Top Story

The DOJ is seeking to break up Google, or rather to chip off a very small part of it. (AP News)

They want to break off the Chrome browser, which has multiple competitors, including some like Brave which use the same open-source core and behave virtually identically.

What this is expected to achieve is unclear. It would break Google's direct influence over the browser, but so would people switching to Brave or Vivaldi.

They also want to prevent Google from making Google Search the default search engine in Android, which is something we've been through before with browsers and achieves basically nothing.

Experts are freaking out, because that is what experts do:
"It is probably going a little beyond," Syracuse University law professor Shubha Ghosh said of the Chrome breakup. "The remedies should match the harm, it should match the transgression. This does seem a little beyond that pale."
He should see my proposal, which involves Tasmanian devils.
A Google employee union says, isn't there someone you forgot to ask? (The Verge)

Tech News

Ubuntu Linux has a decade-old bug in the needrestart tool that lets local users gain root access. (Bleeping Computer)

This is bad, but it doesn't allow remote hackers to do anything directly. It does give them a way to completely take over your system if they are already logged in, though.

To fix it, edit the file /etc/needrestart/needrestart.conf

It will have a line containing

#$nrconf{interpscan} = 0;

Find that line, and delete the # to activate it. This has been the recommended configuration since 2022 but doesn't seem to have been adopted.

Or just apt upgrade needrestart
Microsoft didn't think people would actually want to play Flight Simulator 2024. (Tom's Hardware)

The servers that deliver the data stream have been overloaded and crashed entirely at least once. Since you can't simply download the game once and play it, that makes it more or less unplayable:[quote>Our editors at Tom's Hardware attempted to install the game yesterday - two of our editors managed to hit around 70% before the installation failed, and one editor managed to install the game but could only access the main menu. So, unfortunately, we'll have to postpone our review of MSFS 2024 until Microsoft's game services are actually working.[/quote>Nice work, Microsoft.

The OneXGPU 2 is an external GPU for laptops and mini-PCs with Thunderbolt, USB4, or OCuLink. (Hot Hardware)

It contains a Radeon 7800M laptop CPU, which is the 7800 XT desktop chip cut down to 12GB of RAM and a 192-bit memory bus (and also cut down from 265W to 180W).

It also serves as a docking hub, with two USB ports, Ethernet, a micro-SD slot, and an M.2 slot in addition to the upstream USB4 and OCuLink ports and the three video outputs.

And... Basically, it works.

25 Good morning.

We’re getting a fair amount of rain here in the north sacramento valley, but it’s not the apocalyptic bomb cyclone as prophesied. 3.2inches in 15hrs, so it’s definitely a soaker. So far the wind isn’t really a thing.

I was on the front porch last night at about 8pm and saw what appeared to be a transformer failure two poles down from my abode - a moderately bright sphere of amber light followed by a popping sound - happened three more time in rapid succession. PG&E crew rolled up 30 minutes later, and 20 minutes after that power was restored.

Both felines are doing well: Stirling is curled up on a paper bag from Whole Foods on the floor, and Dagny is thinking Deep Cat Thoughts atop the kitchen counter. I used to insist cats not get on the counter at any time, but I gave up long ago. Easier to clean the counter than chase the cat.

29 I have a refurbished Dell laptop that I bought on Amazon. Its ok but has 'oh, that's why its 'refurbished'. The keyboard has some keys that don't work. I've been using a spare keyboard. The other problem is, at times, it just stops responding to commands. The mouse will move around the display but clicking does nothing, the keyboard is ignored. The only way to turn it off is to just hit the power button. I'm wondering of the laptop keyboard and the usb keyboard are conflicting. I don't think it's Linux Mint. I think it's a hardware issue. Not a major thing, I still have this laptop which Microsoft is going to stop updating next year (Win10). I hate Microsoft.

[Cadillac Ranch, Amarillo, Texas.]

Good evening Garbage Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. So it is written, so it shall be done.

Pull your belts tight, secure all valuables, and keep your hands and feet inside at all times. This is the Wednesday night ONT.

***

Chuck Norris does not read books. He wears them down until get gets the information he wants.

Chuck Norris frequently donates blood. Just never his own.

Chuck Norris does not breathe. He holds air hostage.

When Chuck Norris was born, the only person who cried was the doctor. Never slap Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table because he only recognizes the element of surprise.

Chuck Norris was an only child...eventually.

Chuck Norris has a grizzly bear rug in his bedroom. It is not dead. It is just too scared to move.

Chuck Norris once kicked a donkeys chin. Its descendants are called giraffes.

Chuck Norris did not dial the wrong number. You answered the wrong phone.

There are no Chuck Norris jokes. Only Chuck Norris facts.

***

One of the most famous moments of college football took place on this date (November 20) in 1982:

***

Poll question informed by personal observations over the past two weeks: How early can Christmas decorations emerge?

1) The minute Halloween ends, full speed ahead. Deck the halls, convert the radio station formats, put up the lights, and dial up the advertising.

2) Give it two weeks to put away Halloween and enjoy fall colors. Then move gently and gradually and start sprinkling glimpses of Christmas. Be careful not to overshadow Thanksgiving.

3) Celebrate Thanksgiving and then release Santa and his elves for Christmas.

4) Never take Christmas decorations down. Problem solved.

5) Bah humbug. Never put up decorations. Problem solved.

***

I have not been able to figure out whether this is real or not. For ONT purposes, the answer does not matter.

The back seat of an Apache helicopter? Seems like a Chinook would be more comfortable but maybe you work with what is available.

As the maintenance personnel approached the chopper, which is armed with a 30mm cannon and Hellfire missiles, realised that the rotors on the helicopter were swaying up and down and strange noises were coming from inside.
The crew, who had been on their way to fit rain covers over the war machine following its service, got closer and realised to their disbelief that two people were crammed into the rear cockpit of the two seater aircraft having sex. Two drunk soldiers caught having sex in Apache helicopter.

***

The Horde Might Know Things:

The sign below and accompanying scale models are located in the North Carolina Racing Hall of Fame (near Charlotte). As the sign says, the museum would like help learning more about the two model cars in their collection. Does anyone in the Horde know or know someone who does? Tried on the Hobby Thread without success, so now time for ONT power.

12 I was at Cadillac Ranch 2 Saturdays ago.

Not only are the Cadillacs spray painted, but the access road, jersey barriers, and dumpsters are as well. Very chaotic artistic. My brother took lots of pictures.

A street vendor trailer sells the spray paint and memorabilia. The site is just off of an interstate in Amarillo.

13 Reddit is veeeeeery concerned that once all the illegals are deported by literally Hitler, the price of food will increase. Oh so now they’re worried about inflation. But the past 4 years that saw Fox price double was no biggie.

And yeah if millions of illegals really are deported (I’m skeptical it will be millions) the price of things will go up. Including food. They’re not wrong. But their sudden consternation about it is hilarious.

14 Sorry I'm late, the hinge on the pantry door was squeaky, so I went to get the WD-40 to spray in it, but I forgot that I used up all the WD-40 while I was working on the oscillating neuro-scintilator last week, so I had to go to the hardware store to pick up a new can. When I cranked up the ol' Firebird, I noticed that the significant other had come home with the gas tank at "E." Again. I texted her to express my disappointment, and she said to get some celery and a box of Tater Cremes while I was out. "But the market is on the other side of town from where I am going." She responded with the Nike slogan. Okay, I filled up the gas tank, picked up the celery and Tater Cremes and came home. I went to put the Tater Cremes in the pantry....

SQEEEAK

Damn! I forgot the WD-40. The hell with it, I just spritzed the stupid hinge with some cooking spray. Problem solved.

17 From Hagerty.... Regarding the Mazda 323 GTX's

From this dusty swirl of cutthroat competition was born the Mazda 323 GTX, by far the rarest flavor of the Japanese brand’s plucky two-door 323 hatchback (called the Familia in Japan). Imported to the United States for the 1988 and ’89 model years, the 323 GTX combined turbos, all-wheel drive, and a race-ready chassis into a rally package like Mazda had never produced. And yet, people forgot the GTX in the intervening decades since it was last offered for sale. That’s a shame—this hot hatch’s rarity, performance cred, and period styling would make a quirky and rewarding addition to any collection.

The catch? Finding one is tough, as only 1243 examples ever made it across the Pacific to settle in American garages, and many of them were treated… vigorously.

24 Honestly there are so many moving parts that its hard to predict exactly what will happen if we can deport them all - You'll have increased wages and jobs that will need to be done by someone (looking to empty the welfare rolls here too) increased prices since they can't be paying illegals slave wages, reduced demand due less people.

Not sure how it will shake out but I voted on the premise that I'm damn ready to find out.

I was more focused on SOTA, but the area where I'm vacationing is pretty flat so I went to a state park.

And then they went to work. They put up the tree and decorated it. Put out all the Christmas decorations all over the house. Put out the presents. Hung the stockings. Did everything. And when my sister and I came down the next morning it was frigging magic. Santa brought everything, even the tree. I could never figure out why my dad kept dozing off on the couch.

I had the best parents.

People have some reasons for putting up Christmas decorations early.

We had Christmas decorations up early, inside and outside because our Marine had leave and wouldn't be home for Christmas.

Personally, I don't care when people put up their decorations. We have worse problems to be concerned about.

Actually, you fixed it *better* than you would've with the ol' WD.

See, WD-40 is neither an oil or a lubricant. That it exhibits such qualities is but a short-term artifact of the "carrier" fluid, which is the base of it's Water Displacing formula.

Oh, and as a bonus? Spray an old tee shirt down with WD-40, and wrap your favorite, old, blued handgun in it before you store it away. You'll come back to find a dulled, mottled, and utterly ruined finish on what used to be a gun to be proud of.

Buy either name brand lubricating oils. Or, one quart of Mobile One, and have all your gun and household lubricating needs filled for a lifetime.

At least, not if you use the proper day. It is not 3/14. That would be merely 0.2142857. And 14/3 would be too much, at 4.667.

The true Pi Day is 22/7, at 3.14.

Depending on the time of day, it takes an hour just to drive from one side of Houston to the other. Katy can be another hour. San Antonio 3.5 hours from Katy. San Antonio isn't even 1/2 way to Amarillo. On the way to San Antonio you'll notice these two little hills. If you look North and South from I-10 you'll notice they go off into the distance.

If you look at a satellite photo of TX, you'll see this is the edge of a giant impact crater which predates the Rocky Mountains. The western edge of the crater was obliterated when the Mountains formed. The center of the crater looks like it is in the Midland - Odessa area.

253 The McDonald's in Tucson no longer have people take your and your payment - you have to use their self-serve kiosks. The whole experience is kind of what I think a drug house would be like but with semi-filthy bathroom as opposed to a shrubbery around the corner.

Meanwhile around the corner all the In-N-Outs are sparking, have 2 people taking orders and payments, and bazillion worker bees making great fast food. Plus, if you know where to look bible references.

Take what you may from this.

For several years I volunteered with Catholic Charities in a southern town. We did a huge Christmas drive for needy families. It takes ALOT of planning and organization for an event like that. We would start working on the event late summer. We served 200 families and provided toys, clothes and a full Christmas dinner. Almost all of the families were POC. We would get complaints saying "we don't want white people food". Really, we provided your family with a turkey, ham and many of the usual Christmas dinner items.

Sometimes you can't win.

263 233 It would take 9 hours to drive to Amarillo from Houston.

Depending on the time of day, it takes an hour just to drive from one side of Houston to the other. Katy can be another hour. San Antonio 3.5 hours from Katy. San Antonio isn't even 1/2 way to Amarillo. On the way to San Antonio you'll notice these two little hills. If you look North and South from I-10 you'll notice they go off into the distance.

If you look at a satellite photo of TX, you'll see this is the edge of a giant impact crater which predates the Rocky Mountains. The western edge of the crater was obliterated when the Mountains formed. The center of the crater looks like it is in the Midland - Odessa area.

Part of that was cooler-running engines, leaded fuel, and no catalytic converters. On short runs, mufflers would become wet with condensed water inside, and partially-burned fuel would dissolve in it, forming a weak acid, that eventually ate through the metal. A long road trip, say 20-30 miles, would heat the muffler up enough to drive off all the moisture.

Some of the people around have told them we can tell your home is a home full of love and fun.

It's all about the kids. We're only young once.

The girls always want to decorate the tree. We have pizza and gifts for the kids.

341 WD40 also plays hell with some varieties of stainless steel. Ed Harris told the tale years ago on the old Fidonet Firearms group. He was QC manager at Ruger at the time and they had a spate of barrel failures of stainless revolvers. In one case, the barrel actually snapped off when a deputy hit a bad guy with his gun.
It turned out that a machinist had ran out of the specified cutting oil on the machine that formed the threads on the barrel where it screws into the frame and had substituted WD40. The residue corroded microflaws into major cracks. Huge recall.
Incidentally, I still use the original recipe "Ed's Red" published there to clean my fireams.

You're a celebrity now... The rules are different for celebrities. I know it. I've been there. I've been a celebrity. I used to be a bigger celebrity. But let me tell you, you're not being handled right. This is not political news coverage. This is celebrity status. You need handlers. You need to understand what you're doing. You need to understand the attitude of the media toward celebrities.

And I think about this in relation to Trump, who seems to understand celebrity media rather well though he seems to get it himself instead of needing handlers.

You're thinking about an early-mid '60's Pontiac Tempest. Engine in front, Transmission in back. Large diameter fiberglass driveshaft, in between.

The Ford Tempo was a late 80s front-wheel-drive car, one size down from it's styling inspiration, the Taurus. One size up, from the Escort.

Usually, quite reliable to reach 100k mi. Guesswork and sorcery, thereafter. Driving experience best described as "coma-inducing". It was a vehicular appliance, but it lacked the soul of a CAR.

Old cars did wear out and fall apart much quicker. Peak car was reached with the Panther platform. The good things about old cars combined with the good things about newer cars. Its all about the benjamins though.. Just think, there's no reason why we couldn't have a 65 Chevy Impala that wouldn't rust out, get 25mpg on the freeway, have the equivalent power of an old big block, need hardly any maintainance besides oil changes and brakes occasionally, and last 250-300k.

Posted by: Jordan61

It would appear they have much bigger outages to clear up before they get to our little area. PSE outage map shows the Eastside got hammered.
----------------------------
It was a big nothingburger in the South Puget Sound, although closer to the Cascades there were a lot of downed lines and power outages. Very unusual wind pattern, strong winds from the EAST due to an inland high pressure system spilling over the mountains towards a hurricane-level low pressure system off the coast. Areas in valleys running down from the Cascades got smacked.

That football moment happened at the '82 Cal-Stanford Big Game. Remember it well. The Snodfarts (now "Trees") thought they had the game wrapped up after a FG, kicked a squib kick that Cal proceeded to move down the field via a bunch of lateral passes, even while the Snodfart sideline and band thought the game was over and rushed the field. The final Cal ball carrier ran over a trombonist to get into the endzone. No whistle had been blown to call the play...TD Cal!! As a UC alum, the Snodfarts deserved it.

439 I loved the football and band on the field video! What fun!

I saw ZZ Top in or around 1975 while in college. With a group of guys and random girls I went to concerts with. It was wild.

We had 5th row floor seats we paid extra for in a large venue. The crowd decided to stampede the floor from the upper decks, and one of the guys grabbed me to prevent me falling off the chairs. But the concernt went on and no one cared or was stomped to death.

I am pretty sure this was the concert where there was a rattlesnake onstage in a glass cage. I hate snakes, big time. I was not hallucinating as I saw a snake and blame ZZ Top. I don't think any other concerts I went to were nuts enough to have a snake.

I will have to ask my friend if I see him in a few weeks, as I am positive there was a snake onstage, probably pretty ticked off by the vibrations.

Rock on, Morons.

The article is misleading. It's not Nestle's fault. You have to read down to see the cause of the price hike. I've edited the relevant text for accuracy and clarity:

Coffee prices have steadily gone up throughout the year because of ~~climate change induced~~ droughts in Brazil and Vietnam, the world's two largest producers of coffee beans.

Had a furnace checkout this week. It wasn't lighting off. They replaced a pressure sensor. It didn't light off. They found out it needed a gas valve instead. It didn't light off. They have to calibrate it.

Her Majesty's car was running rough. The garage said the compression on one of the cylinders was out of whack. They said we should have a full-engine check to find out what's wrong, but that the car (325,000 miles) may be at its end.

I thought I'd mow the lawn. Got out the riding mower. It kept stalling out. No gas seen in the fuel filter. Had to call to have it taken in.

I thought I'd use the walk-behind mower. I started work. It stalled out. Can't get it running again.

One of the advantages revolvers have over (most) autoloaders is that you can press them up against an adversary and still fire. While a few of the new ones have a modification to prevent this, in most cases pushing an autoloader against someone will cause it to go out of battery and refused to fire.

This was one of the reasons the French continue to use those slick Manurhin revolvers, which can also pistol whip the crap out of you.

Elon says there will be one more water landing test of Starship. Then they will try to catch it with the tower on the next test flight.

Note this is catching the Starship itself, not just the booster.

He says the remaining challenge is for a fully reusable heat shield that does not have to be refurbished after use. Go up, re-enter, and ready to go again.

"In July 2020, ten former employees of The Ellen DeGeneres Show accused DeGeneres of creating a 'toxic' on-set atmosphere of 'racism, fear, and intimidation', including failing to address executives sexually harassing female employees and making 'racist micro-aggressions and abuse' to or about employees of color, firing employees for taking medical and bereavement leave, and replacing her own crew with non-union workers during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. The allegations, which the employees made anonymously to Buzzfeed News, followed previous reports of hostile and bullying behavior, such as a former employee's allegation that DeGeneres fired him for setting up a GoFundMe page to cover medical costs not covered by their workplace health insurance."

Do you know what Answer Songs are?

I didn't until today.

I'll give you a For Instance: In 1960, The Everly Brothers released "Ebony Eyes," a boy-loses-girl-in-a-plane-crash song.

And then this followed: "After the Everly Brother released 'Ebony Eyes,' Link Wray contacted Loretta Ward and asked her to write the lyrics for an answer song for "Ebony Eyes", the result was 'Flight 1203,' which Janice and Loretta recorded as The Beverly Sisters."

Do you know of any other answer songs?

111 64 One of the advantages revolvers have over (most) autoloaders is that you can press them up against an adversary and still fire. While a few of the new ones have a modification to prevent this, in most cases pushing an autoloader against someone will cause it to go out of battery and refused to fire.

