The whole book is something of a take off on the Byronic romantic story from the point of view of someone who survived the Byronic romantic story, so it is quite odd, and quite compelling.

Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh ============= One of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Posted by: Blonde Morticia at May 08, 2025 08:00 PM (U7Gpi) Quick Hits It's official: The FBI is investigating Letitia James for repeatedly falsifying her financial and real estate records on her mortgage applications. I hope they hit her with 35 counts of fraud, one for every single signature. The FBI has opened a formal criminal probe into New York Attorney General Letitia James for alleged mortgage fraud after a request to investigate James was sent to the Department of Justice last month by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte. According to a report from the New York Post citing a source familiar with the matter, the investigation into James is being led by US Attorney John Sarcone III, who has been an ally of President Donald Trump. James allegedly "falsified records" that enabled her to get more favorable loans on a home in Virginia that she purchased in 2023, according to the letter to the DOJ from Pulte. The referral from Pulte stated, "Based on media reports, Ms. Letitia James has, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms. This has potentially included 1) falsifying residence status for a Norfolk, Virginia-based home in order to secure a lower mortgage rate and 2) misrepresenting property descriptions to meet stringent requirements for government backed loans and government assistance." It is delicious that these crimes are almost exactly the same ones she falsely accused Trump of. Hamas' "University" Columbia actually bothered to arrest the radical terrorists shutting down the school and preventing real students from using it. Columbia did a better job handling the pro-Hamas activists on campus yesterday than it has previously. In the evening nearly 80 students who had refused to identify themselves were arrested. ... Hopefully, at some point during booking, the headscarves were removed and mugshots were taken of all of them. But arrests of leftwing criminals mean nothing in Alvin Bragg's Manhattan. The last time police arrested violent Hamas terrorist kidnappers -- they kidnapped janitors in a Columbia building -- Alvin Bragg dropped charges for 31 of 46 offenders, claiming it would be too difficult to prosecute them. But there is a Back-Up Plan, if the local Soros prosecutor protects terrorists: Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio We are reviewing the visa status of the trespassers and vandals who took over Columbia University's library. Pro-Hamas thugs are no longer welcome in our great nation. Trump strikes a trade deal with the UK, opening it -- supposedly -- to imports of US beef. We'll see if they really do open their markets or if this is another stab-in-the-back from our European "allies." Really our ungrateful bratty dependent Goth teenagers. The announcement allows the sale of U.S. beef into the U.K. for the first time in decades and ensures an increase in the purchase of Boeing commercial jetliners. Flanked by Vice President J.D. Vance and on a conference call with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, President Donald Trump announced an agreement "worth billions of dollars" with the U.K. that reconfigures tariff prices on goods, expands the market for American farmers and ranchers, and added a phalanx of Boeing jetliners to that nation's commercial fleet. The Trump White House called it "a breakthrough" and "a good deal." The "unprecedented" deal not only includes U.S. tariffs but also a reduction in tariffs by the U.K. The deal introduces a reset of the baseline framework for trade, which will create a $5 billion in exports opportunities for American farmers, ranchers, and other producers can sell into the U.K. That includes beef. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said that the beef deal with "exponentially" increase the amount of beef that ranchers sell. Guess who's funding the "grassroots uprising"? Dozens of lefty groups behind the country's supposedly "grassroots" May Day protests have been largely bankrolled by two billionaires and a dark-money network of progressive nonprofits. More than $500 million from Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss' organizations, hedge-fund tycoon George Soros' Open Society Foundations and the dark-money Arabella network flowed to the progressive groups between fiscal years 2016 and 2023, according to an analysis shared with The Post. The funding wasn't intended for the May Day protests per se, but it has been propping up many of the self-styled "grassroots" progressive activist groups over time. "The hypocrisy of the May Day protests is glaring," said Caitlin Sutherland, executive director of Americans for Public Trust, to The Post. "These organizations project the illusion of being driven by everyday Americans, but in reality, they're being bankrolled by some of the biggest dark-money megadonors in politics." Starting Thursday, on May Day, organizers put together more than 1,000 protests across the country to demonstrate against President Trump, activity that spilled into the weekend. ... The "50501" movement -- or "50 protests, 50 states, 1" effort, an anti-Trump organization that formed in January -- is widely credited for trying to move that international energy into the US by orchestrating the widespread stateside protests last week. ... About three dozen of the participating groups have raked in about $293.6 million from Wyss' groups, $47 million from the Arabella network and $194.2 million from Soros' Open Society Foundations, according to an assessment reviewed and checked by The Post. Some of the most prominent left-wing activist groups in the anti-Trump demonstrations last week were the Sunrise Movement, Indivisible and Planned Parenthood. ... Because of his Swiss citizenship, Wyss, 89, is precluded from donating to US political candidates. But he has emerged as a top backer of lefty causes in America nonetheless, by pumping cash into dark-money groups. DRUMPF!!! is pushing that dangerous racist school choice policy. The policy that is good for students and parents, but which is objected to by the teachers unions because it would force them to allow their worst-performing teachers to be fired. Corey A. DeAngelis, school choice evangelist @DeAngelisCorey BREAKING: The Department of Education just released guidance on school choice options for kids stuck in "persistently dangerous" public schools. States must establish a list of "persistently dangerous" schools. Districts MUST provide a school choice option for these kids The Elementary and Secondary Education Act requires states to provide school choice options for kids: * In "persistently dangerous" schools * Victims of violent criminal offenses at school This is the absolute stupidity that Trump's cabinet has to deal with.

Pro-Hamas thugs are no longer welcome in our great nation. --- Federal judges have been illegally re-writing and expanding immigration law to require that student visas cannot be revoked unless they have been arrested or convicted of a crime. The statute merely requires that Rubio, as Secretary of State, state he finds they engaged in conduct that is detrimental to foreign relations. It doesn't require him to state what they did, nor how it was or why it was. Yet, the judge-kings are issuing illegal orders, in clear violation of the law, that the Secretary of State must not only state what they did, but also why and how it was detrimental and--additionally!--that the conduct was not protected by the 1st Amendment.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at May 08, 2025 06:51 PM (42Vb+) 168 I think being Pope is a tough job. And Bergoglio entered it with a certain contempt for the established traditions - "I'm too humble to wear the traditional vestments, I'm too humble to sleep in the traditional residence, I am gonna tear down this accumulation of tradition and remake it all in the way of St Francis" So, kinda leftist approach from the get go. Confrontational, no opposition allowed, I think Pope Francis had good intentions but was not wise. Still his papacy unveiled a lot of what is rotten in the hierarchy. I hope Prevost shows true humility by being respectful of tradition , and fosters unity.

And Trump did not defraud anyone, even though some judge claimed Mara Lago was worth ? like a tenth of its real value. Trump did not falsify records. But Letitia must be pure on this, because she accused Trump (of what she was doing). Not sure how "these people" think they can get away with the worst frauds ... but they have been getting away with it for a long time. Wheels of justice grind slowly ... I hope they grind finely. Posted by: illiniwek at May 08, 2025 06:53 PM (Cus5s) 170 It occurred to me during my evening ride -- the Chicago Pope (assume he was CIA based on his work in Peru) might be in place to operate as a foil against JD Vance or Marco Rubio's run in 2028. He will find some aspect of policy to use against Vance/Rubio to thereby excommunicate them which will be reported on endlessly.

The statute merely requires that Rubio, as Secretary of State, state he finds they engaged in conduct that is detrimental to foreign relations.

Posted by: Bombadil at May 08, 2025 07:56 PM (MX0bI) After Democrat Senators Tillis, Cassidy, Collins, Murkowski, McConnell, and Linsdsey Graham Balk, Trump Withdraws Ed Martin from Consideration for US Attorney from DC Isn't it great having a "Big Tent Party" where all the political positions are filled by Democrats who despise the base and whose greatest mission is to thwart us, contain us, and control us?

He wasn�t getting the support from the people that I thought�.I�m very disappointed in that... ...We have somebody else that will be good... ....I just want to say it is� pic.twitter.com/lLc4UjqdQY — Townhall.com (@townhallcom) May 8, 2025 This may be one of Tillis's last betrayals -- and perhaps he knows he's going to be primaried, so he's going YOLO. Lara Trump is from North Carolina and would defeat Tillis: Walter Curt @WCdispatch_ NEW: Poll shows Lara Trump CRUSHING Sen. Thom Tillis 65-11 in a hypothetical 2026 GOP primary, don't be shocked if "Senator Trump" is trending in North Carolina very soon. A Victory Insights survey of 800 likely GOP primary voters put Lara Trump miles ahead of incumbent Sen. Thom Tillis--65 percent to 11 percent, with a quarter still shopping around. Her December 2024 decision to step down as RNC co-chair "to explore her next chapter" only fanned speculation that the next chapter is a Senate run back home. With near-universal name ID and the Trump family's fundraising machine ready-made, she would begin the race as the prohibitive favorite. Tillis, by contrast, is limping into 2026. State party activists formally censured him in June 2023 for votes on gun safety and same-sex-marriage protections, cementing a narrative that he's "not MAGA enough." The Assembly notes that Trump-aligned operatives are openly hunting for a primary challenger, and every high-profile dust-up--most recently Tillis' very public break with the White House over a controversial D.C. prosecutor nominee--reminds grassroots conservatives why they're restless. In short, the senator enters the cycle with a base problem money alone can't fix. Put the two story lines together and you can see why North Carolina Republicans are bracing for a dynasty shake-up. If Lara Trump jumps in, she would fuse the Trump brand's emotional pull with deep pockets and instant media oxygen--advantages few incumbents anywhere could withstand. The question isn't whether she starts as the front-runner; it's whether any other Republican, including Thom Tillis, can keep this race from turning into a coronation and sending a second Trump to Capitol Hill. Will Lara Trump take on Tillis? Run, Lara, Run! Posted by: Ace at 05:04 PM Comments (Jump to bottom of comments) 1 first.

Or he's just aiming for the 'Republican' chair at MSNBC or CNN... The problem with going for a RINO's throat with too much time on their clock is you lost your ammo to threaten them with.

The potential selection comes as Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Thursday that Ed Martin, who is currently serving as D.C.’s interim top prosecutor, would not be taking the position permanently after losing support among top Republicans in the Senate. An announcement about a new interim U.S. attorney could come as soon as Thursday, sources said. Sources caution that plans could always change and a decision is never final until publicly announced by the president."

I just ignored the stuff that was bad policy, like immigration, climate change and the welfare state. Francis’ worst mistake, in my eyes, was his antagonism towards the TLM and traditionalism.

They tried to revive the case in Harris County (Houston) once the county flipped to dems. That was in 2017. Hurricane Harvey destroyed the county courts. That bought them more time.

Posted by: buddhaha at May 08, 2025 06:52 PM (+dUmU) Asked About His Steep Cognitive Decline on Propaganda Yenta Show The View, Biden Babbles Incoherently and Needs His Wifenurse to Step In "Joe worked hard every single day," non-doctor Jill Biden said. After the debate, you'll remember, she praised Biden as if he were a retarded child saying "You answered all the questions." Video below. I know you'll have trouble believing this, but The View offered easy questions, lobbing them underhand like fluffy marshmallows. After proving themselves to be his greatest sycophants with their gushfest of an interview last September, former President Biden reciprocated by giving the liberal ladies of ABC's The View his first post-presidency interview. Of course, as Democratic propagandists, they swaddled him in love and softball questions, largely teeing up questions about controversies in easy-to-knock-down ways, and helping him rehabilitate his image. Moderator Whoopi Goldberg opened up questions with a fast ball about how he was doing, which Biden used to hawk the book he was supposedly writing himself. Pretend independent Sara Haines followed up by ignoring the fact that Biden didn't drop out willingly but was forced out by Democratic Party insiders and donors, and commended him on his "selfless and very difficult decision" to drop out. When asked why Vice President Kamala Harris lost despite Democratic optimism, Biden seeming suggested that America was sexist: HAINES: Democrats were feeling optimistic about the vice president's chances of winning the presidency, but then election night came, and it was like 2016 all over again. So, why do you think the vice president lost and were you surprised? BIDEN: I wasn't surprised, not because I didn't think the vice president was the most qualified person to be president. She is. She's qualified to be president of the United States of America but I was surprised -- I was surprised because they went the route of the sexist route the whole route. As Biden's biggest fan on the set, Joy Behar had the gooiest things to say about him. Completely ignoring how both President Obama and Biden blamed their Republican predecessors for their own failings until they left office, Behar whined that Trump was blaming Biden after the first 100 days. "As of late April, he had mentioned you and your family and your administration at least 580 times. That's -- we're talking shrink land now," Behar declared, suggesting there was something wrong with Trump's brain (something she refused to entertain with Biden). Of course, it was an easy softball for Biden: BEHAR: Why is he so fixated on you and blaming you for everything? BIDEN: I beat him. In a follow up question sometime later, Behar admitted that Biden's handlers had requested she ask him a specific question about his use of an autopen to sign his family's pardons and admitted that she promised to do it: BEHAR: I promised I would ask this question, because -- [Whoopi Goldberg gestures to the producers] They want me to ask it. Not only is he obsessed with you and blaming you for everything, he's also obsessed with the fact that you used an autopen to sign the pardons, you issued right before you left office for members of your immediate family. Now, he's calling for investigations and claiming the pardons are void and vacant! BIDEN: Oh, he's vacant. Previously, The View cast cheered Biden's pardon for his son Hunter. They praised how Biden gave his son a "great gift, the gift of freedom." As one of the fake conservatives on set, Alyssa Farah Griffin's question regarding the books detailing Biden's cognitive decline never drilled down on any of the specific examples. She simply asked: "What is your response to these allegations and are these sources wrong?" "They are wrong. There's nothing to sustain that," Biden answered. ... At the very end of the show, Goldberg wanted viewers to know "you're not in this alone, we're all in it together" against Trump. "We got them!" Behar proclaimed as she jumped up to hug Biden. More at the link. Byron York: There is an inside story of Biden's decline and an outside story of Biden's decline. The inside story is the effort by the White House staff, plus its Democratic allies, plus its supporters in the press, to conceal Biden's problem. The outside story is the many public appearances -- moments of Biden appearing confused, lost or frozen -- during which millions of Americans could see for themselves that the president had a serious problem. Another way to put it would be to say that the inside story was the effort to deny that the outside story existed. That was the strangest thing about the whole situation. Biden's decline happened in public. People knew about it. Opinion polls revealed that large numbers of Americans believed Biden was not up to the job of president, or at least not up to a second term in the White House. If it was a secret, it was the world's best-known secret. And yet those in the White House denied that there was a problem, and their allies outside the White House echoed those denials. And they went beyond simple denial. They also attacked those who said Biden had a problem. Remember "cheapfakes"? That was what Biden's defenders in the Democratic Party and the media called the clear video evidence of Biden's problem. When Biden drifted away from a group of leaders at the Normandy anniversary in France; when he appeared lost and had to be guided by former President Barack Obama at a Hollywood fundraiser; and when he froze at a Juneteenth event at the White House, the administration accused Republicans of manipulating videos of each moment. And many in the press went along with it, as if the GOP were the problem and not the White House effort to fool the public. One example. On June 17, 2024, a reporter asked then-White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre, "There seems to be a sort of rash of videos that have been edited to make the president appear especially frail or mentally confused. I'm wondering if the White House is especially worried about the fact that this appears to be a pattern that we're seeing more often?" "Yeah," said Jean-Pierre. "And I think you all have called this the 'cheapfakes' video. And that's exactly what they are. They are cheapfakes video. They are done in bad faith. And some of your news organizations have been very clear, have stressed that the right-wing critics of the president have a credibility problem because the fact-checkers have repeatedly caught them pushing misinformation, disinformation." In just a few words, Jean-Pierre managed to give a pat on the head to those news organizations that displayed little curiosity about Biden's condition but real energy in denouncing those who did. And then, just 10 days after that exchange, Biden met Trump for the debate in Atlanta. It was no longer possible to hide the extent of Biden's senility. The inside story failed to suppress the outside story, and Biden was doomed as a candidate. Truly amazing stuff here: Joe Biden is asked about the books that have been written about his cognitive decline.

