. recognizing Israel's genocide and scholasticide in Palestine and supporting Birzeit University's initiative to rebuild Gazan higher education. 2. signing the UN Principles for Responsible Investment. 3. disbanding UCPD and redirecting funds to South Side community-based products. 4. allocating funds to annual rental assistance and local schools, expanding employer-assisted housing, funding grants for long-term affordable housing, and halting expansion on the South Side. 5. Decarbonizing the endowment and reducing emissions by 50% by 2030, in line with the university's existing sustainability plan for campus emissions."I have nominated Clarence Worley to be our side's negotiator.
This is education today: uncultured lunatics "teaching" slow adult-aged children to be even stupider than they were in middle school.
Unsurprising. I often chatted with the BLM protest groups here in Portland. I never met a single one who knew the actual data.

If this is not the funniest thing you'll see all day.. Portland soy boy rioters vs Police 🚨 at Portland State University

Muscle Mass: F. See me after class. Cops finally shut down the increasingly violent UCLA "protests." The Mostly Peaceful Protesters attacked cops, most peacefully, of course.
The pro-Hamas demonstrations at UCLA have been violent, much more so than on other campuses. At times it can most accurately be described as riots that have broken out. It's inexcusable that the police were not brought in after the riot on Tuesday, which injured more than 20 people. UCLA has been slow to respond to the escalating violence. On Tuesday the university declared the encampment unlawful. The protesters chanted "KKK" at police who monitored the activity on campus. The Hamas supporters yelled that they were not afraid of the police. They planned to fight back. There were reports on Wednesday that Jewish students began fighting back. Maybe that is what led up to the police moving in on the encampment. The university had to finally act. Outside agitators have been blamed for some of the violence. Protesters liked arms and made a line to keep the police away from the tents in the encampment. Faculty members and university staff joined the students in their demonstration. An overwhelming show of force by police arrived to deal with the situation. As we have seen with other demonstrations, it's the only way to get the job done. The demonstrators have no respect for law enforcement. As I watch what is unfolding, LAPD is arresting protesters one by one. They are being handcuffed with zip ties and led away. It's mostly peaceful and calm. Many protesters are wearing hard hats and protective goggles. They sprayed police with fire extinguishers. Police essentially corralled the protestors, many into the library, to keep order and make arrests easier.At UCLA, protesters -- a lot of woke women here -- cry and even hyperventilate as they're arrested. They especially don't like the police taking off their dirty masks for the cameras.

Its about power. Too many women have become infantilized just like a lot of males have. And too many guys are still stuck on Hot for Teacher and denying ill effects on the yutes that were molested.
Some NIC was claiming the poor schmuck molested by LeTournneau ended up fine. Found out from news stories taht the poor schmuck has been treated for depression and substance abuse.

Try Vincent Guaraldi. If you liked his Charlie Brown soundtracks. Another is Take Five by Dave Brubeck and co.
Dixieland Trad jazz is also much to other people's liking--Preservation Hall, Louis Armstrong and band, etc. are excellent examples of Nawlins trad jazz.
Coltrane or Parker, I can take or leave depending on the mood. At a certain point, jazz can descend into self wankery and solipsism. Good jazz is a dialogue among musicians and with the crowd watching.

"Pivotal", huh? I guess offering courses in getting / giving beejers in an unbalanced power relationship is a flagship offering in that institution's educational curriculum.

Posted by: BurtTC at May 02, 2024 06:35 PM (dGCAG)
One thing this war has shown is that mass movement gets difficult when satellites can see everything real time and missiles and arty is very accurate. And drones can drop a grenade in your foxhole. Men have to be dispersed and have safe places to duck into to survive.
A breakthrough column of trucks/APCs gets hit hard once it is spotted. The Russians are using small groups moving dispersed. When they find an enemy group, it is shelled, droned, or fuel air bombed until it quits shooting back.
So to me I think that the problems of "big arrow" offensives these days don't have a good answer. But, also, as you say Russia doesn't want a quick win, it wants to punish the Ukranian army.
Right now, they do seem to be quickly grabbing fields a few at a time in a day, then storming the next village over a few more. Ukr seems to be able to do little to change this, and Russia is enlarging the areas of the line they do this.

Too many people make light of it in society like lame hot for teacher crap--just like the percentage of males getting raped and sexually assaulted never go to counseling nor do they report it as a crime. One of the stupidest things that a lot of folks laugh about is sexual assault of people in prison. Most of them end up coming out on the street and their experience in prison does not make them a better person.
I had to deal in resolving issues for others at a university involving sexual misconduct from power relationship differentials and it was bad enough. It will be worse for kids just like the ones that claimed the kid that LeTourneau made a daddy at a young age was just fine.
Pair bonding is a thing and sexual molestation at early ages screws it up due to imprinting. Society treating it as nothing is worse.

Russia wins just by being a threat, that's called a "persisting" strategy.
Hannibal did the same thing in the Punic wars with Rome. He invaded their Empire but he couldn't attack and sack Rome because he lacked heavy siege equipment and specialized troops. But he could and did defeat any army that Rome sent into the field against him. It worked for some years and Rome lost tens of thousands of soldiers trying to defeat him.
Russia is pretty much in the same position, they win just by being on enemy soil.

Don't conflate the two, these are very different things.
You don't have to believe me, but this is an area of expertise for me. It's very very VERY difficult for a good looking adult woman to "sexually assault" a mid to late teen boy.
Sorry, that's just biology. And psychology bears it out. These events do NOT cause lasting problems for these teenage boys.
Change the dynamics a little, and maybe it does. Make the boy pre-teen, and it's very different. Make the perp male, and it's VERY different.
But the vast majority of teenage boys are not mentally anguished because a good looking female was willing to have sex with them.

Part of the problem is we've been fighting CI for so long we've forgotten how to execute a real war on the battlefield. Fortunately so have the Russians. Their hold on territory is temporary and it's frankly only been longer because the arty wasn't in place. Now those longer range systems are coming online and more is on the way. That will probably move the Russians back again, especially when they stretch their lines again in their spring offensive. That's why you see the Russians lobbing missiles behind the lines and into the cities. They're also stocking up on drones. This will continue to be a slugfest for some time.

It's possible, from the Russian perspective, to view this whole thing as basically over. They really don't have any other objectives. As far as Ukraine is concerned. They've taken all the territory they want, and more. They have effectively fought Nato to a stalemate, and that's the real issue here.
What can Nato do? France is now signaling they're not going in, which is a retreat for them (what else is new). Macron was bigfooting it a couple weeks ago, and now he's basically saying "Nah, we're not going in."

It gets complicated pretty fast regarding age of first sexual experience but yes research now shows it does affect them in future relationships but it requires a lot more than a brief visit with them in an office to determine future effects.
The usual are depression, inability to bond with others over time, trust issues, infidelity, substance abuse, and self worth.
The younger they are when they have sex and the older the female and the greater the disparity in power relationships, the worse the harm that can happen from it.
Quite a bit of academic literature out there about it and I know of at least one person's whose life was totally fcked up because of a predatory elder female.