This was one of the reasons the French continue to use those slick Manurhin revolvers, which can also pistol whip the crap out of you.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at November 20, 2024 07:44 PM (llXky)

Pressing a pistol into somebody's ribcage kind of defeats the purpose of a projectile weapon. The point of having a gun is thst you can inflict damage on somebody without having to get close enough to them that they can punch, kick, headbutt, or otherwise inflict unwanted pain upon your person.

And won't she be surprised when she learns that the UK general public is actually more conservative and ethnocentric than Americans. THey temporarily have a Labor PM not because they are popular, but because of the public disgust with the spineless Tories, who are even more useless than the GOPe. IF there was a Trump-type candidate in the UK, he'd get 70% of the vote.

But alas, their terrible parliamentary system and the fascistic media prevent any decent candidates from even being considered. Only the most repulsive narcissists and Deep State collaborators even attempt to become candidates for Prime Minister. Plus, over thee, you don't vote for a person, you vote for a party, and then the party insiders choose their (and your) leader.

But what if they do? Handguns are used for clearing rooms, tunnels and a last ditch-defense of one's person.

One reason why heavy revolvers have continued to see use is because they provide better hand to hand capability if it comes to that. Handguns are basically swords with extra long reach. In close, auto-loaders can be disabled by proximity. Revolvers can as well, depending on the lock, but all of them will fire if the cylinder is unimpeded and they are pressed up against someone.

The wounds from that are also horrific.

Answer songs were a thing in the early '60s, but faded away as a genre by the late '60s.

Interestingly, answer sings are now BACK! About 50% of all rap songs are now "answer songs,
" as the various rappers and their crews get in "beefs" with other rappers, an thy release "dis" songs about each other.

Happens even a the very top -- Nikki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion have released a barrage of hate-flilled put-down sings about each other, each an "answer song" to the previous one.

(And yes, I know that rap is crap.)

" as the various rappers and their crews get in "beefs" with other rappers, an thy release "dis" songs about each other.

Happens even a the very top -- Nikki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion have released a barrage of hate-flilled put-down sings about each other, each an "answer song" to the previous one.

(And yes, I know that rap is crap.)

Blackpowder pistols were weighted to be used a clubs once they had been discharged and a heavy modern revolver will do equal service.

There's a great scene in "To Have and Have Not" where Bogart informed the Vichy French leadership (at gunpoint) that one of them is going to call the station and let their boat go, which means the other is going to get a beating for nothing. He then proceeds to use (a prop, of course) full-sized .38 to beat the great out of them.

...and the scene then cuts to one of them being bruised and cut up and doing what he says.

332 Back in 2015 Nissan used Chapman's "Cat's in the Cradle" to pitch their cars. It was back dropped with race footage and the story of a race driver who spends time away from his wife and son. While it perfectly hit the nail on the head with the motor racing community, the car enthusiast community it soured on a lot of people and was considered a horrible commercial.

Ironically, ‘Cats in the Cradle’ was Chapin’s biggest hit, reaching No. 1 in 1974. A tireless activist who co-founded WhyHunger, he was killed in a car crash in 1981 while en route to perform a free concert on Long Island.

I'm willing to give the Police a little room on it. the song often gets cited, and it name-drops Nabokov. But the teacher in question is trying to be the good guy despite the unwanted crush from his young student. Depeche Mode was maybe too honest about being rock stars.

I'm fine. Didn't make it to work today as my street was blocked off by a rather large tree that had fallen in the BOMB CYCLONE. I was free fairly early, but stayed to help with the rest of the clean up. It was a mess. But. It was fun to work with my neighbors and clean up the street.

"Expert" Allan Lichtman Melts Down In Argument With Master Debater Cenk Uygur (???), Declares That Anyone Saying He's Wrong Is Commiting "A Blasphemy Against Me"

Allen Lichtman, like so many other pretenders in the media sphere, is a literal zero. He is a nobody, a nothing, a nil.

You only know who he is because every four years, the media trots him out as part of their efforts to fill up as many minutes as possible with nonsense.

You've seen him -- he's the guy with the "13 keys" for predicting, or just guessing, the outcome of presidential elections. (He's such an incredible scholar that you haven't heard of him in any other context.)

He claims something like his 13 keys have "predicted" the winner in all but one of the last nine presidential elections.

Some might say that sounds like it's not much of a better record than most people would achieve through simple guessing, especially given that most presidential contests are not close and can easily be predicted by people who do not possess the awesome power of The Keys.

But those people are Blasphemers, as we'll soon find out.

Before Biden dropped out, this Savant claimed his "keys" predicted a Biden win, so Democrats must stick with Biden. The keys guaranteed his re-election!

Mind you, this was at a time when we now know that Biden's internal polling showed him losing 400 electoral votes to Trump.

After Biden dropped out, he guaranteed that Kamala would win. His Keys proclaimed her victory!

But some other people looked at his stupid "keys" and found that, first of all, they were largely about highly subjective things like whether the short-term economy and the long-term economy were positive for the incumbent or not.

Despite that the fact that America is in the grips of high inflation (short term) and on the edge of a recession (long term), Lichtman gave these two "keys" to Kamala Harris.

Nate Silver said, "Wait a minute, that doesn't seem right to me."

Lichtmann blasted him as a know-nothing punk who just didn't know how to properly work the Magic Keys.

During election night, this alleged political "scientist" just kept making up excuses for why his Keys weren't as magical as they usually are, and offering increasingly desperate statistically-unlikely scenarios whereby the Keys would be vindicated and Kamala would win.

Here's some more pathetic cope.

After the election and his complete humiliation, Lichtman announced that he was stepping back from the media and internet to ponder why his Keys had been so wrong.

"My prediction for this presidential election was wrong. I own up to it right now. I am taking time off today."
"My aim is to assess why the keys were wrong and what we can learn from this era and what the election means for the future of our country going forward."

That lasted about 48 hours. Within 48 hours, he'd figured out the problem:

The Keys were right. They'd always been right.

It was the voters who were wrong.

Now back from his intense 48 hour period of reflection and re-analysis, Lichtman has been spamming out excuses about why his incredible, magical, fantastical keys completely got the winner wrong. (Although Nate Silver would say that actually the keys pointed to a Trump win, but Lichtmann is such a hyperpartisan he wrongly assigned keys to get the outcome he wanted.)

His favorite excuse is... wait for it...

"Misinformation." You see, his Keys totally overlooked the possibility that the Democrat's opponent might get to speak during this election cycle, and say things that hyperpartisans like Lichtman don't think is true.

Which is what he means by "misinformation."

His keys work GREAT unless a Republican is allowed to be heard! If that happen, the Keys are of no use whatseover!

Allan Lichtman blames incorrect election prediction on 'disinformation', 'racism' and 'misogyny'... pic.twitter.com/FOSo3xxstv
— UnwokeismX (@UnwokeismX) November 12, 2024

Well, it gets worse for Allan Lichtman.

Piers Morgan had him on to offer more excuses for his Fortune Cookies not correctly forecasting the future, but he was confronted by someone smarter, wiser, saner, and more emotionally intact than he is.

And I can't believe I'm saying this, but that Hero was Cenk Uygur.

Lichtman kept offering a 3M factory's worth of excuses -- misinformation, Musk, and misogyny -- for why his Keys failed, arguing that his Keys were as perfect as they ever were, and Uygur basically kept repeating one simple point that, while very basic, was very insightful: "But you were wrong."

Lichtman began yelling, which he always does when his precious Keys are questioned, and culminated in telling Uygur, who I think is a Muslim, that when he says that Lichtman is wrong and his Keys are dumb, that is committing "blasphemy against me."

Yes, this "scientist" said that.

It's a real hoot.

Did you catch the part where he lists his Credentials?

Did you catch the part where he invokes the Scientific Evidence of Cenk's own Twitter followers supporting Lichtman and saying that Cenk is wrong?

Dude, your own Twitter followers say I'm right. Q. Fuckin' E.D., bitch!

I don't know what prior "debate" Cenk is referring to, but I would guess that Cenk objected to Lichtman's claim that the Democrats must stick with Biden, because of the Magic Keys.

And now... he's quit Twitter, and moved to the Bubble Community of BlueSky, where all the censorship-demanding leftists are moving to.

To hell with these "experts" who are incapable of acknowledging error or honestly judging the limits of their own claimed "expertise."

By the way, Cenk's getting red-pilled:

Cenk Uygur
@cenkuygur
I asked @elonmusk to put me in charge of cutting the Pentagon. And he said - what are your suggestions? I run the largest left-wing network online and a Democratic leader has NEVER asked me that question. The idea that they would take advice from a populist is disdainful to them.
Now, which side seems more open and inclusive? Which side seems more welcoming and which side tries really hard to drive you away if you disagree even a little with orthodoxy? Which side is asking for suggestions and which one is demanding compliance and obedience?

Maybe, like Ana Kasparian, he's also a Secret Right Winger (having Truth Seizures).

Cenk is a bloviating jackass, but this question really nails Lichtman. He's wedded to his pet theory and reality has no place in that marriage.

Silver hardly is a paragon of accuracy and truthfulness himself, but if you want to waste time on X dig that exchange up--it happened in October, from memory. It is beyond hilarious. Like most contemporary leftists (Silver more or less is one of the few remaining actual liberals, to be fair), Lichtman is a deranged lunatic.

74 The keys weren't wrong, he just abused them. Ace already pointed out that two keys concerning the economy pointed to Kamala, when obviously the opposite was true. There is also a key regarding "No serious primary contest for the incumbent party nomination." He gave this point to Kamala, despite the fact there was basically a coup to get her the nomination. Looking at the keys, I can see three of them that might have leaned toward Kamala, leaving ten predicting a Trump victory.

75 After 2020 and 2024, both losing sides settled on cheating as the cause of their loss.

Republicans said it was vote fraud in 2020. And they set about cleaning up elections.

In 2024, Democrats are saying it's because Republicans cheated by 1) spreading lies and 2) not letting Democrats get their message out.

This is fantastic.
Because it means they absolutely are not going to do anything to fix why they lost.
In fact, they are going to do MORE of what caused them to lose.

yeah. I didn't know he was hiding it. Or maybe it was when he was rewriting the Blue Max. He told the producer, I cannot write this sober in 12 days, but I can write it drunk in 12 days. He had the studio pick him up every morning at 7am (or whenever) after he'd already downed like a half a pint of whisky, then he'd have another pint enroute, then remain drunk all day writing until 11 pm or whenever, at which point he'd be driven home as he continued drinking.

He was a real mess. I've mentioned Ian Fleming's interview him on the BBC. I thought Ian Fleming was a drunk but boy howdy, Fleming seems sober as a judge compared to Chandler.

Lichtman snapped and joined into the witchhunt post 2016, and a lot like the chick pollster in Iowa may have been bought by the powers that be to "help secure the steal" this year.

I cannot state forcefully enough how important this win was, not stress enough that this is likely our last chance to secure future elections.

The GOP must have ruthless zeal on ballot security and credibility.

161 I didn't know he was hiding it. Or maybe it was when he was rewriting the Blue Max. He told the producer, I cannot write this sober in 12 days, but I can write it drunk in 12 days.

-
In the book, The Blue Max, Stachel's major malfunction was that he was an alcoholic. I guess Chandler missed that part. Also, Stachel survived the war, it was Hauptmann Heidemann who took the death dive. There was a sequel concerning Stachel leading up to WWII. In my humble opinion, the book was better.

Not hired.

210 "act of blasphemy" sounds like he thinks he is a god.

But the definition might leave a little room for his statement, if he really was an "established convention" (but he is not even that).

blasphemy Noun
1. An act of irreverence or contempt toward a god or toward something considered sacred; an impious act, utterance, view, etc.
That imam said that drawing the prophet Muhammad is a form of blasphemy.

2. (by extension) An act of irreverence towards anything considered inviolable; the act of disregarding a convention.
Synonyms
irreverent language: cursing cussing execration imprecation profanity swearing
unholy act: desecration profanation sacrilege violation

I don't think D pressured his wife, she was obviously looking to monkey-branch off his fame from the start it was amazing how obvious her efforts were while everyone in the YT circles was saying that it was going to fail in short order.

I saw him talk about it BEFORE she dumped him. IIRC the interview he said that he was more into the idea then she was but he had to be true to himself of some such.

And the funny think is I used to watch a lot of the B-level political chats he would end up on and I don't think even there he was the exactly Mr Charisma that was going to get the ladies to swoon. The right leaning women looked at him with disgust and, actually, so did the left leaning women.

On that Wednesday, I was flush with anger — but it was diluted by an even stronger feeling: defeat. I saw it in the eyes of women in my subway car that morning. I saw it in the barista at the coffee shop on the corner, the female security guard at my school and in the face of my history teacher.”

idk, but Trump may have won beyond the cheat. I do think we lost Lake in AZ, and probably a senator in WI, maybe MI and now still they party on in PA.

But also, there was division on their side, and Kamala was so terrible, perhaps some feared the outcome of laying their lives on the line for committing felonies on behalf of candidates that hated them?

Or maybe a lot of the Dem cheaters were sick of dealing with violent illegals?

247 If you use the final opinion polling, Gallup (until it quit polling since 2012), It picked Reagan over Carter 47-44 1980, Reagan over Mondale in 84--59 to 41, Bush 56-44 over Dukakis in 1988, Clinton 49-37 (Clinton came down in real result and Perot went up, Gallup nailed Bush votes), Clinton in 1996, 52-41 percent, 2000 Bush over Gore 48-46 (before release of DWI story), 2004- Bush 49-Kerry 49. 2008, 53 Obama--42 McCain, 2012, Obama 49, Romney 48.

Polling had its first miss (without Gallup) 2016--Trump 42, Killary 48.

Biden 51 to Trump's 44 percent in 2020, and Polling in 2024 leaned toward slightly toward Kamala at .1 percent aka .001 in the RCP poll.

So overall, just taking the Gallup poll winner, it correctly predicted the winner from 1936-2012 with only two misses--1948 and 1960 (both in October).

2016, national polling predicted Trump to lose the popular vote but by more than he actually did. 2020, curiously, the polling and Biden's actual percentage matched. 2024, again, national polling miss as Trump won both the electoral and popular vote this election.

Then what fucking use are the keys, exactly?

The point of the keys is they are supposed to override the "noise". They are the fundamentals upon which the race is decided. Nothing else matters, hence the word "key".

If the keys are derailed so easily, then they predict...nothing.

Back in the French and Indian War once the brits got over their intital humilating losses and started getting going the Army raised troops and funds from the colonists by going to the colonial assemblies and saying, "we need X troops, stores and the like for this campaign" and the assemblies would figure out how to do so - a tax, or asking the rich folk to pitch in.

This worked pretty well the ensuing 5 years or so until the war was won. So when the Parliament started inventing taxes the assemblies were pissed that they weren't being consulted

294 Poll watchers wouldn't be relevant in all mail-in states, or even states with meaningful mail-in voting. Poll watchers wouldn't explain 2024. Recall that it wasn't just the farcical insecurity of mail-in votes, but the tabulation process in 2016 that was often without any credibility. Clark County NV actually edged out long-reigning Wayne County MI in that department - expelling observers, switching off signature-matching, etc. Absurd. Like an election in Belarus or Venezuela.

I've never seen a comprehensive and persuasive analysis of 2016. And with Trump winning, I'm fairly certain election integrity - already a quixotic exercise in a comatose civic culture like this one - is going to not get much oxygen.

Scotus simply required more due process in Jackson v. Indiana but it raised the burden of proof to clear and convincing (sorta kinda similar in civil actions to beyond a reasonable doubt) for confinement.

O'Connor v. Donaldson in 1975 is what did real damage, It stated, "A finding of mental illness alone is not sufficient grounds for confining a person against their will. They must be found to be a danger to others or incapable of surviving safely without institutional care."

That can be done but it takes an awful lot of documentation. Clayton Cramer of 2A fame, wrote a book about how the laws affected a sibling with schizophrenia and how agencies compounded the problem via extreme risk aversion to do what they could do quite easily even with Scotus decisions.

It's a class thing with a lot of them, and that may be the biggest factor. Trump is just icky, low brow, not their sort of person.

I remember Rush Limbaugh (pbuh) talking about meeting Peggy Noonan for the first time. It was some Buckley thing, IIRC. She said, "Oh, you're the one that all the truck drivers listen to, right?"

And I think that was the same party where he mentioned that Buckley didn't know what a Diet Coke was. Buckley's wife did, though and got Rush his requested drink.

Lara Trump and Whatley were saying pretty much since the day they were appointed at the RNC their number 1 goal was election integrity and they were going to flood every swing state with hundreds of lawyers and poll watchers. They started filing lawsuits early and often every time a Democrat even hinted at going off the reservation.

That's why I was pretty confident Trump was going to win. Biden only "won' in 2020 because massive cheating was allowed and the RNC did squat. Not having a lockdown with millions of mail in ballots everywhere helped was a big deal but having a team that actually fought was the key in my opinion.

Buckley gives him a strange look. Rush says he realizes Buckley has no idea what a diet Coke is. He shuffles off to the bar and comes back and hands Rush something in a glass. Rush smells it, WTF? and takes a sip. Not a diet Coke.

He says then Buckley's wife comes over, she'd heard the whole thing, gives Buckley a "You idiot!" look and then gets Rush his Coke.

Also, Stachel survived the war, it was Hauptmann Heidemann who took the death dive. There was a sequel concerning Stachel leading up to WWII. In my humble opinion, the book was better.

Disney-Owned ABC "News:" You Know Who's Really Responsible for Laken Riley's Murder? Donald Trump

Oh really?

This dog claims that there's "no clear link between immigration and violent crime," apparently just blowing over the fact that there is a VERY CLEAR LINK between immigration and this violent crime.

He then claims that the Biden "immigration bill," which was long on hiring more judges to hand-wave illegal aliens into the country and short on spending for actual enforcement and deportation, would have "essentially" fixed immigration.

It is important to note that all this vitriol we're hearing from Republicans and President-elect Trump regarding the Biden administration's policies on illegal immigration, it's important to note that President Trump did force Republicans to essentially tank a bipartisan border security bill that both sides of the aisle said would've essentially addressed border security and immigration issues.

Minutes after the illegal scum who killed Laken Riley was sentenced, Fake News hack @IkeEjiochi was on ABC blaming President Trump.

For a long time, we've been saying "they won't like it when their own rules of 'misinformation' are turned against them and their actual misinformation is banned."

And mostly, we're just saying it to make a point. We don't actually want to start censoring speech.

But maybe we should. Maybe, at some point, they've lied enough.

Maybe they should be forced to live under the "misinformation" rules they use to ban others' speech.

