Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Saturday Evening Movie Thread 09/07/2024 [TheJamesMadison]Orson Welles ![]() As a fan of the cinematic work of Orson Welles, I find myself in a certain precarious spot. There's been a brewing backlash against Welles, mostly centered around his most famous film, Citizen Kane, for more than fifty years. In 1962, it was the first time that the BFI Sight & Sound poll had listed Welles' freshman effort as the greatest film ever made. It held that distinction every decade through 2002 until the poll in 2012 when it was supplanted by Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo. For fifty years, the BFI, critics, and Welles' biggest, most vocal fans like Peter Bogdanovich heralded Citizen Kane as the accomplishment in cinema. Heck, here's William Friedkin talking about how his only film school was sitting in a theater and watching the film 8 times through in one sitting. That's a set up for expectations gamery and overall backlash against critics. Welles' biggest enemy has turned out to be his biggest fans. They have propped him up to such a degree that no film could ever match the expectations set before it. The general resistance to critical opinion that has developed slowly but steadily for the past several decades (just ask horror fans how critics have treated their favorite genre since the 70s), and you've got a recipe for, "The critics like it? Well, then I hate it." And I think that's deeply unfair to Welles and his work. I come into this discussion and run through his films already a fan, having seen everything at least once before, and I know that I'm going to be hitting this resistance. So, in order to try and bridge the divide, I have to think about how I'm going to talk about Welles and his work, and I have come to this conclusion: I must resist hyperbole. I cannot speak in language that waxes poetic about how great and beautiful everything is. That will be designed to turn off people who are predisposed to resisting him just based on the metatextual fog that has surrounded him. And I do that for one reason: I think Welles' movies are fun. They aren't art house cinema. They're not Tarkovsky or Bresson. They're closer to Hitchcock than anything else in more ways than one. It's just that Hitchcock understood mass appeal a whole lot better than Welles did. Three Elements ![]() Having gone through everything again, I came away from Welles work with three main elements that made him entertaining to watch. The first is his visual sense, the second is his strong command of story, and the third is his overall playfulness. The Visual ![]() This is where discussions by his fans tend to reside, the technical. Roger Ebert's very good audio commentary on the Citizen Kane home video release is almost all about how the tricks were done, how they were unique for the time, and why that's important. I mean, that's great and all, but if someone is watching these things and doesn't care about any of that, what does that matter? Well, I'm of the opinion that a film's visuals are and important part to the package, and a beautiful looking film is nothing to sneeze at. And all of Welles' films are simply very good from a visual perspective. I'll bypass the examples from Kane and focus on later films. His main mode of using the camera was the long-take. He was very proud of one in particular from Macbeth that lasts almost an entire reel (more than ten minutes). What's interesting about it is twofold. Firstly, the only film that Welles storyboarded, preplanned visually, was Kane, something he had to do in order to get the studio to sign off on his unprecedented creative freedom (that they later regretted because of the feud with William Randolph Hearst). On every other film, he's light the set, and then he'd figure out where to place his actors. When you imagine a more than ten minute long shot in a Shakespear adaptation, the immediate thought to come to mind would be something static as people strut and fret from one side of the stage to the next, especially in the days before the invention of the Steadicam. Dollys were heavy, loud, and difficult to use, and Welles glides his camera back and forth on one for more than ten minutes, each stop of the camera putting his actors in new compositions with their surroundings, the exterior set of Dunsinane Castle. His own personal favorite of all his efforts at long takes was in The Magnificent Ambersons, his second film, but it's hard to see that now since the studio cut up the film. There are these long takes with those roving cameras on dollies, and it's all done in this ornate house set with everyone dressed in these heavy, period clothes. His heart was in bringing the theater to the screen any way he could, and what was amazing was how cinematic he made it all. Story ![]() When Welles was working on Man in the Shadow as an actor, he was impressed with the writing by Albert Zugsmith, telling him that he wanted to direct one of his scripts. When Zugsmith showed him a pile, Welles asked for the worst one and two weeks to rewrite it himself, leading to the writer handing over his script of the adaptation of Whit Masterson's book, Badge of Evil. This, of course, became Touch of Evil, widely considered one of Welles' best films. He took a bad script from a moderately successful novel and turned it into this seedy noir thriller that failed to make any money but has stood the test of time as one of his most beloved films. Why is that? How is that? I was reading the essay about Macbeth in the Olive release, and the author, Jonathan Rosenbaum, made a good observation that Welles was a certain combination of low-brow and high-brow, a combination that clashed with the more strictly middle-brow tastes of the era. His essay was, obviously, focusing on the Shakespeare adaptation, namely the high-brow source of Shakespeare (while noting it's previously low-brow status) against the rugged, primal setting that Welles had put it in. Touch of Evil is, I think, a prime example of that. His style is both deeply established in cinematic tradition, especially those stemming from German Expressionism, while also being almost extreme in effect, with these tortured angles on almost every shot. At the same time, the story itself is this combination of extremely seedy with implied rape, drugs, and murder all while there's this very-well drawn portrait of two men at it's center, Captain Quinlin and Vargas, who represents two sides of the same lawful coin. The story itself is this twisting series of events as Quinlan finds his man responsible for the bombing that starts the film, plants evidence, and then has to cover his tracks as Vargas zeroes in on him. There is the inclusion of a Mexican crime boss who gets caught between the two, Vargas' wife who becomes a pawn, and even Marlena Dietrich in a largely excisable role as someone from Quinlin's past. The plot itself is twisty, but ultimately, at the film's core, it's a story of a man, and Welles never loses sight of that, grounding the audience in this seedy portrait of border-life with a great character while also giving us a character to root for in Vargas. Released maybe 10 years later, this could have been a hit at the box office. Released in the late 50s, no studio was really ready for it, and the audience wouldn't accept it. He released the right movie at the wrong time (never mind the fight with the studio over final cut). Playfulness ![]() This is where I have to bring in Hitchcock again. The combination of Welles' experimental edge and the fact that he always felt like a big kid in a box of toys while I watched his films reminded me of no one more than Alfred Hitchcock. That ten minute long shot in Macbeth that includes dollying back and forth to keep actors in frame? Does it sound similar to Hitchcock's Rope? Well, Welles did it first. Macbeth came out in 1948, and Under Capricorn, the stylistic predecessor to Rope from Hitchcock, came out in 1949. This isn't an effort on my part to place Welles above Hitchcock in any way (I don't value originality in artists, all that much), but just to demonstrate that Welles and Hitchcock were experimenting in similar veins. As an aside, I think the dual tracks of experimentation in long-takes were simply coincidental since Welles was doing very long takes in The Magnificent Ambersons and Hitchcock had been doing similar things since he'd gotten over the growing pains of the sound era with movies like Murder!. Another thing is the pair's efforts at playing the audience. The odd combination of low-brow and high-brow that marked Welles' work played less well with mass audiences than Hitchcock's understanding of time and place that kept things like murder clean in North by Northwest, but Welles' command of tension and suspense was no less accomplished than the Master of Suspense. The final reel of Othello is some of the tensest film I've seen as the titular Moor looms over his innocent wife in deep, dark shadows, all perfectly framed and executed through the edit in a manner that Hitchcock himself, I would not be surprised to find, would admire. But it's not just tension. Something like The Lady from Shanghai ends with that famous sequence in the funhouse (that the studio forced him to cut to the bone) with mirrors multiplying characters as they face off in the finale of the noir's ghoulish premise. Chimes at Midnight combines five different Shakespeare plays (mostly just two, Henry IV in its two parts) into one film centered around his favorite character of Falstaff, mostly played with this light and infectious tone that just feels fun to me (it goes appropriately heavy in the final act as Falstaff meets his own tragic end, falling out of favor of the newly crowned Henry V). He made three noirs, all of which are quite good as well, and those are just playgrounds for tense playfulness. His Shakespeare adaptations are freewheeling affairs. He loved to experiment. He was just fun. Reputation ![]() There's a great moment in Filming The Trial, an 80-minute long Q&A that Welles had imagined to become something else, when he's asked by a student from a film program in Southern California a question. These students are significantly snootier than Welles ever is, and the low point is when one of them asks him if he's frustrated that all of this "escapism" (the thing was filmed in the early 80s, so he's obviously referring to Star Wars) has supplanted "real" art at the cinemas. Welles, as was his wont, cuts the kid off with perhaps a couple of words left in the question and announces, "I love escapism," before explaining how one of his earliest creative jobs was to write nonsense science fiction (Spider Women from Mars, he says), and that he's always enjoyed it. This kid, while Welles was alive, was convinced that Welles was this snooty artiste who looked down on popular entertainment. Why would he think that? Because his films were never popular, and because his fans were all kind of snooty. Welles ended up being forced to deal with this perception of himself, and all he wanted to do was entertain. He was somewhat particular in terms of subjects that he chose (Shakespeare is almost never box office gold), and he was always being sideswiped by timing (The Magnificent Ambersons finishing just before Pearl Harbor was something like a death sentence for his vision of the film), but he was really just trying to entertain. He wanted to find ways to engage audiences with what resources he had, but what's interesting is that it never feels like he's chasing a trend. He was always his own man in the face of all the adversities he faced professionally, and that just did not jive well with a studio system that really needed studio-men. The studios could tolerate individual talents with large egos if they brought in money (Wyler and Hitchcock are key examples), but Welles just couldn't connect with audiences the right way at the right time. Legacy ![]() And that leaves his legacy, largely formed by his own fans who hold him in such esteem that they end up repelling as many people as they attract. When Peter Bogdanovich, in his ascot and quasi-Connecticut accent, tells you that Welles is the greatest filmmaker ever, many people will just hear the messenger and not the message. When William Friedkin says that Citizen Kane changed his life, people are left wondering why the film didn't change theirs. And I find myself caught in the middle, frustrated with everyone because his advocates are doing it wrong while those unfamiliar with his work are simply tuning him out because of something that's not his actual work. One thinks that Citizen Kane is the most overrated movie ever? That tells me nothing. You could still think it's great, just not, you know, Predator great. Which is fine, but the conversation isn't about the movie, it's about expectation. I just want to talk about the movie, and Welles' fans make it almost impossible to do that. So, if I were to recommend the discovery of Welles, I'd suggest this: Start with his noirs. Start with Touch of Evil, The Stranger, and The Lady from Shanghai. These are the most generally entertaining films he made. They hit the most mass-appeal touchpoints, especially a few decades after their release, compared to the others. Then, having gotten through and, hopefully, enjoying those, go with his Shakespeare adaptations: Macbeth, Othello, and Chimes at Midnight. That's more than half of his filmography right there. Having enjoyed those, then you delve deeper and finally discover Citizen Kane alongside The Magnificent Ambersons, The Trial, and even F for Fake, his quasi-documentary/magic trick. If you want to go further, you can always then go into his unfinished work like Mr. Arkadin and The Other Side of the Wind, leaving The Immortal Story (the closest he came to making an Ingmar Bergman movie) for last. I hope I can convince at least one person to discover and enjoy his work.

Posted by: Skip at September 07, 2024 07:45 PM (fwDg9) Hobby Thread - Sept 7, 2024 [TRex]![]() Welcome hobbyists! Pull up a chair and sit a spell with the horde in this little corner of the interweb. A spin of the Ace of Spades wheel of hobbies has come up with a theme of collecting for this week. What do you collect? Is it wierd or unusual? How did you get started collecting your items of choice? Do you collect thinking that your treasures will increase in value or are economics irrelevant? Do you display your collection or pieces from your collection or are you content with owning the items? If you display, how do you display? Have you build custom shelving or displays? Does part of your collection reside in boxes, mostly unseen by human eyes? Do you track what you collect? Have you found a marvelous treasure only to find out later you already had one and forgot about it? Do you buy in-person, on-line or both? Do you haunt auctions, garage sales, estate sales, etc.? Do you ever sell or trade or do you only acquire? Do you have a tradition of picking up a souvenir from every place you travel? Have you made plans for what will happen with your collectibles after you have breathed your last? Do you share your collection with others or is your collection a solo endeavor? Do you collect toys or legos? Do you collect decorations for a particular holiday? What collections have you seen assembled by others that were memorable, inspired respect, or were head-shakingly puzzling? What did you collect as a child? Do you still have a stash somewhere of a childhood collection? Did it stick with you or did the idea pass as you moved on to other things? Do you collect things that nobody else would value or care about? ![]() TRex is detailed for duty elsewhere at an undisclosed location, so looking for horde help to make this work and honor hobby thread etiquette. Ben Had is authorized to maintain order and make entries on permanent records as needed. We're here to talk about collections and collectors. We are looking for passion projects of individuals rather than museums that have accumulated holdings over decades. Collections don't need to be rare or valuable - just important to the collector. We are looking for purposeful collecting - as opposed to hoarding or accumulating stuff. Maybe collections of the horde can become the themes of future hobby threads. Please keep the collections of discussion tasteful - no body parts or human souls. (Sorry Zod.) While firearms and ammo might qualify as collectibles, let's leave gubs to the Sunday evening thread and find other interests for this thread. As usual, keep this thread limited to hobbies. Politics and current events can wait for other threads. Play nice. Do not be a troll and do not feed the trolls. Pants not required. Whenever I show my collection off to someone. ![]() 36 Unusual collections - monolopoly games, plastic ducks, air sickness bags, golf balls, pez dispensers, traffic cones, garden gnomes, Coca Cola cans, dinosaur poop, milk bottles, bricks, toasters, cookie jars, pizza boxes, and more.

That may be an overstatement, but there is no question that he diligently assembled a massive collection of early American autographs. We was a well-known Presbyterian pastor but history likely will remember him for being the first to assemble a full set of autographs by each of the 56 Signers of the Declaration of Independence (the first of three) and a full set of autographs by each of Washington’s generals. He built a massive collection. Nana Baubles: Jay Leno does not typically open his garage for tours, but this walk around with Tim Burton gives brief sense of what is inside Jays Big Dog Garage. Some of my favorites are in the room with cars powered by airplane engines (minutes five through eight). There is a lot more there and Jay knows a LOT about the engineering, design and history of his cars and bikes. He has never sold a thing. The largest private collection of tubas - in the world: Seven Keys Lodge in Estes, Colorado features a collection of keys. The book - Seven Keys to Baldpate - was written in 1913 and inspired the name of the inn which was first the Baldpate Inn before becoming Seven Keys Lodge. The hotel had a tradition to give a single metal key as a memento of their stay to each person, saying that it was the One and only key to Baldpate. During World War I, the price of metal increased which caused a reconsideration of the tradition. Lore has it that Clarence Darrow suggested that the hotel should see if guests would be willing to leave a key instead. He left the first key and now thousands of keys hang from the ceiling. ![]() Keys of distinction have found their way. Notable keys are purportedly from Westminster Abbey, Mozarts wine cellar, Frankensteins Castle, Adolf Hitlers bunker, the Pentagon, a White House bathroom, keys to robbed banks, and the dressing rooms of Hollywood actors.

I collect video games, and it's mostly stuff I've accumulated over the years since I first started playing them as a kid in the mid-80s. It starts with the Nintendo Entertainment System and goes all the way up to modern-day stuff, although the XBOX Series X is probably going to be the last console I ever buy unless Nintendo knocks it out of the park with the Switch 2.
I could have made a mint selling off my collection during the pandemic since video games were one of the few areas that did really well, what with going outside being made illegal and all. I started trying to value everything for a side project I'm working on (pricecharting.com is the go-to although it has its flaws since it's based on eBay sales) and was honestly shocked at how much it was worth in total. I'm not in this hobby to make money, though. I regularly play with them daily. The thing is I could probably cash out and be fine since there are currently lots of ways to actually play the games even without the hardware. It's getting harder every day though thanks to Nintendo going nuts cracking down on ROM sites. Posted by: MrUNIVAC at September 07, 2024 05:38 PM (digQz) 9
I have dolls; I stop collecting them about 35 years ago, but there are still too many. My favorite-a foot high of so Queen Elizabeth I doll with a lovely porcelain head and hand made black silk looking outfit with little stitched on (fake) pearls and embroidered sleeves. Oldest one is from the 1700's-a think it's a figure of Mary (Our Lady of Sorrows) because it's on a pedestal. Next oldest ones are from the 1840's (upside down dolls) from my Great Grandmother You turn it on one side and you have one doll-turn it upside down and it's another doll.. They are probably considered politically incorrect because two of the dolls are obviously black Servants.

5 I did my annual portable deployment last Saturday. FT-891, 30W, running off the car battery with a hamstick antenna on top. Logged two new stations each in Chile, Argentina and Cuba, plus a Mexico. The drill gives me a little more confidence in my ecomms preparedness. But I much prefer running my base station, so I do the portable thing only once or twice a year. I think this month is ARRL's 'gobox' month.

Afternoon, hobby folken,
None of my collecting has been jaw-dropping in its rarity or comprehensivness. My major thing for decades has been Man From U.N.C.L.E. memorabilia. I have all 23 of the Ace original novels, all but one or two of the digest-sizes magazines, a replica U.N.C.L.E. Special (the famous gun that converted to a carbine), an incomplete pack of the bubble-gum cards, magazines galore including the TV Guides with the early article on written by Peter Bogdanovich and the parody by Ronald Searle; etc. I even have, partly painted but unassembled, the Aurora model kits of Solo and Illya.