Nope. The Russians have a fortified line across the entire front contact area behind the contact line, built last winter. Ukrainian arty capability is near 0 at this time and the reloads are virtually impossible to get.
Ukraine's one successful offensive was due to overstretch, but that was when Russia had fewer than 200,000 online vs some 400k Ukranians. Now they are superior on the front, and have hundreds of thousands of uncommitted troops ready to come in.

I think he drone aspect of the war is amazingly effective. They send explosive laden drones to target people in public places, in their homes, in their encampments, they drone ships, refineries, and storage depots. And they use drones to drop grenades and other munitions on fox holes, convoys, lone autos on the road. It's just a precursor to what's coming to an insurrection near us...

The coup in 2014 was celebrated in Odessa by burning 25 Russians in a building. A lot of the Dnepr basin will have to come with it, because the shelling of the nuclear plant and the dams will need protection.

The usual are depression, inability to bond with others over time, trust issues, infidelity, substance abuse, and self worth.
The younger they are when they have sex and the older the female and the greater the disparity in power relationships, the worse the harm that can happen from it.

The devil's in the details. It's easy to say "affects future relationships," but then that's damn close to everybody these days.
Believe it or not, one doesn't need research to show that early pre-marital sex is not good for future relationships. Religions were talking about this stuff thousands of years ago.

They have only been able to hold that line due to a lack of supply. But a lot of the 155 and ATACMS are now coming back into the units. The latter will especially give them an advantage due to the stand-off distance. Along with some of the more sophisticated SAM that are moving in, it will be interesting to see what happens when Putin makes his predicable offensive move. It's going to test his ability to take casualties, because that movement will cost a lot. I have no dog in this fight btw, I think it's basically a stalemate that will continue to cost both sides greatly and test their appetite for attrition.

Pretty much first sexual experiences are pretty powerful for a lot of people just like the first hit of a drug is for others and often that first hit is enough to mess some folks up. Others, it might take several events in sequence. Some may show not much reaction externally at all and some of that depends on culture, power relationships, consent, and so on.
Far too many get screwed up in life from trying to repeat that first 'hit' of drugs, alcohol, sex, violence,or gambling. Others are imprinted by other events but tell me honest data about someone's childhood, and I can give you better than track odds what might happen.
One of the more hideous tasks that I had to once undertake for research was Pre Sentencing Investigatory reports for criminals and later case reviews of those facing the death penalty.
You kinda figure out how a lot of folks ended up the way they were but a few had every advantage etc. in life and took a bad turn and often that turn was fairly inexplicable by preceding events.

Try Vincent Guaraldi. If you liked his Charlie Brown soundtracks. Another is Take Five by Dave Brubeck and co.
Dixieland Trad jazz is also much to other people's liking--Preservation Hall, Louis Armstrong and band, etc. are excellent examples of Nawlins trad jazz.
Coltrane or Parker, I can take or leave depending on the mood. At a certain point, jazz can descend into self wankery and solipsism. Good jazz is a dialogue among musicians and with the crowd watching.

It is attrition, yes, but supply is no problem for Russia. They have built a railroad across the land bridge line to Crimea, and their factories are humming. I have heard nothing about any significant shell deliveries arriving, just EU countries not being able to buy any on the world market. Also with the air defense broken down, increased range won't matter so much when aircraft can operate forward with no danger and take out gun platforms. Russian counterbattery is an emphasis.

Drones have really changed the battlefield and caused a lot of tactical re thinking. Russia has an agreement with Iran to massively produce their drones. They are cheap and stunningly effective, and the counter tactics have not caught up yet. You can't even move an infantry column without being spotted and attacked. Conversely Russia has also not developed good counter drone tactics either and therefore their use continues to bleed both sides. Ukraine actually moved the Black Sea Fleet out because they were sinking anything close. I honestly don't see how either side holds territory for too long.

Yesterday, Ukraine killed 1,030 soldiers, destroyed 20 tanks, 29 APVs, 20 artillery systems, 4 air defense systems, and 49 trucks. All this shit is coming from storage, and the storage is almost bare. For example, they can build maybe 500 tanks a year. That is 42 per month - about as much as they lose every two days.
They started the war with 20,000 tanks -4,000 active and 16,000 in storage. They have, maybe, 2,000 left. Ukraine thinks it might be less - more like 800 functional. Couple of months, tops, they are out of tanks. Same is true for everything else they are using.
This summer Russia will start running out...of everything. Fuel, trucks, trains, ships, planes, soldiers, tanks...everything. IMHO. Assuming Ukraine can hang on, maybe another six months, they win.

An early thing Russia had to change was their formations were too infantry poor originally because grunts aren't sexy in peace time. This took a while to fix. Russia bought the plans for Iran's drones and is manufacturing their own. Ukraine's man problem is too many of them have died holding villages to the last man or counterattacking so that increasingly Russia is able to move forward with small groups and take land and towns with increasing ease.

A lot of that age of marriage was distorted in genealogy circles because of certain ways that early data was recorded. You find women in the census getting younger and younger over the years in each census for example despite being the same person. Another common error was induced because genealogists often had to guesstimate to the nearest decade or so.
What I found in some cases going back about 500 to 1000 years on some trees is that during unsettled times, you had younger ages of marriage and childbearing but other times it lengthened. Depended on social and economic class as well. Going way back, you start getting into betrothed marriages and the like that often waited until puberty (which struck later than today in many cases) to be consummated.
Teens certainly but even then marriage at 15 was unusual for males unless property/aristocracy arranged marriages were involved. Females, it gets complicated with the consummation issue and we know more about the elites than we do about the peasants.

Think they are already using drones to drop one hand grenade over in Ukraine and in the Middle East. Drones are one of those game changing events that are close to how fast airplane tech advanced in the First World War. Ukraine has become a proving ground for a lot of tech and observation of its use in warfare including EW, hacking, and drones.

Supposedly France has a brigade to send. A brigade can hold a front of about 2 km in WWII. The fronts in Ukraine are hundreds of km long, and there is about as much front that is not covered by many troops.

The White House Now Sends a Phalanx of Aids to Surround Biden When He Walks, To Screen Biden's Shuffling, Stumbling Gait from the American Voters
The truth (that Biden is feeble and dying) is always accompanied by a bodyguard of lies (his White House protectors and puppeteers).
Via Twitchy, this report from Axios, aka Politico for Kidz:President Biden has introduced a change to his White House departure and return routine: Instead of walking across the South Lawn to and from Marine One by himself, he's now often surrounded by aides. Why it matters: With aides usually walking between Biden and the press' camera position outside the White House, the visual effect is to draw less attention to the 81-year-old's halting and stiff gait, Axios' Hans Nichols and Alex Thompson report. Some Biden advisers have told Axios they're concerned that videos of Biden walking and shuffling alone -- especially across the grass -- have highlighted his age. Weeks ago, the president told aides that he'd prefer a less formal approach, a White House official told Axios. He suggested that they walk with him. White House staffers and reporters alike noticed the sudden change in Biden's walk routine beginning in mid-April, after more than three years in which he'd typically walked solo.I completely missed this. The NY Post has been all over it:
HAPPENING NOW: President Biden returns back to the White House.
— MONICA PAIGE✰OANN (@MonicaPaigeTV) April 26, 2024
Aides and staffers seemingly wait for him to get off Marine One before heading inside.
This appears to be the new strategy the admin is taking in order for Biden to avoid questions and distract from age concerns. pic.twitter.com/gPqs1psTsj
HAPPENING NOW: President Biden leaves for a campaign event in Wilmington, Delaware.
— MONICA PAIGE✰OANN (@MonicaPaigeTV) April 30, 2024
He appears to use his aides and staffers as a shield to prevent him from answering any questions from the press.