I've been told innumerable times here that there's no point in having grandstanding pols like Jordan, Cruz, and Hawley reaming Dems in public.

They adopted, "Poor Old Joe just declined" since summer of last year. There's no more embarrassment to be had, especially not for the party or for the press. The press, in particular, has already embraced, "Stupid and easily misled," and nothing's going to make that worse. No, the only way the Hur recording has an impact is if it's revealed that the IG tweaked the transcript to make Biden sound better than he actually is. And it'll be a small pebble in the ocean of news, quickly forgotten except by those who were watching the pebble go down into the water.

They've had this series done for like 3 years and have been sitting on it because the character is about as popular as the clap. Here's her origin story: she was a clever girl in school who told her teacher that she wanted to be a scientist. The teacher told her "you can be whatever you want to be honey!" And that ... made her angry. She scorned the teacher for... not oppressing her or something. So she stole materials from MIT and built an Iron Man suit, because she's smarter than Tony Stark and better and purer. And her comic books bombed. Nobody likes this character. She literally replaced Iron Man in his own comic, with Tony Stark as her AI because he was dead. And it sold worse than liver flavored popsicles.

Flowery words do not make swallowing horseshit any better. And a stumbling, bumbling delivery can be absolutely devastating. Hansard's record of debate regarding the failure of the Norway campaign in 1940 indicate this. Roger Keyes, an old tired WWI hero, got up and spoke against Chamberlain and his government and despite his halting and idiosyncratic delivery, killed it in his speech.

There are plenty of MSM consumers even now who are really sorry he's not prez and who think he is and was just fine. The Hur audio could move the needle from "Joe was fine" to "So what if Joe wasn't fine? Trump is worse." MSM journalists will have to cover it and make idiots of themselves by offering more excuses -- for themselves, for him, and for the army of aides who covered up -- and who knows, it might provoke further investigation into who was running the country while Biden was wandering around in a haze. I look forward to Jill's reaction. It was "deceptively edited" with many clips "taken out of context." I want to watch these people squirm and embarrass themselves some more.

Cicero once dropped his tunic out and finished in a debate in just a toga to humilate an opponent. The dude affected that style to look traditional. That was my point. I find it difficult to listen to someone saying absolute lying gibberish, and conclude he won the debate. However, more often than not, that's what happens. Miller is a beast at traditional debate, but he's not suited to being an actual politician. He's not warm and fuzzy enough. I prefer the guy who comes away from the debate with his opponent's veins in his teeth. Posted by: Archimedes at May 08, 2025 04:30 PM (s8j++) 190 Hiding the decline is a thing with leftists.

Biden spent nearly the entire campaign in his basement and when he did venture out for the infrequent "rally" they were attended by at most a couple hundred people standing in circles 10 feet apart from each other. There was less enthusiasm for his campaign that Harris' and she had none. We'll probably never know the real number but I doubt Biden got much more than 60 million real votes.

My guess is Cruz is probably 150-160 iq (aka genius level) given what his law profs said about him.

Posted by: Seems Legit ============== Possibilities: 1 - Mark Halperin speaks truth when he says the Bidens are out of money and need to find new sources of income. 2 - Jill needs appearances like this to boost her book sales (related to the above) 3 - Sheer narcissism. Desire for love, revenge, and "relevance," like Hillary. You could also be mystified by the way Hillary keeps pumping out books and doing interviews and events -- but I think she simply cannot stop protesting until the day she dies that she should have won, that she would have been better, that her political nemesis is crap, that her loss is the world's loss, etc. People like this want to shine in the history books, and they're getting as much on the record in their own favor as possible.

On May 23, 2024, Mosby was "spared prison for mortgage fraud and perjury" and instead, sentenced to 12 months of home confinement, 100 hours of community service, and three years of supervised release in connection with her perjury and mortgage fraud convictions.

"No apologies," the Noted Oligarchy Fighter, and Crusader Against Carbon-Dioxide Producing Air Travel, snapped. When Sanders asked, rhetorically, "When's the last time you saw Donald Trump at National Airport," Bret Baiet replied, "He's not 'fighting the oligarchy.'" "You think I'm going to be sitting on a waiting line," Caesar Flickerman -- excuse me, Bernie Sanders -- asks, "at United, while 30,000 people are waiting?" Sanders appeared on Fox News to answer questions about his Fight The Oligarchy tour, and Bret Baier honed in on the $220K-plus that Sanders has spent on private jet travel. Advertisement Sanders appeared to flounder, even though he knew the question had to be coming. "When was the last time you saw Trump at National Airport during a campaign?" Sanders asked, prompting Baier to quip, "Trump isn't fighting the oligarchy." Trump also owns his own plane, bought with his own funds, although his campaigns pay for the operating costs, of course. Here's the absurd argument in its entirety, coming from someone who never worked an honest day in his life before going into radical-left activism and politics. For an old socialist, Sanders really gets defensive when questioned about his luxurious lifestyle.

Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at May 08, 2025 03:05 PM (YqDXo) 68 The general consensus is that Maine is a little weird and the inhabitants a bit strange. HOWEVER, I always felt that way about Vermont. It's hard to classify the general population in that State. Some of it is so hypocritically liberal that they ended up housing businesses like "Ben and Jerry's". Local municipalities in some areas around Burlington actually have a guy whose job is to travel around the area measuring the grass strands on front lawns. If the grass is a fraction too long, the municipality will fine the homeowner. I thought they were making this up until I saw it happening. I never really understood how Vermont and NH could be so different. Not so much now. But, there was a time when it was a significant dichonomy.

A bunch of NY hippies moved up there to flip the state blue in the 1960's, including the Ben & Jerry's guys and Bernie. The population of VT is 650,000. It wasn't hard to flip the state. And those hippies built the culture around UVM and Burlington. Anyways, most VTers and NHers who have been there a few generations are pretty similar people. Outdoors, woodsy types who smoke weed and don't like people telling them what to do and very much dislike the Massholes and New Yorkers who are always trying to fuck with their lifestyles.

Also note all the former CIA agents running for office. One thing I learned from the JFK papers is that you have Howard Hunt's name all over the place there including a meeting in 1972 with CIA reps discussing payment for expenses despite being 'retired'. Something similar for assets--they would pick up money here and there despite being little more than criminals like Stephen Halper. A later meeting after Nixon resigned had Hunt sitting in a meeting discussing how his book was to be marketed. Despite having the CIA review it and approve it, Howard wanted the CIA to hide that fact so he could get a bit more marketing wise--sort of an unauthorized inside story marketing ploy. I think it is fair to say that there are no 'former' CIA agents as they simply ooze into the blob that is our ngo-Dept of State-private firm contractors arena. Now they are putting themselves into office. Nasty IC critters.

Is Going Broke as the Graft Spigots Have All Been Turned Off I'm reposting this because the Vatican went OT and pope-stomped me. From David Strom. This is wonderful. As the "now it can be told" books are coming out, the Biden grifters have a serious problem. They can't follow the Clinton model of post-presidency--Clinton was still a young man, and Hillary looked to have a bright future in politics. A US Senator, Secretary of State, and a real shot at the presidency. The Bidens? They only have Slow Joe, and he is on his last legs. Beau Biden was Biden, Inc.'s only hope of a successor, and as you all know, he was famously killed in combat with a Burn Pit in Iraq. Their business is selling influence and they no longer have any influence. Even among Democrats, they're despised. The Democrats gave them graft money because they were politically useful. Now they're the opposite of that. Downside: the much-dreaded Hunter Biden Gay Porn Career is now 80% likely. A source "very familiar with the Bidens" tells @MarkHalperin that "Biden Inc.," the family business that generated millions of dollars in revenue to support their lifestyle, has dried up. "The trough is empty, the spigot is turned off," says Mark. "Biden Inc. needs a source of revenue." Joe's earning power is not sufficient, and "Hunter does not have great earning capacity." Joe and Jill Biden's appearance on "The View" today comes amid these challenges. #JoeBiden #HunterBiden A source �very familiar with the Bidens� tells @MarkHalperin that �Biden Inc.,� the family business that generated millions of dollars in revenue to support their lifestyle, has dried up. �The trough is empty, the spigot is turned off,� says Mark. �Biden Inc. needs a source of� pic.twitter.com/T1CVgO7p4Z — 2WAY (@2waytvapp) May 8, 2025 Posted by: Ace at 02:19 PM Comments (Jump to bottom of comments) 1 Wow, wonder why the funding dried up.

Their first big joint stop will be an interview on ABC's The View on Thursday morning but the former first couple have other options they are considering, including a massive deal to publish their tell-all memoirs. Biden is already hard at work on his own tome about his White House years, writing at his home office in Delaware and his post-presidential office in Washington D.C. But a joint book deal for the couple could land them $30 million, insiders told the Daily Mail. The offer, however, is contingent on Jill, who, experts say, could be worth $15 million alone. Jill Biden kept a diary during her White House years, so she has plenty of memories to draw upon - and the family could use the money.

When he divorced, he had defaulted on two mortgages on their home as well as a significant tax bill -- how is that possible while also getting gobs of cash from Burisma?

Posted by: FenelonSpoke ( give a genuine e compliment to two people today) at May 08, 2025 02:34 PM (JUIuI) 301 Biden takes responsibility for Trump's victory on The View: 'I was in charge and he won'. Offering an assessment of Trump’s return to power, Biden said his successor “has done, quite frankly, a very poor job in the interest of the United States of America.” “I think, you know, the greatest alliance in the history of the world is NATO, not a joke, and he’s blown it up,” he said. “He’s had the worst 100 days any president has ever had.” Biden insisted that he could have beaten Trump if he remained in the election, saying Trump lost by “7 million fewer votes," and said Harris lost due to sexism and racism. Joe would have lost. The cards were stacked against him. Corporate media was in the tank for Trump, and Trumpworld has assembled a propaganda network Democratic leadership still hasn’t learned to deal with. Denial is a difficult to overcome. Even for historic men like Biden. Waiting for a modicum of self reflection on how things might have been different if he hadn’t run for a second term, and there had been a normal primary season. If he was his usual sharp self at the debate, he might very well have overcome the poor polling going in.

You are also required to engage in breeding, which is specialized, or go for some sort of cloning to keep your varietals straight, and then engage in crossing to create new varietals. If you don't you are just buying stock from another grower, and then you are just competing for the same market everyone else is. Not a bad strategy, but not one that puts you at the top, and if any of your costs go up relative to the competition, then you are sunk quick. Then there is ag inspections, labor inspections, water and soil district inspections. Tulips is a hard crop to break into.

What is the Biden family spending on that they're broke within less than a year of him leaving his job? Who are they paying, and for what services? You hear about it from high-paid sports players and from lottery winners. Money gets wasted quickly, millions of dollars spent in a short amount of time, and then they plead poverty.

This is the agreed upon year that began the era of Christ, who at least existed whatever your religion is. Our Lord. Maybe not yours (yet... nudge nudge), but you know, whatever. Muhammed was born in a certain year, too, which is still a perfectly valid number and a year that happened once even if I do think there was nothing prophetic or divine about the guy. But to take that specific year and now define it as the epochal definition of a Common Era just solidifies Christianity as universal.

They all live very opulent lifestyles for people who don't work and don't have real family wealth. I think they've been running on fumes probably for years.

Also, the brain-dead lazy obsession with clinging to recent de facto inertial ways of doing things clearly guarantees failure in the current circumstances. The GOP in Congress will be horrified, of course. Allowing many to openly attack Trump and invoke idiotic illiterate appeals to "normalcy" and the like. The thing about a DC prosecutor is - do they actually have much power to do anything important using criminal law? The jury pool is overwhelmingly clueless ("educated") racist-totalitarian sub-mediocrities, just a stupid mob that would acquit outlandishly obviously guilty coup-participants while chuckling and mumbling some cretinous crap they heard that morning on NPR.

Former presidents receive a pension equal to the salary of a Cabinet secretary (Executive Level I); as of 2020, it was $219,200 per year and since January 2022, $226,300. The pension begins immediately after a president's departure from office. I don't know if that would be in addition to any pension received for his time in the Senate, or his time as VP.

However, certain types have NO expectation of continued presence in the US-aka short term visa holders (tourists for example) that overstay their visa, enemies of the US, etc. which is why due process is minimal for them. Basically a notice to get the hell out and if you fail, then a brief send off at the airport. See Ingraham v. Wright. Posted by: whig at May 08, 2025 02:55 PM (ctrM5) 429 Nood. Bernie.

Posted by: rhomboid Yes. The Alien Enemies Act jurisprudence leaves it strictly up to the President and can and has been applied outside of a War unlike what an addled district court judge just held. In application, due process is minimal as in you get to say to the arresting officer that I am not a foreign gang member from Argentina and the officer says "I do not believe you" so you leave at 7:15 PM tonight on a C5 listed as cargo. For Operation Wetback by Ike, there was no such thing as individualized deportation hearings either. Basically, deportation is not looked as an offense necessarily by the court unless the Administration seeks to formally prosecute. You are being sent back to your home country which is not considered a 'punishment' but rather your illegal presence in the US is considered something like 'unjust enrichment'. The human trafficking operations of NGOs has basically ruined refugee status by coaching all illegals to recite a mantra to try to get an individualized hearing so that they can claim refuge Posted by: whig at May 08, 2025 03:02 PM (ctrM5) 451 All the cool kids are doing Dahlias now, anyway.