Two mini-collecting hobbies of usable items: vintage and modern tobacco pipes, and vintage and modern safety razors. My oldest pipe, a Dr. Grabow, dates (probably) to the 1930s, as does my oldest razor, a Gillette NEW open-comb, both well-refurbished by their sellers. And I use items from both groups; they are not just display queens.
I even have a birth year razor, a Gillette Super Speed, the "butterfly" type where you twist the bottom of the handle and the doors crank open so you can change the blade. If I ever run across a pipe from my birth year, like a Dunhill ($$$), I'll consider grabbing it. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 07, 2024 05:47 PM (omVj0) 19

I was crestfallen when Jamie reveled that he and Adam were not friends and in fact did not get along for most of mythbusters run. In fact he revealed that in the decades they worked together they never had dinner together outside of some function for the show.
Oh well, I took possession of a 3d printer and am now in the process of learning the ins and outs of it. Posted by: Thomas Bender at September 07, 2024 05:50 PM (XV/Pl) 21
"I still haven't settled on an antenna for the new QTH."
I have two EFHWs, a 10-40 and a 10-80, and an indoor 6m dipole. 50W and just wires in trees work wonders for me. "Eventually I'll just have to put up SOMETHING and worry about improving upon it later." That's what I like to hear!

Sunday evening the MeTV channel has a show called "Collector's Call" that's all about (of course) collections. The one this Sunday just happens to be about my old friend (and now big-time VA) Wally Wingert and his collection of props and costumes. Whatever you like, there's probably a collection out there that will eventually show up on this show. They just announced that they've been renewed for next year.
And if you have a good enough collection, maybe you can be on it. Posted by: KCSteve at September 07, 2024 05:52 PM (bxAlI) 25
I have a collection of women's homemaking magazines and books that has ebbed and flowed over the years. It is entirely for my own enjoyment.
I am fascinated by the things in them that change and those that remain the same- fashions in food, home decor, gardens. Innovations and improvements in home building, appliances and home goods. National and even international issues- my 1918 Good Housekeeping has an article on "What is Bolshevism?" Now that I am rather vintage myself, I am looking for some issues that I recall reading myself back in the '60s and 70s. Posted by: sal at September 07, 2024 05:53 PM (bx3Km) 26
I suppose in my model-building days I was collecting them. I went through various phases: snap-together Birds of the World and Animals of the World; then the Aurora Universal monster kits; then cars and custom cars; ships, first WWII subs and surface vessels, then sailing ship kits like Drake's Golden Hind and the HMS Bounty; and finally a couple of tanks, a WWII German King Tiger and a modern West German Leopard.
If I had them all today, and they were intact, they would probably fill a room like the Collector's Corner TV series with Lisa Whelchel. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 07, 2024 05:54 PM (omVj0) 27

Flipside of collecting is hoarding. I've been helping a guy out in the sticks clean up his property. Man oh man, it's hard to convince him to let go of worthless stuff. The frustration is more exhausting to me than the physical labor is.

Werner wishes to inquire regarding the absence of stamp collecting. Of course, it may be included somewhere above and my aged eyes just missed it. (Werner turned 82 two days ago.) Well do I remember the European nations, many postage -sized themselves, whose issuance of striking commemorative stamps was a major part of their economy. San Marino, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Andorra, the Vatican, Navarre, Cleveland, all of these were noted during the twentieth century and...wait, one of those may not have been a European nation. Werner is puzzled as to which this might be. This is a mystery that may elude us. Werner digs the postage stamps. Andorra, maybe, was the odd man out? Such things are beyond Werner at this time. Ach.

When I was in grade school, a company named Hartland produced two lines of Western TV figures, mounted ones with horse and saddle, and the "Gunfighters" series with the standing figure. Usually the hat and gun were detachable. There was even a Bat Masterson figure with his cane! I had a slew of them, and some had chipped paint here and there from play, but were intact.
My mother kept them and stashed them in a cabinet. I found them when I was cleaning out her apartment after she passed . . . and, in an emotional storm from that and my impending divorce, I left them behind. I wonder if the owners found them, or if any succeeding tenant did. They go for nice money on eBay now. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 07, 2024 06:06 PM (omVj0) 49

Rufus - amateur radio is like most hobbies; it's as expensive as you'd like it to be. For reliable emergency comms, you could probably spend $1k and be in decent shape. But I think people oversell ham radio for emcomm, because it's not like if SHTF you'll just dial up a frequency and call the cavalry. It's part of the puzzle, but is not agic solution.

I don't have any collections per se. I have my dad's old coin collection, but it hasn't been taken care of.
The best give I ever gave my late father, who had an extensive stamp collection, was the stamps that I gathered when I was working the Iowa State University's Library mail room. I think he was tickled that someone would spend all year gathering stamps for him. Many's the night he would sit in front of the television, making custom-sized window envelopes for his collection out of IBM punch cards and business-sized window envelopes he'd gotten in the mail.

Posted by: OrangeEnt This is not exactly kind, but perhaps not ill-intentioned. For the record, Werner hates Nazis as much, if not more than the dashing archaeologist Professor Henry Jones, Junior. In the interest of accuracy, I provide the name he received at birth. They named the dog Indiana, as Sean Connery made clear beyond all doubt. Werner still does not understand how Indy was able to board the Untersee Boot in the original. Also, the inclusion of Shia LaBouef in the fourth film is most confusing. Someone had to sign off on this, and their judgment was not entirely sound. Posted by: Werner Herzog Has Opinions at September 07, 2024 06:18 PM (tcQGp) 61

Although I accumulate a lot of things like books or art supplies, there are only two areas that could be considered collecting: manual typewriters and tobacco pipes. Neither is based on rarity but on personal preference. For typewriters that means how they feel when typing. Different machines have different feels: snappy or soft response, reliable spacing, and effective indenting. My two favorites are an Olympia SM3/4 (mid-50s) for a portable and a Royal KMM (from 1939) for a standard. Neither is rare. The others I have reflect those qualities to some degree.
My pipes are chosen by the draw, how they feel in the hand and in the mouth and if the shape is interesting. For all their popularity, I'm not a fan of Peterson System pipes. But I've put together a nice selection of Nording freehand pipes. Also, I have several models of the MacQueen churchwarden pipes. Partly for their smoking qualities and partly for the LOTR inspiration. behind them. Posted by: JTB at September 07, 2024 06:39 PM (zudum) 93

If a pipe is an unusual or defunct brand, or goes back to a decade when pipe smoking was a normal thing, then I'll consider it. One, a Butz-Choquin Dublin, I bought on (I think) eBay. It is so nicely shaped and finished I haven't even smoked it. It seems a shame to bring a match anywhere near such a pretty wood sculpture. Maybe I'll smoke it for Christmas.

I've collected books since I was a teenager. It all started when the Old Man gave me a copy of Charles Grant's The War Game. Of course that propelled me to collect miniature soldiers. The books are on display but the wargame figures are in boxes.
While I usually limit myself to spending $20-$30 for a book nowadays, I have spent a couple hundred for a few rarities. Maybe one of the best scores I ever found was a rather battered 1st edition copy of one of Louis L'Amour's first novels with an almost perfect dust jacket still preserved in an old library cellophane cover. I paid about $5 and the book goes for big money. Posted by: Retired Buckeye Cop is now an engineer at September 07, 2024 06:44 PM (pJWtt) 97

Just checked in and guess what? I actually have something to talk about. I collect small boxes. It started when my boyfriend(who later became husband) gave me an antique box shaped like a cottage. Then a Russian lacquer box. I started buying little boxes as souvenirs when we traveled. Some are shaped like animals and only a couple are valuable but they all have sentimental value. I use them to hold jewelry or shells.
I just bought my granddaughters little glass boxes after they admired my collection. Now they have a place for their precious memories. Posted by: Sharon(willow's apprentice) at September 07, 2024 06:45 PM (t/2Uw) 99

92 Back in the 70s, before dot-matrix printers, I used teletypes with my home computers. Old model 15s and a 26(? I think.) Shook the whole house when operating. (Army manual said each model 15 came with an 8lb sledge hammer for emergency destruction purposes, but I didn't get the hammer.) I had a Flexowriter too, but never got around to interfacing it. After the Epson MX-80 came out, I got rid of em.

I wonder if a 3D printer could be made to produce six- or eight-inch tall figures of Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin. In the Sixties Marx had plastic figurines, molded all in one color, about four or five inches high -- and they looked *good*. I've seen 'em on eBay and need to purchase one of each. The faces actually resembled Vaughn's and McCallum's

All of this comes from buying broken stuff off of fleaBay, craigslist, and shopgoodwill, plus the occasional donated broken radio.

I have a collection of some JD tractors. Nothing like the guy in the above video. Ertl made most of them. There are different levels of collector quality, from play with them if you got them to pretty expensive models. Ertl made a special collector quality tractor or piece of equipment once a year. I have a couple of those. They were a gift. I got interested because as a kid someone gave me a JD B, a 2 bottom plow and a manure spreader. I still have them.

For typewriters that means how they feel when typing. Different machines have different feels: snappy or soft response, reliable spacing, and effective indenting. My two favorites are an Olympia SM3/4 (mid-50s) for a portable and a Royal KMM (from 1939) for a standard. Neither is rare. The others I have reflect those qualities to some degree.

When I was doing Heating and Air installs in new construction I got to know the scrapper guy. I asked him what he was doing with the wood and he was taking it to the dump. So my cousin and I started throwing all the good stuff into the next garage down the way and in about 6 months we had enough to frame and side a whole house.
My shed is built with that scrap and my cousin did a sun room from it. Contractor caught us and was impressed with what we had done but from then on he had his guys do it instead. He framed and sided a whole house on the jobsite with what he had. Saved about $30,000 on that one and wrote us both a nice little Christmas bonus check. Had no idea how much was left over from the kit he bought for each house.

141 ... Werner,
Electric typewriters never appealed to me. The buzzing of most models and harsh hammering of the Selectrics was distracting. I know they offered production advantages but that wasn't a factor for me. Fortunately, my college papers (this was long before PCs or even word processors) could be handwritten and if typed perfection was not required, so correction fluid or type overs were accepted. Even my early days in the business world meant handwritten documents given to the ladies in the typing pool. Legible writing and proofing was more important than typing speed.

Had to replace part of an Eve a couple years back, and had to cut down a much larger piece of wood to make it fit (as modern lumber just aint even close to the size it says it is). New piece is no where near the strength of that old wood. Posted by: Romeo13 at September 07, 2024 07:20 PM (xaFKb) 176

Dad collected coffee cups, he lined the tops of the cabinets with them. must have been fifty linear feet of coffee cups.
Some I donated, some I tossed because they were chipped, some I sold in a garage sale, some I boxed up and took down to the local restaurant that does a buffet because they like to use odd mugs. I figure in a year or so I will take another box of them down because mugs break all the time. who knows I might start going down on saturdays again and sneak one or two in each time.

I think technically I collect books. I've got a bunch of surveying manual and how to build infrastructure manuals and gardening books and an old encyclopedia set and a whole bunch of others.
I tell people (if they ask) that I collect fans - folding fans or those chinese membrane fans, doesn't really matter. It makes an easy souvenir for them to pick up if they travel somewhere and want to get me something. My dad collected packs of cards for a similar reason. I don't display them, because I have no free walls at the moment. Posted by: FeatherBlade at September 07, 2024 07:30 PM (kvrZb) 198

Posted by: Iris at September 07, 2024 07:30 PM (b45op) Most dealers survive on word of mouth, the ones that try to cheat you have a reputation. best take them in for an appraisal. Silver is sort of iffy right now, a lot of it is going for industrial use in electronics, and I am told that coin silver is being bought up now to be used in industry. Gold is high but it will go higher the collectables are kind of an odd duck, but a good coin store will be able to give you an idea of value.

Whatever 'collections' I have are pretty modest. A few first editions by authors that I like might be regarded as such.
I have a few oddments that I have picked up over the years because I found them interesting, none valuable. 'Rare' does not automatically mean 'valuable'. I had a very good friend who passed away recently. He was an engineer's engineer, and spent most of his career with RCA, though the latter part with the Naval Research Laboratory. He had a life-long interest in the technical side of sound recording/reproduction, and a thorough understanding of things, to the molecular level. I could go on and on about his professional achievements, but will cut to the chase. Over the years he acquired a large body of acoustic reproduction equipment, Edison, Victor et al. This was a substantial body of stuff, and not piece of it which wasn't in better operating condition than when it was new. A minor part of the collection was, wait for it... 4000 Edison cylinders. When all of this was auctioned off after his death, his collection single-handedly saturated the market for Edison cylinders.

Thx T.Rex. I collected sports cards as a kid and I still have them . Interesting story. A friend and I with our mothers went to NYC and went to a card show in either 76 or 77. I picked up a series of cards that I didn't know existed from a guy last name of Fritsch. A few years ago I looked them up and holy moly. What I bought was the 1972 Topps NFL third series. They were sold only around Chicago and Milwaukee in the fall of 72 . By then most people had stopped buying football cards because they had gotten there sets. Topps took back the packs from stores and burned them. However they had a few pallets of packs left and sold them to Frisch. It was a test series because vfor twelve years Topps had put out two series and the next year was going to 528 cards. That third series is now worth $10-20000. Pretty cool

1950's construction techniques are a world away from the crap they throw up now.
There is so much pride in a job well done that it shines through. I collect old trade manuals and books on many forgotten subjects. I have wood shop books that walk a student through every step from leveling and squareing to roofing with shake shingles. Lath and plaster to grooving hard wood flooring by hand.

Posted by: Florida Peasant at September 07, 2024 07:46 PM (Lo97M) Ace of Spades Pet Thread, September 7![]() A sneaky cat burglar has been tormenting a town by stealing dozens of clothes from unsuspecting homeowners. Taboo, a 12-year-old black and white moggie, has nicked gloves, socks, underpants and shoes from properties across Otley, West Yorkshire. Her owner, Sandra Danskin, 62, has now been forced to share regular pictures of the items on social media so residents can collect them. 'This morning I had four pairs of socks and a pair of underpants. She loves bringing back items of clothing like that, but also we've had a mop head and kitchen rolls. 'We even had half a dozen eggs once, still in their box, but all broken. . . She also said the moggie is quite fastidious and brings back a 'full set' of anything she managed to find. Sandra said: 'If she brings back a sock she will always go back and get the matching one so there's a pair.Courtesy Grateful Love is the only explanation I can think of. ![]() Two women were out for a Saturday stroll. One had a Doberman and the other, a Chihuahua. As they walked down the street, the one with the Doberman said to her friend, "Let's go over to that bar for a drink." The lady with the Chihuahua said, "We can't go in there. We've got dogs with us." The one with the Doberman said, "Just watch, and do as I do." They walked over to the bar and the one with the Doberman put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk in. The bouncer at the door said, "Sorry, lady, no pets allowed." The woman with the Doberman said, "You don't understand. Courtesy Hrothgar ![]() ![]() Hi all, This is my buddy Huey Lewis, he found me at a shelter 10 years ago.

Thank yous first: I really appreciate what you do to put this thread together - and the gardening thread (and others, but I don’t always keep track of who is doing what.) But thank you. And thank you to Ace, for providing a place for relief from everything else that’s going on. Knowing there are other people who see through the BS helps keep me sane, but sometimes the BS gets to be too much, and that’s when I really appreciate the pet thread. It’s really the only one that I will go back and read from beginning to end, even if I have missed it in real time. Y’all have kindly accepted and posted an earlier photo I sent of Bob the Cat, and of Insom. Sadly, Bob has shuffled off this mortal coil, but it took friends only two months to suck me into taking a kitten that had been dumped in their condo community. And he came with a name, Turd Ferguson, which the ladies at the vet clinic love getting to yell in the waiting room. The reason he was at the vet clinic was to get his manhood altered. I felt kind of bad about it but it needed to be done. This picture is of him in his post surgery stupor when I first brought him home. It’s the only time since I’ve had him that he’s not been a little asshole racing around the house. Well, when he’s not sleeping.So sorry to learn that you have lost Bob. Turd Ferguson is delightful. ![]() Thelma and Louise. But mostly Louise Meet Miss Louise, of the Misses Thelma and Louise, from deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas.

Three years and 17 pounds later, Miss Louise is unbothered, moisturized, happy , in her lane, focused (sort of) and flourishing. S.A wonderful story and a great photo!

Trumpy's doing fine. I'll arrange cat box. Thanks to everyone for input. 264 Ughhh...our neighbours are gone until tomorrow. I've been feeding their outdoor cats. One of them, my favorite, Trumpy, showed up at the porch at 3am. Hadn't seen him in days. But has a horrible limp. Back leg, barely using it. He's been resting in here since 3am. Didn't move until almost 11am. Ate a little, drank a bit. His sister.....and maybe lover, came over....no reaction. I put him out to go pee, and he was limping across the street. Hell no, Grabbed him. Brought him back in the house. He's resting while I have beer. I've never been a cat person before these. As an outdoor cat, will he just pee and crap wherever? I'll try to go with him outside. The neighbour just said out him out, but he's really limping. I'm fine with taking care of dude.