I regret to inform everyone that it has been revealed that Laken Riley suffered for 18 long minutes before finally dying. It was also revealed the Biden/Harris Admin flew the illegal migrant straight to her on a taxpayer funded flight. Democrats need to go to prison for this. pic.twitter.com/l4XS3SYiaG

24 I can't believe they keep trying to flog that worthless bill, or to claim that Trump was the one who killed it. He didn't do it, WE DID. We all remember that Mitch McConnel's Senate was all set to pass it, after that idiot Lankford "negotiated" it, and then all of us started to read what was in it and blew up! And then every GOP Senator started to realized none of us were going to go for that shit sandwich, which was going to allow 5,000 immigrants a day to come across, and then Speaker Johnson said the House wouldn't even hold a vote, and then McConnell and his minions realized there was no point falling on this sword, and THEN Trump agreed with us at the last minute, and it died.

And I'm glad that Trump was on the right side, but he had nothing at all to do with how things played out.

80 I'm not sure when it started but it seems over the last decade or so the left has adopted the tactic of claiming "there is no evidence for XYZ" when there is absolutely clear evidence of XYZ as a form or argument. Instead they just invent "their truth" and try to make you argue on their terms not reality. It's not just childish its idiotic and makes it impossible to reason with them.

There's tons of proof that illegals are committing all types of violent crime all over the country. And anyone who actually read the key parts of that bill knows it would not have done squat to stop illegals, in fact it would have given them legal cover. And either way it would have had no effect on an illegal who Biden allowed into the country and roam free for years before the bill was even brought up.

Just lies on top of lies.

Got a Japanese buddy who came to town recently. We had some good discussion on US politics and the media. He's recently been 'red pilled' and cast his absentee ballot for Trump. Said 'It's amazing how long and how much the media has been outright LYING to me about everything."

A similar problem that I've noticed in the last few years is when they make a vague claim about something being true or proven. If you ask them for specifics, they'll tell you to Google it. It's infuriating because you know they're almost certainly either claiming something that has no proof, wildly exaggerating something that has limited proof, or repeating something that has been disproven. But you can't address specifics because they won't give you enough information to be able to address their non-specific claim.

If you enjoyed putting someone to death, yeah, mebbe that is a personal issue but the commandment was Thou Shalt Not Commit Murder which leaves the whole justice component out of the analysis.

Justice process nor the state executioner do not count as murder historically nor by law today.

The *only* thing she has going for her is that she looks 15. That's enough for Hollywood but it doesn't do much in the real world.

She's ok to look at; before i had ever heard her opine about Snow White, I would have been proud to bring her home from TGI Applebee's; but my goodness; get her talking and I just want to go all Leslie Nielson from Airplane! and tell her to calm down and get a hold of herself.

148 I like how the border bill--that capped illegal immigration at, what, a mere 1.5 million a month--that citizen Trump "killed" in year FOUR of the Biden-Harris administration is somehow responsible for the previous four fucking years of the flood of illegals.

And the lesson they learned from 11-5 was, "we didn't lie to America enough."

It's insane--they're sitting there on TV, lying like November 5 never happened. It's like they've decided complete denial of Harris losing is best.

Sponge nailed it, pretty much. Fact is, the DeBakey VA Hospital up in Houston has a very highly reputed, full ALS/Gehrig's research and treatment wing. Every kind of Dr., clinic, testing, therapy, treatment, all in a one-stop-shopping location.

In my case, "Full Coverage" also means $0 cost "premiums", $0 co-pay, $0 prescriptions. And qualifies as Full Coverage under ObummerKKKare and Medicare Part B.

Justice process nor the state executioner do not count as murder historically nor by law today.

I couldn't murder someone but these animals have no conscience and can't seem to understand that they are killing a human being. Maybe they have no comprehension of humanity, maybe they don't care. They don't have any conscience or remorse for what they did. That makes the death penalty not inhumane to them. It's just part of life. They show no emotion, they're lives mean nothing, so no ones life means anything.

Not for divine justice which is the Lord's alone but society as exercised through the State through the commandment's proper wording to execute killers and others. Notice that even Paul and his various comrades did not so much decry stoning for heretics. They just denied being one and were as a consequence protected by the Lord.

Humans are fallible and thus the state which is composed of humans is fallible. That does not mean that it is 'murder'. BTW, most of the Innocence project focuses on cases where you have two collaborators or more in a murder.

Each blaming the other one. There is really no need for that distinction which is why quite a few states treat each person involved in the crime, the same as a trigger puller. That causes people like the getaway driver to quickly confess and turn state's evidence which is one of the reasons it is useful.

On that note, Susan Smith was denied parole today which I am thankful for. In 1995 she was the monster that strapped her two small boys in the back of her car and then let the car reverse in to a lake drowning them. She claimed a black guy had carjacked her car with the kids for 9 days until she confessed. Reason? Although married, she wanted to be with the man she was having an affair with but he didn't want kids. So, she got rid of them. She's been busy in prison with having sex with 4 guards, drugs, and alcohol. She's where she needs to be and maybe if she asks for forgiveness in this lifetime, God will.

319 The history of the law of the land and due process under the law from the Magna Carta is also apropos.

Anti death penalty types come from two sources--one is based loosely on interpreting the Bible as Thou shalt not murder including the death penalty (presumably that would also make self defense, abortion, and killing someone in war impermissible as well but most people are not that consistent). The other type fear the state and do not want even a jury of their peers and a judge to put them to death because (using a vastly distorted quote by Blackstone) "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."

But, this avoids the moral question given that it costs somewhere up to 100k per year to house a killer and that money could be spent far better by taxpayers for other beneficial things. That also ignores the tendency of killers killing others, raping others in prison, and so on, as after the first one, the rest are free.

You can do shoot that person but is called a justification defense for a reason. You have to admit you killed someone and it has to be intentional (unintentional would be manslaughter). And you have to prove (aka justify) the reasonableness of your actions to a jury of your peers.

You do not get to judge your own actions whether it was murder or not.

329 But, this avoids the moral question given that it costs somewhere up to 100k per year to house a killer and that money could be spent far better by taxpayers for other beneficial things.

And it is an attack on the dignity and value of human life. I know, I know that sounds contradictory but bear with me.

The reason we have the death penalty in the Old Testament is pretty clearly stated several times: because human beings are made in the image of God and are innately valuable and worthy. Superior to all other life forms on earth, possibly all of creation. When you take a human life, that's not just a brutal evil, but it is an attack on the value of humanity and its reflection of God's glory and value.

That must be paid for. In blood.

100k was the figure the last time I looked at high security prison costs and it could very well be more today.

A lot of that cost is personnel to guard them, feed them, personnel to provide them medical and dental care, an up to date law library, etc.

You have to separate an innocent child without sin versus a thug and their actions. That is also why generally the West excludes those below 70 iq and those who are so mentally ill that they cannot control their actions (M'Naughton test) which the defendant has to prove in court. Ditto for self defense cases, one has to admit in to the police or even in open court that they killed someone deliberately but they did it to save themselves or others from immediate threat from the deceased likely to cause their own death or serious injury.

Note that people in the armed forces have to kill as much to preserve their own life as to win a war as do police officers from time to time for public safety.

So apples and oranges. A person is found guilty of capital murder by their peers and their peers are required to find that they deserve death after weighing aggravating and mitigating circumstances as a punishment for their actions.

An aborted child has none of those protections.

NYT "Fact"-Check of RFKJr.s Complaint That the US Version of Froot Loops Contains Chemicals Not Present in Foreign Versions: The Ingredients List Are "Roughly" the Same (Except for All the Artficial Chemicals That RFKJr. Specifically Objects To)

Imma coin a new term for these false "fact" checks: Fake checks.

This is a few days old.

But let's cover it now, because now Joe Rogan is talking about it, too.

The New York Times offered a baffling fact-check of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s claim that a popular breakfast cereal in the United States contains several artificial ingredients.
The former Democratic-turned-Independent presidential candidate endorsed President-elect Donald Trump after suspending his 2024 campaign in August. On Thursday, Trump announced he had nominated Kennedy to head the Department of Health and Human Services in his incoming administration.
Kennedy has pledged to tackle chronic health issues facing Americans and take on "corruption" within the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in order to "Make America Healthy Again."
In an interview on MSNBC after Trump's victory earlier this month, Kennedy suggested the second Trump administration could eliminate entire departments within the FDA: "In some categories, their entire departments, like the nutrition department in the FDA, they have to go. They're not doing their job. They're not protecting our kids. Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients, and you go to Canada, and it's got two or three?"
The New York Times published a report on Friday analyzing Kennedy's views on artificial food ingredients that specifically fact-checked the Trump nominee for his claims about Froot Loops using different ingredients in their U.S. product versus Canadian product.
"Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many artificial ingredients, questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the U.S. version," the Times' report read. "But he was wrong. The ingredient list is roughly the same, although Canada's has natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as Butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, a lab-made chemical that is used 'for freshness,' according to the ingredient label."

Is that all?

According to a statement given to the Washington Post by Kennedy spokesperson, Stefanie Spear, Kennedy was referring to the differences in food dyes in the American and Canadian versions of the cereal.
"We can all unify behind the goal of making American food the healthiest and most nutritious in the world," Spear said in her statement.

The NYT's strange fact-check, which seemed to prove rather than disprove Kennedy's point about artificial ingredients being included in the U.S. version of the cereal, drew critics to mock the paper.

"Spitting out my coffee after reading this NYT 'fact check' of RFK Jr.," X user Brad Cohn wrote in a post that drew over 4 million views on the social media platform.
He added in mockery, "'As you see, the ingredient list is just completely identical, except the US product contains formaldehyde, cyanide, and nearly undetectable levels of saxitoxin.'"

Okay that's a parody list of ingredients but it's True In Spirit.

It's worse than that, akshually.

Because if these Fake Checkers had bothered to check any actual facts, they'd have found, which I found by complete accident, that Yellow Dye Number Five is one of the chemicals that RFKJr. is most passionate about getting out of our foods.

And of course, right there in the ingredients list for the American formula for Froot Loops, is Yellow Dye #5.

Below, Kennedy rips adding tartrazine to foods intended for humans.

Tatrazine is more often known by the anodyne name "Yellow Dye #5" in American foods' ingredients lists.

FDA allows toxic chemicals to be added to the Western diet. It is almost impossible to escape the poisons in your child�s food. Look how many labels in your kitchen have Tartrazine.

RFK, Jr. will ban these poisons like every other developed country does.

This is a MUST WATCH!� pic.twitter.com/xGdChLfzgW
— SULLY (@SULLY10X) November 14, 2024

Is Kennedy right that tartrazine is dangerous? I don't know, but I know that the corporate-owned FDA allows a lot of chemicals that a lot of western countries have banned for use in human food. I'd like to hear his evidence.

Unlike the NY Times, I don't automatically side with Big Food when it comes to the artificial ingredients they add into our food to hide the fact that this food looks and smells awful without the addition of chemicals.

How could the Fake Checkers have failed to turn this up in their Fake Check? Are they so ignorant they they did a "fact" check without doing the minimum possible amount of fact checking into RFKJr.'s agenda? Are they really completely ignorant of the fact that one of Froot Loops' ingredients is the one ingredient Kennedy objects to the most vociferously?

Or -- did they actually know but conceal this information from readers anyway, because Kennedy is now connected with Trump and no matter how reasonable, anything proposed by someone connected to Trump must be lied about and claimed to be the Devil's Work?

That's what Joe Rogan thinks is going on.

I don't know. I'd put my money on pure ignorance. Our "experts" are a shoddy, stupid lot, we're discovering more and more.

From Vigilant Fox:

Joe Rogan ERUPTS on The New York Times for "fack-checking" RFK Jr. on toxic food ingredients while simultaneously proving him right.
"That made my brain hurt just reading it."
The "fact-check" in question all started when The New York Times claimed RFK Jr. was "wrong" about differences in Froot Loops' ingredients between Canada and the United States.
However, their own reporting admitted that the U.S. version contains harmful chemicals like Red Dye 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1, and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), while the Canadian version uses "natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots."
"So they're literally saying he was wrong, but he was right," Rogan scoffed. "That is the f--king dangerous chemicals banned in Canada that we're trying to get rid of in America!"
Rogan continued to question what possible motivation the The New York Times could have to "fact-check" RFK Jr.'s efforts to remove toxic ingredients from the food supply.
"Like, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to remove all leftover credibility? Are you trying to k*ll it all?" Rogan asked. "Are you secretly working for the Chinese? Like, what are you doing?"
Rogan's guest, Jimmy Corsetti, concluded, "It's probably backed by Monsanto or something."

The ingredients list is roughly the same, except much longer, and uses artificial, possibly poisonous dyes derived from coal tar instead of natural sources of coloration like blueberries and carrots.

But otherwise -- "roughly" the same!

As Rogan asks, rhetorically -- what is your target, New York Times? Zero credibility? Is very low credibility you already have weighing you down and you want to shed it like it's extra fat around the middle?

44 What is in some of this stuff now, as compared to 20, 30, 40 years ago is probably significantly different. I seem to recall various dyes, preservatives and whatnot being "labeled as unhealthy or causing cancer" back in the 70's.

Then replaced with something concocted by a big chemical manufacturer and passed off as "better, safer" only until recently.

Honestly I think the dread dangers of certain chemicals in food are overstated, to put it mildly, but I am all for cutting back on the vast levels of preservatives, seed oils, soy, and sugar in our foods.

RFK jr is a zealot and he overdoes stuff, but he's not entirely wrong and its definitely time to start looking at this stuff a bit more critically.

47 To be fair, there re a lot of garbage ingredients in European foods as well -- maybe different from US garbage ingredients, or labelled differently, but nearly as bad as here.

FOr example, in the UK, nearly every drink now has heinous and horrible-tasting artificial sweeteners, due to a nationwide "sugar ban" (massive tax, actually).

EU products won[t event ell you the names of the ingredients, but instead just list their code numbers, which generally start with an "E" ("Wheat, butter, E465, E781, E213...") You literally have n idea what any of it even is, unless you look it up online, only to discover that E465 is some unpronouncable chemical like di-hydroxymethyltartratize-4-alphyl-alkinoid" or some shit.

But pushing the addictive junk on kids is atrocious, and deliberate. If FDA workers are caught taking bribes in exchange for poisoning kids ... they need worse than just being fired (or promoted).

60 What is in some of this stuff now, as compared to 20, 30, 40 years ago is probably significantly different. I seem to recall various dyes, preservatives and whatnot being "labeled as unhealthy or causing cancer" back in the 70's.

Yeah its pretty close to the same, except now there's more corn syrup and soy in our foods. More seed oils. Personally I doubt the seed oils are as awful as being portrayed, but its over done.

Try being someone who is extremely sensitive to sugar in your diet. Like more than 5 grams of sugars in a meal is too much.

Its sheer hell shopping, sugar is in everything. And its hidden, they have like 18 varieties of sugar they put in stuff, adding it up more and more and more until its nasty. Who the hell needs sugar in mayonnaise? Why are you adding sugar to tomato sauce?? Why are you sneaking it into everything?

Half a dozen people sitting in the front of the store waiting for one of the 8 electric fat carts they have and the lady at the door was telling them they would have to wait and they were not happy.

My dear mother had polyneuropathy and could barely walk ten feet. She needed those carts to go grocery shopping. I used to get so angry at these bloated, sagging sacks of fat who would take the carts.

Yes, I get it, you can't walk very far either BUT YOU CAN FIX THAT. Lose some freaking weight you disgusting pustule. Leave the carts for my 80-something crippled mother damn you!

77 I went to Germany, Austria and Czech Rep in June. They eat tons of food 3 big meals per day and none of them are fat.

I was walking around in the grocery store a few days ago and noticed that I was one of a very few people in the store that wasn't morbidly obese.

Many such cases. Maybe it's something else besides the chemicals and processing and whatever. Could be air quality has an impact, or ghosts, don't care.

We need a real investigation of the chemicals and processing and whatever. If they're innocent/benign, and there are other major culprits, fine, let's identify and tackle those. (Maybe it's one or two super-badd ones and the rest are fine, I don't know.)

But this is an *obvious* place to start. It's a solid lead, and if you don't follow any leads, you don't get anywhere.

90 Tracy Beanz has a good thread about ICAN suing the CDC to force them to either prove their claim that vaccines DO NOT CAUSE autism or stop claiming it.

Initially, ICAN submitted a FOIA to disclose all of the studies relied on to come to the conclusion that several specific vaccines do not cause autism. CDC failed to respond.

ICAN sued them. CDC provided studies. All but one was completely non-responsive to the question. The one that studied DTaP in babies actually found an association between DTaP and autism. Associations are not proof of causation, but that's not the assignment. The assignment is to prove the claim they boldly make on the website that vaccines do not cause autism.

The court forced CDC to remove the language from their website. BUT, and this part is amazing, a week later NewsGuard started harassing the CDC to put back the language. CDC then ADDED BACK the language the court told them to remove.

Yeah, and you should be cautious with it (I cannot drink fruit juice for instance) but the sugars in orange juice and the sugars in your sugar bowl are NOT the same, and your body treats them differently. Fructose breaks down differently and slower than sucrose, for example.

this is a misunderstanding. Almost all sweet things have both sucrose "cane sugar" and fructose "fruit sugar." (and sometimes lactose or galactose, in dairy products)

Cane contains both, fruit contains both. These are poorly-chosen names which have misled the public for a hundred years. It's just not true that fruits contain fruit sugar. They contain an almost perfect 50/50 blend of both fructose and sucrose.

Google's AI:

Sugars in Fruits and Vegetables In fact, almost all fruits and vegetables naturally contain sucrose, as well as glucose and fructose, in varying amounts. For example, bananas, sweet peas and peaches contain primarily sucrose, whereas glucose and fructose are the main sugars in pears and tomatoes.

Amen. A-fucking-men. That's exactly where I am on this. So "purple #5", may or may not be bad. Don't really know. It obviously doesn't kill you instantly, that would be obvious. But, what are the long term effects? Don't know that either, cause it takes a long time to figure that out.

There is no RDA for "Purple #5". Don't need it, doesn't do any good. So, maybe don't put it in the food.

Posted by: rickb223

I toured a cane sugar plant years ago. They bring in the raw sugar and leave it on the floor in the warehouse. Then, they use front loaders to put it into a boil pot, and then pipe it into a charcoal tower to filter using gravity. As the sugar percolates through the tower, it becomes lighter in color as the melted roaches are filtered out. Brown sugar is the least filtered.

224 Yeah. And if childhood vaccines caused autism, we'd all be autistic.

Let me say up front: I don't think vaccines cause autism. I don't see any evidence of this.

But people have got the science of this all wrong.

