Jasmine Ratchet Runs to Be the Ranking Democrat Member of the House Oversight Committee; The Democrats Reject Her In Humiliating Fashion
She received the lowest vote total of any candidate.
I wonder why. Must be because Democrats hate black women. That's the rule, right? If any member of a group protected by the Democrat-Media Party fails, then it must be due to "hate" of one kind or another, right?Outspoken progressive Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) dropped her bid Tuesday to become the top Democrat on the powerful House Oversight Committee after it became clear she lacked the votes. "It was clear by the numbers that my style of leadership is not exactly what they were looking for, and so I didn't think that it was fair for me to then push forward and try to rebuke that," the lefty pol told reporters. Democrats later anointed Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) to become their ranking member on the Oversight panel, replacing late Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), who died last month.Below, Jasmine Ratchet shows why I call her "ratchet," meaning an "unruly or poorly-behaved person." The woman has only one setting and that setting is Yelling and Hollering About Target Not Honoring Your One-Year-Expired Coupon for Fake Eyelashes.
Crockett, who has a penchant for going viral during committee hearings with her incendiary rhetoric, had touted her ability to go on the offense during the internal party battle to succeed Connolly. She acknowledged Tuesday that "people may be disappointed" by her loss but vowed to remain a "team player" nonetheless. On Monday, Democrats on the Oversight Committee voted on the successor to Connolly, and Crocket dropped hints that she came in last place. Later Tuesday, Democrats held a caucus meeting and voted Garcia as the ranking member. ... Crockett's loss marks the latest setback for the hard-left flank of progressives who wanted to put a firebrand as the top Democrat on the powerful investigative committee. Last year, "Squad" Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was bested by Connolly in her quest to serve as ranking member.

Disney Has a New $200 Million Movie About to Come Out So It Must Be Time for One of Its Overpaid Woke Communist Non-Talents to Open His Mouth Again
Pedro Pascal, related to the family of the Chilean communist Allende and a self-described "50-year-old Bougie Bitch" because that's how straight men talk about themselves, saw Rachel Zegler tanking Snow Beige and said, Hold mi cerveza.
Now he's got yet another unneeded Fantastic Four movie coming out within the month, and he decides it's time again to attack J.K. Rowling for not wanting a tranny's dick-n-balls in her face when she's in a changing room.Pedro Pascal defends calling JK Rowling a 'heinous loser' and says 'bullies make me f****** sick' in latest broadside at Harry Potter creator The actor has doubled down on his Instagram criticism of the British author By AIDAN RADNEDGE Pedro Pascal has launched a new attack on JK Rowling - defending his description of her as a 'heinous loser' as he declared how 'bullies' made him feel 'f***ing sick'. The Game Of Thrones and Gladiator II actor has doubled down on his criticisms of the Harry Potter author over her gender-critical opinions in a new interview. Pascal, 50, whose sister Lux recently came out as a transgender woman, initially made the scathing 'heinous loser' remark in April on Instagram. He was responding to activist Tariq Ra'ouf who was calling for a boycott of any future Harry Potter projects due to Rowling's outspoken stance on trans issues. The British writer, 59, had celebrated a ruling by London's Supreme Court determining that, specifically within the terms of Britain's Equality act, 'woman' meant a biological female and not gender. Rowling, who also writes under the pen name JK Galbraith, has also been involved in wars of words over the subject with Sir Stephen Fry, Boy George and the three young actors who played the main trio in the original Harry Potter movies. Now Pascal has continued his opposition to Rowling in a new interview with Vanity Fair, in which he addressed the response to his Instagram comment earlier this year. Campaigner Mr Ra'ouf had written on Instagram: 'It has become our mission as the general public to make sure that every single thing that's Harry Potter related fails...because that awful disgusting s**t, that has consequences.'Again with the hysterics. No one denies that this person doesn't exist. We deny his delusion that he's a woman. This is a matter of pure fact.
As well as liking the video, Pedro also shared a defiant comment, writing: 'Awful disgusting S**T is exactly right. Heinous LOSER behavior.' His older sister Balmaceda, also talking to Vanity Fair for the new feature, defended him against allegations of being a man talking down to a woman - saying: But it is heinous loser behavior. 'And he said that as the older brother to someone saying that our little sister doesn't exist.'
You have the right to exist. You do not have the right to use government or corporate force to compel free people to accept your deranged, delusionary view of the word. So if I understand this: People who do not play around with your brother's delusions are attempting to "erase" him from existence -- and you certainly don't want such bigots' money, do you? So you certainly are telling them not to see your movies, right? Trannies are insulting Rowling by saying she looks like a tranny. What an own-goal sort of insult.
Pascal himself has now told the magazine the backlash that followed made him feel like 'that kid that got sent to the principal's office a lot for behavioural issues in public schools in Texas feeling scared and thinking, "What'd I do?"' But the Hollywood star's main concern was whether he might have hindered the cause he was supporting. Pascal went on to add: 'The one thing that I would say I agonized over a little bit was just, "Am I helping? Am I f***ing helping?" 'It's a situation that deserves the utmost elegance so that something can actually happen, and people will actually be protected. 'Listen, I want to protect the people I love. But it goes beyond that. Bullies make me f***ing sick.' Pascal has previously shown his support for the transgender community, earlier this year sharing on Instagram the quote: 'A world without trans people has never existed and never will.' He added in his caption: 'I can't think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorising the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.'

======
It's funny.
Because it's extremely obvious that the whole trans thing is sliding away culturally.
I doubt this greatly affects F4's box office chances. I think that has more to do with generalized feelings towards the MCU.
But, it's still a dumb thing to do.

Pedro Pascal's mother is rumored to be a distant relative of Allende.
So what a wonderful family Pedro was raised in.
Then there is Pedro himself with his "Dolls" t-shirt, trying to cop a feel off Vanessa Kirby, and trying to deepthroat a rainbow dildo.

I kinda don't think they really believe they're women. Women aren't called "Lux" unless they're with the Cramps.

Did Pedro get canceled and fired after his stupid comments? No. Did he defend Gina when she did, even though he has power as the main character of the series to stand by her? No.

Yep. Shared before:
We we're trying to work backwards from a normal school day to figure out how much time for instruction we should allot to begin home school. We came up conservatively at 4 hours, taking into account all the farm animal shuffling around and other overhead.
I talked to a teacher friend of mine who disabused me of such generous accounting by saying 2 hours max (elementary level).
That's a full six hours of nothing but "socialization" (a/k/a indoctrination and herd mentality building) and babysitting. And we pay for that shit.

Of course not, they're just weirdos who are angry at the world and/or mentally unwell people seeking attention. And yes, weirdos and mentally unwell people have always existed. And that's fine, we live in a free society, adults are free to dress up as garishly offensive versions of women and even surgically amputate their hogs if they so choose.

I'm actually looking forward to the new Superman film, it's looks like it's going to get Superman back to it's roots and essentially is a big screen version of Smallville where Clark actually becomes Superman.
The other film I'm looking forward to is Caught Stealing with Austin Butler, it's looks like a slight ripoff of Snatch, and looks pretty good.

She was also implying they were bullies, making her post something she didn't care about. She was just standing up to the bullies, but of course the trans community spun it as she hates trans people and wants them all to die. As a group, they cannot handle being mocked. At all.

No, all of the Caville films were dark and morose and Dawn of Justice was essentially Millers, The Dark Knight Returns.
All of these iterations are chasing Superman The Movie and they all largely fail, the best iteration of Superman of the recent past was Smallville and going back a little further, Lois and Clark.

Fun fact: hysteria was an actual medical diagnosis for women for many many centuries.
The idea was that a woman's emotions were all whacked out due to her "wandering womb" and the prescription was some variation of either getting her pregnant, or getting her to orgasm. Which is how the modern vibrator was invented as a medical device doctors would use to treat hysteria.

Saw "28 Years Later".
I enjoyed it. Well made. Very well directed and acted.
They've pretty much decided to turn the franchise from concentrating on the Rage Virus Outbreaks to a sort of Gulliver's Travels where the Rage Folk are just a fact of life and the survivors are weirdos of various sorts to make political points.
F'rinstance, 28YL is at its root an argument for assisted suicide, which apparently just got passed in Old Blightey. Some knocks against Christianity, which seem will be expanded upon in Part Two the series.
The politics is mostly shoved in at the last quarter or so of the movie. I'm not an assisted suicide type at all but I wasn't particularly offended because it kinda fit into the story, but upon thinking about the movie later it was very obvious.
Soooo, not as good as 28DL. Much better than 28WL.
Not much hope for the sequel as the coda to 28YL makes it pretty obvious we're going to be getting yet another EEEEEEeeeevil White People movie.
Anyway, check it out if you're a fan of the series.

Sure, but so are dragons, but if you take their wings away, make them not breathe fire, and make their scales fur instead, are they still dragons? Fictional or not? Is it a Jedi if they have no psychic powers or light saber? Is it a starship if it cannot go into space?

Because werewolves gained all of their modern features when Hollywood invented them for The Wolf Man and no one's looked back since.

That's the word. Mr Fantastic has a Mr Science show where he does his Bill Nye impression (expect at least one global warming crack), and isn't really in the movie all that much.
Now, Sue Storm, the Invisible Girl, is the most powerful member of the team, but she's not the leader nor the most powerful personality, not by a long shot.

Also like real stars, when you get closer, you find out that they are unbearable balls of burning gas.
What makes stars - literal and of the Hollywood variety - "work" is their distance. With distance, they're beautiful and bright. Up close, not so much.
Thanks to social media, we all got much closer than the minimum safe distance. Social media collapsed the distance, and thus collapsed the star.

I can’t imagine having as much vitriol and emotional incontinence as he has for JK Rowling.
Nothing she has said remotely justifies his response. Either he really is that out of control in which he needs a straight jacket or he gets his jollies bullying people this way in which I hope he’s shot by a fan as equally deranged.
I also suspect he’s a fag based on the outburst.

It was designed by Irving Thalberg at MGM in the 20s to try and apply the Henry Ford mode of production to Hollywood.
Actors were cogs in the studio machine, just like artisans, writers, and directors.
So, you put actors into kinds of films, and then you prioritized production levels around actors who had proven histories of bringing in audiences.
It didn't take long for actors and their PR agents to make it into something else, something ethereal and magical about the mysterious power of particular movie stars that could be described as charisma, though. And the myth of the movie star morphed into an excuse to pay Cary Grant a lot of money to play himself.

The other form, also quite common, is "sheltered, grasping middle-class type putting on airs." That's the original form, from the literal "bourgeoisie."
The Marxist class struggle became actual common slang, to mean or more less the same thing (in its original form, anyway). And almost no one realizes it.

Here is an example of dressing well and swagger over coming a lot. There is a lesson in here for some of you!
But also, to be an actor, male or female, the camera has to love you. This doesn’t always translate to Adonis looks. In fact, sometimes large features photograph better- plus lightening, etc. conversely, there are people who are very attractive but don’t photograph well at all.

Looking good helps do that.
This is the "why do athletes get paid so much and schoolteachers so little" argument again. They don't, not in terms of persons served. Tom Brady probably made maybe a few cents per person served (viewer entertained) over the course of a season. A schoolteacher earns a couple of hundred bucks or more per person served.
What allows the movie star to earn so much is the same thing that allowed movie stars to happen (and music stars, and athlete stars, etc): mass media, and therefore massed customers.
With the media landscape fracturing and the audience so sub-sectioned, the masses aren't there anymore. The movie star really has no place anymore, and their general unpleasantness has compounded the problem dramatically.

There's nothing scold about it. It's almost endearing. It's silly children casting off the boring Marxist-Leninist brainwashing of their parents, making them feel guilty for wanting nice things and then going out to buy nice things.

Edited for accuracy: Pascal, an actor who makes his living pretending to be something he isn't, unsurprisingly has a brother who also pretends he's something he isn't; the brother dresses up in women's clothes and pretends he's a woman. See, e.g,. Mrs. Doubtfire, Dame Edna, and Milton Berle.

Close enough. It was used by the marxists to damn people 'in the trades' as opposed to intellectuals (them). The new one attempts to do the same from the standpoint of an 'elite' in our pretty much classless society in the US.

But I never said that a movie star has to look pretty. I said that they have to look better than the average person. I'm even willing to concede that "better" here could involve non-beautiful traits. How many Sydney Greenstreets or Peter Lorres have you met in person. Neither was even close to being attractive, but both are fun to watch in part because they look different from the average person.
Pedro is just an ugly schlub I can see hundreds of if I walk around in public for a couple of hours.

I liked the movie but didn't like Pascal because it really did seem like he was gay for Cage instead of the hot girl. That character would have been better written more of being in awe like a son to a father than the gay bromance he exhibited.

I don't know why that's so odd to me, but it is. NYC DOE gets god knows how much money, and in 2025, they still don't have AC in every classroom?
When I was kid, we didn't either, but the school was built in the 1940's and the plan was always to retrofit it (I assume it has been done by now).
Definitely hard to focus on learning when its over 100 degrees in your classroom.

It's pretty much only ever used as a humble-brag sort of word, as I see it. "Look at my new thing I just paid full price for OMG i'm so bougie".
They're still embracing having money and buying the thing they want with it. There's a sarcastic nod to "Yes, this was totally unnecessary, aren't I just terrible", but it's also the joy of ownership, which is inherently capitalistic. It's taking pride in conspicuous consumption, the most "bourgeoise" thing imaginable.
In a way I feel like the popularity (or resurgence) of the word is a kind of spit in the face at Marx, and not some kind of cryptic victory for him and his bullshit.

From my side of the fence, Ellen Barkin when she did Sea of Love w/ Al Pacino was "ugly hot." Well, maybe not ugly, but not glamor beautiful.