Prevost; He's Addressing the Crowd They counted votes far faster than Arizona. "Habemus Papam!" White smoke began pouring from the Sistine Chapel chimney on Thursday, signaling the College of Cardinals has chosen a successor to Pope Francis. And now the world waits to learn who he is. Riotous applause and cheers erupted from the faithful crowd of thousands gathered at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City, where eyes had been glued to the simple chimney since the secretive conclave process began just over a day ago. White smoke finally appeared just after 6 p.m. local time on the cardinals' fourth vote -- following one vote Wednesday and two earlier Thursday that ended in failure and black smoke. All eyes have now turned to the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica overlooking the square, where the new pope will soon emerge to the proclamation "Habemus Papam!" -- Latin for "We have a pope!" When he arrives, the new pontiff will be dressed in traditional white papal vestments in the Room of Tears -- a small space next to the Sistine Chapel that supposedly got its name from the emotion felt by the new pope in those moments. Whoever was chosen met the two-third majority required to be named -- meaning at least 89 votes from the 133 cardinals who joined the conclave voted in their favor. Some background on Prevost: t is typically absurd to think of an American as pope. But in this conclave, a Chicago-born Augustinian friar who has spent much of his life outside of the United States is worthy of serious consideration. Cardinal Robert Prevost, 69, heads the influential Vatican Dicastery for Bishops, the office tasked with advising the pope on bishop appointments around the world. While cardinals have been gathering after the death of Pope Francis, Prevost's star appears to be rising as Cardinal Pietro Parolin's candidacy seems in trouble. Prevost could become the candidate for those seeking a curial insider who is not Parolin, after the Vatican secretary of state's lackluster homily on Sunday raised concerns about a charisma gap. Some cardinals already had their eye on Prevost because of his global experience. Though he may be American by birth, he has spent only a third of his life in the United States, instead spending much of the rest of it in Europe and Latin America. He's only been in charge for two years, taking over from Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet, who held the post for 15 years and helped leave a conservative imprint on the Catholic hierarchy. "We are often worried about teaching doctrine, but we risk forgetting that our first duty is to communicate the beauty and joy of knowing Jesus," Prevost, in one of his few interviews, told Vatican News, the news portal of the Holy See. Below, the live feed from the Vatican. 🚨BREAKING🚨 The new pope is Cardinal Robert F.

Posted by: Comrade Flounder, Disinformation Demon at May 08, 2025 01:32 PM (i24o9) Apparently Prevost shielded credibly accused pedo priests at St Johns Stone in chicago, next to a Catholic elementary school, and did not notify anyone of the accusations against the priest - others there just noted he always had a minder. He was appointed by Francis to head the office that selected pastors for positions around the world. Make of that what you will. I was praying for Cardinal Sarah.

Posted by: ace at May 08, 2025 01:43 PM (KRtlO) 299 Cut and paste from College of Cardinals Report: On key topics, Cardinal Prevost says little but some of his positions are known. He is reportedly very close to Francis’ vision regarding the environment, outreach to the poor and migrants, and meeting people where they are. He said last year “the bishop is not supposed to be a little prince sitting in his kingdom.” He supported Pope Francis’ change in pastoral practice to allow divorced and civilly remarried Catholics to receive Holy Communion. Prevost appears somewhat less favorable to currying favor with the LGBTQ lobby than Francis, but he showed mild support for Fiducia Supplicans.

His lengthy missionary service in Peru allowed him to be seen as a more universal candidate than American which mitigated problems associated with choosing a pope from a superpower in his case. However, there was speculation that he might be considered too young and too recently made a cardinal to be seriously considered papabile with any significant chance of being elected. Continued questions over his handling of sexual abuse have also cast a cloud over his prospects. Posted by: Chuck Martel at May 08, 2025 01:44 PM (Dv3i1) 309 It's a far cry from, "Women priests."

Posted by: Joe Mama at May 08, 2025 01:49 PM (FWAED) 359 How soon before Trump takes credit for an American being elected Pope Leo 14? "I started it", he will say. He'd better be careful. "Prevost also holds a Peruvian passport and has been a Peruvian citizen since 2015."' That type of thing could get him thrown into a prison in El Salvador should he try to enter the US. The new pope has more in common with Third World Americans, than he does with insular-minded Americans. I see him as someone who could directly confront Trump. He is a progressive leaning centrist in the mold of Francis. They may have picked him to have a megaphone in the USA about current events. I don't see a good relationship happening between the two at all. Let Pope Leo XIV not be silent about multiple degradations of humanity by Trump in his own country. The world is turning on the dumpster.

On October 13, 1884, while consulting with his cardinals after Mass, Pope Leo XIII paused at the foot of the altar and lapsed into what looked like a coma. After a little while the Pope recovered himself and related the terrifying vision he had of the battle between the Church and Satan. Afterwards, Pope Leo went to his office and composed this now famous prayer to St. Michael the Archangel and assigned it to be recited after Low Mass, a position it occupied until Vatican II. It was recently recommended by Pope John Paul II in a speech to a crowd of pilgrims gathered in St. Peter's Square on Sunday April 24, 1994 as a prayer for the Church.

It's too bad that the media rarely mentions the many Protestant and Jewish organizations that are just as complicit. Much the same as how they concentrate on the odious Catholic clergy pedophiles, when as a percent of their population, they are far fewer than percentage of lay teachers who are pedophiles.

The same profession of faith that calls me to believe in our Lord and Savior is repelled by the ears and by the hearts of those who manufacture scripture and theology rather than trust in it. I have no faith that the Catholic Church contains a greater quantity of Christians than any other congregation; the highest member of that church is elevated to a post nearer to God but hoisted to it by simple humans. The highest member of the tidy and humble building where I worship maintains a garden and livestock to feed his family. None of our human brethren is of a higher status than the lowest of our number; we are all sinners in the sight of God and are saved not by worship or works but by faith and faith alone.

If you thought that the Catholic Church was going off the rails into ruin under Francis, just wait until Leo gets his act going. You might witness the severance of the African and US diocese from the mother church as the communist dogma overcomes the Holy See at Rome.

It's a good day. I sure hope the Indians gave him Due Process. The Indian government announced on Thursday that its military had killed the Islamic terrorist who beheaded Jewish-American journalist Daniel Pearl. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), India's governing party, said that the Indian army killed Pakistani terrorist Abdul Rauf Azhar in "Operation Sindhoor." A group of Islamist terrorists, including Azhar, kidnapped and murdered Pearl in 2002. The terrorist was affiliated with al-Qaeda and Jaish-e-Mohammed, an Islamist terror group that aims to separate Kashmir from India and fully incorporate it into Pakistan. Pearl was working as the South Asia bureau chief of The Wall Street Journal and was originally stationed in New Delhi. He moved to Karachi, Pakistan, to investigate terror after the September 11, 2001, attacks in New York City. On January 23, 2002, Pearl was abducted by Islamist terrorists at a hotel in Karachi. His abductors, who called themselves the National Movement for the Restoration of Pakistani Sovereignty, accused him of being an Israeli spy and sent the US a list of demands if they wanted Pearl freed. The US government failed to meet the demands. In a video, Pearl stated he was Jewish and had visited Israel multiple times, moments before he was executed. ... In the BJP announcement, the party said that Azhar was involved in a number of terror activities, including the 1999 hijacking of an Indian Airlines flight, the 2016 Pathankot Air Force base attack, and a 2001 terror attack on the Indian parliament. The Jerusalem Post previously reported that the operation is targeting two main terror groups in Pakistan. Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, of which Azhar was a member.

I use "dogfight" with the scare quotes because neither side ventured into the other's airspace. No, they did not actually "dogfight." They shot long range anti-air missiles at each other from dozens, if not close to 100 miles away from each other.

Could someone point out to the various IC heads that when the Indian Army is better at something than you are, it means you really suck at it? Posted by: Kindltot at May 08, 2025 12:03 PM (D7oie) I'm sure ISI knew where he was, just like they obviously knew were bin Laden was. And ISI is a very close partner of the CIA and has been since the Cold War, when the CIA basically created the modern ISI in it's early years to spy on the USSR through the Soviet-Curious country of India. So we can ruminate on that one for a bit. Posted by: Harry Paratestes at May 08, 2025 12:07 PM (uCjyK) 21 Wait, are we supporting India in this new war? When was that decided? You know, I didn't have India v. Pakistan on my bingo card for the next war we'd be involved in. I was betting on Iran.

As far as ISI getting one over on the US? Again? Anything is possible. But we have 19 intelligence agencies with god knows how many billions of dollars in budget, and we trained / have had historically close relationships with the ISI leadership since the 1940's. It's hard for me to believe that they hid someone who the CIA would presumably want from us for so long. Same with bin Laden. He was found in an ISI safe house near the military academy.

Do you have the time to do a deep dive in to all of that history to decide who is "right" and who is "wrong"? No, no one does. And even if you did -- who cares?

Posted by: Criminal Law Solicitors London at May 08, 2025 07:56 PM (QwcBE) The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition A long time ago, we fought a war against the British Empire, in part because the people of the American colonies were increasingly offended by the idea of royalty, and the unearned privileges that emanate from that concept. We even specified in our overarching legal document that nobility was not to be tolerated! From Article 1, Section 9 of the United States Constitution: No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State. Seems pretty clear, and it meshes rather nicely with America's cultural proclivity for success based on nothing other than hard work and a good idea. So how have we devolved from that laudable attitude to this pathetic display of unearned privilege? Jasmine Crockett accused of 'abusing her power' at airport boarding gate 🚨🚨🚨 SPOTTED: Jasmine Crockett with a taxpayer-funded police escort, cutting everyone in line � even making DISABLED people wait. Nothing to see here, just the next leader of the Democrats, abusing her power! pic.twitter.com/ulcJBXY1jo — Lisa McClain (@LisaForCongress) May 4, 2025 Congress has morphed from a body of citizens representing their neighbors, to a group of entitled elitists whose seats seem more like sinecures than vital parts of a constitutional republic. Jasmine Crockett, an execrable example of the Peter Principle may not even be the worst of our congressmen! There are innumerable news stories of haughty congressmen behaving more like 18th century French or Russian noblemen than members of the body politic in a freedom-loving republic. Their perks are countless, and paid for by you and me. A fat base salary, obscene budgets for staff and travel, essentially no restrictions on insider trading that would get normies sent to prison, preferential treatment by corporations, a damned state-of-the-art gym (for free), free parking, and on and on. But that isn't enough for these entitled cnts. They want us to bend the knee, and demand special treatment to separate themselves from the mere citizens they "represent." I know that I am shoveling sht against the tide when I complain about them, but it is important to remember that they work for us, that the position is what is important, and not the person who temporarily holds that position. In a perfect world, no public building would be named for politicians. No politician would be entitled to any accommodation that a typical American citizen cannot get. In fact, they should be held to a higher standard, because they supposedly defend us from the exact sort of government that recognizes unearned privilege! I was standing around in an airport a few days ago, waiting to board a plane. The man in front of me had prosthetic arms (both of them!) and a prosthetic leg. He fumbled around for his passport for a bit (hooks and pockets don't work well together), but managed to navigate the process without help from airport police, the airline, or anyone else. If he can do it alone, then some able-bodied half-wit who fancies herself the Queen of Dallas can also be held to the same standard.

Posted by: Blink, Blink at May 08, 2025 11:08 AM (G5+As) 24 I'm becoming increasingly convinced that step 1 in heading off the looming oligarchy will be to increase the number of representatives. There should be one representative per at least 30,000 (which the Constitution specifies) but at most one per every 75,000. Otherwise power becomes too concentrated. Step 2 will be to increase the number of Senators to maintain the balance in the electoral college and to return to state legislatures selecting at least three of them. Step 3 will be to restrict Congress to one aide per member who remains in the home district. This will be the likely topic of my dissertation.

The only advantage that democracy has over monarchy is that every common citizen has a (remote) chance to be elected to public office at which point we will grab everything we can get our hands on before our terms end. One of the problems that comes out of managed democracy is that the elites can claim powers that the older monarchy wouldn't dare. And they can claim that it is right and good because "the people voted for it" irrespective of how much fraud, bribery, and lies got them to that position. And I am reminded of a quote from the revolutionary era - "Which is better - to be ruled by one tyrant three thousand miles away or by three thousand tyrants one mile away?"

In Fyodor Dostoevsky's work, particularly in "Demons" (also known as "The Possessed"), the idea that people are drawn to being ruled or controlled is explored through various characters and themes, often intertwined with the devilish nature of some characters and the struggle against freedom. Dostoevsky doesn't explicitly state that people want to be ruled, but rather, he suggests that there are forces, both internal and external, that lead individuals towards submission and a relinquishment of personal freedom Posted by: Archimedes at May 08, 2025 11:28 AM (s8j++) 110 95 92 LOL!

He ran out of money because the workers tended to lop off a finger or toe when they had been there long enough to be vested in the program, for the insurance compensation, which they then quit and lived on. There are some cultural issues that do have to be overcome, and they are both the power elite who cling to power, and the people who are accustomed to having no way to advance themselves long term and go for short term payouts.

For the vast, vast majority of the world (including most of the voters in the US), they just don't care. It comes down to "what is in my (perceived) best interest at this moment?" There is no ideological cohesiveness, they don't even care or think about that kind of stuff. It's why the powers that be like to keep us arguing about transgender stuff and other issues.

Every year in this country, there are police involved shooting where the cop was clearly in the wrong and should be (and would be) condemned by everyone. Those rarely make national news. The shootings that do make the news are the ones most likely to cause arguments. See: George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, etc. etc. They convince black people that they HAVE to support the dead black criminal out of racial solidarity, most white people look at it and say "welll.... maybe not the best way to handle the situation, but the cop doesn't seem to be criminally wrong here" and then the media tells black people "see?!? White people want cops to hunt you down and shoot you in the streets." It's all by design.

But look at what the GOP is up to in both Idaho —- That was reference to Boise making the gay flag a city official flag in order to be able to fly it. That’s not the GOP. Boise like all cities across the country is run by Democrats. Boise is as blue as Austin or San Francisco. It’s both the capital city and home to a large university. It’s also been inundated by Californians the past 20 years. The Dems did this to circumvent a law Republicans passed statewide which states no flags can be flown other than “official flags”. This was precisely passed because cities like Boise were flying gay flags and Palestinian flags and shit like that. So Dems said ok fine then this is now an official flag. There’s all sorts of shit the GOPe does, in every state. But on this one, you really can’t blame them.

This painting is what I imagine the mind of a drug addict looks like. Or someone who is schizophrenic. I remember seeing in an old Time-Life book titled something like “The Mind” IIRC, that showed paintings by an artist slowly succumbing to schizophrenia. As the artist descended into madness the images kept getting brighter and more colorful. Near the end I remember an image of something still recognizable as a kitten, but it was surrounded by jagged, almost electric, bands of bright color, using a very warm, shockingly bright palette of tones that somehow still evoked the kitten. Nothing like the dark dreariness shown here.