Vaccines could cause autism without everyone being autistic. Same way that not all smokers get lung cancer. That's just how elevated risk plays out. There's few things that always cause "x" harm.

No study has found a correlation between autism and vaccines to date. But that's somewhat less meaningful than people think. The absence of a link isn't really the same thing as disproof of a link (which is why scientific studies that fail to find a correlation always say that, rather than saying they disproved a correlation).

HRT and breast cancer is a good example. Studies showed no correlation between the two for years. Good studies. Then a very big study did show one. That's not causation in and of itself. My point is only that studies can fail to detect a correlation for a variety of reasons, until one day they do.

I would tend to agree except basically it is an information problem. Company A wants to add some chemical to their food but conducts the food safety tests themselves and hands it off to the FDA who has coincidentally people who just left Company A to work in government for a stint before going back.

Back when I did empirical work, the last stuff I did was event count history models for sorting out causal relationships of relatively rare events over time. And various versions of time series analysis.

Simply put, many effects only show up when lagged against the primary variable of interest. In other words, they have a delayed reaction and this is particularly true when dealing with medical science. Like social science, medical science relies on either experimental/control group a/b using small numbers in those tests, animal test analogues, or they rely on large statistical studies including self reporting by participants. Medical research is as plagued as social science research with bad data and less than optimal research design models.

265 When was the last time you saw a kid genuinely "on the spectrum" with teenage parents?

In the last week. Yes, parents are older. And yes, the idea of "Little Johnny is SPECIAL rather than just needed an ass whipping" is also strong.

But come on. Look at a history book. Old, reasonably well off 50+ year old men have been siring through 30+ year old women for centuries.

Something has changed.

I think a large part of the great increase in diagnosed cases of autism is expanding the definition of autism to include what was previously considered part of the normal variety of humanity. Not every kid has to be and act the same or they need to have drugs pumped into them.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that study was designed and pursued specifically hoping to avoid the very obvious. Men can reproduce until they die. While there might be some change in quality - and certainly amount - over the life of a male, I seriously doubt the quality of sperm degrades significantly enough to affect reproduction to any great degree, unlike the biological clock of the mother.

You'll notice there are not multi-trillion dollar industries attempting to convince men to freeze their sperm.

There's a good reason for that.

But USA companies have decided that their model is growth, and the "newcomers" fill that model.

All I can say is my 18 month old son was perfectly normal in development until getting the MMR vaccine. A couple of days after the shot he got an extremely high fever, passed out with a seizure and almost died. He basically went back to square one in development but then had autistic behaviors (echolalia, stimmy, etc) as he grew up.

Did the vaccine cause the autism? Well I'm 100% certain if he didn't get the shot he wouldn't have had the fever. I'm 99% certain the fever and resulting seizure messed up the neural pathways in his brain. Otherwise why would he have gone back to square one in development?

We have 4 kids and he was the only one that had that issue. So obviously there are cofactors involved. The first place I would look is manufacturing variances in the MMR vaccine. The second place is probably genetic variations.

305 >>> I'm pretty sure sugar existed 100 years ago.
I'll have to check on that. Yeah checks out.

So you should do some reading about this. It is interesting, and the facts will serve better than uninformed ideological priors.

Sugar used to be a very expensive commodity, because it was only grown in the tropics or subtropics.

During the Napoleonic wars, when France was surrounded and embargoed, Napoleon paid chemists to figure out how to turn beet sugar into something like table sugar.

This worked, and over the next hundred years sugar went from something that the aristocracy enjoyed, and commoners only had occasionally, to something so plentiful it was poured into everything.

It used to be that poor people had no cavities, and rich people had lots of cavities. Because poor people could not afford sugar.

Over the course of the 20th century people went from eating very little sugar to eating 60-80 pounds of it per year.

So yes, people's sugar consumption went up about 20x over the course of a century. A century in which people got fatter and fatter, and had more and more heart disease.

Most interesting fact I've learned this century:

Science has told us for hundreds of years that the average internal body temperature of a healthy adult human in 98.6 degree Fahrenheit.

And that seemed to be true...until recently.

Little reported anywhere is the growing "mystery" that in hospitals and doctors' offices around the world, healthy people are increasingly clocking in with 98.0 or 97.5 or even 97. Consistently.

Cross-checking with different thermometers doesn't fix the "problem."

A recent hypothesis to explain the issue is now gaining growing acceptance as the most likely explanation:

Better dental health, globally.

Since the dawn of the agricultural era, people have begun eating sugars, and tooth decay and gingivitis skyrocketed. For 5,000 years the AVERAGE human has has some kind of dental/gum issue. This inflammation is actually a minor infection. Infections cause a temperature rise.

Humankind has had a "fever" for millennia. Not any more. 97.5 is our real healthy temperature.

This was happening where I grew up, and they told us it was possibly the grown hormones pumped into our chicken. It scared my mom and she tried to get us meat with less hormones added. But who knows.

409 Here's my probably wrong theory on the increased number of autism...along with other issues, too much screen time for babies. Our pediatrician told us only 1 hour of tv for our sons once they were toddling around the playroom.

Now there are videos in ninny vans (what my son called them) to keep the little ones quiet for brief trips.

My sons, tethered to car seats from birth, had to deal with the sometimes 13hr trips to my parent's with either small toys, books I'd present during cranky times from under my seat, and singing to rock songs. Or the blessed nap.

Now they have ipads. At least our grands have limited time.

I also don't believe in drugging the little kids unless it does help them from head banging or whatever. Changing their diets could help first. Puff up with pride and releases toxic flatulence: I never fed my kids McDonald's for dinner. Not that I'd win a prize as I was also working a bit and their father was out of town on business. There were times I broke down and fed the chimps Hamburger Helper.

I am thankful I never had to deal with this, as pretty much everyone, even adults, are on the spectrum if you take the little tests online.

One of the weird precursors to Testosterone production, is winning. Yup, the chemicals in the brain when you are feeling good about winning, does increase testosterone production...

Depressed Men, create less testosterone... ergo... the now normalized Men are treated like shit, and society not allowing many to feel productive (both socially and career), will lead to lower testosterone levels.

They're not water soluble.

THis is a factor. Between finding out how much birth control chemicals are in the recycled drinking water and how they affect a woman's attraction to different kinds of men I think its very important for that to be examined more closely.

A LOT of girls are given birth control to "regulate their menstrual cycle" even quite early on.

The USA has shitified everything. I see none of that in Japan. I think a big reason is that Japan is full of Japanese, while the USA is filled with 3rd worlders who are have no standard of quality.

But USA companies have decided that their model is growth, and the "newcomers" fill that model.

________________

Where to start on this one?

Urine is largely composed of urea, a conjugate of two molecules of ammonia with one molecule of carbon dioxide. So ... no free ammonia, which should have been obvious, since urine doesn't smell of ammonia until bacterial action attacks the urea.

Many Brits have horrible teeth because a lot of them disdain brushing their teeth, much less flossing them, and never go to the dentist to get their teeth cleaned.

Nothing to do with urine.

Every school year, I got calls about my son, adopted from Guatemala and a full-blooded Mayan Indian, asking why he was not enrolled in Title Whatever Indian Education program, that he needed the tutoring and special exceptions. Then they asked what tribe he was from. Suddenly, he was fine on his own. They couldn't make nay money off of him so he was instantly smart as a whip. Racism is as stupid as judging a kid on his age development.

I hear ya! My baby son, who is very successful and did great in college, was the youngest in his class in kindergarten (FL). The test they put him through further labeled him with his gender and summer birthday as a potential drop out. Because! He did not put two lines for a neck of his stick man and could not skip. I actually would weep at times thinking he was doomed. However, after 2nd grade he caught up. It was always left to us for the first two years to advance him or not..as academically he did well. He was also the tallest kid in his class. I did not have the heart to keep him back in kindergarten because he could not skip. I did right, but was put through some bit of hell in worrying. He is very successful.

His elder brother sailed through HS with honors. Never studied. And was a mess his junior year of college because he never had to work as hard. So you never know.

486 Aside from the fun of being mildly contrarian, I'd be perfectly happy to get most of the added chemicals out of processed food.

Yes, even the aniline dyes.

It's just... most of those chemicals were put there for specific reasons, and most of those reasons are not because the food industry is a bunch of moustache-twirling villains.

Some of it is because it was safer than what they'd been putting in previously, some of it was to save money, some of it was to keep the food safe to eat for longer than they'd been able to before, some of it is solutions to problems caused by government nutritional requirements.

And yes, some of it is to make the stuff so darn tasty that you eat way too much of it and have to buy more.

So there's no reason to not look at it and ask "Do we really need this any more? Do the benefits still outweigh he risks?"

But going around saying "Chemical Bad!" like some soy-based anti-oil activist isn't the way to go.

502 Early Europeans in Africa noticed how nice African teeth were compared to their snaggly toofs. The big difference in diet was Euros eating bread while Africans eating protein and vegetables. A heavy bread diet will rot your teeth very quickly.
Posted by: Pudinhead at November 20, 2024 04:58 PM (jFCkp)

Part of that is just eating tougher or harder textured foods- raw roots, vegetables, tough meat, etc. That causes you to develop a broader palate when growing. Broader palate = more room for teeth to erupt in straight

On the other hand, children eating a soft diet tend to have narrower palates. Narrower palate = crowded space = crowder teeth.

That's a big part of it and has zippo to do with sugar.

Though, of course, sugar in the diet can lead to cavities.

509 The lowered puberty-arrival for the average girl is easily explained through evolutionary factors:

Puberty doesn't hit at the same time for everyone -- it's in a range. In the past, girls who hit puberty earlier tended to have sex earlier, and stupid sex (i.e. unprotected) more often. The younger a girl is, the more naive she is, the less experienced, the less educated, the more childish, etc. - -which leads to being taken advantage of and acting on impulse more frequently.

"Early onset puberty = early and more frequent unprotected sexual activity" has been proven conclusively.

And the more sex a demographic has, the more pregnancies it has. Some get aborted, but not all.

So: girls who hit puberty earlier tend to have more babies. Also proven statistically.

And those babies? They all inherit their mothers' tendency to hit puberty earlier.

So the next generation, population-wide, has more kids with the early-puberty gene.

Multiply that by a hundred generations and -- boom -- the average age of puberty overall drops.

That's how evolution works.

Yes, I take it as a given that sugar is main cause of most tooth issues. I have been to Africa and Asia and seen people with perfect teeth well into old age. No dentists, but also no sugar. (and no stone milled grains)

If it was dental, then it would not have been universal. Also we do not measure temperature with high accuracy due to where we measure (not core inside temp) and instruments.

Schools need to get more creative with this. I remember in a Catholic school without a lot of cash in lower grades they seemed to be flexible. So in the reading stuff the box of stories and quizzes you needed to do X of them. Since my mother taught me to read in self defense years earlier the teacher let me do 10x the number because I could. Spelling bees used to be girls vs boys and there would be me and another guy versus 80 percent of the girls. Got me some street cred with the other boys.

Speaker Johnson Announces: All Women's Bathrooms and Changing Areas Are Reserved for Biological Women Only

Good. Enough of this bullshit already.

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced Wednesday his intention to ban biological males who identify as transgender women from using women's bathrooms and locker rooms on Capitol Hill.
"All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings -- such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms -- are reserved for individuals of that biological sex," Johnson said in a statement.
"It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol. Women deserve women's only spaces."
The move comes as Representative Nancy Mace (R., S.C.) pushes to include in the upcoming House rules package a measure to prevent incoming transgender representative Sarah McBride (D., Del.), formerly known as Tim McBride, from using women's facilities. McBride is the first transgender-identifying lawmaker elected to Congress.

The Speaker has the "general control" over the House's physical facilities.

Tim Miller is a supergay liberal who writes for the "conservative" Bulwark.

Brad Polumbo is also a supergay liberal. He used to grift at the National Review. He now grifts pretending to offer "reasonable" bipartisan solutions, which always involve making substantial concessions to the hard left.

Nope, we can't have nuance on this issue because it's not a nuanced issue. It's clear-cut, reality-vs-delusion. Women in women's spaces, men in men's spaces. It's time to throw Obama's words back at the libertarian left: "every debate at some point comes to an end." https://t.co/J2wXzWQl8m

The transgender extremists had a chance to attempt to compromise on some middle-ground agreement that both sides could agree to. Instead, they pursued the maximalist position -- "We win, you lose."

Well, now that race is run, and we've won. The opportunity to compromise has passed. That window has shut.

Now it's "We win, you lose."

You should have considered this possibility when you were boycotting states and cancelling people for refusing to serve as unpaid background players in your live-action delusions.

And then this account published it too. I'm not sure if this is legit or just a fake press release that's being floated.

That said, I do have a bone to pick with Speaker Johnson AND Nancy Mace. The Congress should not enjoy rules and regulations that are not enjoyed by the people.

Johnson does not have the authority to make that decision. I'm pretty sure that authority rests with the Architect of the Capital.

That's how they won the election, spewing culture warfare. I gather he's just waiting for the photo op to show him refusing to shake her hand?

The only reason Mike Johnson (and Mace) wants to force the issue is to humiliate her and to bully her and given the chance they would attack her in the bathroom or locker room or changing room. And I do mean physically attack her.

These people are absurd. Their delusion of a binary Christian Nationalist, well to do, well bred, well fed, society of white people makes me want to 🤢 They are fearful bigots.

Just as they confuse men with women, they also confuse protecting women for bullying. 🤡

Harry Sisson @harryjsisson Nov 19
Sarah McBride is the first transgender member of Congress. In response to her election, Republican Nancy Mace introduced a bill targeting her and what bathroom she uses.

It’s straight up bigotry and bullying. I support Rep.-elect McBride and I hope you do too.

Nancy Mace @NancyMace Nov 19
All these radical left men pushing other men into women’s private spaces shows you how sick they truly are - the Left will do whatever they can to harm women and girls. As a victim of abuse and as an advocate for other women abused by men, four words for you: Over My Dead Body.

It will be further interesting to see how the likes of Sandy Cortez or Nancy Pelosi react to the "rules." Additionally it will be interesting to see how the men react to having it in the men's room with them.

Lastly, how long before there's a "trans-only" facility built to the tune of $250K for this thing to use, so everyone's unhappy with the situation.

LOL seriously? The guy given constitutional power to decide the rules of the house can't make that decision but the architect does?

The only reason Mike Johnson (and Mace) wants to force the issue is to humiliate her and to bully her

Yes, clearly its not about protecting women from a deluded pervert dude trying to bully them into accepting him in their bathrooms.

Before Elon recovered X for free speech, a republican doing this would have been a social media death sentence. Maybe we truly have reached peak woke after all.

Fen, it's called You Can't Run Away From It (1956).

There is a charming late '40s comedy, Without Reservations, with Claudette and John Wayne. She plays a best-selling author whose novel is about to be made into a film. She spots Wayne, a recently discharged Marine, and wants him to play the lead role -- but he's not interested. So she pursues him on a cross-country train trip. I haven't seen it in years, but I loved it as a youth.

Make ni mistake: When thee people dress as women it is a sexual fantasy for them They may not be actively masturbating in public while they are doing, but they are thinking sexual thought and feeling sexual feelings. What is euphemistically called "a thrill."

And that thrill is greatly magnified when other people are forced to watch -- in other words, public transvestism is actually a form of exhibitionism. Exhibitionist get sexually aroused when unwilling people are tricked or forced into looking at them.

So, fo these people, trnsvestism/exhibtonism is a sexual act. And everyone who unwillingly looks at them is part of that sexual act.

Forcing people to participate in your sexual act, without their consent, is by definition rape.

It may be a "mild" form of rape, but it is still rape.

So all these transvestites are literally raping the American public, and no one is allowed to state this fact openly.

But everyone feels it, hat queasy uncomfortable feeling that something gross and coercive is happening.

174 They used bathrooms to get the issue into the public consciousness. And remember the issue is never the issue.

But it was a losing issue. They got NO movement on it, they have won nothing with the public. Usually they push some lunatic thing like "dudes can totally marry" and the society goes "oh shucks okay I guess you can" but this one... this one people stomped their feet into the ground and refused to move, like the Spartan line in 300.

201 My wacky theory for the trans movement is simply a trend in HS for attention. Like my generation's hippie clothing. While I was a hippie without much of a cause in dress, I was a classy hippie and showered, used deoderant, mascara and rocked those bell bottom jeans. And I did things my parents were not crazy about but loved me regardless.

Over ten years ago I heard from a HS teacher in FL that some girls were testing things with bisexuality. He said that one kid declared herself trans, without the parents knowing, and insisted on being called Seth vs Sarah (example). The mother then saw Seth's name on something and freaked out.

To be a mother and sort of push a toddler into trans is evil. Or she did not have the gender of choice. I read about trans parents, with two trans HS children,freaking out after the election. Like I was going to put them in camps. So stupid and tarded.

Back in the 2000's I read a book (and I am sorry I can't remember) about a Christian guy who saw how his gayness was not in line with the Bible. I think he later married and had kids. So some of this memory is fuzzy.

It occurs to me that one way the constitutional structure of the US could have been improved is that new laws don't go into effect if the legislators in that area vote against them.

So if a left wing congress raises taxes and the red states all vote against it only those blue states get the tax increase. You would completely get "no taxation without representation".

Though in Rand's case congress has no role in this outside of potentially allocating funds. There is a foreign force in the country, the executive is required to remove them by any means available.

The fact that there has been a 3-decade abdication of responsibility by the federal government resulting a in a yuuuge backlog of removals doesn't change this. The fact that criminal behavior is wildly, wildly disproportionately concentrated in certain demographics doesn't change this.

Posted by: zombie

----------
This comment is mostly spot on, but you go too far calling it rape. It reduces the importance of that word. It is perversion and repulsive and should be ridiculed, but it is not rape. It is just another of the many insults people have to endure when living in a society.

It is like speech we do not like -- do not call it violence. Public spaces can never be free from things that make us uncomfortable.

I take a different approach. If they really think they are the other sex, then they are insane and need to be institutionalized for their own safety and safety of others.

Keep at it. The characters are great, and she weaves mystery into the plot really well which keeps them interesting. And the world building is so fun.

My favorite is book 3 with Sirius Black. Books 4 until the end grow up with the characters and get darker, so keep that in mind. And after book 4, her fame took off, and her editors got lazy with the editing hammer since she was printing them money. Why is why they are thicker.

But it teaches bravery, the importance of friendship and family, the evils of racism and fascism, the evils of a big government that will slander people to keep itself in power, good and love conquers evil, and that doing what's right even when people call you names is important. In other words, despite being written by a lefty, it is supremely conservative. Hope you both love it!