Have you guys seen the Ironheart trailer??
Yeah they have a few out. Marvel is doing their best to promote this turd, but everyone is expecting it to utterly suck. The story as near as I can work out from the videos is a girl who is called a genius by everyone but for some reason is unable to carry out her dreams despite having already built a suit of power armor while a freshman in college and gone to Wakanda.
So she hooks up with this guy who is actually working for the devil, and goes out robbing rich people to "give to the poor" redistributing wealth with a posse of losers and freaks. She demands to be "iconic" but does nothing heroic in any of the trailers and is clearly self focused and spoiled. She has no dad, he died a while back. Her stepdad is missing from the picture as well.
She has an AI like Tony Stark did with Jarvis, but this one is a sassy black hologram. She uses black magic (no joke actual evil spells) to power up her armor even more.
It looks utterly dreadful

This gets old. This idea that one party ... the GOP ... is virtuous while the Democrats were awful.
Do you understand ... and I bet you don't ... that the MidWest and SouthEast subsidize the NorthEast ? We do. Do you understand that our poor, stupid asses fill the vast majority of the ranks of the military you love to cheer ?
There was a time ... measured in decades ... when the rest of the country not NorthEast voted Democrat ? And why ? Because Republicans were that awful.
If the South was that bad ? Why didn't you just let us go ?

The drive to want to have children is pretty strong, but it is easy to hide it with drugs, alcohol and/or career.
And unfortunately for women they have a much smaller time window to have kids.
So there are a large number of women in America that wished they had kids and it is driving them literally crazy they did not...

The biggest hit these hacks took was the lockdowns. It hurt the left in so many lasting ways, but one of the biggest was parents seeing first hand what their kids are being taught and how the classrooms are run.

I re-read democracy in america recently, and that was something de Tocqueville marveled at. How nearly everyone was literate, including the farm hands who were reading books while plowing the fields, etc.
That said, much of the country did have some version of public schools back then. More like neighborhood schools where the people would pay a housewife to teach all the kids in the area the basics of reading and math, then the kids were expected to go from there. Very different from what it has become.

From what I've read, the strikes targeted the UF6 storage antechamber, potentially collapsing it, and the ventilation system.
The UF6 Iran was using was in gaseous form. It's gaseous at 135 degrees and needs to stay there. So, it's not like just throwing it on the back of a truck to cart away.
And that doesn't even touch on any potential damage to centrifuges that have lost power, assumedly.

Yeah that's how it worked. In the original 14 colonies (yes, yes, I'll include Vermont), some states had some level of compulsory education requirements, others did not.
But interestingly, the US had what was likely the highest literacy rates in the world, even with New Hampshire, for example, not requiring kids learn how to read. Turns out people wanted their kids to learn how to read, even if the government didn't require it.
The idea being, of course, that you cant be a self governing republic if the people don't understand the issues. Illiterate people were often not allowed to vote (depending on the state) until SCOTUS said that was racist.

Yep. Shared before:
We we're trying to work backwards from a normal school day to figure out how much time for instruction we should allot to begin home school. We came up conservatively at 4 hours, taking into account all the farm animal shuffling around and other overhead.
I talked to a teacher friend of mine who disabused me of such generous accounting by saying 2 hours max (elementary level).
That's a full six hours of nothing but "socilization" (a/k/a indoctrination and herd mentality building) and babysitting. And we pay for that shit.

she can just become an independent and caucus with the Dems, like Bernie Sanders and Angus King. That being said, it would be nice to see the defection going the other way for a change.
Would rather she beome a Dem. As a proud member of the Democratic Party we welcome her. she's one of very, very few Republicans in the Senate who actually have, what are those things called? Oh yeah, principles! Come on in, Lisa!
I watched her interview on CBS this morning. She was mealy mouthing some weasel words. I don't trust her. She was talking in circles, being evasive. She's selling her book that's why she's in the news now.
This smells of an attempt to fake some opposition to the "Loot America" bill. If she actually does it I will fall over from shock.
Nowhere in this video does she say that it is possible she would switch parties and become a democrat. Whoever wrote this didn’t listen to the clip.

"Moore is also quoted as saying that Murkowski will not give up being a Republican while her father, former Senator and Governor Frank Murkowski is alive. “As long as Daddy’s still alive, she ain’t switching,” Moore is quoted as saying. “I think Daddy would be very disappointed.” Frank Murkowski is now 91 years old."

Anchorage Daily News, With Walker's blessing, former Gov. Murkowski will again explore Alaska-Canada rail link, Published: April 2, 2017
In part, "Former Gov. Frank Murkowski is exploring the creation of a rail connection between Alaska and Canada, an unrealized priority left over from his time in the state's highest office more than a decade ago.
A contract between Murkowski and Gov. Bill Walker's office says Murkowski will serve as Walker's "special envoy" and "perform services related to establishing a rail connection between Alaska and the Canadian rail system."

"As of 2025, the average age of senators in the 119th Congress was 64. Of the total 100, 33 members of the U.S. Senate were between the ages of 60 and 69 - more than any other age group. The minimum age requirement to be a member of the Senate is 30, opposed to the House of Representatives which has a minimum age requirement of 25."

Regardless of locale, and the parties involved, most elections are "fortified" to one extent or another, the power structure in Alaska want's her in power, so, she will be in power until they don't want her in power.
But remember, to a lot of Alaskan's, she's preferable to Sarah Palin.

Politico: Palin: Murkowski stooped "low" Feb. 2010
In part, "Sarah Palin lashed into Sen. Lisa Murkowski several times Monday on behalf of her endorsed candidate in the Alaska Senate race, Republican Joe Miller.
Completing an electronic hat trick, Palin blasted Murkowski for the remarks she made during a debate last night via Twitter, on her Facebook page and in an e-mail sent to Miller’s supporters."
And, "The former Alaska governor has a contentious history with Murkowski and her father, former Gov. Frank Murkowski, that dates back almost a decade. In 2002, then-recently elected Gov. Frank Murkowski passed over Palin and appointed his daughter to his former Senate seat. Four years later, Palin defeated Frank Murkowski to win the governorship."

Trump’s White House counsel sent a letter to Biden aide Neera Tanden this morning, as she appears before the House Oversight Committee amid a probe into Biden’s mental fitness as president — The letter argues that asserting executive privilege is “not justified” because of the nature of the allegations.

Nosferatu was empty because of how he told the story. The emotional investment in Lily-Rose Depp, her connection to Orlock, and her final choice just left me cold. It looked good while it did it, though.

I liked it because it told a story from the Viking view point. Ana Taylor-Joy's character tries to get him to view his decisions from a more modern/rational viewpoint - oddly as a pagan priestess but Alexander Skarsgard's Amleth is going to get the revenge his gods demand. And if he dies? He'll join Odin's side anyway right?

RCV is a weighted system, if you don't vote other choices, it's essentially votes for the other candidates.

There was one lake in the training areas of Elmendorf/Richardson where the muskeg had grown out onto the surface. It was like a green iceberg, flat on top and about 10 feet of muskeg below the surface. Some airmen & soldiers had put plywood sheets on the muskeg so you could walk on the water about 50 yards offshore and fish at the edges. Freaky.

Going to Broadway from Hollywood isn't actually an upgrade.
Going from Hollywood to Broadway is something big stars can do to get adulation and paid (like Jake Gyllenhall and Denzel in their Othello), but it's more about convincing themselves that they're still actors instead of movie stars.
Zegler is not going to Bdwy because she needs to feel like an actress. She's going to Broadway because no one in Hollywood will hire her and her name is big enough to work on the marquee on Bdwy for opening weekend.

It didn't help bevin that he was a grifter that destroyed the family business in connecticut. He took over the bell making company that had been around for over 200 years in about 2009 and drove it into the ground. He cancelled the insurance on the factory and it subsequently burned to the ground after getting hit by lightning. The state (blumenthal) came in and bailed him out with grants and tax abatements. Once those were in place and he had the cash he promptly sold the company and moved away.

Lowly District Court Judge Championed by Elizabeth Warren Now "Defies the Supreme Court," Decides That His Own Authority Is Greater Than Both the President's and Supreme Court's
Lowly district court functionary Brian Murphy ruled that Trump could not deport illegal aliens with deportation orders -- some convicted of attempted murder -- to a third country. I think Trump wanted to deport them to a third country because they claim their home country is a shithole country and they say they'd be persecuted there or some bullshit.
The Supreme Court overruled him and said that the deportations can continue. Deciding that he is now more supreme than the Supremes, this dinky little bureaucrat worm now writes an order that effectively blocks the deportation the Supreme Court just said could proceed. He's saying that the Supreme Court's ruling doesn't apply to the six people this case is specifically about.
President Donald Trump's administration urged the Supreme Court on Tuesday to allow it to immediately deport a group of migrants currently being held on a US military base in Djibouti to South Sudan, saying the judge handling the case defied the high court. The unusual motion came hours after a divided Supreme Court allowed the administration to resume deporting migrants to countries other than their homeland, including places like South Sudan, with minimal notice. Later Monday, a district court judge in Massachusetts ruled that the order didn't apply to the specific migrants in Djibouti. Describing the lower court's order as "untenable," the Trump administration accused US District Judge Brian Murphy of being in "defiance" of the Supreme Court's order and suggested in its brief on Tuesday that the justices remove him from the case. "The district court's ruling of last night is indefensible," the Department of Justice told the Supreme Court. "The district court's ruling of last night is a lawless act of defiance that, once again, disrupts sensitive diplomatic relations and slams the brakes on the executive's lawful efforts to effectuate third-country removals," the administration said. As is often the case on the Supreme Court's emergency docket, the order Monday afternoon provided little detail about the implications of the decision. The Trump administration had asked the justices to put on hold an order from Murphy, which found that the government's efforts to deport migrants to third-party countries without additional due process "unquestionably" violated constitutional protections. The Supreme Court granted that request, allowing the administration to continue those removals to third countries broadly while the litigation continues. But later Monday, Murphy ruled that the Supreme Court's order didn't affect a group of immigrants being detained by the US at a military base in Djibouti -- a group that has become a focal point in the fight over the removal policy. The migrants, including some from Cuba, Vietnam and Laos, were being held in a converted Conex shipping container. Murphy said the government must continue to assess claims they make about fear of being tortured before removing them to South Sudan. He had mandated those assessments in a separate order on May 21 that the Trump administration did not appeal. On Tuesday, the Justice Department also suggested the Supreme Court "may consider ordering that the case be reassigned to a different district judge." Administration attorneys urged the justices to "clarify" that its order Monday also covers Murphy's separate May 21 order involving the migrants in Djibouti. If the Supreme Court agreed to do so, that would mean those migrants could be removed to South Sudan.
Stephen Miller promises "fireworks" over this latest judicial insurrection.
Julie Kelly
@julie_kelly2
NEW: Trump DOJ asks SCOTUS for clarification on Judge Brian Murphy's "unprecedented defiance of this Court's authority" related to Murphy's order last night to ignore SCOTUS' hold on his ban on deporting criminal illegals to third countries. DOJ: "The district court's ruling of last night is a lawless act of defiance that, once again, disrupts sensitive diplomatic relations and slams the brakes on the Executive's lawful efforts to effectuate third-country removals. The district court's ruling of last night is indefensible."
Trump DOJ also suggests SCOTUS should pre-approve any future injunctions issued in the case and/or reassign the matter to a different judge. "The district court was not free to ignore this Court's decision or to insist that it can continue to enforce the very injunction that the stay order rendered unenforceable."
WOW: Stephen Miller says to expect “fireworks” tomorrow as the Trump team holds a Boston judge accountable for defying the Supreme Court

The birthplace citizenship decision, which is actually a decision on the process of national injunctions and not about the merits of the Trump policy of denying citizenship, is still due.
Roberts wrote Skrmetti, one of the big decisions of the term, not Alito or Thomas.
Alito has released very few decisions so far this term.
Term is up in about a week.
Tea leaves say that Alito is writing the national injunctions opinion. If he is, I expect a very harsh slap down and limitation of lower courts.

If that decision had been reached 2 months ago with guiding precedent on all of this, would it make sense to constantly interject SCOTUS into everything leading up to the final opinion?
It's kind of blind hope, but so many noises have come from SCOTUS over the past 3-4 years against nationwide injunctions and general misappropriation of jurisdiction from the lower courts that...it's not blind.

This makes me sad. This is a failure of the adults running the show, but it is also a negative lesson that taught you that nothing happens for you unless someone else makes it happen.
We are on a losing B team with a few uncoachable kids. I tell them straight up, if you want to ignore the coaching, I'll move on to the next kid. We teach sportsmanship and how to be a good team mate. We teach hard work gets the benefits of preferred spots. We teach mental toughness and playing through adversity.
My youngest went out and practiced for hours on the pitcher trainer alone, when he decided he wanted to pitch. I went to youtube to learn how to coach him. Now he's striking out kids two years his senior and having a blast.
We got 10 runned last night, and he had a blast, striking kids out, getting tagout at home on reverse pick, textbook 6-3s, and even a heads up third strike play on a known bad pitch that he made happen to get to first while allowing a run to score from second.

That may play in to it, but I think the simpler explanation is that judges don't want to limit their own power.

I mentioned it previously, a Tee and a Woodpile.
The Tee, obviously, for hitting. But you need to use it at every position in the strike zone to teach placement and contact hitting.
The Woodpile for fielding practice. Stand in front of it and throw the ball at it. It will come off at irregular angles and allow the kid to learn how to read the ball coming off the bat. Once you can predict each piece of wood, take two steps left or right. Repeat.

I was stunned.
Dude concocted his third strike drop plan on the fly, on his own, and he executed it beautifully.
He swung and began running on a bad, uncatchable pitch, even before the bat hit the ground. They tried to get him at first, but flummoxed by what was happening, botched the throwdown to first. Meanwhile, I was pulling runner on second to third, so he was there by the time they tried to make the play at first. So when they tried to make the play at first, I sent him home, and they botched that play too.

There probably are many other such situations (where's whig, he'll know), but 2A rulings from SCOTUS have no effect when the inferior courts decide to do their own thing. So far, not a hint of a trace of SCOTUS "enforcing" their paper higher position in the chain.

Russian TV presenters have urged Vladimir Putin to consider dropping nuclear bombs on a NATO country to "solve" the world's problems "at once". In a chilling diatribe hawkish presenter Vladimir Solovyov raged that Russia should move nuclear weapons into Iran, under Kremlin control, and even attack NATO member Poland with an atomic weapon. Speaking on Russian state TV, Solovyov said Russian should use tactical weapons against Ukraine and "just in case, also drop one into Poland", adding: "No one will say a word. They will impose sanctions, so what?".

