The Democrats Are Losing Voters All Over the Country as the GOP Steals Them Away
A new Insider Advantage poll finds Trump's approval surging -- except with the oldest voters.
Voters Not So MuchMeanwhile, the Democrats are losing voters by the millions:
Posted on August 18, 2025 Survey conducted August 15-17; MOE 3.09% What is your opinion of President Trump's Job Performance? Approve: 54% Disapprove: 44% Undecided/ No Opinion: 2% Analysis by InsiderAdvantage Pollster Matt Towery: Donald Trump now has an advantage among every age group other than the most senior of voters. He has improved his numbers among African-Americans and Hispanic-Latinos. White voters are at a near record 64%. Voters under 65 years of age now approve of his job performance by wide margins. Only the nation's oldest voters disapprove of his job performance, which is consistent with our prior surveys. Overall, his approval numbers are surging upwards post-summit.
Many blue states, like massive California, register voters by party while many red states, including Texas, do not, so the number of nationwide registered voters by party does not tell the full story. But in those 30 states with partisan voter registration, Democrats' eleven-point edge over Republicans on Election Day 2020 plummeted to just over six points in 2024, an alarming trend for Democrats. "I don't want to say, 'The death cycle of the Democratic Party,' but there seems to be no end to this," Michael Pruser, director of data science for Decision Desk HQ, told the Times. "There is no silver lining or cavalry coming across the hill. This is month after month, year after year." More trends paint a similarly dire picture for Democrats. By 2024, the Republican party's share of new registered voters nationwide "had overtaken Democrats'," rising by nine points compared to 2018, the report details, while Democrats' fell by almost eight percent. The shift from 2020 to 2024 was prevalent in the four swing states with partisan data available as well -- North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada. Identifying the problem is likely to be far easier than fixing it. Due to the makeup of Trump's new Republican Party coalition, achieved through gains across multiple demographics, Democrats are unable to go back to the well of recruitment of racial minorities to reverse their downward trajectory. The Times report reads:For years, the left has relied on a sprawling network of nonprofits -- which solicit donations from people whose identities they need not disclose -- to register Black, Latino and younger voters. Though the groups are technically nonpartisan, the underlying assumption has been that most new voters registering would vote Democratic.Mr. Trump upended that calculation with the inroads he made with working-class nonwhite voters.
Shane Goldmacher of the NYT tells Democrats the bad news.
Shane Goldmacher
@ShaneGoldmacher NEW at NYT: The Democratic Party is facing a voter registration crisis in red, blue and battleground states alike -- losing ground to the GOP everywhere. My deep dive into the numbers and what it reveals about the party's brand.30 states plus D.C. allow for partisan registration. Between 2020 and 2024, Democrats lost 2.1 million voters in those states. GOP gained 2.4 million. But those topline figures are just the start... By percentage, Democrats went from nearly an 11-point edge over GOP in 2020 to just over a 6-point edge in 2024. Along the way, some states have flipped to GOP registration edge entirely. Florida, of course. But more big ones are likely coming... In Pennsylvania, the quintessential battleground, Democrats had registration advantage of 517,310 among active voters in November 2020. As of this summer: Only 53,303 voters.
In North Carolina, Republicans erased roughly 95 percent of the registration advantage that Democrats held in the fall of 2020 by this summer. The Dem edge is less than 17,000 -- down from nearly 400,000 in 2020. Some have dismissed registration as a lagging indicator in the past. But in 2024 it proved prescient: Democratic weakness was concentrated where Trump was strongest, among men and younger voters.There are few better measurement's of a party's brand than who actively chooses to identify (and register) with it. And fewer and fewer voters are choosing to become Democrats. Check out this graphic of the trendline for new registrants since 2018.
We also have some takeaways on the findings. This is perhaps the most stark one.

Adam Schiff Starts a Legal Defense Fundraise As He Senses the (Say It With Me) Walls Are Closing In
Plus: Fauci Suppressed Intel That China Created Covid-19
This is illegal fundraising, isn't it?
Adam Schiff has always loved the spotlight, but not like this. The California senator, best known as the face of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax and the architect of the first impeachment circus, is now launching something very different: the "Senator Schiff Legal Defense Fund." Schiff filed the paperwork with the IRS last week. This move doesn't exactly inspire confidence in his future. You don't create a legal defense fund unless you expect things to get messy. And he knows he's in serious trouble over his alleged mortgage fraud. According to his camp, this isn't about a real scandal but revenge. A Schiff spokesperson immediately blamed Donald Trump and his supporters for supposedly weaponizing the justice system. "It's clear that Donald Trump and his MAGA allies will continue weaponizing the justice process to attack Senator Schiff for holding this corrupt administration accountable," the spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "This fund will ensure he can fight back against these baseless smears while continuing to do his job." Translation: Schiff knows the walls are closing in, but he wants his donors to pay the bill. The problem is that the allegations against Schiff don't look like political fiction. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) referred him to the Justice Department last month. Investigators say Schiff falsified bank documents and property records related to a Potomac, Md., home, securing sweetheart loan terms between 2003 and 2019.
And: Prosecute Fauci.
You won't be surprised to learn that the New York Times joined in the effort to smear the scientists trying to find the real origin of covid-19.
Senior American intelligence officials concealed classified intelligence that COVID-19 came from a lab from the president and the public, granting Anthony Fauci's inner circle extraordinary influence while silencing their own spy scientists, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found. Evidence pointing to a lab leak included signals intelligence collected from Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leaders in 2019 between Beijing and Wuhan revealing a major emergency, one former official told the DCNF. An increasingly political deep state concealed it from President Donald Trump during the first two months of the pandemic, deflecting blame from China as political rival Joe Biden sought to lay responsibility for the pandemic squarely at Trump's feet. Higher-ups continued to dismiss evidence for a lab leak as the fodder for a conspiracy theory and Trump's hardline stance against China, deceiving millions of Americans about a disease that upended their lives and felled loved ones. Spy scientists at four intelligence agencies and four other government officials spoke to the DCNF on condition of anonymity to reveal previously unreported details about censored intelligence under two presidential administrations. Spy scientists also decoded engineering in the COVID-19 genome -- clues Chinese authorities were powerless to hide, two spy scientists said. But this evidence was conspicuously omitted from public reports released by the intelligence community under then-President Biden, as senior officials instead elevated the analyses of Fauci's inner circle, who argued the virus was assuredly natural. The omission prompted a formal complaint from one agency, one spy scientist said.
Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard told the DCNF she would hold the intelligence community accountable by working with whistleblowers, reviewing classified material, and investigating where taxpayer funds may have helped create the COVID-19 virus. "It is clear that dissenting views were likely silenced to support the Biden Administration's preferred narrative. Under President Trump's maximum transparency agenda, we're committed to exposing the truth so that we can build back trust in the intelligence community," Gabbard said. Some officials responsible remain in government service, including at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), a government official told the DCNF. CIA Director John Ratcliffe, a longtime critic of the politicization of intelligence about the origins of COVID he witnessed as DNI during Trump's first term, will hold individuals accountable, CIA spokesperson Liz Lyons told the DCNF. ... Fauci was granted a full pardon by President Biden on his last day in office, Jan. 20, 2025. Jon Myers, a former director of regional intelligence in the Pentagon for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the DCNF that he could say with "100% certainty" that in the fall of 2019 he had seen intelligence about an incident at a lab in Wuhan when reviewing traffic on the Pentagon's secret compartmentalized intelligence machine and had included this information in his "read boards" for commanders. But that information never reached Trump's Presidential Daily Brief in January or February 2020, a former senior White House national security official told the DCNF. "Customer #1 was getting nothing related to the origins," he said.
ODNI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (created by Bush's stupid post-9/11 reorganization) was of course headed by James "that's our story and we're sticking to it"/"There is no 'I' in 'Intelligence'" Clapper at this time. Clapper must have filled ODNI with Obamaite traitors, because Tulsi Gabbard just announced she is clearing house:
In early February 2020, Redfield, a virologist, and Pottinger, a former journalist who had reported on the SARS epidemic in China, were poring over binders of evidence that clearly contradicted the narrative that the lab origin theory was a conspiracy theory, Redfield said. Pottinger tasked the IC with digging into both the natural and lab origin theories. By late April, New York Times reporters on the intelligence beat prepared a story smearing Pottinger's request as pressure to arrive at a predetermined conclusion, emails show. Communications officials at the DIA, State Department and ODNI prepared a response to refute the Times' claims, documents show. Then-DNI Ric Grenell said in an April 29, 2020 email that the "IC wide statement" would say "we are down to two options for covid." But the next day, ODNI released an inaccurate and oddly premature statement that there was "wide scientific consensus" the virus could not have been "manmade or genetically modified." There was no input from Pottinger's group at the NSC, rattling some in the White House, one official said. ... The same day ODNI released its false statement, the Times published its story about Pottinger. It cast him as "conclusion shopping" akin to the runup to the Iraq War. The Times also cited Fauci's "Proximal Origin" paper as evidence of a natural origin. The Times had reported earlier that month that the CIA's experts had not found any evidence of a lab accident.
Nick SortorFox says she'll cut 40% of ODNI.
@nicksortor 🚨 BREAKING: Tulsi Gabbard is set to announce she is striking nearly **50%** of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, saving taxpayers almost $700 MILLION per year Tulsi is taking a HACKSAW to the deep state! @TulsiGabbard says "ODNI 2.0" will AGGRESSIVELY refocus on its national security mission, call this "the start of a new era focused on serving our country, fulfilling our core national security mission with excellence, always grounded in the U.S. Constitution, and ensuring the safety, security, and freedom of the American people."
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced plans Wednesday to cut her agency's workforce by up to 40% in the coming weeks -- and eliminate several offices that "politicized" the flow of critical information. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence had been staffed by more than 1,800 employees when Gabbard was sworn in but is expected to retain just 1,300, while at least three offices deemed redundant will be shut down, according to senior officials. Not all of that reduction in force will come from firings, with many employees shifted to other executive branch agencies. The "core functions" of those offices -- Foreign Malign Influence Center (FMIC), National Counterproliferation and Biosecurity Center and the Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center -- will be taken up either by ODNI's Mission Integration office or the National Intelligence Council. The latter comprises the most senior intelligence analysts, who help oversee more than a dozen agencies.
ODNI officials claimed in a briefing with reporters that the FMIC had eroded civil liberties and damaged Americans' trust, particularly during the Biden administration -- and even aided big tech platforms in moving to censor speech like The Post's bombshell story on former first son Hunter Biden in October 2020. One official compared the office to the State Department's Global Engagement Center, which Secretary Marco Rubio closed down in April following similar accusations of suppressing free speech. The other two offices focused on monitoring threats involving weapons of mass destruction and cyberattacks -- both of which are handled by other existing executive branch agencies.
And about those pardons: Biden's own DOJ raised flags about "his" pardons, noting that they were overbroad, non-specific, and may not hold up in court.
An internal email that Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradley Weinsheimer sent on Jan. 18, 2025, expressed alarm over the scope and vagueness of the mass pardons. He warned that the language in one of the warrants was "highly problematic" because it lacked clarity and may have unintentionally allowed dangerous criminals to walk free. He also stated flatly that the DOJ, the very agency tasked with reviewing clemency applications, had been cut out of the loop entirely. That's not how the system is supposed to work. Presidents have the constitutional power to issue pardons, but history shows there's usually a vetting process to prevent abuses and to protect public safety. Biden's team threw that out the window. Weinsheimer specifically cautioned that the blanket wording could make some of the commutations ineffective, or worse, extend clemency to violent crimes that weren't supposed to fall under Biden's stated standards. The White House, meanwhile, ignored victims' families who pleaded against releasing certain offenders. Instead, they shoved through three massive autopen-signed warrants covering thousands of cases without so much as a second thought.And they didn't even discuss the fact that they weren't even signed or authorized by the "president."

Ah, the ol' "Ship of Theseus paradox."
If we start replacing Trump's body parts one by one, at what point does he become a different person?
If done correctly, he can serve indefinitely, as we just swap out body parts every 8 years.

The real question is whether the CIA info-hiders were withholding the CCP-Wuhan-COVID info at the direct behest of the CCP or whether they just wanted to hurt Trump. Maybe this is an "embrace the power of and" question.

July 2, 2025 poll by UC Irvine:
Among all Californians, 30% think the state is on the right track with 46% of Democrats agreeing with that assessment and only 18% of Republicans believing so. Among independents, 22% feel California is headed in the right direction.
The poll found that 60% of Californians put the state on the wrong track, including 46% of Democrats, 79% of Republicans and 64% of independents.

By not coming clean on that day he is still suppressing the facts and he didn't do it by himself, conspiracy to commit mass murder continues unabated - execute all.
Now if he were charged with the crimes against humanity thing then one could argue that the pardon covered that so it's good. But continuning to conceil the crimes the conspiracy is renewed everyday.

So, thought experiment:
He is guilty of everything we suspect he is. He is responsible not just for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of senior citizens, but dude fucking tortured puppies to death.
He is a war criminal on the order of Mengele.
So let's say Josef Mengele had gotten a pardon from Truman for operation paperclip. Would that make everything jake?

I want him to confess his crimes, name his co-conspirators, then I want someone to give him a helicopter ride. On national TV.

I'm dreaming of a Lethal Weapon type scenario where Fauci is waving his "Diplomatic Immunity Card" (or pardon card) and some Trump loyalist does the Mel Gibson part (and "revokes" the immunity).
99 red balloons were really the Covid balloons, floated out there to invoke the lockdown response ... and followed up with the deadly fake vax, school shutdowns, and all sorts of Pandora's Box dilemmas.
(but yes, actual Covid itself did kill a lot of people, but not as many as all the wrong reactions and "vax")

The wording on his pardon is pretty clear, it's effective from 2014 to the date of the pardon and covers his time at NIH and the COVID task force.
But it only covers criminal action not civil action, bring a civil action against Fauchi, Birx, and the rest of the chuckle heads, give them the process is the punishment treatment up the wazoo.

Fauci was part of the intel community. Post 9/11 he was put in charge of developing defensive and offensive policies for bio-weapons by Dick Cheney.
He did have one well publicized meeting at the CIA but I doubt he bribed them. The CIA took care of that.

Citing California's Anti-Business Lunacy, Bed Bath and Beyond Announces It Will Open No Stores In the Garbage-Fire State; Gavin Newsom Is Now Drunk-Tweeting 24/7
Before getting to that, let's review how Gavin Newsom is proving he's "the left-wing Trump who can beat the actual Trump."
He's got some monkeys running his press account, and these jokers are doing an imitation-is-the-sincerest-form-of-flattery Trump impression to show how Tough and Authentic and Manly Newsom is. This is real. Gavin Newsom ordered these communications. This one is signed with his initials, indicating that he himself wrote it. He's ragging on... Greg Gutfeld.Governor Newsom Press OfficeAnd Dana Perino:
@GovPressOffice
I SELDOM WATCH LOW-RATED "GARBAGEMAN" GREG GUTFELD BUT, WHEN I DO, I MARVEL AT THE FAKE LAUGHTER ON THE SHOW. IT SOUNDS LIKE A BAD "LAUGH MACHINE," IT'S SO OBNOXIOUS AND DISGUSTING, JUST LIKE HIM, ALWAYS LAUGHING NO MATTER WHAT IS SAID. REAL PATRIOTS HATE IT WHEN FOX ("EDITS THE TAPES") PUTS GARBAGEMAN GREG ON. FOX OUGHT TO "GET SMART", AND NOT USE LOSERS LIKE THIS. ALSO, THEY SHOULDN'T ALLOW NEGATIVE ADS ABOUT ME. THANK YOU! -- GCN
I repeat, this is real. I'm not doing a bit. The whole account is nothing but ALL-CAPS BRAGGING ABOUT NEWSOM'S "RATINGS" and stupid memes. Like this:
Governor Newsom Press Office
@GovPressOffice DANA "DING DONG" PERINO (NEVER HEARD OF HER UNTIL TODAY!) IS MELTING DOWN BECAUSE OF ME, GAVIN C. NEWSOM! FOX HATES THAT I AM AMERICA'S MOST FAVORITE GOVERNOR ("RATINGS KING") SAVING AMERICA -- WHILE TRUMP CAN'T EVEN CONQUER THE "BIG" STAIRS ON AIR FORCE ONE ANYMORE!!! TRUMP HAS "LOST HIS STEP" AND FOX IS LOSING IT BECAUSE WHEN I TYPE, AMERICA NOW WINS!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. -- GCN

UPDATE, CORRECTION, AND APOLOGY: The F-U quote was fabricated by Magills, and my apologies for mistaking it for real. Here's what Newsom's "team of pros" actually tweeted:Bonus: Gavin Newsom's press office (this twitter account) claimed that California wasn't responsible for the U-Turn Illegal Alien Killer, because Trump had given this illiterate foreign killer a work permit. Nope, the DHS's Tricia McLaughlin fired back. Trump tried to deport him, an immigration judge insisted he stay. And then Biden gave him a work permit. And the Newsom gave him the Commercial Drivers License (CDL) he was not qualified to hold.After their bankruptcy and closure of every store, like most Americans, we thought Bed, Bath & Beyond no longer existed. We wish them well in their efforts to become relevant again as they try to open a 2nd store.That amounts to the same thing, which is bad on them. But bad on me for mistaking Magills' fake screencap for the real thing.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom Press Office gets absolutely OBLITERATED by DHS’ Tricia McLaughlin after they straight-up lied, claiming the Indian illegal alien who k*lled three Americans in a semi crash got a work permit under Trump’s first term.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) topped former Vice President Kamala Harris in a hypothetical 2028 Democratic presidential primary in the Golden State, a new poll found. The survey, released Wednesday from Politico and other partners, shows Newsom in the lead in a wide field of possible contenders with 25 percent support among California Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents. Harris came in second with 19 percent, followed by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's 13 percent and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D-N.Y.) 10 percent. The other possible candidates included all received less than 5 percent, according to the results. The latest poll comes years before any votes will be cast in the next presidential election but is a marker of where opinion in the state may stand at this early stage.The poll is just of California voters. But this is a good barometer for the national Democrat electorate, they're all San Francisco Democrats now.

Trump didn't become popular because he's brash.
He became popular because he said things the people wanted said but were considered unsayable by our entire political class.
He just delivered that message brashly.
Democrats taking the brashness as the secret sauce of Trump is just the latest example of them thinking that their messaging is the problem. It's like their cursing (note: Trump doesn't curse very much).

1) counter Trump's style of destroying opponent by doing it first
2) win the male vote
Why? Because Newsome has zero black support and almost no male support. But in today's culture? This stuff infuriates his base who have zero give and no willingness to wink at some stuff to get the win

Closed down small businesses & kept corporations open
Closed down schools but his kids in a private school with no restrictions
Unleashed the National guard on Californians and allowed for less than lethal force on those who were on beaches without masks
Demanded sheriffs arrest people unmasked in stores.
Arrested 32 people including myself during a peaceful non violent protest at the Capitol
That’s a king complex.

--------
They're trying so hard to brand MAGA.
They did it once before with Jussie and the "This is MAGA country" lie - but then Trump methodically took it back and rebranded the entirety of America as MAGA and hip and beautiful and cool.
So they're trying to re-re-re-brand us. It's not going to work. Trump is doing way too much winning. They will need something else completely fake.

He's a good-looking guy that ironically makes himself less attractive by trying too hard. If he wasn't more obsessed with his hair than that Jeri Curl dude from Hollywood Shuffle, and wasn't such an oozing douchenozzle, he would be much more attractive.

Newsome is trying really hard to do two things:
1) counter Trump's style of destroying opponent by doing it first
2) win the male vote
Why? Because Newsome has zero black support and almost no male support. But in today's culture? This stuff infuriates his base who have zero give and no willingness to wink at some stuff to get the win
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at August 20, 2025 03:29 PM (dfIr7)
That's why Shawn Ryan gifted him a SIG P320 on his podcast after Gov Brylcreme tried to assert that he didn't want to take people's guns away. Then he crashed and burned by joking that Ryan was trying to get him in trouble with TSA. Proving that Newsome hasn't the slightest clue about how CA and Fed gun laws work.

I would be concerned that the Dems would perfect this strategy with another candidate (AOC?) and be more effective, but I can't think of one competent Dem rival to Trump right now. If they have no record of legislative or policy success, they can try all the insults in the world, and it won't work against GEOTUS. Besides, it isn't even authentic. Gavin is scum in his personal life, but his public persona is not consistent with this Insult Dog line of attack. It would fit better with Rahm Emanuel, but he isn't as profane as Gavin's X responses reflect, so it won't fly with him either.

Newsom is absolutely a sociopath. The man can cheat on his wife by sleeping with his campaign manager's (and best friend at the time's) wife and lie with a straight face afterwards. He's worse than Bill Clinton in that regard. He will say anything - and I mean anything - to look good in front of any crowd he's put in front of without a hint of shame or guilt.
I'm just shocked that there are no Dems behind the scenes - who know this just as well as we do - that will say this, even off the record.

No. This is the entire point of propaganda. To make the enemy appear far larger than it is. Conversely their aim is also to demoralize and isolate their enemy, to make him believe everything is hopeless and they are all pervasive and omnipotent. The Press, and schools, and Hollywood is part and oarcel of this “strategic bombing survey”. They have been wildly successful in cultivating a “50/50” country perception. It isn’t even close, and never has been.
That’s why they are REALLY freaked out right now.

I'm very interested to see what politics on social looks like after Trump leaves the scene. It's hard to strike a balance that is effective, yet authentic to the user. AOC, I guess, is OK at it. Vance is a natural. No one is like Trump - and they shouldn't even try.

So her friend was understandably speechless when she suddenly started cursing and shouting at the sight of a CA license plate in our small Appalachian town.
"I'm sorry," she said, "but you can just can't understand what it's like until they have you surrounded! They're coming here now!"
That's how people outside of California see California, and Newsome's increasingly bizarre behavior won't help that perception.

The Democrat Party being fake, gay, and actively antagonistic to young men is going to be a dominant narrative for a few years, and no amount of Gavin Newsom tweeting is going to change that.
Covid and then open borders did a lot of damage on top of the general gynofication of the party that prioritized screeching women over anyone else.

agree. GN is solid and has led a huge state successfully. He seems to be out in front instead of waiting for the structureless DNC to act which is a good thing.
He is so good at trolling MAGA. I'm worried about escalation just because my heart has been broken so many times, but this Newsom fella' is really entertaining.
It's childish and that's the point, it's total satire which of course Trump doesn't get but it helps fire up people who hate the GOP. In other words he's doing exactly what Trump does to MAGA.
Has Trump made a stupid post since the trolling started? I think he's stunned.
Newsom oozes charisma. At least towards the classier people. Trump is charismatic only to those at the bottom of the barrel, right? To the rest of us, Trump is just hideously repugnant.
This shit's fun but it does NOTHING for Dems who are running shoe string campaigns fighting to win in '26. It's beginning to become as childish as FatAss's shit. It's not going to get my utility bills down.

Presidential ambitions 2.5 years out from the start of the primary are all driven by the overly engaged, especially in today's, perennially online world.
The movements of names in polls from week to week are more about the untethered whims of people latching onto the latest news cycle and demanding pollsters listen to them. (Response bias is a real thing that affects polling a lot.)
Cory Booker was gonna be the nominee like 2 months ago because he did a filibuster.