Posted by: Stateless at September 07, 2024 02:23 PM (jvJvP) Posted by: Stateless at September 07, 2024 *** Stateless, if he's an outdoor cat, I guess he'll let you know when he needs to go out. If you are going to keep him indoors while his leg heals, then you'll need a plastic litter box and some litter, and a scoop. You can get them at Walmart or Petco; the box and scoop aren't terribly expensive, and they have scoopable litter now that's $7 for 14 lbs. at WM. Disclaimer: All of my cats have been indoor felines. Miss Linda had one, Annabelle the pure white shorthair, whom she took in after Hurricane katrina. A. was used to going out; when Linda steered her around to the box, she adapted immediately and seemed just as happy.

Ja, the Pet Thread is most festive and joyous. As some of you may know, Werner is well-disposed to the catly race, and delights in their antic japery. I would post a photo of my gray tabby, Commander Star-Sprinkles, but she is not given to favor the capturing of her image in a visual medium. Alas, Werner must yield to that, for all of us who know cats understand that Kitty is not about to do the thing she disdains doing.
Some have asked about The Merry Kitten, the song that Commander Star Sprinkles demands to be sung while she feasts on her dry and wet food, and also when scritches are given. It is an obscure bit of music, and may pre-date even Goethe and Schiller. It begins thusly: Toll, toll, fröhliches Kätzchen Die ganze Welt fürchtet sich davor, etwas zu tun, was gegen deinen Befehl ist. Alle werden sich vor dir verneigen und niederknien, wenn sie wissen, was gut für sie ist. Im Ernst, Leute, bekreuzigt sie nicht, es wird in Tränen enden. Ihr Zorn und ihre Vorliebe für Gewalt übertreffen sogar die von Ayn Rand. Sie wurden gewarnt, dieses Kätzchen ist Gangsta. There are more stanzas, but Werner feels this captures the essence. Danke for this captivating thead. Posted by: Werner Herzog Has Opinions at September 07, 2024 04:04 PM (tcQGp) 26

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at September 07, 2024 *** There's a meme that predates the Internet about how people either choose dogs that resemble them, or they come to resemble their dogs. Anyone who has seen a fat person waddling along with his Corgi or overweight poodle will know what I mean. The same, I guess, could be true of cat people and cats. But cats, except for a few points like fur length and face flatness, don't vary as much as dogs and people do. So you either look like your cat or you don't.

Hi Stateless!
If Trumpy doesn't have any open wounds, you don't need to worry too much. Bit if he's still gimping come Monday, I'd take him to a vet. Please keep him indoors and perhaps ask the neighbors if you can keep him. Sounds like he's nuzzled himself into your heart. Posted by: nurse ratched at September 07, 2024 04:15 PM (qtjaJ) 35

With the colder weather, the cats are rampaging. Even Fanny has been acting a bit crazy. At some point, we'll have to make adjustments for Mr Trouble to sleep inside.

The similarity between the visages of pets and their owners is noted by many. Werner wonders, however, if there may not be a philosophical resemblance as well. Commander Star Sprinkles, my beloved Gray Tabby, seems to be aligned with my views on the meaning of life, death, and small engine repair, among others. She knows of the Austrian Menace, and the reason that all in Europe shun the French, and will brook no dissent on these matters. Were she to speak, she would proclaim her rule and demand that all fall in line. Is this not the feline way? Ach, she demands now her Friskies treats. Werner must comply.

Posted by: KT at September 07, 2024 --- For me, naming a blind male kitten is an obvious choice: "Jorin," a blind kitten from the Chronicles of the Kencyrath by P.C. Hodgell. The main character, Jame, rescues him from being drowned (because he was blind). She develops a psychic bond with him and eventually he learns to see through her eyes.

"a tiny kitten, who grew like a weed into a fourteen-pound shaggy mini-lion."
Very much like my Tom, found on the street attacking bystanders' pants cuffs. When I order him 'NO,' at least he waits until I turn my back to get back into his mischief. Headstrong, with marked intelligence for rebellion. Powerful and athletic. Bullies other cats. He likes to chew certain kinds of plastic films, so I have to keep the trash up high out of his reach. He once emptied a whole wastebasket to get to a piece of cellophane at the bottom. 'NO' does not deter him a bit. Posted by: gp at September 07, 2024 04:48 PM (wNh9V) 69
Milton (Paradise Lost) would be another possibility for a name; he was blind I believe.

Fenlon, thank you for your kind words.

stateless, most cats are fastidious, they will use a litter box or if one is not available, a very secluded place to pee and poop.
Behind the sofa or in a closet are typical. If he pees or craps somewhere else it is a message to you or someone. That means you have to figure out what is wrong and address it. One of the reasons I like to have a tilled garden and wood chips is the cats will use that instead of the litterbox inside. If you want him to stick local when you decide he can go out, you might consider something like that. (When I was a little kid I had a sandbox. Yep, the cat shared it with me. I had a good immune system I guess) Posted by: Kindltot at September 07, 2024 04:50 PM (D7oie) Posted by: Commissar of Plenty and Lysenkoism in Solidarity with the Struggle at September 07, 2024 04:51 PM (8tkni) 74

Last year I came across the seeds and I decided I was going to plant all the seeds that were left in one pot and if I got one great, if not at least I didn't have the seed packet anymore, and the seeds were old. Lo and behold ONE took. It is now over a year old and I finally got some fruit. I will say that the black goji fruit is much better than the regular. I think the regular goji is pretty astringent, but the black is definitely sweeter. I have attached a couple of pictures. It is a pretty thorny bugger as well. My regular goji doesn't have thorns. Wondering if anyone else has a black goji? WeeKreekFarmGirl ![]() ![]()

Number 2 son saw a huge Ocotillo was about to be trashed after it was knocked over by last weeks microburst in a high school parking lot. He asked if he could have it and they said yes. On Tuesday we went with our pickup truck to pick it up. It was at least 16 feet tall. Nope not going in the pickup.
We cut as many 'limbs' (wands?) off as we could fit and though we'd be able to pickup the bare root. That wasn't going to happen the wands exceeded 3" diameter. We spend Wednesday getting them out of the truck, shorting them (really just spreading them in the yard) and knocking off when we noted the temp was 106F. Thursday we dug a long trench against a wire fence, used rooting hormone on the bottom 3-4" and planted about 70 of them in 20ft. We only have 67 left...

Crops starting to slow down here in SE PA. I'm a firm believer in 'meteorological' seasons. So, fall to me arrived on the first of September. The days are shorter, nights are cooler, 90 degree days are a thing of the past. Still have a ton of green tomatoes on vine, cucumbers every other day instead of every day, zucchini just about played out. Had some fun growing lima beans of the bush variety, but not a great yield. Started fresh batch of seeds for lettuce, spinach, and arugula to grow indoors in the coming months. When I purchased the home I live in now I didn't look at any other, it had a southern exposure and lots of glass. Exactly what I wanted for plants, art work and against seasonal affective disorder (SAD) which makes me sad. Posted by: Divide by Zero at September 07, 2024 02:15 PM (RKVpM) 16

If anybody has read the novelette I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison, the way that AM describes his hatred for his human creators is a good paraphrase of how much I hate Canada Thistle.
I have had its spines instantly poke through thick leather. And then after having some luck with chemical gloves, I tried to pull down a 7-footer that had gotten away from me and the needle went just as effortlessly through my thick poly gloves. The only way you can handle this plant without getting stung seems to be my loppers, dug in about a quarter of an inch. And then you take a spade to get to the roots. I do blame Canada.

Oh yeah, hoping new compost bin (80 gallon) will up crop yields next year. I have a huge supply of leaves I collect every fall to cover almost daily household scraps. Outside fire pit for ash/minerals, 'scum pond' produces a lot of algae, and grass clippings I either bag or scrape from bottom of mowers. It's almost 90% full now but settles some everyday so no danger of running out of room. Looking forward to steam rising from it this winter. Yeah, I'm easily entertained by this planet.

Posted by: Skip at September 07, 2024 02:22 PM We have half a dozen plastic crates (think old fashion milk bottle crates) that we use for shopping at Aldi's and transporting food home. My wife uses them to cover 'her' cucumbers every night in a very exposed part of our garden. She tucks all the leaves in about four o'clock every afternoon. Otherwise the deer would eat them every single night. On a cost/benefit analysis probably a win in the long run, since the environmental people claim plastic will last for 15,000 years or so.

We didn't plant much this year because we knew that we were going to be gone for much of the growing season (road trip!!!), but had a packet of corn seeds, so just threw them all in a little 3'x3' area. We now have about 20 stalks with 7 or 8 ears. Density really is the key with corn. Posted by: buddhaha at September 07, 2024 02:39 PM (cqufw) 27

I love the topiary! Yet another reason to go back to Montreal.
I am done gardening until after the first frost. While pulling weeds from a coralbelle pot, I made the acquaintance of the hornets that made their nest in it. I was stung several times but managed to avoid the worst by pulling my blouse up over the ones stinging my torso, twisting the fabric to form a bag, and running inside to submerge it in the sink. Sorry no boob pics, morons. My hands were full! I think there's another nest in the ground near the rhubarb I need to break up and transplant. Not sure if I can do that in the spring. My hands and arm aren't swollen today, but they still hurt. I think the Canada thistle that we're getting is from seeds that a neighbor puts out for the birds. The local plant is the bullthistle, which grows over 6' but can be handled with pigskin gloves. The only way I can tell the difference is to grab hold. I harvested three small heirloom tomatoes from my plants and then threw them onto the pyre. Only one zucchini. No sign of acorn squash, although it's a climber. Fortunately, the neighbors are great gardeners and shared their surplus. Posted by: NaughtyPine at September 07, 2024 02:53 PM (ohvUQ) 33
From Boise area: Highs between 99 and 81, lows 55 to 70. Air quality back to questionable.
Tomatoes coming in so fast! - we eat tomatoes every day yet we're losing ground! Occasional zucchini. I'm working on gathering basil. We stripped the corn, froze whatever we could get off the ears, and cut down the stalks for the fall burn pile. Harvested 2 bags of fingerlings, over 11 and a half pounds - unfortunately found vole tunnels under them. Husband is talking about barn cats for next year. I dug up and emptied out the thyme bed, which was full of spearmint roots. I tried starting thyme seeds indoors but the sprouts all just died - probably better to do it in spring anyway. Under puttering, I finished weeding the asparagus bed, and we dumped the potato bag soil onto that to fill up the soil level. We power-washed the back of the house, the patio, and the cement driveway. Husband started a batch of "whipped red raspberry" liqueur - whip cream vodka and red raspberries. Will post recipe ratios here if asked. Posted by: Pat* at September 07, 2024 02:54 PM (u6C5k) 34

But tomorrow I have to mow again, which is the second year in a row that I've mowed the lawn in September. Usually the lawn goes dormant in late June, early July, but we have gotten several nice soaker rainfalls, and not too many super hot days.

Cicero, I have a special note for you.
Out mowing the farthest reaches of the property yesterday, I was running along the fence line on the road side and found a piece of heavy art paper with bold lettering. It was half of the dust cover of a hard-cover edition of "A Pillar of Iron" by Taylor Caldwell. I engaged the safety and climbed down off the Gravely to retrieve it, like a message from Beyond. That was a little startling in my neighborhood. Taylor Caldwell was, by my lights, the second-best known female conservative author of the 1950's. Now it is a generally Christian (or as the history falls out, 'proto-Christian') story, so it might have been from someone's church circle. But you know who it's about. Just not a lot of classics scholars on this road. So there you go, a little gardening, a little meditation, and your daily ration of Marcus Tullius.

Posted by: NaughtyPine at September 07, 2024 05:13 PM (0bmLN) Posted by: USA at September 07, 2024 05:28 PM (9n8Rx) The "rules-based international order" vs. free speech?![]() Matt Taibbi has been doing a study of the various disinformation "laboratories" at places like Stanford and the University of Washington, and has noted a curious thing about their "research". The government never provides "misinformation". All information provided by the government is correct and truthful. Only opponents of the government provide misinformation. A novel aspect of our present political moment is that the more credentials a person has, the more likely he or she is to be a Democrat. This wasn’t true 50 years ago; on the contrary. But creeping credentialism has become a key feature of our culture. I think we are in the midst of a coup being carried out by people who are dumb, but have credentials, usually half-baked. These thoughts are prompted by Matt Taibbi’s current Racket News post. I am not sure whether that link will work if you are not a Racket News subscriber. If not, you might consider signing up. Meanwhile, I will try to do justice to the post with a few excerpts. Briefly, Taibbi has obtained documents in response to a FOIA request. His post focuses on an alleged “misinformation” expert named Michael Caulfield, of the University of Washington. Early in the covid fiasco, Caulfield wrote an email in which he ridiculed people who were trying to understand the actual lethality of the virus: Caulfield dismissed efforts to analyze data to figure out what was happening, on the ground that most people lack credentials. (Not that he himself had any relevant expertise, by the way.) Instead, the average person–pretty much everyone–should just figure out “who [sic] to trust.” And that would be the government.Check out the details at the link. Of course, as to the covid epidemic, the oft-censored independent voices generally turned out to be right, and the government was wrong. Finally, I note that Caulfield described thinking for oneself as “a lousy epistemology.” As a one-time student of epistemology, I say with confidence that no philosopher has ever advanced such a theory. The idea that one should always believe the government and follow its dictates has a name, not in epistemology but in politics. It starts with an F. That is where today’s Democratic Party lives.Why are academia and government teaming up to teach people not to think? We need to make viruses more dangerous to protect you from viruses. We need to suppress dissident scientists to preserve science. We need to suppress free speech to preserve democracy. 2. He is Bret Weinstein's brother and a free speech advocate 3. He named the Intellectual Dark Web. Remember them? In this excerpt, Weinstein helps explain the behavior of members of The Borg and manages to make one wonder how conspiratorial the "international rules-based order" is, without panicking. Sorry if my comments are disjointed, but the interview is kinda disjointed.
Trump is seen as a threat to "the rules-based international order" which is supposed to keep the world free of war and keep markets open. I don't think a lot of people think that this "international order" has been in terrific shape. Eric Weinstein is unsettled about this year's election, and his thoughts here should not be considered to be definitive. There are some alternative ideas in the comment thread, too. He doesn't think that Trump will be allowed to become president, or to function as president. He views Kamala Harris as the tail end of the group trying to hold the order together just a little longer. He thinks the State Department and other agencies have a responsibility to explain to voters that if they choose populist presidents, those populist presidents may risk international agreements. As if the Deep State would ever be this frank with voters! Check out the last segment starting at 13 minutes, on the media. There are people who disagree and have other points of view in the comment thread. Democrats abandoned the working poor, Republicans started listening to them. Also in the last segment, how the Democrats will likely neutralize Trump. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Posted by: Notsothoreau at September 07, 2024 11:29 AM (MpVUb) Eric has an ego, and I really think he can't quite see it. Some of what he says about the people who shut him out of academia, it comes off as sour grapes. Like he knows he belongs, and they won't let him play their reindeer games. So when it comes to Trump, and others he's rubbed shoulders with, he takes whatever is their worse qualities, and amplifies them to the point of considering them the whole of the person, the reason they can't be trusted, the way they're not as good as him. And it causes dissonance in ways I don't think he even notices. It's a very human mistake, but a mistake nonetheless. Posted by: BurtTC at September 07, 2024 11:33 AM (SzECQ) 22

I really think that a whole lot of eyes have been opened.
The economy is shit and the democrats say its the best it's ever been. That alone has a lot of people asking questions. The persecution of Trump is pretty eye opening as well. The protests and riots on behalf of murderous terrorists and in your face Jew hatred are very obvious. Even the LIV part of the citizenry are getting fed up with all this bullshit. They can see how much worse things are since Trump was ousted. They know who is responsible. Harris thinks that being quiet and letting the media handle her publicity is going to make people forget all of this. She is wrong. Eyes are opened and the masks are off. Everyone can see the rotten fruit of the poison tree. They know who is trying to force everyone to eat that fruit. Interesting times indeed.

Posted by: Madamemayhem (uppity wench) at Brisk walking is awesome! What kind of squats are you doing? In any squat, it’s seat and hips first, the rest follows, gaze forward. Your knees track over the middle of your feet, but not over your toes, which should be forward. If you are doing a sumo squat, make sure you turn your toes out slightly and it’s okay to have your knees track over them. If you have larger hand weights, you can stand on the heads of one of them for an elevated squat and it will force your knees in the right position, too.

The problems Trump had in his first four were..
He naively thought that the Republicans honestly wanted the same things he did and would help get those things done. He naively thought the democrats honestly wanted what was best for the country and would work with him to achieve that goal. He didn't understand that the uniparty is rotten to the core and only wants what is best for the uniparty. He wasn't sure who the good guys were and who the bad guys were. He wasn't sure if he could do some things because of dishonest people telling him he couldn't. Trump doesn't make the same mistake twice. He knows the game, the players, and the rules now.

I expect that they'll try to refuse to certify the election, and take other measures if Trump wins.