This is judicial lawfare. This cannot stand. The result of this continued degradation of the legal system only corrodes the people's faith in the system they have sworn to uphold.
These judges must be called out by Roberts as the shitty judges that they are. Of course, Roberts won't do any such thing, because he is a part of this judicial lawfare.
Are they the modern version of the Confederacy? I see more parallels every day. I could envision Trump, after the 2026 elections and assuming he retains majorities, simply telling the Hawaiian judges to go to hell and ignore them.

Yeah, where there is a will, there is a way. None of this, I can't do it, because nobody lets me or teaches me.
My oldest chose to start catching last year. He had two games under his belt last year, and now he was varsity (Middle School) catcher, played all the games, all innings, and he is the primary catcher on Summer league.
Sure we spend the money on gear, we take time to practice and review various things, provide skills drills, etc.
But in the end, it is self-determination and mastery of self. Those are the life lessons. Don't matter if you become a plumber or a rocket surgeon.

The Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) new live daily show has drawn dwindling viewership and mockery in its first two weeks online. The “Democrats’ Daily Blueprint,” a 15-minute weekday show, launched June 9 as a bid to counter conservative media dominance — but after drawing about 9,000 views on its debut, many episodes have struggled to crack quadruple digits. Trump War Room’s single mocking tweet hit 83,000 views as of Tuesday, dwarfing the Blueprint’s entire combined viewership of about 21,000 across 12 episodes.

The government goes out of its way to get get an accurate count.
So I'm guessing it's a breathtakingly large number -- definitely in the tens of millions. The Census say there are 47 million people residing in the country right now who were not born here.
We issue over 2 million visas a year (so legal immigrants), so we could try to do the math to figure out how many are illegal, but it's really tough to know.

True.
Roberts also knows judicial review is on the chopping block on the backburners of Trump's WH. And with rulings like this it might start moving to a big burner. Trump will have public support if they say that actions taken by the legislative, executive, or state governments are only appealable by those parties, and only over issues regarding the usurption of another one's powers. Since Trump is acting in accordance with his powers clearly defined and laws passed by the legislature, and over an area under which the states have no jurisdiction (as a recent SCOTUS case reminded us) unless Congress maintains he is violating a duly passed law - no one else has standing.

A Russian warship disguised itself using a fake ID signal while travelling through the English Channel with two sanctioned oil tankers, a BBC Verify investigation has found. The Boikiy - a corvette armed with guided missiles - broadcast the fake ID code as it passed through the Channel on Saturday. On tracking sites it wrongly appeared as ships which have previously used that ID. BBC Verify matched the ID to the Boikiy by using satellite imagery, tracking data and a video of it passing under a bridge in Denmark.

I once worked with a lawyer who (supposedly accidentally) called a state court judge "baby" during a pre trial conference. Well in his defense, he said something like "already filed the appeal, baby!" I don't think he meant to address her as "baby." But the transcript looked bad.

It took legislation by Congress to end school desegregation by the simple means of refusal of federal money to any school district that discriminated. Courts could and did make multiple rulings against specific schools and specific jurisdictions but it was the same whack a mole that the courts entered when they tried to 'fix' the prison systems by running them through special masters. The system beat the judges.
We are seeing the same Massive Resistance strategy used by blue states daring Scotus to affect gun rights today and Trump initiatives.
The key is Congress and the President kill the funding of blue jurisdictions misbehaving and exerting legislative power such as killing parts of the NFA.
At the end of the day, the corruptocrats win over the ideologists and that is what those on the side of constitutional rights must remember. A court may redress a specific issue but long run, you gotta win your point politically

Sort of.
FDR threatened to pack the Court in retaliation for SCOTUS (and the lower courts) striking down various New Deal schemes he tried to put in place.
SCOTUS famously got much more quiet after that and went along with FDR's schemes ("the switch in time that saved 9"), and it's usually seen as the end of the Lochner era. I'm blanking on the name of the case, but I'm sure whig could cite it with appropriate blue book cites off the top of his head.

Hadrian is correct. The Switch in Time that Saved Nine occurred in 1937-38. Justice Charles Evans Hughes and Owen Roberts changed their voting starting with West Coast Hotel v. Parrish. This led to the Court upholding key elements of FDR's second legislative agenda focusing on labor unions and raising the price of labor and restriction of supply in order to bring up prices (the Agricultural Adjustment Act is an example of that). Social Security was created to outflank Huey Long and so on.

If you read between the lines, almost all of Roberts Votes are to perpetuate the power of the Courts... and even expand it.
Even the Chevron decision, that most say was a big win for the Right, just meant that a Judge decides on whether a regulation is good enough, instead of bowing to the opinion, of the supposed experts who make the regulation.

“The district court’s ruling of last night is a lawless act of defiance that, once again, disrupts sensitive diplomatic relations and slams the brakes on the Executive’s lawful efforts to effectuate third-country removals. For over two months now, the Executive has labored under an injunction that this Court yesterday deemed unenforceable. This Court should immediately make clear that the district court’s enforcement order has no effect, and put a swift end to the ongoing irreparable harm to the Executive Branch and its agents, who remain under baseless threat of contempt as they are forced to house dangerous criminal aliens at a military base in the Horn of Africa that now lies on the borders of a regional conflict,” John Sauer wrote.

I mentioned it previously, a Tee and a Woodpile.
The Tee, obviously, for hitting. But you need to use it at every position in the strike zone to teach placement and contact hitting.
The Woodpile for fielding practice. Stand in front of it and throw the ball at it. It will come off at irregular angles and allow the kid to learn how to read the ball coming off the bat. Once you can predict each piece of wood, take two steps left or right. Repeat.

A social media ad for the event read, "¡Hola! Don't miss MS-13 Bobblehead Night at Dodger Stadium on 7/20 presented by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA)! The first 2,000 undocumented migrants get their very own MS-13 Bobblehead! ¡Ay, caramba!"
The limited edition MS-13 bobblehead features a Latinx cis-male with face tattoos and a penchant for vandalism. The figurine wears an unbuttoned Dodgers jersey to show off his abs and carries a Glock 19 for use in fighting back against colonizers. The prized item is also made of extra-flammable material, so it can double as a convenient Molotov cocktail substitute when needed.

The brains behind this strategy has been Norm Eisen and his group of Lawfare colleagues at the Brookings Institution. Eisen was also balls deep in the various criminal trials in the states, the attempt to kick Trump off the ballot, and so on.
I think it more than fair to subpoena all records of ex parte communications with all lawfare associates as a pattern of possibly illegal activity could constitute a RICO violation.

Karimi entered the country legally on a K-1 visa, for foreigners engaged to be married to Americans, in October under the Biden administration.
He married his bride, Morgan Gardener, in January this year. However, Karimi failed to adjust his status, making his presence in the US illegal.
He loved her not enough to obtain legal status. He can re-apply at the US embassy in Tehran. Good luck to them both.

At least in that case the country would go down by its own conscious choices. Voters would either rescue the place, or not, by paying attention and dumping those who fail the test when they walk the plank.

I disagree. The Fuller Court (that largely decided Lochner other than Holmes as a justice) was a bunch of corporate lawyers responsible for some of the worst Supreme Court decisions since Dred Scott such Plessy v. Ferguson where the court created out of thin air the separate but equal justification for de jure segregation. Not a big fan of E.C. Knight's evisceration of the Sherman Anti Trust Act, Pollock, which overturned the income tax was an investor suing his own bank (collusive and thus non justiciable), and Lochner created the dubious liberty to contract doctrine effectively amending the Constitution and eviscerating the 10th Amendment to do so.
Fuller court created the conditions necessary for the FDR administration to run wild and for Woody Wilson to resegregate the federal government.
Not a fan of that era.

The Sudan in particular, like the other Sahara-adjacent countries, is a perfect place where these people can "disappear." Not a whole lot of stuff going on in the boonies of the country. Drop them off in the middle of nowhere with a canteen of water (if you are feeling cruel) and let nature take its course.

Experts say it will take years for Tehran to replenish its missile supplies, but it can still terrorize Israel and others with cluster warheads and short-range rocket
---------
IIRC Iran's capacity for building various missiles is huge. Many of the facilities are also underground. The IDF went after the launchers big time in the first couple nights because there are fewer of them than the missiles themselves.
Iran also manufactures the so-called suicide drones in huge numbers as well. Meaning there are still likely thousands of missiles and one-way drones that Iran can unleash. Presuming there are facilities to launch them with. Drones in particular need nothing more than a ramp on a truck or a fairly level area to take off from.
I doubt any of that infrastructure has been totally destroyed.

England,which created the whole good behavior standard for removal but that purposefully excluded a bill from being passed in Parliament that kicked out a specific judge.
Impeachment is a poor substitute for high crimes or misdemeanors and almost impossible to do absent actual crimes. So the judiciary became insulated to the extent that the only cure is adding more judges. I would also consider going back to the old ways ended in 1976 that allegations of unconstitutional actions require three judge panels with an automatic direct appeal to Scotus.
Research has shown that judges suddenly become more circumspect when they have to deal with colleagues on the bench and the fact that a favorable appellate court can no longer shield them because Scotus has to deal with them and create a binding precedent means that outliers become overridden horrible examples to others.
Posted by: whig at June 24, 2025 02:52 PM (ctrM5)
Judges don't.
And this is why judicial elections are better than judicial appointments with near-lifetime tenure. You can at least try to unelect a bad judge, and sometimes you'll succeed. Impeaching a bad judge? Almost never happens.

Israel struck all over the country, including in the most remote spots (furthest away from Israel). With - apparently - great success, and a remarkable record of not hitting civilians through error or malfunctions.
Plus, in a weird dictatorship like Iran (every autocracy is different, based on the base culture of the society) there is a lot of information, and a very healthy social telegraph (even before "social media"). People know what happened. They say, or heard friends/family describe, institutions of state power being smashed, with impunity, by Israeli forces.

According to my reading of the contemporary writings of the time ... and man, were those old boys gas bags - they wrote EVERYTHING down ... the entire idea of "Judiciary" was the great big compromise.
Because look, the idea of "One Tyrant over there or Thousands here" was a real thing. I would have NEVER, in their day, ratified the Constitution. And certainly not with the Bill of Rights. The Anti-Federalists expressly warned that the BoR would be aimed directly at the States.
The Founders were not Perfect Geniuses. They pretty much whiffed on the idea of the Judiciary.

Drone production also hit, but not as much, and it's got a more survivable industrial chain (small facilities). But Iran's drones were singularly ineffective in this dust-up. Lots of factors, but in the era of "drones change everything!!!" they really didn't in this situation.

I cannot believe anyone still thinks that impeachment is a real thing at this point.
At the nadir of Trump's presidency, after he had lost the 2020 election, after 1/6 and the insurrection that killed AOC, when Mitch thought the GOP was finally free of Trump...
One Republican voted in favor of conviction on one charge. Mitt Romney. Who seemingly had already decided to not run for re-election in 2024.
Not even Lisa Murkowski or Susan Collins voted in favor of it (also, note that Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema, mavericks, did vote in favor of it).
But the next time they'll totally get Trump with...massively higher approval ratings.

Well, they specified numbers in other regards -- minimum age of presidents, senators, and legislators, and (I think) number of senators per state, as well as the term lengths for all. Probably more in there but I'm not recalling them at the moment.

Trump Shows Frustration at Israel, Iran, and the Leftwing Gaslight Media
Iran violated the ceasefire a bit, and Israel rushed to punish them for that.
Trump's annoyed that his ceasefire isn't being embraced by both sides. I think this would be a good time to just say "Let them fight, they clearly want to fight, and the US shouldn't particularly care about stopping them." Particularly given that Iran is crippled and ready to topple. But Trump does want to appease the Ron Paul pacifist bloc of MAGA, and he wants to honor his pledge to "end more wars than he starts."[W]hen Iran violated the planned ceasefire and Israel retaliated, Trump was none happy happy about it. Speaking to reporters before departing for the NATO summit at The Hague, Trump was asked whether he believed Iran remained committed to the ceasefire after Israel accused Tehran of violating the agreement. "Yeah, I do. Uh, they violated, but Israel violated it, too," he said, making clear that he saw fault on both sides. ... The crisis unfolded just hours after the ceasefire took effect, with Iran launching three missiles toward Israel. All the missiles were either intercepted or landed harmlessly, causing no injuries or damage. When pressed further on Israel's commitment, Trump didn't hold back. "Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I'd never seen before. The biggest load that we've seen. I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when, when I say, 'Okay, now you have 12 hours,' you don't go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on 'em. So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with Iran, either. But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out this morning because of one rocket that didn't land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn't land."Wasn't that the whole point of giving them 12 hours before the ceasefire? I'm sure that was the whole point as far as Israel is concerned. When countries accept a ceasefire to begin in the future, they're putting the ceasefire off precisely because they want to get in last licks.
Trump's frustration was palpable as he continued, "I'm not happy about that."Trump was also angry at the "gutless losers" at CNN and "MSDNC" for attempting to find the dark lining in the silver cloud.
... Trump summed up his exasperation with a blunt assessment: "You know what we have? We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f--k they're doing. Do you understand that?"
President Trump stares into CNN’s camera and calls them a bunch of “gutless losers” for not respecting the B-2 pilots.

I hope Trump holds steady on this one.
As far as letting Israel and Iran fight it out -- that is now complicated by the fact that the US is undeniably involved in this war, no? Not only as Israel's arsenal, but we've also now bombed Iran with US planes and US troops.
And of course we have Medvedev's not very veiled threat to arm Iran with Russian nuclear weapons lingering in the background.
Let's all hope and pray Trump can thread this needle and somehow find a way to extradite ourselves from this very unpleasant situation, and hopefully he learned a lesson here about why getting involved in a war at all is a slippery slope when you're the worlds only superpower.

I think Trump just generally wants the fighting in the Middle East to stop, and he's trying to apply his commerce over warfare logic to this.
Will it work? I seem...doubtful.
Israel can make good with Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Can Iran make good with Israel the same way? Seems...far fetched as long as the Ayatollah and his regime are in place.
But Trump is right that regime change is messy. Toppling the Ayatollah from the outside will not be easily papered over.