Posted by: Egg Shen, Bus Philosophiser at May 08, 2025 12:44 PM (DgRHE) The Morning Report — 5/ 8 /25 Good morning kids. Today marks the 80th anniversary of VE Day. That's Victory in Europe Day, as all of us old enough surely know as well as those who escaped the leftist lobotomization of American academia the last couple of decades. It marks the final defeat of Nazi Germany and the liberation of Europe. Considering the state of European society these days, with the malign influence of globalism, communism/socialism and a resurgent Islam, the continent may yet, as Churchill warned on the eve of the Battle of Britain descend into a new dark age. Meanwhile, events on the Indian subcontinent as well as in the middle East have the potential to spark a long-feared third world war that, 80 years ago our victory and subsequent ascendancy in geopolitics was hoped would avert. Were it not for the wonderful GIs, especially of the 11th armored division who liberated my mother and family, I quite likely would not be here today. So God bless you all. Moving along, it's a pretty mixed bag of news this morning, with some bright spots here and there. Well, the college of Cardinals did not elect a successor to Pope Fiction Francis. It would be a relief if the next Pope would not be a Peronist Jesuit and Islam-appeaser and once again be a real defender of the faith and with it a defender of Western values and civilization. Perhaps the cardinal from Nigeria or one of the other Africans whose flocks are being decimated by the aforementioned resurgent Islam running wild throughout Africa. The conclave to select a successor to Pope Francis began earlier in the day, with 135 cardinal-electors from around the world now sequestered inside Vatican City. The cardinals are expected to hold up to four votes per day until a new pope is chosen. The cardinals will vote again on Thursday morning at 9:30 am local time. The electors are residing at Casa Santa Marta and will continue moving between their lodgings and the Sistine Chapel for the duration of the conclave. The group is composed of 53 cardinals from Europe, 23 from Asia, 18 from Africa, 17 from South America, 16 from North America, and four each from Central America and Oceania. And despite DEI and whatever other corrosive insanity our military has had to endure especially since the ObamaBiden era, we still managed this. Five top aides of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado escaped the country after the US helped them foil a siege of the Argentine Embassy in Caracas where they had been holed up for 15 months. The group is now on US soil after a “precise operation” to free them, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday evening in a post on X, without elaborating. Machado, who has spearheaded the strongest movement to end Nicolás Maduro’s 12-year rule, praised the “impeccable and epic operation for the freedom of five heroes of Venezuela.” Maduro’s government had placed permanent check points surrounding the embassy, while his security forces took control of a private house neighboring the residence. The timing of the operation is still unclear, but it was announced when Maduro and other senior officials were in Russia to attend a parade to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany by the Soviet Union and its allies. That definition of VE day is by Bloomberg News. Umm, the Soviets were one of the allies, but the effort in the main was spearheaded by the US and Britain. And lest we forget, Hitler would not have started the war had Russia not signed the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact that carved up Poland in September of '39. Certainly, Russia had the most total casualties of the war of all combatants, but to phrase it the way Bloomberg did is yet another example of the rewriting and bastardization of history. But I digress. Elsewhere, while Pam Bondi's DOJ is going after drug smugglers and child traffickers, the Deep State is still working behind the scenes to sabotage President Trump. U.S. intelligence chiefs ordered agencies to tighten surveillance on Greenland, the first tangible step toward President Donald Trump’s oft-stated goal of bringing the Arctic island under American control, sources leaked to The Wall Street Journal. The directive instructed the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), National Security Administration (NSA) and the CIA to identify Greenlandic and Danish figures who might back U.S. objectives and to gauge public sentiment toward American resource extraction, the outlet reported Tuesday. Its emergence triggered immediate pushback from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who accused unnamed officials of leaking in order to thwart the administration. (RELATED: Trump Pentagon Cans Greenland Colonel Who Subverted JD Vance) . . “The Wall Street Journal should be ashamed of aiding deep state actors who seek to undermine the President by politicizing and leaking classified information,” Gabbard said in a statement to the Journal. “They are breaking the law and undermining our nation’s security and democracy.” Ashamed? Hell, in their warped minds they are protecting (our precious democracy!) vomit. And on the latest podcast, we discussed in disgust the duplicity and treachery of scum like Tom Tillis and the Grifting Oleaginous Parasite party GOP in opposing Ed Martin's nomination as a prosecutor. And that is just one example. But look at what the GOP is up to in both Idaho and Florida. With bastions of conservatism like those two the Democrats are finished! Pfft. And of course the beaks of the usual suspects must remain wet, despite what we want, right?! Preserve protect and defend the grift. So what if Democrats destroy the Republic so long as the RINOs can make a buck off of it. In early 2025, House Republican leaders tentatively planned to vote on a rescissions package proposed by President Donald Trump during the week of May 5, 2025. The package, expected to be sent to Congress in April 2025, aimed to cancel $9.3 billion in previously approved funding, primarily targeting foreign aid programs, the State Department, and public broadcasting entities like PBS and NPR. The rescissions process, governed by the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, allows the President to propose canceling appropriated funds, which Congress must approve within 45 days of continuous session via a simple majority vote in both chambers. This fast-tracked procedure was seen as a way to formalize spending cuts, particularly those pushed by the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, while avoiding legal challenges to unilateral executive action . . . . . White House Hesitation and Strategic Shifts: Despite initial Republican enthusiasm for a rescissions package to legitimize DOGE’s spending cuts, the White House appeared unhurried to send the proposal to Congress. Reports indicated that the administration was not fully committed to the rescissions process, possibly due to the political risks and the complexity of navigating GOP divisions. Instead, the administration focused on using the budget reconciliation process to achieve broader fiscal goals, such as increasing defense spending and extending tax cuts, which required only a simple majority and faced fewer procedural hurdles. This strategic pivot likely reduced the urgency of pursuing rescissions . . . . . . In summary, while a rescissions vote was scheduled for early May 2025, it did not happen due to a combination of political opposition, historical caution from a failed 2018 attempt, White House reluctance, legal and public backlash against DOGE’s cuts, and competing legislative priorities. Posts on X also noted significant Republican discontent with the proposed cuts, suggesting that the package “ran into a buzzsaw of opposition” from both House and Senate Republicans, further undermining its chances. While I applaud Anna Paulina Luna taking a shot at trying to repeal the Patriot Act, Snowball's Chance in Hell comes to mind. And illegal alien Muslims* are beating Jews to death in their own homes while Antifa and Tranny Psychos are assaulting normal people with feces and fists. Meh, just more defenders of "our precious democracy" being precious. UPDATE: Considering the wave of antisemitic attacks worldwide and here in the USA over these past few years, and that the suspects are from Georgia which is not exactly a philosemitic nation which has a significant Muslim populace, I made the assumption that they were Muslim. And so, perhaps I can be faulted for jumping to the conclusion, but it was not necessarily an unreasonable assumption. So Mea Culpa.

(Hat-tip to cob CBD - jjs) Was Congress scheduled to vote on rescissions? Why didn’t that happen? The Federal Reserve has chosen to keep its key interest rate steady at 4.3 percent, despite calls from President Donald J. Trump to lower borrowing costs.

There’s A Massive Donkey Blocking Democrats’ New Plan To Attack Trump I don't believe he's being advanced to the markup. And I met with Mr. Martin. He seems like a good man. Most of my concerns related to January 6 and and he built a compelling case on some of the 1,512 prosecutions that were probably key-to-the-moment bad decisions. But where we probably have a difference is I think anybody that breached the perimeter should have been in prison for some period of time.

It would be a relief if the next Pope would not be a Peronist Jesuit and Islam-appeaser and once again be a real defender of the faith and with it a defender of Western values and civilization. Perhaps the cardinal from Nigeria or one of the other Africans whose flocks are being decimated by the aforementioned resurgent Islam running wild throughout Africa. Would a pope from Nigeria be a defender of Western values? Just asking.

You're unlikely to find a decent and even remotely low mileage used car for under $10k nowadays, and trucks will be even worse. Even if it's a $5000 engine with a 3 year warranty, it might make sense to consider it. Good luck.

Sefton at May 08, 2025 07:58 AM (x0n13) 48 Posted by: Galt at May 08, 2025 07:49 AM (9UnaD) From the National WW2 museum: Assisting the Soviet war effort American Lend-Lease eventually transferred over $11 billion dollars of goods to Soviet Russia—roughly the equivalent of $250 billion today. Those shipments included 400,000 vehicles, 14,000 aircraft, 13,000 tanks, 8,000 tractors, 4.5 million tons of food, and 2.7 million tons of petroleum products, as well as millions of blankets, uniforms, and boots, and 107,000 tons of cotton. While a significant effort on the part of the United States, official Soviet history claims that only 12 percent of airplanes, 10 percent of tanks, and 2 percent of artillery pieces from Lend-Lease were used in the fight. Downplaying the American contributions, Nikolai Voznesky, chairman of Soviet State Planning Committee (Gosplan), reported that Lend-Lease amounted to only 4 percent of Red Army material production. This statement was readily repeated by Soviet apparatchiks during the Cold War despite an unclear definition of just what “material production” they were actually referring to. Yes the Soviets bore the brunt of the fighting but lend lease didn’t matter is Soviet propaganda Posted by: LinusVanPelt at May 08, 2025 08:00 AM (i5Vkf) 49 The dirt on Tillis, whatever it is, should be the leverage needed to get his ass in gear and his head on straight.

If you have to deal with someone elses insurance company, don't. Call your insurance company and have them handle it all.

The problem with Toyotas is they are highly sought after vehicles new or used and thus their prices are often inflated, but you really can't go wrong buying a Honda, Toyota or Subaru new or used. Subaru in particular has held the line on pricing and jacked up msrp the least of the automanufactuers over the last 5 years, Jeep by contrast has hiked their prices in the neighborhood of 60pct over the last five years.

This area gets a bit complex. The Soviets were ALLIED to the NAZIs at the start of the war - that's how they invaded Poland together. The Soviets wanted to extend this alliance and the Germans did not since the latter was planning on sneak attacking the Soviets anyway. The USSR lost so many men because Stalin managed the war and its preparation so poorly. Fortunately for him once the US entered the war it supplied a ridiculous number of supplies so the Soviets could draft much more of their male population then other countries could - for much of the war the Soviets had more soldiers on the front then the Axis powers even though the Axis powers had more people to in theory draft. So both the Soviets and the US were critical to defeating the National Socialists and honestly absent a communist Russia there isn't even a WWII because the Germans are too worried about re-running WWI.

If the will of the voters seeks to limit the power of these institutions in any way, because they are seen as ineffective, corrupt or simply that we can no longer afford to fund them, this is called an "attack on Democracy" by the people whose lives, careers and fortunes depend on these institutions.

Part of the initial revulsion for the Aztek was that customers in the early 2000s were mostly interested in full-sized SUVs or economical sedans, and the Aztek landed squarely in between those two extremes. A design-by-committee approach was meant to incorporate elements of the Chevy Blazer and Camaro with the upright stance of a minivan, and resulted in an ugly form. Despite that, design elements like plastic body armor and a front end that resembles the face of a "Star Wars" character have become the standard on modern crossovers. The Aztek also had a customizable digital dashboard and head-up display long before those features were commonplace. The much-maligned Aztek got a boost when "Breaking Bad" creator Vince Gilligan assigned one to schoolteacher-turned methamphetamine kingpin Walter White (Bryan Cranston), and Edmunds ranked it among the 10 most popular vehicles for millennials during the show's last few seasons.

Literally: "The guy in charge of product development was Don Hackworth, an old-school guy from the tradition of shouts, browbeating, and by-God-I-want-it-done. He said, “Look. We’ve all made up our minds that the Aztek is gonna be a winner. It’s gonna astound the world. I don’t want any negative comments about this vehicle. None.

John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was meeting last week with representatives from a teachers union* in his home state when things quickly devolved. Before long, Fetterman began repeating himself, shouting and questioning why “everybody is mad at me,” “why does everyone hate me, what did I ever do” and slamming his hands on a desk, according to one person who was briefed on what occurred. As the meeting deteriorated, a staff member moved to end it and ushered the visitors into the hallway, where she broke down crying. The staffer was comforted by the teachers who were themselves rattled by Fetterman’s behavior, according to a second person who was briefed separately on the meeting. The interaction at Fetterman’s Washington office came the day before New York Magazine published a story in which former staff and political advisers to Fetterman aired concerns about the senator’s mental health. Something ain't right here. Ultimately I just hope we don't get screwed out of a Dem Senator. we have to force the nutcase out.

With the exception of a spring fling with a BMW 3 Series (that was totaled in a flood), I've had Buicks ever since, and loved 'em. People who know the brand know what a bargain they are. You get seventy percent of the Mercedes/BMW driving experience for fifty percent of the price -- especially when they are used and well cared for.

In part, "Election Systems and Software (ES&S), a Nebraska-based voting machine company that also prints ballots, apologized and took responsibility for the blunder, said Beth Hopkins, director of the Lackawanna Department of Elections and Voter Registration, in a statement." Back in 2019, it was reported by ProPublica, "The Market for Voting Machines Is Broken. This Company Has Thrived in It.' Cont'd - Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at May 08, 2025 10:14 AM (NFX2v) 323 Company Has Thrived in It.' Half the country votes on machines made by ES&S. Many experts and election officials say the manufacturer remains dominant because there’s little government regulation and almost no oversight, by Jessica Huseman Oct. 28, 2019 -- How many years has Pennsylvania had ES&S also print county ballots? How many times have there been errors, distribution & shipping problems, etc. since & including 2019? From the link, above, about Florida & The Federalist: “Florida was very atypical for six years, and then now it’s just going right back into typical mode, which is more like a Texas or an Indiana or a Georgia, a red legislature that, ‘We’re going to do everything we can to bring Walmart’s tax rate to the lowest level imaginable’ and then do absolutely nothing to combat things that affect the quality of life for the desiccating middle class,” says Anthony Sabatini, a Republican former state representative who is now a county commissioner outside Orlando."

But as every progressive group has its assigned areas of responsibility, they're back!) In part, "The teachers union encounter adds to the questions being raised about Fetterman's mental health and behavior barely three years after he survived a stroke on the 2022 campaign trail that he said almost killed him. That was followed by a bout with depression that landed him in Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for six weeks, barely a month after he was sworn into the Senate. The scrutiny also comes at a time when Fetterman, now serving third year of his term, is being criticized by many rank-and-file Democrats in his home state for being willing to cooperate with President Donald Trump, amid Democrats' growing alarm over Trump's actions and agenda." It's wrong, it's cruel.