312 You've never seen some of my brothers' cars back in the day. Or mine right now. But the stuff in my car is mostly books/magazines, brochures from national parks or historic sites that I've visited, etc.

Let's put it this way. A cute girl at work gave me a ride home (I usually walked, since it was only about a mile) because I was feeling under the weather. She had to move fistfulls of stuff from the front seat to the back before I could get in. The footwell was full to the seat level with old fast food wrappers, junk mail partially opened, napkins, paper cups, etc.

That was not the first time I encountered it. Sometimes guys have stuff in the car, but its car stuff, navigation aids, etc. Usually its really orderly, the opposite of our bedrooms LOL

The GOPe handled all these social issues like debates about tax increases.

If the right wants a 20% rate and the left wants 25% we'll "compromise" and offer 23% and the left will agree to 24%.

And it worked even worse on social issues of course because they are binary. Either gay marriage is a thing or not. Either trannies or women are they aren't.

This comment is mostly spot on, but you go too far calling it rape. It reduces the importance of that word. It is perversion and repulsive and should be ridiculed, but it is not rape. It is just another of the many insults people have to endure when living in a society.

It is like speech we do not like -- do not call it violence. Public spaces can never be free from things that make us uncomfortable.

I take a different approach. If they really think they are the other sex, then they are insane and need to be institutionalized for their own safety and safety of others.
Posted by: Gentlemen, time for a reckoning

OK, if 'rape" is too strong a word, then let's downgrade it a bit to "sexual assault."

Sexual assult does exist on a spectrum. At the most extreme is forced penetrative sex with a stranger, at the most mild end an uninvited pat on the butt or pressing up against a woman in a crowded subway,with many gradations in between.

Public transvestism is on that spectrum, a coercive sexual act perpetrated against an unwilling victim.

So, I went to the mens room, which had no line. The guys in front of me and behind me in line, kicked everyone out and let me in to pee.

I read in reddit, the gutter of the world as I don't bother with the Dim Underground, that there are now female "incels" and a parent reported to the reddit mind hive that she was worried about her daughter being one. I think like that school killer in Nashville. Collectively hate men and normies.

Because she/it/pronoun liked Legos at age 19yrs and avoiding college, she/it was possibly autistic. This was the conclusion vs being bat shit insane and a potential sociopath.

She also belonged, online, to creeps like herself.

I just do not know. We somehow raised normal sons and our grandson and granddaughter seem normal. They do like Legos.

Posted by: Thomas Paine at November 20, 2024 03:27 PM (lTGtQ)

I find it very instructive (and relevant to the situations in California and Germany) that Energy was the focal point of the failure of everything. Cuba never produced its own (could they have? Interesting question). Since Russia was shipping them free oil, they used only oil generators for their power systems, now obsolete. Russia went broke; Maduro in Venezuela started giving them free oil. Then Maduro went broke, and Cuba has no foreign currency to buy oil from anyone with.
So, electric generation shuts down island wide. The few scraps of oil they can find goes to the generators, so transportation shuts down. No more garbage trucks, trash is piled high in every street. No more transportation, no more food getting brought in to the cities. It’s a classic death spiral where every step down causes even more dominoes to fall.

The pronouns is just the latest leftist assault on the English language which at started 30+ years ago by demanding words like chairman be changed to chairperson (awkward as hell.) Now the all too common use of 'she' when gender of subject is unknown (it was always 'he', which became neutral, for all previous written history) Even worse is when the writer switches back and forth in a single paragraph (talk about confusing!) There are many others that are destroying the English language.

The ﬁrst French Revolution cut the throat of the Antilles, and the second will produce the same effect on this vast continent.

No one cared about anything, everything was in a shambles, garbage strewn everywhere, trains were days late with no explanation, everyone was paranoid and rude, half the men seemed unemployed, would just sit in groups on some crumbling cement wall, get drunk on rotgut liquor, and then smash the bottles on the ground.

One of the things that is really starting to build up unrest in Cuba is the knowledge that all existing good food and drink is carefully hoarded for Westerners who visit and pay with hard currency; while the native Cubans are only given old beans and dirty water to eat and drink. Even the French peasants in 1790 weren't treated as callously as the Cuban people are being treated now. Why does it persist? I suspect because the US has functioned as a pressure valve for decades. Anyone with any spirit or ability for decades has been able to flee Cuba, so who is left there? The old, the sick, the mentally deficient, all of those who are completely unable to function with no one to take care of them. Get a population mix like this, and society can easily just collapse.

And my sons found girls to marry in college. So I did not have to go more insane than what the cassanova son put me through with all his girls. When you discussed Christine's or Amy's in his past we numbered them. I am pretty sure he inherited his waywardness from his father, woman's man til me.

Son did the online dating deal, after a total beetch broke his heart, and I told him, they can lie!!! I worried he might have a trans event surprise date. If he did he did not tell me. GROSS

489 I find it very instructive (and relevant to the situations in California and Germany) that Energy was the focal point of the failure of everything. Cuba never produced its own (could they have? Interesting question). Since Russia was shipping them free oil, they used only oil generators for their power systems, now obsolete. Russia went broke; Maduro in Venezuela started giving them free oil. Then Maduro went broke, and Cuba has no foreign currency to buy oil from anyone with.
So, electric generation shuts down island wide. The few scraps of oil they can find goes to the generators, so transportation shuts down. No more garbage trucks, trash is piled high in every street. No more transportation, no more food getting brought in to the cities. It’s a classic death spiral where every step down causes even more dominoes to fall.

I have been on and off of Ace's bloggie thing for many years. No one has offended me as I know it is mostly in jest, as Morons are funny.

I am also the sister of brothers and mother of sons and not much offends me. A guy my son's age was on a cross country flight with me a few years ago. I offered to swap seats with some of this group and he announced, loudly, that he was flatulent. I told him about my all male life as well as being a RN and that I doubted he could say anything to offend me.

We had a blast drinking across the country. My husband said I had gin reeking from my pores when he picked me up at the airport. I love men. Have had many male platonic friends in college.

Comcast Announces It's Dumping MSNBC and Other Dying Cable Channels

Comcast is making a major play to displace Groomer Corporation Disney as America's top tourist destination with its Epic Universe theme park in Orlando.

What they don't need is Disney's disgusting baggage in the form of toxic extremist politics.

I'm just guessing about the relationship between these stories. No one is saying this.

Whether my guess is true or not, Comcast is attempting to ditch MSNBC, and sooner rather than later.

John Nolte says the move is just for purposes of separating Comcast's viable properties from its dying ones, so that its stock price isn't weighed down by dying cable channels.

Maybe.

With the inevitable death of cable TV accelerating, communications giant Comcast has decided to cut its losses and separate from MSNBC and other cable networks.
"Comcast Corporation today announced its intent to create a new publicly traded company comprised of a strong portfolio of NBCUniversal's cable television networks, including USA Network, CNBC, MSNBC, Oxygen, E!, SYFY and Golf Channel," read a company statement.
Also spinning off into the new company are the "complementary digital assets including Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes, GolfNow and Sports Engine[.]"
For now, Comcast is calling this new company "SpinCo."
Here's what Comcast will hold onto...
"The planned spin-off will also strategically position NBCUniversal with its leading broadcast and streaming media properties, including NBC entertainment, sports, news and Bravo -- which all power Peacock -- along with Telemundo, the theme parks business and film and television studios."
NBCUniversal is, of course, the NBC broadcast network and the film and TV studio, Universal Studios. Bravo, which originally launched in 1980 as an upscale performing arts network, is now a powerhouse of reality TV. It delivers programming that's cheap to produce (Real Housewives franchise, Top Chef, Project Runway, etc.), that attracts millions of viewers, and makes insane profits. Bravo is vital to Comcast's streaming platform, Peacock (which will also remain with the mother ship), not only because its programming is popular but Peacock subscribers love to dig in and binge those shows.
...
So why is Comcast dumping the rest? Three reasons... 1) stock price, 2) stock price, 3) stock price.
Cable TV is dying. It is a slow death, one I've been documenting for a decade, and we have now reached the beginning of the end.

I saw a claim, either on X or in the comments, that NBC was attempting to distance itself from MSNBC, even though NBC "News" is just as bad as MSNBC and features many of the same "journalists," and supposedly was cutting off ties with MSNBC. But I can't see that being reported anywhere.

The Flagrantly Adulterous Duo of Joe and Mika joked -- or "joked" -- "We can be fired tomorrow," discussing the move.

From your lips to God's ears, Hitler-Lovers.

So a buyer for the Golf Channel has to take all of the other crap to make a deal. I think this is primarily a spinoff so that this new entity can declare bankruptcy, and not take down Comcast as a whole.

70 Morning Joe suffers ratings nosedive after hosts met Trump at Mar-a-Lago. 56 minutes after the hosts began explaining their trip to the Trump residence, viewing figures began to tumble. Between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m., they had fallen 17 percent from 839,000 to 694,000.

I believe those two don't care about their own ratings. They bent the knee, and now they’re happy to have avoided hanging on the wall.

They both have plenty of money. They are trying to stay out of the Rapist's Gulag. I'll give them another 2 months - at the most - before they are cancelled. It is their audience they need to cater to.

I had MSNBC on my TV 24/7 during the week before the election, but sparsely after Nov 5. After Monday's MJ confession, MSNBC hasn't been on once. Not even for Jen & Rachel on Monday. It's part protest, but it's also part "i need to get my head out of this political space that's occupied it for months"

Their ratings sucked even before this. How can a network survive on only 800,000 eyeballs? Anything under 4 million should be canceled immediately. Can we at least have over 1 percent of the population watch a show?

But that got ruined when LIV golf came along and someone in control on that channel decided that it would be the 24-7 hate LIV “Saudi sportswashing” channel. They wouldn’t shut their traps about how evil is Greg Norman and Phil Mickelson and the “bonesaw league”… I just got sick of it and stopped watching.

It was humorous about a year or so ago when the PGA announced their intention to partner with LIV and all of the sudden everyone was singing a different tune.

91 SpinCo or something very similar is common for the initial name for a new company to hold "spun off" assets

Posted by: Elric The Blade

Yes, spinco is a generic name given to an entity that will take on the unwanted assets and then transfer them to a new entity after the spinoff. It is just funny that they used spinco as a name for channels that literally do nothing but spin.

It's a self inflicted death.
Simply because they never allowed ala carte channels. You had to take all thousand channels for an exorbitant price instead of simply paying for the four or five channels you watched.

I watched Animal Planet, Discovery, the Hitler Channel and maybe one or two others BUT I had to pay the $100+ price tag dragging along the Watching Paint Dry (golf) and Tennis Channels.

98 Pulling from other thread:
>>> Exactly two weeks after Donald J. Trump defeated Kamala Harris in both the popular vote and the electoral college, David Hogg met with “researchers and activists” to figure out how to lure young men back to the Democrat Party.

SMOD, I could save the researchers and activists the David Hogg consulting fee and just point them to ShoeonHead's vid about why the dems lost males. But I'm ok if they never figure this out, and the redpilled males still vote red in the midterms and 2028.

Her roasting of those masculine men for Kamala ads with the soyboy actors, instead of finding real men, was pretty great.

I mean, the story is that he just happened to be at the prosecutor's home at 2 am, decided it was a good time to jerk off, and then when discovered by the prosecutor he decided it was a great time to rob her. That does not add up to me.

Apparently, she moonlights as an escort. He procured her services, made use of them, and then refused to pay.

I may have made all that up but, then again, sex work is work and he's not Matt Gaetz.

I watch lots of golf on the Golf Channel. I would be bummed if it got disappeared, but I would also understand. In a post-Tiger world, golf is reverting back to its fringe state. I cancelled Peacock because they dumped Indycar (now on Fox). I still watch IMSA (still on Peacock) but they show their races on Youtube a week or two after the live events. I work shift work, I hardly watch anything 'live'. Sports is going to go through a massive change due to cable tv's collapse and the streaming world struggling to replace it.

I’m as excited as the rest of you, but the left still has a lot of power in this country. One election won’t change that, but this might be a turning point.

I’ll celebrate when Obergefell is overturned and 30 states outlaw gay marriage and invalidate all existing gay marriages within their borders.

The parodies of these on FB Reels and TikTok are hysterical. Not to disparage the indie authors that write this stuff, they do 4-5 books a year and are workhorses. But I've thought about giving it a try under a pseudonym. This stuff is catnip crack to middle age women, and ever since the pandemic the push for cozy anything--cozy romance, cozy mystery, cozy fantasy--has not died down. It is a tempting side hustle. But you have to produce like a machine or the indie book audience gets bored.

It's more of a display shelving. They weeded them out of their package deals. That way the investors look at the regular programing as their product and base future earnings on those statistics. The ones in SpinTV should probably be called "the bargain bin." Those are assets they are willing to sell. And, by separating them out, it doesn't screw up subscriptions already in place when someone buys MSNBC and turns it into something completely different (or just cannibalizes the physical assets) and liquidates.

305 The utter failure of cable TV is an issue that needs to be addressed by Congress. American taxpayers no doubt spent billions of dollars to wire the entire country with cable in the last 50 years, so we have skin in the game. Unfortunately, the business model of the mega corporations who control cable is to subsidize channels nobody watches with the subscriber fees of people who don’t watch. Now that that no longer works, they are simply going belly up. How about stepping in and preventing them from doing that so we get some return on our investment for once? À la carte pricing for all.

The fact that the kicker was allowed to walk off the court without being taken to task ( aka getting his ass kicked ) really pissed me off.

Even if you don't normally fight, you have to protect your partner. You may get hit, you may get hurt, but you don't let your partner go unavenged for a cheap shot like that kick to the face.

313 The parodies of these on FB Reels and TikTok are hysterical. Not to disparage the indie authors that write this stuff, they do 4-5 books a year and are workhorses. But I've thought about giving it a try under a pseudonym. This stuff is catnip crack to middle age women, and ever since the pandemic the push for cozy anything--cozy romance, cozy mystery, cozy fantasy--has not died down. It is a tempting side hustle. But you have to produce like a machine or the indie book audience gets bored.

I have read a lot of them since my mother and sister had a bunch and I couldn't carry 10 books to Xmas vacation I needed something to read. The good ones are pretty entertaining since you could do anything with it under the main plot - Gal meets boy, misunderstanding 1 happens and she hates him, event 2 happens and she realizes she loves him and he hates her now then crisis 3 happens and everything is fixed up and its happy time. If its light adult throw in some sex scenes in there. But the framing around that can be anything - I remember one where the dude is a time traveller.

NBC was able to get rights to sports leagues and then move them to their cable networks when needed. NBC has used USA network for NASCAR, college sports, and English Premier League for years now.

387 I've posted this before but the US and New Zealand are the only two countries that allow pharm ads on TV. It is appalling as the risks of many of the drugs they are selling have very harmful if not deadly side effects for some people. They also send out a very bad message to kids and young people that just a pill a day can take all of your troubles away.
Posted by: Cheri

They also employ out of work auctioneers to read off the side effects very rapidly.
Posted by: Thomas Paine

I think it should be like gross sidebar ads. If your drug can cause gangrene, projectile vomiting, liver cancer, and diarrhea, you should have to include a two or three second still pic or video of each side effect in your drug commercial.

If nothing else, the stiffy pill ads will go away, since a picture of "priapism" won't get past the censors.

401 Fen, I have some ideas for cozy romances! I really love the old films like It Happened One Night and Shop Around the Corner. Want to do some cozy romance stories that pull from what made the classic romances great, vs the Hollywood fluff they call romcoms nowadays. Woke kind of killed the romcom off. Only a few have really emerged from this era that I like.

(Yes I know you've got mail was an update of the shop around the corner. But that kind of idea of vivid, interesting characters, sharp men and women with fun dialogue sorting out their feelings while wackiness ensues. With some deeper themed b plots going on that ground the fluff.)

Under a strict interpretation of the old Mann Act, yes. But, they have revised it to make it easier. Scotus case in the 20's involved a married man buying a ticket for him and his fancy lady to go from California to Nevada for a bit of illicit fun. The old Mann act required merely that you cross state lines with an immoral purpose in mind. Scotus agreed that a married man paying for going across state lines for his mistress for a quickie affair was included under the scope of the act. Conviction affirmed.

Chuck Barry among others ran afoul of that act and it was a terror among the DC yutes of a certain age about getting into trouble over it.

It was probably more because the Greek adult men were idealizing pre-pubescent male bodies, since that’s what they were having sex with.

You'll be shocked to learn in all of them the attractive (but not too attractive) young-ish (but not too young) leading lady meets a disproportionately attractive man who nearly instantly throws himself at her. She inevitably resists for some reason, but then eventually decides he's the guy for her. They live happily ever after.

Oldcat, I read an interesting article lately by a woman who is addicted to dating Mr. Big types. She said it's easy to judge women like Carrie Bradshaw harshly until you've dated one. They are charismatic forces of nature, pushing through their career like a battering ram. And that kind of driving force is also in their dating lives. That it was almost a drug, having such an alpha male type want you But yes, the downsides are accepting you're going to be on the sidelines to their work, and that they aren't sensitive souls who will dig deeply into your feelings. She had to be ok with that for it to work. It sounds exhausting and lonely to me, but for the right woman I can see it working.

Grit is a good source for Westerns, including TV ones like The Rifleman. But they clip off the end credits and run them in a tiny box in the lower left corner *while the final scene is playing*. That annoys me; if I want to know who played whom, I have to go to IMDb.

Want to do some cozy romance stories that pull from what made the classic romances great, vs the Hollywood fluff they call romcoms nowadays. Woke kind of killed the romcom off. Only a few have really emerged from this era that I like.

(Yes I know you've got mail was an update of the shop around the corner. But that kind of idea of vivid, interesting characters, sharp men and women with fun dialogue sorting out their feelings while wackiness ensues. With some deeper themed b plots going on that ground the fluff.)

I read a lot of early SF, Stanley Weinbaum from the 30s and a lot of his stuff is framed as a romance arc, guy meets girl on jungle planet Venus, misunderstandings happen and they figure it out and get married in the end. There are even sequels where the married couple explore more planets.

I don't think modern romance does that, having the couple start out married much anymore.

That it was almost a drug, having such an alpha male type want you But yes, the downsides are accepting you're going to be on the sidelines to their work, and that they aren't sensitive souls who will dig deeply into your feelings. She had to be ok with that for it to work. It sounds exhausting and lonely to me, but for the right woman I can see it working.

527 Fen, I have some ideas for cozy romances! I really love the old films like It Happened One Night and Shop Around the Corner. Want to do some cozy romance stories that pull from what made the classic romances great, vs the Hollywood fluff they call romcoms nowadays. Woke kind of killed the romcom off. Only a few have really emerged from this era that I like.