I don't think voters come into the equation. Every blue state has corrupt and fraudulent elections along with rigging races through legal and illegal means. Democrats have given up on their New Deal size majorities returning so they simply cheat and rig elections to grift and destroy our Republic from within.

Increasingly guys that match up online with those filtered dolls just leave dates when the filtered online doll does not match the person IRL.

Trump Launches Investigation Into DC's Faking of Crime Statistics
This is fraud. This might even be a "conspiracy to defraud the American people," a charge used to jail J6 protesters for "parading." Lock. Them. Up. And make them rat on the higher-level Democrats who told them to fake the stats.
Just weeks before President Donald Trump announced a federal takeover of the Washington, D.C. police, the Metropolitan Police Department quietly settled a retaliation lawsuit from a whistleblower who alleged the crime statistics were manipulated. The lawsuit, which has been part of public court records for years, has garnered renewed attention as part of a growing body of evidence that the city of Washington, D.C. may have a more widespread crime problem than official statistics would suggest. The president's political opponents and city leadership cited those official numbers, which show an approximately 30% decline in violent crime since 2023, as evidence that the federal takeover was unnecessary. However, both the whistleblower lawsuit and the ongoing disciplinary proceedings of a suspended captain accused of manipulating statistics have called those numbers into question. President Trump accused the city of providing false crime statistics to improve its image and to give a "false illusion of safety." He also seemed to confirm that the Metropolitan Police Department and city government will be investigated over the allegations. "D.C. gave Fake Crime numbers in order to create a false illusion of safety. This is a very bad and dangerous thing to do, and they are under serious investigation for so doing!" Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday.
Whistleblower filed suit ... Sergeant Charlotte Djossou, a 20-year veteran of the Metropolitan Police Department, filed a lawsuit against the department and the city in 2020, alleging she was subject to retaliation from leadership after blowing the whistle on several department policies. According to her official complaint, the army veteran and police sergeant filed reports for years about practices at the department from 2014 to the time of her lawsuit, including allegations of improper--and possibly unconstitutional--searches, racial targeting, and improper reclassification of crimes to improve performance metrics. Djossou asserted that senior officers often manipulated crime statistics in their own districts because improving performance on the metrics is directly linked to promotion potential and suggested the issue was widespread in the department. "MPD has a long history of trying to distort crime statistics in Washington, D.C., including downgrading felonies to misdemeanors," Sergeant Djossou, claimed in her October 2020 complaint. Responding to directives from senior leadership "to show the largest reduction in crime statistics," Djossou says "MPD improperly reduced crime statistics by downgrading a number of felonies to misdemeanors, so that there will be "fewer" felonies in the statistics." This happened for one reason, the sergeant claimed. "The promotions of MPD captains and commanders are tied to the size of the reduction in crime statistics in their districts." In mid-2019, Sergeant Djossou first observed MPD officers classifying felony thefts as misdemeanors. Despite express directives from higher authorities earlier that year that any theft involving stolen goods valued more than $25 should be classified as felonies, Djossou said captains and officers downgraded felony thefts that could not be solved as misdemeanors. "The result is that felony thefts were now being recorded as misdemeanors, solely because the theft could not be solved, regardless of the dollar value of what was stolen," Djossou's lawsuit reads. Djossou brought her observations to a commander, which resulted in the reversal of over 100 misclassifications back to felonies. The sergeant alleges that she faced retaliation for her disclosures soon after by means of a poor performance evaluation, the court documents show.

1. DC is a Federal District and Trump can take control.
2. The overwhelming majority of violent crimes committed in those other Dem cities are committed by black and brown people.
These people are the dumbest people in the history of mankind.

1.) Auto theft is much worse than they are admitting, and
B.) They are only admitting the auto theft problem is bad to divert attention from the much bigger lies they are telling about all other forms of crime... "see, auto theft is a problem, but on the whole, this is a pretty safe city."

That's because it's not what he said. He said "outlaw" not alienate. And this is 2017 mind you.
--------
He has used the recent London terrorist attack to urge Americans to support Mr Trump's travel ban on six majority Muslim countries and claims it "might stop" the next jihadi attack on a major city.
But when asked if he agreed with Ms Hanson that Islam was a "disease" that nations need to "vaccinate" against, he said if we outlawed the entire religion, we will lose.
"I've long taken the view we should be deeply intolerant of sharia law," he said.
"But I've also long taken the view that if you go down the route of say Geert Wilders in The Netherlands, who says he wants in that country for all the mosques to be closed for the Quran to be banned and for an entire religion to be outlawed, then we will lose.
"We have got to try to get [moderate Muslims] on our side."

Developers run local governments and always want to hush up things that might throw a monkey wrench into development plans.
The death of local newspapers, radio, etc. also means that when crime occurs, it has to be severe before reported as isolated instances.

A secret gay sex scandal has rocked the Republican Party as married men and a sitting member of Congress have been accused of sleeping with male escorts — even as their party thunders about traditional family values.
In candid interviews, young, muscular sex workers in Washington DC described a booming business fueled by Republican officials, from state lawmakers and high-powered lobbyists to federal government staffers and at least one congressman.
The revelations come as the GOP faces renewed scrutiny over its hypocrisy on homosexuality — publicly championing the traditional nuclear family while privately indulging in the very behavior many Republicans denounce.
One DC-based male escort described having a two-year relationship with a sitting Midwestern congressman who, during that period, had multiple serious girlfriends.
The 29-year-old sex worker with 'boy next door looks' described dinners at downtown DC eatery Butterworth's — a popular MAGA haunt — followed by 'late nights,' he told the Daily Mail, on the condition that neither man was identified...

Again, look at Denver. They've gone full Soviet and refuse to report about the crime officially or through local media. "EVERYTHING IS AWESOME, COMRADE" is all you ever hear from the media there.
So a group of people there started reporting on it through X, and the Mayor ordered a secret investigation of the account. The police union got pissed and leaked about that. So the investigation stopped.
So then, the Denver Post (which is paid millions annually by the DPD in "rent" for office space in their little used building) ran a hit piece doxxing everyone they could identify who was associated with it.
It's how they roll.

We will see. Certainly far superior than Reagan on domestic issues. His foreign policy challenges though are far different than Reagan's who focused on winning the Cold War.
Trump has multilateral issues in trade, ending wars, and backing down a rogue China. Neither Reagan nor Trump are particularly gungho about sending our troops overseas to be bloodied for no reason. I hope Trump keeps our troops out of Ukraine in any peace settlement as well--Reagan's deployment of troops to Lebanon to save the frigging PLO resulted in a debacle.

There isn't any amount of money that you could pay me to do that. The VA had to shut down our Veterans Assistance Center where Vets go to get referral help for PTSD, homelessness, addiction, etc. because the crime rate is so bad in broad daylight, 7 days a week, that it is not safe for even a combat veteran to go there. Now they have a phone number to call which is better than nothing but does n's replace a face to face interaction that they would get with a human.

You’re the problem - for noticing. “We Fucked Up. Therefore You Must Be Punished”
The classic example in less than recent US history, though maybe the most far reaching, was the treatment of Senator McCarthy and crew. A complete and utter campaign ensued to destroy him. The investigations were hijacked not to investigate the well documented allegations that communists had infiltrated the highest levels of government and manipulated US foreign policy toward (Russia, China, Korea, Yugoslavia) the communists, instead they were deployed against anyone who was raising awareness.

He was already eyeing the governor's mansion even back then, MOVE had repeatedly embarrassed him, and he decided to show them who was boss by torching a working class neighborhood to the ground and letting Goode take the heat for it.
Rendell was always a real psychotic flavor of scumbag.

Badenoch is not particularly inspiring for that line of thought. I know you know this but for others--Being an MP for a district often has little actual relationship with the actual district that a MP is representing.
Party governance and party lists are how the PM/Whip control the party--good apparatchiks get the sure safe seats, outliers get thrown to the marginal or hopeless constituencies.

When I was in Spain, I saw a group of tourists sitting at a table on the sidewalk. Some filthy scumbag ran by and grabbed their camera off the table (big no-no to leave cameras on tables like that). Scumbag got about 15 feet when he ran into one guy from that group who was coming back to the table. Guy recognized what was going on. Clothes-lined the fuck out of the scumbag. Then grabbed the camera back from the scumbag's quivering body on the ground. Continued back to the table.

Most of Euroland is parliamentary voting without primaries. So party lists by leaders determines who gets to run in what constituency. Then you have proportional representation which is even more divorced from actual geographic constituency representation. In those nations, party leaders have a ranked list and those that get seats are above the proportional cut off line--e.g. your party gets 6 percent of the vote, you get 6 percent of your rank order party list as members of a Parliament.
There are also some hybrid but first past the post single member districts picked through popular primaries are rare outside of the US.
US political parties are more for branding and fund raising consortiums than ideological which is why the Uniparty usually holds sway until it fails either a catastrophe like the ACW or one party fades away like the Federalists.

Yeah, but that's true anytime you lose weight. Bodybuilders take trenbolone and other drugs to prevent muscle loss on a cut, and they're working out the whole time. If you're losing tens of pounds and aren't lifting heavy weights, you're going to lose lots of muscle. I'd be very surprised if muscle loss on Ozempic is worse than muscle loss when losing weight naturally.

Nope. He's just a sterotypical high functioning autist who is great at tech and computers but doesn't understand squat about people, or about his own emotions for that matter. So he had an autistic temper tantrum and stomped and shouted and promised to hold his breath until he turned blue, but after a couple of months he realized no one was paying much attention to him anymore, so he flipped a switch in his head and said "ok never mind, let's just all act like that never happened."

"Operation Raise the Colours:" British Citizens Protest the Colonization of Their Country by Hostile Aliens by Raising the English Flag
Rebels, subversives, and traitors fly (checks notes)
their own country's flag in defiance of the government
In the UK, which is already lost, the subjugated population is attempting one last act of defiance before they are put under Sharia law. Actually-English citizens are flying the English flag -- the St. George's flag, white with a red cross, officially disfavored by the UK government because they don't like Englanders thinking of themselves as English -- while the UK police take the flags down. They're flying St. George's cross as part of "Operation Raise the Colours."
In recent days, from Birmingham to Tower Hamlets, ordinary British and English people have, seemingly spontaneously, started to raise Union Jack and St George's flags on lampposts and buildings. Some have even painted flags on roundabouts. The campaign started last week when it was revealed flags of St George and the Union had started to spring up in neighbourhoods in Birmingham, in what the local people taking part described as "a patriotic outpouring". Local residents even set up a GoFundMe website to help purchase more flags and support the displays. Shortly afterwards, however, local council workers quickly began taking down the flags, arguing the "unauthorised items" were "dangerous", on the basis they might distract and even kill passing motorists and pedestrians. Yet many, understandably, see glaring hypocrisy. While the Labour-run council in highly-diverse Birmingham is now rushing to take down English and Union flags, it has left Palestinian flags flying for months (for its part, in what is another depressing insight into the dire state of modern Britain, the council says it needs police protection to remove Palestine flags in Muslim areas). At the same time, Birmingham council is pulling down Union Jack and St George's flags while seemingly having no issue lighting the taxpayer-funded library building in green and white to celebrate the independence of ... Pakistan. All of which helps to explain why, unsurprisingly, some locals have started to rebel by joining the "raise the colours" campaign. And nor are they alone. In similarly diverse Tower Hamlets, in east London, residents have also been spotted raising flags on lampposts, while the local council, run by the pro-Gaza Aspire Party which has also left Palestine flags flying for months, just vowed to remove any English and British flags "as soon as possible". Yet things seem to be spiralling. Social media is currently filled with viral pictures and videos of seemingly ordinary people --builders, workers, citizens--going to great lengths to "raise the colours", suggesting this campaign may yet gain momentum and, perhaps, go national. What is going on? On one level, this is very clearly a spontaneous and organic act of resistance against what we have often talked about in this newsletter --the ongoing and very extreme policies of mass uncontrolled immigration, broken borders, and housing illegal migrants in the heart of Britain's communities while forcing the British people to pay billions for the privilege and then using their own money to rig the housing market so that it favours illegal migrants and asylum-seekers over the British people. As one local resident of Birmingham remarked, people in the area have simply "had enough". "This isn't racism", they went on, "it's frustration at being pushed into a corner and silenced". But this is also clearly about something else, something deeper. And to make sense of it it's worth returning to conservative philosopher Sir Roger Scruton. "The English", Scruton once said, "are reluctant to display their identity -- reluctant to sing their national anthem, to wave their flag, or to affirm their nationhood". What he meant is that the English have long had a very uneasy relationship with national symbols, even feeling embarrassed about the kind of displays of national pride that would appear entirely ordinary in, say, America. A combination of post-imperial guilt, mass immigration, a model of multiculturalism that prioritises minorities over the majority, and the rise of a so-called 'progressive' elite have all established a taboo around flags, discouraging people from raising them. But Scruton, rightly, saw this as a bad thing for British society and the future. He warned that the taboo around national symbols and flying the flag deprived the British and the English of something that could be incredibly powerful and precious. Such displays, he argued, were not merely symbols of exclusion, as elites argue, but could become a powerful, unifying emblem of a shared identity, a shared sense of history and collective memory, and a shared way of life. A flag, in other words, is not just a symbol; it is where the individual connects with their collective cultural inheritance. It is where the individual can locate themselves in something greater which they also, in turn, recognise as their home. Without this, warned Scruton, nations will soon run into major problems. The reluctance to fly the flag in England, he suggested, brought with it huge costs, including what he described as "the steady erosion of something precious --a shared first-person plural", or, in other words, a shared sense of "we". With no sense of shared identity or culture, and few symbols to give expression to this, Scruton warned that the British and the English would soon be left vulnerable to endless, ongoing cultural fragmentation and rootlessness, no longer sure who they are, where they belong, or what is 'home'. Which is how, I would suggest, millions of people on these islands are starting to feel, if they do not feel this way already. Bombarded by mass immigration. Appalled by open borders. Angered and frustrated by a ruling class and a 'two-tier' society that puts minorities ahead of the majority. And utterly demoralised by a political system that is mainstreaming Lebanon-style sectarianism, from pandering to Islamism to Labour MPs showing more interest in Pakistan than Britain, many people can now feel that sense of "we" evaporating. Furthermore, as reflected in the response of Birmingham and Tower Hamlets councils, or the school in Rugby that turned away a schoolgirl who wore a Union Jack dress to a 'Culture Day', many British and English people are now also starting to grasp the extent to which their leaders are invested in rejecting, repudiating, or suppressing their identity, history, and culture --what Scruton called "Oikophobia".Alex Jones noted that if it's illegal to raise your own country's flag, that means you're now living in an occupied country. Keir Starmer is pretending he supports "patriotism." (Note that it's local Labour councils, not the national government, taking down the flags.) He doesn't actually support people's flying of the English colors. But he knows the peasants are in a touchy mood, and is pretending he's on their side.

Israel Considers Military Recruitment Inside USA As Soldier S
by Tyler Durden
Amid an enduring soldier shortage, and as an all-out occupation of Gaza looms, the Israel Defense Forces are considering a campaign to recruit soldiers from Jewish populations living in the United States and other countries around the world.
According to Israeli Army Radio, a state media outlet, Israel may mount an effort to recruit 600 to 700 Jews a year from the diaspora, a term referring to Jews living somewhere other than Israel. At first, Israel would concentrate its effort in the United States and France, the countries with the two largest Jewish populations, at roughly 6 million and 450,000, respectively.

CRITICAL REFORMS NEEDED IN THE
FIRST 100 DAYS:
Freeze Non-Essential Immigration
Strict limits on immigration are the only way to
relieve the pressure on our housing, public services,
increase wages and protect our culture, identity and
values. Essential skills, mainly around healthcare,
must be the only exception.
Stop the Boats with our 4 Point Plan
Leave the European Convention on Human Rights.
Zero illegal immigrants to be resettled in the UK.
New Department of Immigration. Pick up illegal
migrants out of boats and take them back to France.
Secure Detention for all Illegal Migrants
All asylum seekers that arrive illegally from safe
countries will be processed rapidly, offshore if
necessary. Those entering from a safe country will
also be barred from claiming asylum or citizenship.
No legal aid for non-citizens. Those rejected will be returned.

Muslims are primarily an urban population there and about 7-8 percent. The others are blacks and non Muslim people from India. White native population is about 80 percent or so last census. With a number of East Euros etc. living there making up the rest of the Caucasian population.
Media and infotainment focuses on urban areas like in the US but that leads to a distorted sense of demographics. Watching US tv will lead people to overestimate gay, black, and other populations for example.

We fought and won a two front industrial war with a population of 135M. It there is some particular person we need, Congress can naturalize that person by legislation.
H1Bs were sold to the public on the notion it would allow American businesses to hire elite experts in specific fields from abroad.
Instead its mostly being used to hire junior software developers which the tech companies could train. And we know they could because they used to do so...

Israel began calling up around 60,000 reservists Wednesday ahead of a planned offensive in Gaza City. An army spokesperson said the goal is to take control of the city and displace its population.
Another 20,000 troops are expected to be called up in the coming days. Officials say the total number of reservists could reach up to 130,000, drafted in three phases. Many will see their service extended, and additional active-duty forces are likely to be deployed.

Don't expect reactive politicians to lead, ever.
Reform is populated by reactive politicians except for Farage who was proactive on one thing: Brexit.
At best, Reform will change to follow the people. Considering the history of British politics where the parties have been outright hostile to popular sentiment for decades, color me skeptical that Reform will be any different. Empty promises and then backstabbing is just British politics.
And they're not even giving the empty promises now.

Part of the issue is funding. Established parties have their globo homo corporate City of London/oligarch funding and probably back door government funding as well like US AID.
Part of it is that you get infiltrators from the Tory party out to kill the new one, and then you get the desire to not be punished by state run or influenced media of newspapers and TV.
For example, the Murdoch family over there ran Sky News (until 2018--now owned by Comcast Universal) as the 'safe' loyal opposition to the BBC propaganda ministry.
Same family also owns the Times and the Sun and formerly the News of the World.

Is three folk singers in a pub near Wells
Well, I've got a vision of urban sprawl
There's pubs where no one ever sings at all
And everyone stares at a great big screen
Overpaid soccer stars, prancing teens
Australian soap, American rap
Estuary English, baseball caps
And we learn to be ashamed before we walk
Of the way we look and the way we talk
Without our stories or our songs
How will we know where we come from?
I've lost St. George in the Union Jack
It's my flag too and I want it back
Haul away boys, let them go
Out in the wind and the rain and snow
We've lost more than we'll ever know
'Round the rocky shores of England

Facts not in evidence. In fact, the Founders debated whether or not to allow Rogue Island into the new Constitution due to its post Revolutionary war governance.
The main drive for a Bill of Rights came from Mass and Virginia. And Hamilton was responsible for dragging New York's convention into acceptance despite opposition by the state powers that be.
During the Revolution itself, Rhode Island was a backwater notable mainly for the French and American defeat at Newport

The State Department Has Revoked Another 6,000 "Student" Visas for Crime and Supporting Terrorism
The State Department has yanked more than 6,000 student visas in 2025 for overstays and law violations -- including support for terrorism, Fox News Digital has learned. The Trump administration has launched multiple initiatives aimed at cracking down on immigration and revoking visas of those attending academic institutions in the U.S. Those who've participated in pro-Palestinian protests have faced heightened scrutiny, as one example, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in May that the administration was reviewing the visa status of those students. The roughly 6,000 visas that were pulled were primarily due to visa overstays or encounters with the law, including assault, DUIs, burglary and support for terrorism, the State Department told Fox News Digital. "Every single student visa revoked under the Trump Administration has happened because the individual has either broken the law or expressed support for terrorism while in the United States," a senior State Department official said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "About 4,000 visas alone have been revoked because these visitors broke the law while visiting our country, including records of assault and DUIs."The Democrat Party, the Party of Foreign Terrorists, objects, claiming that foreigners have some kind of right to come to America to raise money for Hamas and that taking away their visa is a denial of due process. Communists are objecting to the USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Service) now looking at applicants' social media history to determine if they're anti-American, pro-terrorist, or criminally-inclined. They seriously believe that criminals and terrorists have a right to come to America just because they're f***ing foreign and therefore superior to American citizens.
Those who had their student visas yanked due to assault -- roughly 800 students -- either faced arrest or charges stemming from assault, according to the State Department official. Those whose visas were pulled due to support for terrorism -- between 200 people to 300 people -- engaged in behavior such as raising funds for the militant group Hamas, which the U.S. State Department has designated as a terrorist organization, the official said. Altogether, the State Department told Fox News Digital that approximately 40,000 visas have been pulled in 2025, in comparison to the 16,000 that were revoked during the same time frame under the Biden administration.
"Even if the previous administration was doing less, they were still revoking visas," the State Department official said. "It's not something that just started on January 20 ... So this has happened for years." Rubio told lawmakers in May that he estimated "thousands" of student visas had been rescinded since January. "I don't know the latest count, but we probably have more to do," Rubio told lawmakers on the Senate appropriations subcommittee overseeing foreign affairs May 20. "We're going to continue to revoke the visas of people who are here as guests and are disrupting our higher education facilities."
NEW: McCarthyism returns to immigration law, as @USCIS announces that it will begin screening applicants for immigration benefits for "Anti-America ideologies or activities." The term has no prior precedent in immigration law and its definition is entirely up to the Trump admin. pic.twitter.com/4uUzlOtmIe

I just don't see any moderation happening ever until the party is driven from power.
Way too many nuts, and trying to form some kind of unofficial coalition with a minor party just to get a moderate PM could just outright blow things up.
Maybe Starmer goes, but his replacement will be more likely to be a Somali warlord than someone "moderate" like Tony Blair.
It's a party of Muslims, Africans, and Trigglypuffs. The same as here in the US.

Not bad at all! Stories like this post are so f-ing encouraging. I always knew immigration was a huge problem, but it wasn't until we started WINNING that it became evident to me how the issue spreads across so many other issues - voting, apportionment, education, safety, etc. Winning this issue will have a ripple effect, I think, on other important issues.

Official statement
Beyond, Inc. (NYSE:BYON) has issued the following statement from Marcus Lemonis, Executive Chairman of Bed Bath & Beyond:
We will not open or operate retail stores in California.
This decision isn’t about politics — it’s about reality. California has created one of the most overregulated, expensive, and risky environments for businesses in America. It’s a system that makes it harder to employ people, harder to keep doors open, and harder to deliver value to customers.
The result? Higher taxes, higher fees, higher wages that many businesses simply cannot sustain, and endless regulations that strangle growth...

Many women have proven amazingly easy to manipulate with ads and propaganda, even more so than men. The "you have to go to college to get a good job and get rich and all the stuff you want and make yourself powerful and independent" got deep into female consciousness.
Men have figured out that college is a huge waste of money for most people and worse, is deeply hostile to them simply for being male.

Years ago we got an Uber from the airport. The mild-mannered young man driving was fluent in English. He said he was from Palestine, and told us the Israelis had killed his girlfriend there by machine-gunning her from a helicopter. The supposed loss of his girlfriend didn't appear to affect him.
He drove at a moderate speed in the highway fast lane, oblivious to the cars stacked up behind him honking their horns or angrily zooming around him. He was unaware that it was the passing lane, and said he found it agreeable to drive there.