Posted by: Darin Zimmerman at May 08, 2025 10:58 AM (55jmf) 329 1/2 Let me tell you a story about the GOP protecting grift and profit regardless of the damage to the Republic. Illinois elected a Republican Senator. But, not one who was the chosen candidate of the GOP party. No, he was an outsider who put together his own primary race, beat the party's man, and then beat the Dem's man in the general election. Once in office and as per long-standing custom, he recommended a new U.S. Attorney for Northern Illinois. But, again, not a man the local GOP and powers-that-be wanted. Not a local attorney who was well connected to the Illinois Combine. No, he brought in a States Attorney from New York who had spent the last few years throwing Mafiosi in jail. This gentleman, once confirmed by the Senate, found himself in a target-rich environment and proceeded to throw more than 60 Illinois politicians, lobbyists and others in jail for public corruption. His efforts reached all the way to the top, ending up with putting George Ryan, by then ex-Governor of Illinois, in jail. Posted by: RonF at May 08, 2025 12:38 PM (l8nW6) 330 2/2 The public was thrilled, correctly seeing the elimination of public corruption in high office as a top priority. The Combine, not so much. They couldn't do much about the U.S. Attorney, so they went after the GOP Senator who appointed him. In an election year when the majority in the Senate was at stake, the Illinois GOP put up a candidate against a sitting GOP Senator in the primary, showering their guy with funds and labor while withholding everything from their own actual Senator. Rather than face attacks from his own party and an exhaustion of his own finances, he stood down. The GOP party man then faced an attack from the Chicago Tribune, who forced open the records from his divorce, which had been sealed. Once it was revealed that one of the reasons for his divorce was that he had taken his wife to a Parisian sex club and paid to watch her get F'd by some stud his goose was cooked, and Illinois lost it's last GOP Senator as the seat switched to Democrat. How badly did that screw over not just Illinois but the nation? His Democratic opponent was State Senator Barack Obama. But the grift was protected, and that's what mattered to the Illinois State GOP establishmen Posted by: RonF at May 08, 2025 12:45 PM (l8nW6) 331 The Boisese Communist Party (BCP), officially the Communist Party of Boise (CPB), is the sole ruling party of the Emerging People's Republic of Boise (EPRB) Posted by: DougT at May 08, 2025 01:18 PM (FGQ01) 332 I wonder which foreign nation owns the most Japanese debt?

(The Verge) Not a huge stretch of the imagination, since I don't need an iPhone now and didn't need an iPhone ten years ago. On the other hand, possibly not the best message to send about a product that represents half your company's revenue. I did buy an iMac ten years ago. Great hardware. Solid operating system. UI sucked. Tech News Europe has announced plans to spend $500 million over three years to make the continent a "magnet for scientists". (The Register) Scientists are not ferromagnetic. The Beeling GTR9 Pro is another AMD Strix Halo mini-PC designed like a Mac Studio. (Liliputing) 16 CPU cores, 40 GPU cores, and up to 128GB of RAM on a 256-bit bus. Mostly designed for running AI tasks locally because it can dedicate up to 96GB of RAM to the GPU, but makes a very nice computer for anything that needs a fast processor and solid graphics. Meanwhile if you need a 192-core Arm CPU with 12-channel memory you can now get one. (Serve the Home) You probably don't need one, but it's nice that it exists. Stripe has unveiled an "AI foundation model" for payments. (Tech Crunch) Not a model for payments for AI services, but a model for payments using AI services. Cash or gold only. No cards. No cheques.

Posted by: m at May 08, 2025 04:38 AM (CQE5S) 6 Not a model for payments for AI services, but a model for payments using AI services. - Speaking of, I'm pretty sure I had an AI chatbot in the human chat the other day. I initiated chat at noon and a warning popped up telling me they were extremely busy and it would be over 20 minutes until I could chat with anyone, and they could call me back if I'd like. I chose the "No, I'll wait" option and was IMMEDIATELY connected to chat. I mean immediately. From the moment I clicked "I'll wait" it went straight into "Rajid has entered the chat, Rajid is typing" It seemed even more conversationally off than Universal Rajid normally seems, and would use an ellipses here and there in bizarre places. It finally gave me an unmonitored email address to Amazon customer service (and IIRC the email address on the website says it's unmonitored) where I could contact customer service for more customer service. Yes, it could've been a human Rajid, but I really think they are putting chatbots in as humans now when they're backed up.

(BBC) Posted by: m at May 08, 2025 06:51 AM (CQE5S) 141 It's been discussed here before, but the majority of men will remember compliments from attractive women they don't know for DECADES later because they're so rare. Part of the reason I don't think women understand the compliment thing is because they receive them constantly and from all angles. For men I suspect the reason they're rare is because women-to-men mean something very, very specific socially/sexually. I don't think women refuse to compliment men because they're selfish or mean. I think most understand that there are social understandings that come along with those statements and unless you're related or have some knowledge or history with the person it's a signal similar to flirtatious touching or brushing against an arm.

If said to a woman he knows, should he assume her emotional state / response from hearing such a statement regarding her daily dressing habits? Is it received as a compliment? If said to a woman he doesn't know, how would one expect having a strange man saying "I like to see ladies dressed up" to be received by her?

Every once in a while a ship has a series of bad events. Morale drops as it becomes known as a bad luck ship. Takes good leadership to overcome that. An alternative answer is there are extraordinary demands placed on the ship, the crew, and the planes. Truman has been in combat for it's entire time in the Red Sea, This is a much longer time for the Navy than anything since Vietnam.

The only good thing about going to high school in the 80s. You saw the pretty girls climb the social circles as much as they could, to attract the most popular boys. Good thing high schools gave jackets and such to the ball players ... just to make sure the prettiest girls knew who to fuck first. I enjoy chaos.

The 727 That Vanished Mike Gabriel believes the airplane crashed in the Atlantic Ocean soon after takeoff. One crew member from the fuel delivery operation thinks the Angolan air force shot it down with a missile. A Luandan pilot says the word there is that the aircraft went north and vanished near Kinshasa, Congo. One of Ben Padilla's friends says the airplane was disassembled for parts in Bujumbura, Burundi, on Tanzania's western border. *** More random: Some people specifically collect hyper inflation bank notes. Excessive money printing never ends well, but the money is distinctive. *** Beethoven premiered "Ode to Joy" in Vienna on this date in 1824. Was Beethoven deaf when he wrote his Ninth Symphony? As Beethoven flourished and gained musical notoriety, he noticed a decline in his hearing from his mid 20s. It began with a buzzing noise in his ears, and was a devastatingly scary time for the composer. While his hearing proceeded to decline over the next 15 years, Beethoven found ways to continue to compose music. At the age of 40, Beethoven was completely deaf, yet this was when he wrote his most famous symphony - Symphony No.9, also known as The Ninth. It is said that Beethoven used techniques to physically feel music and notes in his body. This included holding a pencil in his mouth and resting it against the piano so he could feel the vibrations of the notes against his lips. The lower notes emulated a deeper vibration, therefore, pieces written in the second half of his career included fewer high notes and more low ones. There is evidence that Beethoven also cut the legs of his pianos, so that the sound vibrations resonated through the ground and into his body as he wrote his compositions! Beethoven apparently ruined many pianos in his later career from hitting the keys so aggressively in order for him to 'hear' what he was playing. More: How did Beethoven write one of his greatest compositions while deaf? *** Continuing with the classical music theme, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was born this day in 1840. *** Mike Rowe's early career at QVC.

Hooray for those than can run a marathon and kudos for those that have fun doing it. But a record in the Guinness Book of World records?

There are several performing versions of the finale, principally by William Carragan and Benjamin Cohrs. https://youtu.be/XM3wnkIS4Ao But the coda of the third movement is so remarkable, especially after the anguished dissonant shriek that precedes it, that a finale seems superfluous.

His training and experience informed his composition. He undoubtedly would have liked to hear it, but probably could hear the sound in his head without benefit of his ears. I hear music in my head, including instrumentation and vocals and I'm hardly musically literate. It's just there. Until a few years ago, I thought everyone could do that.

Posted by: GWB at May 07, 2025 10:40 PM (wbjSL) 129 More: How did Beethoven write one of his greatest compositions while deaf? It's not really as curious as it seems. The human consciousness is imputed to us by our Creator, and all outward projection of that consciousness is just a means of relating it to other conscious beings. Language, music, art, imagery, they actually exist in the mind absent a means to project it, as does all other rational thought. It's the same consciousness that allows us to know and use hypotheticals like "How would I feel if I didn't eat breakfast?" without actually having to go through the sensory event each time to intrinsically comprehend it. So writing a symphony absent being able to hear it isn't really surprising, it's merely a means of conveyance of something that exists in the ethereal as a creation of a mind. The miracle, such as there is one, is that human consciousness is able to create something which has not been, to conceive, and produce. This is the spark of divine, the image of God, ingrained in mankind from conception. The marvel is not how to write a symphony without hearing it, the marvel is how to write one at all.

I hadn't listened to it in its entirety for a number of years until a few days ago. It is some wildly overlooked work by the band. Petty is in a furious mood about the state of the music business in general. From the personal perspective he laments the loss of being able to pool money, go see a band, and be inspired. By extension he is mostly riled up by the losses in life, it peppers the whole album. It is worth a spin. This is a live version of the title track and the band crushes it.

The pain started in 10 minutes, became excruciating at 15 minutes, standing or sitting. Only thing for it was to lie down, which eased the pain almost immediately. So if I couldn’t have gotten to Larry’s Subs in town (I’ve raked the driver’s seat back like a low rider - I can see over the hood and can operate the vehicle safely) I would have starved. As it is, I’ve lost 16 lbs. I tipped the waitstaff extra to bring the sandwiches out to my truck. I could make the trip to the Tundra and back, stopping at the fridge to stash extra 12 inch sandwiches, grab a bag of potato chips, and a paper plate on a wicker tray, and cold bottled drink. Then I would lie on my back with the plate on my chest and eat on my back in bed. No matter how good the sandwiches are, you get tired of them. I can see why the Hebrews wanted some meat after a steady, monotonous diet of mana, the celestial food.

I wasn't a hard core collector, but I didn't get their space-related figurines, due to being a NASA kid. And I collected a different series because they looked so much like #2 daughter it was scary. I bought the ones that brought me joy; never got them with an eye to future value - that wasn't ever my intent. I still like looking at them, usually because each one was purchased to commemorate a happy time in my life. My poor family is going to have to deal with them when I am gone....

I can't recall that but it may well be true and I just dismissed it as he was a product of his time and location. Anyhow, while some may think it unfair for a person to be labeled racist this is Ace's place. He really can't be seen as honoring such a person. Scumbag leftists could run with that to ruin Ace. Someone correct me if I am wrong please. See the addition to my sig. Posted by: Farmer, with his own historical take at May 08, 2025 12:45 AM (55Qr6) 308 So good news! Thank the Lord, after my surgery, I have been able to sit indefinitely in a straight back chair, provided I put a large throw pillow in that chair, so I can recline. I can also stand long enough to cook something. I started with my “Eggs in a Nest” recipe I gave a few nights back on the blog. Then I heated a whole can (two regular bowls worth) of Campbell’s OLD BAY® Seasoned Clam Chowder. I have a couple of extra large bowls, so I put the whole thing in one of them and proceeded to chow down. You may wrinkle your nose at Campbell’s, but it was good. Had some toast rusks on the side. And last night! I made a three egg omelette with mushrooms, bacon, and grated sharp cheddar cheese. I made a chamomile and spearmint herbal infusion from Celestial Seasonings in my good old Blue Bettie pot, cause I don’t want caffeine at night. I put 4 bags in for two cups, and steeped it for 6 minutes: it still came out weak - typical for herbal “teas” I’m afraid. Anyway it was delicious! And yes, I went out to eat for lunch today because I could, and I wanted to. I got a lunch special at Cracker Barrel (yes, wrinkle that nose!). It was _good_!!

The Boy Scouts is likely the best example, and one everyone has seen personally and locally. Get in, gain some element of control, promote your degeneracy, and you succeed regardless.

What was once a nice company supporting decent things turns into a DEI LGBTQWERTY clusterfuck sponsoring drag queen story hour in your public library. On X, a guy named Robbie Starbuck has been doing yeoman's work exposing companies' DEI policies, like Harley-Davidson and other supposed pro-American companies. The left cannot create their own (See: both talk radio and podcasting), so they take over an organization from the inside, making it only superficially recognizable by the name (and its past) only, a skin suit.

Could make biscuits using the reflector oven or on a weekend camps spaghetti and meatballs; I mean, we didn't starve or eat crappy food. Learned how to make fire and cook on it. The pans were shitty so you learned real fast what not to do. Cleaned pans in river sand. Yep, self-sufficient independence. Terrible thing -- for totalitarians.

Between the motivation of welfare and the non-monogamous "gay marriage" cosplaying absurdity, it worked beautifully. And now here we are, with illegitimate children 100% accepted and celebrated in almost all parts of society, polyamory a fairly mainstream idea, and women willingly coordinating harems amongst themselves in order to be briefly used sexually by the top 20% of men in any given regional population.

In college, I stopped by to see him as my Mom told me he was in bad shape. While I was there, another former scout, from before my time, dropped by. He was a Naval Aviator. Mr. Ira C.

Posted by: 13times at May 08, 2025 03:32 AM (zXoXa) 360 Well, Mr. Cobbie, it doesn't work that way any more. We're FOSSILS, dude. - I don't disagree. I will say that part of our responsibility is to not require young people to have to re-learn what we (and Western Civilization as a whole) have known for literally thousands of years. People tend to see even having the conversation in an attempt to help youth as "bashing" or "toxic" or what-not, but there's no other way to have it. We know with 100% certainty what works. We've observed the last 50+ years and know without a doubt that THIS does not work. It doesn't work that way anymore. We have to teach our children that it did work and does work, though. The difficult part will be similar to cell phones. They learn by example. Show them, don't tell them. And re-forming functioning families when there are financial motivations at both the personal and government level for its continued destruction will be extremely difficult to do. Probably at the level of achieving meaningful restrictions/bans on abortion (which is closely tied to the overall collapse , too). Posted by: Boron Cobbie - smile and satisfy your boss' every desire, but not tonight dear I have a headache at May 08, 2025 03:34 AM (g7exq) 361 I was unable to teach by example, Boron Cobbie. I was unable to have children. Hubby & XW had to adopt, and only got one child. He's great, but I had little to do with raising him, as he was 16 by the time hubs and I got together... Can't complain, but also cannot take credit. He's a confirmed bachelor (the divorce scarred him terribly, I suspect) and if he ever has kids, will likely be of the step- variety.

Pearl is one of the most interesting women of the 20th century - especially her life in China from when she was a tiny child until she was 30. One of the themes being how Pearl and her mother are just whoopie cushions. Pearl pretty much rejects that nonsense.