(Yes I know you've got mail was an update of the shop around the corner. But that kind of idea of vivid, interesting characters, sharp men and women with fun dialogue sorting out their feelings while wackiness ensues. With some deeper themed b plots going on that ground the fluff.)

I did something that pissed her off, she pissed at me about it and stormed off.

I stayed my usual, then went home. We talked and I told her that that's my 'place' and my environment. If you don't like it, fine, but we're going to have a problem. I don't do anything wrong, I don't cheat and I come home to you. If that's going to bug you, then this isn't going to work.

556 Oldcat, you're thinking of Affair to Remember!! Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr!! Yes, she's running to meet him at the Empire State Building and gets hit by the car. The grandma subplot in that always gets me.

(People want to say Cary Grant was gay, but he filmed Affair right after his love affair with Sophia Loren imploded and she wouldn't marry him. He was bitter and lovesick, and he poured those feelings into the film. I think it's his best acting ever. Deborah was having her marriage implode at the same time. They bonded as friends during the film since they were both were having romance troubles, I think it's why they have such great chemistry.)

It happened one night has Clark Gable and the dialog is fantastic. The walls of Jericho!

I'll have to check out those old sci-fi books with the romance subplots! I'm interested in that, especially ones with married couples. I think it's an interesting challenge.

***
Fen, it's called You Can't Run Away From It (1956).

There is a charming late '40s comedy, Without Reservations, with Claudette and John Wayne. She is a best-selling author, and her novel is about to be made into a film.

The Illegal Alien Who Murdered Laken Reilly, With An Assist from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Is Convicted on Ten Counts
Update: Tren De Aragua "Migrant" Arrested for Robbing Manhattan Prosecutor After Masturbating In Her Home

If only we had a border at which we could stop foreigners from entering the country until we investigated them and approved their entry.

The illegal Venezuelan immigrant charged in the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley was found guilty on Wednesday.

Prosecutors said during the trial that the defendant, Jose Ibarra, 26, who is linked to the Tren de Aragua gang, was out "hunting for females" on Feb. 22 when he targeted Riley, 22, while she was jogging.
Ibarra faces life in jail without the possibility of parole.
He was convicted on three counts of felony murder, one count of malice murder, one count of kidnapping with bodily injury, one count of aggravated assault with intent to rape and one "peeping Tom" count.

🚨JUST IN: Judge reads verdicts in trial of Jose Ibarra for the m*rder of Laken Riley.

GUILTY on 10 Counts. pic.twitter.com/mqdc6ccXxH

It was revealed during the trial that this disgusting "female hunter" rapist and killer had been given a free "humanitarian" flight by Biden to travel from NYC to Athens, Georgia.

According to the roommate of the illegal immigrant who killed Laken Riley, he was flown to Georgia by a flight that was funded by the taxpayers. Absolutely amazing! #txlege pic.twitter.com/DfFUN53inC

In New York City, meanwhile, Soros DA Alvin Bragg continues maliciously, racially prosecuting "the white man" for defending a subway car full of terrified people from a mentally ill thug.

And now a mental patient with a long, long history of violent crime was just let out of Rikers after being sentenced to "time served" (which is when a judge sentences you to the time you've already spent in processing and pre-trial detention -- in other words, "no time" at all).

That mental patient went on a stabbing spree murdering three innocent people. The third victim died in the hospital overnight.

Skip to 1:45 to see the local news report.

Prosecute Bragg. Prosecute Soros.

I don't care for what. They weren't choosy about what to charge Trump with. They just knew they wanted him prosecuted.

Okay, those are the rules.

Let's play.

Update: A Venenzuelan "migrant" with connections to Tren De Aragua arrested for robbing... a Manhattan prosecutor.

The Manhattan "prosecutor," a woman, discovered the "migrant" masturbating inside her home.

A Venezuelan migrant with links to Tren de Aragua has been arrested for allegedly robbing one of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg�s prosecutors in her apartment building after she busted him masturbating, police sources told The Post Wednesday.
Brandon Simosa, 25, who has apparent ties to the vicious prison gang, was nabbed outside the Row Hotel migrant shelter in Midtown Manhattan Tuesday night over the sick ordeal, the sources said.
He is accused of robbing the 38-year-old assistant district attorney when she arrived home to her 44th Street pad at about 2 a.m. Sunday and busted him midway through the lewd act in the building's hallway.

Incredible.

Sentence him to time served!

Oh, just kidding. He robbed someone who matters, a certified member of the Regime. The Regime will punish him for bothering Someone Who Matters.

64 About the illegals being flown around the US...

The feds have been doing this since day one. Chartered flights out of municipal airports to other municipal airports. Not much in the way of witnesses. Chartered busses to the nearest town with NGO's ready to help. Illegals with new clothes, a phone and a debit card, refilled by the Feds with at least $10K on it.

They've been slowly trying to repopulate small, red towns and cities across the nation with illegals. They were hoping to have another decade of it to tilt the balance of power irrevocably in their favor.

They are still very close to it.

So I haven't heard about "maintaining frame" before, and I'm fascinated. What does that look like for my particular situation? How do I maintain frame when they push back and do emotional blackmail? The "if you loved me, you'd feel or do x/y/z?" What do I say to counterbalance that? Because I'm naturally a people pleaser, and I want to back down to keep the peace. But I can't do that anymore, I know it's unhealthy.

And Nurse, thanks. *hugs* I don't mind people saying what they want to say here when trans issues pop up, I don't get offended. Or people thinking I should take a hard line and tell them to pound sand. I love we all think differently here. It helps me see all sides of things and reframe my own beliefs and arguments. But yeah, it's tougher when it's my own sibling, who was once my best friend. It's absolutely gutting.

Thanks for everyone's advice and opinions! I appreciate them.

it's not that odd, unfortunately. I think they call these people "cat burglars," for some reason. (I know that's not the glamorous kind of "cat burglar.") It's common for very low-functioning animals to break into a home and masturbate. They leave their DNA there.

They also take dumps in people's homes. Why? They're animals. They're marking territory.

"...during his time in the Big Apple, Simosa racked up a hefty rap sheet — six busts in the last five months alone — police sources said, though due to the city’s sanctuary status US Immigration and Customs Enforcement wouldn’t have been alerted to the arrests by local authorities.

Simosa was picked up just last week for grand larceny and criminal mischief in Manhattan and later cut loose, police sources said.

He was also arrested for a string of grand larceny, robbery, and transit evasion incidents in Queens between June and August, per sources."

So I haven't heard about "maintaining frame" before, and I'm fascinated. What does that look like for my particular situation? How do I maintain frame when they push back and do emotional blackmail? The "if you loved me, you'd feel or do x/y/z?" What do I say to counterbalance that? Because I'm naturally a people pleaser, and I want to back down to keep the peace. But I can't do that anymore, I know it's unhealthy.

Can't believe I am saying this but Brave's AI response was actually a good beginning point.

Here is a bit of it.
Maintaining frame refers to the ability to regulate one’s emotional expressions, boundaries, and leadership in social interactions, relationships, and conversations. It involves setting and enforcing one’s own rules, values, and perspectives, while also being adaptable and responsive to others. A strong frame is essential for effective communication, conflict resolution, and building strong relationships.

168 Brandon Simosa, 25, who has apparent ties to the vicious prison gang, was nabbed outside the Row Hotel migrant shelter in Midtown Manhattan Tuesday night over the sick ordeal, the sources said.

He is accused of robbing the 38-year-old assistant district attorney when she arrived home to her 44th Street pad at about 2 a.m. Sunday and busted him midway through the lewd act in the building's hallway.

186 I think we should go a step further than playing by their rules. For example, to facilitate the ruse that fewer people are entering the country illegally, the Immigration Dept. and the Federal Government started transporting illegals to processing locations via air and vehicle. As these individuals are here illegally, and the transporting took place before any processing, the Federal Government and the Immigration Offices are aiding and abetting a crime.

So, lets start filing charges on the state level against Federal Employees.

Nationwide. Ring v. Arizona (scotus case) forbid judges alone from issuing death sentences.

Instead, a death qualified jury must weigh all the aggravating and mitigating circumstances in almost a mini trial setting before a jury can vote to impose the death sentence.

Usually because it make one of their grievance groups looks bad.
For example, when the women are victims of their own group's miscreants.

That's also why dead, raped or disappeared black women and latinas don't get a lot of airplay. They're victims of their own group's miscreants.

And since all of those people are officially in the "Oppressed" category, it would be racist to criticize their in-group practices and interactions from the perspective of American law and American mores, since those are white constructs designed with the express purpose of oppressing personal of color, etc. etc.

All of which is the long winded Leftist way to say, "You can't hold non whites to civilized standards because they're not capable of living up to them."

275 Oh, and LizLem,

Maintaining frame is shorthand for Maintaining Frame of Reference. Those who are emotional wrecking balls try consistently to pull other people into accepting their frame of reference as to a situation. Repeated capitulations end up where one comes to accept the other's worldview as what is normal, true, and beautiful. E.g. brainwashing and indoctrination.

Maintaining frame indicates that one is not going to accept others' lies instead of truth, ugliness instead of beauty, and abnormal for normal.

Useful really for almost all human relations with others if one wants to be an individual as distinct from the hive mind blob.

So true. So called liberals, are the most racist, bigoted, misogynistic personalities you will ever meet. The woke agenda prevents them from indulging their character flaws against their preferred objects of hatred. So they substitute based upon another "outgroup" identifier.... politics, religion, whatever the in group designates. Then they can indulge their seething hatred and contempt. They simply must have a scapegoat class to feel better than. Without a group to oppress and denigrate they are left with self reflection... and THAT does not go well.

I've shared this before, but a friend of mine from Africa said one of the differences between his village in Africa vs America is that in Africa, it's understood that if you are a kid doing dumb crap, anyone in the village is allowed to smack you upside the head and teach you manners and respect. And if you go crying to mommy, she'll say well served you right. There is a social aspect to enforcing behaviors and morality. Which I think for some, gets untethered once they immigrate to countries of Western European descent, which do NOT currently have communal discipline, and that cultural standard of shared social discipline is suddenly gone. I think some of the violence we see in cities stems from these cultural clashes.

All of this to say, It Takes A Village. But we've burned and demonized the old villages and ways of life that build strong, moral people and communities. So there is chaos.

Audience of women. Apparently white women also love true crime networks and story lines.

If one has ever experienced violent crime or lived in a crime infested neighborhood, there is nothing charming about criminals nor what they do. They are appalling specimens of human behavior. Contrary to stupid examples in news coverage, they never just 'snap' but have a long history of disturbing if not illegal behavior prior to their current arrest.

For some it is. But like cigarettes, you start as a teen and continue throughout life as a regular user, it will have its cost just like being an alkie would.

The increase in potency of THC in what is sold today, product adulteration, and its inclusion in products like edibles means a very different result on physiology versus the weed of the 60's and 70's.

But it is also a marker just like girls that liked to smoke cigs and get tattoos were signalling approval of risky behavior.

Hell, if I were 30 and making good enough money, I'd check into test-driving one, too. Jaguars are supposed to be more solid and reliable than they were when Ford owned them, or before that, when they used parts like Lucas electrics that failed on a regular basis ("Lucas: Prince of Darkness"!).

The insurance alone in this benighted state would impoverish me, though. And while I have an excellent independent mechanic, he warned me long ago that Jaguar parts are no cheaper than Mercedes parts. Plus the Jags need premium fuel, which the Buick does not. Bzzzt! So sorry, thank you for playing!

Ace, Gonzalez is showboating because the defendant chose a bench trial. Under Scotus decision, Ring v. Arizona, judges are not allowed to impose death penalty as punishment. Only juries can in a bifurcated means. Part one is conviction of the equivalent of first degree aka capital murder charges.

The second, involves almost a mini trial that must have the jury consider any mitigating factors versus aggravating factors involved in the offense before a jury sentences someone to death.

If a defendant selects a bench trial, the death penalty is automatically off the table in any DP state.

I guess the issue hinges on whether the bride let the guests know ahead of time in the invitation that the food at the reception was going to be vegan. If she did, and they ordered pizza at the reception anyway, then they are the rude ones. They should either have declined the invitation or just attended the wedding and skipped the reception.

If the bride did not inform the guests ahead of time, then she is the rude one.

Posted by: G'rump928(c) at November 20, 2024 01:32 PM (aD39U)

I guess I should have read the finding. He had a jury trial but AZ law allowed the judge further investigating.

Facts of the case
At Timothy Ring's trial for murder, the jury deadlocked on premeditated murder, but found Ring guilty of felony murder occurring in the course of armed robbery. Under Arizona law, Ring could not be sentenced to death, unless further findings were made by a judge conducting a separate sentencing hearing and only if the judge finds at least one aggravating circumstance and no mitigating circumstances sufficiently substantial to call for leniency. Because the jury had convicted Ring of felony murder, not premeditated murder, Ring would be eligible for the death penalty only if he was the victim's actual killer. Citing accomplice testimony at the sentencing hearing, the judge found that Ring was the killer. The judge then found two aggravating factors, ... , and ruled that the latter did not call for leniency.

Yes it is. Simply put, a jury would be required to weigh those factors not a judge. See Ring "Accordingly, Walton is overruled to the extent that it allows a sentencing judge, sitting without a jury, to find an aggravating circumstance necessary for imposition of the death penalty. " Pretty conclusive language from Ring itself. See the case syllabus.

They had that evidence due to his stalking the victim prior to her death for the purposes of rape and kidnapping along with a peeping Tom statute conviction along with the capital murder charge.

E.g., from news,
"Prosecutors have charged Ibarra with multiple counts, including felony murder, malice murder, kidnapping with bodily injury, aggravated assault with intent to rape, and “peeping Tom.” The evidence presented so far includes forensic, digital, and video evidence, including cellphone data and a bloody jacket allegedly linked to Ibarra."

660 Whig, Ring vs. AZ had to do with a case heard by a jury, but the judge imposed the death penalty using criteria set by AZ law, considering various factors. SC said nope, can't impose a punishment that would otherwise be forbidden by the actual findings of fact by the jury. Not applicable in this case, as there was no jury trial. Such a rule as you're suggesting would be an obvious way for a defendant (who knew he was guilty and would be found so) to avoid a death penalty.

You are trying to distinguish the case but if you actually read the decision, it was a continuation of elevating juries over judges such as in Apprendi.

Specifically, the legal question presented to the court was "Ring's claim is tightly delineated: He contends only that the Sixth Amendment required jury findings on the aggravating circumstances asserted against him."

The court held, "For the reasons stated, we hold that Walton and Apprendi are irreconcilable; our Sixth Amendment jurisprudence cannot be home to both. Accordingly, we overrule Walton to the extent that it allows a sentencing judge, sitting without a jury, to find an aggravating circumstance"

Posted by: mnw

I am not sure that a defendant choosing a bench trial could not also chose that for sentencing given how Scotus currently reads the 6th Amendment as an individual right, not one of the state.

IN GA, the relevant death penalty statute is 17-10-31, and states, "(a) Where, upon a trial by jury, a person is convicted of an offense which may be punishable by death, a sentence of death shall not be imposed unless the jury verdict includes a finding of at least one statutory aggravating circumstance and a recommendation that such sentence be imposed. "

Nothing in the GA Code found at 17-10-30 to 44 indicate a judge being able to convene a jury after a bench trial for death penalty sentencing.

Wednesday Morning Rant

Managed Democracy

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress - a 1966 science fiction book by Robert A. Heinlein, about revolution in a lunar penal colony - spends a lot of time on the general discussion of government as such. This became quite explicit toward the end of the book, but it is peppered throughout the overall work. When I was reading it for the first time, one brief passage - really, more of a quote - stuck with me. As I've returned to the book from time to time, it still stands out as one of the great descriptions of government and its press.

But India keeps quiet because she gets the lion's share from Luna ... and then 'plays politics with hunger' - a phrase you may remember - by using our grain to control her elections. Kerala had a planned famine last year. Did you see it in the news?"
"No."
"Because it wasn't in the news. A managed democracy is a wonderful thing, Manuel, for the managers ... and its greatest strength is a 'free press' when 'free' is defined as 'responsible' and the managers define what is 'irresponsible.' ...

A wonderful thing for the managers, indeed. It's good to be the king. But what happens when there's a breakdown in management, for whatever reason?

We may be seeing something like that. I am not so naive as to assert "the deep state is finished, the Party is on the run and liberty is ascendant" - but the scurrying scramble over the past few weeks has been interesting. Ace has covered much of it detail. The Party couldn't or wouldn't keep nature from taking its course this year, and has either permitted Trump to be elected or has retreated this round. But the Managers are out in full force during this brief lull between administrations.

The "responsible" Press continues its vaguely schizophrenic caterwaul, leveling both barrels in a continuous barrage at the Hated Enemy Within while simultaneously bemoaning its waning relevance. The Managers of Press and State are openly calling for and scheming bureaucratic resistance against any diminution of their management authority. Publicly in the newspapers and on TV and privately in conference rooms and offices across Washington, they are planning and positioning to repeat their feat of containment from 2016-2020.

The Managers are enthusiastically and openly violating the law in an effort to ensure that its enemies don't get too comfortable with their margins or too ambitious. The naked attempt to steal the Senate election in Pennsylvania is as galling as it is unsurprising. They even know it's flatly illegal. They don't care. They must maintain Management Prerogatives. Overturned or not, successful or not, the attempt is being made in broad daylight. The Managers must manage, after all.

Throughout government, the Managers are jockeying for position. Agencies across the board are starting to scrub evidence of their arrogant malfeasance from their public portals as, for example, DEI is seemingly vanishing before our eyes. Behind the scenes, the amount of data being destroyed and the amount of paper being crosscut into one-millimeter squares is likely stupendous. The notable Managers (like Wray) who have specifically drawn the ire of the incoming administration are positioning themselves to fight or quit or be fired - but surely to pass the baton on their way out if it comes to that.

But why are so many of the likely doomed engaging in the mad scramble? To defend their system, of course. They are positioning things to make any interference with Management harder. From amping up the conflict in Ukraine to positioning state and local governments to work against any displeasing new federal rules to planning mass insubordination within the administrative bureaus, everything is taking on an aggressive defensive position. I don't know what the offensive position will look like, but it is surely coming.

Their Managed Democracy was painstakingly built, hard won and will be jealously and zealously defended. They will not surrender it easily. They will not surrender it all. It will have to be wrested away from them and dismantled. I look forward to seeing if Trump and his new team of heavy hitters are up to the task of effectively executing the opening stages of what will be a generational conflict for the future of government.

The woman on the Bucks Co. electoral board who had declared that nobody needed to obey the law has now said people misunderstood. It was all just a big misunderstanding, due to you people being so stupid.