Visas are entirely, by statute, at the whim of the Secretary of State who has very wide latitude, including for national security reasons, to deny and revoke visas.
People think we need laws because the government simply stopped enforcing laws.
These laws have been on the books since visa classes were written down.

You *do not* want a fire aboard.
If a fire breaks out, you want to put it out *toot suite*.
There's a reason the 2000 hrs report to the Captain includes the line "All cooking fires are out."

There is a huge cultural push to get women in college (and STEM especially). It used to be a good spot for young women to find a husband ("getting their MRS degree") so women would go largely to get a college-educated guy and get to know them without dating in the usual sense. Honestly, a better system than most.
Now the push in every single medium is for young women to go to college to get a degree and they don't need no man.

1) it made it easier to revoke the visas of others, and
2) it was always going to be a losing battle. I mean, FFS, the visa holder has no "right" to a visa. No matter how many left-wing clown judges yell otherwise.

I am tired Budy week and home to have lunch. I did a very nice experience at the post office, though . The Post Mistress on a break in the little post office in the town where the church is was reading Georgette Heyer, who was an English romance writer of some decades ago. No; no they are not like "bodice rippers " of today. They are full of witty, intelligent people from the time period of the Regency , and the most sexy thing might be a kiss. Siome of the ladies who post here or did like Georgette Heyer. The Post Mistress has now read all her books
.
Last time the post mistress was reading a book it was Jane Austen. It is nice to find someone reading books which I enjoy. She has read all of Jane Austen since a friend of her recommended her. This like having a literary friendship.

The Kentucky judge who was shot by a sheriff is accused of having s*x with inmates from the jail in exchange for more lenient sentences.
"I was part of it. I was one of them," said accuser Tya Adams.
Judge Kevin Mullins was shot at a courthouse, allegedly by Letcher County Sheriff Shawn 'Mickey' Stines, back in September.
Stines and Mullins knew each other for years. On the day of the incident, the two men, along with some others, had lunch together.
After lunch, Stines asked if he and Mullins should meet privately, which is when the incident occurred.
Stines is currently awaiting trial. He pleaded not guilty to one count of m*rder.

She had been seeing an Oncologist in Plano, Tx that even the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston referred patients to him. After two years, the chemotherapy is no longer working. Actually, it was doing more harm than good. The oncologist wanted to pause it for a couple of weeks to let her body try to heal from the effects of the chemo. We put her on Hospice on Friday, August 1st, 2025.
We thought we'd have more time, but God had other plans. I guess our infant granddaughter needed her grandmother more.

I feel like I need to clean house here so:
Trump is not a hero.
The Butler assassination was certainly staged (I don't claim to know by who) to make Trump appear like he was saved by God and guarantee more people voting for him.
Even though the Predator Class wants people to vote so they give their moral and spiritual support for this evil system, the elections have always been rigged and 2020 was nothing special.
The lawfare and hate from the media was also done by design to build up sympathy for him so people think he is fighting the deep state while he literally works with the people behind the deep state.
Trump is not going to save America. He is an authoritarian working with Technocrats to bring about the American Technate under the guise of the "Golden Age of America".
No, it wouldn't be better with Kamala/Biden necessarily, but, yes, lots of conservatives and right wingers and MAGA are pacified now because "Daddy's" in the White House and they think there's no more work to be done. These folks are making excuses for things Trump does while full well knowing they would call it out if it was "the other side"...

There is a building groundswell of frustration and anger at judges and how the judicial system has been turned into a tool for the radical left. Where that will build to is a matter of some speculation but if it keeps growing, a clash is inevitable.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at August 20, 2025 12:41 PM (dfIr7)
======
Groundswell doesn't matter when the DOJ is still just following the appeals process all the time, and the appeals process keeps backing the DOJ up.
And I don't see a groundswell. I see sudden upticks in frustration that go away once the newest little wrinkle is out of the news fifteen minutes later.
And those wrinkles are becoming fewer and further between. What we're mostly seeing is the remnants of suits filed months ago that are just steadily dying out while we're also getting final judgements on things like...Trump having the power to fire CFPB personnel like what happened last week in the DC Circuit.

Huge scandal for decades. Recall many or most of the 9/11/2001 hijackers were “Visa Overstays”.
I think it is an administrative thing, but they are called “Absconders” or something like that, when the government claims have no idea where they are. Of course they can track a cow from calf to hamburger on the shelf for recall purposes, though humans are impossible to monitor. That’s just how it is.
There were several hundred thousand absconders, and that was 20 years ago. My first inkling that out government wasn’t serious about anything was realizing millions of illegals pouring across the border unmonitored made a mockery of public health, immunizations. We have a system where the “natives” are harassed endlessly, but foreign invaders are allowed to do anything, at least up until they kill someone. This too, is our fault, somehow.

No it makes perfect sense. The shooter intentionally shot behind Trump, into the crowd to cause casualties. So you know he was using real bullets. However, Trump had a minute explosive device attached to the back of his earlobe that he exploded making it look like he was actually shot. QED.

I don't find fake shit entertaining whether it is reddit or some social media ponce pontificating or the endless waves of butthurt trolls on websites leaning to the right like Disqus or polluting normal discussion boards having little to do with politics.
The paid asshole influencer agitator crap is always transparent and always directed toward against fixing problems because either a) they claim they have a superior yet undisclosed solution or b) nothing will ever change and we are all defeated type of bullshit.
The depressed blackpillers are bad enough--the paid bandwagon shitheads are simply pollutants that need banhammering asap. As do the people that bring those turds here under the guise of information (because it is so important to know what rando assholes on the internet think about something).
One of the reasons I never cared for Tucker way back when he was on Crossfire--he always seemed fake and gay to me for pay. And events since then re-confirm my initial opinion of him time and again.

It won't survive appeal.
None of these clown judge rulings will.
No matter how much the robed hacks spittle on with grand proclamations of fealty to the Constitution, dressing their opinions in Emperor's Clothes, citing the First Amendment.
It ain't a First Amendment issue.
It has nothing to do with due process.
It's immigration and the Executive has broad plenary power to do whatever the fuck it wants when it comes to these visas.
I mean, Rubio could flat-out say: I'm revoking his visa for his speech--he talks like a fag and his shit's all retarded.
And there isn't anything the law and the courts can do against it--it simply isn't a right the visa-holder enjoys as a permissive resident of the United States.

What makes me lean that way is that the press all were tipped to show up to this kind of small event unlike most of Trumps other campaign events, and the Secret Service was even more incompetent than usual, and intentionally did not work with local law enforcement. Then there's the repeated ignoring of multiple warnings of a guy on the roof of a building with a rifle.
I think that they knew something was likely to happen, put their worst, lowest end people on it, and told the press that something exciting might happen that day.

Trump guaranteed that while US planes may patrol skies in a post peace security deal, no troops will be stationed on the ground.
“You have my assurance, and I’m President,” Trump confirmed.
“There will be some form of security. It can’t be NATO because that’s just not something that would ever, ever happen, it couldn’t,” Trump further outlined.
“When it comes to security [the Europeans are] willing to put people on the ground, we’re willing to help them with things, especially… by air because nobody has the kind of stuff we have,” he asserted.

Trump has this tic of pretending stuff is not known to him, asking questions about it and then letting it drop.
The Crooks stuff is obviously known and at a time of maximum impact it will come out. Trump has been carefully timing things to roll out in a continuous way through Election Day. It will completely wipe out the Dems' media plan.

A Las Vegas Breakfast sandwich at Dunkin Donuts, apparently in Cesar's Palace, is $13.99. The same thing in other states is around $4.29 - 4.49. Regular drip coffee: $6.99, an XL is $8.99.
This is the difference between a Dunkin Donuts egg sandwich pricing in Vegas vs the rest of the country
A video showed an empty store during breakfast hours.
Hotels like Ceasers are in so much debt their interest payments have been as high as $6.5 million PER DAY, now averaging $2.36 million per day just in interest payments

Corporate debt is a major issue in enshittification and financialization of the US economy. Fair tax treatment would be allowing corporate deductions for dividends and disallowing it for debt incurred buying and destroying rivals/stock buybacks.
Preferred and common stock based on dividends in the end is healthier than one based on incurring debt for M&A or stock buyback activity.

Wednesday Morning Rant
Delete old emails and pictures as data centres require vast amounts of water to cool their systems.Hilariously, this insane recommendation is in the section titled, "How To Save Water At Home." Last time I checked, I don't live in a datacenter. But even setting that aside, this is one of the most laughable recommendations I have ever seen. Even if it was enough water to make a difference in a drought, this would save not one drop.
Datacenter capacity exists. It's already built. The water cooling system - if the equipment is water cooled, which it often is - is already deployed. The only way that cooling system can use less water than it does today is if it either gets smaller (e.g., equipment is shut down and the cooling loops servicing it are drained) or if it gets more efficient so it needs less water to keep it cool (that is, it's replaced). It would take a truly staggering reduction in data consumption to result in shutdowns of that much equipment and it would probably just sit there idle for a while since it's already paid for and the owners will find a use for it.
But even that were to happen, it's still a stupid recommendation. First, most data aren't personal data anymore. Everyone's personal photos and E-Mails are a drop in the bucket compared to AI datasets and other large commercial data consumers. But set aside the laughable absurdity and the depth of the misunderstanding this recommendation reflects. Pretend it could matter. If we all get together and delete our family photos, we can shutter a couple of datacenters and avoid the water consumption. How much difference would it make? Not much. First, "water-cooled" datacenters only use some water. "Liquid-cooled" is probably more accurate. Large-scale datacenter cooling loops have water and (usually) a lot of glycol, along with various additives and biocides. Exact ratios are usually trade secrets, but there is a fair amount of non-water in a "water-cooled" datacenter. But again, let's pretend there isn't. It's all water straight from the tap. How much water are we talking about? Again, it's hard to say. It isn't one size fits all. But let's take an extreme case. The US Department of Energy's "El Capitan" supercomputer at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is the fastest system in the world, and came online late last year. It uses an elaborate - and big - water cooling system that requires, according to PC Magazine, nine million gallons of water "per day." That's how much cycles through it per day, not it's daily consumption or the size of its reservoir. These are closed systems. There are always losses - leaks, evaporation, etc. - but water doesn't just flow through the datacenter on its way down the drain. So let's make some very bad assumptions. Let's assume that "El Capitan" has a nine million gallon reservoir, and that reservoir gets fully consumed over the course of a year. So that would mean that the datacenter requires nine million gallons of water per year to run - certainly overstating it, probably by at least an order of magnitude. Your average four-member British household uses 450 liters of water per day, which comes out to about 43,224 gallons per year. The nine million gallons that would be saved by shutting down the datacenter that holds the world's most powerful supercomputer would save the equivalent of about 208 average four-person households. Even if you can completely shutter a dozen "El Capitan"-sized datacenters thanks to deleting your pictures and E-Mails, you're saving much less water than a neighborhood in London uses up in a year. It's one of the most laughably stupid things I have seen in a long time. It exposes the fundamental misunderstanding of policymakers. They don't know how anything works. Datacenter water usage, in aggregate, is non-trivial but encouraging people to delete their E-Mails and photos would do precisely nothing to curtail it, anyway. That stuff is small change in a world where AI is a thing. The only thing this recommendation is good for is a hearty laugh. Or deep contempt because no matter what, bureaucrats always find a way to recommend something you'll hate that also happens to be pointless. I'm used to my own government publishing insane nonsense like this, so it's almost refreshing to see it come from somewhere else this time.Comments

For most people, in this situation, they assume it means "consumes." That is, those 9 million gallons "per day" are something used up and lost, requiring a whole other 9 million the next day. As you point out, that isn't the case.
It's the same with "per day." When combined with "uses" it implies consumption.

Salt water is corrosive and avoided in most applications of cooling--especially computers as the consequences of an electrolyte leak inside a data center are staggering. I have a watercooled cpu--but as Mannix says, it is a closed loop losing virtually nothing in its loop over the last several years.
Power plants using the giant evaporative coolers are one of the biggest consumers of water and that is because they are open loop with the water literally becoming water vapor expelled from the facilities like a giant swamp cooler.
In relatively closed systems using surface water with sewage connections, household use is also minimal--as that water from showers, washing, and toilets gets cleaned and released back to the surface waters. Watering for landscaping, street cleaning, etc. are where urban water residential systems lose water. Not toilets, bathtubs, and showers--the primary reason urban areas promote low flo devices comes from the demand end--less capacity for sewage and water lines.
Well based systems are different again depending underground aquifers that require recharging.

There's also the issue that ACCESSING that data and deleting it likely burns more energy and produces more heat than just leaving it as unaccessed data.
So not only are they wrong about how data centers work, their advice would actually use more water. (Again, miniscule, but still the wrong advice.)

That other medium is likely some nearby reservoir or river, and you've no doubt seen the chillers of various sizes from nuke plant size to small modular units repeated like government projects.
Now that is not to say that that water is "used" up in the sense that it is gone. It simply absorbs the heat of vaporization from the cooling loop heat exchangers and goes into the atmosphere as vapor or is pumped backed in the reservoir or river as warmer water.
You'd likely have to know the amount of waste heat or estimate from chiller cooling capacity and temperature differences of the ins and outs of the river/reservoir water to back calculate amounts of water "used" or lost to evaporation in the chillers.
That would be your biggest "use" of water in these and similar operations.

The mohammedans here don't like toilet paper and prefer bidets. Even jerry-rigged ones in their shops.
That's a LOT of water wastage.
Now if normal Britons use toilet paper, there's another huge water drop to kicking out their soon-to-be conquerors.

The #1 cause of water shortages by far is the water companies (privatised and thoroughly asset-stripped) themselves. They lose an obscene amount of water through pipe leaks, because maintaining infrastructure is so much more difficult and costly (and so bad for profits and shareholder dividends) than telling the peasants to use less of the product that THEY PAY THROUGH THE NOSE FOR.

England has a two week rule of no rainfall (.008 inches or less) for declaring a drought. Persistent higher than normal temperatures in UK lead to less rainfall due to the air holding more moisture than normal climate conditions. Apparently it is a fairly common occurrence.

It's not about data storage. It's about data.
There is an underground movement in the UK to replace the rainbow and Palestinian flags being put up by the government with St George's Cross flags. And as soon as they are put up the UK government takes them down.
Why would the government take down their own flag? Same reason our government allowed statues of our founders and heroes to be torn down. Same reason they renamed our military bases. Same reason the tried to ram the 1619 crap down our throats.
It is literally right out of the communist playbook. Erase history and replace it with one that supports the narrative. We are in the process of pulling out of that nose dive. The UK and the rest of the EU are still spiraling into the ground.

When we lived in CT our town wouldn't pick up our trash from the curb one time and threatened to fine us because they saw "recyclables" in the trash can. They said if it happened one more time they would have to issue us a fine. Come to find out even when we separated all of our recycle stuff they had switched to single stream recycling because it was cheaper for the town. Turns out single stream recycling meant it all was going into the trash and nothing was getting recycled.
The kicker with that was you still had to separate your recycle stuff from the trash even after they admitted everything was going into the same trash pile.

Ground loop closed heat pump systems are actually very efficient at heating and cooling as the temperature stays fairly constant below the frost line. Downside is the closed loops require a fair amount of land for the heat exchanging loops or you have to go deep with them.
Open loops with matched wells are easier if you have a place with topography and aquifers allow that. One is pumped out with the water used as coolant/heat and then pumped down into the other well. Another is to use a large reservoir like a pond to as the open loop or closed loop heat sink/source.
That being said, air heatpump units are increasingly efficient in ac/heat usage which usually makes them a cheaper choice in a lot of use cases.

We currently have 479 data centers listed, from 78 markets in United Kingdom (UK).
England has the large majority of them.
The UK has a growing number of data centers across various regions, including Yorkshire, Cumbria, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire, the East Midlands, and the West Midlands. These areas are seeing significant investment in data center infrastructure due to factors like proximity to major population centers, availability of suitable land, and access to power and connectivity.
>BBC, Data centres to be expanded across UK as concerns mount, 5 days ago
--
The people live under so many environment laws, and that list is ever expanding, they most often comply (especially outside of cities) for national interests.
In the meantime, there are falling farms numbers with small farms disappearing. Also, BBC, 'Uncertain future for small abattoirs as costs rise' 26 May 2025
(Though it's meant to be entertaining & features someone with no previous farm experience, Clarkson's Farm touches on some of what the country & farmers face.)

The employee, Yvette Thurston, was arrested on August 11 and faces three charges of first-degree child abuse and one charge of first-degree aggravated battery. The child, a one-year-old boy named Clay, was beaten badly enough to require treatment at a nearby hospital.
The story went viral when his father, U.S. Marine Cory Weeks, shared photographs on Facebook, leading to widespread community outrage. Initially, Little Blessings Child Care attempted to pass off the injuries as the result of an altercation with another toddler over a toy.
Surveillance footage, however, allegedly shows Thurston savagely beating the child,

I'm amazed at how many otherwise normal people have blindspots of AI. There's a fitness guru who legitimately understands and teaches fitness, but in the middle of a two hour interview urged his audience to tell AI everything about their goals and priorities and then regularly bounce new ideas off of AI so that AI could "hold them accountable" about whether their "new" thoughts were compatible with their "goals and priorities". I was aghast, not just because of the terrible things AI could do with this highly private info, but instead because this "normal" guru couldn't understand that he had just substituted AI for....God...that's the point of prayer, and a relationship with God--to search for what is important and ask for discernment from God as to what is truly important.

My guess is that you will have cabinet reshuffles first and Sir Keir will not serve out his full term as PM. The usual timeline for unpopular PM replacement is about 12-18 months before an election. Part of it is that Labour did not win many new votes--it went from 32 in the previous election to about 34 percent of the total vote in 2024. Instead, those unhappy with Torys which set a record for the smallest percentage of vote since 1830--less than 24 pct. That meant a lot of Tory voters abandoned the party for those on the left going to Liberal Democrats and Tory voters on the right going to Reform. Leaving a rump faction of Establishmentarians running the Tory party.
Thus, 66 percent of the UK population is not vested in Labour at all and some of that 34 percent of Labour voters in the last election are now regretting their vote. My guess if Labour continues to flounder, it may be supplanted by Liberal Democrats as the party on the left from defectors. As it did to the Liberals post WWI.

Within the framework of how Parliament normally operates, the only way to call a snap election is if the King demands it or if the majority party makes it happen. The CP could call for some kind of vote of no confidence, but Starmer would never fail it.

As always, it depends on the joint choices of millions of people making a choice for decline or redemption.

Also, Biden being old and insane was just right wing narrative.

From afar, it is difficult to tell plus compared to earthquakes--social sciences are more educated guessing than predictive.
And there is also the Euro mainland to figure into it along with their politics.
The chain revolutions of 1848 in Euroland, for example, came from a rejection in of the monarchy in Sicily thence to France, Germany etc.
But inevitably a mismatch between public consent, explicit or implicit, causes political unrest that can result in changes as mild as new parties in power to actually changing the structure of government to the liking of the new elite.
Corporate fascism as exemplified by the EU style welfare politics is dying--what will replace it--no one knows right now.

Not in 1972, and even so, a tube radio would not draw enough power to affect fuel economy. It might idle for 2 or 3 seconds less. Maybe.
This was the argument we had way back in 1973, which was what made it so funny.

It's even stupider than you're implying. The data is stored on hard disks or SSDs. The only way that the extra data generates heat is during various write/read/delete cycles. Storage alone doesn't generate heat.

Old, old-time Da Swamp dwellers used to call sidewalks "banquettes" (pronounced "bankets"), "little banks," because after a hard rain they were like the banks of a river. I guess "banquette" is the diminutive of "banche"?

The NYT did a dive on partisan voter registration over the last four years, and the picture is terrible for Democrats while largely positive for Republicans.
Democrats are hemorrhaging voter registrations. Republicans are mostly growing, and where they're not, they're mostly just not losing as much as Democrats are.
I just wonder why 2026 is supposed to follow "political gravity" or "normal trends" at this point other than, "it's an easy pattern to point to".

I remember a while back Dad and I were talking about how we needed more power plants. I actually think this was during 2008 election. I think I mentioned to him I liked McCain's idea of building 100 new nuclear power plants. We got to talking about power and infrastructure (Yes, Dad and I are a hit at parties) and I asked how you store power and he mentioned using essentially a giant water battery with a high reservoir and a low one. I had just never seen one until this video.

Saw some leftie doing some variation of that in Germany.
Seems the Krauts have some sort of "park" that is supposed to show other countries.
And every other country has replicas of classic architecture and beautiful landscaping.
Because the designer called in experts from those countries and let them design it.
Except the US.
The designer bitch, on her own, threw up a chain-link fence, some astroturf and a few palm trees.
That's ok Europe.

One of my favorite stats:
The average slave in the antebellum United States consumed more daily calories than a third of those living in Europe.
Which also explains why so many of them were so desperate to get to the US, even if it was the quasi-slavery of indentured servitude.

Ours grew faster than theirs. A lot of things go into it, probably the largest over the past ten years being the Syrian influx into Europe which didn't lead to an explosion of economic activity, for some reason.

My brother, Thing Two, was stationed in Germany. My aunt R and I went over to visit for a month. We took a day trip tour to Paris. Lovely place. Went to the Eiffel Tower. In an elevator that takes one up to the second level, I stood, crammed in with at least two dozen stinky frenchies, with my face buried against my aunt's neck. She was wearing a wonderful perfume, thank God! It was the only way I could get thru that elevator ride without barfing. Those people are gross!

Johan de Witt, former Grand Pensionary (Prime Minister) of Holland and his brother are lynched by an angry mob who ate their body parts, including their roasted livers. As Prime Minister of Holland, he had neglected the Dutch army causing the Dutch Republic to be easily invaded by an alliance of countries that included England and France. He and his brother were blamed for the defeats and were lynched in The Hague, where their bodies were cannibalized by the mob.

Bit of an overstatement--depended on the area but those of the Right held to DeGaulle etc. Allo Allo gets it right about the rivalry between Resistance fighters on the left and right.

One of the issues with any survey of such as that a lot of people claimed Resistance cred after the fact. Of course, any estimates of the actual composition of the Resistance are just estimates which the political divisions in France. From what I recall of the matters, urban cells had more Socialist/Communists in them. As you got further from Paris, it was more DeGaullist, etc. Places like Brittany and Normandy had relatively few Socialist Communists as did the northern border regions with Spain. Marseilles and the areas adjacent to Catalonia in Spain were more Socialist/Communist.
Even in France, there was a divide between the Socialists and the Communists before and during the war including Resistance cells.