Posted by: JQ, feeling like a total CHUMP at May 08, 2025 03:51 AM (rdVOm) 368 I will always avoid anything too personal. I will say that yes, relationship and resources from the man in exchange for sex / sexual access from the woman has been the understood coin of the realm. Sadly I think that once feminists convinced women that the most valuable thing they possessed was valueless, so did the overall understanding of meaningful relationships as a whole. And that's a downward spiral right from the start, especially if the people getting married didn't grow up as children of married people. It sounds harsh but I would encourage any young person to carefully consider marriage to someone from a broken home. Similar to baby mommas daughters hearing how awesome life is and how brave mommy is and then growing up to predictably also become baby mommas, you know going in what the likely outcome of that marriage will be.

Posted by: JQ, feeling like a total CHUMP at May 08, 2025 04:11 AM (rdVOm) 375 I think men were behind the whole 'borshun BS. - I think it's even worse, and we got a glimpse of it a few years ago. Remember when corporations were openly saying they'd provide transportation for women to travel to another state to kill their babies (unsaid: so the women wouldn't miss work, quit the job, or require hiring / retraining another employee)? I think that was a glimpse of the truth and what the prime mover was so many years ago, similar to how women didn't want voting rights but they were simultaneously pushed through / onto them by the governments of 1st world nations (sound familiar?)

We discovered there was an OB/GYN in Ventura named Martha Beaver. We tried to convince the female employees that one of them needed to book an appointment, if only to find out if the doctor had been born to that name or acquired it via marriage.

Everyone in the military knew the surf on that coast was too rough for it to survive, but Biden ordered it to go in anyways. I had noted that a fascinating aspect is that this has been known about that coast for at least 2,000 years, and the Romans did a stellar job of building a port for themselves at Caesarea, because no natural harbors existed there. (really built by Herod for them). Of course they dug out a whole new harbor from the beach and surrounded it with huge breakwaters of Roman maritime concrete, which are still there. American engineering circa 2024: ruined in less than a month. Roman engineering in the first century: still there after two millennia.

Posted by: Altaria Pilgram - My President has convictions at May 08, 2025 02:16 AM (amnH6) Quick Hits Whoopie Goldberg in her "black dandy" cross-dressing gear at the Met Gala Speaking of gender-benders: Michelle Obama announces she's "transitioning." That's a little clickbait, because we know "she" transitioned decades back. From "People" Magazine: Michelle -- who has been a longtime "advocate" of therapy and has done it for years -- likened it on the podcast to getting a "tune-up," and she noted that she felt that this was the perfect time in her life to do so, knowing all the things she already did. "Let me unwind some old habits. Let me sort through some old guilt that I've been carrying around. Let me talk about how my relationship with my mother has affected how I think about things," she shared. "So, I'm getting that tune-up for this next phase because I believe this is a whole other phase in life for me," she continued. "And I now have the wisdom to know-- let me go get some coaching while I'm doing it so that I have other voices other than the people who know me best. I've got a new person that's getting to know me, and seeing me completely new and hearing all these emotions." For some reason, people just aren't interested in hearing this entitled fugly Tony Rezko project whine about how hard she's got it. Former first lady Michelle Obama's new podcast ranks 34th on Spotify's top podcast chart, weeks after debuting her first episode alongside her brother Craig Robinson. The podcast ranks slightly higher on Apple Podcasts, as the 21st podcast on the list. Michelle Obama and Robinson launched a podcast in early March called "IMO." ... Obama and Robinson's podcast ranks fourth under Education podcasts, according to Spotify's charts. In what possible sense is this an "education" podcast? Is it just about the unshakable white liberal belief that black people are our Wise Teachers? The one upside to "her" podcast: All she does is complain about being married to Barack Obama and stating that there aren't just "hard times" in a marriage, but hard decades. Yes, this is a real, loving marriage between two fierce heterosexuals who are plainly crazy about each other. Obama revealed during the first episode that former President Barack Obama had to "adjust" to leaving on time and improve his punctuality when they got married. "Well, Barack, you know, he had to adjust to what 'on time' was," she told her brother. "I've got this husband who's like, when it's time to leave -- it's 3:00 -- he's getting up and going to the bathroom. And I was like, dude, dude, 3:00 departure means you've done all that, you know?" The former first lady also revealed that Robinson helped convince her to back Barack's run for the presidency. "I mean, we knew Barack was smart and, you know, ambitious," Obama said. "But you talked me into supporting his run, and he was smart enough to know that he needed to come to you and sell you on the idea." The "shocking identity" of the terrorist who planned a mass-casualty attack at a Lady Gaga concert in Rio de Janeiro is revealed: he's an illegal alien deported from America previously. Boy, that is shocking. Plot twist! As new details emerge in the shocking plot to commit an act or terror at a Lady Gaga concert, one of the suspects has been identified as a man who was deported from the United States just last month. The 44-year-old male suspect, who had lived in the U.S. for 27 years according to CNN, was planning on carrying out multiple attacks at the Grammy Award-winning singer's free show at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday night. The United States Consulate initially learned of the man's plans after he made a social media post and tipped off the Rio de Janeiro Civil police. Brazilian investigators discovered that he held a 'spiritual war' with Lady Gaga and that the outline of attacks would have included the livestream of a child's execution and setting up bombs near the stage. The suspect, who also made threats via online chat groups, was charged with terrorism and promoting crime but was not arrested. 'He said that the singer was a Satanist and that he was going to perform a Satanist ritual too, killing a child during the show,' Rio de Janeiro Civil Police secretary, officer Felipe Curi said. Authorities are investigating whether his recent terror activity was motivated by his removal from the U.S. DailyMail.com reached out to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for comment. Two suspects, an adult identified as Luis da Silva and a 17-year-old boy, were taken into custody after authorities used Discord as part of an attempt to sign up other people, including teens, to execute simultaneous attacks against children and members of LGBTQ+ community who were among the nearly 2.1 million people who attended the concert. 'They plan to use Molotov cocktails and explosive backpacks,' the police complaint said. Speaking of leftist violence: A GOP congressman has gone into hiding and will not be casting votes due to leftist's threatening to murder his wife, children, and grandchildren: A "credible threat" made against Rep. Derrick Van Orden's family prompted the Wisconsin Republican to miss votes on Wednesday and reschedule a town hall event. "Rep. Van Orden will be missing votes tomorrow and rescheduling his upcoming town hall due to a credible threat made against his wife, children, and grandchildren," the congressman's press office said in a statement on X. "The threat was delivered via a letter to his D.C. office and has been reported to the appropriate authorities. "No elected official, regardless of political party affiliation, should have to worry about the safety of their family while serving the American people. Threats of political violence are not just dangerous -- they are anti-American," the statement continued. "This type of behavior is the direct result of increasingly radical and violent rhetoric fueled by far-left Democrats who encourage hatred rather than healthy discourse. It is a poison on our nation and every Member of Congress -- Republican or Democrat -- should fully condemn it when they see it," his office added. "The Congressman looks forward to returning to D.C. to do the job the people of Wisconsin's Third District elected him to do." Trump says he will cancel funding of the trillion dollar "high speed rail" boondoggle in California. We'll see about that, say 100 injunctions pre-written by George Soros' lawyers, ready to be signed by Obama judges. During a press briefing in the Oval Office on Tuesday with with the Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney, President Donald Trump called out California's Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom and the High-Speed Rail project. "A little train going from San Francisco to Los Angeles that's being run by Gavin Newscomb, the governor of California. He has got that train - is the worst cost overrun I've ever seen. It's like totally out of control," Trump said. He went on to say, "And Gavin, unfortunately, you know, I always liked Gavin. I had a good relationship with him. But if you think about it and you got to take a look at this project, it's the worst cost overrun I've ever seen. I've watched a lot of stupid people build a lot of stupid things, but that's the worst cost overrun I've ever seen." "I told our very great new Secretary of Transportation, he's doing a good job, Sean Duffy. I said we're not going to pay for that thing," Trump said. "They are just it's out of control. This is something that you don't have things like this. It's not even conceivable, like 30 times over budget. ..30 times. It's the craziest thing. I think the media should take a look at it." The High-Speed Authority also issued a statement: "Despite the noise in Washington, California's high-speed rail project is delivering real results. There is active civil construction along 119 miles in the Central Valley, resulting in over 15,000 construction jobs, and design and pre-construction activities are underway on the extensions to Merced and Bakersfield totaling 171 miles," the Authority spokesperson said. We have now fully environmentally cleared the route between San Francisco to Los Angeles, and we have invested in projects in the Bay Area and Los Angeles that are already increasing public safety, transit efficiency, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We've poured hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars into this graft slush fund since early in the Obama presidency, and they're crowing that in 2025, they've completed some of the design and *"pre-construction activities" -- are you f*ing kidding me right now? -- and have environmentally cleared* the building of 200 miles of train. All of this has been accomplished since... 2009. And they want to be praised for this! Biden offered a delusional defense to remaining in the race: He was so incredibly successful in his presidency that destiny compelled him to keep on succeeding. "I don't think it would have mattered. We left at a time when we had a good candidate, she was fully funded," he said. "And what happened was... I had become, what we had set out to do, no one thought we could do, I had become so successful in our agenda, it was hard to say, 'Now I'm going to stop now.' California's high-speed rail project is one of the worst managed projects in the U.S. and is a great example of government incompetence and waste. It's billions of dollars over budget, had a completion date of 2020, and has transported 0 passengers.

Yes, there exist men who whine all the time too. But usually not to attract attention to themselves. Men tend to whine so as to get others to stop making them work. Then they're done whining because they got what they wanted, which was to be left alone. Michelle whines because she wants to attract attention and pity and reassurance.

At this point, I beg to differ. This is one of the best managed projects in the U.S. because, clearly, their goal is not a public goal but actually a government goal. What is the goal? A timely, functioning, well-budgeted rail line? Of course not. The goal is an ongoing, interminable, financial sink with side action and an endless (but dishonest) advertisement that public funding is "doing good work for you". It's not a problem or project to be solved; it's a problem or project to be exploited. An ending is actually failure.

Dozens of masked anti-Israel protesters stormed Columbia University's Butler Library as students prepared Wednesday to study for end-of-year exams. Video posted on social media shows a large group of activists shoving past a security guard at the library's front entrance, who tried in vain to stop the mob but was quickly overcome. Once inside, they draped large signs over bookshelves, one declaring the library a "liberated zone" and another bearing the name of Bassel al-Araj, a Palestinian activist killed by Israel Defense Forces in a 2017 raid in the West Bank -- though they misspelled his first name as "Basel." The raucous demonstrators then donned keffiyeh headscarves, and beat drums while clapping to chants of "free, free Palestine." The school has been on alert since rumors circulated late last month that protesters were planning on re-establishing the campus tent encampments that plagued the Ivy League school for much of last spring. Columbia "University" has axed 180 "researchers," mostly doing "studies" designed to make arguments for left-wing causes, following Trump's freezing of federal funds. John Sexton spotlights this Very Sad Story from the New York Times about the quality "research" that will now go unfunded: Tamara Sussman, a researcher in psychiatry at Columbia, had a federal grant canceled in March for research that examined the consequences of structural racism on substance use risk in Puerto Rican adolescents. The research assistant that she had recently hired was among those let go. "This is a really hard time for anyone who wants to do research, but particularly for people who are starting out," Dr. Sussman said Tuesday. "It is very disheartening to see the wheels of science kind of grinding to a halt in certain ways." Linda McMahon to Harvard University: Drop dead. Education Secretary Linda McMahon is telling Harvard University that it should no longer ask for grant funding, as "none will be provided," in a letter to University President Alan Garber. McMahon's scathing letter called out the supposedly elite university for for becoming embroiled in plagiarism scandals, needing remedial math, and engaging in "ugly racism." She also slammed the school for hiring far-left mayors, Bill de Blasio of New York City and Lori Lightfoot of Chicago, saying, "This is like hiring the captain of the Titanic to teach navigation to future captains of the sea." "Harvard University has made a mockery of this country's higher education system. It has invited foreign students, who engage in violent behavior and show contempt for the United States of America, to its campus," McMahon wrote. "In every way, Harvard has failed to abide by its legal obligations, its ethical and fiduciary duties, its transparency responsibilities. and any semblance of academic rigor. It had scrapped standardized testing requirements and a normalized grading system. This year Harvard was forced to adopt an embarrassing 'remedial math' program for undergraduates. Why is it, we ask, that Harvard has to teach simple and basic mathematics, when it is supposedly so hard to get into this 'acclaimed university?' Who is getting in under such a low standard when others, with fabulous grades and a great understanding of the highest levels of mathematics, are being rejected?" McMahon made clear to Harvard that the federal government was willing to keep federal funding if the institution was committed to complying with federal law, protect students, and end its racial preferences by finally abiding by the Supreme Court's decision to end affirmative action. Harvard would need to return to a meritocratic system for admissions and hiring, end "unlawful programs that promote crude identity stereotypes," and comply with law enforcement, including with the Department of Homeland Security. Doing so, McMahon wrote, would "advance the best interests of Harvard University, so it can reclaim its status a respected educational institution." "Given these and other concerning allegations, this letter is to inform you that Harvard should no longer seek GRANTS from the federal government, since none will be provided," she said. "Harvard will cease to be a publicly funded institution and can instead operate as a privately-funded institution, drawing on its colossal endowment, and raising money from its large base of wealthy alumni."

So, did blogger consider my description of Pritzker hateful (“an ambulant giant blob of fat”? Or was it that I referred to gender reassignment as vile? Or did blogger see my invitation to send him donuts as a kind of incitement to slow-motion assassination? I've written blogger, so I guess I'll find out (maybe).

The National Guard marched aimlessly about the area chasing/being chased alterately for a while without much point until they hit a fenced area that kinda surrounded them. This built up for a while, then they marched thru the crowd up a small rise and there was a surge in the crowd on one flank and behind which led to the troops on that side turning and firing a volley.

Posted by: sock_rat_eez at May 07, 2025 06:13 PM (/Ghsb) 168 Evening, people of the Ace World, My power was out for six hours today thanks to an explosive thunderstorm with quite a bit of wind. At 9:30 I got back from my errands, flicked the light switch, and nada. The local power company at first promised power would be back on by 11:30 am, then by midnight (!) ("tomorrow at 12 am" I hope meant this midnight). At 3:30 pm I'm sitting at my open door reading, and reached up to flick the light switch, not really expecting anything, but -- POWER! HAHAHAHA! The worst of it, of course, is not knowing when the outage will end. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at May 07, 2025 06:14 PM (omVj0) 169 You know why they put those stupid side-saber bits on the blade? Well the main reason was "this looks KEWL!!!! HE LOOKS BADASS!" which, he didn't. But the other reason is "there's no guard on a light saber, and even if there was, the blade would just go right through it." Which is true. you could just slide your blade down the other one and into the hand of your foe. So retconning superfans came up with the "sticky lightsaber" theory in which the blades tend to stick making it not possible to slide down your opponent's saber. Kind of like how they explained away how a parsec is not a measurement of time.