F*** off, wannabe Hitler.

Bucks County Board of Commissioners Chair Diane Ellis-Marseglia said Monday that her comments about violating the Pennsylvania Supreme Court were taken out of context after they set off a national backlash against the county’s election board.

Ellis-Marseglia, a Democrat, blamed a “misinterpretation of [an] inartfully worded statement on my part” after her comment drew rebukes from President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign and the state’s Democratic governor, among a host of others, after Bucks County was one of several that defied a guidance from the state’s high court and voted to accept undated mail ballots

21 That's a good 'quote' that's true of democracy since its creation.

I have an excerpt from Tides of War by Pressler that's stayed with me about the differences between the Left and Right,

Spartans are courageous but not bold. Athenians are bold but not courageous.

Boldness is impatient. Courage is long-suffering. Boldness cannot endure hardship or delay; it is ravenous, it must feed on victory or it dies. Boldness makes its seat upon the air; it is gossamer and phantom. Courage plants its feet upon the earth and draws its strength from God’s holy fundament.

The bold man is prideful, brazen, ambitious. The brave man calm, God-fearing, steady. The bold man seeks to divide; he wants his own and will shoulder his brother aside to loot it. The brave man unites. He succors his fellow, knowing that what belongs to the commonwealth belongs to him as well. The bold man covets; he sues his neighbor in the law court, he intrigues, he dissembles. The brave man is content with his lot; he respects that portion the gods have granted and husband it, comporting himself with humility as heaven’s steward.

22 As 2020 was never systematically and seriously analyzed (election fraud), AFAIK, I have no expectation we will see anything about 2024. I was out of the country for the election, but am still wondering how states that had (outrageously, that is to say now routinely and matter-of-factly) announced that results would take days or weeks, had apparently normal processes that resulted in election night calls. MI, PA, AZ, GA - others?

This relates to Joe's line here that the PTB "wouldn't or couldn't" prevent Trump's victory. Of course they burned down what was left of America's institutions, norms, and unwritten standards in their harassment and prosecutions of Trump in the last 18 months. So - why let him win?

Christopher Nolan offered to make two Bond movies set in 1960. The studio, allergic to billions of dollars declined.

You can see he was pitching himself as a maybe Bond director how he did Inception and Tenet.

Nolan is American by birth, which is a factor maybe.

I will not tolerate terrorizing communities or threatening Arizonan.”

Posted by: rhomboid

Most of the massive fraud effort in 2020 was built around Covid (prevention of ballots being inspected, turning off signature verification, etc.) and absentee ballots. 2024 was a reversion in most states back to pre-2020 election standards and laws. That is what killed the big cheat but now even rank and file Dems are wondering about the missing 7-10 million Biden votes that did not appear for Kamala.

Gives a bipartisan opening to go after the whole cheat machine for Trump if he wants to go there including 2020 elections.

The Republican Party periodically looks at thing from the perspective of what would happen if they were to do X, Y or Z to the opposition? They always fear retribution.

Why doesn't the left fear it? The answer is that they know we don't have it in ourselves, or our leadership (our managers) to see it through. This must change.

It is. You can raise a child to be a whole host of things as their brains are clay to be molded by experiences, sights and sounds.

You raise a boy as a girl by treating it as a girl, it will be molded into a girl, creating massive confusion in the brain and leading to unwanted circumstances, ESPECIALLY if you chemically modify the child.

It goes along with why they say it's 'easier' for a child to learn multiple languages at a young age, because the brain is still open to new things.

It’s probably a coincidence since I assume commercials take a long time to create, from inception, shooting to editing, etc. Probbaly longer than 2 weeks.

But I saw an ad yesterday for Uber. The concept was dads who make sure the family gets to the airport on time for their trip. And the tag line was something like here’s to all the hero dads out there,

The dad was white. The mom white. The kids white. It was like a throwback to a commercial from 1996. None of the kids were trans or had blue hair or 7 nose piercings. It was a normal, mom dad and kids family.

And putting aside the racial aspect, for once the commercial dad isn’t a complete fucking imbecile, incapable of tying his own shoes. He’s the alpha male. Protecting and providing for his family, making no apologies. And being applauded for it.

Like I said probably a coincidence timing wise with the election. But still it struck me as whoa, there’s something in the air regarding DEI and all the rest of the bullshit we’ve suffered through for the last 10-15 years.

133 It is. You can raise a child to be a whole host of things as their brains are clay to be molded by experiences, sights and sounds.

You raise a boy as a girl by treating it as a girl, it will be molded into a girl, creating massive confusion in the brain and leading to unwanted circumstances, ESPECIALLY if you chemically modify the child.

It goes along with why they say it's 'easier' for a child to learn multiple languages at a young age, because the brain is still open to new things.

You make a trans child, it's NOT born that way.

Quite possibly.

Speaking of the Logan Act, John F*king Kerry was meeting with Iranian government officials throughout the first Trump Administration to give advice to the Iranians on how to thwart the Trump Administration's diplomatic initiative.

In many cases, the GOPe is just fine with the steal. 2020 would not have worked without GOPe co conspirators including officeholders like Ducey in AZ along with his AG. Kemp and his pet AG Carr in GA, etc.

Whether it was money, extortion, or blackmail, these officeholders went along with the steal despite having to tools to stop it at the source if they so wanted. The RNC was another source of the steal--Ronna did nothing despite raising large amounts of money. Few, if any GOP members on Capitol Hill backed Trump up post election, and so on. The GOP and its large donors wanted Trump gone as much as the Dems did.

Then you have the lawfare against Trump and against the poor J6 political prisoners still going on from 2021-2024 where few, if any, GOP critters did much beyond a few desultory strongly worded letters.

Touted as the “patron saint of the internet,” Acutis used his natural tech talent to create a website to catalog miracles and took care of websites for some local Catholic organizations.

The major media outlets committed a fraud on the American public for 3+ years (Russia hoax and many others) and have never even admitted to it yet alone been held accountable. For that reason we will not call on any questioners from these lying corporations for the next 3 years. All members of ABC/NBC/CBS/MSNBC/Wapo/etc will be consigned to the back of the press room.

294 >>> Transgender Day of Remembrance

If it is, I'm torn. A lot of Morons know this, but my sibling is trans. We aren't speaking because I supposedly turned hateful and mean during the covid lockdowns and because I voted for Trump. It's not enough just to love them. I have to embrace everything the trans movement believes or I hate trans people and want them to die. Also, I married someone who helped me see the codependent toxicity in my family dynamic. I've set new boundaries and stuck up for myself, and they are having trouble with that... again, it's me being mean. We've both said horrible things in moments of anger and defensiveness will be hard to take back. So we are taking a pause.

Do I reach out today and let them know I'm thinking about them? I've actually sent them pride stuff as presents before, but nothing has really helped. Debating if I reach out, even with just an animated gif or something. I want to mend fences but I don't know if they are ready yet.

Tragic story. But, something that might help you is how to maintain frame. Essentially your sibling is shit testing you to force you to capitulate. While the maintaining frame concept is related to Game (aka MF relationships) as it shit tests, it applies to the broader field of human relations.

Sort of "if you love me you will do x, y, z" to see if you will comply with the demands via emotional blackmail. Maintaining frame allows you to keep your own agency rather than capitulation to your sibling's agenda and put the ball right back in their court as to their own behaviors demanding you to accept their worldview.

The plan was that they'd counterbalance that by making Puerto Rico a state.

With Hispanics now Trump's most enthusiastic supporters and PR having elected a Republican governor I suspect that plan is scrapped though.

A good many deny the need for salvation through repentence and acceptance of Christ's propitiation for our sins on the cross.

Cheaper than training and maintaining a human priest, and can be programmed not to offend parishioners with talk of sin.

Reach out to them on some absurd holiday celebrating their oppression? Give them presents enabling their mental illness and signaling that you agree with them?

Reach out to them and tell them you're praying for them and hope that they will find the help they need for their gender dysphoria, which is a real thing, same as if they believed they were Napoleon. Except they're allowed to get help if they believed they were Napoleon, and society wouldn't be expected to enable them.

Posted by: Archimedes

GOPe is strong in the Senate and in governorships. Look at how many GOP governors capitulate to the left (such as Wyoming) in a ruby red state. It is because GOP large donors are opposed to MAGA and that affects statewide races far more than it does HoR or state legislative races.

Want that to end, enact strict state campaign finance laws which ends GOPe at the state level (and Soros infiltration of DA races) and enact similar dark money regulations at the federal level.

423 From amping up the conflict in Ukraine to positioning state and local governments to work against any displeasing new federal rules

I assume this is reference to Colorado and California intending to defy cooperating with ICE, and continue to be sanctuary States. There is a lot of pushback against this across the web...

...but I think it would be a good thing for States to take control of what goes on inside their borders, rather than running to the feds in DC for everything. By all means, be the independent States which you are constituted to be; take charge of your own affairs.

And stop looking to DC for federal money every time you stub your toe. Cut off that federal money pipeline. Force the States to be independent. That should be a top goal of the Trump Administration. Make it so that there is very, very little policy and polity which require cooperation between the States and the fed.

The old culture playbook of the left has been used up.
The majority of the world (I am certain of this) is fed the fuck up with all of this coddling of self inflicted mental wounds.

The only reason it took so long to unravel is because Twitter (before musk) was their own personal hive mind and nothing existed outside of it. They had 10 plus years to block out reality and now they are going to be having massive, and most likely violent withdrawals of their social drug.

The crazy hasn't peaked yet, but when it does it will be undisputed proof of their complete derangement for the world to see

428 LizLem,

I believe family is the most important thing.

And while you might need to cut them out of your life for your own mental/emotional health,

I would try this first.

I have some family members that don't agree with me politically. Rather than argue when we meet, we've agreed to not talk about politics. I'm fine with that. They're fine with that cuz we love each other more than we love our respective political parties.

But, if that simple approach won't work. I would try the same approach but with a one time only no holds barred explanation from each of you (make sure you're alone together, no other family members) what you think and feel and why you do without the other person interrupting at all. After that you both would have heard what the other had to say and that's it, that simply won't be a topic when you meet or talk on the phone.

If the love is there in equal measure on both sides, that might work. But, people do change and the trans thing is such a radical act of self-destruction that your sib may truly be insane and beyond your reach at least for now.

I hope things work out for you.

Mid-Morning Art Thread [Kris]

The Fire of Troy
Frederik van Valckenborch

A lot of Frederik van Valckenborch’s work seems to consist of wide, sprawling, detailed landscapes and populated with melodramatic human figures. They have dominant foregrounds with supporting middle- and backgrounds. I got the impression that he was particularly interested in intense subject matter, such as wars or tragedies. A source I read categorizes his style as Mannerist, the period of art history immediately following the High Renaissance where artists experimented with the rules and innovations of art developed during that earlier era. The intense drama of The Fire of Troy, its swirling forms and color, and figures melting into others, also foreshadow the coming Baroque era.

In The Fire of Troy, van Valckenborch creates a scene of terrible slaughter. This is the very end of the Trojan War. The Greeks have emerged from the Horse and rampage through the city at night, catching the Trojans totally by surprise. The main scene is in the foreground center left. Warriors attack a group of women and girls who will be taken back to Greece as slaves. All the males of the city, adults and children, will be killed.

Behind this group is the battle. The Greeks flow like a flash flood from the Horse into the city while the Trojans try to dam the flow. There is panic and chaos. This section is interesting to me. At first, it was hard to tell which way the action was moving. When I first looked at it, it looked like the mass was charging from upper-left to bottom-right. Then when I refocused my gaze, it switched, going from bottom-right to upper-left. Looking closer, I saw that this flood has currents. Some groups charge to the right, some countercharge to the left — and slicing through the mass is a troop of cavalry. It is chaos and it highlights the confusion of battle and the realities of open, hand-to-hand combat. It’s a neat effect and it gives The Fire of Troy energy and noise.

The Trojan Horse in the background is almost lost in all the chaos. It’s a small, tan shape that blends into the scenery. It is the source of the action, though. The raging flood flows from it and around it. If you embiggen the painting, you can see Greeks still emerging from the Horse. It gives the effect that the Greeks just keep coming with no end in sight. It’s a neat detail.

The confusion of battle is replicated in van Valckenborch’s technique. His loose brushstrokes complement and exaggerate the action on the ground. Fire becomes a raging inferno when painted like this. It feels hot and out of control. The limited use of color helps, too. The Fire of Troy is a night scene lit by the fire, so the colors are mostly yellows, oranges, and some reds. They glow against the blackness.

I like the details of this painting. The main scene of the warriors and women in the front is complemented by others: the Greeks descending from the Trojan Horse, the cavalry battle in the middle, the screaming women on the balcony to the right, the architecture, etc. The flow of the action leads my eye around to take it all in. My favorite scene, however, might be the black and red group of buildings near center right. I really like van Valckenborch’s use of silhouette to brighten the flames, and the red glowing through the windows flickers. It looks like something out of Dante and compounds the horror and tragedy of the scene. Van Valckenborch then added groups of people fleeing in panic from this blaze into the heart of the slaughter. It is Hell. This black and red contrasts with the large area of yellow and white to the left, enhancing both.

There are a few things that feel off about this painting. The perspective is wrong. Distances and scale also feel inaccurate. Since Mannerists liked to play around with the viewer’s expectations, Van Valckenborch could be using these distortions to create a sense of imbalance in the viewer in another attempt to depict the realities of war.

The cityscape itself is a fantastical Renaissance setting. The real Troy was a late Bronze Age fortress without elaborate Romanesque architectural details such as domes. It isn’t a contemporary city either. It’s something Van Valckenborch made up. He seems to fill his city with references to specific monuments, however. The columns dotting the scene are similar to the Column of Trajan. The large round building in the left background behind the Trojan Horse looks like an exaggerated version of the Temple from Raphael’s The Marriage of the Virgin. It was common for artists to use contemporary or familiar places and props as sit-ins for their ancient subject matter. Notice that the armor of the soldiers is not period specific either. Van Valckenborch clothed his figures in a mixture of styles and time periods. He needed a powerful city and two powerful armies. For art like this, historical accuracy is secondary to the message: the drama and climax of a great story and the fall of a great city.

Did the Greeks have the secret of "Greek fire" at this point, or was that more of a Hellenistic development? Seems to me if they had, they'd have tried to burn Troy without waiting for ten years.

Posted by: Aetius451AD at November 20, 2024 09:58 AM (bss/y)

100 I don't expect historical accuracy for legendary art of this period. The artist used aspects of the familiar partly to connect with the audience and partly because they wouldn't have known the area and accoutrements of the period. What van Valckenborch captured is the horror, confusion and brutality of the event. The varied lighting from general to flaming illumination gives a feel for the scale of the battle as do the many groups fighting in different parts of the field. Notice there are no distinct individuals even in the foreground figures. Everyone is caught up in the historical event. It is a maelstrom of violence: confused, always shifting, and impersonal. The scene is horrific more than exciting and, I assume, is meant to be.

I actually prefer van Valckenborch's simpler scenes and landscapes. The give a true emotional feel to the painting without getting lost in a mob of violence.

Something that could reflect sunlight that well would have taken time to construct. Mirrors as we think of them, with really good reflecting surfaces, were rare and only for the wealthy. I'm sure Archimedes could have called on the king for funding, but would a city under siege have had the raw materials to create a bunch of mirrors in a short time?

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at November 20, 2024 10:12 AM (J2vNu)

178 Archimedes is purported to have invented a large scale solar furnace, sometimes described as a heat ray, and used it to burn attacking Roman ships during the Siege of Syracuse (c. 213–212 BC). It does not appear in the surviving works of Archimedes and there is no contemporary evidence for it, leading to modern scholars doubting its existence. It was an established story about Archimedes by around 500 AD, when Anthemius described a reconstruction, and it has become the subject of speculation about its plausibility.

224 I watched the Ken Burns "Leonardo" documentary the last two nights. It's not bad but I wish they had spent more time with his techniques and materials. What they had about that was fine, just insufficient. Two episodes isn't enough to cover the man. He was extraordinary in so many ways not least because of the materials that were available. Paints had to be ground and mixed by hand. Even ink had to be made from basic materials and combined in ways that would work with the paper and other media of the time. Then there is the unmatched subtleties of his painting.

1) Legends make poor history. The broad strokes may be correct. Like they could have used mirrors to blind soldiers approaching the wall, then threw burning pitch at them.

2) Archimedes was a once in a millennia engineering genius. Do you think Barack Obama or Keith Olbermann can ever possibly match how his mind worked? Might as well give Lindsey Graham a chisel and ask him to replicate the Pieta. Or ask the guy you hired to paint the bathroom to give you a nice Sistine ceiling effect in your great room.

Maybe they're just being cautious but I recall reading a long time ago, after the peace deal was signed, that ice hockey was becoming popular in Northern Ireland and the NI/UK league [NHL supported?] was taking pains to make it nonsectarian.

What I recommend to any man going through this type of thing, as hard as it is, just lay the foundation for that future relationship you'll have with your children. Don't give the child any indication of your troubles with their mother, other than passing acknowledgement that you're not spending time with them because of decisions made by a court, that allowed their mother to have primary custody.

If you do it right, they'll figure out who their mother is, and what she did, and you will be able to have that adult relationship you deserve with your children.

It's not ideal, but it's the best you can do... and it sounds like you did that.

The average age of their audience of all of them is over 65.
Only Boomers and older watch them anymore. And they're dying off at increasing rates.
Buy 2030, all Boomers will be over 65; some 300k are dying every year now.
Remember, it was the over-65 flipping heavily for Biden that aided the cheat in 2020. (I think it was their mortal fear of Covid that did it)

He did pimp them BEFORE they started shoveling money at him, so he gets credit where it's due.

But Apple is proprietary, horribly overpriced shit that's impossible to maintain long term.

Their goal is to sell you new shit every 3 years. They should just go to a 100% lease program.

I'm old enough to remember when they pushed updates out to slow their older iPhones down drastically to piss users off enough to buy new.

Heh, true enough. Main reason I don't care for them is Safari as a browser blows chunks (and due to Apple's proprietary mania---all other browsers that I am aware of are simply look and feel skins on top of Safari). The second strike is the proprietary hardware at nosebleed prices. Only reason I tried Apple again was for office laptop before I retired when I use Linux desktops at home for main usage.

They are not a bad purchase of refurbished laptops off corporate lease compared with really dreadful Dell or (shudder) HP used laptops. Lenovo, for some reason, actually has a bit more quality and more fully equipped as to ports, etc. there if you have to buy used.

Then how did it end up in California courts?