I wasn't in the room, obviously, but I imagine it was some kind of compromise. Usually there's a deadline for a ceasefire. Like in WWI, bombings continued until the moment of the ceasefire. Which... is kind of fucked up when you think about it. Imagine being one of the soldiers who died after a ceasefire was declared, but before it went in to affect.
Anyways. The staggered times, I would guess, were because Israel wanted time to verify that Iran stopped shooting missiles, and needed time to get their assets / planes out of Iran / Iranian airspace. But that's just speculation on my part.

Result of both sides not trusting the other and trying to get the upper hand. I suspect that Israel thought the Iranians (correctly in hindsight) would try to sneak in some punches even after the deadline a bit just to show their people something. Israel then could and did retaliate by apparently using N+1 retaliation.
Part of which, congressional testimony yesterday indicated that US Navy stores of antimissiles were being used at a rate faster than resupply. I would imagine that Israel is probably close to the same problem.
Modern warfare (not police actions against terrorists) uses up sophisticated and slow to produce weapons at unsustainable rates which apparently require stoppages in order to resupply.
Building a lot for a rainy day may not work either as weapon technology is accelerating in counter measures rapidly blunting new weaponry. So a huge stockpile of obsolete missiles/drones, etc may not be the answer either.

But if Israel was given good intel by the Green Party (I think that was the main opposition last time) then it would sure help the revolution ... if some missiles happened to wipe out bunches of the regime on a consistent basis.
Or maybe the regime is already bugging out, as rumors have said. No new strikes on US targets, afaik.

He said "A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their nuclear weapons"
Which I suppose could mean Pakistan or (allegedly) KSA. He later said: "The New START treaty, which I once signed with a US president, is still in force for now. The question is: what comes next?" which some viewed as him walking back his earlier comment.

Optometrists have a limited scope of practice for routine eye and vision care, can prescribe corrective lenses, etc. Ophthalmologists are actual eye doctors who can treat more complex eye diseases and perform eye surgery. Optometrists make and fit eyeglasses, basically.

I think Medvedev reacted emotionally rather than logically which is why Putin jerked his chain.
If Russia gives Israel's arch enemy nukes, then Israel would be in such a place to provide them to the equally nutty Ukrainians.
Israel and Russia, in a way, share the same problem--the core of their country's polity and society are in a few cities susceptible to being nuked. Russia without Moscow and St. Petersburg would be a far different country as would be Israel without Tel Aviv and perhaps Haifa.

Add that to govt. grocery stores, homeless shelters in subway stations (although, kind of is that way now), police removed from high crime areas. This guy is hitting all the right policy choices for NYC. I hope he wins and the insane retards who make up 2/3rds of NY voters (includes ballot harvesting) will get what they deserve. Still, NYC used to be a great part of the USA and it would be nice to have them back. But sometimes a lost cause is just a lost cause.

Assuming that the public facts are the same as private facts, US made clear that regime change for us is off the table.
The rest of Trump's commercialist outlook is that nations in the Middle East are going to have to learn to live together in peace and that peace will benefit everyone much more than repeating centuries of hatred, reprisals, and wars.

I agree on the money, but to me the bigger problem is that it sets us up to be in the situation we're in now.
Where we are being maneuvered by the same ghouls in the deep state who maneuvered the Ukraine war in to existence. It's much, much harder for them to do that if we don't have American troops everywhere on the planet and if we're not using the CIA to overthrow governments all over the world and we're not using American dollars to prop up regimes / pay off warlords / train Jihadists / whatever the fuck else we're doing.
It's the same way we sleep walked in to the war in Vietnam.

Treaty arrangement going back to the Camp David Accords. Israel gets about 3.5 billion or so while Egypt gets about 1.3 billion. For the most part, a lot of the Israeli and Egyptian aid is spent on US weaponry which is why Egypt has M-1 tanks and Israel F-16's and F-35's.
There are far worse sinkholes in the budget than the relatively modest amount of military aid given to both countries so as to not fight against each other. Bribing them has worked now for over 50 years.

He is from Queens. People cuss from NY more than the South where I am from. He is tired. He is fed up. And now he has to go deal with the stuttering clusters in NATO. I hope he gets some sleep.

I don't identify as a libertarian, although I may have when I was much younger.
I identify as a Republican who does not support endless wars. Like, you know, much of the party. And virtually all of the R party prior to WWII and the Cold War. And, at least based on their rhetoric, pretty much every R candidate for President with the exception of John McCain, since the end of the Cold War.
The neocons in the Republican party moved over to the D side and were wholly repudiated by Trump. That's why Dick Cheney and his daughter endorsed and campaigned for Kamala, because she was "tough on Iran" and Trump was going to be "weak."
So I think your views and rhetorical style might be a bit more appreciated on that side of the aisle, frankly.

Back when I was on a university task force for something or other, I stumbled across the information that most psych majors had mental illness problems themselves and were seeking to figure out exactly what was wrong with them and how to fix themselves.
Practicing psychologists come from psych undergrad majors so a fair chunk of psychologists themselves have or had mental issues.
I personally think the confessional system employed by the RCC or pastoral counseling are a better framework for resolving issues. A lot of people with troubles simply need someone to talk to that will not betray their trust.

The Suez Canal and the Strait, no "s" by the way, of Hormuz are two of the most vital shipping lanes in the world. If they are disrupted by war it becomes the world's problem, like it or not.
Yesterday, Xi slapped down the mullahs when they hinted at closing the Hormuz. Why? Because China's economy and to a lesser extent some of the other Asian countries, can't function without Iranian oil. Shut down the Suez and our economy along with the rest of the world takes a big hit.
And wether we like it or not there are elements in Iran that would like to see us removed from the planet every bit as much as Israel. Great Satan and all that. Trump demonstrated exactly how to deal with this problem and it's not boots on the ground. If they didn't learn their lesson with the first hit then hit them again and keep hitting until they do learn. And then go home.

I think part of the issue is that the US used to have two really big moats keeping us from trouble so any military issues were relatively brief such as the War against the Barbary Pirates, the War of 1812, etc.
With missiles and nukes, a bored or nutjob Kim Jong Il or some crazed mullah having delusions of a hidden 12th imam rising from a well have effectively erased those borders.
Uller Uprising, IMHO, is one of H. Beam Piper's best work along with his Paratime series.
Both involve a secret that is mainly just a bag of engineering tricks but give those of ill intent seeking power a means of attacking far bigger and more successful countries. Uller investigates what would have happened if the Sepoy rebellion took place with the rebels gaining the power of nukes. Paratime, the difficulty in keeping the Paratime secret of being able to travel between realities with to sometimes evil parallel societies.

99% of people you tell your troubles to will use it for their own advantage or to fuck you unless there's a legal restriction. Such people are hard to find. And as someone who's gone the pastoral counseling route with different individuals, I can tell you it was naive and ineffectual at best. Reciting a Bible verse, a couple Christian book store bumper sticker platitudes. and telling you to pray about it is pretty useless for things like major depression, OCD, ADHD, abuse trauma, infidelity, marital disintegration, drug addiction, etc.

The profession has entirely changed. Watch the videos by Leslie Elliott Boyce on YouTube ("The Radical Center"), which is on the seemingly boring tropic of "therapist training" -- she reveals that ALL therapists are now trained in extreme Critical Race Theory and Gender Politics, and they are compelled to turn their careers/practices into promoting extreme leftist ideology, brainwashing their clients to be filled with hate, resentment, victim-mentality, etc. (if they are minorities), and suicidal self-loathing (if they are white/straight). It's truly horrifying. The entire field of psychology has been infiltratrated, weaponized and destroyed.

Not a surprise that a profession that involves someone always holding life or death in their hands with the slightly touch right or wrong would start getting mental health issues from the constant state of stress.
Same for those that constantly hear the worst of the worst of mental health issues in others - a different form of mental stress with the same outcome (and they know how to diagnose themselves immediately)...

In 6 hours, Iran was to cease;
After another 12 hours, Israel was to cease. The intervening 12 hours was for Iran to demonstrate they were going to comply before Israel would be required to comply.
After another 12 hours of compliance from both sides, peace would be declared.
It looks like Iran was unable to refrain from aggression, which we all expected, but I don't know what time chunk this happened in.

As far as another war in Europe or the Middle East? I agree, those are, 9 out of 10 times, not worth fighting. And if they are, let's go through the normal war declaration process so we can all be on the same page about what we're doing, why, what our contingency plans are, what the risks are, etc.

So should it be American foreign policy to institute regime changes in every regime across the world that has innocent blood on their hands? Because that sounds like quite the undertaking.
And what if we do a regime change, but like Afghanistan or Iraq, we end up replacing a government with innocent blood on their hands with another government with innocent blood on their hands? We just keep the wars going until we find someone we like? What if the people don't like that guy? Or does that not matter?
This seems like quite the path to endless wars. Which I'm sure many in DC and the MIC would love, but I don't think is in the best interest of, well, the rest of us.

I don't really see psychologists as doing much better to be honest. And psychiatrists prescribe pills as candy that do real damage to people.
Substance addiction is more of a medical problem combined often with psychological underpinnings along with certain medical conditions based on biological issues like OCD, autism, etc.
But, I have seen ill trained 'psychologists' actually make things worse as I had to deal with such for students with needs. One such psychologist used her own step kid as a research subject and another had documentation that they had fetal alcohol syndrome so were not responsible for violent outbursts with instructors. Turned out all of their 'violence' was directed at female instructors, not males which explicitly negates the entire fetal alcohol syndrome diagnosis. People with such do not distinguish between sexes as targets for their outbursts.

The profession has entirely changed. Watch the videos by Leslie Elliott Boyce on YouTube ("The Radical Center"), which is on the seemingly boring tropic of "therapist training" -- she reveals that ALL therapists are now trained in extreme Critical Race Theory and Gender Politics, and they are compelled to turn their careers/practices into promoting extreme leftist ideology, brainwashing their clients to be filled with hate, resentment, victim-mentality, etc. (if they are minorities), and suicidal self-loathing (if they are white/straight). It's truly horrifying. The entire field of psychology has been infiltratrated, weaponized and destroyed.

Probably why you don’t see anyone improving. One of my clients is a PhD therapist. I honestly love her and her entire demeanor. I am sure she is more liberal than I am, because that doesn’t take much, but she is not out there doing what you described. She told me therapy is not and should not be a permanent feature or you are trading one crux for another. The goal in therapy should be not to need a therapist, but have tools to respond appropriately to the world. Now maybe something big happens and you need to go back for a little reset, but it’s not supposed to be a forever situation. You are supposed to actively be working on fixing things.

Hopefully security is not coming off a bender, in more ways than one, from Amsterdam.
I highly recommend a security dyke woman from Shipol Airport whom I named Helga to be head of security. She messed with me and I sure as heck don't look like a terrorist (well, I didn't then, I do today). That airport is well secured from the times I have flown in and out.

To preview succinctly, the Trump Doctrine consists of a series of business-like, iterative steps for all uses of American military force, and it performs as follows:
1. Identify America’s national interest.
2. Bargain with the prospective enemy.
3. If/when negotiations fail, conceal & misdirect.
4. Strike with precision and overwhelming force.
5. Achieve submission.
6. Bargain again (from a position of complete strength) with the defeated enemy.

PA has changed so much since C19; in that we've so many semi-transplanted from NYC and also NJ & DE.
Do you see it in your area? I see it in mine. And we can certainly in the NE part of the state. The streets are full of NY, NJ, DE licenses plates. (A few, but not most, are passing through on the roads.)
Loads of "affordable housing" has been purchased by those license plate holders and their extended families. They seem to go between their states of origin and PA, especially during elections, and also to "rent" many of those units from a day to months though they're neither AirBNB nor other rental source listed.
Many new owners/renters are clearly not the old time protestants, Jews, Roman Catholics, JWs, etc., nor are the lessees.

They can be. I am not arguing as far as universals that apply to everyone. Like religion, what works for you is good but the assumption that it works for everyone as a result is not.
In human affairs, we simply do not have certainty over why what might work for some, might not work for others. Why some people are susceptible to a malady while others are not. And whether talk therapy works or does not work.
We could try to answer some of these questions but that means the repugnant and cruel methods of operant conditioning for humans just like for animals. BF Skinner's work was replicable for example in a way that most human psychology studies fail to be. Reliance on bored freshman filling out surveys for extra credit in Psych 101 as a key insight on the human is flawed as was Kinsey using a sample filled with a convenience sample of perverts etc. to make generalizable comments about human sexuality.
So what works for a person should be continued but that does not mean that it can and should be extended to believe it works for everyone.

Looked that up, interesting backstory. About 40 or 50 years ago some promoter thought up the idea of building a huge airport for all of the supersonic passenger and cargo jets that he thought were going to be flying back and forth across the Atlantic and that would be too big for ordinary airports. He envisioned this as a hub for them to come and go and transfer from there to the rest of the country. With state support, he got one big runway built - and then the entire plan collapsed. I think either the state or county has been using that landing strip in the middle of nowhere for pilot training, but not much else. So it just sits there, waiting for someone to do something with it.

It can be bewildering, but honestly if you know what you're going to use it for, start there. Lighter oils for frying and high heat. Heavier "cold pressed" oils for flavoring and dressing.
If you want a good deep frying oil, look for peanut if you're not allergic.
Oh. Petroleum? Yeah, fuck nah, that shit's all rigged. Might as well ask someone to make the roulette wheel make sense.

I've been phasing out seed oils for a while now, and I don't love the smoke point of olive oil, so I've been using a lot of ghee and/or lard/ tallow the last few years.
I'd recommend it, it definitely does make everything taste better and a little bit goes a long way.
As far as crude oil, I only drink the sweet stuff -- Brent oil from the middle east.

Once we were doing a roof for a Hungarian Actress and her husband (Chef/Restaurant Owner)...
humping shingles up the ladder one morning, I luckily glanced through the window to see the Mrs coming out of the shower. She waved.
On my way down, she opened the window and asked if we would like coffee. Still naked.
She was the only good thing about roofing.