Axios set the narrative, and the NYP is lapping it up and acting as a megaphone.
I think that is a mistake. I think that this new policy of ringing him with an intervention staff isn't about his gait. Covering up his "halting and still gait" is probably not the point of this. That horse fled the barn ages ago. Yes, it's an election year and more people are paying attention, but he's a shambling old man and has been since his first pseudo-campaign kicked off in 2019. Gait-wise, he's not appreciably worse than he was then. I think this is a misdirection, and it's likely intentional.
I suspect that the *real* reason for this is that he can no longer be counted on to not wander off in the wrong direction. They aren't covering up his gait, their steering him and keeping him on course. They can't have him wandering the wrong direction on an airfield, or getting lost in the bushes around the White House.
That's my bet.

In the case of the President, he walks alone to signal that NOBODY is his peer. Other heads of state get to walk with him when together, because they're both heads of state, but otherwise, protocol demands that he walk alone.
This is a huge and significant breach of protocol.

Montec, you got the insults for Trump and the ones for the Secretary of Transportation/Obama mixed up.
You are supposed to mock his (Trump's) self importance, his way of speaking and ask if he uses Cheetos as rub on sun tan. Perhaps his attraction for his daughter.

As I recall, the chorus originally went:
Climategate
I think you have sealed your fate
I hope you do a lot of time
Cuz what you did was such a crime
But it got changed because apparently someone thought that was a little too close to actionable. Still a good little ditty though.

Japanese politicians didn't take this insult lying down. Responding to Biden's accusations of xenophobia, Mizuho Umemura, a member of the conservative Nippon Ishin no Kai Party, who holds a seat in the House of Councilors, pointed out that migration is a huge problem in Europe and that few countries have actually solved that issue.
Umemura noted that Biden should "solve the problem in New York before he says things like this," and that the next presidential election could see a complete reversal of America's immigration policy, so there is "no need for Japan to follow suit."

So the "excuse" is that our readiness is terrible because if something blows up the crew will be all busy getting the guns ready to fire for 5 minutes while the other side gets free shots?
Reminds me of a story from Viktor Suvarov's book on the Soviet Army. Army greatcoats had been closed using hook and eye fasteners so you could move freely on your belly with them. Men could get ready during an alert almost instantly and be off. But then the Army added epaulettes and buttons to look good. But the buttons and stuff had to be cut off before an alert and reapplied afterward with lights on. Then after the alert the process had to be reversed. To fix this the USSR just defined that alerts would always be a half hour notice.

"Trump Is Going to Win:" Swing Staters Prefer Trump
A poll from Kaplan Strategies puts Trump up over Biden by 15 points in Michigan.
Six months ahead of the November election, former President Donald Trump is leading Democrat incumbent Joe Biden by a whopping 15 points in Michigan, a key swing state. According to a Kaplan Strategies survey, the former president polled 51 percent to 36 percent in the battleground state. The margin of error for the survey was plus/minus 3.5 percentage points.Is this a sign of something? Nah. It's an outlier. No other poll shows such a blow-out race. Every other poll has it close in Michigan.
Other polls have also shown varying results for Michigan. An Emerson College/The Hill poll released earlier this week indicated Biden trailing Trump marginally in Michigan (44 percent to 45 percent), while a Bloomberg News and Morning Consult poll suggested Biden ahead of Trump (47 percent to 45 percent).Of course, to be close in Michigan is a coup for a Republican... Also, it's worth pointing out that outlier polls exist. When Marist or MSNBC trumpets a poll showing Biden with a narrow lead in national polling, remember, this Kaplan poll has Trump up by 15 points. There is no #BelieveAllPolls movement. Some are just wrong. The recent polling news for Trump is mostly good. The new Bloomberg poll has Trump ahead, everywhere. What do you mean, "everywhere"? EV-ER-Y-WHER-UH!
That's not the only poll showing Trump ahead -- the Emerson poll has him winning in all seven swing states, too. And I repeat: Trump always gets more votes than his polls suggest. There are a lot of shy -- or browbeaten -- Trump voters who won't tell pollsters they're voting for the Bad Orange Man.

The latest Emerson College/The Hill poll reveals that former President Donald Trump holds a slight edge over President Joe Biden in all seven key swing states, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Key Details: Trump leads Biden by four points in Arizona, three points in Georgia, one point in Michigan, one point in Nevada, five points in North Carolina, and two points in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Independent voters favor Trump over Biden in five of the seven states, with Biden leading among independents in Georgia and Wisconsin. Emerson College/The Hill also included polling of key Senate races in Arizona and Pennsylvania, with Republican candidates Kari Lake and David McCormick steadily gaining over their Democratic opponents in their respective states.A CBS/YouGov poll finds that Trump leads Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and is just behind Biden in Michiganistan. Trump leads -- barely -- in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin by a single point in both states, 50-49. He is barely behind Biden, 51-49, in Michiganistan. This poll has a lot of bad news for Biden. Although abortion gives Biden a lift, he's behind on the issue of the economy, and the increasingly-salient question of whether he or Biden had a successful presidency. Voters rating the current economy vs. the economy as they remembered it under the Bad Orange Man:
In Michigan, with the presence of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. the net gap between Mr. Biden and Trump is the same, but Kennedy looks like he's drawing more interest from the kinds of voters backing Trump than backing Mr. Biden. Most of those picking Kennedy in a four-way ballot test backed Trump initially in a two-way race with Mr. Biden, including leaners.This is a problem for Trump. Trump's core voters are a mix of conservatives and old-school blue-collar Kennedy-era disaffected Democrats. With an actual Kennedy in a race, some of those voters defect. Sad:
"Pause."

The average from 2020 was off by a lot. Something like 7 points in favor of Biden.
It was so bad that the polling firms were public about a mea culpa for getting is so bad, but it didn't last long and there's been no news I know of about them changing anything regarding anything they do.

Three immediate thoughts come to mind:
1. We're seven months out, and far too early for relevant polls
2. The whole "relevant polls" thing in general
3. Wayne County elections officials
Now I'll go actually read the post in case there are interesting sub-findings.

The polls give the radicals a reason for performing desperate acts.

Assuming that's even remotely accurate, only North Carolina is possibly outside a regular effort at cheating. Even that is still achievable if they set their minds to it.
I hope Biden keeps fucking that chicken. For Trump to win it - unless the Party wants him to (or is willing to allow it), anyway, which I think is possible - he needs much, much deeper margins.

I do think it’s funny he made his point and then went on to explain how you just go on if you don’t get the response you were hoping for with the bonus of explaining how his teleprompter works. Even with all that meandering, his mental acuity is running right over Biden’s.