Liz Cheney. For Trump, she's like that girl you dated until you realized she was mental and then dumped and she just can't get over it. At all. Forever.
Liz is a whore. She only moved to Wyoming because there was an open Senate seat, settled for the House seat, and then immediately moved back to her home in Northern Virginia when she lost the House seat. With no political career left, she has to grub for money from the people who will pay her. Posted by: The ARC of History! at September 07, 2024 12:16 PM (uxCna) 90

Weinstein: "Trump made a very uncomfortable accommodation with the CIA [Narrator adds: "and Five Eyes"] at the beginning of his term"

How PDJT will kick off his new term is unpredictable, but I expect aggression right off the bat.

154 Kind of interesting that you think this is no big deal, yet the people that study viruses for a living found it unexpected.
Posted by: Notsothoreau ======= Thanks for the link. There was an earlier Japanese study finding junk in the Moderna vaxx that should not have been there. Did not distinguish between poor manufacturing processes and nefarious intent. UK, of all places, is leading on the research over problems from the adrenovirus carrier based Astra Zeneca vaxx. J&J used a similar approach but the one shot regimen may have precluded the severe problems after that the Astra Zeneca vaxx produced in some people. It had a two shot regimen plus then boosters. Novavax which is not mRNA but an older vax design is available for Covid if you feel you must vaccinate against what has essentially become another 'cold' corona virus.

Posted by: thatcrazyjerseyguy ===== Most of the public acts on the fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me principle. Simply put, compliance flatlined by most after it was revealed that Covid was not the Andromeda Strain that the media and gubmints built it up to be. Note the continuing efforts by the public health complex to scare teh shit out of everyone each season with Covid and fewer and fewer people masking up, getting boosters, etc. Recently they have tried with bird flu and people have yawned. Most people with half a brain are not getting the boosters, not masking up, and even locales have abandoned the idiotic six foot rule etc. The public health people shit in their own nest here and as a result, lots of people are simply avoiding any and all new vaccinations including the annual flu ones.

Part of the time the Dems don't spend telling us that our insisting on the term "constitutional republic" is needless pedantry and means the "same thing" as "democracy", is spent like the New York Times recent article telling us how our *particular* Constitution gets in the way of "democracy".

I think the covid op was a compliance op perpetrated on the public. The junta wanted to gauge what the public's response would be to mandated behavior changes. There could be several reasons for that, but I think it was primarily for controlling movement. To me, that was the biggest cultural change during covid... the lack of movement.
I'm sure there are other possibilities. But the empty freeways I was on at the time were surreal. Posted by: Martini Farmer at September 07, 2024 01:44 PM (Q4IgG) Posted by: G'rump928(c) at September 07, 2024 01:44 PM (aD39U) 243

According to that, I was three times more likely to get hit by lightning than to die of Covid. So I compared that to the death risk for the shot and determined the shot was approximately 4,000 times more dangerous for me than Covid was. For my husband, the shot was about 2,000 times more dangerous. Posted by: Emmie at September 07, 2024 01:47 PM (Sf2cq) 245

Yeah Trump wasn’t in the lab creating the vaccines. But he was the guy at the top who gave the orders to create it. He created it in that sense. Just like Biden himself didnt fire people for refusing the shot. He was the guy who gave the order.
Posted by: Write it off Jerry at September 07, 2024 01:31 PM (7i/Qe) --- Which again illustrates that the main thing Trump did was supply that thing which experts had started to say was a necessity to "opening the country back up". I thing that's still part of why Trump lauds how fast he was able to deliver this "vaccine" which was increasingly mentioned as a mandatory condition of opening back up. And yeah, that does expose that if it takes at least 2-3 years to develop a vaccine. The Dems were willing to not open up for another 2-3 years. I remember things. Especially rhetoric somebody wants me to take to heart. "Until we get a vaccine" was a thing. Thus, Trump supplied that condition in record time because he knew the economy couldn't take 2-3 years more lockdown. Posted by: Axeman at September 07, 2024 01:52 PM (krQz2) 247

Posted by: Skip at September 07, 2024 01:55 PM (fwDg9) --- It's hard to tell which is the bigger target: the EC or the Court. The EC is *embedded* into the Constitution. It would be hard to argue that you don't need an amendment, and even harder to argue that it is in some bizarre way "unconstitutional", since it is one of those things almost completely laid out in the Constitution. The Court is more reachable because as the Federalists even indicate the Supreme Court was one of the last ideas. And was mainly meant so that Congress would not have the power of Parliament to change "what they meant" in the laws already passed. So, I do think that the Court is the avenue to argue that the EC is "unconstitutional"--or at that point they may even argue that the discretion to rule things "unconstitutional" is only part of their broad powers of review. So, they can pass a bad review of the EC and have it be done. Posted by: Axeman at September 07, 2024 02:00 PM (krQz2) 255

Posted by: Notsothoreau at September 07, 2024 01:57 PM (MpVUb) --- Agreed. But that allowed Trump to deliver the "condition of opening" that much sooner. In fact, that motivation makes it almost an asset that it was promoted as "The Vaccine", rather than "treatment for Covid" because the latter could have been argued to not actually be a vaccine and so states could "use their discretion" and continue lockdown. Especially if aided by a Trump-hating Congress (DC). Posted by: Axeman at September 07, 2024 02:03 PM (krQz2) 256
One big difference between Trump 2016 and Trump 2024 is that the earlier Trump was maybe aa little surprised to win, and unprepared to hire non-establishment and like-minded people.
This time he expects to win and he is already deep in planning a detailed, (hopefully) fully staffed, plan of administration. I doubt someone like Mengele-Fauci could get the 2024 Trump to agree to his crazy shit proposals as readily as the 2019 Trump. Posted by: Huck Follywood at September 07, 2024 02:04 PM (pewBZ) 257

Ughhh...our neighbours are gone until tomorrow. I've been feeding their outdoor cats.
One of them, my favorite, Trumpy, showed up at the porch at 3am. Hadn't seen him in days. But has a horrible limp. Back leg, barely using it. He's been resting in here since 3am. Didn't move until almost 11am. Ate a little, drank a bit. His sister.....and maybe lover, came over....no reaction. I put him out to go pee, and he was limping across the street. Hell no, Grabbed him. Brought him back in the house. He's resting while I have beer. I've never been a cat person before these. As an outdoor cat, will he just pee and crap wherever? I'll try to go with him outside. The neighbour just said out him out, but he's really limping. I'm fine with taking care of dude. Posted by: Stateless at September 07, 2024 02:23 PM (jvJvP) 265

Eric Weinstein discussed it not too long ago, but we've been stagnant for 50 years, with actual science pushed out of Science because it's disruptive (you know, science). And because of that we've had no real advancements except for making computers and communications devices smaller and faster. The really neat part is realizing that all the advancements have been made in systems to spy on us. Oh well, probably nothing. But there has been no real advancement or new tech in 50+ years, only refinement.

If the additives to make any paint color cause the paint to chip and peel in a couple of months to a year, that paint will be off the market in about double the time.

They considered that their needed to be some change to force us into "the future" of mRNA vaccines. Again this is Summer 2019. There is recorded video you can still find online about this.

Like some entrapment scheme to show that the "right" is "funded by Russia". And even though it doesn't show that much, knowing that the Demedia is going to take what they have and run with it to the hills. They couched their language in the 51+ expert statement about the Hunter Biden laptop, which a number of the signers have used to their "defense" since. See, it didn't say that the laptop WAS a Russian op, just that it had the earmarks of Russian disinformation (while actually being true).

Good morning all! That's wonderful news about JJ. Had my second treatment Thursday and so far so good. Unfortunately this has been the week from hell. Monday evening a lesion on my upper left femur started hurting something awful. I could hardly walk. Hubby had to drive himself to the ER because over the weekend and into Monday he couldn't pee and was in terrible pain. Long story short they sent him home with a catheter in with NO instructions and very little information. It's not kidney stones.

They said his prostate was very swollen and pressing against his bladder. They drained a liter of urine out once the cath was in. He can't remember half of what they told him. He's frustrated and confused and now I absolutely know for certain he has early onset dementia. He just came down a few notches and it's very noticeable. I should have been there with him but my pain was so bad I couldn't even drive a car. Oh and I got another UTI. My trip to Florida is probably off. My last chance probably to go but I can't leave him like this.

Posted by: Dr Pork Chops & Bacons at September 07, 2024 08:50 AM (g8Ew ![]() --- Five years ago this week I was struck by myocarditis that resembled a heart attack and damn near killed me. Whilst in the hospital they scoped my ticker from top to bottom, even injecting me with that weird burning stuff to map the arteries. Very cool imaging. As soon as I could, I sought out the Anointing of the Sick, which I found calming. Also efficacious, as my heart sustained no damage and I had a full recovery. The cardiologist was positively grinning at the follow-up appointment because he rarely gets to give such good news. While convalescing I read up on the Spanish Civil War, and that became the genesis of Long Live Death, which got me into non-fiction and so Walls of Men followed. I got to see the kids finish high school and greet my grandchildren, so things have worked out pretty well. Thanks be to God! Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

Jewells, if you can find a first-rate urology department there is great reason for hope. First, as you probably have heard, all sorts of UTI's and urinary disorders ape the symptoms of dementia, and those clear up when the blockages and infections do.
"Swollen prostate" does not always mean prostate cancer, and treatments have advanced greatly in this century. You should ask about a process called trans-urethral resection (turp). The use of the laser only sounds barbaric in description, and pales by comparison to the melon-ballers they used to whip out. Posted by: Way,Way Downriver at September 07, 2024 09:16 AM (zdLoL) 138

Shotguns could be bought at the hardware store without showing ID. Yet school was safe. What changed? It damn sure wasn't the guns.

Posted by: Divide by Zero at September 07, 2024 09:29 AM (RKVpM) --- Columbine was, and sort of set a template for how to get media coverage if you're an angry kid. The pattern was clear even back then, and no one has bothered to do anything. The schools report the kids, law enforcement folds its hands, and people expect the parents - who created the problem - to know how to fix it. And then there's the new trans angle, where we pump dangerous chemicals into teenagers and wonder what will happen next. The responsible agencies are more interested in bullying parents' use of pronouns that stopping any of these crimes from happening. Oh, and the "red flag" laws that take your guns but leave you with car keys and machetes because those totally can't hurt anyone. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

AnnaS1- you have my sincere condolences. I lost my first husband to a very aggressive cancer just after we both turned 30. What you are dealing with is hard. The loss, the sadness, the.... Everything. It feels like it's too much and it will crush you but trust me, you will get through it. I had a 2 yr old to deal with. Trying to keep his life normal helped me keep my sanity. My family, (parents, brothers, etc) were huge help. Turn to family and friends. When they ask what do you need, how can I help? Tell them. Don't think you have to carry this alone. My brother heard me railing against this terrible reality, grabbed my shoulders, looked me right in the eye and said, " no it isn't what you want, it's not what it should be. It's the way it is, and you have to accept it and keep going. You play the cards you're dealt.". Just keep breathing and moving forward.

Besides, what's the alternative - treating the game like a press conference and having every channel that wants to show up? How would that even work?

My father is an otherwise highly intelligent man, but he has outsourced all his political thought to MSNBC, and the other day yet again gave me the brain-dead claptrap about gun control and I had to remind him that he went to high school when you could mail order an M1 Carbine for $10 without any restrictions. Shotguns could be bought at the hardware store without showing ID. Yet school was safe. What changed? It damn sure wasn't the guns. He tried to argue that guns were unique and I pointed out the Christmas parade massacre and how my quiet, leafy college town now parks trucks on all the entrances to the air fair so that some nut doesn't try the same trick. We have a mental health crisis, not a gun crisis. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd -------------------------- Conversation with my doc the other day.

The first step is clarifying that the problem cannot be solved merely by prohibiting sharp pointy things. By focusing on mental health, we can also highlight the limitations of the current system, which includes the ineffectiveness of drug treatments. At the same time, we must speak more openly of faith, re-inserting it into the public square and embracing the language of moral judgement. We need to remind people hell exists and its doing huge business at the moment. Put simply, is banging another dude up the bunghole worth an eternity of torment? Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

Good morning
Colorado Parks & Wildlife has released its annual grey wolf reintroduction report. I am a bit puzzled by this quote from one of the organizers/advocates for the reintroduction: “There’s a bigger good here, right? Bringing wolves back to do what wolves are supposed to do, which is to keep the land healthy by moving their native prey around the landscape,” said Rob Edward, President of Rocky Mountain Wolf Project. What is this notion of what wolves are supposed to do? It seems obvious that with population growth in Colorado and with increased recreational activities in the mountains, ranching, and exurban mountain homesites that the interface between man and nature is nowhere near the same ass it was in 1824 or 1924 or even 1974. The notion of returning to some presumed prior normative status by bringing back an apex predator strikes me as Disneytopian nonsense. Posted by: Muldoon at September 07, 2024 09:54 AM (991eG) 229

I endorse keep busy, but for me it was more a process of taking one thing at a time and doing it. So much was in upheaval when my husband died (year ago April) that I am only this month finishing our last married-filing-jointly for 2023; after closing out his business, doing those taxes and settling those accounts, I just filed an extension on our own taxes because I was overwhelmed from doing all the business things (also on extension--he died tax week after a long debilitating illness). You WILL be busy all on your own, but take things as you can, Yes, accept help. I am glad for relatives who helped me though so much. I was very lucky, in that my husband's death was not unexpected. Also lucky in that I could truly feel thankful he was not in pain any more, not just the illness but the horrible rage and frustration of a man used to being competent and in control. I miss him, but not his suffering. And it hits me in the face when I least expect it. His first birthday after he was gone wiped me out. He would have been 64, and that Beatles song was our wedding dance. It made me so sad that he didn't make it. Posted by: barbarausa at September 07, 2024 10:02 AM (enw9G) 252

There is a lot of emerging evidence that nicotine, of all things, helps deal with COVID/CoVax, as it appears the spike proteins bind to a nicotine receptor site. I've seen a few doctors that are now recommending a 3 mg nicotine patch (half of a small one or cut a big one in 6 pieces) for long covid/covax symptoms. Posted by: Malcolm Tent at September 07, 2024 10:00 AM In the early days of covid the people in France noticed some nicotine/covid sour relationship and emptied the shelves of every pharmacy in the country of nicotine products. I wonder how many people in the USA saw that story? Posted by: Divide by Zero at September 07, 2024 10:04 AM (RKVpM) 260

We think about lots of things and while sex has its place, it is not the primary activity with which we identify ourselves. The deviants are the one who define themselves by their deviancy, and it's fascinating how they think that if they can just get a bunch of people in Roman collars to agree with them, God will withhold judgement on this matter. But the core question is why? Why are you willing to put your very soul in eternal torment just so you can bust a nut on another dude? Don't get me wrong, I get that some sex is hotter than others, but banging your way through bathhouse after bathhouse has to get a bit boring after a while.

They could've attempted a negotiated settlement after the draft NOA was received a month or so ago, but chose not to. They can still offer to self-impose penalties, but the NCAA doesn't have to accept it if the proposed self-penalties are not sufficient given the serious nature of the infractions.

It's beyond the point where UM can negotiate anything as the official notice of allegations was delivered to them ten days ago.
Posted by: one hour sober at September 07, 2024 10:18 AM (Y1sOo) --- That's not true. Throughout the process the path to a negotiated settlement remains open. The previous infraction was negotiated after the NOA was delivered, and in many cases the NOA facilitates negotiation because it spells out the seriousness of the offense. The NCAA prefers this path because it takes less time and is not subject to appeal. Michigan technically has 90 days to respond and in the previous violation used that full time before reaching a settlement, though the case had to be broken up into separate elements due to Harbaugh's non-cooperation. Based on the length of that case, I expect the cheating NOA to be several hundred pages long and contain information confirming that the football program was essentially unsupervised, completely beyond institutional control. The earlier report contains hints of this, remarking that there was a culture of non-compliance. It will not end well for them. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

Blinken’s comments do not meet the significance of this event. He does not address how the USA will keep other Americans safe there no matter what the circumstances may be. Eygi was protesting an illegal settlement. This has gone too far. It’s too much and it has to be addressed in good faith, finally. #TooFarTooMuchGaza.