They always make perfect sense, if you understand the most important factor that is driving them.
Right now, they're dropping because Trump said it will be fine for China to buy Iranian oil again, which implies the sanctions are about to be dropped.
China was already buying Iranian oil, but now the US is going to quit complaining about it.

There's a girl outside the icehouse

And now she's dreaming of a new love
And she hopes he'll be there soon

Not out of the norm in the Houston area but what really helped me when I play or work in 90+ degree days is a product called flexifreeze. It is a neck wrap that you put in a flexible frozen water strip. Lasts for about 20-30 minutes and you can just put in another one as needed. Of course you have to have your cooler where you keep the replacements.

I dropped cooking with most of the vegetable oils aka corn oil, soybean oil, and especially canola years ago.
Pretty much olive oil and avocado oil with peanut oil for baking things like brownies.
Ghee for high temps in certain things like frying a steak (rare for me) or lard for pie crusts (very rare for me to do nowadays--usually graham cracker or some such instead of the traditional piecrust.

None of the bullshit clattering around in your stupid head makes a bit of difference anymore because You are dead. Now shut up and go to bed so you can get to work in the morning."
It actually worked.

Now more than ever, they need our support. Shop local and show that we stand with our immigrant communities.

That was one thing, growing up in St. Louis.
There were a lot of churches, and not just Catholic churches that were built in a similar style. Not as big or ornate, but close. They have always held a special place of awe in me.
We aren't Catholic, but we went to the Basilica for a service when my daughter was at Wash U. It was almost empty, although it was in the middle of the week. The structure is breathtaking, but again, it was empty. How sad.

An old church here in Denver was set on fire by a homeless couple who had been living in the church's bushes and menacing the preschool students (they were mad the church asked them nicely to stop it). Not all of it burned down.
Amazingly, the British company that had made the stained glass windows for the church 150+ years earlier had a policy of saving glass from each project so that they could fix the damaged windows to match what was destroyed.

America had developed a different character by then. Britain was never going to understand. They learned from their mistake with the commonwealth they created. But as we have seen, that still had its issues.

...and decades later, in a foreign land, I was able to follow the Mass perfectly because it was in Latin. The only thing I didn't understand was the sermon. it was a beautiful thing.

Not sure about Notre Dame, but the planning for most cathedrals and universities back in the day included planting trees for the future. Same holds true in England; in fact, I think the last time Oxford needed a beam for the dining hall or something, one of the gardeners quipped that it was about time someone asked for a tree.

This. There was never a good explanation of how the fire started in the first place. If it was an error by a contractor, we never heard anything about indictments or a lawsuit against them.
The French government knew that if Islamists were shown to have done it, it would have launched a holy war - which was probably the intention behind the act.

It's craven. And also pretty arrogant.
Burning a massively significant cathedral doesn't start a holy war. Just us pointing it out does. Poor dears didn't mean to start a holy war, they were just expressing themselves. Right?
Or maybe, i don't know, you could instead say "well Ok, Holy War it is then" and go beat their asses into fucking mush.

I saw that one during a Viking cruise a few years ago. It was impressive, but not on the level of the French cathedrals.
The tour guide was talking about the fact that we leveled 90% of the buildings in Cologne, and I asked him how many bombs hit the cathedral. He said about 30, but the structure, robust as it was, survived. It was damaged, but it survived.

When I took art history, my professor taught us (and it was on the test) that the three most important cathedrals in France, architecturally, could be remembered by "ARC":
Amiens
Reims
Chartres
Notre Dame is gorgeous, and easy for tourists to see because it's in the heart of Paris. But those three were more important and impressive architecturally.
Honestly, in the days after Notre Dame burned, I kept waiting anxiously to hear if one of those three cathedrals had also been set aflame.

Westminster Abbey has the same serene feeling of history, and I think I have been there four times as there is always something more to see. Simply to see the authors of English literature buried there had my mind reeling...my first trip was an English lit college tour.
During the fire of Notre Dame a lone moose limb was photographed on the roof, never to be discussed again.
I am thankful that Macron's (I think?) idea of a new, modern, cathedral was squashed down like the bug he is. We rebuild Christian cathedrals as Christians.

After the fire ravaged Notre-Dame, his family pledged 100 million euros to reconstruction efforts.
Their donations were a huge private chunk of the restoration financing. He and Salma Hayek attended the reopening.
(He's not perfect; he was dating Linda Evangelista around the time he dated Salma and got Linda pregnant. He asked her to abort and she refused, bless her. They had a nasty child support battle. But her son graduated high school not that long ago, and Salma as stepmom shot vid of the two of them together hugging.)

It's funny, because the actual number clearly is irrelevant to his statement, which means that his statement is indistinguishable from the proposition that "A Bunch of people died at H&N," which is quite possibly the most trite and useless thing it is possible to state.
A bunch of people died from two nuclear weapons.

IIRC, there was some confusion as just exactly the roofing contractor was doing at the time of the fire. Investigators put it down to a cigarette or electrical short probably caused by roofing contractor employees as no other authorized personnel were up there. But a minority hold that the fire started in two places which would make intentional arson more likely.
From what I remember, the roofing company hired the usual cheap menial labor which means Muslims as far as Paris goes. For a time, I think speculation centered on one of them as the perp but the whole thing has been airbrushed just as the PTB do on a routine basis when confronted with embarrassing facts that invade the world and invite the world does not work.

In fairness, innumeracy, apple and orange comparisons, a puffed up desire to use obfuscating language, and a paucity of results IS modern academia. Random 'facts' are employed simply to confirm the prejudices of the audience instead of describing reality. You can actually see via charting ideological preferences of professors exhibiting how academia rolled hard left and died in the last decade.
As far as professors, conservatives have disappeared, moderates are endangered, and hard leftists have captured it as the older generations of academics retire or quit.

Ugh. I'm the worst at this. My eyes just go center mass when i'm talking to anyone, especially if i'm actually thinking about what i'm saying or what they're saying. I just zonk out and look vaguely at mid-torso and go slightly cross-eyed. Old, young, male, female, doesn't matter. The eyes just shut down and go into neutral. You could probably throw a baseball at my face and I wouldn't flinch.
It's one of the reasons I generally don't merely avoid eye-contact (because eye-contact is physically painful), I just avoid any visual contact at all. Pick two or three spots on the wall behind them, pretend you got something in your eye, keep looking at whatever you were looking at before you got interrupted. Whatever it takes. Just don't look at anybody.
Life is hard.

Glackens died in 1938, so this painting comes from that year or earlier, right? A/C was nowhere near as widespread, even in America, as it is today. "Nude" would have been a sensible response to indoor life in a heat wave.

A Philadelphian, an illustrator, and one of the founders of the Ashcan School. He also did Reclining Female Nude (c. 1910) so he had a lots of pretty red and blue pencils to use in & around 1910.
It's a fine drawing but I'd probably pass hanging it.
I've also gone from envious that, in such art, parts are where they belong to admiring youth & hoping they'll understand the joys of it and that it, too, passes quickly.

It was supposed to go into a stable orbit just outside the Moon.
But, faulty telemetry data and they were off by 40kmh.
So, it's in this weird, irregular elliptical orbit around the Earth, that eventually passes the Lagrange point.
Where it orbits the Sun for a few decades.
And we lost track/forgot about it.
But, then it passes back to the other side of the Lagrange and goes into that elliptical orbit around the Earth.
And no one knew what it was. But confirmed what it was by spectrometry "that's our paint."
It's now back in the Sun orbit and will return to the Earth orbit in the 2040s.

In a sense, you have a point. We choose form when we don't have enough information to select on substance. Thus, I don't trust my money to someone who can't be bothered to dress like an adult. It brings his seriousness, his substance if you will, into question. Is this method infallible? Of course not. But if someone shows up with face tattoos, I'm certainly going to question his judgement, and therefore, not entrust him with anything I value.

Meh. The "fucktard" was forced. It didn't flow. Now, "and determine fucking substance" would have been perfect. Genuine. Authentic.
What I said was true. And you know it to be true, hence the reaction. Form was, and still is but to less of a degree, a big big thing. Do you REALLY care if your banker wears a three piece suit ? I don't ... I want to see the numbers. I want to know if my deposits are at least secure - and preferably in accounts keeping up with inflation.
But most people do not. And, again, its generational. They instinctively trust a man in a three piece suit with a fresh hair cut. I instinctively mistrust that man. He's showing me an image for a reason.

Now we're talking. What "cues" do you value ? This is important. You're hitting on it - and we can obviously disagree on the cues. But I think we can agree that, in the past, a three piece suit was the keys to the kingdom for several generations. I always thought it stupid. Hell, the Baptist Preacher always wore a three piece suit ... and I know for a fact those guys spent more time eating fried chicken and zipping their fly than anything else.
In a banker ? I want mine organized and prompt. I scan their office every time I walk in ... I don't want a mess. I want organized. And when I ask for something - I want to see it quickly. Again, that means organized.

I can concede that.
In a just world I could just cheer his dangling from a lamp post along with some of his other worthless journalist friends. I never assume my opponent is stupid. However, I am not willing to just concede they are not evil lying bastards who deserve whatever pain can be inflicted upon them.

IN DC, my experience has been that peers are (if anything) more cynical and open about the terrible reputations of their friends, but are also very good at gauging public perceptions, so I don't believe that for a minute about Todd. He knew about the Bidens, how thoroughly scummy they are, and lied about it for years.
Now he (like Fake Jake) is trying to repair the damage to his own reputation by claiming to be yet another victim of deception.

He's a talking head.
He's already worth little more than contempt.
"Aw, look at the little retard," is kind of a baseline reaction to his presence already. Him admitting he can't get basic facts right for literally decades is just icing.

In a banker ? I want mine organized and prompt. I scan their office every time I walk in ... I don't want a mess. I want organized. And when I ask for something - I want to see it quickly. Again, that means organized.
I use form as a first filter. If you can't bother to dress in a way that conveys that you take this thing (whatever it is) seriously, then I won't do business with you. That, of course, is not enough. The next hurdles are that I too want to see the numbers, the proof of your abilities. But to say form is of no value is a bridge too far.

The Morning Report — 6/ 24 /25
The Iranian regime approached the ceasefire on Tuesday morning local time by firing at least four (update: six) waves of missiles at Israel, with an impact on an apartment building that killed at least three civilians in Be’er Sheva. U.S. President Donald Trump had announced a ceasefire the day before, and called for “LOVE, PEACE, AND PROSPERITY” in the region. The Iranian regime apparently had other ideas for leaving a lasting impression, and fired nearly continuously, in wave after wave, for over an hour and a half before the ceasefire was set.God bless and keep you President Trump. But if you think you've achieved anything with this so-called ceasefire, you're delusional or you are being very badly advised. "Love, Peace and Prosperity?" jeez, even John Lennon is spinning in his grave with that howler! The world has yet to experience any prolonged/sustained period of that even between nations and ethnic/tribal groups that share even some commonality, let alone in the 1500 or so years since Islam first infected humanity. In my view, as the Eagles might sing it "It's another Taqqiya sunrise . . . " And for those who do not know what that word means, including perhaps you Mr. President, here you go: The invaluable religionofpeace (dot-com) lists a number of verses from the koran and hadith that go into great detail about this, but here's the abstract.
Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other... unless the purpose of lying is to "smooth over differences" or "gain the upper-hand over an enemy." There are several forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, the best known being taqiyya (the Shia name). These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause of Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.As I've been saying and writing since the Gaza invasion/pogrom of 10/7 and then the Israeli and now US attacks on the Iranian head of the snake, it's the Islam stupid! It will not rest until it has conquered the world and everyone has submitted or is dead. In the wake of 9/11 when Dubya declared we're not at war with Islam, I knew we were in trouble. Well, we may not be at war with Islam but for those with their head up their ass, Islam has been at war with us since the Seventh Century. And be sure to leave a little neck showing out of your perineum to make the lopping off of your head easier for Hassan and his rusty scimitar. And as if to illustrate the point
Dr. Yasir Qadhi, a radical Imam, told his fellow Muslims to side with Iran over the U.S. and Israel during a lengthy sermon on Saturday at the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) in Texas.Yasir that's our baby, I don't mean maybe. And he's right here in Texas. Let alone every other mosque in America and all over the world. If you feel like vomiting, click the link and you'll see everything he says is an absolute prevaricated lie and blood libel. On a happier note, I see that the Israeli Air Force quite literally blew the doors off of the notorious Evin Prison.
“Security footage shows one missile strike blasting open the doors of Evin Prison, where the Islamic Republic held its opponents and critics in brutal conditions, with public hangings,” . . . “In 1988, thousands of Evin prisoners were executed after cursory trials, according to Human Rights Watch. Many of those killed were viewed as a threat to the new Islamic government,” The New York Times reported. . .Noted Iranian dissident Masih Alinejad stated on X, “The Islamic Republic’s notorious prison, Evin was bombed by Israel. The regime responded by surrounding the prison with security forces to make sure none of the political prisoners could escape. This is the reality in Iran. At a time of war, political prisoners must be released not held hostage. If you want to act, aim your pressure at the Islamic Republic to release them now.” . . . “I really don’t know what will happen next,” Mesdaghi wondered. “If Khamenei survives this attack, I fear the regime will retaliate by executing more political prisoners. That’s why the world has to care — has to stand with the Iranian people, especially those being held hostage by this regime.”For the sake of Israel, the civilized world and the long-suffering Iranian people, I hope that blowing Evin's doors off is both symbolic and a harbinger of liberation for all of us, from evil and tyranny wherever it may be. Be it the Finsbury Park mosque, DNC headquarters, Soros HQ, the Chi-Com Central Committee or wherever. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a great day!

- Among the initial moves Iran could make would be to disrupt oil tanker traffic through the critical Strait of Hormuz. This could impact oil and natural gas markets globally, with exports largely being blocked out of Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The National Pulse previously reported that, in the past, Iran has demonstrated its capacity to threaten shipping in the strait, using tactics such as deploying mines and targeting oil tankers during the Iran-Iraq War. Notably, if Iran were to deploy a significant number of mines in the strait’s waters, it could effectively close the passage to ships for the foreseeable future.