The early elections including the one in NY Tuesday prove to me polls are bs. No one paid attention while, for decades, Republicans flooded lower courts with conservative judges. The end of Gerrymandering will help keep states from so much voter suppression.
In the primaries, so far, Trump has lost a lot of voters to Haley and others. This is not a good sign for him. It is a good sign for Biden as he may be able to pick up some of those voters who appear to be never Trumpers.
Most major MSM outlets don't call out Trump's crazy and authoritarian shit.
Because we are "nice" and "go high when they go low". We think it’s in bad taste to do the equivalent of the tan suit or the Swift Boat stuff. We bring pillows to a gunfight.
Agree entirely. The Trump and the R/W message is getting through, but not ours. Trump is given credit for what Biden does well. Biden gets the blame for what Trump messed up. The gravity of what Trump has done is lost.

You can't fix the cheap RDD polling strategy due to cell phones, call screening, etc.
You have to go to list and frame designs. You essentially use the geographic frame with personal interviews to correct errors in the statewide polling list frame to find out the unknowables baked into the cake using phone or internet polling.

That's actually interesting. Most people (based on increasingly weird and unreliable statistics) are worse off now than they were in 2019, even 2020. There is a direct, easy comparison between the two with little time distortion. But that also isn't the question.
If I were being honest with a pollster - and I wouldn't be, which is probably why they don't call me - I actually don't know how I would answer this. When the 2024 election comes, I will likely be unemployed and my immediate future is going to be declining regardless of who wins. My intermediate-term prospects are probably better under Trump, though.

Much of the reason that big fraud won in 2020 was that the GOP was actively hostile to fighting it before, during, and after the fact even when those favored the GOP. I came to the conclusion that GOP officeholders and the party infrastructure wanted Trump gone as much as the Dems--over China, endless wars abroad, and open borders.

-- creating a nine-day early voting period;
-- requiring voters to present photo identification or sign an affidavit when voting in person or applying for an absentee ballot;
-- requiring the state to fund a number of absentee ballot dropboxes;
Proposal 2 also added constitutional language saying that "harassing, threatening, or intimidating conduct," as well as laws, regulations, and practices, that have "the intent or effect of denying, abridging, interfering with, or unreasonably burdening the fundamental right to vote" are prohibited.

They already did it and pretty much status quo for 24. The losses in Alabama and GA due to Scotus directed racial redistricting were offset by NC gains.
But, no one is really voting for the GOP in the House and Senate from the idea that they will do much of anything. If Trump gets in, it will resemble Nixon in 1972 more than a Reagan wave right now. Might be more of a wave at the Senate level if states like WI, MI, etc are in play.

It’s not so much the fraud, even though that’s there, it’s just who is going to line up and vote for Joe Biden? Nobody. But a mail in ballot? People will fill that out and send it in. It’s zero work.
The biggest factor for when Democrats would win or not, is their turn out the vote effort. Mail in balloting me that so much easier for them.

Battle lines are drawn, and I'm still of the belief the Deep State will be willing to allow Trump to win. I believe they believe they're capable of controlling him effectively enough.
The alternative, to keep up this nonsense with the trials, and even to assassinate him, I think they did the math and decided it's not worth it. Yet.
So yeah, I'm over the 50% mark, that he's getting elected. What else might happen, if he does? Who knows. We'll see, I guess.

PA sent out 250,000 illegal mail in ballots in 2022 with no legal reason. It was allowed.
PA was ordered, in 2020, by SCOTUS, to not mix dated and undated mail in ballots. They did it anyway.
Please, excuse me for thinking that the GOP will be as unsuccessful this time of convincing the PA system and the federal system to do anything as they were the previous two times.
Also, I remember you putting down the new RNC leadership because the dude was a fool who just stoked Trump's ego for talking about stolen elections.

They are also going to cheat in Texas. Texas is a battleground state in 2024. President Trump won by only 6% in 2020 (631k votes).
That margin was 1.7mil (+23%) in 2004 and 1.26mil (+16%) in 2012. 807k (+9%) in 2016.
A 631k vote margin can easily be made up with votes from all the illegal aliens who invaded Texas over past 4 years.

To some extent, the desperation of teh Dems is that their whole future is Democrat promoted by Ruy Texiera is a dead dream. Texiera himself ( like Fukuyama before him on democracy everywhere) is crawfishing away from that position by claiming that it is because the Democrats forgot to actually act in the people's best interest and rely solely on identity politics.
Trump has the potential to actually realign the polity in 2024 but to do it will have to fight his own party, Dem cheating and lawfare, and the permanent bureaucracy and he does not have time on his side due to term limits and age.

July 2021 Forbes Article: 2020 Election Polls Were The Least Accurate In Decades—Mostly For Underestimating Trump, Report Finds. National polls conducted in the final two weeks of the election were off by an average of 4.5 percentage points, overstating the margin between Trump and now-President Biden (in Biden’s favor) by an average of 3.9 points, according to the report.
...state-level polls were similarly skewed toward the Democratic candidate, offering a too favorable snapshot of Biden’s support by a margin of 4.3 points...Overall, in comparing the polling to the election’s final outcomes, the review found surveys underestimated Trump’s favorability in nearly every state by an average margin of 3.3 points, and overstated Biden’s by a single point.

Black swan events will apply to the party in power is how that goes. Worsening economy, terrorist attacks, etc. will not cause a rally round the flag because Biden's junta is simply incapable of generating that sort of appeal and incapable now of any coherent policies for fear of upsetting the hard left. That is why Gaza is still an open wound for the Dems months after the actual event. That is why even with the horrendous effects nationwide of unrestricted open borders will continue to be hated by a majority of the US voters, and so on. Biden's junta is divided over doing anything to end that wound as well. Then you have spending out the wazoo by fedgov, the shipping of billions to Ukraine, etc.

I’m willing to give Trump some major slack on moving to the middle on abortion.
I’m hopeful people stop making it such a focus, but I’ve seen polls where it’s the number one issue among female voters
Posted by: Benchmark at May 02, 2024 04:31 PM (RKkAM)
I'd be willing to support a moratorium on this issue from the conservative side if it meant we get to actually unfuck our government.
If Trump moved to the middle and then started with the helicopter rides, it'd be worth it.

I invited The Kid to go see it as I never did Back Then. In subsequent viewings I love the FX and that alien ship! What a triumph.
But the human behavior, like all popular horror movies, has always irritated me.
So I'm supposed to go see this revival of ALIEN, which I have never seen on a big screen, knowing I'm not going to like it that much. Can you love a movie for its asthetic and not the other parts? I still love the 1982 BLADE RUNNER despite all its flaws. I admit it's because of Deckard and Rachel's love scene in his flat.
During Rona Panic The Kid took me to see THE THING, 1982, and man that was AWESOME. Wow did that hold up. Scary as shit.
So I guess I should just go to see ALIEN.