When wolves were reintroduced into the mountains of Colorado they went right back to eating livestock, which is why they were rubbed out in the first place.
In fairness to cannibals, when Alferd Packer was reintroduced into public after serving prison time he never did eat another person. My point? Cannibals rehabilitate better than wolves. Posted by: Muldoon at September 07, 2024 10:37 AM (991eG) 341

By the way, I think the whole Michigan cheating thing is illustrative of how morality has slipped over the past few years.
Not that long ago, a school that found a violation would fall over itself to correct it. Michigan actually did this during the RichRod era where the president herself apologized for the transgressions. Flash forward to last year. As soon as the story broke, I was convinced that there would be a Friday Night Massacre, canning Harbaugh, the staff, etc. and an immediate statement would go out about how this is unacceptable. Instead, they turtled up and have stayed that way, desperately clinging to their fraudulent titles. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Everything is "the ends justify the means" these days, but there are exceptions. MSU and Northwestern both had scandals and solved them by whacking the coach. As a result, they're in a better place today. Michigan has destroyed its reputations not only through the cheating, but their cowardly refusal to own up to it. Who in their right mind would go to a school like that? Talk about destroying the brand. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

Accounting only for active-duty personnel, the IDF is 169,500. If each member of "the Israeli Army" that "shot her," shot, and 50% of them missed, she'd have been hit by 84,750 bullets. That's a lot of bullets. Posted by: ZOD at September 07, 2024 10:42 AM (P+D4R) 352
AnnaS1’s husband died in July, and her heart is shattered. She needs some prayers. If anyone else has lost a spouse, how did you get through it?
My husband died a little over a year ago. Grief is a tough journey. It seems insurmountable at first but believe me it does get better little by little. I leaned heavily on my son and sister during the first few months. Family is important. Try to stay busy. I was lucky in that regard as I decided to move from Ohio to Tennessee to be close to son and grandchildren and the process kept me from dwelling on the grief too much. Of course I had the blessing of Horde prayers and good wishes which I know helped me get through those first couple of weeks. Posted by: Tuna at September 07, 2024 10:42 AM (oaGWv) 353

>>>That's not true.
I'm not going to go digging for it now, but there is a pretty substantive flow-chart on the NCAA website that details how the whole process plays out regarding investigation of alleged infractions by member university sports programs. It clearly shows that once the official (not the draft) notice of allegations is delivered, the matter ultimately will go to Committee on Infractions for determination. As I stated, UM can offer to self-impose penalties and the NCAA investigation branch can even accept it, but the matter is still going to the Committee on Infractions who have the ultimate say in what the penalties will be.

My father is an otherwise highly intelligent man, but he has outsourced all his political thought to MSNBC, and the other day yet again gave me the brain-dead claptrap about gun control and I had to remind him that he went to high school when you could mail order an M1 Carbine for $10 without any restrictions. Shotguns could be bought at the hardware store without showing ID.
Yet school was safe. What changed? It damn sure wasn't the guns. He tried to argue that guns were unique and I pointed out the Christmas parade massacre and how my quiet, leafy college town now parks trucks on all the entrances to the air fair so that some nut doesn't try the same trick.

Posted by: one hour sober at September 07, 2024 10:43 AM (Y1sOo) --- We're talking past each other. The COI approves settlements as well as adjudicates. You will recall that there was an earlier settlement offer regarding recruiting that the COI rejected as too lenient. The big difference is that a settlement cannot be appealed. The other resolution methods can. Michigan would be well advised to settle quickly, before the FBI makes its move regarding Matt Weiss and the criminal implications of trying to fix the entire college football season. If the NCAA case remains open when that hits, the penalties will surely escalate. If it is closed, than the NCAA would not be able to reopen it. I think the NCAA knows this and does not want to impose the 'death penalty' on Michigan, but if federal indictments are handed down, may be forced to do so. Closing the case avoids that entire discussion. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at September 07, 2024 10:51 AM (llXky) 374

I must’ve missed something huge… and I do follow college football closely. And yet I had no idea Michigan fixed the whole season last year. How??? IMHO, cheating in college football is impossible in this day and age… NIL means you can buy whatever team you want legally. Anything Michigan did last year was of little consequence…. I can’t imagine anything that would’ve changed game outcomes. The stuff that got SMU the death penalty in 1987 is now legal encouraged and widespread. What did I miss??

Posted by: LinusVanPelt at September 07, 2024 11:00 AM (BIJxw) --- In 2020, Michigan was on the ropes and Harbaugh was about to be fired. He accepted a humiliating pay cut and decided that he would win at any cost. First, he recruited during the Covid-related "dead period" when personal contact was forbidden, ostensibly to stop the spread. He was caught, lied about it, lied again, and continues to lie. The facts speak otherwise and there's a 48-page report on the NCAA web site to get you up to speed on that. But that was small beans compared to the massive, multi-year in-person scouting scheme undertaken between 2020 and 2023, which not only sought to give Michigan a competitive edge against its foes, but hoped to rig the playoff selection by supplying other teams with opponents' signals so the "tree" could be stacked.

We moved the fall before he died, and I am not ready to move again (maybe not for years).
Downsizing from a home of 25 years, with him so sick, was horrible--still have four golf bags full of clubs he refused to let go, because when it got warm he was going to golf again, dammit! The only good thing about that process was that I don't ever have to do it again, and it's done so I can't afford to regret any of the decisions made in stress. I would say don't make any major decisions quickly, in full grief. I have gone through a lot of his things, clothes, books, etc. And some are just too much to do anything but keep right now. I'll know when it's time to let them go. A few of them are going to be on the "not today" list for a long time, and some forever. Posted by: barbarausa at September 07, 2024 11:07 AM (enw9G) 419
They just found the remains of a hiker missing since 2013, in Skamania County where I used to live. They did a big search when he went missing but he was in the lava beds in difficult terrain. They said there are still a dozen people missing in the county. There's a reason why Bigfoot lives there.

It is also a repeat offender, which increases the severity of each offense. If you read the prior report it is utterly damning.

Posted by: Accomack at September 07, 2024 11:09 AM (Y6Ecf) --- The FBI has confirmed it is involved in the Matt Weiss case, which has been strangely silent. My belief is that the FBI is holding back to let the NCAA do its thing because the NCAA can actually compel testimony and the FBI cannot. Participation in NCAA activities carries and obligation to be honest to investigators and cooperate. There is no 5th Amendment. This allows the NCAA to obtain evidence that might otherwise be withheld in a criminal matter, but could subsequently be passed to the FBI. As to the signs, understand that Michigan didn't just have signals, they had the entire playbook of selected teams, so would know each formation and its capabilities. Plus, you can only change signals so many ways. Finally, cheating obviates everything, whether or not it is effective. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

>>We're talking past each other.
Maybe we can agree that the DRAFT notice of allegations was the time for UM to attempt to negotiate a resolution and they chose not to. A DRAFT notice of allegations includes the nature of the allegations and penalties prescribed, but does not include any evidence the NCAA investigators have uncovered to support the allegations. The OFFICIAL notice of allegations does include that evidence. That was the point where the UM athletic director started to wobble from his previous stance of not negotiating and in a later radio interview indicated that the university will have to accept whatever penalties the NCAA will hand down. UM can still offer to self-impose, as Iowa did with its head coach recently, and the NCAA investigation branch can sign off on it, but it would go to the COI who can reject it outright.

Linus, please talk to any coach at any level and see if they think having the opposite teams signs and signals of what play they are going to call prior to the play is not an advantage. That is what Michigan did. And the rumor based on a lot of evidence is that Vegas got wind of what Michigan was doing , sent their own investigative firm, uncovered that a Michigan coach had hacked into practice footage video via opposing schools servers and downloaded the footage. That’s when the FBI was called in, a Michigan coach by the name of Weiss was fired by Michigan last January and his home was raided by FBI and Ann Arbor police and computers confiscated. Remember last January during the playoffs, Saban came out and refused to allow his players to review practice footage on iPads because he was warned of hacking by Michigan . There is a lot to this story that sports media has buried because of money.

One of the saddest days of my life was the day I was told that I'm allergic to coffee. (Or, to be precise, to one of the many substances to be found in coffee.) It was causing a rash that itched constantly.
So, I quit the brew, and the rash went away. I still miss coffee, but I most definitely do not miss itching constantly. Win a few, lose a few. I comfort myself with the thought that in heaven I'll have coffee again - and cigarettes. Posted by: Nemo at September 07, 2024 11:46 AM (S6ArX) 453

Sony's $100 million woke flop Concord is now deceased, having failed to reach 1000 players in the entire world in the ten days since release.
Don’t worry, they’ve learned nothing and announced “Fairgame$”, where you play as a black thief to a hip hop soundtrack. (Paging Ryan Long, they’re doing the “wokes and racists believe the same thing” thing again). The marketing is that you only steal from a bad billionaire with the initials “E.M.”, so it’s ok. Also “fight the power and please buy all our microtransactions”. I’ve already seen it called “AOC Simulator”.

My boys are going, but I am never going to jump thru any hoops again for the organization that used to be known as the "Boy Scouts of America".

One thing I didn't realize until recently, the Starliner must have 100 per cent operational thrusters (I'm making an assumption here) right before touchdown on land, to slow it down enough, keep the Gs down or whatever. I suspect that was another concern.
On Apollo they had 3 large parachutes, and had ocean re-entry. They could hit pretty hard, but they didn't ever need thrusters to effect a safe landing. Posted by: The Hell With Scope or Cepacol It's Fucking Ten High All The Way at September 06, 2024 10:12 PM (cy5Cg) 29

don't read this if you read it last thread:
What goes up, must come down, even late and without a crew. Follow the deorbit and the landing of Boeing's Starliner Calypso. Landing in NM September 7, 12:03 a.m._SpaceAffairs (is Sunni coming back with an extra package?) -------------------- It was supposed to be this evening. Wonder if they have undocked the little wart yet? Wait! Rooters says that it is undocked. ... "as Starliner autonomously departed the laboratory at 6:04 p.m. ET (2204 GMT) for a 6 hour journey toward Earth." Reading on Reuters says it's coming back at 11:17PM (0317 GMT Saturday) followed by parachute assisted touchdown at White Sands Space Harbor, New Mexico. ..."bringing total cost overruns on the Starliner program just above $1.6 BILLION since 2016."

Posted by: Tom Perry at September 06, 2024 10:19 PM (MX0bI) They short staffed the most recent flight, so there is no overcrowding. There are two astronauts who were bumped from the flight probably pissed off about still being on terra firma, but the ISS is not overcrowded.

There’s a view of that explosion from a boat in the harbor about a mile away, and in it you can see the shock wave racing across the waters surface, turning it white. Shakes the boat up pretty bad when it hits.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 06, 2024 11:22 PM (masDJ) Once the tomatoes get ripe the skin gets inelastic, I think. The additional water causes them to swell and that splits the skins. I prefer to pick them and then water the rows to try to avoid that. They split when they get extra water. Some heirloom tomatoes split a bit just because, the Cherokee Purples for example, and the newer hubrids are resistant. I am growing Cherokee purples and a lot of cherry tomatoes that I thought I had saved from some open pollinated tomatoes that would breed true.

anyhow, this morning I split plums to dry to prunes, I cut up and canned what pears I have, since it is a poor year for that tree, and I tried to can apple chunks.
the apple chunks were not a success, they shrank. The next batch I am going to try cutting them up and simmering them for a little on the stove before canning. I do that when I can plums and that keeps the plums from shrinking - or rather they shrink before I can them. also my wife's Asian pear is loaded with fruit, even after I went out and thinned out about a third of the fruit a couple of months ago. My garden did not do well this year, I didn't care for it well, but some parts did very well. Posted by: Kindltot at September 06, 2024 11:38 PM (D7oie) 254
Sergio Mendes was a fantastic artist. The combination of Sergio, Burt Bacharach, Herb Alpert made A and M records a hit factory. We've all heard recordings where a vocalist will overdub another take in unison with the old one. Everyone did it. It thickens the track, sort of like a chorus effect. Well, Sergio did that in concert. He always had 2 lovely lasses singing unison. I saw this many times.
He created a new art form just when jazz was busy driving itself into the ditch. RIP Sergio. Posted by: gourmand du jour at September 06, 2024 11:39 PM (MeG8a) 255

He then watched as two soldiers standing on the roof of a nearby home trained a gun in the group’s direction and shot at them. He saw the flares leave the nozzle of the gun when the shots rang out. He said Eygi was about 10 or 15 meters (yards) behind him when the shots were fired. ----- "The nozzle of the gun." Well anyway, video from the scene shows full sunlight.

The one part of the Uke war that I still find fascinating is the evolution of combat techniques through drones. I think it’s given a huge boost to defense in general, and has ruined the concept of the main battle tank as an offensive weapon. Simple drones carrying ATGM’s are devastating to tanks.
Posted by: Tom Servo Offense has always been easier than defense. Tanks are more defense than offense: they're "unkillable" artillery. You can push them forward as offensive weapons if you have full control otherwise. Drones are pure offense: they're ultra-cheap cruise missiles. Using drones at short (UKR vs RUS) distances on home ground makes them look like defense, but they can't hold ground or anything. All they can do is blow shit up, once. Defense only works when it's overwhelmingly more advanced (iron dome vs. unguided sewer-pipe rockets), or if it's offense pretending to be defense (nuclear M.A.D.), or if the offense is prevented from working effectively by bureaucratic ROE (USA vs. iron-age muslims, USA vs. southern border invaders). Tanks, as a concept, were destined to fail eventually. Posted by: mikeski at September 07, 2024 12:31 AM (DgGvY) Posted by: the Wretched Panhard at September 07, 2024 12:32 AM (lSyD7) 359

About the same time as the Edsel, Ford made a top-of-line Galaxie called, of all things, Starliner (the famous Studebaker from Robert Bourke, always called a 'Loewy coupe,' is properly a Starlight). It had similar performance options to the Edsel, 292 and 352 engines, sold not nearly as well, and was considered a success, being superseded by the Galaxie 500 line in 1963.

Posted by: mikeski at September 07, 2024 12:31 AM (DgGvY) They were very effective, in WWI, at breaking through the trench lines, when there existed no weapons specifically designed to counter them.

About the same time as the Edsel, Ford made a top-of-line Galaxie called, of all things, Starliner (the famous Studebaker from Robert Bourke, always called a 'Loewy coupe,' is properly a Starlight). It had similar performance options to the Edsel, 292 and 352 engines, sold not nearly as well, and was considered a success, being superseded by the Galaxie 500 line in 1963.
"Space Edsel" must be a snide play on the Starliner name. Posted by: Way,Way Downriver at September 07, 2024 12:34 AM (zdLoL) You, of all people, should know that the Starlight was a coupe, and the Starliner was the corresponding hardtop. And yes, Ford picked up the Starliner name once Studebaker ceased to use it. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 07, 2024 12:38 AM (masDJ) 373

Posted by: Way,Way Downriver at September 07, 2024 12:51 AM (zdLoL) Well, my understanding of it is that the original Bob Bourke rendering of the car was the Starliner hardtop, which is the purest form of the design. But the company also wanted a pillared coupe, which is a much stronger, less rattle-prone structure, so that was added. Of course, the '52 Hardtop, which was the first such model in the post-War era, was also called a Starliner. But then the '47-on 5-passenger coupes were all called Starlights, right? Almost like they had a system in place.

Systemic math racism and all that. * One of our high school trig problems was the position of a fixed place machine gun and the deflection that occurred when traversing the weapon in an arc of say 100 degrees. The bullets didn't go straight, so lots of mathematical formulaic curves. Hard math. Stressful. I sympathize with these poor scholars. Posted by: RickZ at September 07, 2024 01:05 AM (gKDq2) 400

Olds had a then brand-new hi-compression overhead valve V8. The Monarch has the bigger Flathead Ford engine with 255 cubic inches displacement. So less engine, less transmission. Mercs and Monarchs were low, and inspired the customizers to chop tops and lower them even more. So there's that.

Mouse trolls cat. Golden angels. Cats trolling their injured owners. (IG) Wingsuit guy bullseyes womp-rats at Beggar's Canyon. (IG) Pretty wave in slow-motion. (IG) Dogs reacting to their owners barking at them. (IG) Korean market in a narrow alley which is also a traintrack. (IG) Dancing baby. Meet the kitten, greet the kitten. Both clips on IG for those boycotting. I've had this open for a while, unsure if I've posted it before or not. It's wingsuit-to-parachute footage of a guy zooming around the Lauterbrunner Valley in Switzerland (IG).

What goes up, must come down, even late and without a crew. Follow the deorbit and the landing of Boeing's Starliner Calypso. Landing in NM September 7, 12:03 a.m._SpaceAffairs (is Sunni coming back with an extra package?)
-------------------- It was supposed to be this evening. Wonder if they have undocked the little wart yet? Wait! Rooters says that it is undocked. ... "as Starliner autonomously departed the laboratory at 6:04 p.m. ET (2204 GMT) for a 6 hour journey toward Earth." Reading on Reuters says it's coming back at 11:17PM (0317 GMT Saturday) followed by parachute assisted touchdown at White Sands Space Harbor, New Mexico. ..."bringing total cost overruns on the Starliner program just above $1.6 BILLION since 2016." Hey, a guy's gotta eat. Oh, today Boeing has been shorted 13.56 (M). Posted by: Braenyard at September 06, 2024 07:50 PM (ble/H) Posted by: nurse ratched at September 06, 2024 07:51 PM (CaDQS) 22

Once more is the time at hand for the antics of the felines, among the japeries of other creatures. Ja, that is most diverting, and if Werner were not Deutsch, he might smile. Honestly, I doubt if there have smiles in Germany since we kicked the ass of Napoleon III in the Franco-Prussian War. Well, we call it a war, but it was a one-sided affair in which the Deutsch forces had to come up with a creative solution to manage surrenders on an industrial scale, as well as the manner of best practices for assuaging Gallic tears. The "War" part is an effort to salve the feelings of the Frankreich denizens. Gott knows they need it.
What is the deal, though, with the catapult? I say this as someone from a nation that holds the world record for horrific bad decisions, yet Werner is still puzzled. The suicide beach catapult is puzzling. Is it a death wish? Were Jacklinks jerky involved? Perhaps someone was messin' with Sasquatch? I have seen the films of this, and apparently some youngsters feel that frustrating and angering an eight-foot tall man-beast is a recipe for chill'n and illli'n, but Werner would remind them that this is not gangsta, however one might wish it so.