The Pro-Iran forces found a narrative that doesn't put them on the 20 side of the 80/20.
There is a continuum from Ignore Iran to Turn Iran Into Glass. Along this spectrum are the Leftists and Libertarians (who found unity here) who are completely irrational and would rather criticize any action rather than put forth arguments of their own.
Trump hasn't quite figured out how to marginalize the America-Haters outside of the 80/20 tactic.
I'm of the camp that no one is going to nuke anybody, ever, no matter who has The Bomb or All of the Bombs.
In fact, it keeps on being the US that does all the thing the MIC fear others will do: drop atomic weapons on another nation, drop bunker busters, clusters, MOABs, etc. The only hypocritical thing we haven't done yet is nail some other country with tactical nukes.

The Bible is filled with wisdom that says man is a warring creature until The End. if you don't like God, there are:
• Thomas Hobbes (Leviathan)
• Friedrich Nietzsche (Beyond Good and Evil)
• Carl von Clausewitz (war is merely the continuation of politics by other means)
• Immanuel Kant (yeah, he rallied on "perpetual peace" but recognized the embedded human nature of war)
The Banksters/Deep State/MIC, while not sharing the body counts of Communism on their own citizens, love perpetual global war.

https://tinyurl.com/IceKingJOE-NotJustMistakenEvil
Libs truely do believe in the Supremacy of Evil which is why they seek equivocation with one that knows none -- with the vein hope that it destroys them last.
LIB's plead for a Morality which holds COMPROMISE as it's standard of Value, making it possible to judge Virtue on the basis of the number of Values which one is willing to Betray.
But why would they do that? It's more than just no Valuing their own lives. LIBs know, America will NOT be destroyed by its Enemies, but rather by those who's job it was to protect it. And the quickest way to destroy a those (and indeed, ALL) souls is to force it to do the mediocre. This is why the LIBs uphold Moral Vandalism,
they they seek first to deprive you of your Virtue, and then your very life.
LIBs. Reward the guilty, the Punish the Innocent, and they ABSOLUTELY CHAMPION the Mediocre -- now, at least you know why.
LIBs? What Price their Vision?

I’m still crossing my fingers that the regime won’t hold over the next year.
They’ve taken a lot of damage, physically but also to the reputation of the regime itself.
My hope is they still aren’t long for this world, even with the ceasefire, which may not last long.
My fear is that thus just gives them a few years to rebuild and we’re back where we started only the Iranians have learned some valuable lessons, along with Hamas & Hezbollah.

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases.
This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.
From Justice Sotomayor's dissent: Given its conduct
in these proceedings, the Government’s posture resembles
that of the arsonist who calls 911 to report firefighters for
violating a local noise ordinance
I cant believe this!! SCOTUS are complicit. Is due process meaningless now?
These authoritarian shitbags shit on the Constitution daily. If we ever get out of this, we need to make the Nuremberg trials look like a practice run. 😡
So now it's now "legal" for ICE to grab ANYONE off the street and send them into slavery to another country without due process.

I believe so.
I think that one was just before the cease fire. There was another one or two into northern Israel that Iran is denying having done. Israel sounds like it will retaliate.
But that seems to be treated like a "hiccup", with the deal supposedly still on. Maybe it was some rogue actors trying to keep the party going.
Personally, I'm still hoping that this 24 hour cease fire is really just an opportunity for the regime to escape alive, and that they will make use of it.

My theory is that the supposed peace deal was a diplomatic way for Trump to tell the regime "you have 24 hours to escape, otherwise you're dead".
I remember Baghdad Bob talking tough up until the day nobody in the Iraqi government didn't show up for work.
It could be that I was right, but that they chose poorly. Iran is isolated - "the cavalry is not coming" - and Israel can hit them from the sky with impunity.

I think the Right is approaching the debate all wrong.
The Constitution is very clear. "Due process" is required for the government to take your money (fine you) or take your freedom (put you in jail). Deportation is neither of those - it's giving you a ride home.
It's like if a security guard finds you milling about a building. They don't need due process to simply have you leave. But if they want to have you arrested for trespassing, due process is required.

President Donald Trump unleashed a fiery but mostly peaceful statement to the press just moments before boarding Marine One.
Trump declared, "We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f*ck they're doing. You understand that."

The specific answer, and this supplements what you say, is what happened in Syria, which at one point had the most powerful military in the Arab World, and which was a part of all the mischief.
Syria today is run by another “bad guy”, but what he does no longer matters. Why not? Because he has no tanks, he has no Air Force, he has no navy, he has no missiles, and he only barely controls about half of his own country. He’s no threat to anyone outside his borders now, because the ability to be a threat was taken away from Syria.

Persia is not natively Islamic. Look up the pre-1979 pictures of hawt bikini babes lounging around. And that's within the lifetime of plenty of the people living there, so I'm optimistic about any successor regime.
Remember, they tried to overthrow the mullahs themselves about 10 years ago but Obama was on the side of the mullahs so it failed.

You would probably know better than anybody here. From what I hear, there are Muslims in Israel who have no problem living side by side with Jews there. But of course, there are others who are a problem.
But I actually don't know what you mean by "Moderate Muslims ≠ moderate Islam." Maybe you're saying that Muslims could be in a non-moderate Islamic sect, but still be "moderate" anyway? And that moderate sects of Islam can still have crazed & violent radicals?

I have to disagree here. One fundamental difference is that the person one holds up as an example, the one your trying to emulate, is very different between the two. Christians try to emulate a carpenter who healed people and Muslims try to emulate a warlord rapist slaver.

I think the origin of the English word pilgrimage is ultimately a synecdoche involving "trails" or "roads" somehow. Related to perigrine, perigrination. Peri meaning around our about. "Wandering" maybe.

This is one of the reasons I oppose American foreign wars... It's been so long that nobody here can even remember what war is about anymore. It's about destroying another country's future so you can have a better one.
In the case of a powerful, recalcitrant enemy like Iran, it's about destroying the country itself altogether, so it can never threaten you again.
Every country from the dawn of history until about 75 years ago understood this, until America decided it was actually more like a football game where everybody is just playing and then they should all be friends afterward.

So I have crossed "Gutfeld" off my list which makes Fox News unwatchable now. Gutfeld was the only thing on Fox I would watch. But when Kat agreed with the Dems that Trump should be impeached, that was it.
Posted by: Case
And yet, to Dems, it's the most evil boogeyman, indoctrinating otherwise normal people into becoming far-right Nazi istaphobes. Pretty amazing, considering Trump got 77 million votes in 2024, and Fox's Prime Time viewership is around 3.5-4 million.

Perhaps more misdirection. Things on the outside of all of this that we all see(eg most if not all of us Morons) aren't the entire picture after all.
If the objective is to remove nuke capability and damage the Mullah's reputation/authority, and it has been accomplished, then continued attacks may not make sense through that lens.
Scope creep is a thing.
Another thought is do the American People have the will to support significant US involvement in a prolonged campaign against Iran? Defined by direct action, not through a proxy that is.
My perspective is Iran is playing for time. Maybe we and Israel are stringing them along or something. But I don't have the full perspective that CINC and JCS have.

Hello Russia and China. It's a question of when.
The greatest purveyor of evil and global violence is the United States.
Who blows up pipelines? Who attacks the national banks of other nations? Who has policies of dumping pallets of cash to terrorist regimes? Who bribes foreign officials to undermine their nation's culture and introduce sodomy, abortion and child mutilation?
America used to be a Great Nation in the global community sense, then it was taken over by Leftists.

Your cluelessness knows no bounds.
There is a stark difference between Islam that preaches and demands the subjugation and death of all nonbelievers as its central tenets to that of Christianity where individuals bastardize the central tenets of love and understanding and charity to attack other faiths.
Show me where in the Bible or Talmud where it is written that in order to be a true Christian or Jew you must kill all un believers.

Understood and btw that’s one of my issues with the NIV and why I often go back and look at the Hebrew word. They are trying to interpret the “meaning” that is, in this case, that “pathways” ultimately is intended to mean “pilgrimage” in the modern sense. But I personally believe that’s an obfuscation. For example, if you search your heart for pathways to the Lord, it’s not necessarily a “pilgrimage”. YMMV

slashed our services
People with Kings and Ayatollahs (of Rock n Rolla) are more free than the American the rely on SERVICES.
SERVICE History
duty which a tenant is owed to a lord, assistance, form followed in Christian worship, provision of food at a table
SERF History
borrowed from French, going back to Old French, "servant, serf," going back to Late Latin servus (in the phrase servus Deī "servant of God"), going back to Latin, "slave"
To need the services of your government is to be a slave.

My understanding of Islam is that Jews and Christians are referred to as "people of the Book", and are not required to be killed - they're just second class citizens. Yet, some of them find an excuse to get homicidal anyway.
So how come Trump was welcomed into Saudi Arabia with their Sword Dance being performed, instead of them executing him, if all of Islam is so genocidal? How can half the people in Israel be Muslim, and still have a functioning society? It's apparently not impossible for Muslims to get along with others, if they decide to put being civilized ahead of old school theocracy.

People usually forget taqiyya's sibling, muruna: https://tinyurl.com/3y4453rb
"...muruna, which literally means “stealth” or “flexibility.” It is far worse than taqiyya, since it sanctions all prohibitions that block Muslim interests, even blasphemous ones. Muruna allows Muslims to sow division and confusion in the Western world. . .
Muruna is literally accomplished by permitting behavior normally so eschewed by Sharia that Westerners logically assume a more moderate version of Islam when such prohibitions are suddenly permitted. Westerners’ eyes are, in fact, deceiving them. Muruna is about going to great lengths to gain interests through a much deeper level of deception while simultaneously lowering the guard and gaining the support of the infidels.
It is a tactical maneuver meant to deceive the West into thinking that the Muslim Brotherhood is acquiring western modernity."
See Huma Abedin marrying Jews, and Ilhan Omar and Zorhan embracing trans rights (i.e. sterilizing Westerners).
They are not defying Islam when they do this, this is muruna used to destroy us from within.

Interesting point, I agree with you to an extent.
While thing are certainly different now, this idea of “peace” and friendship after war didn’t really start after WWII.
For Americans, in particular, we got the idea after the Civil War when the country came back together fate it was over. It still took about thirty years and the Spanish-American War for those wounds to start to heal.
For Europe, the new kind of peace started after the devastating Napoleonic Wars, and the Congress of Vienna. That first real international peace conference set the model for how wars were concluded afterwards.
WWI & WWII ending with the League of Nations and then the Untied Nations comes from those precedents of peace followed by shared reconciliation.

Well, let's not pretend that other people - including Christians - haven't ever tortured and killed people over what they believe.
Come to think of it, the Holocaust was done by Christians, although not in the name of Christianity. But that's an example of people not necessarily going along with what their religion dictates. Hitler certainly wasn't turning the other cheek.
People set their differences - and/or their religious principles - aside when they believe there is something in it for them. Unless they're really stubborn.

Nope, not even close. We are pointing out that Islam has aspects that make it different, and very corrosive. Another example is the habit of murdering critics. Criticism in western society is a brake on radicalism and other whacky behavior.
Further, Western Liberal excuses for the violent practitioners of Islam is an accelerant if not a catalyst.
I remember a while back the Brits were dealing with inveterate Islamist constantly calling for Jihad and inciting violence. They couldn't deport him because he had the death penalty waiting for him at home. He had the death penalty at home because he was a crazy violent person who had committed crimes. London was trying absorb someone who had been expelled from an Islamic country for being violent.

That’s at best a non sequitur and your entire act is a bit tiresome.
We will, and have killed anyone who is a threat to our nation and people. For the better part of the last 20+ years that’s coincidentally been mostly Muslims. You need to ask yourself- why? Truthfully, what have those nations and groups said and done? What drives them? You’ll find it’s a theological loathing for anyone who doesn’t submit to their ways. The every essence of liberty allows us to live side by side with people whom we may not agree on everything, except for the very fundamental right to pursue happiness without subjugating or otherwise forcing people to agree with them or comport with their beliefs. That, at a very basic level, does not comport with Islam. If you’ve read the Quran, you would know that. Anyone, Muslim or not, who wants to threaten us with extinction is going to find themselves stabbed in the heart with the tip of a spear, and I will be holding it.

I like to think that it was really to allow the regime to leave peacefully. It seems unclear as to whether they are taking that offer, or whether they want to go down in flames. Perhaps the leadership has been so fractured by the elimination of the leadership that they're not fully in control of their forces, causing a lapse in their cease-fire.
Or I could be wrong, and we won't have the permanent solution we've hoped for. Maybe we'll see real soon.

Among the largest black markets in the United States are:
• Undocumented labor
• Illicit drugs
• Human/sex trafficking
All three are a direct result of porous borders and Washington’s decades-long refusal to meaningfully enforce immigration laws.
The shadow economy propped up by Washington’s negligence has led to human suffering on a massive scale and a severe market distortion.
President Trump is the first leader in a generation to take this problem seriously. This is why the administration is so committed to passing the One Big Beautiful Bill.
This legislation is just as much an immigration bill as it is a tax bill. It will finish the President’s border wall and provide federal law enforcement with resources to hire thousands of new personnel to combat illegal immigration, drug cartels, and human trafficking.
The goal is to end exploitation in black markets and secure the border for years to come.
The American people called for immigration sanity by voting for President Trump. It’s time for Congress to answer the call.

Katie Porter will drop out of the race if VP Harris runs.
Kamala might be the better candidate. It would be a tough break for Porter to run into another big Dem name, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
Porter also had her chance. She got third in the statewide Senate race. Harris has won all of her statewide California elections, including the last one for California's electoral votes. I'm going with the proven winner.
Literally any Democrat will win California these days. If Harris runs, the party will clear the path for her. Same ole entrenched power. We need a new direction. I won't vote for another decade of same old shit.
do you think a Black woman is not capable of taking us in a new direction? You have to be out of your mind to think that Harris would not bring something new to the table, on multiple levels: gender and race

My point being though that if Islam can't coexist then it will, or at least should face fire. That will require work and questioning of dogma on the Islam side. Are they capable of it, or will society have to enforce those boundaries until they come to it, if ever?