Yes, but I think you're overthinking it. COVID? Political corruption? Warmongering abroad? Enabling terrorists at home? Sure, all that and more. Malfeasance is as broad as it is deep, and touches everything. No one thing - not even a thing as big as COVID-related perfidy - will be "the" thing.
The country is broke. We're out of money, short on influence and no longer have the ability to enforce our whims abroad and externalize consequences beyond our borders. Barring either radical and extremely painful reform or a sudden new industrial revolution, the goose is cooked.
So yes, we're in the "loot the empire" stage, but I don't think it has to do with any one thing specifically, not even the evils of the COVID era. The trigger, when it is found, will likely be minor in the grand scheme of things. It often is. "The last straw" needn't be a heavy one.

Unh-uh. Trump has to WIN MI, period the end, to win the election, imo. The ONLY way Trump can win without MI is to carry PA instead, & it's VERY unlikely he can win PA while losing MI.
So, MI is it. The RCP avg for MI is Trump +1.3%, IIRC.

We go into discontinuity land there as every state has laws that actually throw out election results if they exceed the margin of victory or registered voters. That only works in the relatively few states that allow same day registration and it becomes infinitely more challenging electorally to get people out there to do it in person. Works for races in places like NH for the Dems, probably will not help them in a place like MI (the Dem majority just created same day registration and voting there).
So, if the Dems are willing to roll the dice by trying to do something like that, you get a discontinuity nationwide with unpredictable results for everyone including the Dems. It won't be a repeat of 2020 this time as a majority of voters already believe that was a fake result as well.
Obvious fakery again risks systematic failure of the whole voting scheme and end the regime itself along with the Deep State for a time.

1. Excellent meat prepared perfectly by people who know what they're doing
2. An environment expensive enough that you can have a nice time without the hoi polloi and be surrounded by obsequious waiters who scrape the crumbs off your tablecloth for you
Or, of course, both.

Cuts of meat that are generous and when prepared, tasty and tender. I'm not looking for ambience and $100 bottles of wine. Just a good cut that's prepare correctly and perhaps some decent sides.

There's an episode of The Simpsons where the family goes to a new steakhouse. They kill the cow you choose for your meal right there in front of you (offscreen in the show, of course). Homer actually kills three of them because he didn't like the first two.

They changed the Oreo cookies in Japan and they now suck. The creme is thin and hard.
A few years ago they raised the prices and I stopped buying (coke did the same) trying to be a "premium" brand. Recently they came back down to earth, so I have been buying but they totally suck now.

Exactly. In that second category, the steak is beside the point. It has to be good, but nothing more.
Kinda like a country club. The point is who *isn't* there.
I found that I don't like "fine dining." The product is usually excellent, but I am actually discomfited by the level of obsequiousness involved. I don't need five servants who blend into the shadows and fawn over me otherwise. I'm not a Bourbon monarch. It makes me uncomfortable.

They do but a lot of that is because they drank their own Koolaid and are now in Jim Jones land. Street level hustlers used for the steal are far more cunning than the POS Democrat party leaders and movements without the peons behind them get purged. Hustlers are always capable of just pocketing the money and walking away. The Dems cannot afford to try to discipline them.
Essentially in country after country, the wheels are falling off the left's disastrous policies spurred by a bunch of nihilistic oligarchs congregating at Davos.
They push it, they are likely to live in fear from the plebes droning them for the rest of their miserable lives. I've been following some of the drone wars in Ukraine and it is fascinating how the ground level troops are using them in unintended ways to harass and kill the enemy which leads to countermeasures that are overcome by new designs and so on.

We know the reinvestment coming back to the US, but it is not coming back across all areas. Texas, Tennessee, Indiana are basking in capital investment. California, NY, and Illinois are not. As the global trade networks fray into regional or bilateral trade agreements, the need for USD will decline.
There will be no single specific global reserve currency because the world will not need one. This makes it impossible to export inflation and hide overspending. This kills all the beautiful people's reason to live. The next Civil War will be the economic winners (almost all red states) telling DC to take a hike. And DC cannot do anything about it.

That is actually bullshit. A lot of the fakery was on the margins--after all Bush still got the Presidency in 2000 despite the last ditch attempts by the Dems to overturn it via fraud and lawfare.
You push it to eleventy and you get some reaction just like a few tylenol are tolerated but taking the whole bottle results in a poor outcome.
The Dems are defeatable just like the Commies are but a lot of people curiously want to be defeated just like the French in 1940.
Nothing is forever, trees do not grow into the sky and all trends must end. Death and taxes are about the only certainties in life and humans are working on death. I think advances on that is part of the reason that the oligarchy is behaving the way it is and now openly genocidal. They think they will live forever but don't want the plebes to do so.

MI in 2022 passed a new law, now in effect. It provides for 9 days of early voting. No ballots will be counted unless they're postmarked on or before election day.
A voter requesting an absentee ballot must sign an affidavit, or present a photo ID, to receive an absentee ballot.
This new law has been determined to be constitutional by MI state courts.
This is new. I submit that MI is going to be less hospitable for fraud.

Surprise! Soros DA and Trump's Persecutor Alvin Bragg Might Not Prosecute Columbia Rioters
Well knock me over with a feather.
On Wednesday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg refused to say whether he will prosecute the pro-Palestinian rioters who broke into and took over Hamilton Hall at Columbia University.Biden finally spoke up about the antisemitic protests on Democrat plantation colleges. Specifically, he did a replay of his "fine people on both sides" equivocation, using this occasion of overt antisemitism to warn about... Come on, you know. You don't need anyone to tell you.
Bragg is currently prosecuting Donald Trump for an alleged campaign finance violation that is normally tried as a misdemeanor offense and would normally result in a fine as a felony. In addition to elevating the misdemeanor offense to a felony, the statute of limitations on the alleged crime had passed. On top of that, nondisclosure agreements are not illegal. Despite Bragg's overzealousness to go after Trump, he was unresponsive to inquiries from the Daily Caller regarding potential charges for pro-Palestinian rioters arrested on Tuesday. The New York Police Department (NYPD) arrested 119 rioters at Columbia University on Tuesday evening, as well as 173 at a City University of New York (CUNY) protest, where students also took over an administrative building.
"Given his track record and the political nature of the events, I would be surprised if the Manhattan District Attorney's Office prosecuted the charges in a serious manner," Cornell Law School professor William Jacobson told the Daily Caller. "The charges are likely to be dropped against most perpetrators, and drastically reduced for others under an agreement that would see the charges eventually expunged."
BIDEN: "There should be no place on any campus, no place in America, for antisemitism or threats of violence against Jewish students. There is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind, whether it's antisemitism, Islamophobia, or discrimination against Arab Americans or… pic.twitter.com/I6T8cK0RHc

Joey Showers gives three examples of hate speech in connection with cannibals screaming "Kill the Jews" on college campuses. Two of the three examples he gives are "hate speech" against the main perpetrators of the current Jew-hating gas-chamber fantasies.

Tucker was chatting with the guy from OAN recently, and how the Deep State is trying to force OAN out of business, with the approval of corporate media.
They got to the subject of Joe and Mika, and Tucker alluded more than once to how insane it is that Joe is lecturing anyone about morality and ethics.
I think he wants to talk about the dead intern. He obviously knows about the dead intern, and suggests the dead intern is the reason Joe is such a reliable mouthpiece for the Deep State, but Tucker's smart enough not to say anything specific about the dead intern, without having enough legal cover, because Joe will sue over the dead intern, not unlike Dan Schneider suing over people calling him a pedophile.