I bought a bass a few months ago. Has a bit of buzz at the 3rd fret so i need to get it fixed. I mostly got it to put basic basslines down on my own compositions and for whoever comes over to play. But i feel like an absolute fraud on bass whereas i don't on rhythm guitar. Whereas i can learn to play cool riffs on a keyboard - came up with a nice one in A harmonic minor awhile back - but playing chords i have to piece them out: Cm? Lessee, start on C, then 3 half steps then 4 half steps. C-D#-G That's cumbersome. Whereas on guitar, i can do chords easily - majors, minors, suspended, m7ths..., but i can't play riffs....

Francis Gruber is well known in Germany as the older brother of the martyr Hans Gruber, who flew too close to the sun and Bruce Willis and decorated the parking lot of the Nakatomi Plaza. For all of us did he yield his life, that Americans can debate endlessly whether Die Hard was a Christmas movie. We pause in silent regard, and utter the respectful invocation Yippie Ky Yah. We leave the rest of the quote aside, partially for tender minds that might be corrupted, and also because the "th" is really difficult for German people.

They filmed that based on the work of a Frenchman, which would ordinarily be a strike against its favor, but Chuck Heston overcame this. The chick that played Nova was cool.

Rambe On by Led Zeppelin is great tune, in part because of the catchy bass lick.
To really blow your mind, listen on the Tube that is You what are called "isolated tracks", Jimmy Page is just wailing on his Harmony or whatever. It is amazing. The bass line track is also isolated, if you want to listen to bass in a vacuum. It's kinda cool!

Posted by: epador at September 07, 2024 11:21 AM (ah1Jo) The Week In WokeA Minnesota "Teacher of the Year" Award Winner has just gotten another award-- an arrest for raping a 14-year-old student. Abdul Jameel Wright was named Minnesota Teacher of the Year in 2016. That same year, he allegedly began a sexual relationship with a then 14-year-old student that lasted nearly a year; Wright was 30 at the time. According to a summons filed in Hennepin County District Court late last week, Wright, who is also known as "AB," has been charged with one felony count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a minor age 13 to 15 while in a position of authority. The allegations against Wright, now 38, surfaced earlier this spring in a public social media post by a woman who accused Wright of "taking a little girls (sic) innocence." Following the spread of the social media post, St. Louis Park High School sent an internal email to staff stating that a teacher had been placed on leave following allegations of "serious misconduct," and that an investigation was underway. Wright was not named by the school in the email, but was employed as a language arts teacher, according to the school's online staff directory at the time and his LinkedIn bio.Let's make sure teachers have more "private little chats" about sex and blowjobs and anal with the children they have authority over. Another woke corporation whose customer base largely leans right is facing a boycott over its DEI and groomer activities under pressure. The power toolmaker Stanley Black and Decker is the latest firm to face a boycott from conservatives over its diversity-hiring policies and support for LGBTQ causes. Consumers' Research, an advocacy group, has panned the Connecticut-based firm for picking suppliers based on their race, and funding LGBTQ lobbying in Washington. The company, which is behind such brands as DeWalt, Black and Decker, and Stanley, joins a growing list of firms to come under pressure from conservatives over policies seen by many as 'woke.' ... 'Companies need to focus on serving their customers, not woke politicians.' The $24 billion company did not immediately comment on the claims. The boycott comes at a tough time for the toolmaker, which has seen its stock value sink in recent months, as it shutters plants and distribution hubs in a bid to trim $2 billion in costs and turn a profit. ... A report from Consumers' Research highlights controversial DEI efforts at the company. They include policies to increase business with minority suppliers by at least 10 percent by 2025, donations of $10.5 million to 'racial equity' groups, and compulsory 'equity training' sessions for bosses. It highlights comments from the firm's diversity chief Joe Simms, who has spoken of DEI as an 'unwavering focus' for the firm and one of its 'foundational commitments.' Executives also teamed up with the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ advocacy group, and took part in its 'equality index,' which ranks firms on how friendly they are to gay and transgender staff. The report includes filings that show the company spent $280,000 on lobbying lawmakers for the Equality Act, which would 'enshrine in federal law that biological males can participate in women's sports.' The Mail surveyed the company's website and social media channels and found repeated references to its DEI work and support for 'inclusive' workspaces and celebrations of Pride month. ![]() You'll be happy to know that the the leftwing propaganda media is finally taking an interest in the takeovers of apartment buildings by the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragau. In fact, they're reporting that the other immigrants being extorted/trafficked by Tren de Aragau say it's racist to spread these rumors that their slavers are involved in human trafficking! Residents at an Aurora apartment complex are speaking out against the narrative that their building is being taken over by a Venezuelan gang -- saying it isn't true. Tuesday, tenants at the Edge At Lowry apartments held a press conference to dispute claims about gangs taking over the complex ever since viral videos allegedly showing the gang, Tren de Aragua, breaking into apartments have been shared by people all over the world. Many tenants tell Denver7 they do not believe the gang is present at the complex. They said the most significant problems they've dealt with are the uninhabitable conditions of the building they're living in, a story Denver7 covered a few weeks ago. One tenant, who is from Venezuela, said he now feels targeted since the rumors began circulating.Oh perfect, you found an illegal alien from Venezuela to tell us that the "rumors" about these other illegal aliens from Venezuela are all lies told by the White Man. "I'm scared to go out. They're accusing all of us at the complex of being in gangs, and this is completely false," tenant Oscar Rojas said in Spanish. "It's completely false. There are good people here, families. There's always going to be crime everywhere."So maybe there's a little organized crime activity here, no big deal! It didn't bother us much in Venezuela, why are you gringos making a big fuss? I totally trust illegal aliens living in an apartment building taken over by criminal illegal alien gangs when they tell me they're totally okay with the levels of criminality they're seeing, and also, there's no criminality at all. Oh, and by the way, a second apartment building has been taken over by Tren de Aragau. But you know, it's a Mostly Peaceful Armed Takeover.

____ Why is it the liberals in large organizations always get away with this but a "rogue" conservative never does this under cover? What the hell does this have to do with Black and Deckers business? Can you imagine if a Fortune 500 firm had spent this kind of money on say pro-life lobbying?

Either they aren't having sex themselves, or they are so perverted already they don't know where to draw the line when explaining it. So PP is sending videos demonstrating how gays do foreplay.

Then posted it to social media as a "bank glitch" that enables you to get free money. Then a bunch of other dumbasses did it. And posted it to social media.

------ "Possible". Way back in the Cretaceous period of ATMs, one could simply punch in how much you were depositing, and put nothing in the envelope. Something like that, I know this because a kid at school did this. He was showing off his bank balance on the little receipt they give ya. Oops. One pay period at Ft. Lewis, the word came down from on nigh, that a glitch in the direct deposit disbursement meant everyone on base would be paid twice. "They are going to take it back. Don't spend it!" was the word. You'll never guess what happened. There were actually a few dumb numb nuts who .... spent the money. Oops. In retrospect it may have been a psych study on our behalf by one of the letter agencies. Or it could have been as they said. It is true some people get a little squirrely when it comes to "free" money.

The Tim Walz scandal that has yet to surface is the inordinate amount of time e and interest he took in "behind closed doors" counseling of his gender confused students when he was a teacher. I am waiting for one or more of these students to come forward and explain how "Uncle Timmy" forced them to do things that didn't clear up their disphoria but made very clear that Walz was a fucking pervert.

The metabolism helps determine how many calories the body needs.
Most individuals don't wish to exercise, but who would not like to move their body? While diets and appetite-suppressing medication can effectively scale back power intake, they often make people really feel cranky and miserable. Muscles that retailer much less lactic acid can function higher during intensive exercise because pure buffers like carnosine assist muscles stores much less lactic acid. The non-essential amino acid beta-alanine helps to delay fatigue by rising muscle carnosine levels. Raises the amount of carnosine in muscles, which may assist in easing weariness and ache. It features by decreasing inflammation, boosting blood supply to the muscles, and stopping the synthesis of molecules that trigger ache. Chlorine bleach tablets are offered at camping supply stores to purify water for drinking. Bodybuilding supplements are an important a part of the fitness journey for many people. In this weblog, we are going to explore the highest eight bodybuilding supplements for beginners. The extra exercise will also burn more calories. That further energy will permit an individual to work out Posted by: Can your metabolism speed up during adolescence? at September 07, 2024 04:08 AM (mgBe5) Dick Cheney Is Voting for Kamala HarrisI'm sure the cokehead ne'er-do-well half-tard George Bush will come toddling along shortly. How many times can this slug-like hag announce the same thing and get fresh media mentions every time?
J.D. Vance recently pointed out that Liz Cheney keeps getting richer and fatter as America gets weaker and poorer. I added the "fatter," but I feel it was implied. How does this happen? I dunno, coincidence? That must be it. Echoing the New York Times' David French, Cheney stated, "As a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this, and because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I am voting for Kamala Harris." 'This is a person whose entire career has been about sending other people's children off to fight and die for her military conflicts.' This endorsement comes two years after Republican primary voters in Wyoming overwhelmingly rejected Cheney and just days after scores of nominally Republican staffers who served under President George W. Bush, the late Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), and failed presidential candidate Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah) similarly threw in their lots with Harris. It also represents a major about-face for Cheney, who in November 2020 suggested that Harris sounded "just like Karl Marx." A month earlier, Cheney wrote, "Kamala Harris is a radical liberal who wants to raise your taxes, take away your guns and your health insurance, explode the size of our federal government and give it control over every aspect of our lives. She would recreate America in the image of what we've seen on the streets of Portland and Seattle. We won't give her the chance." Cheney told Fox News in August 2020:Meanwhile: A Hispanic California Democrat, onetime the Majority Leader in the State Senate, says "I've had enough" of the Democrat Party, and is now a Republican.... Vance responded, "A very good thing that I could say about the next presidency of Donald Trump is that he's going to make sure that people like Liz Cheney are laughed out of the Oval Office instead of rewarded." "This is a person whose entire career has been about sending other people's children off to fight and die for her military conflicts and her ridiculous ideas that somehow, we were going to turn Afghanistan -- a country that doesn't even have running water in a lot of places -- into a thriving liberal democracy," said Vance. "And for that, Liz Cheney was willing to kill thousands of your children." "I think it's the best thing in the world that she's supporting Kamala Harris," continued Trump's running mate. "Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney make very, very interesting partners. They get rich when America's sons and daughters go off to die. They get rich when America loses wars instead of winning wars. And they get rich when America gets weaker in the world." The gas stove thing is no small matter. The Democrat Party -- or the Democrat-Media-GOPe Regime -- is the party that will not stop f***ing with citizens, ever, on any matter, whether fundamental or trivial. It's a party of Big Government Bullies who love tormenting anyone it has under their thumb, because the thrill of making other people bend to their will is the only pleasure they take in this fallen world. Are you enjoying something? Do you cling bitterly to your outdoors sports, your guns, your religion, and your traditional morality? Well then, the Democrat Party is here to tell you you're doing it all wrong and mandate -- I mean, force you via "tough regulations and financial incentives" -- to change every aspect of your life to match that of gay heiress nepo baby Anderson Cooper. The Old Ruling class had a motto: Reign, not rule. They wanted the power, but they knew if they f***ed with the citizenry too much -- if they ruled over them -- they would revolt. So their ethos was to reign... lightly. To not piss off the peons. This New Ruling class very definitely wants to Rule, not reign. They WANT you to know they're above you. They WANT you to feel the weight of their boots on your neck. They WANT you to know they have very specific ways in which they want you to live, and if you fail to live their way, they will hound you to the ends of the earth. "That is just bad news, another reason to leave the Democratic Party," Romero added. Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones, R-San Diego, welcomed Sen. Romero to the GOP in a statement. "We are honored to have Gloria on our side as we fight to fix California," he wrote. "For anyone else who is tired of witnessing the Democrat supermajority run this state into the ground, we have a seat at our table for you, too." Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson made waves in February for making a similar decision to flip his party affiliation from blue to red. The move, he said, prompted "distraught" phone calls from some Democrats. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

12 This is fascinating. It is so obvious that their disagreement with the Trump Doctrine is based on things that have nothing to do with "threats to democracy."
But they can't articulate exactly what those threats are, and people I have discussed this with devolve into "He Said Pussy!' and other silly things. I want to hear some substantive disagreement with Trump's political Philosophy! Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo --------- Trump tore the GOPe's masks off. He revealed them as the amoral loathsome Deep State cockroaches that hate the sunlight of public scrutiny. He revealed the GOPe failure theatre on such matters as cutting the budget, reining in the bureaucracy, shutting the border, and claiming peace while putting our troops in harms way in places that were no longer important to the US (if they ever were).

My theory is that with modern warfare no longer relying on mass armies, the need to keep the populace feeling that they really run things no longer exists, which lets the oligarchs that run things let their guard down and say exactly how little the people really matter to them.
After all, if you don't need them to keep your enemies from busting up the joint and hanging your ass Mussolini-style, why bother fronting to the proles anymore? Especially when you have enough remote-control nasty to shut down any populist unpleasantness that may crop up. And also if you're on the payroll of the big expansionist country in the world under the table, well, it must really get hard to go through all that my-country-tis-of-thee baloney that you no longer believe in.

They Live was trying to point out the mind control as a pervasive subtext of culture.
That's quaint. That's old style, light touch stuff. Now there is no subtext. Everything is very forthright. "Do as you're told or pay the price," says all of our culture, every day, from every angle. It's just "get in your lockdowns and put on the masks, bitches. See how your cities are burning? That can stop as long as you don't question the election we stole. If you do, you're arrested."

Electric is good for some stuff, and especially good in bakeries where the oven is large to moderate the harshness and the bread or cake produce the moisture -- but people think because bakers use electric that it is good for home cooking where food is right under/over the harsh heating element and the air is much dryer. But most people don't know. They burn one salad in a gas oven, and think the problem is the gas and not the fact that you don't cook salad in ovens.

I'm beginning to think there might have been something that happened during that administration that they/them don't see eeeeven want the truth to come out about. Posted by: TeeJ ===== My personal guess is the Bushes and Cheneys personal relationships with Saudi royals of which a faction supported Bin Ladin and his attack on the US is what is at issue. Fox was constrained by the same ties as bin Talal, a now disgraced Saudi prince, was a big investor in News Corp the same issue. Lenin was a blood thirsty asshole but he was not far wrong that capitalists would sell the very rope used to hang them to their enemies. In the same way, the US political class became subverted by the endless streams of money returning from abroad due to the US massive trade deficits going back to post war WWII. Our political class was paid to keep the tap running for the global corporations and finance types and that destroyed our domestic industries. Treaties and uneven trade agreements did the rest of it.

That gives the left way too much credit. Our deep state is more like: 'You are ruling over us for our own good,' Winston said feebly. 'You believe that human beings are not fit to govern themselves, and therefore --' He started and almost cried out. A pang of pain had shot through his body. O'Brien had pushed the lever of the dial up to thirty-five. 'That was stupid, Winston, stupid!' he said. 'You should know better than to say a thing like that.' He pulled the lever back and continued: 'Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake.

The Left may have reached their own limits of crazy. They have Super Majorities in the California legislature they could override Newsom.
They wouldn't pass the legislation for reparations. No one could stop them but themselves. And they actually did it. Posted by: blaster California is broke and getting broker by the minute. They are a smaller version of the US federal government and one of the few states that does not require a balanced budget and allows borrowing by the state government (aside from bonds). The whole money for illegals to buy houses was to be from a government fund that is already out of money due to previous spending. It was not refilled by this current legislature. The Dems do failure theater too and this was an example of the legislature pandering.

AP - September 6, 2024, Ann Arbor, MI, 'Biden signs ‘common sense’ order prioritizing federal grants for projects with higher worker wages'
In part, "Though he wasn’t in Michigan for a campaign event, Biden spoke on his predecessor, saying that Trump would much rather “cross a picket line than walk one.” “My predecessor believed America is a failing nation,” Biden said, mentioning an oft-repeated complaint by the president about a 2020 report that Trump had referred to American war dead at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France in 2018 as “losers” and “suckers.” Trump has denied the report. “I’m glad I wasn’t there,” Biden said. “I think I would have done something. I think you would have, too.” Biden added: “He’s the sucker. He’s the loser.” Biden’s late son Beau died from cancer in 2015. The president has blamed burn pits for the brain cancer. Burn pits are where chemicals, tires, plastics, medical equipment and human waste were disposed of on military bases and were used in Iraq and Afghanistan. “I’m sorry to get emotional like that. But I miss him,” Biden said before turning his focus back to to union workers, calling them heroes."