The inquisition is wildly misunderstood. If you don't do a search on Spain and the Pope's response you'll never get it.
As for Islam - the issue with Islam is that the later "chapters" in their scripture are more violent and doctrinaire than their beginnings. Unlike Christianity, which despite its intramural sparring through the years, preaches forgiveness and love and peace, Islamic doctrine is subjugation and death. There is no reformation construct available to its followers. Just follow it or don't. A devout Muslim is called to do damage to his non-muslim neighbors. If he doesn't, he is not acting according to the wishes of allah. It's an interesting problem.

Christianity, at least the Catholic church, had a similar problem in the 1200's and that led to the review of the original Greek and Aramaic documents coming out of the middle east, and the discovery that t he Latin Bible of the time was corrupted by mistranslations and misinterpretations.

Modern day Christianity doesn't really control much of anything. I can't think of any armies under the command of religious authorities. But you see plenty of hatred from the "love thy neighbor" crowd. Not just against Muslims, but also against Jews.
Where you have serious trouble in the Islamic world is where some fundamentalist cleric is in charge of the government. Turkey started being a problem when the government ceased to be secular, for example. Iran is something akin to a theocracy. Israel is surrounded by Muslims, but the only ones that have given it trouble in the last 20 years are Iran and its proxies, right?

In point of fact, the Aryan Nazi supermen -- the ones who conceived and ran the concentration camps--were devoutly Atheist. They believed that since God didn't exist they were free to do whatever they wanted.

From above, "Dr. Yasir Qadhi, a radical Imam, told his fellow Muslims to side with Iran over the U.S. and Israel during a lengthy sermon on Saturday at the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) in Texas."
Yes, we remember that in November 2024, the 'suspect' in the New Orleans New Years Massacre, Shamsud-Din Jabbarwas, was said to have been 'likely' radicalized in a mosque with deep ties to Yasir Qadhi.
>FBI New Orleans, Media Coordinator, January 14, 2025, in part, "FBI Victim Services has identified at least 57 individuals who were physically injured, in addition to the 14 deceased victims, during the New Year’s Day attack.

In part, "In other cases, people may deflate their income because they realize, for instance, that claiming to make only $30,000 instead of $70,000 means they will qualify for higher subsidy amounts."
Decades ago, the feds, state unions, etc. worked towards & retired solely on pensions. OTOH many other lacked pensions for their employment so they worked to qualify for social security benefits upon retirement or/or for qualified disability.
The "no double dipping rules" are essential GONE. Nowadays, even feds work on FERS, a combination of pension, social security and a thrift savings plan to which the government further contributes.
Also, being employed to qualify for certain federal financial aid and related programs was dropped by many states.
Further, some states will accept an individual showing an income of a certain range solely from social security & then qualify that individual for all types of benefits - financial, food, home, medical, etc. (I see that all of the time nowadays.) They'll turn a blind eye if pension or other reportable income exists.

Badly advised. Duplicity is the the name of Iran's game.
"As of now, there is NO agreement on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations. However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people... we have no intention to continue our response afterwards. [But] The final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be made later."

AI: Medicaid eligibility is also based on income and assets. Winning $1 million would likely push the person's income above the eligibility limit in most states, leading to a loss of coverage. However, if the winnings were taken as a lump sum, it might only affect eligibility temporarily.

I am very glad the Supreme Court finally agreed to more deportation.
There is a sob story, UK DM, of a girl, who now bleaches her hair blondish, who was pulled over in Colorado. When she was 7yrs old her parents "overstayed" their visa visit from Brazil. So she's had 12yrs or so to become legal along with her family. Now in college, no doubt paid for by the taxpayers due to damn DACA.
She gained 28k in her pocket from a sad and whiney Go Fund Me. Said the food was awful in detention and "even the bread was soggy." My heart bleeds not one drop.
Deport her ass along with her entire family. I am cold and feel no sympathy for these people we prop up with our money...that should go to American citizens and especially our veterans living on the street.
Thanks, Obama. On top of your pallets of cash to Iran, which Biden helped in his error, you brought in DACA. Where the kids, raised on our dollars, think they deserve everything, including, apparently, free scholarships to college on our dime.

Top Story
- How many PhDs does the world need? (Nature) (archive site)
Or more precisely, how many academic PhD students does each existing academic PhD need to train in order to meet demand?
The answer is, more or less, one.
If you're working on a PhD, time to find a job. Like, now. It's only going to get worse.
Tech News
- Compared with TSMC's 2nm process, Intel's upcoming 18A - 1.8nm - process is up to 25% faster and uses 36% less power than Intel's existing 3nm process. (Tom's Hardware)
Yeah, the article doesn't actually compare anything against TSMC, only Intel's 1.8nm against Intel's 3nm and older processes.
- The judge presiding over the New York Times vs. OpenAI lawsuit rejects claims that she created a mass surveillance nightmare after she created a mass surveillance nightmare. (Ars Technica)
OpenAI has been forbidden from deleting anything.
Including data completely unrelated to the case that customers have requested be deleted.
- Apple keeps taking down its own ads. (The Verge)
This started a year ago, when it was pointed out that Apple's "Crush" ad for the iPad displayed a positive and inspiring image - when you played in in reverse.
The multi-trillion-dollar company followed up for an ad libelling Thailand, and one highlighting features of voice app Siri that don't actually exist.
The latest ad merely seems guilty of being bad.
Maybe their PC went bleep-bleep-bleep-bleep and devoured it.
- Hinge CEO Justin McCleod says dating AI chatbots is "playing with fire". (The Verge)
Next they'll be saying I can't have tea parties with my stuffed animals.

I lived in Old Algiers, the "Point" as it's called, in '88-'89, and it was still affordable and nice. Many blocks, esp. close to the river, are still very nice, and the area has a pleasant neighborhood feel with coffee shops and churches. But the bad blocks, and other rundown areas, surround the good section, and you have to drive through the DMZs to get to the nice parts of the Point.

• Just over an hour later, Israel said it had agreed to the US ceasefire proposal, while Iran said earlier it would stop attacking if Israel did the same

"CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL. On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, “THE 12 DAY WAR.” This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will!

My mom had a bright idea similar to this years ago.
She had a problem with always running late.
To solve that she decided to set all the clocks fifteen minutes ahead of the actual time.
It worked for a few weeks, until her brain caught up and reminded her that the clocks were wrong and eventually she began to tell herself. “I’ve still got fifteen minutes left” and she started cutting it closer and closer until she was right back where she started.
This idea lasted a few years and then it was back to the correct time on the clocks again.

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

Hiya, TRex! Was thinking about you last night. Had dinner in Calgary at a little restaurant called Pho Dinosaur. They have a big painting on the wall of a TRex toting a bowl of pho, as he overturns a picnic table, and the couple who were seated there run off screaming.
And the pho was delicious, too.

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

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

I just read about a local Vietnamese Italian fusion restaurant. they make a pho with capellini. They call it phollini. The reviewer said it was surreal.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2. Proving they still have a little bit of fight in them, the Ukrainians were able to recapture a village in the northeast (Sumy) area. The Russians had abruptly stopped advancing in this area about a week ago.
3. The Ukrainian High Command announced a reorganization of the Army into a "Corps" structure, for better offensive capabilities. At this point, deck chairs on the Titanic come to mind.

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

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

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

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

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

One minute into the film is this:
To all Indigenous, Black, and People of Color who are targeted and have been displaced through Border Control on stolen land.
May we expose government violences, propel change and honor the voices of those who have been silenced.
Wander was filled on the homelands of the Pueblo, Navajo and Apaches peoples
That went right to the most extreme place possible. This should be a shit show. And yes I'm watching it. Is it too much to ask that Tommy Lee Jones's character be a zombie that eats everybody but Border Control? I am absolutely convinced it's not though I am betting the movie producers have a somewhat different point of view.

But I think people are taking Trump too literally. I don't really believe he spoke to Iran. I believe the post was a MESSAGE to Iran's leadership that they have a 24 hour window where they don't have to worry about being attacked by Israel.
I suspect the idea is that they're supposed to take the opportunity to GTFO.
If they DON'T take the deal, they're DEAD, plain and simple. So I think it's a thinly veiled THREAT, not really a peace deal.
What if Iran's regime stops fighting and DOESN'T LEAVE? Maybe he knows that would never happen.

So maybe the Iranian part started then, about midnight, Eastern US time. That's supposed to go 12 hours, and then Israel joins in for another 12 hours. It's unclear whether Israel is allowed to let lose on Iran without Iran firing back or not.
Again, I suspect this was an EDICT by Trump, not an actual "agreement". How I HOPE this goes is that the leadership of Iran will do the same thing that Saddam Hussein's government did - they were talking big one day, and the next they were nowhere to be found. I suspect that Trump was REALLY giving the regime a chance to ESCAPE, rather than be killed, in the interest in leaving the country more intact for the Iranian people who will remain.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Something SECRET is going on.
What I think that is, is that the Iranian regime is being allowed to Get The Fuck Out Of There, alive, rather than destroy the country. Trump and Israel want the people of Iran to inherit a physically intact country when the regime is gone.
This is exciting! What ELSE would call for such secrecy?

It's just the opposite. It shows that they ARE defeated. No, they don't WANT peace - but they know they've lost, and that it's their LAST chance to take a swipe at the Jews.

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

Tucker Carlson: It’s worth pointing out that a strike on the Iranian nuclear sites will almost certainly result in thousands of American deaths at bases throughout the Middle East, and cost the United States tens of billions of dollars. The cost of future acts of terrorIsm on American soil may be even higher. Those aren’t guesses. Those are the Pentagon’s own estimates.

I'm sitting with her right now. She looks terrible, but she's snoring away. I can't be here long. I've gotta get back on the road tomorrow. I'd like for the end to be quick and painless. Me and my siblings can't stand seeing her like this.

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

And more interesting in terms of the so-called ceasefire announced, apparently Iran-backed Iraqi outfit hits US facility (radars) near Baghdad (Camp Victory, which would be the airport, or Taji, not far, but AFAIK long since not used by US).

If the Qatar thing was as bizarre a case of kabuki (on both sides) as is actually claimed, why TF didn't the turbans just make sure all the rounds went into the drink (as apparently one did)?

She's in hospice care now and it looks like the end is near. They're giving her morphine every couple of hours to help her sleep.
I'm sitting with her right now. She looks terrible, but she's snoring away. I can't be here long. I've gotta get back on the road tomorrow. I'd like for the end to be quick and painless. Me and my siblings can't stand seeing her like this.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I've spent my career building businesses and I look at government and ask all the time "What the fuck are you doing?".
The B2 is 35 years old. We've had an overwhelming military advantage over everyone for decades and our leaders on both sides of the aisle have either surrendered or squandered our advantage. Trump knows how to use power and it's great to see.
I trust him to make deals to our advantage. He's not perfect, he will make mistakes. But he is going to push our interests way past where they have been in decades.

Who did we take in? I've heard many people say we took Shiro Ishii in, but as far as I can tell that's false. I do know the US helped Unit 731 cover up their crimes. The Soviets wanted to prosecute them, but we wanted to keep the data to ourselves, so we blocked their access to records and people.

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

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

The Qatar base was evacuated probably before we sent our bombers.
Also today alone, IDF took out at least 6 command and control centers simultaneously with 500-1000 IRGC inside and a bunch of air fields around the country including planes and refuelers.

The Iranians have used negotiations as a ploy, to stall for time while they strengthen their position. Meaningless, fake negotiations as described in the Koran. The US and the West in general have fallen for this for decades, or have willfully participated in the fraud.
Maybe Trump has turned the tables, and is stringing the Iranian government along with false hope.

Which, IMO, has been our mistake all along. The cultures of the area all respect and respond to strength, but do not understand the concept that strength not used, does not show weakness.
As most here know, I believe US troops are way too deployed in way too many bullshit military actions...
But this one, goes to the root of most of the Mid Easts problems. This is one we SHOULD fight, and not stop until the Government of Iran changes.

The Iranian mullahs and Revolutionary Guard have been needing a a$$-whipping courtesy of Uncle Sam for decades. They have been permitted to kill and wound thousands of Americans with impunity ... until now.
One of Pres. Reagan's few mis-steps was not bombing the Iranians after the attack on the Marine barracks in Beirut.

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

I have no love for Iran. Frankly, I have no love for Israel either, but that's because they're strangers to me, on the other side of the planet. No better or worse than most of the rest of humanity. I don't root for their deaths, any more than I root for anyone else's.

Yes, because there are other explanations than "Trump sold us out"
He may have caved to the Neocons in the GOPe who were holding back the OBBB until he did something on Iran
He may have caved to Israel, after telling them he had to have 60 days to make peace deal which the Mullahs nixed.
He may have gotten information that Iran was enriching Uranium to sell to . . . I dunno, something like the Israelis and the South Africans brewing up their own bombs in the 90's, mayby Iran and the PDRKorea had worked up a plan to sell nukes on ebay

I'm one of them, I'm afraid. Bombing the shit out of Iran is the easy part. What comes after, civil war probably, worries me too much.

So what this sounds like to me is Trump laying down the law.
The Iranians have been given 24 hours to GTFO. The Israelis have been given their orders - to let them leave.
The "OR ELSE" is implied.

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

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

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

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

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

I remain surprised to read, in another conservative blog, a woman (I guess) who keeps posting that Iran was not near a nuke, and only needed power.
I dunno. I guess a dunce is born every generation.
For 46yrs Iran has screamed "Death to America" and been unstable when not taking hostages, torturing and killing Americans. I am no genius but I saw the wisdom in what President Trump did and am thankful.

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

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

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

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

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

Japs still wanted to kill us in '49? '53? ''67? '89 when Hirohito died? The premise was we let Hirohito live until he died.

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

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

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

Posted by: rickb223 at June 23, 2025 06:46 PM (5WDkb)
I don't doubt a lot of them did. We didn't care and put them to work rebuilding their country.
But the parallel is the same. Hirohito was the spiritual and legal head of Japan, and we left him in place because it benefited us. The Ayatollah, if he's alive or the current government could do the same thing.
Actually, I think we did the same thing to Italy's king.
Go have a lie down, you are going to stroke out here.