The Morning Report — 8/20/25
American support would particularly take the form of air support. Whether that means combat air patrols and air policing or the deployment of intelligence assets to feed information to European forces on the ground is presently unclear. Nevertheless, President Trump said: “When it comes to security [the Europeans are] willing to put people on the ground, we’re willing to help them with things, especially… by air because nobody has the kind of stuff we have.”No war, however it ended, either by a clear military defeat and official surrender of one side or by an armistice or some other political accord ever stopped the mutual animosity and distrust of the victor and the vanquished for each other. I can't imagine Zelensky provoking Putin but I do think Putin will likely probe the resolve of the EU and President Trump, and that means air to air combat and at that point things can and likely could get out of hand. Aside from facilitating an end to the bloodshed, it is up to each side to behave in a civilized manner once the ink dries on the Neville Chamberlain stationery and it's up to the EU to secure their own damned borders and security if they really think Vladimir Putin has the manpower and ability to roll all the way to and even cross the English Channel. From my perspective, and I could be dead wrong, it seems to be in in Russia's best interest, geopolitically, domestically and economically to end the fighting. The greatest threats to global security come from Communist China and the global Islamic cause. Regardless of Putin's behavior vis a vis invading Ukraine, down the road it would be in our interest to have him in our corner as an ally with a common cause against bth of the aforementioned threats. But the Chi-Coms are now linked closely with Putin and putting a wedge between those two would be a challenge for sure. That's another reason why getting America involved in keeping the peace is not in our best interest. Speaking of the Communist threat, over here in the US of A, whether or not he can actually do it, the President got a giant cheer from me and every sane American for announcing his intention to do away with mail-in balloting for future elections. Of course there was an equal and opposite reaction from the clinically insane crowd:
Democrat Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), a man who identifies as a woman, claimed President Trump is waging an “all-out assault” against “American democracy” because he wants to get rid of mail-in ballots and voting machines. “This president is taking notes from his favorite dictator. Let’s be clear: a president with popular policies wouldn’t need to illegally gerrymander districts, ban voting machines, or abolish vote-by-mail,” the transgender-identifying lawmaker said in a post to X on Monday evening.American democracy is a myth, up there with Palestine and the Loch Ness Monster. Or at best a euphemism for Democrat-Party Dictatorship. At the very least kudos to the President for at the very least bringing this issue to the forefront of public discourse where the longer it remains in the spotlight, the more the Prsident's point of the threat to voting an election security is made. Look at the reaction to calling out the National Guard in DC to combatting crime. And now look at the figures, that is the ones that the DC PD did not fake (see below) since he called out the Guard show how doing so has immediately made a difference.
The investigation raises broader questions about the reliability of crime statistics in Democrat-run jurisdictions.

Mamdani Versus the Statue of Liberty
- Three guesses.
Who’s Behind Zohran Mamdani? THE UKRAINIAN "FRONT" - U.S. President Donald Trump gave his personal assurance that there will be no American boots on the ground in a post-peace deal Ukraine security operation because that will be the job of European states.
President Trump Says American Planes in the Air But Not Boots on the Ground for Ukraine Security Mission - “There can be no end of this war without security guarantees,” he added. “I’ve got one goal here. To make sure there’s no third invasion. If America would tell the world, Russia and Ukraine, we have Europe’s back if there’s another fight in Ukraine, that you would be picking a fight with the United States if there was a third invasion, there will never be a third invasion. And Donald Trump is setting that in motion. As to land swaps, remember, China is watching. Don’t do anything in Ukraine that would entice China to take Taiwan.”

Veronica Hannan, "champion of diversity in STEM" & friend of "I'M AN AG" Devon Hogan Flanagan, went bananas during arrest. She escaped cuffs, growled, hissed, kicked, screamed, "NOOOOO!"
All they had to do was leave.
Police: "What's wrong with you? You're acting like a kid!"
Perhaps we should bundle up a Bronze Star and award it to her for being "a champion of diversity in STEM". I mean, come on -- CHAMPION!

"The border wall separating the United States and Mexico is being painted black to make it too hot for migrants to climb.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem revealed the project was a specific request from Donald Trump as the president celebrated 'ZERO releases' of illegal migrants into the country.
'In the hot temperatures down here, when something is painted black it gets even warmer,' Noem said during a press conference in front of the wall on Tuesday."

No, you don't "inadvertently" add a Bronze Star to your record.
My highest award was a Navy Achievement Medal. Poor LCPL Meyers filed award recs in S-1 (Admin). I was doing a stint in S-3 Ops as SORTS handler and Schools NCO. I remember telling him (cue moron voice) "If I get a NAM I don't want it to be for paperwork". So stupid. My S-3 Officer wrote me up for tripling the number of Marines we had in schools. Training Courses like Squad Leaders Course, Mountain Leader, Sniper, Recon, SERE. We even had Jump School Quotas. All I did was spoon feed quotas to the line companies. I was a gunner for an LAV-25 and a section leader, 31st MEU-SOC, Somalia... but in hindsight? That was the most important thing I did in the military.

So, Meyers gets the rec and circular files it. Never occurred to me that Marine officers don't rec awards on a whim. Major McCoy wants to know why I haven't gotten the award. MAKES A SPECIAL FLIGHT FROM DC TO LEJEUNE to unfck whatever went wrong. Meyers stays true and takes the hit, doesn't rat me out. I'm out in the field, I miss the entire apocalypse THANK GOD. I could not have faced him and seen the disappointment in his eyes that I appeared so ungrateful and undeserving. And you know how these awards are presented - they make it sound like Western Civilization was hanging in the balance.
LCPL Meyers was rewarded for his unflinching loyalty as Hell raged around him - a bottle Jack Daniels every Friday for 3 months.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - August 19, 2025 [scampydog]
Been waiting for this one to drop. Whiny article. J-6 FBI Investigator fired.
Former top South Carolina FBI official Steven Jensen, who was promoted to lead the prestigious Washington field office in March, was fired this week because of his work investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, according to multiple news reports. Jensen was fired because he participated in and helped lead investigations into the thousands of people who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to reports by CNN, The New York Times and The Washington Post.*** And the 10/10 portion of the story.
Since he was fired after serving 19 years and four months (according to his Linked In profile), he won’t be eligible for an FBI pension, which comes after serving 20 years, federal officials familiar with the FBI told The State.

Cities and their architecture. I’m no expert in architectural styles. Dogs chase their tails, after all - but most of us know what we like when we see it. Art Deco, Gothic, Brutalist, Spanish, etc. What about you? Which styles catch your eye, and in which cities do you most enjoy the architecture? International flair America!
Solid advice. Should be ignored however, in the comments.

It all started with one woman’s brain back in the 1990s. She was 81 when she died, and researchers were doing a routine examination of her donated brain tissue. They figured they’d find the usual stuff – protein clumps, damaged cells, all the wear and tear that comes with eight decades of living. Instead, they found something that made them do a double-take. Her brain looked almost identical to someone 30 years younger. Where they expected to see dozens of protein tangles gumming up her memory circuits, they found just one. One single tangle in her entire memory center.Now if they can figure out how to make the body look like a 30-year old. ***
So what do they all have in common? They’re incredibly social people. SuperAgers are the ones hosting dinner parties, volunteering at local organizations, maintaining close friendships, and staying deeply connected to their communities. They genuinely enjoy being around other people and rate their relationships way more positively than typical agers.

According to GoDaddy's survey of 1,500 U.S. consumers, only 20% of respondents say customer service has improved recently, compared to 42% who perceive a decline in the quality of service received. Among Gen X and Boomers, pessimism is particularly pronounced: just 12% say customer service has improved and 46% believe it has worsened. In contrast, 29% of Gen Z and 31% of Millennials say support has gotten better, suggesting the next generation of shoppers is more positive about the state of customer care. "The generational divide is striking. Young consumers are more likely to give businesses the benefit of the doubt, but they also have higher expectations for speed, flexibility and friendliness," said GoDaddy Small Business Trends Expert Amy Jennette.

The local beer, Quilmes, wasn't too bad, either. Always order the Grande bottle, 22 oz, I think it was.
Another recommendation is the pizza. Somewhere after WWII, they got some good Italian cooks, besides all those nazis. I went to a place that had a portrait of Walt Disney eating there from the 1940's. I have no idea why Walt was in B.A. then, but I thought it was cool I was eating in a tablecloth restaurant having a pizza, just like Walt. Good pie. Saw a group of ladies of a certain age out for lunch sharing a pie. 'Los Immortales', in the Recoleta District.

At points in time in history, you could travel from Paris to Rome, and along the way the language would slowly morph from French to Mostly French to half French/half Italian until it was full Italian. Language evolves. It's evolution is a bit different these days as folks aren't as isolated, so changes in language are more like the spread of a viral pathogen.

The road leading to my house was perfectly fine, literally nothing wrong with the asphalt, the other day woke to it completely covered in gravel with chip and seal signs everywhere, apparently this broke ass state is spending the tax money on things other than properly resurfacing roads and doing it to roads that don't need it.

That was tonight's dinner. Cob of Taber peaches and cream corn, on the top rack of the grill, with the marinated steak on the lower rack. Yummy! Taber, in the south of Alberta, has a climate region conducive to growing sweet corn, potatoes, and sugar beets. Come corn harvest, you will find trucks selling Taber corn in small towns, and on the corners of mall parking lots in the cities.
Little-known factoid: There are two micro-climate zones in Northern Alberta where delicious sweet corn is grown, the valleys of the Peace River, and of the Smoky River, a major tributary to the Peace. Both rivers run through deep canyons, and the canyon walls trap the Sun's heat and create a micro-climate conducive to corn growing. A few hundred acres in each case/

My 95-yr old mother is back in the hospital again. She got another nose bleed, and as we feared, her platelets had crashed again, down to 14K/uL.
All her other blood values are normal, so this looks like what that call ITP, an autoimmune attack on the platelets. Apparently, this is a thing that can happen when one is very much 29. They've got her back on immunoglobulin and steroids, which will get them back up. But this is apparently going to be a long term problem.

So, President Trump wanted to know if the CIA, the DIA, or the FBI was the the best. So he released a rabbit in the woods and demanded to see who could find it.
The CIA went first. They trained birds and squirrels to be informants, and questioned all the rocks and trees, and came back three weeks later, claiming the rabbit never existed in the first place.
The DIA went next. They put the forest to the torch, put out the stumps, and returned three weeks later, claiming the rabbit must surely have burned along with the rest.
Finally, the FBI goes, and returns nearly immediately with a bloody, battered bear who says "ok, you've got me! I'm the rabbit!"

Instead, they found something that made them do a double-take. Her brain looked almost identical to someone 30 years younger.
So what do they all have in common? They’re incredibly social people. SuperAgers are the ones hosting dinner parties, volunteering at local organizations, maintaining close friendships, and staying deeply connected to their communities."
All good activities, but someone that dies at 81 is NOT a SuperAger. Her brain was OK, but she is dead at 81. Still I guess, having a good brain at death at 81 is better than many forms of dementia beginning at 79 or so (maybe), even if on lives to 95?

Back then, though they were fairly old, there were still some of the Graf Spee crewmen as waiters. The guy we had definitely had a very thick German accent.
According to a Yelp entry, Mengele used to dine there when he visited from his secret life in Paraguay. Pretty wild.
Kicked myself forever for not doing a story on it after. Wasn't widely known at the time, when I checked around (the Graf Spee crew part). And I was doing some articles during my travels in that period. And the locals who brought me there were aviation journalists.

1) did they confirm no-one pulled a hoax?
2) maybe all the damage (after you control for booze, drugs, smoking, etc) is because society forces people to act extraverted when they're not? Maybe an introvert who's allowed to act like an introvert without people nagging them to get out and meet people, would have similar results?

Another reason I love where I live. There are very few foods that we don't grow here naturally. You can raise cows and pigs and other land based proteins pretty much everywhere. Same with vegetables and lots of fruits. Kind of hard to grow seafood in Kansas.

We did have some peaceful protests here in Anchorage when Trump and Putin were in town (protests here are always peaceful, mainly because everyone is armed to the teeth -- we don't play that burn, loot, murder shit here). The worst thing was that some dipshit vandalized a gate sign at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.
He's been caught and jailed. Photo here:
https://tinyurl.com/havt3b2v
Doesn't look at all like the type, amiright?
LOL!
In another article, the Anchorage Daily News (which has long been called, UNaffectionately, the Daily Worker) claimed there was a massive anti-Trump rally. And yet, somehow, when I passed one of the protest locations there were easily 5x as many Trump supporters than communists. Weird, huh?
Trump carried this state by nearly 15 points. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to decide which version is more likely to be accurate.

CalTrans... Highway 99 through Calif Central Valley... been widening the highway to 3 lanes on each side since Obama's Shovel Ready bill... STILL not anywhere near done, partly because High Spending Rail can't decide on the finalized route...
Note, some Democrat districts, the highway has been repaved 3 times... while others... the worked on for 2 YEARS (at the time it was the deadliest stretch of Highway in the US) and it is STILL not done.
CalTrans... perpetual job program.

Tribalist bastard!!!!
in the Lakota language, buffalo is referred to as "tȟatȟáŋka", while in the Cheyenne language, it is called "vóóhko".
1
Additionally, the Blackfoot language has specific terms for buffalo, such as "iinii" for the male and "tarha" for the female.
1
The Navajo language uses "ayani" for buffalo, and the Cherokee language has its own term, "yansi".
2
These terms not only identify the animal but also carry deep cultural and spiritual meanings within the communities that use them

Little Debbie used to be like the mafia with the local grocery stores. One of the local managers got to talking about that. If you wanted to sell Little Debbie, they had requirements about product placement. They demanded primo locations in the store, and had rules about no competition could allowed next to their displays. And their own people would come out and arrange and stock the displays.
That appears to have changed now, and I see rival brands right next to Little Debbie now, including the Food Lion store brands. I think Covid and the mess there was the main driver. And now, they just ain't puttin' up with Little Debbie's shit any more.

For sure. My family was a Folger's family when I was a kid, and so was I until Serious Gourmet Shit coffee became a thing.
About 15 years ago I forgot to buy more beans, so I hustled (more like crawled) down the nearby convenience store and bought a bag of Folger's.
Got home, made a pot, dumped it out, and forced myself to trek to a real coffee shop.
My theory is that the company went on the skids after the last Folger died (if I'm not mistaken, the sole heiress was Abigail Folger, who got murdered by the Manson family). Took a decade or two to rot away completely, but rot it did.

They 'came back' a few years ago, too. I tried them then. They sucked. Totally toned down on the spice kick. I guess the additive that made it taste good then isn't good for us. But there was a decent kick to those '60s taco flavored Doritos. Addictively so.

Spoon it into the pastry, cover with another piece, seal the edges, and drop that sucker in a deep fryer.
I'll have to try it the next time I get up the gumption to break out the deep fryer. I usually try to make something like donuts when the oil is fresh. Then I fry a package of bacon in it. After that, french fries or tots, which get a luscious bacon flavoring.

On sale, I'll buy corned beef or Spam. I like to have those around for when I'm lazy.
I'll make corned beef hash or a 'b-b-q' sliced Spam cooked with vinegar and brown sugar (then make sammiches).
Lazy food. Also Mom food. Quick because she worked.
Those two canned meats are nostalgia for me.
Now the other canned meats I liked, I now make: Chicken salad/deviled ham/roast beef spread.
In college, just about every kind of tinned meat product was snack food as no refrigeration was required. Some nights, the tinned meat with crackers was better than the cafeteria.

Inside a kangaroo's pouch. I guess I should have known this, but didn't -- a kangaroo's teats are inside the pouch. Pandas are devoted to disproving the entire concept of Darwinian survival of the fittest. Horse takes a quick dip in a creek. Man and his best friend surf. A father and daughter debate the curfew and proper dress policies. Florida Man is just different. This may be a bad sign.

Trust that Humanity is loathsome to its core and any structure made there from will be equally loathsome.

Watched one tiny songbird drive a golden eagle off my roof this morning by repeatedly dive-bombing it. Seen plenty of predator birds driven off by a number of smaller birds working together, or at least by one decent-sized bird, but pretty rare to see one single tiny bird that could fit in the palm of your hand do it. As an American, rooting for the underdog is my birthright. I was rootin' for the l'il bird.

Penguin eggs vary much in size, from a large hen’s egg to a goose’s. They mostly lay two at once. Their nests are sometimes close together, so you can soon pick up a lot. They stand in pairs, each couple at their nest to defend it, and some will not give up till they have been kicked away two or three times. They can give a good sharp bite, if they get hold of you.

Reminds me of the old TV Westerns like Life & Legend of Wyatt Earp, when all the Hoodlums wanted a town to be "Open."
That's what this Free DC is farce -- Democrats hoodlums demanding an "open" city.
AI defines "open town" as: In the context of Westerns, an "open town" signifies a settlement largely characterized by a lack of strict law enforcement and, in many cases, a thriving environment for activities considered illegal or morally questionable in other areas.

From what I understand, especially when you call them in when there's snow around.
Saw a video where a guy let his Husky outside where there was snow on the ground and it was also coming down hard. When he called the dog in, it just stared at him, laying curled all happy in the snow. A neighbor had called the cops on the guy for animal cruelty. When the cops came, he let the cops into the back yard to show them and see if they could get him in. The dog was just curled up against the blowing snow, without a care in the world. In its element, so to speak. The cops just laughed and left.

That is usually the case. There is the rare instance of the General Absolution, given to those in imminent danger of death (e.g. soldiers). But even here, the absolved must be truly contrite and be resolved to confess at the earliest opportunity.

According to a Supreme Court decision, accepting a pardon is admitting guilt to the offense.
Practically speaking, this can't be true, as the pardon has been used several times to free people who have been exonerated by evidence discovered after a trial, bit I suppose the Court was just grasping at any excuse in that particular instance, as the case in question was a guy waiting to rejected a pardon that the rat bastard Wilson had bestowed upon him for the sole purpose of erasing his 5th Amendment rights against self-incrimination to force him to testify in another person's trial.

There's always hope. Cats often have an inner dial that can change with time or a 'duty station' reserved for him or her. Recently my big fluffy boy cat, William T Sherman decided that he can sleep for a bit on the bed at night and be petted instead of reserving it to the female cat who they had been leaving it for this last decade or so. Another high strung cat I have also had his fear dial turned down with age and became a lap cat more.

The etymology of "nimrod" is rather interesting. Nimrod was a biblical figure known to be a very skilled Hunter. Elmer Fudd showed up in a Bugs Bunny cartoon in hunter's regalia, so Bugs sarcastically referred to him as a great Nimrod. Most people seeing the cartoon did not catch the bublical reference and assumed Bugs was just using a mild general insult, asking to "doofus" or "coozergibbet," but thought it sounded fetch and started using it in daily conversation.

So apparently in England the natives have decided to fuck with their local council governments by putting English flags all over the place. The councils have responded by taking them down and it’s devolved into an all out flag war lmao. The mad lads are going around in bucket trucks and putting them even higher. The best part about it is the politicians are furious but they literally can’t say why. The English are now removing Palestinian flags and replacing them with union jacks and the establishment just can’t figure out how to make it stop. This brings me so much joy lol.

Requetes were Navarrese Catholic Militia who were very enthusiastic about killing Communists. They tended to fight to the last man, and one of their overrun positions in Teruel had "Remember: Every Communist You Kill Is One Day Less in Purgatory" written on the wall.

Mine had a hideous intellect. It could outsmart my mother, or help her in ways it would never do for us. A few examples. One time me, my father, and my brother went away for a weekend. My mother had to take care of him. He didn't play fetch, he played keep, forget trying to get anything from him. Mom was hanging clothes on the line out one of the back windows, she dropped a clothes pin, the dog jumps onto the porch, picks it up, puts his paws on the window sill and hands her the clothespin through the window. If I dropped it he would turn it to sawdust. Then she had to take him for a walk, she says under her breath "where the hell is your leash". Dog vanishes, and comes back with the leash in his mouth and hands it to her. Never did that for any of us. My mother told us all this when we got home. She said it was like the dog was saying ok, I got to train this woman. lol

They've been there since the time of Christ. Our media uses the term "Arab Christian" to make you think they came in with the Muslims - which is absurd. Or that they are Arabs who converted to Christianity, which is also absurd since it carries a sentence of death.
The Christians in the Middle East retreated into fortified communities and cut deals for protection as needed. They often made common cause with the Druze, who are regarded as heretics.
Ancient feuds but also ancient alliances that defy simple us/them analysis.

If it's an iPhone, it's not really "the Brave browser." Apple won't let other browsers into their ecosystem, so all the others--Brave, Opera, Firefox, whatever--are still Safari code wearing a skinsuit.
That said, I use Brave on my phone, just so I have Safari for javascript-required sites, and "Brave" Safari with javascript always turned off.
That said^2, there's something here that is forcing a near-immediate refresh on the main page, even with javascript off. The easiest way to the comments is to let it load halfway and hit the "x" on the address bar to stop it. The "acecomments" pages are fine once I get to them.

When my dog was younger he liked to pull socks out of the laundry basket while my mother was folding socks and wasn't looking at him. She would eventually catch him. Then...he changed his plan. He would pull a couple out, leave one on the floor as bait so my mother would find it thinking ok, its over. Um..no. He would move a good distance away from the basket, keep one between his paws to play with while laying like the sphinx. If she looked over at him he would put his paws together and cover it so she couldn't see. He was sneaky.

The Chinese recognize the immense popularity of the panda in the west. The Chinese never cared about pandas for hundreds if not thousands of years. It was not until the west saw them that their popularity exploded, and the Chinese said ‘hey, we might have something here.’
The panda is an evolutionary dead end. It’s got a carnivore’s body and nutritious requirements, but it has adapted (barely) to surviving on a herbivore diet. It’s theorized that pandas were out-competed by better carnivores, and had to retreat way up into the mountains where the only reliable source of food was bamboo.

Being big enough that they don't have predators is most of it. Cubs and juveniles get picked off by leopards and such, but the adults are safe.

I guess it is a matter of what you think is going to be good for you and increase your calories.
You might ask some body builders what they use to increase their calories, it seems to work and they are focused on that sort of thing. I always liked whey powder and Greek yogurt to add to canned fruit to make smoothies. It is what Ensure tries to be, but without the extra ingredients.