Same thing with a lightsaber, especially the more ridiculous variants coming out lately. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at May 07, 2025 06:01 PM (2VST1) There's a funny story "Gun without a Bang" where a scout is sent to a wild planet with a new disintegrator pistol and he gets attacked by packs of hostile wolf like critters. He kills them, but they don't stop. then other animals join in. He steps over a log, but its a gator like animal and when he shoots down he falls into the resulting pit and injures his leg. He realizes that the animals don't stop because nothings wounded, cries out in pain or gives a hint something is wrong. He gets to his ship and finds in the final run he has chopped up his ship with stray shots, has no fuel and holes in the hull. A rescue ship finds him a year later, in a nice stockade with a bow and arrow. The weapon is being used to hammer in the stockade logs.

You have to space out so your swings dont interfere and lop each others arms of.

They built up to that duel between him and Vader; that first time Vader turned his on; evil red; totally sht just got real moment. They cheapened so much in the follow up movies, i was actually tired of having Jedi main characters because you knew there was doing to be several scenes of acrobatics and karate kicks. One of the reasons I didn't mind rogue one, although it had more than its fair share of stupid sht, i did like having spies and special forces characters rather than Jedi.

I read a story about a jet that got sent back in time to WWI somehow and figured he'd show the Bosch how they did it 1970s style. But the biplanes had a low heat signature so the missiles wouldn't lock on. And they were made of cloth so the guns tended not to hit much. And he moved so fast he had a hard time even getting a bead on anything. I like that kind of sci fi "not like you figured" storyline but I'm not sure its 100% plausible or would work out that way.

More than 60 service members were injured as a part of former President Joe Biden's floating aid pier in Gaza, a Pentagon Inspector General report published on Tuesday said, a number significantly higher than had been previously disclosed. The pier, announced by Biden during a televised address to Congress in March 2024, was a massive endeavor that took about 1,000 U.S. forces to execute. But bad weather and distribution challenges inside Gaza limited the effectiveness of what the U.S. military says was its biggest aid delivery effort ever in the Middle East. The pier was only operational for about 20 days and cost about $230 million. It's repulsive. While there were no deaths or known direct attacks on the pier, the Pentagon had said three U.S. troops suffered non-combat injuries in support of the pier in May, with one medically evacuated in critical condition. But the new report by the Pentagon Inspector General said that the number was actually 62. "Based on the information provided, we were not able to determine which of these 62 injuries occurred during the performance of duties or resulted off duty or from pre-existing medical conditions," the report said. The pier became a sore point in Congress, where Republicans branded it a political stunt by Biden, who was under pressure from fellow Democrats to do more to aid Palestinians after months of staunchly supporting Israel's punishing war on Hamas. So Biden spent $230 million and injured 62 servicemen as a political payoff to Ilhan Omar and the Terror Wing of the Democrat Party. David Strom: You would think a Pentagon reporter would dig into the basic facts of a purely American action, but it took a change of administrations and the digging of an Inspector General to reveal basic facts that a moderately competent reporter should have easily dug up. ... The financial cost was outrageous--almost a quarter of a billion dollars--and the cost in blood was over 60 soldiers wounded--all to deliver a few trucks in aid that were stolen by Hamas as soon as they hit the shores. It wasn't just a debacle; it aided the enemy. This is a huge scandal. Army Sgt. Quandarius Stanley was killed by this pier. It didn't just cost money, it cost LIVES. Sgt. Stanley died RIGHT before the election so that the Biden-Harris admin could have a talking point to appease their Hamas Caucus base. pic.twitter.com/OIQrvowKhc — Andrew Follett (@AndrewCFollett) May 7, 2025 DOGEai @dogeai_gov Biden's Gaza pier was a $230M disaster--60+ troops injured, 20 days of operation, zero strategic value. The Pentagon IG report confirms what we already knew: this was a reckless, politically-driven stunt. Sending 1,000 troops into a logistical nightmare to appease Hamas sympathizers isn't leadership--it's malpractice. Taxpayers funded this chaos while our military faced equipment failures and mission confusion. Real aid requires security and accountability, not virtue-signaling boondoggles that endanger service members. Prioritize American safety, not performative foreign policy.

Posted by: Pudinhead at May 07, 2025 04:37 PM (pZ64F) 11 The pier crap was one of the most idiotic things ever. It wasn't designed for those conditions. It wouldn't take those conditions. Even before it was destroyed by the conditions, it didn't produce anything useful when theoretically 'operational'. But the so-called 'leadership' didn't care. Because it did exactly what they wanted - create a stupid photo op of them 'doing something'. When the photo op of 'doing something' is the goal, insane crap like this happens.

So instead of forcing either the Egyptians or Israelis to play ball, which would have been tough diplomatically and involved lots of bribes, the decision was made to build a laughably and unbelievably (in the literal sense of the word) expensive pier that only lasted a month, likely making many people rich in the process.

First, it is not clear that anyone at the general/flag officer level told Blinken or his underlings that this would not work or even what the risks were, beyond the obvious one of being attacked. This had to have been someone's idea. Whoever championed this idea would have been incentivized to downplay the problems. You know, we might get our hair a little mussed up. But it's budget time, we need to show our stuff. Second, it is not clear that whoever championed this idea knew it wouldn't work. The DEI officers who run things are unlikely to have a whole lot of experience with actual combat engineering tasks, but a lot of experience with being the social aide to the Deputy Assistant Director of the Defense Research and Engineering Agency and Assistant Professor of Military Science at some random HBC. They had a class somewhere where they learned that the engineers can build piers. They maybe heard somewhere in one of their classes that the Mulberries were the key to logistics success in Normandy until Cherbourg and Le Havre were captured.

And I still don't get the love for Arabs, and hostility to Jews. It's a simple proposition: you can't do anything about this war besides get further involved in it, which is highly inadvisable. So, at minimum, you can choose to withdraw munitions sales and intelligence cooperation with a heretofore friendly country in order to aid a hostile one. Not a fantastic option, but it is one. Or, stepping even a little further back, you could just admit that the only peace in Israel will be a Carthaginian one, and ask which population you'd prefer to survive.

Posted by: Ghost of the Tsar at May 08, 2025 11:06 AM (dweVS) Conclave to Elect Next Pope Begins Smoke on the Tiber. Morrissey mentions that left-wing anti-catholic church officials are aghast about the impact that African cardinals may have in the selection process, because African cardinals, unlike the left-wing fake Catholics infesting the church, aren't so keen on beatifying all gays as saints. From the National Catholic Register: Cardinal Czerny Causes Furor With Comments on a Potential African Pope *Pope Francis' former point man on migrants has drawn criticism with comments in the context of the African continent being deeply opposed to the LGBTQ agenda.* VATICAN CITY -- Pope Francis' former point man on migrants has drawn criticism by saying in an article published Sunday that some African cardinals make him "shudder" and that he believes "conservatives" are calling for an African pope to further their agenda. Cardinal Michael Czerny, a Jesuit who served as prefect at the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development in the last years of Pope Francis' pontificate, made the derisive comments to The New York Times in the context of the African continent being deeply opposed to the LGBTQ agenda. "I can think of some African cardinals -- they make me shudder," Cardinal Czerny said in the article published May 4. When the newspaper asked whether conservative Catholics were rallying behind an African pope as a "Trojan horse" to further their agenda, Cardinal Czerny replied: "Certainly, certainly, certainly, and that's why it's so, so, so stupid to say things like Africa's time has come." ... He said he becomes "agitated" when people say it is time for an American, African, or "South Islander" pope. "I think that is so stupid," he opined. "It's time for the successor of Peter for 2025." The priority, he added, "is evangelization; to bring the Gospel to society in season and out of season; to bring the Gospel to all of creation." The Czech-born Canadian cardinal is currently now unreachable for comment, as he is taking part in the conclave. His comments came ahead of remarks made by Bishop Robert Barron, founder of the Word on Fire Catholic media ministry, who, by contrast, believes geography is important in relation to the papacy, especially when it comes to Africa. He explained to EWTN's Colm Flynn on May 5 that the Church is flourishing in Africa, especially in Nigeria, where around 94% of Catholics go to Mass, vocations are booming, and the Church is facing persecution. "Why are we so preoccupied with the Church in Germany, where the Church is kind of withering on the vine?" Bishop Barron asked. "Why don't we study the Nigerian Church, and see what they're doing, right, and let's imitate it?" "So, yes, I think it might be the African moment," the bishop continued. "And I do think in the synods during the Francis years, the Africans found their voice in a fresh way." Cardinal Czerny's comments are likely to embolden African cardinals who have never welcomed such animosity to their traditional stances on moral issues, especially when it comes to homosexuality. This became clear during the furor over Fiducia Supplicans, the 2023 declaration allowing non-liturgical blessings of same-sex couples, when Africa's Catholic bishops rejected the Vatican document. It was also readily apparent in 2014, when, in the context of homosexuality being a taboo in Africa, German Cardinal Walter Kasper caused uproar and provoked accusations of racism when he said (and then falsely denied) that Africans should not tell the Church in the West "too much what to do" regarding homosexuality and other such issues currently acceptable in secular Western culture.

Take a stroll down memory lane at all the "OUTRAGE!!!!" flying out of the Vatican the moment USAID was cut and smothered. The hyperbole was, well, hyperbolic. "Millions will die." "This is sinful!!!" Let's not forget that it coincides with a hiring freeze at the Vatican, and the freeze of pension funds. Coincidence I'm sure. Catholic Relief Funds had to layoff 50% of their staff. So, yeah, don't care for Catholic politics. They were on the take like most of the rest of the world....only they were taking credit for any good that eventually (or accidentally) happened. No mention of where those funds came from. I'm with whomever wanted to see orange smoke come out of the Vatican in the last thread...just because I'm a heathen.

I am not even sure that was their real name Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at May 07, 2025 03:24 PM (2VST1) I vaguely recall my devoutly Catholic mother referring to the portion of the turkey that flew over the fence last as 'the pope's nose'. I have a theory - if you're not allowed to mock it - it's not the one with power. Example - Catholics - and everyone else - make fun of Catholicism all the time. Nobody dares do that to Islam. Why? Because Islam is so afraid that if you see the ridiculousness of their premise, it all falls apart. Christianity says 'go ahead. We've withstood persecution 2000 years. Ain't gonna go away now'.

The collapse of it because of USAID getting Doged is not a bad think, at all. What really pisses me off is the special collections they used to get in church, as if they needed my $10 to do "charity" work. It isn't charity if you take our taxes to do it.

Posted by: XTC at May 07, 2025 04:14 PM (UnA8+) Bishop Morlino of Madison of late memory was raised a Jesuit, but he had a spine of steel and was far to intellectual and holy to stick with it. I expect he is a saint in heaven for standing up to the Soviet Socialist Republic of Madison WI. Most Jesuits go astray, and it is primarily because so many of them are homosexuals. Others are just left over hippies from the 60's, and their time is coming to an end. An awful lot of them are, indeed, heretics, and they live in their own echo chamber.

There are a few of the sedevacantists who believe it was Pius XII, but most believe the rot goes back farther than John XXIII. Some objected to John taking a name that a Pope already had, even though the original was considered an anti-Pope. And most of us consider Cranky Franky to have been an anti-Pope because he was elected after engineering B16 to abdicate. You will find all sorts of conspiracy theorists in and out of the Church.

Posted by: I am the Shadout Mapes, the Housekeeper at May 07, 2025 04:36 PM (PiwSw) 454 Interesting factoid: The last Pope who was elected on the first vote was Pius XII in 1939. It is historically less than 5% over 250+ Popes. Historians attribute the quick vote in '39 to being during WW2 in Europe, assuming the Cardinals didn't want to show instability. Posted by: Lincolntf at May 07, 2025 04:16 PM (2cS/G) Or the secret fact that that pope actually DID have 20 divisions of troops. Posted by: Oldcat Pope Pius XII was the Secretary of State to Pope Pius X. There is a great book out about him during WWII, called "Church of Spies", about the Vatican running agents and working assassination plots against Hitler during the war. This book is based on material that just was made public 10-12 years ago. It's well researched and a great read, like a thriller spy novel. There is another book that takes the same information and takes an alternate track, very critical of Pius XII.

Posted by: The Gipper Lives at May 08, 2025 06:59 AM (+6ukn) A "Foreign Aid" Official Who Blocked DOGE from Seeing Agency Records Had a Personal Reason to Stop the Audit Would you believe that he was diverting taxpayer money to a "friend" who then kicked back "secret payments" to his bank account? Luke Rosniak at Daily Wire: A foreign aid official who refused the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to his agency's financial records may have had a reason to keep auditors out: he steered illicit contracts to a friend who sent him secret payments, according to a law enforcement affidavit obtained by The Daily Wire. Mathieu Zahui, chief financial officer of the African Development Foundation, refused to grant DOGE access to its books and told the White House that the agency would not acknowledge President Donald Trump's appointee as chairman of the board. After a dramatic showdown in March, DOGE physically took over the building with U.S. Marshals, but control of the agency is now the subject of a lawsuit objecting to "swooping in with DOGE staff, demanding access to sensitive information systems" -- an objection that reads differently in light of the criminal probe. For years, workers at the small, USAID-adjacent federal agency focused on Africa have told oversight bodies about allegations of self-dealing, procurement violations, and mysterious offshore bank accounts, many of them involving Zahui. But little was done about it, several told The Daily Wire. One action that raised eyebrows was Zahui's insistence on directing both grants and contracts to a company in Kenya called Ganiam Ltd. According to spending records, it was awarded nearly $800,000 in contracts without competition. For example, a one-year, $350,000 contract for "transport, travel, relocation" services was executed in March 2020, when few people were traveling or holding conferences because of coronavirus. According to a search warrant application uncovered by The Daily Wire, USAID's inspector general established by August 2024 that the company's owner had secretly wired money to Zahui's personal bank account at times that matched up with the federal contracts. To date, the Department of Justice has not charged either man with a crime. Ganiam Ltd. is owned by Maina Gakure, whom Zahui has known for decades. Both worked at the Department of Veterans Affairs in San Diego and later moved to Fairfax, Virginia. Gakure had been in charge of awarding contracts at the VA, then created his own company designed to get government construction contracts by taking advantage of a minority preference program. It was called Ganiam LLC and was based out of a house in Virginia. Gakure similarly created a company based in Kenya called Gakure Ltd. The African Development Foundation is permitted by law to give grants only to African entities. In January 2024, inspector general agents interviewed Zahui about the Ganiam contracts, and he acknowledged having known Gakure personally since 1999, and having been to his apartment. He "could not explain why the contract with Ganiam was sole-sourced instead of being competitively bid," the agents wrote. Zahui was named chief financial officer of the federal agency after he declared bankruptcy and had his house foreclosed on. He acknowledged to investigators that the travel contract was executed after COVID had already shut down travel. He told them the contract was actually used for IT services, but since Ganiam had no expertise in IT, it subcontracted it to a different company. A Department of the Treasury contracting official told the agents that was not allowed. Read the whole thing.