And the Jews don't do much work in Israel ... they work these work-gangs of Gazans. And do this gutteral way they speak that basically turns into "more and faster".
They tell you ... when the horn sounds off inside a cab ? Why the fuck did you get into a cab ? Now bail ... you're going into Gaza. The Roach Motel. If you're white ? You're fucked.

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

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

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

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

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

While the left focuses on Garcia, human trafficker, Trump keeps deporting at least 2000 people per day.
And that's not counting self-deportations.

I think he'll get a poll boost because more Americans will wake up and see that no matter what Trump does, the Democrat-Media Party will find some disgracefully partisan way to attack him.
I think their obsessive-compulsive viciousness will become apparent to more people, and more people will actually see Trump as sympathetic, besieged constantly by nasty, stupid, incompetent lunatics.
I see it as an exact parallel to the very rapid shift in the zeitgeist discussed in the BBC thread. Once enough people point out the lunacy, there is a very strong preference cascade to a more sane position. The Dems haven't figure this out yet, and if they don't, they're looking at annihilation.

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

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

The pisser over all of this is that Trump called a hit without kissing the House and Senates ass.
The pisser over all of this is that - if the House and Senate were consistent - Trump has indeed stepped over the line.
The line that got stepped over for ten fucking years in Vietnam. Five years in Korea.

Since its passage in 2001, U.S. presidents have interpreted their authority under the AUMF to extend beyond al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan to apply to numerous other groups as well as other geographic locales, d

Game theory based on Cordocet's work. Basically when you have more than a binary choice, the least preferred candidate can win quite often.

She is just a chip off that particular block. She is so timid that she avoids meeting anyone that isn't prescreened, and she doesn't represent anybody up here except the rabid abortion supporters (who apparently own her, lock stock and barrel) and some few of the Natives who are on welfare.

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

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

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

While the left focuses on Garcia, human trafficker, Trump keeps deporting at least 2000 people per day.
And that's not counting self-deportations.

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

Looking at the last German election, you see the absolute folly of multi-party, proportional representation schemes. The last govt was the most ineffectual and hated yet. So they vote. Result, and even more ineffectual and useless govt.
Had first past the post (which has Arrow problems big time) been used, the Bundestag would've been well over 90% CDU/CSU and AfD. The leftoid and green parties would've been nothing.

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

It is an info op. Dem gaslighting. In their alternate universe, Trump always loses, but the media hides it. (Yes, apparently CNN and MSNBC do not exist in this universe.)
Thus Trumps wins are actually losses, and he never wins anywhere because each "win" is a concession or something.

So never mind about the Hitler stuff, because he's a harmless paper tiger.

It was during the tariff back and forth where Trump was getting concessions (because bargaining) and making compromises. So, since he did not do the full tariff, he chickened out, per these retards.

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

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

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

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

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

A human being that at no time in their life EVER had to think or worry about contracting testicular cancer or prostate cancer.
There's a woman on YT that does shorts about "embracing gender differences". Mostly, it's shots of women saying "anything men can do, wwe can do better", followed by either men doing things women manifestly can't do, or women trying to do them and completely screwing things up. The bits are pretty funny.

WNBA announcer Rebecca Lobo said something like "I disagree with them, and that's fine. That's what makes America great" about a disputed foul call or something. What followed was a long pause and then "I should re-phrase that, sorry about that".

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

I wouldn't be surprised if Israel had no further goal regarding this conflict with Iran than pain.
They get a lot more weapons from us (through their purchasing contracts) since 10/7. They seem to have boxed in Hamas. They only really need aircraft and missiles to do the damage they're doing.

Once you've made the decision that an enemy regime has to go, removing it's ability to hurt you is the sensible first step. But having done that, there's no good reason to stop before finishing, and an awful lot of reason not to let them ever recover.

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

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

Remember the Iranian uprising a while back, and how Barky sided with the mullahs?
Only the Iranian people can do that. Now, if they do start something, I hope Trump will help and not hinder. That doesn't mean boots on the ground shit, it means not hindering it like Barky did.

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

BREAKING
President Trump says he hopes the Islamic Republic of Iran has “gotten it all out of their system,” and will not attack US bases and personnel in response to the bombing of nuclear sites.
He also thanks the Islamic Republic for giving advance noticed (something reporters say was done with Qatar).

I have read several sources that claim Israel asked the opposition in Iran to hold off until the Israelis are done with their bombing campaign against the Regime/IRGC.
I expect that once the Israelis finish up with the IRGC and Targeted Hits on the Regime Leaders, the Israelis will go after the known Islamic Police HQs and then give the nod to the Iranian Opposition that it is safe to take to the streets.

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

The FNM, Dems, and Shrub also noted that MEK does bad things and therefore they couldn't support people that do bad things even if it would distract Iran from murdering Americans.

A celeb bog site was convinced they are both gay and have a contracted dual beard relationship, but it's set to expire at any moment. Or they just keep renewing it since the beard life is going well for them.

What if the mullahs told Qatar to duck and cover thinking they *wouldn't* tell the Americans?
What if they sincerely said to Qatar "Yeah, we're launching a bunch of crap at the base in Doha, and we really can't aim these things worth shit, so, you know, heads up. Sorry in advance."
Would they really be dumb enough to think the Qataris wouldn't immediately tell America to swat everything down for them just in case? Was it really stupidity and desperation, and not some lame ass ploy at "saving face"?
Is this something that will make the emirs in Qatar think twice about which side their flatbread is buttered on?

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

"The application for stay presented to Justice Jackson and by her referred to the Court is granted. The April 18, 2025, preliminary injunction of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, case No. 25–cv–10676, is stayed pending the disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, if such writ is timely sought. Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of the Court.

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

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

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

The Chinese talk about a dynasty losing the Mandate of Heaven. This is usually indicated by various signs, such as floods, earthquakes, and other natural disasters.
The mullahs are going to have a hard time explaining away the fact that all of their military facilities are suddenly vaporizing as anything other than a sign of Allah's displeasure.

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

Iran has too much on its plate already.
I also think that Khamenei hasn't kicked the oxygen habit yet because Israel wants him alive-- weak; in his 80s. Less risky for Israel than some younger successor might be.
But I could easily imagine the IRCG having a frank, private talk with Khamenei. Like the one the DEMs had with Biden after the debate.

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

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

I mostly agree, but the ads in '28 (and '26) will be a 30 second comparison of the Dems lying, retreating, and crying in the Senate, and then 30 seconds of Trump, the rate of inflation, and the destruction of Iran's nuke program.

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

I don't recall if we were going to have the option to refuse if it was a real shithole (for example, we wouldn't want Haiti, despite having had to intervene there several times).
I lost track of that guy over the years. I should look him up.

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

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

Also, I heard the IAEA stated there was no observable radiation after Fordow was hit. If we had truly blown up their leading nuke site, wouldn't some radiation be escaping?

well if you don't trust ours, and Europe's spies, there's Israel and anyone else who doesn't want Iran to have nukes.
I'd guess the idea of the strikes was to collapse the roofs onto everything inside. In that case minimal radiation would be detectable from a distance.

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

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

Eran is the Fars name for Iran. I think "Iran" is really the Arab name for it that the English adopted because "Eran" sounds too much like "Eireann" which is already taken by Ireland.

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

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

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

The Ayatollah was last seen sitting atop a Tanker Trunk, on a throne, driving through the Desert with the last of the Iranian Gasoline.
At least, American Intel believes it was him... but cannot verify as he was wearing a really good disguise... a Collander Mask.

"Three Iranian officials said that Iran had given advance notice that attacks were coming, as a way to minimize casualties. The officials said Iran needed to be seen striking back at the United States, but in a way that allowed all sides an exit ramp."

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

Which last time? The barrage against Israel? That was against Israel, and it was their call to retaliate or not. This was a strike against a US asset, after being strongly warned that any attack against a US asset would change the mission from "destroy the nuclear program" to "destroy the entire damn regime".

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

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

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

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

The rabbi says, "You know, we all spend our lives listening to the troubles of other people and trying to help them out, but what about us? Why don't we take a cue from our friend the priest and confess to each other? I'll start. I'm a sex addict. I've had sex with at least 20 women in my congregation. Young, old, pretty, ugly, doesn't matter."
The priest says "I'm an alcoholic. Many's the time I've said Mass blackout drunk and not even been able to remember it afterward."
The Baptists says "I'm a compulsive gossip and I can't WAIT to get back to shore."

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

Absurd also, to refer to actually ending a war that's been going on for 45 years as starting an "endless war". It's ending a de facto endless war. In fact, it would finally end most if not all all of the violence in the Middle East.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That actually happened to Scott Adams. When he announced his terminal cancer diagnosis, Trump called and left a message because Scott let it go to VM. Trump ended up calling him again, and getting through because Adams figured out that it was a real call from POTUS.

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

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

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

I don't think Iran can.
Their investment has been in Hezbollah rockets, Hamas tunnels, and terrorizing their own citizens not building a military that can march or anything.
With Israel taking out IRGC leadership over the last day, Hezbollah having no more rockets, and Hamas not really needing tunnels anymore, their investment strategy is dashed

People have to ignore a lot of history to come down on the other side on this one. They have to ignore a very long list of atrocities the Iranians have been responsible for over the past four decades, and then ignore their threats and games over the nuke issue for the past two decades.
It's the same kind of ignorance that the Hamas supporters have to feign to think and say the things they do.

He's wrong, on the whole, the bill does a lot of good, does it have everything we want? No. But that's what we are going to get for now.
I like Massie generally and the bills he has proposed are good bills, the main problem is the GOP is a useless pile of dog shit and this is pretty much as good as it gets it seems.

To the world - Trump is not chicken, USA is not done, and nothing is safe if we need to remove it.

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

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

No war in Iran.
Posted by: ghost of kari
What specifically was Massie's plan for dealing with Iran. The same as the last 40+ years? Keep kicking the can down the road putting out fires and tolerate the killing?

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

If it's all true, and if the story of high level Iranian officials desperately wanting the Ayatollah's sign off on direct talks with the US (which they can't get because they can't get in contact with him), then it paints a picture of a very weak Iran who just wants the pain to stop.
I do think that Israel won't feel any need to let up on the nation that directly funded Hezbollah, Hamas, and 10/7.

Russia was talking a deal with Iran to provide Civilian nuke plants safely (since somehow a oil rich nation has power issues) and run them for them.
I think he was referring to that when saying Russia wanted to fulfill those nuclear contracts and presumably don't bomb the Russian there.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I've been saying this here for months. Apparently, some just refuse to accept that there are limitations to what can be done in reconciliation.
There is a second process that is happening simultaneously and it will go on for the rest of the fiscal year and it includes rescission and letting short term spending bills expire without being renewed along with other means.

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

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

4. Israel is under attack, explosions are rocking the country, and people are panicking.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I think it was to destroy him personally as an example to others who fought their deportation orders and an example of malicious compliance to stick a finger in the judiciary's eye.
They should have left him in El Salvador, but if they can make an example of him by convicting him for a prison sentence of like 20 years, which they get a foreign country to manage by deporting him to some place like Sudan, then it'll be a good second choice.

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

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

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

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

He was brought back into the country by ICE.
ICE transferred him to the USMS so he could make an appearance in Court on the indictment.
ICE has always had an immigration hold on him.
A judge in the criminal case has found that he is not subject to detention under the Bail Reform Act re his criminal charge.
That does nothing to the ICE hold -- the Magistrate has no jurisdiction over Immigration Court matters.
If he is ordered released, it means released from the custody of the USMS.
He will go right back into the custody of ICE.

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

Call me a cynic, but I'm guessing someone in the Trump administration made the call for the following reason. Immigration will be an issue in the elections next year. Democrats are going to to paint all illegals as downtrodden grandmothers and children. Trump may want to keep this piece of garbage in the news with court dates until next summer to show who is really benefitting from our non enforcement.

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

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

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

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

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

What have you done to stop the slow-motion genocide of the Uyghurs happening in China right now? What have you done about the slavery in Qatar, where over 1000 perished building the spiffy new World Cup stadium? And more close to home, where is your concern for the children who've been trafficked over our open Southern border for years, with apparently 300k unaccounted for/missing?

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

So, he keeps extending the deadline in the hope someone American will pony up the right amount of cash to buy it.

I'm not sure the "TikTok is spyware!" meme isn't just other social media platforms trying to undermine a competitor. That, plus a new market for anti-spyware apps. Of course TT "spies" on you. So does every SM platform ever made. It's part of their business model. They don't even hide it.

And then bullshit jobs like content manager. Of which there are hundreds at every university.
Then people wonder why college costs what it does. Hmmm I wonder why? Must be evil capitalism or something.
I hear leftists talk about how it’s “free” in Europe. And it is. But there’s no $100M gym at any euro university. Dorms are spartan rooms. There’s no fluff. I’d love to have that here.

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

No, she told me to stop posting things on my business’s instagram because my rogue posts don’t match our new aesthetic that she has built. I do have to be honest, what she has done with my social media is outstanding, and my posts do legit look like I phoned it in, in comparison. And I had a pretty decent following, but it has grown over the last month since she took over. I told her I won’t post any more. I mean, I only own the place. lol.

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

Fair point, Burt.
Like you, I already assume that our own intelligence agencies have all kinds of data collected on each of us.
My only concern would be -- despite the ChiComms,, GloboHomo, and other anti-American fellow travelers pushing actual disinformation and propaganda via numerous other means (including of course our own MDM-MSM), the open sanctioning & promotion of a platform that happily admits it and corrupts the thinking of young people (similar to push-polling).

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

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

Around here, people with leftwing ideas run for office as independents, or more often, as liars who claim to be conservative as long as it takes to get elected, then get in there and start chewing the support beams. So our Republican "super-majority" in the legislature is somewhat illusory.

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

I think it's more likely that Massie is a far-left progressive who uses small government rhetoric to justify his votes.
He votes for raising the debt ceiling under Biden because he will throw himself before the train of big government spending under Trump?

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

Personally I think this is much more like taking out Solemaini in the first term. Took out a bad guy and did not lead to escalation. If I thought this was headed to all out war for us id probably oppose but I just don’t see that happening. I don’t think I’m playing semantical games to say dropping some bombs is not going to war

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

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

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

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

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

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