Bank Executives Admit: Obama and Biden Pressured Us to "Debank" the Democrat Party's Political Enemies
They're speaking anonymously for fear of reprisal.
The banks faced reprisals under Obama and Biden: Do what we demand, punish our enemies for us, or we'll sic bank regulators on you and make your life a nightmare. Obama and Biden are gone but the Democrat Party is now communist and Maoist and they will get their vengeance if they're given the chance.Bank executives blow the whistle on how Obama, Biden admins pressured them to debank conservativesAnd speaking of weaponization of government: Tulsi Gabbard revoked the security clearances of 37 officials involved in the RussiaGate Coup Attempt.
In the wake of President Donald Trump's executive order outlawing debanking, major bank executives told Fox News Digital that they were under pressure by the Obama and Biden administrations to deny services to individuals and businesses for political reasons. "Those pressures were very, very real. When your regulator gives you a suggestion, it's not a suggestion, it's an order. The political stuff is very real, those pressures are real," a senior banking executive told Fox News Digital. ... The executives said that ambiguity in federal laws was exploited by regulators under the Obama and Biden administrations in order to pursue political objectives. According to one executive, banks were pressured to deny services to certain industries as part of Operation Choke Point and Operation Choke Point 2.0. "When there's ambiguity in the law, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and for a long time the beholder was the Obama and Biden administration," the official said. A House Oversight Committee report found that "Operation Choke Point," a DOJ task force whose aim was to "choke out" legal companies disfavored by the Obama administration, worked with bank regulators to label certain industries, including firearms sales, as "high risk." Trump ended "Operation Choke Point" in 2017 during his first term. However, a House Financial Services Committee hearing last week heard accusations that former President Joe Biden had rebooted the initiative and targeted crypto firms for debanking as part of "Operation Choke Point 2.0." Trump claimed to be a victim of debanking, and accused JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and others of refusing more than $1 billion in his deposits. First lady Melania Trump wrote in her memoir that she and her son Barron were debanked, as well. "I was shocked and dismayed to learn that my long‑time bank decided to terminate my account and deny my son the opportunity to open a new one.... This decision appeared to be rooted in political discrimination, raising serious concerns about civil rights violations," Melania wrote. ... Former Republican Sen. Sam Brownback accused JPMorgan Chase of having debanked his nonprofit, the National Committee for Religious Freedom, in 2022. JPMorgan maintains that they never engaged in political debanking, but updated their code of conduct to state that they do not discriminate based on political views or religious beliefs in 2025 -- which the bank stated was merely the codification of existing policy. ... According to Inspire Investing's Tim Schwarzenberger, CFA, whose firm has been deeply involved with combating debanking, banks would use the criteria of "reputational risk" to deny services to politically disfavored groups and individuals. ... Another senior banking executive said that negative news coverage was considered criteria for "reputational risk." During the period between the 2020 presidential election and Trump's return to the Oval Office in 2024, he was subject to a flurry of lawsuits and negative press. Banks, according to the official, responding to the wishes of regulators, would use the negative press directed at conservatives as a pretext to debank them. "It's all kind of set up, it's like somebody set the table, and it all ends up focusing on Republicans and conservatives," the executive said. The executive added that banks were under constant regulatory pressure to file more "suspicious activity reports," reports submitted to the Treasury about unusual banking activity, and to debank more customers. He said the regulators didn't need to explicitly tell banks to deny services to any particular individual or business. The administration's preferences were well known, and the banks were expected to comply. ... "It's better for us to just not take on certain business if we suspect an examiner can come in and say six months ago you shouldn't have taken this client," the bank official told Fox News Digital.
I guess that's why this Deep State scumbag is salty.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard
@DNIGabbard Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right. Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold. In doing so, they undermine our national security, the safety and security of the American people and the foundational principles of our democratic republic. This is why, at @POTUS
' direction, @ODNIgov
directed the revocation of the security clearances of 37 current and former intelligence professionals who have abused the public trust by politicizing and manipulating intelligence, leaking classified intelligence without authorization, and/or committing intentional egregious violations of tradecraft standards. Our Intelligence Community must be committed to upholding the values and principles enshrined in the US Constitution and maintain a laser-like focus on our mission of ensuring the safety, security and freedom of the American people.
A former FBI agent and friend of Peter Strzok who recently resigned from the bureau after he says his relationship with the disgraced ex-FBI official was scrutinized by Dan Bongino is now defending Crossfire Hurricane, suggesting Donald Trump was in contact with Russian intelligence, comparing the FBI under Kash Patel to the KGB and Chinese spy services, throwing around Nazi comparisons, and more. Michael Feinberg, who was recently the assistant special agent in charge at the FBI's Norfolk field office in Virginia, left the FBI at the end of May after he claims his direct superior told him that FBI deputy director Dan Bongino was scrutinizing his longtime friendship with Strzok, the disgraced FBI special agent who played a key role in the Trump-Russia investigation and was fired following the emergence of biased anti-Trump texts he had exchanged with FBI lawyer Lisa Page, with whom he was having an affair. Rather than take a polygraph test about his relationship with Strzok, Feinberg says he quit the FBI instead of risking the possible demotion he says he was facing in place of the big promotion to FBI headquarters which he had been expecting. The FBI's website says that "although we have used polygraphs to screen new employees for many years, since the 2001 Robert Hanssen spy case, we have also been requiring regular polygraph examinations of FBI employees with access to sensitive compartmented information."
Anti-Trump operatives' new hero Since leaving the bureau, Feinberg has been hailed this summer by some as a possible "Resistance 2.0"-style hero by multiple anti-Trump foes. He has appeared on CNN and MSNBC, talked with Daily Show host and Trump critic Jon Stewart, got a job at the Brookings Institute-affiliated anti-Trump outlet Lawfare, and more, all while lashing out at the FBI under FBI Director Kash Patel. Feinberg has hinted at a nefarious connection between Trump and Russia, has compared the current bureau to Communist-style spy agencies, and has suggested that the Trump administration had commonalities with the Nazi regime, all while promoting the views of his friend Peter Strzok and seeking to downplay the FBI's wrongdoing during its politically-motivated Crossfire Hurricane inquiry into now debunked claims of Trump-Russia collusion.

Several problems with that. First, you can't replace something with nothing. The FBI is a power tool and in the right hands, can do a lot. For too long conservatives abolished the weapons that harmed them rather than taking them up.
Practically, it can't be abolished. It's not USAID.
It is also true that one can completely rebuild an organization by purging it and pushing enough new people in to fundamentally change its culture. This is what actually happened to the FBI and the US military as well.
By forcing change, mass firings, and then mass hirings, you can pretty much rebuild something from the ground up.

About May, when that had passed, and everybody was talking about a lot more than 2 weeks, I didn't wear a mask, unless it was required by a store I wanted to go into.
My wife was much more anti-mask than me, and she broke earlier.
When I started being the only in my department who dared to travel around later in 2020, my company required me to wear a mask and customers required me to wear a mask.
It was stupid, but it wasn't the Dark Night of Descending Fascism.
No, that's when the fascists started talking about "Vax passports" to go out into normal society.

There was a ton of malicious compliance, which often gets left out of the narrative.
My Guard unit was told to make. Really told. Seriously TOLD!
And people did, when the enforcers were around, and had lookouts and such. I suppose David the Submissive Troll would count that as a win, but it wasn't, and of course the unit lost 15% of its strength as people got fed up and left.
Ironically, the mask fiasco taught people how to better resist, and distrust the leadership.

I think nearly 100% of the purchases I made for ammunition were from merchants whose code was "Miscellaneous General Merchandise", "Discount Stores", "Variety Store", and "Sporting Goods".
As a person who has produced several credit card products, I have yet to see a "Gun Store" merchant code. If a shop that sells guns also sells fishing poles or archery, guess what? It is either General Merchandise or Sporting Goods.
MCC 5941 is by far the most common for those who sell ammo.
Reference: MCC: Merchant Category Codes (ISO 18245)

Q: How do you report extortion if it is federal law enforcement extorting you?
A: If you are being extorted by federal law enforcement, you should report it to the FBI (https://www.fbi.gov/tips). You can do this by contacting your local FBI field office, calling the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI, or reporting it online at tips.fbi.gov.
Q: What if the FBI is extorting you?
A: If you believe the FBI is extorting you, you should first contact the FBI's Internal Affairs Division, or your local FBI field office, or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.

“Just Following orders” is a valid defense, I must admit. Or at least we need to recognize that human nature being what it is, the Germans on trial at Nuremburg had a point. The Allies weren’t having any of it, but we’re no better.
The cops followed orders and shut down beaches, parks, church services during “Covid 19”. Looked the other way when innocent people got their heads bashed in during race riots. We have Snitch Lines to call for people who are not following the Rulez.

Although I think "slippery slope" is not quite the logical fallacy people make it out to be--especially when dealing with people and society and the "Overton Window", the main form of his argument is slippery slope.
And I think it's the bad kind. Everybody was wearing masks out in public. That probably gave people like Fraudci a private thrill, but it was hardly the same thing as a marker that *singled you out*.
So, the commonality is that they were both "forced" to be worn by authority.
But the rationale for masks was also not: "You're going to wear a mask because we're going to make you." Even though at some points the execution was like that. Instead they still had to frame it as a positive thing: being polite and keeping other people safe.

Only Libertarian retards (but I repeat myself) think that there should be zero trust in government. If it's that bad, overthrow it and start again.
For society to function, you have to trust one another, and that includes shares cultural practices. Preening that because you keep your (Fedora) hat on indoors makes you some sort of definant hero is absolute nonsense.
It's like defiantly picking your nose in public or rubbing your naughty spot in the women's locker room because you identify as a gal. So stunning, so brave!

First of all, you are a poorly educated idiot who thinks liberty is guaranteed. And I can forgive that, since there are a lot of idiots who seem to do well in the world
All societies require a level of cooperation and surrendering of personal desires, wants and even freedom to participate in any society. If you want to live among the trees like a feral dog, you can obey only your own wishes, but if you want to be in as much as a single relationship, you must bend to others' needs and wishes as well/
This is what marriage is, except for the most abusive relationships.
Your wife, your brother, your parents, your neighbor, your boss, the guy paving your sidewalk all have demands on you, and you participate. Conformity signals "I am on your team" and of course acting like a stinking hippie means you are not worth including in my team, so take your hat OFF at my table or get out.

Again, that was not always the case. Plenty of cops stood down. When a barber in Owosso re-opened his shop in defiance of Whitmer's edict, the county sheriff and city cops refused to enforce it. They sent State Police in a show of force and then the judge tossed the case.
When the AG demanded ruthless enforcement, ALL the sheriffs told her to do it herself. Some of them even forwarded snitch calls to her office.

I think the present norms are a case against that for many of us here. I think the norms of just a couple years ago are a pretty strong case against that.
As a somewhat conservative in a society that was pretty narrowly saved from going over the falls in a barrel, I don't see where I would get a faith that the norms of society are *always* going to be decided to my liking.

First of all, Bea Arthur rocks in a "wow, look at that rock formation" sort of way. So, who do you report the banking extortion to? Well, the FBI gets those. But, since the FBI was compromised just like the bankers, now what? Well, you're supposed to report it to FBI Internal Affairs (also, shown to be bias and compromised). So then, your option is Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General's Office. That would have been Michael Evan Horowitz. A political, partisan hack.
Now what, genius?

So they said "Masks don't work, but we'll fire you anyway"?
Or perhaps they said "We would suffer some serious repercussions if we don't require masking"? In that latter case, it's still done under the guise that the State was "keeping you safe".
I already said some points of execution appear exactly that way. But the overall authoritative rationale was that it was keeping people safe from Covid.
I doubt if any firm laid it out that 1) They could chose to do other if they wanted, and 2) they don't even believe that it helps, but 3) you're going to wear a mask because they told you.

Yes. Because I didn't lose the plot.
This is not about justifying their actions, it's about the equivalence between compulsory masking and Yellow stars.
CDC Mask policy didn't 1) single out a group and 2) weren't barefacedly inflicted upon its wearers.
And additionally *masks* have *failed*. Nobody wants to go back to that--including a number of progs.
We got a taste and guess what? Tolerance of mask policies didn't lead to Juden stars.

Feds Charge Thirty Tren de Aragua Gang Members with Drug Dealing, Murder-for-Hire, and Illegally Owning Guns That Americans Should Own
Are you listening to yourself, Martha?
Also, a chainsaw bayonet. The left claims it's bothered by guns. It's not. It's bothered by law-abiding American citizens (aka Republicans) owning guns.
Thirty alleged members and leaders of Tren de Aragua (TdA), a Venezuelan gang designated as a foreign terrorist group, were indicted in Colorado on charges including murder-for-hire, drug trafficking, and firearms offenses. The gang has been tied to murder, extortion, kidnapping, and drug and human trafficking. Several TdA members are accused of unlawfully entering the U.S. and introducing its gang violence to communities across America, including those in Colorado. "These defendants include Tren de Aragua leaders, members, and associates," U.S. Attorney for Colorado Peter McNeilly said during a press conference on Monday. "The charges include firearms trafficking, drug trafficking, and a barbaric murder for hire plot in which several of the defendants agreed to kill two people for $15,000 and return their severed heads as proof of the murders for just an extra $5,000." A nine-month investigation tied to crime at a Denver-area apartment complex led a grand jury to charge 28 people in a 39-count indictment. Charges include firearms trafficking, using guns in drug crimes, illegal possession of firearms and drug trafficking. Five defendants also face conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire. "The charges tell a story of people selling guns and drugs -- lots of them," McNeilly said. "The affidavits which have been filed in this case also tell a story of a murder-for-hire plot and other crimes that the defendants were willing to commit, such as sex trafficking. "One of the people who offered to commit murders in this case bragged to the undercover officers that the people he would use to commit those murders were the very same people that we had seen committing crimes on the news in these apartment complexes in Aurora," he continued. During the investigation, officers with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) recovered 69 firearms, including machine guns. Authorities claim that several of the firearms have been linked to shootings, carjackings, robberies and drive-by shootings in Denver and Aurora. ... ATF Special Agent in Charge Brent Beavers said during the press conference that some of the firearms recovered were privately made, adding that at least one was equipped with a machine gun conversion device.
... In a separate indictment, Luis Fernando Uribe-Torrealba and Luis Henriquez-Charaima, both 29, face six counts including murder-for-hire, carjacking, and trafficking drugs and firearms.

And before we hear the cheers - I want you to imagine all the prim and proper, know better folks right here that would have said within five minutes "that is simply not smart, and that is just not how its done. And Andrew Blanca wrote such and such about why that is not justified".

He is a classic leader in the mold of the medieval Italian City States. Many of them would try to be democratic Republics from time to time; but within a few years, all who tried that would collapse into weakness and gangsterism, until some powerful lord who could fund his own army would step forward, take control of things, chase out all of the thieves and other riffraff, and take the title of Duce. Cosimo Medici is the archetype, but there were many others. (And they generally ran things much better than any of the small Republics ever did)

It is not a Law of Physics that it is impossible to install multiple guillotines in a courtyard, town square, or field, and operate each as fast as possible.
Also, being a mechanical engineer, I can think of several designs for an automatic guillotine that could lop off many heads per minute. Using counterweights and pendulums would reduce the external power required, once the machine got up to normal operating speed.

You're glossing over an important point about just about all of us who have a conservative (small c) outlook on life. We recognize far more than the other side that a stable, well-ordered and lawful society is far better to live in than MadMaxistan. So, as long as there are honest, well run and properly staffed security forces, and so long as the Legal System is impartial and efficient, it is much better for all of us to let them work. It's pretty much the definition of sanity to support such a system.
BUT - if the police forces become hopelessly corrupt and useless, if the legal system becomes a politically driven farce, and if life becomes unlivable - then yes, we will switch to the other side overnight. If we're going to live in Mogadishu, then we'll be Lords of Mogadishu, that's what the left which supports this nonsense doesn't understand. Once we become convinced that there is no other choice - the cities will burn.

I, of course, do not believe that for a second. And the typical "insightful" comments about how its either over money or "just those damn liberals" leave me cold.
Those gang-bangers could have been shot up by ambush anytime the locals wanted to set up an ambush. Civilian or Police. But they didn't. Why ?
I do not believe it was because the gang was paying the mayor. I do not believe it was for some grand conspiracy. Nope. I know - as much as I can know such a subjective thing - that it went on simply because most people don't care if Person A kicks Person B in the teeth until they are dead. As long as Person A is the right skin color or wears the right uniform.

Back before wood chippers and even the Guillotine.
Why not a big old fashioned grain mill, water powered, with a hopper and a huge, 2 or 5 ton grinding stone? Just drop in the perps as fast as the hopper will take them. And use some of the water after it's flowed over the gear to wash away the remnants after the stone is through with them.

No Surprise: 88% of Students Confess They Pretend to be Left-Wing Just to be Left Alone
It's not a surprise, but I'm glad there's confirmation. We can only roll back this evil once it is acknowledged.
Of course, this is the whole point: You can only mold impressionable minds, not older, more mature minds whose beliefs and political leanings are already set. Get 'em while they're young, says the Groomer Cult.
On today's college campuses, students are not maturing -- they're managing. Beneath a facade of progressive slogans and institutional virtue-signaling lies a quiet psychological crisis, driven by the demands of ideological conformity. Between 2023 and 2025, we conducted 1,452 confidential interviews with undergraduates at Northwestern University and the University of Michigan. We were not studying politics -- we were studying development. Our question was clinical, not political: "What happens to identity formation when belief is replaced by adherence to orthodoxy?" We asked: Have you ever pretended to hold more progressive views than you truly endorse to succeed socially or academically? An astounding 88 percent said yes. These students were not cynical, but adaptive. In a campus environment where grades, leadership, and peer belonging often hinge on fluency in performative morality, young adults quickly learn to rehearse what is safe. The result is not conviction but compliance. And beneath that compliance, something vital is lost. Late adolescence and early adulthood represent a narrow and non-replicable developmental window. It is during this stage that individuals begin the lifelong work of integrating personal experience with inherited values, forming the foundations of moral reasoning, internal coherence, and emotional resilience.
But when belief is prescriptive, and ideological divergence is treated as social risk, the integrative process stalls. Rather than forging a durable sense of self through trial, error, and reflection, students learn to compartmentalize. Publicly, they conform; privately, they question -- often in isolation. This split between outer presentation and inner conviction not only fragments identity but arrests its development. This dissonance shows up everywhere. Seventy-eight percent of students told us they self-censor on their beliefs surrounding gender identity; 72 percent on politics; 68 percent on family values. More than 80 percent said they had submitted classwork that misrepresented their views in order to align with professors. For many, this has become second nature -- an instinct for academic and professional self-preservation. To test the gap between expression and belief, we used gender discourse -- a contentious topic both highly visible and ideologically loaded. In public, students echoed expected progressive narratives. In private, however, their views were more complex. Eighty-seven percent identified as exclusively heterosexual and supported a binary model of gender. Nine percent expressed partial openness to gender fluidity. Just seven percent embraced the idea of gender as a broad spectrum, and most of these belonged to activist circles. Perhaps most telling: 77 percent said they disagreed with the idea that gender identity should override biological sex in such domains as sports, healthcare, or public data -- but would never voice that disagreement aloud. Thirty-eight percent described themselves as "morally confused," uncertain whether honesty was still ethical if it meant exclusion. Authenticity, once considered a psychological good, has become a social liability. And this fragmentation doesn't end at the classroom door. Seventy-three percent of students reported mistrust in conversations about these values with close friends. Nearly half said they routinely conceal beliefs in intimate relationships for fear of ideological fallout. This is not simply peer pressure -- it is identity regulation at scale, and it is being institutionalized.

How am I supposed to interpret that? Is it that students can't "mature" because the live in a confusing fugue state so they don't get canceled, kicked out, failed or murdered? Or is it that they are just pretending to be "mature" because they are pretending to believe what "mature" people believe - that is, progressive tenets?

I think it can safely be assumed that the overwhelming majority of shopkeepers never think about the slogans they put in their windows, nor do they use them to express their real opinions. That poster was delivered to our greengrocer from the enterprise headquarters along with the onions and carrots. He put them all into the window simply because it has been done that way for years, because everyone does it, and because that is the way it has to be. If he were to refuse, there could be trouble. He could be reproached for not having the proper decoration in his window; someone might even accuse him of disloyalty. He does it because these things must be done if one is to get along in life. It is one of the thousands of details that guarantee him a relatively tranquil life “in harmony with society,” as they say.

It is a form of identification, a type of Loyalty Test, a quick and easy method of separating “good” from “bad”.
The hippies were a similar construct, but in those days it did take genuine stunning and brave courage to fly the Freak Flag.

Prof was a black female with issues. She used do discuss something and then go "And does our white student have any opinion on that?", knowing what she said previously would be hard to agree with.
I do recall one such time saying, "You keep calling me white, but I think I'm more of an off beige. And, looking around I don't see anyone with actual black skin, just different shades of brown, of which beige is a very light shade of brown. And, no, I have nothing to add."
Got an A in that class somehow. Prof turned out to be kind of funny once you got to know her, and hand some back. Waste of time for educational purposes, but made a few friends that semester.

Yeah, I got an "F" on my first essay in English. And I had straight A's all through high school.
There was literally nothing marked wrong on my paper so I went to the TA who was teaching the course. What he said was, "I didn't like what you wrote and how you said it."
Anyway, with a couple of questions I figured out that basically he wanted me to write everything from a communist point of view.
FIIIIIIIIIINE, a-hole. I'll play your game cuz I want my A and I'm not going to fight a war over English.
But, you've made a lifelong enemy of every single fucking thing you stand for.
So, I got my A and he got a lifelong opponent.

I read a mini-biography of one of the psychologists/hypnotizts employed by the C.I.A. to screw with people’s minds in the 1950s. He claimed that mental illness is “transmissible” by being around mentally ill people. I don’t think anyone would argue against that. He furthermore claimed once “caught” it was inheritable, in the genetic sense. Reading that really struck me, because this was not a nice person, he was a monster.

Conformity was still pretty intense even then when individuality was more tolerated, since you could still see the trends in dressing and acting sweep across the land. But it probably was kinder than when enforced by leftist domination for political purposes in more recent years.

Have you ever heard a leftist state a political opinion and ever be hesitant about any part of it? Simplistic, yes, but never hesitant.
Their default setting upon entering into any conversation is that all others have the same beliefs as they do.

College was about learning to give people what they want. Politics had taken center stage (and gotten stupid), but I had a prof who totally disagreed with my take on the Holy Roman Empire's development during the 1200s and said I came off like a poly sci major, which I was. I caustically asked him if he would prefer a straight chronology of the Imperial succession to a discussion of the larger forces at work and he snapped "Yes."
Back then it was blue books, and so before I even looked at the questions, I wrote out the succession of the Empire in the margins, and only then read the questions.
He gave me 4.0. A lot of it is just about dominance, period.

Yeah, and 87% responded 'yes' when asked if there are more than two genders.
The entire field of Adolescent Medicine is based on self-reporting by addle-pated teenagers, who notoriously lie or dissemble on questionnaires. And those responses are given much more significance by the researchers than they merit. Soft pseudoscience in search of something sensational.

Plain academics were caught unawares because they did not have the same disposition toward politics. They just were looking for bright candidates to fill teaching staff.
However, the lefties that got in on their academic merits were pledged not to receive others in the same way.
This is your ideology sieve: The more "The personal is political" zealots you get on your staff, the more academics are compromised for ideology.
They've not only stacked the decks at universities, but I'm quite sure they've discouraged academically-capable people from bothering with advanced degrees--if not college altogether.
And that completes the ideological closure. So that suddenly academics can say "Everyone in academia generally aggreges with me. We're not going to take the opinion of the rabble over our educated brothers and sisters!"

It's a rare comment I make. He's always been slow to wake and talk. I am awake and alert at 0400 (which I hate with a passion when I do this). I think his loud eating is due to two things: one, he is barely awake. Two: I am very awake and like complete silence.
If he ate louder at dinner to tick me off he knows I'd just laugh.

My middle kid did a year at a prestigious art school. She got good grades, but more than the classes she learned that the whole place was made up of certifiable lunatics.
The only person she could have a reasonable conversation with was a closeted gay prof, who felt remorse over his lifestyle. Because he work a St. Michael medal, he recognized her as a "friendly."
When she decided to drop out, I fully supported her. She's in the Guard, so college was free.

It is less likely that such broad based pressure is creating a consensus, and far more likely that it is building up and unseen backlash.