I will Admit, I didn't vote republican, though I have been a conservative for almost all of my life, since the bombing of libya in '83, until 2000.
I voted Perot in both efforts, because FUCK THOSE GUYS, and I was in The Corps, I don't know if you have heard, and in 2000, I HATED Bush the Jr. He was a wishy washy bitch, his speech was that of a child, and stunted and failed, I can't believe he got a masters without the ability to communicate, But I'm just a guy who trained hundreds of Marines in various live influencing decisions. I was NOT going to vote in 2000, and what tipped me, was Cheney, I admit it. Cheney had the bering of a leader, unlike stumbbum Bush, I knew he favored war, that's a known factor, but so did I. I still favor war, KILL THE FUCKERS, I didn't realize that the Cheney clan favored War in "eh, lets fight." NOT A WINNING STRATEGY. I didn't vote in 2004, in 2008, the dem's let the mask slip, and I actually canvassed against obama, if you dig through the archives, I said, "If indiana turns obama because of NWI Gary, they stole Indiana, which turned out to be true, but unnecessary. If you also recall, not me, but many of us in 2008, with McCain Obama, Posted by: Wickedpinto at September 06, 2024 09:15 PM (XKj0h) 313
Many of us, including our kindly elderly host at his tender age of not quite 29, many of us had the same opinion of a McCain or Obama administration as outright indifference, UNTIL Sarah Palin, I wrote a rather decent paragraph on it at AMA, with my friend.
When the professional right turned on the right. They couldn't turn on McCain, because that would be attacking a Vet, instead they went after Palin, which was the only reason I DID vote for McCain, and then the "right" the professional right, turned on Palin, and McCain. "Why did he chose this dunce?" Posted by: Wickedpinto at September 06, 2024 09:19 PM (XKj0h) 314
Review her speach at the RNC that year. Everything she said, and supported is true. EVERYTHING! But the professional right, who just bash people, this is also the year that Allahpundit showed his stripes, they supposedly support, while giving a "on the other hand" contribution to the fucking totalitarian lefties.
I think it was mid 2007 the LiB became a thing. I am no longer an LiB. I'm a MiB. If the nation has not seen what the truth is in the once greatest nation on the planet, BTW we have only been so for about 80 years, Britain kept it up for about 300. If we can't see what is destroying us, after 16 years of LiB (Let it Burn) acquiessence? and you can't turn to "MiB" (Make it Burn) if we fail this time? Just surrender. Just surrender. Or Fight. I don't know if you have it you,k but This really is the last test of the republic gifted to us by smart people who weren't influencers. Stand by and let it burn, or take part and make it burn. If the dems win in november, fair or false, it's a demonstration of american failure. Posted by: Wickedpinto at September 06, 2024 09:24 PM (XKj0h) 315
And I'm a TRUE BELIEVER! To this day I sing the praises of the greatness of my nation, but when the moment comes we must act.
My wife hates, she's australian, I live in australia, me responding that I have a gun, just not here. "What good is that?" "When I need it, I will get it." And the MiB situation is the only time I will return to the states, other than my mothers death. Posted by: Wickedpinto at September 06, 2024 09:26 PM (XKj0h) 316

Posted by: sherlockzz at September 07, 2024 11:30 AM (fAOGR) CNN Confirms: Discord Linked to School Shooter Expressed "Frustrations with Acceptance of Transgender People," Claimed He Was "Bullied for Being Gay"It was technically illegal for me to even speculate about his motives -- only the media is permitted by law to do that -- especially if that speculation impacted one of the "disadvantaged" (actually, "greatly advantaged") Democrat client group. So I am wiping my brow in relief that yes, this is yet another teen filled with hate and hormones and whipped up by the left to kill normal people for the crime of being normal. They don't say he was trans -- just that he was very, very upset about the lack of "acceptance of trans people."Georgia school shooter Colt Gray was discovered to have had a Discord account that contained posts suggesting he was planning a mass shooting due to his grievances over the lack of trans acceptance. Gray had also researched previous school shootings, like the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting carried out by Adam Lanza as well as the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida in 2018. The posts on Discord, from 2023, referenced plans for a "future mass shooting," CNN reported. "I'm committing a mass shooting," a post read, "I'm committing a mass shooting and I'm waiting a good two to three years, and I'm ready." CNN reported that the poster then shared a picture of the gun he intended to use, before continuing to discuss the post. The reporter said that the post, attributed to Gray, was "expressing desires to target an elementary school, expressing frustrations with the treatment of transgender people."I'm very glad that the Professionals at CNN have decided to share this Forbidden News with us, so we weren't forced to continue guessing, which we're also not allowed to do. Forbidden News is forbidden for a reason, sub-peons! We should definitely keep covering this up and continue pretending there is absolutely no problem of mentally-ill Alphabet People engaging in mass shootings to express the hatred of normies the left instills in them. Hey, remember when the media whipped up a mass national panic over "incels" due to a single mass shooting? That panic continued into, and past, 2019, when the media whipped up a panic that the movie Joker might spur Dangerous Incels to commit mass shootings. Anyone think they'll be similarly whipping up one now after multiple shootings? Or will the victims be blamed? Spoiler: the victims will be blamed. Bullies get what they get! Hey media, maybe stop your endless hate-farming operations to whip up your Clients and Catspaws into seething with hatred against the out-groups? You know -- all of the incessant, panicky shrieking that if you fail to use whatever pronouns a fucked-up teenager is using this week then you're committing "Trans Genocide" and attempting to "erase" them from "existence?" Maybe given the precarious mental health of these fucked-up teenagers, charging them full of that kind of incendiary, eliminationist rhetoric might just tip them in acting as if their actual "existence" really is in danger of being "erased"? Or is it only the Non-Certified Media that needs to be cautious about its rhetoric? I am glad the father has been arrested for involuntary manslaughter for buying his fucked-up psychopathic son -- who had already been interviewed by the FBI for making terroristic threats to commit a school shooting -- the very weapon which he then used to commit the school shooting. I'm sure we'll find out he's a hard-left liberal who kinda-sorta wanted his headcase, parental-abuse psychopath to rain bloody vengeance down on the normies. he father of a 14-year-old boy accused of fatally shooting four people at a Georgia high school was arrested Thursday and faces charges including second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter for letting his son possess a weapon, authorities said. It's the latest example of prosecutors holding parents responsible for their children's actions in school shootings. In April, Michigan parents Jennifer and James Crumbley were the first convicted in a U.S. mass school shooting. They were sentenced to at least 10 years in prison for not securing a firearm at home and acting indifferently to signs of their son's deteriorating mental health before he killed four students in 2021. Colin Gray, 54, the father of Colt Gray, was charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children, Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey said at a news conference. "His charges are directly connected with the actions of his son and allowing him to possess a weapon," Hosey said. In Georgia, second-degree murder means that a person has caused the death of another person while committing second-degree cruelty to children, regardless of intent. It is punishable by 10 to 30 years in prison, while malice murder and felony murder carry a minimum sentence of life. Involuntary manslaughter means that someone unintentionally caused the death of another person.

Indeed, he doesn't even claim he was bullied in any real sense. Instead, he made vague references to "treatment of transgender people." Wtf does that mean? I'll bet almost any amount of money it means "straight men weren't interested in me sexually and neither were lesbians."

I remember when the anti-bullying stuff really started going in the mid-00s and when you delved into it, the actual ideas were hyper-specific around bullying kids solely for being gay.
Being too smart? Beat him. Too "white"? Beat him. Saying unpolitically correct things? Beat him. Because you have free speech but not from the consequences of your speech as the left put it.

I think there can be some good in psychology and this kid needed something. Unfortunately a huge part of psychology today tells the patient that they have mental or emotional problems because "someone was mean to you at some time." and then encourage the patient to dwell on all the bad things that ever happened to them. Being 29 I remember "I'm OK you're OK" by Dwyer? I even read bits of it and IIRC his book said abuse victims tend to think "you're ok, i'm flawed". Psychopaths tend to thing "I'm great, you're bad". So tell me this crazy modern trend of telling people to dwell on their hurts and blame the people who hurt their feelzs even if it was accidental is not pushing the whole population more towards psychopathy.

"Listen, if those trad Catholics weren't such a danger, the FBI would have room in their pipeline to look into stuff like this."
Odd that FBI went after the mother (or both parents?) that complained about the "tranny" raping her daughter, after he had raped another girl before. The school covered it up ... twice I guess. So if trannies "only" rape other kids, parents must accept it per the FBI. But murdering four by a gay and/or trans kid ... that is just a little over the line even for the FBI (for now). So we got THAT going for us. Posted by: illiniwek at September 06, 2024 04:25 PM (Cus5s) 145

As with Tampon Timmy, DU is aware of the developing narrative, but doesn't grasp the full issue (not mention of trans issues)
The shooter was also a victim. The kids mom has a history with drugs, dad told the cops he is bullied constantly. I feel bad for this child. Nope. Plenty of kids are brought up in bad environments and don't kill people. 14 is old enough to know between right and wrong What kind of help was Pops getting for him? Did a counselor suggest buying him a weapon as a form of therapy? Too many believe empathy is incompatible with supporting consequences for actions. It is possible to acknowledge he was handed the shit end of the stick without excusing his action. More importantly, this attack had nothing to do with being bullied. This was a brand new school for this kid. He had only attended the first time, for part of a day only, the day before he chose to shoot up the school full of STRANGERS. Nowadays, if you're the victim, it's nonstop bullying. You get it in school, you get in on the bus, and you get it online.

Posted by: bonhomme A typical sociopath (or a psychopath, they are close) does not or has little, empathy for other people. They are just incapable of having it. Some functioning sociopaths can learn to fake it or learn to exhibit some empathic qualities, but it is no mistake that sociopathic people commit these kinds of acts. Bullying, anti-social behavior, murder and other crimes. They can't see that other people are like them, or they are like other people.

It’s going to go to a federal appeals court and be knocked down as a civil rights violation. There may be some extenuating circumstances in the Crumbley case as they could potentially be viewed as accomplices. But my feeling is the statutes used to charge them were abused to get a conviction. I think the state knows that and will try and make them spend as much time in jail as a warning to others. That’s how this works.

18 Do you want a dead son or a live daughter?
--- If you don't waste all of this time on the worthless, dead end task of trying to transition them, that time could be spent on real therapy. Some of these kids need to be institutionalized to get them the best help and keep them away from innocent people. Most of you won't remember Kip Kinkle. He shot up the HS that 2 of my cousins were going to at the time. They got out just fine. But what we learned about Kip after the shooting was that his parents (who he murdered in their sleep that morning) were teachers, and he had multiple red flags leading up to the shooting. He had short story and poetry assignments, and what he chose to write about was deeply disturbing (animal abuse, torture, and murder) but they just gave him a free pass because he was a teachers kid and they just wrote him off as eclectic or unique. He was actually clinically insane. If this happened in the last few years, I bet Kip would have become a member of the trans community for about a year before committing his atrocity. Back in 1999, though being trans wasn't in style, so Kip Kinkle was just a regular crazy person and not a trans crazy person. Posted by: Lemmiwinks at September 06, 2024 04:37 PM (zzdrL) 196

Colin's mom is a real beaut.
His mother, Marcee, 43, has a lengthy rap sheet with drugs, DUI, property damage, and domestic violence arrests. Lauren Vickers, who lived next-door to the Grays in Jefferson, Georgia, said there were “problems immediately” when the Grays and their three children moved into the well-manicured neighborhood 60 miles east of Atlanta in 2022. “There were nights where the mom would lock him and his sister out the house. And they would be banging on the back door, just screaming like ‘Mom! mom! mom!’ and crying. It was absolutely devastating,” she said. Vickers said that sometimes the youngest child would come to her back yard asking for food. “No clean clothes, I’m not exaggerating.” “It was constant abuse,” she said. “It’s very, very sad.” Gray’s maternal grandfather told CNN Thursday night that he was “just a good kid” who “lived in an environment that was hostile.” Posted by: Cheri at September 06, 2024 04:40 PM (oiNtH) 205

I see nothing wrong with having a gun in the glove compartment. As long as you are in the car. Leaving it there when the car is parked, and out of your direct control is probably unwise. If you don't want to carry the gun with you when leaving the car, then have a secure lockbox or hiding place for it that will elude the smash-and-grab thieves.

Colin Gray, 54, the father of Colt Gray, was charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children, Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey said at a news conference.

"He was just a good kid, but he lived in an environment that was hostile," Charles Polhamus, Colt Gray's grandfather, told CNN. "His dad beat up on him, I mean, I’m not talking about physical, but screaming and hollering, and he did the same thing to my daughter."

Its the least I can do./ Posted by: Speller at September 07, 2024 10:25 AM (pSotA) Biden-Harris White House Is Shocked by Hamas's Brutal Execution of Hostages, and Begins to Suspect the Unthinkable -- Maybe Hamas is a Bad Actor That Actually Doesn't Want Peace at All!Check out the Big Brains of our Elites!
Biden and his top advisers were shocked after Hamas killed six hostages, among them U.S. citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, and have started to rethink the way forward in the negotiations over the deal. At the same time, Hamas' new demand to increase the number of Palestinian prisoners released as part of the deal raised even more concerns and questions among U.S. negotiators about whether an agreement is possible, U.S. officials said.Wow! These Elites! No wonder they're in charge! They have powers of cognition that are so far above those of sub-peons like us! Strom comments: We are led by fools. No doubt Bibi Netanyahu has been telling the Biden administration these things since 10/7, and they merely saw him as a right-wing warmonger who must be wrong. Surely, if only Israel made concessions to and friends with Hamas we could all come to some sort of agreement. Idiots. Yet here we are, 11 months after the most brutal day in Israeli history, and the US government is slowly realizing that Hamas are not the good guy in all this.Of course, this isn't really the Democrat Party being "fooled:" It's more that the Democrat Party, determined to change the electorate, has imported tens of millions of Newcomers from the Arab-Muslim world, and those Newcomers are pro-terrorist, so the Democrat Party is feeling out an exciting "Third Way" between the extremes of being pro-terrorism or, like the Republican fuddy-duddy racist old-thinkers, being anti-terrorist. They want to be "centrists" on terrorism. Now, that's a shift in the Biden-Harris White House's thinking. But you know whose thinking hasn't changed? The Harris-Walz ticket's. Because Tim Walz, governor of a state in which explicitly-pro-terrorist illegal alien visa-scammer Ilhan "Omar" Nur is a Representative, once again expresses his desire to support Hamas and keep them in power as a check on the cruelty of Israel.
[Walz]: Well, I think first and foremost what we saw on October 7th was a horrific act of violence against the people of Israel. They have certainly, and the vice president said it, I've said it, have the right to defend themselves and the United States will always stand by that, but we can't allow what's happened in Gaza to happen. The Palestinian people have every right to life and liberty themselves. We need to continue, I think to put the leverage on to make sure we move towards a two state solution. I think we're at a critical point right now. We need the Netanyahu government to start moving in that direction. But I think those folks who are speaking out loudly in Michigan are speaking out for all the right reasons. It's a humanitarian crisis. It can't stand the way it is. And we need to find a way that people can live together in this and we've said it and continue to say it, getting a ceasefire with the return of the hostages and then moving towards a sustainable two state solution is the only way forward.Douglas Murray just knocked down Piers Morgan for making the same claim-- that the key to "peace" is constantly mau-mauing Israel into being more "open" to peace and being willing to "compromise." With terrorist rapist and hostage-takers who shoot their hostages in the back of their heads rather than allow them to be liberated by rescuers. Douglas Murray points out that only a fraction of wars are settled by a "peace process." The majority are settled by, get this, one side winning in such a comprehensive way that the losing side is forced to come to terms and give up its own demands -- such as a "From the River to the Sea" eradication of Israel and ethnic cleansing of all Jews from the region. And note: That is best-case scenario for the Jews of Israel. Ethnic cleansing is their best hope.

A bit moor, er, more:
DOUGLAS MURRAY: But there it is again, if I can say so, Piers—it's the same thing. There’s this presumption that it’s Netanyahu who is uncompromising. We end up with this notion because Netanyahu is a democratically elected leader, so it’s assumed that some pressure can be brought to bear on him. In my view, it’s not Netanyahu who’s uncompromising—it’s Hxmas. They could have handed back the hostages last October. They could have chosen not to do any of this. I mean, they could have tried to build a state since 2005 when Israel withdrew from Gaza and handed the place over to them. Hxmas could have used the billions of dollars in aid that British, European, and American taxpayers gave them since 2006. They could have used that money to build up Gaza, to create a thriving, prosperous society. They could have made it a booming Mediterranean paradise. They could have created wealth for their people, but instead, what did they do? They built downwards instead of upwards. They constructed a tunnel network bigger than the London Underground, and they siphoned off the money, just like Yasser Arafat did before them, making themselves rich.

Because, in theory, they to some degree control the police and can "perfect" that aspect of it. The only way to stop crime is to fix everything. It's the same reason that they are more worried about the behavior of the US on an international scale than they are about actual security threats. They feel they should be able to "perfect" the US's behavior otherwise the US contributes "too much" to the chaos of the world in general. This is before we had a Deep-State-left, that is.