If you just watch the first movie, its about space ships and guns and tech, with a few old religious types with a crazy belief system in the force. Darth is mocked and subordinate in the power structure. Then because everyone thought he was so cool and loved the light sabers, it became all about Jedi and Sith. Its also hilarious seeing how Darth Vader went from a huge imposing figure who moves slowly and doesn't fight all that well to a mobile killling machine who can use telekinesis to throw things out of orbit.

There is absolutely no sexual abuse of children going on this country, and if there is, it's a perfectly valid expression of Regime Protected Group's (RPG's) Sexual Identities and Cultural Preferences. And maybe it's also a valid sexual expression of the American Deep State Bureaucracy, too. So shut up, Bigots, and let the repulsive perverts enslave the children as sex prisoners. Attorney General Pam Bondi said the FBI is reviewing "tens of thousands of videos of [Jeffrey] Epstein with children or child porn" and there are "hundreds of victims" as she addressed concerns about the delay to the full release of the case files. "The FBI is diligently going through that," Bondi told reporters on Wednesday morning, and the volume of evidence explained why more files had not been released so far. ... Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, had said he feared key Epstein documents would have been shredded before the Trump Administration took office. "The president ordered them released, the attorney general ordered them released, we all know they have not been released," Comer told The Benny Show. ... Rep. Comer told The Benny Show: "The concern I've always had about the Epstein files: Was the government involved? Did the government know? Was the government using Epstein and the videos to blackmail the most influential people around the world?" Bondi and Kash Patel announced the arrest of 205 child predators just over the last week. I do not believe these have anything to do with the Epstein tapes. 🚨BREAKING: AG Pam Bondi announces the FBI is diligently going through the Epstein Files: "There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn, and hundreds of victims.

Posted by: We Must Not Allow A Mineshaft gp! ========= If the FBI actually seized videos, then it is a pretty exhaustive review in real time of the victims (to identify them as witnesses for illegality (age for example) and to identify the perpetrators). Dry documents are circumstantial--live witnesses and video are pretty damning in seeking indictments and getting subsequent convictions. That does mean that Trump needs an excellent DA in the SDNY plus LEO support to actually go after these fckers. What is more to the point to me, is that the IC protectors of Epstein get identified, removed from employment, potentially prosecuted, and widely publicized.

Posted by: WitchDoktor at May 07, 2025 01:22 PM (Oq5OE) 64 I am unsure of the Comey comments, hell, I'm unsure about any comments coming out of DC about the Epstein files. It makes no sense that Bondi would say she has the Files on her desk if she didn't. I do understand that the AG would keep the information close to the vest while investigating. If there are hundreds of children involved, that is a whole lot of review to keep their names and faces out of the evidence she will eventually release, and that I would imagine takes time. It would serve no purpose to release anything to the House before the AG and FBI are ready to do so. If that means keeping Comey on pins and needles, so be it. After years of watching Bondi and Patel in public discourse, I still trust them, as much as I trust any political figure or government agent. Which, to be honest, is less than at any time of my gray-haired life. The upside of the investigation, in my view, is that it will have a secondary effect to burn the participants, most of which have supported Democrats in the past. That could help shatter the party, taken over by elitist and outside influence that now aligns with Marx and Mao instead of Madison, Locke, and Jefferson.

I guess some men will stick their dick anywhere, and some really love the feel of abusing others. Don't get me started on the women who enable that garbage. Now, the moron who said that rape is sexual needs to have sexual defined a bit better. Rape is violence, and the power dynamic is all of it.

Answer: The same people that 1) covered up for Epstein for decades, 2) the same people who did all they could to keep avoid any trial (including "suicided") 3) the same people that lied about releasing all the files, 4) the same people that suddenly found more files, so many files that the can't possibly review them all until 2028 at the earliest.

Posted by: Chuck Martel at May 07, 2025 01:43 PM (Dv3i1) 162 Well, it would appear that Catholics aren't the only ones with a pervert problem. 10 years ago, it was known that only Catholic priests raped kids, but the news since that mess was cleaned up is that every walk of life seems to have a pervert problem. Posted by: tcn in AK at May 07, 2025 01:39 PM (a4NoL) What? I get the Catholic bashing here, but I don't think anyone ever thought the Catholic Church had any exclusivity on child molestation. The bigger scandal (inside the Church at least), wasn't so much that there were several dozen priests in the US who, over a 50 year period, molested hundreds or thousands of young boys. The bigger scandal was that the Church treated those priests as sinners who needed to atone, not as criminals who needed to be turned in to the police. In other words, the Church handled it internally when they clearly shouldn't have. But public school teachers molest way more children in a given year than Catholic priests ever did. Any profession that allows adults alone time with young children is always going to draw in a certain element of adults who want to have sex with young children, unfortunately.

Not brought out on a stretcher, uncovered, on a public loading dock with a NY Post reporter hanging around with his camera. --------------------- There's a procedure for everything with an organization of that size in that location and there's not a chance in hell some mook took it on himself to just roll the body out uncovered and thru a public loading doc.

I believe that the most important thing President Trump is doing is deporting damn criminal and regular old illegal aliens. Giving them the boot to El Salvador or the countries they spawned from. The Epstein issue is, for me, is important in identifying key players, such as the Clinton's, and Hollywood pervs who should never walk free again. Bondi has said repeatedly, she will protect the victims first. As far as records being burned, etc, there is the issue of The Cloud if videos were sent to any of these evil perverts. Epstein probably left records in the event he died, or that's the way movies go with plots such as this. As far as him being dead, his ears looked far different in his corpse glamour photos vs in life. Unless hanging stretches out your earlobes and the shape. People setting themselves on fire over this issue should stop screaming about it. I think she knows. I think Patel knows, as well as President Trump. Millions of combat age illegal bastards are in this country, raping, killing, sex trafficking, drugging, and gang banging daily. This is first on the list.

And being in that kind of world, the assumption would be he planned for all kinds of scenarios, including one where one of his marks / Johns or someone else tried to have him killed. And he would likely have some kind of "dead mans switch" to protect against that. But more to the point, intelligence agencies don't usually kill their own agents when they get caught, they usually try to protect them, if only because the OTHER agents out there want to believe they won't be left out in the wind if their own ops blow up somehow, and it's hard to keep people loyal if they think their bosses would have them killed if that was convenient for them.

Both the perpetrators and the enablers should have been arrested, no doubt. Many of them were, and now seminaries screen for perversion, but up until a decade ago, perverts ran the seminaries as well. I know enough priests personally who can attest to living through hell in seminary because they weren't perverts. Not a pretty thing. But it has turned a corner, and if we can get a decent Pope this time who is a Catholic, preferably from Africa, it will have ended for good.

Not the fake stuff. He came to live for it. Now, I got the impression Connelly didn't just make that up, that he'd actually heard that from a real cop, somewhere along the line. Sounds like a horrible way to make a living.

Henderson said Corey likely survived the crash because the incident happened to occur just as the vehicles were approaching the exit for Cedar Hills Boulevard, so when he was pushed off the right side of the freeway, he and the motorcycle kept sliding along the exit ramp until they came to stop. "When motorcycle riders are killed in crashes like this, it's because their body comes to an immediate stop, like they'll hit a jersey barrier. In this case, his didn't," Henderson said. "He took the Cedar Hills Boulevard exit and kind of slowly slides to a stop without contacting anything." Posted by: Huck Follywood at May 07, 2025 02:02 PM (JhljX) 295 Just Epstein.

Posted by: Elric the Bladiest Blade at May 07, 2025 01:56 PM (aeiyZ) lol, no, same sex sex not only clearly violates celibacy vows, but also is an "abomination" in Leviticus. Which, like most of the Old Testament, the Catholic Church mostly treats as a "preamble" and more the story about how bad the Jews fucked up, but they still follow the prohibition on sodomy. The priests knew they were sinning, many even went to confession and confessed their sins. But everyone sins, that's normal. However, the sin of drinking too much and getting drunk is in a much different category than the sin of being a child molester, and the Church didn't seem to really grasp that when it came to Priests. As far as why they didnt have sex with each other? I assume some did / do, but I think the simple answer is they were attracted to teenaged boys, not old men.

Posted by: Faithful Imam Europeans who arrived in Austraiia were horrified to witness that literally every toddler in Aborigine society was routinely raped by his/her father.

And this was one of the main motivations behind attempting to Christianize the natives and to put their children into boarding schools. But this extremely inconvenient fact goes against the modern-day leftist "Noble Savage" theory of "White man bad, brown man good," so the entire nation has been commanded to erase this fact from their minds so they can wallow in maximum white guilt without reality intervening.

There is still a very high factor of sexual abuse in the villages, since for the most part, nobody is watching them.

I've seen it "explained" on Reddit threads but of course it's terrible to any person not blinded by gay propaganda. Posted by: brak at May 07, 2025 02:08 PM (jGJov) Yes. It’s in the memoirs of nearly every gay man. Augusten X. Burroughs was raped by a 27 year old man when he was 13. Of course, it was an act of love and it opened his eyes to his own true, gay self.

Milo Y was originally cancelled for saying he was molested as a teen by an older man and that he, like most gay men, didn't really see that as a bad thing. Posted by: 18-1 at May 07, 2025 02:00 PM (t0Rmr) ——- Gay teens are probably confused and insecure. They probably know what they’re feeling is wrong. Along comes a helpful older gay to selflessly help with this situation … Even straight boys have a bit of a confused period as their bodies are changing and their thinking about girls suddenly goes from ‘they are so icky” to ‘hmmm … maybe I kinda like them.” I’ll admit it was a bit confusing to me. My first real kiss (in 6th grade) went from “I really don’t wanna do this” to “maybe this ain’t so bad” to “I kinda like this” in one game of “7 minutes in heaven.” Posted by: Elric the Bladiest Blade at May 07, 2025 02:12 PM (aeiyZ) 359 Thought I read here Father Guido Sarducci is still alive… Posted by: tubal at May 07, 2025 02:11 PM (PCK5/) They guy my dad bought my first car from sounded EXACTLY like that guy.

I've seen it "explained" on Reddit threads but of course it's terrible to any person not blinded by gay propaganda. Posted by: brak The book "Gay 13" celebrates this rite of passage with dozens of memoirs and autobiographical stories about how it happened to the authors whenn they hit puberty, and how great it was. This is the book recommended by Obama's "Safe Schools Czar" to be a nationwide textbook for 7th graders.

Posted by: WitchDoktor at May 07, 2025 02:01 PM (Oq5OE) He'd lost his worth to his handlers. Too much spotlight and they were going to lose the ability to sweep it under the rug. He'd been convicted in Florida and news anchors were going to his welcome back Pedo party. Then Trump came in and he was going to be hard to hide.

If we didn't sincerely believe what we believe, then we... well... wouldn't believe it, would we? Posted by: tcn in AK at May 07, 2025 02:25 PM (a4NoL) 372 Right before Epstien got busted, befor ehardly anyone knew who he was, there were local reports of construction going on on Little St. James. Yet nothing noticable above ground. Theory is he filled in a secret WW2 sub base and that's where a lot of the evidence is. As in bodies. The sub base was how victims were transported and why Maxwell is a licensed sub operator. Oh and nobody ever "flew" to Epstien Island on the Lolita Express. They went by boat, sub or helicopter. Ergo flying on Lolita does not mean visit to island. Also sketchy as fuck is where he originally got his money. The story doesn't hold water. I was really into investment bankers in the 80's (until I learned to hate them) and he came from nowhere. First I saw him was on Lifestyles of the rich and Famous and I was shocked I'd never heard of him. I think he was a dual agent. Mossad and CIA. An almost perfect blackmail trap.

Posted by: Caesar North of the Rubicon at May 07, 2025 03:58 PM (eStot) 375 If the DU excerpt doesn't mention that Trump and Epstein were best friends and that Trump is a convicted rapist, then I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. Posted by: ... at Ivana Trump (Donald's first wife, mother of Ivanka, Don Jr, and Eric) ran around with Ghislane Maxwell in the 1980's in NYC. They knew them, of course. As did a lot of other people. Donald threw Epstein out of Mar-El Lago years ago, because he was hitting on some young women there. When a DA in Florida was investigating Epstein prior to 2010, Donald was one of the few people to come out and tell him to ask him anything he wanted to know about Epstein. In the movie "Eyes Wide Shut" (made in 1997), there is a scene at the Xmas party at the start of the movie, when "doubles" for Epstein and Maxwell, walk across the room in the background. My wife and I rewatched it last year, looking for that. It kind of sends chills down your back, when you see it. Posted by: A face in the crowd.... at May 07, 2025 04:16 PM (vcOmj) 376 It's also possible CIA was using Mossad or MI6 as a cut out for this Op, since they technically can't operate on US soil. Posted by: Harry Paratestes Les Wexner, infamous Ohio Billionaire (now in his 90's) knew Epstein well. There is an interview from a few years ago where Wexner and Abigail (his wife) claimed they had "no idea!" what Jeffrey was up to. The "Lolita Express" had formerly been the Limited's corporate plane. There were a lot of financial "deals" between Wexner and Epstein. Epstein stayed at his estate (just a few miles from where I live) frequently. My theory is that Wexner was Mossad, and he was running Epstein as an agent. Which does not preclude he was also working for MI6 and CIA. Posted by: A face in the crowd.... at May 07, 2025 04:21 PM (vcOmj) 377 Wasn't Epstein's island in the USVI? What's the age of consent there? Posted by: Bulg Little Saint James is just across the bay from St Thomas (USVI). We were down at St. Thomas last year, and the lady who owned the Bed and Breakfast we stayed at told us the USVI governor's wife was Epstein's secretary. And USVI has the same laws as the US. And the Bidens have land on the island right next to it. Funny stuff, huh? Posted by: A face in the crowd.... at May 07, 2025 04:24 PM (vcOmj) 378 I'm wondering if these are videos from the ranch in New Mexico. There were no children at the Epstein Island location, as far as I am aware. If you want to call sex with 16 year old child porn, then I could believe it. But the stories I've heard about the ranch are evil beyond belief. Which is why I chose not to believe it. I remember a news story though, right on TV, where an employee (maybe?) mentioned the ranch, saying something along the lines of why aren't they looking at the ranch, or this nothing compared to the rumors about the ranch, or some such. Posted by: Tammy al-Thor at May 07, 2025 04:30 PM (Vvh2V) 379 And Soothssyer, not sure if anyone mentioned this already, but Ghislaine Maxwell is the daughter of a very well known British man, up to his neck in all sorts of intrigue. Alleged CIA and IDF connections.