Whatever lawyer he gets will "work" pro bono. I put work in quotes because the odds of Schiff losing in Court are precisely zero, and his lawyer/performance artist knows that.
Like Andy McCabe and many others, this "legal defense fund" is a thinly disguised money laundering mechanism to reward past loyalty and ensure future loyalty.
A few braindead, drooling NPCs will chip in a few dollars from their Starbucks checks, and Party donors will pack it with cash. Schiff will buy a new house or some catamites.

It happened in real time. I got out just under the wire.
As a non-communist on campus, my experience was that it was okay. There were some profs I needed to avoid, and I dropped one class because the professor told us on day 1 that if you weren't a communist, she'd mark you down. But mostly, I was a curiosity. That weirdo who wasn't a red or a lib.
The Obama happened. When he broke onto the scene in late '07, it's like everything chilled virtually overnight. After he won Super Tuesday, it was over. Campus got cold and unfriendly. My friends were still my friends, but the professors and a lot of student got very stony. It's like a secret signal went out that it was time to crack down and go hard.

He has always been as superficial as the sheen on a glossy magazine. He should do Firing Line again, this time with Bill Kristol, and they can both pose as intellectuals together. Let's check the tape to see who's obsessed:EVERY mention of 'ISRAEL' on Tucker Carlson’s show since telling @tedcruz he’s ‘not obsessed’ with the country. Spoiler: IT’S A LOT." pic.twitter.com/FREAr0fOQA

Her headline claim was as audacious as it was false: that modern Palestinians are "Canaanite descendants" and "the first Christians." This is not a harmless slip of the tongue. Mother Agapia is not a newcomer to the conversation. She knows full well the Canaanites were pagan idol worshipers who vanished more than 3,000 years ago. She knows they bowed to Baal and Molech, not Christ. And she knows Christianity would not emerge for another millennium. She also knows the Palestinian national identity, as we understand it today, is a mid-20th-century political construct, forged under the guidance of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Facts are not in dispute here. They are simply ignored. Her moral reasoning is just as telling. She complains that Christians from Bethlehem need permits to visit Jerusalem's holy sites. What she does not say is why those permits exist. During the Second Intifada, terrorists murdered more than a thousand Israelis. Many attacks were planned and launched from Judea and Samaria. Suicide bombings were a regular occurrence. The security barrier that followed cut such attacks by over 90 percent. In Mother Agapia's moral accounting, the inconvenience of a permit outweighs the life of a bus full of schoolchildren. If she truly cared about protecting Christians in the Middle East, her outrage would be aimed in very different directions. It would start in Iraq, where a community that once numbered 1.5 million has been reduced to a fraction of that, scattered and broken in barely twenty years. It would move to Syria, where civil war has crushed some of the oldest Christian communities on earth. It would stop in Egypt, where Coptic Christians endure mob attacks, church burnings, and the ever-present threat of violence. But none of that seems to stir her voice. Instead, she reserves her anger for Israel -- the one country in the region where the Christian population has actually grown since 1948, and where Christians serve in parliament and even on the Supreme Court. That is not a random oversight. It is a deliberate choice. This is not the first time she has done this. In 2002, she circulated a grotesque fabrication claiming Israeli soldiers had raped Palestinian girls. The story was so outrageous that even WorldNetDaily -- hardly an Israeli propaganda outlet -- retracted it after discovering its source was a Palestinian schoolboy's invention. There is a pattern here: repeat anything, no matter how implausible, as long as it injures Israel.So once again Tucker Carlson is putting on a show where the message is simple, blunt, and antisemitic: Those tricksy Jews are taking you for a ride, MAGA people. They actually hate Christians and kill them. Well, Israel is fighting a war of necessity against Palestinians and a small percentage of them are Christians. So yes, there will occasionally be anti-Hamas operations near churches (with Hamas picking those areas to dig their spider-holes in). But for Tucker Carlson, it's all part of the Jewish Master Plan to Subjugate Christians.
I haven’t finished the interview, but it’s by far the worst interview I have ever seen @TuckerCarlson conduct.

Alongside her accounts of discrimination faced by Palestinians, Carlson devoted much of the interview to exploring Christian Zionism -- a belief by some that Jews must return to the Holy Land to trigger the "second coming" of Christ. In the interview, Mother Stephanopoulos detailed Israel's stealing of Christian land, the mission of "Greater Israel", and the persecution of Christians at the hands of Israel, among many other topics.One point: Some like Harry Paratestes will say, It's important that we feel free to discuss these issues honestly. True enough. But let's emphasize "honestly" in that sentence. If you want to argue that the US should not pick any favorites in foreign policy, and you want to extend that to Israel, well, extend that to the UK and Australia too. But Tucker doesn't talk about them much. He's focused laser-like on Israel. And as far as having an honest discussion, one can have a discussion about whether we are too supportive of Israel or not without resorting to emotional, demagoguic claims like "Jews are tricking Christians (same as they have since the Middle Ages!!!) and are killing Christians because they're Christians because they hate Christians." There is a large difference between making an argument that appeals to reason and an argument that appeals to 2000-year-old suspicions about the Jewish Cabal scheming to subvert and subjugate Christians, right? Many ISIS terrorists were born Christian and converted to Islam. Is Tucker Carlson suggesting that Christian-convert ISIS terrorists aren't valid military targets? Would he say that Trump also "kills Christians"? Of course not. Because this is all about the Jews, and Tucker clearly believes -- but is too cowardly to yet say -- that Jews Control America. But he'll get there. He'll get there. Bonus:
The IDF released audio of a Gaza resident telling an IDF officer that Hamas shot civilians at the Gazan Humanitarian Fund’s aid center—to sabotage the effort.

I always thought back when that Carlson was a lightweight, bowtie wearing retard on Redeye. (Bowties were the Fedoras of the 00s and early teens.)
Then, it seemed like he was making a stand for free speech when he came into conflict with fox during the depths of the Biden junta.
Now, he just seems like a loner.
Feet of clay and he seem like a different type of retard now, but at one time for a short period, he was an important symbol of resistance.

And that the ages old doctrine of Jesus' second coming was like invalidating Jesus' first incarnation.
She lead in to the denigration of second-coming thinking.
But it's really simple for we evangelicals: We want Israel back in the land, because we interpret that Lord wants to fulfil his promise to bring Israel back into the land.
We're not like some Muslims who believe that more chaos can hasten the coming of the Mufti. (I think that's the name).

I mean, Jesus was a Jew. He wasn't a gentile. And during His life, He made it a point that He was sent to the Jews first. He only sent Peter and Paul to the "gentiles" after He was resurrected.
What kind of Christian can possibly think that Jesus approves of treating the Jews poorly? Sure, I might disagree with individual Jews, and clearly they can be wicked people (See: The entire Old Testament) but just as clearly God loves them and wants them to repent and reconcile with them.
Thus, any Christian who just blindly spouts anti-Jew stuff is not being a follower of the The Jew, Himself. I mean, Jesus said He was the God of Israel. That's who the vast majority of Christians worship: the God of Israel. And we want to blame da Jooos and persecute them now?
That puts you on the same side as Satan, not God.

From a religious aspect I respect the Jews as the forebearers of Christianity and feel ashamed that the Jews were persecuted by those same Christians. While Islam is a political movement under the guise of a cobbled-up farrago of distorted beliefs.
From a racial standpoint, Jews have maintained a tradition of scholarship and learning and have given the world remarkable advances in many fields. Whereas Islam has given us nothing for a millennium.

We're picking between people who put babies in ovens and people who drop leaflets warning that a bombing is coming. (Which I think it stupid.)
We're picking between people who use rape as a weapon of war and people who trade enemy combatants for children.
It's not a hard pick.

I don't get out much, but I've never even heard of that dogma. The return of Christ (for the gathering together, of Christians) happens before Armageddon, from every doctrine I've seen.
The return of Christ in Power may happen later, (1000 years?) and that will be a judgement day. I never really tried to discern/dissect all the Revelation stuff.

Yup. I was a big supporter of Tucker. And I defended him until I just couldn't see the way forward.
He had a "religious experience" and he admitted that all of his life he'd been a lukewarm performative "Christian".
So he began to believe in demons and spiritual forces. And I think he took his distrust about secular matters into his spiritual awakening.
And not everything is about arcane forces that want to manipulate us.

First of all, is Mother Agapia Stephanopoulos Greek or Russian Orthodox &, secondly, is there any difference? (Like the Mennonites and Amish practice differently.)
Reportedly, she has lived in the Holy Land since 1996 & currently resides in Bethany in the occupied West Bank. And this is the very time we hear of this & from her?
This is simply coincidental for these times (and for all that is already on PDT's plate)? Nah.

And that the ages old doctrine of Jesus' second coming was like invalidating Jesus' first incarnation.
There's a large plurality of Christians who have what I consider a bizarre read of Matthew 16:18 in which Jesus says, "And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
According to them, this means Jesus' Church on Earth is perfect or nearly so. To them, any claim to the contrary is a rejection of Jesus' promise. A direct extension of this logic is to claim Jesus' Second Coming is unnecessary.
There are several verses in the Bible that directly contradict this logic, notably 2 Thessalonians 2:3, "Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the falling away comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction"
See also the Pauline Epistles which were necessary because the members of The Church were falling apart.
See also Revelation 14:6 in which God deems it necessary to send an angel to proclaim the gospel.

I may be wrong but I don't think Tucker was ever one of the foremost proponents of Israel. I think he reflects the Beltway and NYC consensus that is pro Arab and anti Jewish and getting more so nowadays. Greased since the 70's with oil money being spritzed around. Foreign policy establishment has knocked heads with Israeli defense and foreign since its founding and for much of the same reason that you see other places in Euroland do the same--it is access to money derived from oil and energy in the Middle East. Same reason that these stupid elites allowed importation of Muslims that hate us and our way of life in the West.

I'm sorry, but it has to be said: those Christians who support the government of Israel in expanding its borders and ridding the land of non-Jews are involved in a great heresy.
As Christians, our job is to share the Gospel. That's it.
Tell our Jewish friends and neighbors as well as our non-Jewish friends and neighbors the Good News of Jesus Christ.
It's the Great Commission. That's all. We're not to try to make prophecy come true according to some particular reading of the Bible.
It would be like believers in ancient times reading the prophecy of the Hebrews going into bondage in Eqypt for 400 years and saying, "Let's help the Egyptians round up and enslave the Hebrews, it will help make this prophecy come true."

Talking about Israel is a non-starter here for several reasons. Number One - you've got at least one COB as well as the Man In Charge that still talk about Israel the way my Baptist Grandmother talked about Israel. The Chosen People.
Number Two - you've still got the Good Guy / Bad Guy worldview. I blame that on the Cold War Boomers. Growing up, totally sure, that one is totally on the right side while the other is totally on the wrong.
To say all that is to say this - Israel is as close to 100% right on this latest Gaza deal as anything I've ever seen in the last few hundred years of history. As always, Israel is screwing Israel by over-thinking ... as well as wanting to tap into that cheap labor source that inconveniently wants to kill them.

But I come to a full and complete stop every time when I reach this point: Rationalism is much indebted to the educated Jew. Even more is the Jew indebted to Rationalism. The only miracle in the history of Israel was performed by Rationalism. All the Bible miracles are nothing in comparison. Rationalism has saved the Jew from his greatest enemy - the Bible.

Says you.
A lot of Christians believe that the Lord will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse it. And they just want to be on the right side of the Lord.
They don't believe that the return of God's people to Israel is all been "spiritualized" and superseded.
A lot of people can do both at the same time, btw.
See, the other side is that people who don't believe that Israel will inherit the land (as Jesus) can accept that God just alters promises--akin to breaking them.

But is it too much to ask that our elected leaders support Israel because of our principles and national interest, and not because Epstein and Israel collected kompromat on our class of elites?
Is it too much to ask that Israel ally itself with us, not merely vice versa, instead of selling our most sensitive national defense to the Kremlin (Jonathan Pollard) just to bring some more of their tribe from Russia to Israel?
Is it too much as that if we decide not to interfere with Israel's acquisition of nuclear bombs, it is because our elected leaders decide that it is our national interest, instead acheiving this by putting a bullet through the head (JFK) of the president who got in their way?

Anyone whining that this is "Hamas propaganda" needs to ask themselves: "Why aren't there pro-Israel Christians in the Holy Land that Jews can call on to tell their side of the story?" Why don't those people exist for some reason? But you might get red-pilled if you start asking that, so be careful.

Not so much. You can also, as in Ukraine, look at a war and just stay out of it. Either because there are no good guys - or it doesn't serve your national interests.
I hope we stay out of this current business in Gaza for a different reason. Because we'll get in the way - and Israel is getting in their own way well enough - of doing the dirty work that needs to be done.

Is it too much to ask that Israel ally itself with us, not merely vice versa, instead of selling our most sensitive national defense to the Kremlin (Jonathan Pollard) just to bring some more of their tribe from Russia to Israel?
Is it too much as that if we decide not to interfere with Israel's acquisition of nuclear bombs, it is because our elected leaders decide that it is our national interest, instead acheiving this by putting a bullet through the head (JFK) of the president who got in their way?

Whenever one of these type threads shows up, contributors are willing to suggest that, maybe in the past, you were in agreement with the focus of the post, but that position has changed.
Here's the thing. Many on this site are, sometimes, just as if not more educated on certain issues than the focus "celebrity" of the post. And, saying things like "So and so is dead to me" implies that before you were a what? "Believer?" (shrugs) many of these media personalities, if not all, aren't worth the time. You have your own brain, and information available at your fingertips that can be evaluated, correlated, and categorized. You DON'T need professional opinion makers to make your decisions. That's why Rush was so successful. He wasn't just giving you a directive on what to believe. He was entertaining in the process.
Use your own heads. Form your own opinions, and don't make talking heads more important in that process than they deserve.

Lots of the revelations in the Bible are this way. Lots of stuff that either we don't get since we don't know the common stories and motifs of the era, or out right mistranslation going between long forgotten languages, to sort-of-understood ancient languages, getting put into modern languages. I explain it to my kids it would be like someone 3,000 years from now trying to understand Star Wars with just the barest mentions, the Force, Jedi Knights, I am your Father. We all know the details because in our minds who doesn't? So no need get to the details. But future peoples will be totally confused and argue for hours over the meaning of Tatooine. Not to mention if lightsaber gets translated to feather sword and correlated to the Wiggles.

The problem is that religion has the highest of ceilings, but is often enough corrupted and brought low to serve the flesh to be "right" and to demand submission as we ourselves spoke for the Lord.
Jesus gave us "servant leadership" and told us not to lord it over each other "like the pagans".
But this is just what men do.
Quoting scripture can be a humble act. We defer to authority that is higher than any we can claim.
I've been watching this Messianic Jew Hebrew scholar who explained (as I summarized it to myself) is that after the destruction of the Temple, the Sadducees--the Levites--lost their station and prominence. There was no more temple to maintain. So the *teachers* (pharisees) took over and steadily de-emphasized any aspect of the temple.
Thus listening to the instruction of the Pharisees/Rabis became what the tradition was like.

This "land acknowledgment" and "reparations" BS is a symptom of the world forgetting that we live in a jungle. Russia, China, and islam understand that we are fools for thinking our way. Russia wants Ukraine, Russia takes Ukraine. They are not going to have "land acknowledgments" forever about it!

1) Buy a ticket to Israel.

3) Go visit Jerusalem.
You'll find modest security in doing so...if you aren't a Palestinian. In fact, Israel welcomes and encourages Christian tourists.

Ace you say that people can criticize Israel, but then again you straight out called Tucker an anti-semite awhile back for doing just that. On the left you can't have positive thoughts about Israel, on the right you can't have negative thoughts about Israel or you're a Hamas loving anti-semite. What a garbage paradigm to live under. The left swallows Hamas propaganda, and the right swallows Israeli propaganda. It's tribal warfare all the way down.
Maybe its because I'm not a gotta-bless-a-manmade-nation-evangelical-strip-mall Christian, but I think it's OK to have negative thoughts about a foreign nation. Especially one we bankroll.
I also think its fine to wonder why the Trump admin seems to have so much energy about going after anti-Jew bigotry, but seems more reserved about anti-White & Christian bigotry (which has been an open secret in academia for years and years). American Jews have largely voted for or supported every left wing political and cultural cause for the past hundred years including communism. Why people on the right need to white knight for these people is beyond me.

There was a time when Israelis bombed the King David Hotel. That time was in the late 40s. And they did call in advance to warn the staff to leave.
Since then ? Only one side has bombed sidewalk cafes. Killed Olympic teams. Dumped US Servicemen dead on the tarmac. Bombed a post nightclub. And a Marine base. And a docked Destroyer. And the Pentagon and a couple sky-scrapers.
Not the Jews. Now I'm sure the Israelis do some dirty intelligence against us. But they ain't bombing anybody that do fly gliders over the fence and bomb them first.

Being called anti-Semitic in 2025 is about as meaningful as being called a racist or a white supremacist in 2025. It's an empty slur used as a substitute for intelligent debate.
Some of my best friends are Semites, actually. Palestinian and Levantine Christians are Semitic people. So I am pro-Semite when it comes to Christians.
I am anti-Dispensationalist. Evangelical Protestant Christians who think that when the Bible uses the word "Israel", it means a group of people who explicitly reject Jesus as Messiah should be allowed to move into the Holy Land from Europe and run the place for themselves. I am incredibly bigoted against those sorts of Christians.

You're also allowed to not care. You probably don't really care about anything happening in Azerbaijan or Lesotho or Indonesia or a hundred other countries.
The anti-semites are overwhelmingly obsessed with the idea that Israelis need to lay down and die. Israel has had every right to glass every square inch of Gaza after Oct 7th until Hamas surrenders unconditionally.
Siding with Hamas is the equivalent of siding with the Japanese after Pearl Harbor or Bin Laden after 9/11. So of course you will come across as an anti-semite, when you're so indoctrinated by Pallywood and Commie propaganda. Normal people do not base their support of Israel's right to exist based on the voting patterns of American Jews.

BS. The theme of your posts on every single thread about Israel is that we're being co-opted or secretly controlled by the Jews. Evangelicals being hoodwinked into support Israel. Your use of "genocide" is conveniently exactly the same as the commies as well. If the aggressor refuses to accept defeat and surrender they've earned their death, just like in Dresden, Berlin, Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki.
Most of the right would support Ukraine razing Russia to the ground in response to being invaded if they had they means to do so and Russia wasn't a nuclear power that could potentially destroy the entire planet. It's not like bombing the Norks, NVA, or Iraq were unpopular opinions when they invaded their neighbors.
But pali terrorists get a special pass from you. They get to murder rape and torture, but daring to retaliate against their heinous actions is genocide.

There are MANY pro-Israel Christians in the Holy Land. In 2023, after the attack, the number of Israel Arabs (Muslim and Christian) supporting Israel reached a 20 year high of 70%. (https://tinyurl.com/42h9d2mr). The fact that you don't know any of this calls ALL of your supposed understanding of Israel entirely into question.
But if you really, really need to hear an Arab Christian from Israel tell you their opinion, listen to the entirety of this speech (https://tinyurl.com/2jh7m9n2). Maybe you'll learn something, athough I'm guessing you won't.

DC Crime Plummets In Just One Week; White Out-of-Towner AWLFs are Angry
Huh -- more cops, less crime. Who would have imagined it? Scott Jennings points out that at the end of a New York Times article, it admits that judges are empowered and encouraged to treat anyone under 25 as a juvenile for sentencing purposes. In other words -- don't sentence anyone 25 or under for serious crime. He points out that most street criminals in DC -- indeed, most criminals throughout history -- are young men, either older teenagers or younger twenty-somethings. When the left embraced "decarceration" and defunding the police, they did not have the strength to do so frontally. The public wouldn't have it. So they got sneaky. They couldn't actually legalize crime, so they passed thousands of "reforms" post George Floyd's heart becoming a Hero for the first time in its life. And the purpose of these reforms was to (I keep saying this, but it's true) legalize crime for black people, but in the guise of "small commonsense reforms." The left complains that black criminals are punished -- they call this the "school to prison pipeline," but they always forget the middle step in that pipeline, "committing a serious, likely violent felony." And they responded by passing "reforms" making it almost impossible to send a young black career street criminal to jail. And of course it's this group that is responsible for 75% of all street crime. This wasn't an accident -- this was the whole point. We are living in the crime-wracked world the left wanted. If you haven't been to DC in a while, you might not know that every bit of grass in the city, from parks to green medians between roads, is now taken over by the homeless in big tent shanty towns. Under Trump's direction, the tent shantytowns have been pulled down and put where they belong, in garbage trucks. There's a video below showing one DC resident marveling that he can finally walk down the street and not see a homeless encampment on the grassy strip beside the street.
The D.C. Police Union released new crime statistics on Monday, showing an 8% drop in overall crime in the nation's capital following President Donald Trump's announcement of a federal takeover of the Washington, D.C., police force last week. According to the union, which represents the Metropolitan Police Department's 3,000 personnel, carjackings are down 83% since federal control was enacted, while robberies dropped 46%. Violent crime fell 22% in the seven days since federal law enforcement began patrolling D.C.'s streets, and car theft came down 21%. Assault with a deadly weapon and property crime are also each down 6%. "While federal assistance gives us a boost, we must repeal the misguided Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Act in order to make these changes permanent," the union wrote on X, Monday morning. The D.C. city council passed the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022 in December of that year. According to USA Today, the measure was voted down by both the House and the Senate after it was submitted for congressional review in January 2023. Then-President Joe Biden vetoed Congress' decision, however, and the law took effect in April 2023. The legislation established restrictions on the use of force, set parameters for the hiring and firing of officers and increased access to disciplinary police records.
Caution on this video, because she drops an n-bomb, but here's what one (black, female) DC resident says: "'Finally able to chill at a red light with my windows down, not worried about if one of them young n***as is coming. Riding through the city -- feeling more safe than I've ever felt."

Wall Street ApesMany people have noticed that most protesters are white liberals, who probably don't even live in DC, given that less than 40% of the town is white. They probably come from the left-wing AWFL NOVA suburbs. That's what this (black, female) resident believes. We Got Receits compiles videos of leftwing AWFL "protesters" being arrested for obstructing justice and assaulting cops and National Guardsmen.
@WallStreetApes This woman worked with a community leader in Washington DC, here's what she has to say about Trump's DC cleanup "Do you not understand that this is what the residents want? I'm not talking about the bougie upper-echelon folks or the bougie Black people living in their gated communities with their new builds. I'm talking about the everyday grandmothers who are dealing with real struggles in their neighborhoods. These grandmothers have to clean up after homeless people urinating and defecating on their steps. They don't feel safe walking in their own communities, where gangs and drug dealers--dope boys--are just standing around the corner. This is the reality they face, and this is what they want addressed. I remember, about five years ago, working with a community leader when someone had just been shot. I can still hear her praying, saying, "Crystal, we're gonna have to invoke the National Guard." At the time, that idea felt so foreign to me. But now, I understand. These people feel helpless in the face of these challenges. I'm so glad that President Trump cares about them--about the everyday grandmothers, not just the privileged few in their isolated communities. These residents want safety and solutions, and they deserve to be heard."

How long to do other major cities?
Sure, some will come back after the national guard leaves, but if you get the repeat offenders who are responsible for most of the crime (thanks to no cash bail), then you will have a vast improvement.