How is a tent encampment on Library Mall at University of Wisconsin doing any of the above? The Library Mall is not even near any classroom buildings, so it doesn't interfere with people going to class.
Students were harrassed by the encampment members. No need for a camp anyway. The idea that you protest a war thousands of miles away where we can't really stop it. It is not our country. And to pretend that Hamas is a peace-loving group is foolish.
If a pro-Israel protest was raided by dozens of pro-Palestine people wearing all black and Halloween masks — who committed HUNDREDS of assaults —every politician would be calling for an FBI investigation. "Over more than five hours Tuesday night, pro-Israel Zionist agitators violently beat, pepper sprayed and threw fireworks at hundreds of students and protesters in a “unilateral, surprise attack“ at UCLA’s Palestine solidarity encampment while security and police stood idle.

There is more to that statement than they think. These protests inconvenience normal people - in fact that is their point. To ruin our day. Drive Jewish students off campus. Harass the police. Prevent finals and graduation ceremonies. They are victimizing normal people.
January 6 - the protest ruined THIER day. Hence it was the absolute worst thing that has ever happened ever, right up there with the holocaust. Why lawmakers had to briefly leave a building. Why I never.... The nerve of these people.
THAT is the core difference, and why the two events cannot be compared. It is a comparison between what happens to US and what happens to THEM. What happens to us is kinda sorta deserved, what happens to them is never justified in any way. Their rioters are no biggie, because they were only hurting us. Our rioters are a threat to democracy and must be arrested and never see the light of day.

The Ivies are the AAA feeder teams for the Big Leagues of American political and financial corruption. They don't give a damn about academics - just that you come out of the correct social stratum, and that you've demonstrated loyalty to the hive.
Getting arrested is a plus for these kids. They know they won't see the inside of a jail for more than one night. And it gets their name on the police blotter.
When a prospective patron later runs one of these names and sees it there he'll say "oh this rancid little maggot went above and beyond... she'll make a fine, ravenous human botfly. Invite her to feast on the body politic with us!"
And years down the road, when she's pandering to rich Arabs at a mosque during an election campaign, she'll talk about her lifelong commitment to the victorious jihad, and tell them how she carries hummus in her purse.

Most media reports of personal relationships of the elite are both fake and gay (in some cases quite literally). A lot of them are homosexuals and hide that under a beard. A lot of them have relationships of convenience in public but then fool around with paid or unpaid hoes and gigolos.
There is the old logic puzzle of "Who shaves the Spanish Barber?". The answer is direct observation by following the Spanish Barber around until you see him get shaved and who by.

The GOP is the one that at Murcow's insistence put ranked order voting in place. The establishment GOP tried to do that in safely red Missouri and other GOP places as well in order to prevent those on the right from getting office.
Another oligarchic trick to screw the right out of being able to win. Same as Utah governor Cox getting pissed because he got booed at the recent Utah GOP party convention. At that convention, a few years ago, Bob Bennett got his ass removed from office a few years back by the far superior Mike Lee.
The GOPe side of the Uniparty hates any competition on the Right because it just might result in their grift and gravy train ending in disgrace.

As per Mediaite, Carlson asserted, "He was stupid, but he didn’t know that he was— I mean, he was actually kind of dumb." He continued, "But he would philosophize. I was kind of like 10 years younger and I was his captive and he would just lecture me as he was rubbing against the door frame."

People like Alvin Braggs, Letitia James, Kathy Hochul, etc., etc. is that they are knowingly or (more likely) unknowingly, applying the Curly Principle.
Whereas, make a certain type of political belief unpleasant to hold and excercise, and you will either get people to knuckle under or vote with their feet.
They will turn New York....city, county and state, into a deep leftist playground, where ANYTHING goes, as long as it is approved of dogma, and anything NOT APPROVED will be persecuted by the law.
Example: Donald J. Trump
I think it is only a matter of time....when, not if, that the big financial institutions based in NYC will begin to vacate the city, county and state of New York. Where they go, is not certain. But it will happen, someday, sooner rather than later.
And frankly, a relative handful (50-100K people) pay the taxes that make the New York City political circus operate. Get those people to leave, and the whole thing will collapse.

It's sinking in. Especially in the ghettos where the Hispanics congregate. They're officially put at the front of the free shit line. Plus they're getting bennies the blacks don't. Free clothes, phones, housing, food, legal representation, etc.
I realize welfare will supply a lot of that, but the degree to which the illegals are sucking up resources is causing the blacks to be put off for lack of funding. For some things.

That's not really much more than part of the answer. I don't think ALL pols are sociopaths. What is more general among pols is that they are drawn to the perks of the job, more than the... you know, the "I just want to help people" bullshit line they all tell.
So... the perks. When people wave things you find attractive in your face, you might need to be slowly groomed up to taking full advantage of the darker, more sinister perks. I'd assume there are many who resist, because they're not properly groomed, so while you can get somebody who is a freshman congresscritter to bang a Chinese spy hooker, you can't necessarily get him to tag team and kill a black male prostitute. It took Adam Schiff years to reach that level.

James Michael Curley, a four-time mayor of Boston, used wasteful redistribution to his poor Irish constituents and incendiary rhetoric to encourage richer citizens to emigrate from Boston, thereby shaping the electorate in his favor. Boston as a consequence stagnated, but Curley kept winning elections. We present a model of the Curley effect, in which inefficient redistributive policies are sought not by interest groups protecting their rents, but by incumbent politicians trying to shape the electorate through emigration of their opponents or reinforcement of class identities. The model sheds light on ethnic politics in the United States and abroad, as well as on class politics in many countries including Britain.

James Michael Curley, a four-time mayor of Boston, used wasteful redistribution to his poor Irish constituents and incendiary rhetoric to encourage richer citizens to emigrate from Boston, thereby shaping the electorate in his favor. Boston as a consequence stagnated, but Curley kept winning elections. We present a model of the Curley effect, in which inefficient redistributive policies are sought not by interest groups protecting their rents, but by incumbent politicians trying to shape the electorate through emigration of their opponents or reinforcement of class identities. The model sheds light on ethnic politics in the United States and abroad, as well as on class politics in many countries including Britain.

The Curley Effect is essentially how most local politics seems to run now, especially in larger cities.
It's about the levels of power of this in city hall and nothing else. If the streets get covered in literal shit, it doesn't matter, as long as those in power stay in power.

I've spent time dealing on a personal level with assholes from Congress, state legislatures, and local government. The nice ones in person are generally the ones that the media hates like Jesse Helms for example and even their own party as a result despises them.
Politicians based on principle are few compared with those seeking to play out their personal psychoses out on a national stage like Ladybugs Lindsay saying, " You've got a gun--shoot them".
We would do far better filling those offices with a draft of the general population rather than who self chooses to run for office.