US says ‘urgently’ seeking information on death of American in West Bank AFPSeptember 6, 2024 11:37 am A Turkish-American female activist was shot dead Friday during a demonstration against Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank town of Beita, where the army acknowledged opening fire. Turkey identified the woman as Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, saying she was killed by “Israeli occupation soldiers” and condemning her “murder”. The mayor of Beita and the Palestinian news agency Wafa also reported that she was killed by Israeli soldiers. Eygi, in her mid-20s, arrived at the Rafidia hospital in Nablus “with a gunshot in the head, and we announced her martyrdom around 14:30 (1130 GMT),” hospital director Fouad Nafaa told AFP. US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller called Eygi’s death “tragic,” without immediately assigning responsibility. He said Washington was “urgently gathering more information about the circumstances of her death and will have more to say as we learn more”. Eygi was a member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), a pro-Palestinian organisation, and was in Beita to take part in a weekly demonstration against Israeli settl Posted by: andycanuck (CEzQx) at September 06, 2024 03:19 PM (CEzQx) 101

Responding to Friday’s incident, Hamas said in a statement it strongly condemned “the crime committed by the Zionist occupation army” resulting in Eygi’s death.
“We consider this heinous crime to be an extension of the deliberate crimes committed by the occupation against foreign activists in solidarity with the Palestinian people, which have claimed the lives of dozens, most notably Rachel Corrie, who was crushed under the tracks of an occupation bulldozer in 2003,” the statement said. Corrie, 23, was killed in Gaza while she was acting as a human shield with a group of activists from the International Solidarity Movement to prevent troops from demolishing a Palestinian home. Hussein al-Sheikh, secretary general of the Palestine Liberation Organisation executive committee, said on X that he extended condolences to Eygi’s family. “Another crime added to the series of crimes committed daily by the occupation forces, which require that their perpetrators be held accountable in international courts,” he said.

Biden and his top advisers were shocked after Hamas killed six hostages, among them U.S. citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, and have started to rethink the way forward in the negotiations over the deal.
The only appropriate answer to Hamas taking American hostages, let alone killing them, is to make war on Hamas. A sane administration would have given Hamas 24 hours to turn over every American hostage unharmed and if that was not met begun level bombing Gaza with a notice this would only stop when those hostages were returned unharmed.

Posted by: kallisto at September 06, 2024 03:17 PM (dCxaZ) ____ Correct and overlooked. That was a "peace" rave at the edge of Gaza. I'll bet at least 35% of the ravers weren't Jews. Hamas just mowed in there like an insane bloodlusting shark in a feeding frenzy. There's no way they could tell Jew from Muslim or anything else.

Someone who thinks our beliefs are stupid, but that the culture that grew out of them is great. I've seen him explicitly reject theism as irrational. Note that his attitude is one shared by Dawkins (now), but which was clearly rejected, repeatedly, by C S Lewis. I'll grant he is smart, but I've never found his positions congenial or quite convincing. Attacking the Left, I think he is.

I like the ancient Assyrian method of transporting and dispersing hostile peoples within their territory.
The best outcome for the Fakeastinians and Israel is for the passive population of Gaza (especially the youth) to be transported to a region far away from Gaza where their links and collective memory are broken. Otherwise it’s just wasted effort now when the new generation of terrorist weeds growing in that soil spring up in ten to fifteen years. Is that “ethnic cleansing”? Yup.

If the people in Gaza had put half as much effort into not only rebuilding their land but improving it and themselves over the past 60 years they could've been a nice little beach city, a cool, fashionable, resort for leftists everywhere.
The entire Western world, and Muslims, would have poured money into the place to help them build something to be proud of. Gaza could've been like Beirut before the Lebanese Civil War; "Paris of the Middle East." Instead they've spent decades developing a debilitating revanchism that only the French & Germans could love and put themselves into misery heaped upon misery due to that all-consuming goal. The International left enables them at every opportunity. All because they share a hatred of Jews/Capitalism down to their bones and pass it down like DNA generation after generation. This conflict, like WWII, only really ends with total defeat and surrender. Otherwise it will simply go on and on until somebody finally breaks out the nukes and surrender won't be a choice.

Mr. Neutra grew up on Long Island and was captain of his school’s volleyball and basketball teams.
Mr. Neutra’s parents had bonded with the family of Mr. Goldberg-Polin in recent months, in part because their sons were close in age. “We were holding on to a vision that they’re possibly together in captivity, that we’d see them come home,” said Mr. Neutra’s mother, Orna. “This is heartbreaking.

Posted by: torabora at September 06, 2024 05:02 PM (zTDQn) America First Legal Sues Every County in Arizona to Force Them, as the Law Requires, to Remove All Illegal Aliens from the Voter Rolls![]() Judge Juan Merchan decided to postpone former President Trump's sentencing in New York v. Trump until after the November presidential election. Trump's sentencing date is now scheduled for Nov. 26. The original date was set for Sept. 18. "The public's confidence in the integrity of our judicial system demands a sentencing hearing that is entirely focused on the verdict of the jury and the weighing of aggravating and mitigating factors free from distraction or distortion," Merchan said in a letter Friday.I can't wait 'til Alvin Bragg, Merchan, "Tish" James, and the judge who oversaw the "business crimes" prosecution learn that political prosecutions GO BOTH WAYS. They need to be investigated by the DOJ for conspiracy to Defraud the People of the US of an election (that's the same charge the DOJ slaps Trump and J6 defendants with), and need to go to jail when -- not if -- they lie about contacts with Biden's DOJ and strategists from the Democrat Party. I will not be one of the Soft Sisters whining that Trump must be "above it all" and "restore norms." I will be one of the people demanding that those who attempted to rig an election through lawfare experience the tender mercies of lawfare themselves. On to the headline story: America First Legal is suing every single county in Arizona to force them, very much against their will, to take proven illegal aliens off the voter rolls. The Democrat Party, which is all about "protecting our precious democracy," is determined to keep illegal aliens on the rolls. Not that they'd vote or anything! Heaven forfend! They just want their names on the voter roll as... I don't know, like an "Honorary Voter" status, maybe? Via Twitchy: See the thread for screencaps of relevant caselaw and documents. I'll be omitting all that here. Here's a fun wrinkle: by removing the case to federal court, Maricopa gave America First Legal the right to sue every county in the state to compel the action to remove illegal aliens from the voter rolls. America First Legal's announcement is here. Congress needs to pass -- or they think they need to pass -- a continuing budget resolution to prevent a shut-down. Mike Johnson has agreed, but he's adding the SAVE Act, which demands voter identification in federal elections, as part of the bill. Chuck Schumer keeps saying that Johnson can't do that, but won't say why such an obviously-necessary provision is so hateful to the Voter Fraud Left. Oops, I guess I gave it away. Spoiler alert. Weaselly Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and his refusal to say why he opposes a House bill that would include a requirement of proof of citizenship to register to vote, which is bipartisan.When asked whether he would support it -- and having it pointed out that five Democrat House members voted for the SAVE Act back in July -- Schumer began spamming out crap about "poison pills." Look, Speaker Johnson should learn from the past, you can only keep the government fund[ed] in a bipartisan way. You can't have a group of Republicans, particularly led by right-wing, hard-nosed Republicans who don't even represent the whole Republican Party, put together a proposal with all kinds of poison pill legislation in it and then say, this is what has to pass. That bill may not even pass the House. I think there are some Republicans who might vote against it.Mike Miller of RedState points out: Um, Chuck? The House passed a nationwide proof of citizenship bill -- the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act -- with a 221-198 vote on July 10, with 216 Republicans and five Democrats voting for its passage. Schumer again said that he would block any such bill, but continues to not say why: Schumer claims "if you're not a citizen, you can't vote." But you can vote as a non-citizen, Chuck -- many do. They're not allowed to, but they do. Because you've allowed them to. Rick Scott declares that if the government shuts down, it's because Chuck Schumer wants illegal aliens to continue illegally voting. You'll never, ever guess which Republican is allying himself with Chuck Schumer to block the SAVE Act from being added to the funding bill. I'll give you a hint: He has no chin, he's paid by China, and sometimes he glitches publicly for 20 or more second straight. While there is bipartisan agreement that there will likely need to be a continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government funded past Sept. 30, House conservatives and a Democrat-led Senate are headed for a showdown amid efforts on both sides regarding barring noncitizens from voting. And Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's name is being reported as being against adding the stricter voting requirement measure to the funding bill. "McConnell staffers have urged conservatives in the Senate and the House to keep the precedent of passing clean short-term-funding bills and argued that using a potential shutdown to try to score political points is dangerous before the election, sources said," according to Axios. "Their involvement in this latest push shows he's not taking a back seat in high-level negotiations even though he plans to step down as leader after the election," the outlet added.

FWIW, not a lot, I have changed my mind. Trump is going to shock the world again, overcome the cheat for real this time, and win. I've seen what he's doing and I really think, despite my inclination to hate myself for thinking it, it's going to happen. They screwed up and don't know it yet. Not many know what they're doing wrong, but I have seen it, Trump has certainly seen it, and I think it's enough to throw the balance to him. And just like in 2016 he's going to make the impossible look easy again. Fuck I even hate writing it. Posted by: ... at September 06, 2024 02:13 PM (uujoW) 35

1) ace I assume you won't be holding your breath for retaliatory prosecutions? Actually they wouldn't be retaliatory, they'd be justified action against corrupt abuse of the judicial system. But still, doubt you'll be seeing any.
2) Note the (utterly routine) delusional idiocy of McConnell's statement - "to score political points". Preventing massive illicit voting is, you see, a "political point". Not a foundational, definitional component of any system warranting respect or confidence. More importantly, recall that not that long ago it was unimaginable a major party would take the absurd stance the Dems are on all election integrity issues - now, it's literally a political nothingburger. The electorate is that far gone. 3) It appears AZ's degradation extends beyond the poisonous, stupid McCain machine and its fanatics. Which tracks with what we see with much of the GOP electorate. 4) So what's the streak now for school shootings involving "trans" mental illness? The last 6 in a row, or something?

The public will see incriminating evidence about Trump shortly before the election. What a Difference a Judge Makes.
Jack Smith told Judge Tanya Chutkan that his opening brief would mention secret grand jury evidence that was not disclosed in the latest indictment of former President Trump. That’s an important development, as this means that the public will see potentially incriminating evidence about the GOP candidate for President shortly before the election. In addition, Judge Chutkan ruled that the issue of Presidential immunity will be fully briefed on Jack Smith’s timetable – which is before the election. MSM: "Meanwhile...Walz drinks shakes through a straw for gods sake. I think we know what the bigger crime is here" Trump deserves a "Comey moment", not to mention Willie Horton! Cop killer granted clemency by Trump is convicted in Florida of attacking his wife (link to Florida news report) Rest assured Kamala Harris KNOWS of this and will use it against tRump when the moment is right. She is experienced enough to nail his ass with the pardon he gave to a killer of a policeman who was convicted of strangling his wife!

Know your opposition:
My understanding of the high IQ (~75) Lefty position on this. - Voter ID is useless because of mail in (Well, you would need ID to register and signature matching so -- FALSE) - Republicans only vote in person because Trump told them (FALSE) - Republicans really want to suppress Democrat votes by eliminating mail in (TRUE! We want to suppress Democrat fraud votes by 3rd parties voting for illegals, dead, and non voters. We want to suppress vote brokering schemes (harvesting)) I bring this up because Leftys have really convinced themselves that the MAGA Right is trying to steal the election by preventing their lazy voters from going to the polls.

Aren't NGOs and others already signing up millions of illegals, at places they gather, like their emergency housing, or food banks, whatever? I'd read that a month or so ago.
Why is actively registering illegals not a crime? Will the Venezuelan gangs get in on the ballot harvesting game? But Johnson will likely crater, and 5-10M illegal votes will be magically "harvested" without having a valid signature or address ... seems all too likely.

"I will not be one of the Soft Sisters whining that Trump must be "above it all" and "restore norms." I will be one of the people demanding that those who attempted to rig an election through lawfare experience the tender mercies of lawfare themselves."
That would be the worst possible outcome, even worse than a Harris "victory" given how much that would radicalize so many. If Trump wins, which seems likely now, he needs a USAG willing to try and imprison the likes of Garland, Weismann, Comey, Brennan, Mayorkas, Swalwell, Cheney, etc. Otherwise, the lesson learned will be they can get away with raw totalitarianism, which as of now seems to be the case.

I feel like the only way we're going to get some level of honesty in elections is if the SC steps in, but I'm not holding my breathe.
They could outlaw ballot harvesting, mail in voting, make states clean up their voter rolls of non-citizens, etc etc and be on pretty strong Constitutional grounds. Or we can just let lower Democrat judges do everything they can to make honest elections impossible. FWIW, I've told this story before, but people I know here that work on campaigns and in law enforcement have told me this is where voter fraud is real and verified. Non-citizens voting.

My position on this:
We screwed the pooch when the country allowed - electronic voting (hard to eliminate now because of access for "disabled" and would require intelligent systems design but the Left will sue sue sue to make it mandatory. This is a big one because the ***registration*** files are electronic and that tells them what votes to manufacture, mailing address,.... This is the heart of their cheat machine.) - mail-in and early voting. (This eliminates any oversight or chain of custody) - Centralized vote counting. (See above. We put voting in hands of inner city fraud machines. This is another big problem.) - Gov paid vote watchers. (How the hell did this get allowed? They are the last people we can trust. They hire their party to screw conservatives.) - Dirty voter roles. (A secondary problem. Fix the above items please. With ID and in person voting, dead people have a harder time voting.)

Cats have pretty good memories for things that are important to them, but I don't know if Sophia would remember her, or vice versa. I'd suppose, though, that if the mother and kitten-then-cat continue living toether, they could be good friends. Just not the parent-child relationship we think of.

They screwed up and don't know it yet. Not many know what they're doing wrong, but I have seen it, Trump has certainly seen it, and I think it's enough to throw the balance to him. And just like in 2016 he's going to make the impossible look easy again. Fuck I even hate writing it.

These election reform actions are not only meant to address the substantial abuses PRE-election, but are also meant to lay the groundwork for the POST-election lawfare conflagration to follow. No "last-minute" shenanigans will go unnoticed and unchallenged. 3 AM shutdowns and restarts in county and state election boards will be detected and protested instantly. 2020 was a certification rout because the GOP was too complacent and accommodating with an opponent ready, willing, and able to win at any cost to the constitutional liberties of the people. The Dems will be no less ruthless this go-around.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison The awful secret is almost all of those lawsuits are successful if they persist. The federal law is clear--all voter registration files have to be periodically purged. Part of the reason the Dems runs continuing voter registration programs is to replace any floating non existent voter pools so they can execute ballot fraud. These same critters are also used in voter harvesting and petition/initiatives drives. Sometimes even for GOP candidate which can cause issues as a certain GOP candidate for MI governor race found out. He paid them and they double crossed him by giving him invalid signatures.

Plus his lame music columns are useless wankery by someone that obviously is a poseur. Same as Podhoretz jr, Goldberg, Jay whatshisname, etc. of the NR crew.

== Part of the reason the Dems runs continuing voter registration programs is to replace any floating non existent voter pools so they can execute ballot fraud. These same critters are also used in voter harvesting and petition/initiatives drives. Sometimes even for GOP candidate which can cause issues as a certain GOP candidate for MI governor race found out. He paid them and they double crossed him by giving him invalid signatures. Posted by: whig at September 06, 2024 02:45 PM (kW+z9) Nicole Shanahan mentioned part of the problem they had with getting *on* ballots was some fake-ass commie (my words) registration orgs doing exactly that, so they had to go back and get even more signatures to make sure they had enough valid ones.

I appreciate that the parties like this uniparty bribery buffet they have going on. The problem is that they've gotten so stupid and lazy they've painted themselves into a corner.
And I think Johnson might have a bit more stones this time, because he got burned on the last deal, and it appears after the election the House will be more Freedom Caucus/MAGA and he will get the same deal McCarthy got. Dem polling is cratering - and the NRC is no longer controlled by the Turtle - it is controlled by Trump. I expect democrat election day tricks. I also expect a bigger response to those tricks. The dems/uniparty are on the wrong side of immigration, voting reform, DEI, etc. It's getting too big to control. Harris is not strong enough at the top to carry this, in fact she is beginning to add her own wait. It's beginning to feel like a Trump 300+ EC total. The dems cannot even lie well anymore. Posted by: Black JEM at September 06, 2024 03:03 PM (GZYu7) 251
Driscoll's pretty slippery about linking NeverTrumpers, sometimes going back ten years or more to find an old article by Jonah Goldberg or some other NR twit, as if what they wrote is more cogent, interesting and relevant than a dozen new articles by contemporary writers. I basically consider these to be pity links, or links among friends, but providing oxygen to people who are now ideological enemies of the Right, under any circumstances, is annoying. Ed's also possibly the laziest co-blogger out there, cutting and pasting acres of text from other people, instead of just offering a link and maybe a brief comment. And he keeps putting up the same tiresome tweets from Jim Treacher and IowaPundit that are now years old, as a sort of coda to the post. And I'm talking pretty much every single day, sometimes more than once per day.

On the Harris thread.
The thing about a candidate not stating their position over and over and over is that unless they say what they are going to do, how can you trust them? The idea is that if a candidate says "I will not ban fracking" 1000x, then there is no political cost to them if they ban fracking. It is very hard and very costly for politicians to reneg. (Barry on gay marriage, Bush on "no new taxes," and a few other examples.) so they are loath to do it. Harris is running a campaign WITH NOT CAMPAIGN COMMITMENTS. For her first term!

St. Louis City does not, indeed, reside in an official county, and therefore... interesting piece of trivia, if you were born in St. Louis City like I was, no official entities today will accept your original birth certificate as valid, because it's not from a county.