Some states require knowledge or witnessing a felony to invoke that clause. However, some states actually allow it on misdemeanors as well.
I just find the full tilt efforts of blue states to remove it entirely to be coincidental in a non-coincidental kind of way.

The biggest supporters of the Rudy G and Mike Bloomberg hard-line policing of the projects were ... the normal blacks who lived there. They hated the gangs that terrorized the projects. The loudest screechers against that kind of policing was ... AWFLs who lived on the Upper East Side and probably never set foot anywhere near a project.

Bougie behavior can include:
Spending excessively on luxury items and experiences.
Flaunting high-end brands and designer products.
Sharing lavish vacations or experiences on social media.
Using terms like "artisanal" and "hand-crafted" for everyday products.
While "bougie" can be used humorously or critically, it often carries a negative connotation, suggesting an elitist attitude or a desire to appear rich.
Your welcome ;-)

Three of my white friends (possibly a fourth, who was murdered in the blackest part of town, case unsolved) have been victimized by armed blacks, one of them twice. No white person I know has been victimized by an armed white assailant.
This isn't just about black victims, as if it mattered anyway.

That's how a lot of these things start. The mob is at some community event, then they all sort of wander off into some random direction. Then someone's sneaker gets stepped on or a dickhead says something about a guy's woman and the guns come out.
Or they organize over social media and take over a street, then mass rob a shop or something.
What's special about Trump's order that brought this to a halt? More cops on the street?

In the video with the "n" word...trust me on this...it is fine if a black person says it to each other.
As a kid (and now) it was the first word we were told never to say. I still don't.
However, my brothers and I learned that when our main boss, Janie, and the gardener, Willis, were together that Janie yelled this freely to Willis.
This was in the backseat of the station wagon, waiting for our mother to drive them home to the city. Janie always sat next to our mother and we had to sit next to Willis, who was deaf and did not care that Janie yelled at him the entire wait for my mother. She repeatedly yelled at him he was dirty and stank. Willis did not care.
Admittedly he did stink, but whatever. He also had a limp and my grandmother said he put up with toddler me limping along after him in the yard.
Anyway, Janie could peel paint with what she said to him, n word included often. My brother and I learned a new vocabulary from her.
No, I did not have a normal childhood, but was never bored.

Fox news is probably salivating at the thought of videos showing protestors throwing bricks at Guardsmen just standing around.
We don't need to "lay low". They'll make up an excuse to use force if they think they need one. Rising up against illegal occupation is a human right
pissing off the Guardsmen is counterproductive. All they are going to do is go home and tell the rest of the country that DC is a warzone.
Your advice is that DC residents should somehow try to win the hearts and minds of armed soldiers illegally occupying our city with the explicit aim of terrorizing us?

One of our mother's best friends is a black man in his 40's who helps with her yard. He schedules an hour so they can sit and gossip. She's 95 yrs old. He also tells us that he is our adopted brother and we are fine with this (he has a main job in the city, but adores our mother).
Compare this to my late MIL, who probably never knew a black person in her entire life, and voted for Barky because it was "historic."
I've known many black people who are wonderful. Growing up in Dixie, if not a true KKK member (whom we did not know), they were part of life. In school and later (in FL) at work.
They hated the drug culture that budded in the late 70's as much as anyone. Many were also the women raising their grandchildren due to drugs. And why many NFL players buy their mothers or grandmothers homes. Their fathers deserted them for generations. Therefore a nuclear family, of any race, is the best for society.
Some fear being called "uncle Tom's" in the past. They can finally speak with President Trump!

What they found was the “trajectory” in a person’s life is set early, in childhood. Teen years. Stay on the straight and narrow. Stay in school. Don’t do drugs. Don’t have children out of wedlock.
Those things don’t guarantee success. But without them, there is little chance for success.
Leftists are incapable of recognizing cause and effect, it is one of their hallmarks.
Their answer to this phenomenon was to quit arresting teens for crime, and expunging their records at age 18. In effect they have a get out of jail free card. The results not surprisingly are disastrous. They only care about good intentions not results.
They further demand that felons not be “discriminated” against when hiring. This necessarily means passing over more trustworthy individuals in the hiring process. It is complete insanity, they want what never was and never will be, and demand everyone else cater to their fairy tale delusions.

It's not the police uniforms and ANG military uniforms that scare the career criminals into being peaceful. It's the fact that every one of them is armed to the teeth, and are being told that they can bust a cap when necessary.
Luckily, all of those Democrat common-sense gun bans that remove guns from the hands of law-abiding private citizens keep DC from turning into a free-fire zone...

I saw a video the other day of a lady asking black men in cities if Trump should run again. All were black and said they wish he could be President for life. A small sample of less crime.
Redneck example: A white drug thug neck tattoo guy showed up at my brother's house, wanting to use his phone to call his mother. You can't see my brother's house from the road through woods.
My brother, who had a pistol behind his back, said he'll call and called 911. Then he watched this creep walk up the road and called that neighbor. The neighbor was waiting in his LR and cocked his shotgun when the guy rang his bell. The guy heard the shotgun.
Two black deputies of the county arrived and told this guy he was lucky to be alive. His "mother" came.
As they drove off the law told my brother to shoot him next time and save them the trouble! Bro and neighbor laughed.

The current Black Thug Culture is a Donk commie cocksucker creation. WHITE Donks. As usual for Donks, they started building it in the 60s to keep Black America in chains. Before the 60s, Black America was building a strong, vibrant and prosperous Black Culture. It wasn't complete yet, but they were well on the way until the Donks sank their fangs into it with rabble-rousers like the NAACP (formed by a bunch of pasty white people).

She said she talked to them privately to encourage them to keep working hard, but she never felt that was enough.

For decades the media and politicians told us there was no way to get the border under control. We just had to learn to live with the problem. And besides, it wasn't a problem. Trump showed that, legally, it was absolutely possible to get the border under control. That everything they said was essentially a lie.
Now they say, well, you certainly can't clean up the streets in DC. And ...nobody believes their bullshit. Cleaning up DC is a matter of applying the right incentives. Arresting perpetrators, removing homeless encampments. That's it - just no tolerance for the behavior.

The figure overall percentage on total number of crimes. There are way more number of property crimes vs violent crimes. Probably 100 property crimes like shoplifting to every one violent crime like assault. Maybe more.

Woke NFL to Introduce Male Cheerleaders In Attempt to Out-Gay Than Soccer
The NFL is begging for the Bud Light Treatment.
They're already getting "backlash."Two male Vikings cheerleaders don't seem to be taking any of the backlash that they've gotten from some football fans to heart since the team announced their inclusion in the 2025 squad in a post on social media. Blaize Shiek and Louie Conn will be members of the Vikings cheer team, which sparked criticism and even some fans threatening to not be fans of the team anymore. However, Shiek seemed to address the controversy by poking fun at all of the people discussing him. "Wait...did someone say our name?" Shiek wrote in a post on Instagram that included a photo of himself and Conn in their cheer uniforms. The Vikings also responded to the controversy in a statement last week, defending Shiek and Conn. "While many fans may be seeing male cheerleaders for the first time at Vikings games, male cheerleaders have been part of previous Vikings teams and have long been associated with collegiate and professional cheerleading," the team said in a statement.I know that college squads feature male cheerleaders. These "cheerleaders" don't dance like girls, though, and don't wear girlish costumes and bippy-shorts. They mostly do things like shouting for one team to kill the other team and throw tiny girls dangerously high into the air. You know, manly stuff.
"In 2025, approximately one-third of NFL teams have male cheerleaders. Every member of the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders program has an impressive dance background and went through the same rigorous audition process. Individuals were selected because of their talent, passion for dance and dedication to elevating the game day experience. We support all our cheerleaders and are proud of the role they play as ambassadors of the organization." The Rams are said to have been the first NFL team to include men on their cheerleading squad back in 2018.
That's not the kind of cheerleader the NFL is bringing in, of course. They are bringing in the dancingest, swishiest, gayest male cheerleader you can imagine. Because every moment in your life must be devoted to Centering Queerness. Any moment not spent Centering Queerness is a wasted moment you'll never get back.

In an age where every individual curates their own media diet, the collapse of the monoculture has led to more than just fractured tastes; it has made broad cultural adoption nearly impossible. No longer are Americans collectively tuned into the same primetime sitcoms, watching the same cable news shows, or even encountering the same commercials. And this diffusion of attention means experiments in reshaping cultural norms often fail not because of a coordinated backlash, but because of the algorithmic echo chambers they inadvertently land in. The recent attempt of an NFL team to introduce male cheerleaders is the latest example of a media-era experiment caught in the wrong feedback loop -- one where outrage, not support, dominated the reception. The Minnesota Vikings prominently featured male cheerleaders Louie and Blazie on their social media and official website, making the men a staple of their 2025-2026 session squad. Pompoms in hand, video emphasizes these dudes as "the next generation of cheer" while using their team's women as background characters. ...
Twelve NFL teams are reportedly incorporating male cheerleaders this season -- the Minnesota Vikings, the Baltimore Ravens, the Los Angeles Rams, the New Orleans Saints, the Philadelphia Eagles, the San Francisco 49ers, the New England Patriots, the Tennessee Titans, the Indianapolis Colts, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Carolina Panthers. More than 30 percent of the league will feature cheer teams in which men take a spot away from women, The Spun reported Tuesday. This fact suggests this isn't a one-off or a publicity stunt. It's coordinated. And it forces a more serious question: is this really the cultural front the left wants to fight on -- especially after losing male voters by double digits? ... The confusion isn't about "tolerance." Most people aren't up in arms because they can't stand the sight of a man doing high kicks. It's more basic than that. Given that cheerleading squads were introduced to capture and hold the attention of the mostly male fan base, it's the creeping feeling that the male attraction to female beauty is being impugned, that the rules are being rewritten in real time, and no one asked if we were okay with it. ... Ultimately, this moment isn't about cheerleaders. It's about holding on to the last vestiges of collective entertainment. Americans must trust that something as simple as watching football on a Sunday won’t come with a lecture or a re-education campaign dressed up in glitter. Because if it does, they will vote with their remote and turn off the TV. You can only bend the culture so far before it stops cheering with you -- and starts booing.

And here we are. If you’ve swore of sports because of it, well that’s a win. If they gay it up the way they have, well that’s a win, too.

If the argument is we love gender based roles and should stick to those (and let me tell you, I love many, many gender based roles), we should make that as the reason. But the argument here is not a man pretending to be a woman trying to be a cheerleader. This is men, who have been dancing their whole lives, joining a dance squad with women who have been dancing their whole lives.
Go team.

The initiative marks the 24th year of Everybody Reads, the library’s communitywide reading project that uses literature to spark dialogue and bring Portlanders together for discussion.
And the masterwork that they will be discussing this year?
Multnomah County Library has selected “Lovely One: A Memoir” by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as the 2026 Everybody Reads book.
I haven't checked, but I bet that they have never selected Justice Thomas' autobiography.

Strip bars in the 80's were a nice change of pace. Then females needed to copy our BRILLIANT idea and create their own strip bars.
Construction workers used to switch out to the traffic flagman duty for a break, then rotate back into the real work. Then females decided they wanted to tell people what to do and secured full time jobs waving flags at lined up vehicles.
Now, they're messing with the NFL but making 300lb lineman wear pink headbands, and fruity girly boys dancing around where there should be some grade A, prime choice sweater meat.

I think the argument is simple.
People have been paying top dollar for these events, based on a presumption of football (and to a probably very minor extent for dudes, pointy elbows) not social justice hectoring.
Over the last decade, the NFL is changing that product to more social justice hectoring and less football and fewer pointy elbows. NOW, on top of that diminishing return, you add gay dudes shaking their asses in the face of these clearly, predominantly hetero crowds.
I don't think anyone would be complaining about gay dudes shaking their asses in gay clubs or theaters, because THAT is expected when you pays your money.

The ass spelunkers are obviously not a big enough market to risk losing long time fans pursuing. I think it's about chicks. I think they're calculating that they can pick up more chick marketshare with Tay Tay and fag stuff than they'll lose among their core male sports-addict audience.
But I think it's a bad bet long term. Chicks might watch a few games for pop star romance drama or to see some jizz-lipped fairy boy prance around like one of the girls. But they'll move on almost immediately. The core female audience, such as they exist, are women with families and they won't like these retarded stunts so much.

"Despite its modern association with women, cheerleading started in the mid-19th century as what was considered a masculine sport — an ideal pastime for charismatic, athletic young men. Women were actively excluded at first, but started taking the field during World War II when many college-aged men were fighting abroad, and they didn’t really overtake the sport until the 1960s; as women cheerleaders became more common, the sport was trivialized and viewed as not athletic enough for men. So even though the United States has not had a female president, it’s not necessarily surprising that four former occupants of the White House — Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush — spent time hyping up a crowd as cheerleaders for their school sports teams."

This is the problem with that Minnesota male skit...he is dancing a women's dance and role, not a male one, and thus looks wildly gay. Thankfully, he doesn't look trans, so we're improving...but feminine gay is not much improvement.
As Ace mentioned, if teams want male cheerleaders, have them be impressive doing male stuff. I want front and back flips, back handsprings, leaps a mile high, tosses up and down, and other crazy stuff male cheerleaders can do that female cheerleaders can't.

And there it is. It's not about the gay. It's about the destruction of that cultural identity. One nation, one national identity, one people. A melting pot, if you will. Indivisible.
They started with hyphens. Then discouraging assimilation. Then demanding that the culture and language and religious beliefs of the immigrants be respected and embraced by everyone else.
That's all the victim groups are. Just another way to sow enmity and division.

The capitalism part starts based on how the fans react. If there is blowback and a drop in revenue, it will be phased out. It's the perfect experiment in that getting the cheerleading job requires a competition among other applicants (which means the "experiment" might be gone by next season). On the other hand, if revenues increase this year, we may see more of the girlyboys next year.
It's the NFL's business to succeed or fail. It's not mine. So, if they want to have a three legged zebra with autism in their cheerleading squad, so be it. It's theirs to win or lose.

Emmitt Smith played 3 quarters with a dislocated shoulder cuz they needed the win to win the division. The Giants shut down the rest of the offense cuz they knew he was injured so he got something like 60% of the touches after his injury.

My sister was the insurance agent for the Cowboys during the Landry years. Harvey Martin used to pick me up and put me on his shoulder with one hand when I was little, and I played with Too Tall's kids. Tom Landry was a class act and I haven't watched the Cowboys (or much NFL) since Jerry Jones fired him and defiled the team, especially when he made Barry Switzer head coach. That was rubbing noses in poop.

Well, here's the thing: I think this is exactly what they are doing. These guys aren't hired to be male dancers like you'd hire men to dance ballet or even urban in a Michael Jackson video. They are men pretending to be women, dancing like women, and taking women's jobs. Nobody wants to see a guy prancing around with pom-poms.

I read a detective novel in a dystopian world where the muslims had taken over much of the US. There was still football, with the violence of the 60's version back. I don't remember if there were cheerleaders in burkas though.

NFL fans are going to watch NFL games no matter what else is put on the screen in addition to the game. The new male cheerleaders could sashay out to the center of the field with their naked dicks swing around, and NFL fans will still watch.
My dad was a big NFL fan. I could never care less. Oh, he would bitch and moan about all the dumb shit the league did and the woke BLM stuff. But he watched anyway.

Its worse than that. They don't CARE what anyone wants--they're doing it to virtue signal. And they'll demand *compliance* from any and all while they virtue signal--there will be scarcely heard a voice on a nationally syndicated sports talk show pointing out how stupid this is. ALL of the national guys will keep quiet. And only a few of the local guys will have the balls to tell the truth about this topic.

I suppose this is "The Big Democrat Fuck You Normies and Trump Victory" for 2025,
cuz nobody, absolutely nobody who watches football was asking for this.
Welp, enjoy the sweet smell of ass and pink socks NFL, because this is going to cost you, Bud Light-style.
As I said yesterday, lots of people watch football as a family activity.
How many of them want to explain metal ill sexually confused lunatics to their kids while watching "family entertainment"?
That would be 0.00%.

My sister was the insurance agent for the Cowboys during the Landry years. Harvey Martin used to pick me up and put me on his shoulder with one hand when I was little, and I played with Too Tall's kids. Tom Landry was a class act and I haven't watched the Cowboys (or much NFL) since Jerry Jones fired him and defiled the team, especially when he made Barry Switzer head coach. That was rubbing noses in poop.
You lucky dog. My dad gave me a Cowboys team picture of the 1976 team; i had it memorized by jersey number. I was six. I loved that team.
Then that sh*t eating grinned rich a**hole fired Tom Landry; haven't watched a minute of NFL since. I think this whole cheerleader thing is hilarious. I wish Tim Walz would try out for the squad.

Cameras Catch a Michigan City Council Member Stuffing the Drop Boxes at Night
That thing that never happens just keeps happening.
In the days before the August 5 primary election in the troubled city of Hamtramck, Michigan, surveillance videos caught several people allegedly stuffing the municipal ballot drop box with suspicious ballots. An August 1 video shows two men in a car handling stacks of ballots and placing them into Hamtramck's drop box during the day. In another video, a pickup truck arrives at the drop box after dark with three people inside. The driver gets out of the truck and crams stacks of ballots into the box but has trouble because the box is so full. Stuffing drop boxes while no one watching for cheaters is a recipe for election corruption. That is why President Donald Trump announced this week he will lead a movement to get rid of mail-in ballots, which can be cast by using a drop box. Trump also wants to stop using voting machines and return to voting with paper ballots. Big dumps of ballots are suspicious because Michigan election law allows ballots to be dropped off only by the individual voter, a member of the voter's immediate family, or someone living in the voter's home. Local news reported that Abu Musa, an incumbent city council member who is up for reelection, appeared to be in both vehicles caught on video. But the identities of the people in the vehicles have not been confirmed by officials, and no charges have been filed. ... Musa received 1,129 votes, winning the primary with 13 percent of the vote. Residency is required to hold office as a city councilor. The weekly Hamtramck Review reports that Musa's wife and two daughters live in another town, yet Musa says he lives in another home in Hamtramck and is not separated from his wife. Musa and city councilor Mohammed Al-Somiri were named in a 2023 election fraud case but were not charged. Others named in that case are city councilors Muhtasin Sadman and Mohammed Hassan, who were charged last week for election fraud, specifically two felonies each: forging a signature on an absentee ballot application and forgery under Michigan's election law, Michigan Public reported. As Logan Washburn reported for The Federalist last year, investigative reporters at Project Veritas heard officials may be ballot harvesting and bullying people for their ballots in Hamtramck, so it investigated. Project Veritas contacted Musa and city councilman Mohammed Hassan and offered to connect them with blank ballots from immigrants who didn't know how to fill them out, so the ballots would not go to waste. Neither man rejected the offer and both knew how to get the ballots counted.
The Third-Worldization of America is almost complete. It's not fair that America should be an orderly, law-abiding, prosperous, high-trust society when the rest of the world is disorderly, crime-ridden, poor, and low-trust, so we'll just have to Make America the Middle East.

My hypothesis has long been, similar to the Keynesians believing they could short circuit the business cycle and maintain permanent prosperity by tweaking the right economic levers, Leftists could no longer abide by periodic, wholesale rejection of their schemes - Nixon in 1972, and Reagan in 1980
As the old saying goes, Whitey don’t riot, he just votes Republican.
So a massive, comprehensive and pervasive cheat program ensued, coupled with massive illegal migration. The main thing this did, was allow Democrats to Let Their Freak Flag Fly.
This became glaringly obvious in recent decades. They no longer had to comcern themselves with appearing to care for the electorate, or compromise, or anything resembling politics. They assumed they had a lock on everything and further, would never be held accountable for any of their atrocities. Frightening.

You cannot over-exaggerate how biased and dishonest they are.
it's not just the excessive use of negative language toward Trump, it's the deliberate hyper-technical limited "facts" they use.
But, my favorite was claiming they did an extensive review of 2020 and found less than 500 cases of vote fraud.
In an election where nearly 150 million ballots were cast, only 500 were not valid? 0.00033%
That's literally impossible; that number is so small.
I don't even think the finest mill could cut a driveshaft that perfectly round.
But, of course, they don't tell the reader how the reached that number.
You can be assured, it's a very narrow definition. I'll bet $10 it's actual convictions and sentencing for vote fraud.
Nothing about the illegal changes to election laws; nothing about the illegal counting; nothing about the 15 million phantom ballots for the D that disappeared b/w 2020 and 2024

I've scanned both the VRA of 1965 and the 2002 Help America Vote Act.
The HAVA includes a lot of language about transparent, from the outside, ballot tracking, including assurances to the voters that they've been counted. It also includes some references to mail in voting, as long as it is in compliance with the VRA of 1965.
The VRA doesn't include mail in voting requirements (it mentions mail twice, both regarding challenge procedures).
The way I read things, Trump's EO attacking mail in voting could have legal merit, possibly. Especially if the focus is on the opacity of the processes around counting and collection.

The problem is, once you drop a ballot in a box, it's basically impossible to get that ballot removed.
It's also much harder to do in person voting fraud. Way back when, they would bus people around. It would be almost impossible in today's age to get away with that with social media.
It's also a very low risk crime to simply drop a ballot in an unmonitored box.
If though you attempt to actually vote in person, you're much more vulnerable to getting caught.

“Mail In Voting” isn’t really correct. They have dispensed with the mail, in favor of unsecured “drop boxes” installed in myriad locations that have nothing to do with USPS.
The judges allowing for all this fraud is not a prescription for confidence going forward. I’ve no doubt some of them are in fear for their lives, and don’t want mobs of unhinged leftists showing up at their homes.
But, politics ain’t beanbag. Women, children, and revenuers get outta the way, as the saying goes.

More than 60 years of federal law telling states how to run federal elections makes this line of argument hilariously wrong.
And yet, that could just be an argument that says the Feds have been overreaching all along. Say, for example, with the VRA. It will be interesting.

The first time you run out of ballots, the elected official in charge of that voting precinct is executed on the spot. No questions asked. No explanations accepted.
You know how many registered voters there are. No excuses for running out.

there's an easy fix to this. ALL ballots are numbered, each precinct shall have a ballot for each registered voter, plus 5% for incidents. any failure to have all the ballots available shall result in 5 years jail and a $500,000 for the first offence while being barred from public office or election activities for the remainder of your natural born life.
A variance between ballots provided, ballots cast, and voters present and checked in physically, shall result in 20 years jail and $10,000,000 while being barred from public office or election activities for the remainder of your natural born life.
Additionally, any variance between the above spoils that precinct and forfeits the entire vote. period. end of story. get it right, or you don't vote. Any one caught intentionally attempting to spoil a precinct shall be executed as treasonous to the United States.

Federal officials, in public and in federal courtrooms, are lying about the existence of video footage from the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
Utah Attorney Jesse Trentadue believes his brother was interrogated and tortured to death in August 1995 because federal authorities mistakenly thought he was “John Doe #2” in the Oklahoma City Bombing.
Even though multiple eyewitnesses noticed two men exiting the Ryder truck transporting the bomb to the Alfred P. Murrah building that day, the narrative from federal officials is firm that McVeigh acted alone while in Oklahoma City.
-------
Personal note: I lived in Oklahoma City at the time of the bombing and can CONFIRM that the local networks ran "Wanted" style postings for TWO men in the immediate aftermath of the bombing, and that the 2nd man appeared to be dark skinned (as in hispanic, native American, etc). Yet the narrative quickly changed to "McVey acted alone".