It's sinking in. Especially in the ghettos where the Hispanics congregate. They're officially put at the front of the free shit line. Plus they're getting bennies the blacks don't. Free clothes, phones, housing, food, legal representation, etc.
I realize welfare will supply a lot of that, but the degree to which the illegals are sucking up resources is causing the blacks to be put off for lack of funding. For some things.
And they are livid about it. I think things may boil over this summer. If we're not at war with ourselves first.

WaPo: House passes bill that would empower feds to crack down on campus protests, By Abigail Hauslohner
National security reporter
"The House on Wednesday passed a bill aimed at empowering the federal government to crack down on campus protests by codifying a definition of antisemitism that encompasses not just threats against Jews, but also certain criticisms of Israel itself.
Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) told reporters Thursday that Senate leaders had conducted “hotlines” — polling the members of both parties to see whether the Senate would be able to pass the House bill through unanimous consent — avoiding a lengthy procedure and debate.
But “there are objections on both sides,” Schumer said. “So we’re going to look for the best way to move forward,” leaving the door open to a possible vote — and potentially lengthy Senate debate — on the matter later this month."

Ukranian Troll Farm Employee Confesses: I Was Paid to Inject Pro-Ukraine Propaganda Into American Social Media. But For Some Reason, We Were Told to Propagandize for Joe Biden.
She suspects that this troll farm was funded by the CIA, which would mean the CIA was running yet another psyop targeting the citizens of the United Fucking States who pay these scumbags their salaries.
Meme Therefore I Am
@ImMeme0 BREAKING: CIA Operates Troll Farms in Kyiv to Influence American Voters and To Assure Biden's 2024 Win. A former employee of one of the Kyiv troll factories owned by the head of Zelensky's office, Andriy Yermak, spoke about how the interference in the upcoming American elections is taking place in Ukraine with the help of the CIA. According to the source, the purpose of the interference is to ensure Biden's victory over Trump. A former employee showed a video taken inside a troll factory, as well as several photos, guidelines and a list of accounts that trolls use to influence the American voters. "Long story short we were asked to do everything to prevent Donald Trump from winning the elections. So basically, this topic was added to our main lines of work. Since then, each of us had to post at least 3 to 5 posts daily posing as the Americas and Europeans, criticizing Donald Trump and praising Biden. The Americans have even organized a few lectures for us to get a better understanding of American politics, the American mindset the main social and political issues. Then we were occupied with the topics for the job which sounded like this: 1.Unlike Trump, Biden is a smart and experienced politician. 2. Unlike Trump, Biden will never betray NATO partners. Trump will alienate our partners. 3. Biden will not abandon Ukraine. Biden will protect democracy, while Trump is Putin's puppet. I honestly tried to convince myself it's Okay since Biden is clearly a better option for Ukraine, but it was just too much for me... One thing is to work for the best interests of my country, but interfering in US politics is a whole other thing."

I think my favorite scenario that I have invented in my head is the left being unable to come up with the right amount of cheat for any reason and then calling for a do-over election because the election results can't be trusted.

Oy vey.
Forgive me for going out on a limb and making assumptions, but this sounds rather a lot like, "I did bad things that I knew at the time were bad because thought it served my interests and the ends justified the means. It turned out that far from serving my interests, it got my country invaded and my countrymen killed and so now I will lament in public."

I think that's almost a certainty at this point. They won't necessarily call for a do-over, because (hopefully) the GOP would use that as a reason to call for massive upgrades in election security, which the left does not want. But they'd use accusations that the election was fraudulent to justify throwing sand in the gears of Trump II.

Even a person posting this with motives of not being punished for what they did is doing a good thing. Public repentance and repudiation, whether real or not for the person, is preferable to them keeping silent. Confession is good for the soul regardless of the motive.

WASHINGTON – The Justice Department’s special counsel announced the indictment Friday of a notorious Russian troll farm – charging 13 individuals who allegedly were involved in a scheme to criminally interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
The Internet Research Agency, which is based in St. Petersburg, Russia, was named in the indictment.
“From in or around 2014 to the present, defendants knowingly and intentionally conspired with each other (and with persons known and unknown to the grand jury) to defraud the United States by impairing, obstructing, and defeating the lawful functions of the government through fraud and deceit for the purpose of interfering with the U.S. political and electoral processes, including the presidential election of 2016,” the indictment states. . .

When I was in college, the CIA recruiters on campus did performance art instead. Dudes in black suits and wearing earpieces would skulk around in the shadows and hand out little recruitment cards to some of the passers-by (I have no idea what their criteria were). Sometimes, they'd do shit like execute a shoulder-roll from behind a fountain or other hiding place, pop up in front of you, and give you a recruitment card.
They were, just like today, selling an image of the CIA to aid recruitment. It was just a different image.

I can understand part of it--my mother has vascular dementia along with some Alzheimers. Dementia that is predominately Alzheimers has a relatively short period before a person is no longer able to function. Vascular dementia is more focused on specific brain regions and common among those with heart and stroke problems---you can last for years with that sort of dementia because it doesn't progress at the same rate that the more generalized Alzheimer appears too.
Right now, mother is going on five years with that sort of dementia predominating. It does take something more than the quickie type of testing to indicate and requires an expensive PET scan to more or less confirm the diagnosis. Neither vascular or Alzheimers is curable so generally docs don't make the effort. It does mean that some drugs that work well with Alzheimers alone don't work with those with vascular.

I realize there are a lot of people jumping in and out of bed with each other on these matters, so I don't know if anyone really has a clear read on whose side the Deep State is on, with regards to Israel.
Is it a money laundering scheme? Almost certainly.
Are they wanting disorder in the Middle East to continue? Almost certainly.
Do they hate the Palis as much as anyone else, and hope they die? Almost certainly.
So then, where does the conflict come in? Seems to me it's at the point of the politicians, rather than the bureaucrats, so I'm guessing the bureaucrats are gonna win, and any worries anyone has that the U.S. of A. won't keep pumping money into Israel is probably overblown.

I wasn't at an Ivy, but there were CIA recruitment activities at my first college, which was the state university system's flagship campus.

The true purpose is to give the impression of mass. It is the door opener for election fraud so that when the guy in the oval office gets "81 Million votes" despite only a handful of people showing up at his campaign events, they can refer to the voluminous presence on the internet providing support. It's just a cog in the election fraud cycle. Bogus polls are also a part of this.

This is a view that fundamentally misses the point of the CIA.
The CIA's cover was to engage in covert ops around the globe, to protect American interests, and influence foreign entities to side with the U.S. of A.
That was what people thought their job was. That wasn't their job. Their job was to control and influence the American people, to protect deep pocket entities, and keep the bureaucracy running and the money flowing, without politicians being able to get in their way.
And when a politician tried to get in their way, or some American citizen got too uppity?

>>The idea was that he would recruit from different pools, e.g. the business community.
Actually, on the whole, Trumps picks were solid, he tried to go outside the box with Tillerman for SOS, as well as others, but ultimately the most consequential picks were circumscribed by who the Senate would allow to be confirmed.
If he gets another shot, basically he's got to pull the first 100 names out of the phone book as appointments, at lease he'll have a 50/50 shot at not getting a backstabbing POS in a position.

I think most of us have been unpleasantly surprised at what has happened to business execs in the last few years. Sure, maybe they were lying before about their proclivities, but I sure didn't think they'd become what they have.

She did.
What is often missed, or mischaracterized, however, is the work she did as a CIA agent: Steinem was a spook.
CIA agents are tight-lipped, but Steinem spoke openly about her relationship to The Agency in the 1950s and ’60s after a magazine revealed her employment by a CIA front organization, the Independent Research Service.
While popularly pilloried because of her paymaster, Steinem defended the CIA relationship, saying: “In my experience The Agency was completely different from its image; it was liberal, nonviolent and honorable.”

She was a CIA asset working on American soil. Feminism's leading light was run as a part of series of ops rooted in studying the "land reform" movement in India. She was a revolutionary communist and peddled her communism dressed up as feminism (it's all feminism ever was) to destroy the bulwark against it: the family.
And she did it with active assistance from the CIA. On American soil. More than 60 years ago.

I think that's an out of date perspective. That was to assume the State Department was operating its own Deep State op, as was the Justice Department.
While those entities are not completely dead, they are to a much greater extent than most people realize, controlled by Intelligence. They've been infiltrated and overrun, and the extent to which there appears to be dissention, it's either from people have didn't get the memo, or it's a way to keep everyone in the dark. In other words, the illusion of there being factions, is just another op.

Biden's visit as vice-president must have helped.

While those entities are not completely dead, they are to a much greater extent than most people realize, controlled by Intelligence. They've been infiltrated and overrun, and the extent to which there appears to be dissention, it's either from people have didn't get the memo, or it's a way to keep everyone in the dark. In other words, the illusion of there being factions, is just another op.

No, I think it is out of date to think of it as State vs IC vs DoD as monoliths. Each organization has cliques in it fighting for their ideas. State had the destroy Russia by Sanctions vs Newland's War with Russia crowd that had been arming Ukraine for a decade. Defense has always been more reluctant to see its toys exposed as vulnerable in modern war, but factions there pressed for the absurd "drive to the sea" offensive after giving Russia 6 months to build defenses. The offensive that didn't even *reach* those defenses.

President Biden called Japan and India ‘xenophobic’ at an off-camera campaign fundraiser in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, lumping the U.S. allies in with China and Russia while making the argument that the United States is right to welcome in immigrants.
“This election is about freedom, America and democracy. That’s why I badly need you. You know, one of the reasons why our economy is growing is because of you and many others. Why? Because we welcome immigrants,” the president said.
“The reason — look, think about it. Why is China stalling so badly economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia? Why is India? Because they’re xenophobic. They don’t want immigrants. Immigrants are what makes us strong. Not a joke; that’s not hyperbole. Because we have an influx of workers who want to be here and want to contribute,” he added, according to a pool report.

Selective pressures are undermining the feminist movement as well because their goals are not in congruence with humanity.
Basically all the social sciences and those using it in power try to work against human nature instead of working with it. The invisible hand does not just apply to economics and like in the case of the Soviet Union, a critical mass will go around, below, and so on to get around any barriers that the state may try to put up.
It is a fools errand in the long run by self extinguishing feminists, gays, and other people that have adopted existential despair as their cause, will die off. You cannot kill bad ideas but you sure as hell can push them back for generations when the burnt hand learns to avoid the fire.

Yes, but that doesn't mean a good outcome.
Feminism directly attacked the single most powerful structural support for civilization: marriage, sex and children. Successful civilizations spent literal millennia honing systems to regulate those things, because they are for all the marbles. Do it right, and you'll conquer a continent. Do it wrong, and you collapse into ash.
They have cut down major supports holding up the entire edifice. Even when it fails - and it will, for the reasons you point out - that doesn't mean we survive the failure.

I suspect if you put a real lifetime ban on any public or semi-public (eg NGOs) aide going to immigrants that would be tru-ish.
Then you would actually get the people that want to work for a living.
You would still have the problem that they would make the US more like their own countries. And since their countries are mostly shitholes that's an issue.

In Steinem's day the idea was to denigrate moms and get young girls out into businesses to remove them from the support of the family.
Posted by: Oldcat
=============
Steinem was actually a champion of the housewife and was anti-denigration. "Oh, she's a housewife? So she doesn't work" was the sort of thing she combatted. She preached that it was hard and difficult work that people improperly dissed. Go back and take a look, you'll see.

Wealth and power in the private world inevitably spills over to governance and the aims of society. Late feudalism, in part like in France, was an attempt to pull the teeth out of the wealthy using wealth for political power. As practiced by Louis XIV, he made them strive for court recognition in society rather than political power. He did such things by allowing the wealth to buy into the aristocracy and requiring the existing aristocracy to spend ruinous amounts of their wealth competing with others for royal favor at Versailles rather than at their own estates fomenting trouble.

China and Japan are not comparable situations. China has a billion and a half of ruin to rest upon. Japan could disappear in a generation.
That's not to say I believe in the demographic catastrophe that everyone seems exercised about. I don't; our post-industrial age does not need replacement programs. The fact that a shit-ton of people are seriously suggesting UBI and 15 minute cities proves we don't need immigrant feeder programs. We don't need Population Uber Alles idiocy.

I was reading a female critique of 1st generation feminism and it was interesting. The author argued that giving women the vote was dumb because either they would vote the same way as their husband, so it makes no difference, or they'd vote the opposite and then cancel her family's say in government.
It was an interesting perspective. The key to understanding it being the focus on the family as the core social unit versus the individual.

When the trannys drive the feminists out of all the influential jobs, and sports they might have nowhere to go but to the family.
When you show current career women what life looked like in the 50s a significant percentage of them will ask why the hell their grandmothers threw it all away.
I mean seriously as a man I get no "life satisfaction" out of working at a corporate job, just a pay check. And thanks to feminism (and the left in general) you need two of those paychecks to buy what one did in the 50s.

No idea how people in the past handled that. Just that the current total ignorance of modern women these days that you can just have kids above 35 with no risks, or that they can freeze eggs and have kids later isn't rational. I knew that stuff off the streets as a kid.
It isn't a subject I follow but I do see women on YT bringing into question the effects on women of our current birth control chemicals. I would not be at all surprised if these are actual problems that the medical industry isn't interested in because of the social pressure.

Louis XIV and his descendants blew most of the state treasury on personal luxury and foreign wars. It was one of Louis XIV's dying admissions that he got France into too many expensive and unnecessary wars. Louis XV and XVI did not listen and spent ruinous amounts trying to stop the Brits from worldwide colonies rather than trying to be the predominant power in Europe. Including spending a lot of money for very little benefit to the French state by subsidizing and fighting for American Independence. We came out all right, the French debt bomb exploded which led to Louis and his wife among others being executed in part because of this massive debt crisis.

Fertility does decline as you age and even absent modern birth control there are ways to make sure you don't get preggers.
Though your point on women not understanding the risks of having children late in life is spot on. I think it was on a segment of the Whatever podcast where one person told a group of women their fertility starts declining in their late 20s and none of them would believe him. One of the female guests brought up a celebrity that had a kid at 40 and they all started arguing that means there are no drawbacks to waiting that long...