The Democratic arty absolutely stole that election, it's on film, everyone knows it, and yet they "got away with it."

One thing though I was glad Trump did, was embrace it as it was simply a political reality. Previously he did this self defeating "dont vote by mail" that absolutely hurt us in 2020 and 2022.
I want mail in voting outlawed wherever possible but as long as its legal, we need to do it.

Yes, the legal, judicial left is obviously stupid enough to go down this path to pwn Trump.
The only short term path right now, though, is gutting parts of the VRA (the majority minority districts), not the whole edifice of federal oversight of federal elections. Anything beyond that will take probably years more, though a SCOTUS opinion saying, "the VRA, NVRA, and HAVA are all unconstitutional," would be amusing.
Still, the most important parts are the requirements around voter rolls, especially their maintenance as laid out in HAVA. DOJ is focusing on it under Harmeet Dhillon.

The Constitution permits Congress to place limits on the ability of states to run their own elections. Congress has done so, a number of times. No doubt Trump's EO is making use of one of the times that Congress has limited states abilities to control things.
However, there is also no doubt that the argument that Democrats will make is that elections are for the states to run and judges in the cheat states will slap injunctions on it. Need more than one judge, of course, because they couldn't help themselves and SCOTUS finally slapped them down - a bit.

This is also true. Article I, Section 4:

Posted by: AltonJackson at August 19, 2025 12:42 PM (tljrc)
And the way that they stop it is to tell the very long line of people waiting to vote to remain in line for the several hours necessary to find some ballots. Don't leave the line, not even to use the bathroom. It's super vital.
Or... we could have early voting and that resolves all of this since they cannot fuck over a single precinct for multiple days. Then you just need people in place to ensure that votes counted are votes case and nothing gets manipulated. Of course, judges will just bar Republicans from watching but, as I've said, the Democrats will cheat.

These are relative numbers. In absolute numbers, they crashed:
"One of the most noticeable trends this year was the sharp decline in mail-in voting, particularly in states that enacted significant barriers to absentee ballots..
Similarly, Florida – a state known for its high rate of mail voting – saw a drop in absentee ballots after the passage of S.B. 90, which introduced stricter ID requirements and reduced the number of drop-off locations. In 2020, Florida had over 4.8 million mail ballots (44% of total ballots). In 2024, that number fell to just over 3 million (28%)."

While I was waiting to vote in '24, the woman behind me had just moved to Texas from Oregon (or maybe Washington) and bitched throughout the entire wait about in her old state they just sent you a ballot without you even having to ask. Oh, it was so convenient. Texas is so backward. Blah, blah, blah.

Active duty military allowed to vote on base (or if deployed by mail). Not counting those ballots is 10/years in prison per ballot for the SoS of that state. To vote by mail you must submit a request at least 6 months in advance and you must prove you can't stand in a line to vote.
All voter registrations are burned every 4 years.

"One of the most noticeable trends this year was the sharp decline in mail-in voting, particularly in states that enacted significant barriers to absentee ballots..
Similarly, Florida – a state known for its high rate of mail voting – saw a drop in absentee ballots after the passage of S.B. 90, which introduced stricter ID requirements and reduced the number of drop-off locations. In 2020, Florida had over 4.8 million mail ballots (44% of total ballots). In 2024, that number fell to just over 3 million (28%)."

That would be a big improvement on what we have now, but why support early voting?
I legit think the Constitution in pretty clear Election Day is supposed to be only held on a single day, but if you want to be crass about it, the Dem machine is better at finding voters and taking them to the polls over a long time period (think illegal aliens, felons, homeless, bogus people) etc than Republcans are.
And what about blue districts that allow the early in person voting? Think they are "by the book"?
It's simply much harder to steal an election when you have a small window to perpetrate a fraud.

Where several states removed all safeguards, all verification mandated by law and mailed out ballots to every registered voter and accepted any and all ballots returned
So, they only discuss regular, normal absentee ballots and demand the reader not look at how none of those procedures and safeguards applied to 2020 or 2022.
But, real world: At least 15 million of those mail-in ballots returned in 2020 were fraudulent. That's indisputable.

All you need is a corrupt SofS and AG in the state, and they can eventually make up vote counts and certify them without intervention as legit. No more pesky ballot stuffing required. If you think this is not possible, think about Colorado's SofS removing Trump from the ballot without cause. Same with Maine.

I just voted yesterday in a by-election to elect Pierre Poilievre as MP for my riding (he won with 80% of the votes cast). Paper ballot, from a pad that was serialized. After marking my ballot, handed the folded ballot to the poll worker, who tore off the serialized strip, and handed back the now-anonymous ballot to me to drop into the box. Incidentally, the Commie-fag-proggie axis ran hundreds of nobodies as independent candidates, same tactic as they did against Pierre in the general election. But they were foiled here. Ballot was a blank piece of paper onto which we had to print the name of our preferred candidate: first name, last name (and party affiliation, should there be duplicate or similar names). Most of the bogus candidates got zero or 1 vote.

Voting has an end time. It must be inviolate. If your voting ends at 8pm then it ends at 8pm. I also have no objection to limiting the early voting period to the week before the election.
In a perfect world, assuming some omnipotent outside agency to run voting with an untamperable machine, I would have voting run for at least two weeks, preferably a month, with the whole country starting voting and ending voting at the exact same time. Ten minutes of grace for anyone who had started voting at the cutoff. No extensions... you had a month. Results posted everywhere after 15 minutes.
Sadly, that doesn't exist.

Over 99 million votes were mail in 2024. Nearly 1 in 3.

Canada has advance polls, usually a week and 2 weeks before Voting Day. And you have to appear in person. There are some reasonable provisions for shut-in folks, too, I think. No mail-in, no drop boxes.

A while back, one of my very rich but very lonely clients did that high-end matchmaking service thing. He wasn't the greatest looking guy, but he was presentable, genuinely looking for a real relationship, and very rich.
His "specs" for the match were basically 25-40 (he was in his 50s), Jewish, not overly political or religious, at least average looks, and not fucking batshit crazy.
You would not believe the matches he got. Pretty much the opposite of what he was looking for.

Getting access to a ballot should be the same, or more difficult.
People go through agonizing hoops and hurdles to buy shit online, access money or pR0n, by guns or booze, medications and a whole host of other things.
Voting should be as hard, if not harder with respect to keeping ballots out of the hands of people who shouldn't have one.

Most other countries only answer one question. Which party for Parliament. I've had ballots with over 50. If people show up who haven't already decided how they're gonna vote on an issue, they tie up voting stations. Or maybe they tie them up to prevent large numbers of people from voting in that district.

I tried one of those once. Ended up with a good looking Latin American (legal) immigrant and in the end things didn't work out but we were together for a while.
Of course I had to tell the matchmaker not just no, but hell no, when she wanted to fix me up with a Muslim doctorette.

Mail-in ballots are a massive fraud vector. That’s why almost no OECD or modernized nation uses them. There is study after study proving it. Where they are used they are highly regulated. There is also no “harvesting” allowed.
Republican use went up because we encouraged it as a party after we kept getting our asses kicked in states where Democrats were blatantly abusing the system. Places like NY and California have almost zero safeguards against mail in fraud. They actually have written into election law you can’t make sure the voter is a legal resident. Pray tell, why would you do that? Rhetorically, it’s because their entire state election system operates on fraud. Period.

I'm curious about the harvesting. I assume it's union workers going door to door after election day to people who hadn't mailed their ballots in. Then they get lied to or pressured to hand over the blank ballot which gets filled out by the union workers and then transported to election central to get counted as mailed late or 'found' ballots. The effort ceases as soon as enough ballots are harvested for the union's preferred candidate.

Over 99 million votes were mail in 2024. Nearly 1 in 3.
That's not "popular" in your world?
It went down over Covid laws changing, but it's still a way a lot of people prefer to vote.
I'm all for ignoring this popularity anyway, but I'm not ignoring a lot of people seem to prefer it.
Posted by: Leupold at August 19, 2025 01:09 PM (4pwAx)
=======
It was 88 million total early votes, only half of which were mail in.
Out of that 43 million, almost half came from the three states that require it: CA, WA, and CO. And a bunch of states that don't have any early in person voting like Maine.
If we're to assume that those three states would have similar results at other states, that would end up dropping the total mail in votes to about 30 million.
Roughly 10% of the whole population and about 20% of the electorate of 150 million.
Mail in voting is mostly just popular with Democrats. As I said in comment 125.

It's just a dumb thing to argue. I'm not sure why you seem to have some sort of personal problem with me, but all I said was Republican mail in voting went up in 2024 (which it did), overall main in voting went down (which it did) but it's still popular way to vote (which it is)
And your "hot take" is it's "mostly just popular with Democrats!" and any other perspective must be wrong and argued with.
And heres the US Postal service saying 99+ million mail in ballots, so someone's wrong here on their numbers.

Perhaps because he understands basic logic and you keep conflating an increase in that type of voting with it being popular. Correlation does not equal causation.
Irrespective, I don’t care if it’s popular. There are reams of studies and examples showing it’s a fraud vector. No voting system with any integrity allows it in the manner Democrat states allow it. Period. There’s a reason for that.

Apparently, early (or advance) voting in the US first started in 1921. That's 104 years ago, not just a couple cycles.
The idea that everyone has always just schlepped on down to the polling location on election day cuz that's how people remember it is just not correct.

Advance polls are for those who might be travelling on Election Day, or otherwise unable to reach a polling place. In the bigger cities, they have polling places set up, often in schools and other public buildings, and in each neighborhood. Might be several hundred such in a big city. Where I live, near a town of 1200 people, the poll was in the community hall. I had to drive a whole 3 miles, and waited exactly zero minutes to get a ballot.

I had a small vial of little aluminum balls that I found when cleaning out a chem lab. When shaken, the aluminum balls would transfer electrons from the aluminum to the glass of the vial, causing the aluminum to be repelled from each other and stick to the glass walls. It was a cool demonstration electron transfer and static charge buildup. It's around here somewhere.

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year, and such Meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by Law appoint a different Day.

Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

Vote dilution by illegal acts by a jurisidiction (and that would include organized cheating) affecting results by race has been held to be a Voting Rights Act violation and the Congress has the power to enact such a law. It has always been applied to minorities mostly but that is actually not the wording of the VRA nor the 15th Amendment.

Advanced voting was not common in most states before the 1980's (partially due to the costs and personnel needed) and absentee ballots almost always required a written excuse why the elector would not be present.
And Congress itself has the power to restrict absentee and early voting for federal offices as seen above in Article I.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
Special U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff said Sunday that Russian leader Vladimir Putin agreed at his summit with President Donald Trump to allow the U.S. and European allies to offer Ukraine a security guarantee resembling NATO’s collective defense mandate as part of an eventual deal to end the 3 1/2-year war. “We were able to win the following concession: That the United States could offer Article 5-like protection, which is one of the real reasons why Ukraine wants to be in NATO," he said on CNN's “State of the Union.” He added that it "was the first time we had ever heard the Russians agree to that.”
If "security guarantee" means selling American arms to Europe and Ukraine, then I'm all for it. But if it means some sort of informal membership in NATO for Ukraine, which is EXACTLY what "Article 5-like protection" means, then no. No. NO! Let Europe protect Ukraine. Let them risk their soldiers. Let them risk their cities. Let them risk a charming little tactical nuke exchange with Russia. But keep America out of it. We have done enough for the security of Europe, and it is time for them to put their big-boy pants on and defend themselves, and whatever shared culture they have left (aside from Pakistani rape gangs). Trump doesn't rule out sending US troops to Ukraine as part of peacekeeping efforts: 'We'll be involved'
Speaking during a brief media availability alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office, Trump told reporters that both Europe and the United States would be involved in securing a post-war peace for Ukraine, but he refused to say outright that American troops would not be put on the ground to maintain that peace.Et Tu Donald? No American boots on the ground. Let some hapless Belgian battalion be the tripwire for another European war. Or even better, make it some pathetic United Nations blue-helmeted rapist battalion, so they get their balls shot off by the Russians if and when they decide to take a bigger chunk of Ukraine. But I don't care... as long as it isn't American blood and treasure being expended for the miserable post-modern cowards of Europe.

I can tell you exactly what this "security guarantee" is worth: that white roll of paper usually found perched next to toilet bowls. Why do you think the Russians would agree to it? Because they know it's as phony as Dylan Mulvaney's coochie.
NATO is dead. Everyone knows it. Russia could invade half the NATO countries and the rest of them would do ... nothing. The USA is gonna go to war with Russia (or China) over Albania? Estonia? Montenegro? Latvia? Greece? Fucking Turkey? Turkey is likely to invade Greece more than be invaded itself.

Non-Intervention is not the same as “Isolationist”; a word coined specifically for strawman arguments. It is true that America wanted nothing to do with another European civil war in the 1930s. And who can blame them? America was founded, in part, specifically to get away from those clowns.
The people who always talk publicly about “American Values” don’t seem to like any of the enumerated rights in our constitution. They talk in vague, anodyne terms about “freedom” and “democracy” but always come down on the side of authoritarian ass-hats. Censorship and criticism of government especially, ist Verboten.

The next shoe may be about to drop.
For weeks now, a bunch of motley radicals have been besieging the Portland ICE office late into the night, using amplified sound to harass the Federal cops guarding the building.
There are apartment buildings nearby, and an enraged resident sued the city over its failure to enforce noise codes.
The city had senior police officers testify that enforcing the noise codes is optional, and a judge ruled in favor of the city.
Last night, a stolen car was driven next to the ICE building, was stopped, and the driver fled.
The car was searched, and nothing was found, but that sure looks like a dry run for a car bombing.

And no, none, nada rebuilding of their now fucked up country, unless there's a real, tangible benefit for us. If they go to war against us, they need to accept the consequences of that action.
Perhaps, they could pay us for our costs though, with mineral rights or oil. Some such thing. I have to think about that as I'm in favorite of blow shit up-they surrender-we go home.

I like the notion of "Our military will have only one order. Win the battle. If this means we destroy anything bigger than a grain of sand then we'll break out every weapon we have to make that happen. Will not accept anything weaker than unconditional surrender. When it is over, we will claim all natural resources as payment for services rendered.

It stretches from Fort Worth, around Arlington and over to Dallas. It's the typical egregious gerrymandering to create majority-minority districts.
For reference, recall the map that shows DFW is as big as the whole state of CT.
Anyway, the new map also carves up Crockett' district. Veasey won't run in the new 33rd.
Crockett says she might, but she has no base there.
The current Republican candidate for the new 33rd will be Payton Jackson.

There are apartment buildings nearby, and an enraged resident sued the city over its failure to enforce noise codes.
The city had senior police officers testify that enforcing the noise codes is optional, and a judge ruled in favor of the city.
Last night, a stolen car was driven next to the ICE building, was stopped, and the driver fled.
The car was searched, and nothing was found, but that sure looks like a dry run for a car bombing.

I commented on this yesterday. The video I saw showed it was *extremely* dangerous for law enforcement--there were literally a hundred or so "protestors", most wearing masks and/or filtration masks, it was damn near too dark to see, its just a recipe for disaster that law enforcement has to face them night after night.

3. The EU countries are filled with people who will not fight for the EU countries. Adding their native men to their militaries only makes their problems worse.

The NATO talk was just a pretense. Russia's actions have been to expand their footprint whenever possible to achieve a desired security parameter. A couple of things have happened. One, he realizes, as well as we do, that his armed forces are no longer elite. As much as drone technology has changed the US tank planning, it also impacts mass artillery formations, which is Russia's favorite mode of fighting. He realizes that it is most likely that the democrats will not sit in the WH for the next 10 years, meaning any additional advancement might be an issue.
He saw what we did to Iran's nuke program. So he will concede NATO if he can get a bit more land in the settlement.

Putin's a nasty dictator.
My point is more that this entire war is a massive mess, at least partly caused by the malfeasance of our and Europe's feckless leaders.
That doesn't mean I support the war, Ukraine, or Russia. It means I think everyone involved is filthy.

Increase in military budget since 2020
Sweden: Sweden's military budget has significantly increased since 2020, doubling to SEK 120 billion ($11 billion USD) by 2024
Norway: In 2024, Norway spent an estimated 2.2% of its GDP on defense, and aims to spend 3.3% in 2025.
The Norwegian parliament approved a multi-year plan (2025-2036) committing an additional NOK 611 billion (€61 billion) to military modernization and defense strengthening.
Norway is working towards reaching a 5% target (3.5% on traditional defense and 1.5% on broader security) for defense spending in the years following 2030
Finland:2020: military spending was $3.87 billion USD.
2023: Military spending rose to $7.35 billion USD, representing a 65.26% increase from 2022.
2024: The defense budget reached €6.19bn ($6.58 billion USD), according to IIISS. This constitutes about 2.3% of Finland's GDP.
Plans: Finland plans to further increase to 3% by 2029

Yep - you do that by making it problematic for them to keep trying to plug their perceived security gaps. Russia's territorial and security ambitions are a massive part of this situation. Were the discussions about NATA expansion from the Biden administration also to blame? Of course. They were stupid. But you will only get short term solutions, because what Putin (and Russia) really want, no one will agree to.
For Ukraine wanting official membership in NATO, seeing what has happened, and conceding Ukraine has a lot of self inflicted wounds, they had a reason to want it. And we had a reason to at least think about it.

If Trump agrees to a US guarantee of Ukrainian security, it's not 4D chess. It's not wheels within wheels. It's just a disastrous mistake.
In combination, two things have kept us out of the war. Public opinion, and the lack of any clear casus belli.
If he establishes this guarantee, the #ForeverWar faction of the Deep State will have their casus belli, and won't be hampered by public opinion when the time comes to hammer a wedge into that crack and open up a battlefront.
Even if they have to shoot a bunch of prisoners, dress them in Russian uniforms, and scatter their bodies around a Uke radio station, they'll have their war.

The radical madness in Loudoun County, Virginia, just hit a new low. Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) has decided to SUSPEND two boys at Stone Bridge High School, not because they misbehaved, not because they broke the law, but because they dared to ask why a girl was in the boys’ locker room.
7News reported earlier this year that LCPS launched a Title IX investigation against the boys after they were caught on video asking the obvious question: Why is there a girl in the boys’ locker room?
That video, however, wasn’t recorded by the boys; it was recorded by the female student who identifies as male. A direct violation of LCPS policy, according to the news outlet.

I tend to agree, because once Ukraine was invaded Poland went to work upgrading their defense posture. They gave up old cruddy Warsaw Pact weapons to Ukraine, and got nice new shiny US ones. With what we have seen from Russia, I think Poland would beat them in a straight up fight.
None of this precludes the reality that if Russia thought she could take them - say after in some alternate reality they took over Ukraine - Russia would try. But Poland is not a hardened target. Heck, Poland could probably take Germany right now.

In 2020, Estonia's defense budget was $718.11 million USD.
By 2023, this increased to $1.19 billion USD, representing a 45.37% increase from 2022 alone.
Estonia's defense spending as a percentage of GDP was 2.3% in 2020. It reached 2.87% in 2023. The government has approved further increases, aiming to reach an average of 5.4% of GDP through 2029.
Latvia: Increased spending as a percentage of GDP: Latvia has not only increased its military spending in absolute terms but also as a proportion of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In 2023, the ratio of military expenditure to GDP was 2.27 percent. This is a significant increase from 2014, when it was only 0.94%. Furthermore, Latvia's 2025 defense budget is projected to reach 3.65% of GDP, or 1,559,433,634 EUR.
Lithuania: 2020: military budget was $1.17 billion.
2023: The budget increased to $2.16 billion.
2025: Lithuania's budget allocates €2.617 billion for defense. This will increase to €3.2 billion, or 3.93% of GDP. defense spending should increase to between 5% and 6% of GDP over the next five years, which amounts to approximately €12 billion

Where "pro Russia shit" equals recognition that Russia has foreign policy goals and security interests of its own that it is pursuing.
Russia's war may not be noble, but it is explicable, rational. Rather more so than trying to bring whiskey, sexy, and democracy to Iraq, for example.
Trying to establish any sort of lasting peace there is going to require an acknowledgment of Russia's goals and concerns, even if they are not shared.

And yet they didn't want it until we ran a coup in Ukraine in 2014 and replaced a government that was more aligned with Russia with one more aligned with the west. It's not being pro-Putin to know that he gets a vote in how he responds.
We spent decades funding anti-communist insurgencies in Latin and South America. We almost had WWIII when the Soviets tried to put missiles in Cuba. NATO pledged when it was formed it would not expand eastward yet it has done nothing but expand eastward since then. It started with roughly a dozen countries in Western Europe and the US and it now has over 30 countries, many of them former Soviet satellites?

It's the leftist mindset.
There's a LOT of history where you can say "That's an understandable result/action/law" while not saying it was either the correct decision or even a good decision.
If you do that, you're automatically a Nazi for not knee-jerk condemning (insert issue here) because EVERYONE knows it was WRONG!

I've listened to endless whining about NATO being a paper tiger, with no significant military capabilities, and then in the next sentence, Putin is scared to death of NATO and that justifies whatever he wants to do. Pick one.
Also, NATO was always a DEFENSIVE alliance. It was meant to counter the USSR (and then Russia), not to attack and destroy them.

As anyone sensible would be. The idea that there is any significant demographic in America willing to die defending the freedom of the Baltic states is risible. There are some, including our elites, who are willing for others to do so. It would almost certainly unravel the United States to fight a war in their defense. Our ever-eastward expansion of NATO is a fool's gamble that the bill will never come due.

Prayer request. My son who graduated last year is currently speaking to someone on the staff at the college he attended about the fact that as an ice breaker his professor asked them to indicate what gender they identified as. This class is botany related. It had nothing to do with gender studies or literature. He said that he didn't say anything at the time to other students or the professor because he was afraid he might get flack from some students or the professor. Only one or two of his other teachers in community college asked this (and he didn't complain them) but they were not science related.

If there was ever a time for the Russians to roll into Western Europe when they were at the peak of military strength, it would have been during the Jimmy Carter term.
I never imagined our military being so weak that we couldn't even start the engines on tanks and other armor because there was so little money allocated for fuel. And that was just a small part of the shortages we experienced in Europe at the time.
So if Russia didn't attack then, I guess they really didn't want to in the first place.

Have your son tell his friend to loudly accuse the professor of trying to identify the LBQTIAOVNXKEIEIO folks for future pogroms.

Fenelon, you have told us in the past that your son is autistic to some degree. Is it possible that the prof in question was mocking the pronoun mob, and that your son mistakenly took him literally?
Now if the professor was sincere, and takes that pronoun nonsense literally, your son should transfer out of that class. There is nothing useful to be learned from a twat like that.

Thanks for your concern
No, she did this as an ice breaker. I think she was stupidly sincere. He said she was o.k. as a teacher (not great but o.k.) He graduated last year, not this and did well in her class. It just has bothered him since them and he did not consult us before sending an e-mail
He said that the Dean of Students who he talked to him was a good listener and promised that there will be no reprisals. I hope so.