Often the problem isn't family law, the problem is men who don't recognize how serious the problem is, and then try to do things "their way."

If she "ran off" to California, then a Texas court should have issued a kidnapping charge against her.

Posted by: People's Hippo Voice
====
It is not Social Security driving the deficit train. Fixes on it are relatively minor--raising the age to get benefits to 70 for full and 65 for reduced would resolve a lot of issues if coupled with killing the cap on income earned while collecting benefits.

The driver of deficits is Medicare/Medicaid (plus interest on the national debt which is not really negotiable). Medicare tax rates are far below what is necessary to pay for escalating medical costs far beyond the rate of inflation. Medicaid costs have ballooned since Obamacare and the surge of illegals and requiring the fedgov to extend Medicaid to 3x poverty level plus pay 100 percent for extension (supposed to be temporary) plus waivers of all sorts to allow technically ineligible people to sign up is a major factor. Health care is 1.8 trillion.

SS is 1.5 trillion spending but 1.2 trillion in taxes raised. But, the Medicare tax raises about 200 billion while Medicare is spending close to 900 billion. 600 Billion is spent on Medicaid and private insurance subsidies for Obamacare.

11 “We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.” CSL

The men without chests are quite at home in Washington D.C. and among modern academics who constantly defer to expertise and authority, which is one way to separate the soul from your heart. It’s also a way to give up American liberty. The men without chests are most comfortable in politics where they burrow in to avoid accountability, and into the federal bureaucracy, where they been allowed to rule for decades without pushback from the American people. As I type a final draft of this on a Saturday, the noted Fox News Washington establishment pearl-clutcher Neal Cavuto, who replaced Chris Wallace in the network’s pearl-clutching role, pretends he’s worried and shocked about Trump’s proposed cabinet selections.

“WHCA members left nasty grounds on my desk, vandalized my workspace, blocked me in the briefing room, roped me off in the corner, cursed me on live TV, cut my Internet cables, taped up my wooden chair.”

59 Biden could have approved all of these weapons uses months ago during the summer fighting season in Ukraine.

But no, he waits until after the election to allow these provocations solely for the purpose of binding Trump up and preventing peace efforts.

There is nothing more Zelensky can do in the next few months that’s going to magically make this thing winnable. They’ve had close to three years and it’s been pretty much a stalemate since the winter of ‘22.

All they can do is something stupid enough to force NATO troops in and that seems to be the plan.

The good news is that the Gates DOJ gets to infer the absolute worst in court about every record destroyed by the people at the agency, and so does any potential jury in TX. Why TX, why not? The Gates DOJ gets to infer all of the destroyed documents concerned felonious mopery involving the border in TX. The Defendants get to ask the 5th Circuit and then SCOTUS for a change in Venue.

We're at a kind of Passchendaele or Normandy moment. It may look like a stalemate but beneath the surface the defender's situation grows more desperate, their lines more brittle.

97 Vladimir Putin has mysteriously disappeared from public view as his regime issued apocalyptic World War Three nuclear threats over the use of long-range Western missiles by Ukraine against Russian territory.

It is unclear if during the past 12 days of high international tension the Kremlin dictator has been holed up in a hi-tech bunker, unwell, underwent another round of plastic surgery, took a secret holiday or simply chose to remain out of sight. Yet Putin, 72, has not been definitively seen since an appearance at the Valdai Forum in Sochi on November 7 when he congratulated a "courageous" Donald Trump on his election victory and hinted he was ready for talks to end the war in Ukraine, according to the Faridaily Telegram channel, which monitors his movements and appearances.

… is he communicating with Jennifer Rubin ?

This is an interesting take, the "War" such that it is, has been over for quite some time, the Ukranian's have zero chance of reclaiming the area the Russians have claimed.

The only thing the continuance of this sham accomplishes is the theft of US taxpayer money, the continued death of Ukranians and a worse deal for the Ukranians when a peace deal is forced on the situation in 60 days.

Oh yeah, if Putin could take back the area in Kursk the was occupied, he’d be happy to keep the territories they already control and call it a win.

If the Ukrainians are run out of Kursk they’ll have very little to bargain with to get some lost territory back when the negotiations start.

The files were downloaded by a person using the name Altam Beezley at 1:23 p.m. on Monday...

Corporate media too chickenshit to publish it. Leak it to one of these up and coming Dem influencers and podcasters like "JoJo from Jerz," "PoliticsGirl," or maybe the Rude Pundit.

Gaetz could have sex in public with a 14-year-old on fifth Avenue and not lose any support

Lutnick was the CEO of Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald which lost over 900 people on 9/11. Even on Wall Street he was known as a tough prick. Both his parents died of illness before he went to college.

Lutnick would have died with his brother on 9/11 except he was taking his daughter to her first ever day at school. He rebuilt the devasted firm and dedicated a portion of profits to the families.

Lutnick knows that tariffs can be (and should be) used as a bargaining tool. "It's not a tax."

Yeah, in a little over 60 days, the war will be over, a peace deal will be cut and little z will be offered his choice of extradition countries to live out the rest of his life, the the Donk Side of the Uniparty will be thrown a bone in long term rebuilding aid, the GOP side will largely be frozen out as the terms of the deal will be a non-aggression pact that will largely neuter the fever dreams of the Lyndsey Grahams of the world, Putin gets to keep his new toys and relations with the West will be normalized.

He may even be allowed to get in on the LNG supply action, but that will be the stick the Trump administration uses because the new administration is going to take the boot off of domestic energy production, which is going to drive down energy prices, which in turn will cut into Russia's ability to make mischief.

As someone opined of Biden, Trump doesn't have a degree in foreign affairs, he's just that f**king good.

Authored by Tara Copp, Michelle Smith, and Jason Dearen, the article attempts to tie Hegseth to “white supremacist groups” by claiming his “Deus Vult” bicep tattoo — which is Latin for “God wills it” — is “associated” with such organizations.

We have a local county community college -- and it has a generally good reputation for educating & training of young students as well as older adults.

However, for some reason I've not investigated, the elected College Governing Board that oversees the entire business is permitted to annually ask for an increase in property tax assessments for all residents of the county -- AND THEY FAITHFULLY DO!

There is no check on this monster other than throwing the elected Board members out, but that doesn't seem to be working thus far. Crap, if i ever retire, maybe I should run for a seat ...

>>In CY 2023, 523 Service members died by suicide, which is more than the previous year (493). The Total Force rate – which is the focus of the ASRM report – of suicide deaths per 100,000 Service members was 9 percent higher than in 2022.

>>Most Service members who died by suicide were young, enlisted men.

>>In CY 2022, 146 family members died by suicide, including 93 spouses and 53 dependents. While every death by suicide is a tragedy, we are cautiously encouraged at this reduction from the previous year (CY 2021) when 165 family members died by suicide.

If it's simply routine for the government to engage in destruction of federal records--contrary to the records retention laws they are supposed to obey--then that's a rather large problem...

>>Anyone notice that music played in stores has been frozen on the 80s since the early 2000s? I occasionally hear a few 90s things but I would've expected full-on 90s+ by now and it didn't happen. And while the election has now confirmed the superiority of GenX, I doubt it's just that.

As noted, the greatest, most dynamic period of music was a 20 year stretch from 1975 to 1995, pretty much every thing started to go down hill starting around 1998 and accelerated to around 2010, and pretty much everything beyond 2010 is garbage.

I often get to the counter in Walgreens when I'm picking up a prescription or something, with say a Phil Collins song from the 80's on and remark to the cashier, ahhh, you got the oldies going, great song, the typically blink, I smile.

Theresa, if you haven't, please get a 2nd opinion from MD Anderson. Traditional chemo would have given me under 2 years. Current immunotherapy (which yes, I had to fight for, and my doc had to fight for me) doesn't have such narrow limitations.

Cost and foreverness (you don't stop taking it unless it stops working or you can't handle it) is immunotherapy's biggest problem. But it has worked miracles for folks who at diagnosis have awful prospects...and there are new types being developed every day that replace the ones that no longer work for folks so you might move from one to the next...

It really can't be said enough.

Lady across the street from me came by and talked with the First Lady. She wasn't aware of her diagnosis. She was upset by it. She confided in me later that she'd taken a fall while working and was taken to the ER. They discovered her spleen was swolen and care-flighted her to Dallas. They did surgery on her to remove her spleen, then informed her she has Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

She's the 4th or 5th woman in this neighborhood that's had some kind of cancer diagnosis in the last decade ish.

Posted by: redridinghood at November 20, 2024 08:40 AM (NpAcC)

And remember, man-caused damage is done and then lays for a decade or two before coming out as most cancers. The military has done its research that its forever chemical water damage takes a decade or two to come out as cancers (I was right on target for that)...

On that point, the military has conceded that I was the victim of toxic exposure this week...so my package is halfway there. Thanks to all for the prayers for me.

And my cancer check was so good yesterday on immunotherapy, doc has decided to drop his desire to add/change anything with treatment and we're just going ahead on solo med for the next 7 months...

I strongly believe it’s the COVID “vax”.
I told both my parents to not take the things because there was no way they could know if they were safe after conceiving & testing & releasing the vax in six months.

I told them they’d be guinea pigs.
They didn’t listen and both got their two doses.

Within six months my father had lung cancer. They caught it early, he went through the treatments, is now cancer free but has never been the same, heath wise, since.

My mother got diagnosed with lung cancer a year after the vax, had treatment, and then surgery to remove the tumor. She was great for a year after that and then started getting pains in her lower back.

She died in a hospital in February of this year of pneumonia and kidney failure after being put on a ventilator for a week.

I will forever blame fed.gov and Pfizer for what happened to both of them.

School Choice is scaring the shit out of teachers. They're afraid. I believe it's because for the first time in younger teachers lives, they're going to be judged on merit and not all labeled 'heroes' just for having the job. There will be accountability and the lazy f*cks will have to EARN a position in the schools that thrive while the others fail.

It will piss families off because their rundown shithole schools that don't give a f*ck about their kids and it's just a means to unload their child for a few hours will go away and EDUCATION will become a priority.

It's going to be painful, but worth it.

Same for all the other governmental changes that are hopefully on the horizon.

Both my dad and step-mom had Moderna and one or 2 boosters. I advised them to stop.

Dad passed a month ago, from what I'm NOW told was kidney cancer and my step-mom has Parkinson's and early onset Alzheimer's.

Now, she DOES have Parkinson's in her family history.

First Lady's best friend had a cancer which was getting treated, but wasn't going all that well, but her husband worked for a vet, so Ivermectin was available. She went into remission and the Dr's were amazed, then pissed when they found out what she did. One strongly suggested she get 'vaccinated' due to her immunocompromised state. She did. The cancer came back with a vengeance and she was gone less than a year later.

That’s because most of it is. There was a time it was largely genetic or exposure based. Now it’s coming from the toxicity in food and water. Nobody can convince me otherwise.

There are at least 1,000 chemicals in our foods that Europe bans. That’s before we get to pesticides and things like fluoride and other contaminants in the water. Products used in food production like seed oils make things even worse. Then we get to other factors like exercise.

We need to start by getting big food, big chemical, and big pharma out of our government halls and into the trash bin. If they want to fight, let’s dance. Enough is enough. Time to take back our government from K Street.

He woke up one morning gasping for breath (84% blood oxygenation) - it was "rapid onset" of a rare, degenerative lung disease. You don't just wake up with it at a stage that takes decades to reach. He had met w/his cardiologist two weeks prior, with 98% pulse-ox and no sign of lung issues. Still no explanation for it, but they say scarring from pneumonia years ago made his lungs more vulnerable.

We need a full accounting of mortalities/disease rates since 2020 and many people need to be prosecuted for this.

394 She went into remission and the Dr's were amazed, then pissed when they found out what she did. One strongly suggested she get 'vaccinated' due to her immunocompromised state.

Doctors are smarter than average but they're not omniscient. They know what they've read. It's up to everyone to learn as much as they can about their own/health condition. The sad thing is that there are doctors who really seem to hate it when you have an opinion of your own which contradicts the official narrative.

Posted by: 18-1 at November 20, 2024 09:13 AM (oZhjI)

417 Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many ingredients. In an interview with MSNBC on Nov. 6, he questioned the overall ingredient count: “Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients and you go to Canada and it has two or three?” Mr. Kennedy asked.

He was wrong on the ingredient count, they are roughly the same. But the Canadian version does have natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as Butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, a lab-made chemical that is used “for freshness,” according to the ingredient label.

441 Now, let’s be clear about what the Judgment Fund is supposed to do. It was originally created back in 1956 to efficiently pay out legal judgments against the federal government. There was a time when Congress actually acted like Congress and exercised some control over these funds. There was a cap of $100,000 on settlements that required congressional oversight for anything higher—an excellent system of checks and balances, in the spirit of the founders' intent. But in 1977, Congress decided to hand the Justice Department a blank check, removing the cap entirely and allowing this fund to pay out whatever it pleased, without needing any kind of Congressional approval. And what happens when you give a government agency unchecked authority over taxpayer money? The fund turned into a slush fund, plain and simple.

You see, the Obama administration figured out how to exploit this. Tony West, the brother-in-law of Vice President Kamala Harris, spearheaded a new way to distribute funds from this unmonitored money pot. Emails revealed how his department was actively seeking out ways to funnel cash to favored nonprofits and NGOs, a wish list for loyal Democratic allies.

472 President-elect Donald Trump’s “border czar” nominee Tom Homan dropped the hammer on Democrats who are planning to derail the new administration’s mass deportation plan, warning they could face jail time and even the death penalty if they do so.

The former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director issued a stark warning to left-wing mayors of “sanctuary cities” who plan to resist Trump’s deportation operations.

Homan’s warning came in response to democratic Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s remarks that her city won’t cooperate with the mass deportations.

“Well, she’s not very smart, I’ll give her that,” Homan told Newsmax on Monday.

VDH observations on what Trump's picks have in common (from a full column):

-- One, many, who were in the past victimized by government bullies and cowardly bureaucratic grandees

--Two, none of these appointments are traditional swamp creatures.

--Three, they all share a reputation from the mainstream media, bicoastal elite, or administrative state guardians as a little “out there” or even “crazy” and “nuts”, whether RFK, Tulsi Gabbard, or Pete Hegseth. So, their opponents rightly fear they are immune from mainstream media disparagements, the usually leftwing generated hoaxes, and beltway tsk-tsk scorn.

--Fourth and finally, they are not radicals or nihilists.

Delaware Valley Journal, Embattled Bucks Commissioner: Call to Ignore Election Law ‘Misinterpreted’ Posted to Politics Nov. 19, 2024

In part, "Bucks County Commission Chair Diane Ellis-Marseglia made national headlines when a video of her statements regarding her vote to accept the improper mail ballots went viral.

“I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country. People violate laws any time they want. So, for me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention to it. There is nothing more important than counting votes,” Ellis-Marseglia said last Thursday.

On Monday, she backtracked, telling The Philadelphia Inquirer the backlash from rule of law advocates on both sides of the partisan aisle stemmed from a “misinterpretation of [an] inartfully worded statement on my part.”

“I apologize for all the upset and confusion it caused,” Ellis-Marseglia said."

Of course. 🤔 Just distraction.

The Biden administration has approved sending anti-personnel mines to Ukraine for the first time in another major policy shift, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin confirmed on Wednesday.

The decision comes just days after the US gave Ukraine permission to fire long-range US missiles at targets in Russia, a shift that only occurred after months of lobbying from Kyiv.

Daily Tech News 20 November 2024

Top Story

Two undersea communications cables in the Baltic Sea, one between Germany and Finland and the other connecting Lithuania and Sweden, were cut on the same day and absolutely nobody believes it was an accident. (Tom's Hardware)
"Nobody believes that these cables were accidentally severed," said [German Defense Minister Boris] Pistorius. "We have to know that, without knowing specifically who it came from, that it is a hybrid action, and we also have to assume that, without knowing by whom yet, that this is sabotage."
Yeah, it was China. (MSN)

The Chinese bulk carrier Yi Peng 3, en route from Ust-Luga in Russia to Port Said, was in the exact location of both cables at the moment they were cut, and was also tracked as slowing down both times.

Tech News

If Netflix can't make live streaming work, who can? (The Verge)

Um, broadcast TV? Since the 1950s?
Meanwhile Apple spent $20 billion on new films and television shows to attract 0.3% of viewing hours. (Ars Technica)

This seems like a poor return on investment.
If Microsoft can't make Flight Simulator work, who can? (Tom's Hardware)

Well, Microsoft of 2020 could. The previous version still works and is still being updated.

Flight Simulator 2024 is here, except it kind of isn't. It doesn't seem possible to actually download the game, ever. It recommends at least a 100Mbps internet connection and it downloads map data as you fly over it.
Microsoft's Windows 365 Link device is Flight Simulator 2024 for the desktop. (The Verge)

Not your desktop, though. At $349 this little box is slower than a $299 Beelink mini-PC and can't be used at all without a Windows 365 subscription. It doesn't actually run Windows itself; it streams it from Microsoft's servers.

Who would want such a thing?

Libraries, for example. If you have random patrons showing up to use your computers, and you don't know what they might use them for, this is perfect. Every time someone logs out, the entire system is wiped clean as if they had never existed - because the system is in the cloud. No data is stored locally at all.
I came here to chew bubblegum and watch Earth-shattering kabooms, and we're all out of Earth-shattering kabooms. (Ars Technica)

The sixth test launch of Starship went pretty smoothly. They called off the chopstick catch trick this time, but everything else went as planned.

The next test is expected to show off Starship V2, slightly taller and with about 10% more thrust.

37 Morning, JQ,

Yes, thirty days from today is, I think, the last work day before the Xmas break. Plus we lose next Thursday and Friday. It won't give much time to advertise for my replacement and interview people. But if I work until the end of Jan., they'll have time. On the other hand, the budget development period starts on Feb. 1. Unless they hire someone internal, and they probably will, the new person will have a long uphill climb to get the budget done by March 15.

Not really my problem, of course. But working on until Jan. 31 would give me two full months' more pay.

“a day after the C-Lion1 and BCS subsea data cables in the Baltic Sea, connecting Finland and Germany as well as Sweden and Lithuania, were damaged […]

Danish authorities appear to have narrowed down a possible culprit to Chinese bulker Yi Peng 3, which traveled over the reported incident site at the time of the failure.

Its AIS track shows the vessel drifting back and forth for around an hour the morning of November 18.”

Or both? She makes these two points, on the "just a song" side:

“YMCA, the gay national anthem,” Trump tells some podcast hosts incredulously in 2022. “Did you ever hear that? They call it ‘the gay national anthem’.”

Trump does really seem to like the music. “What’s the most popular thing in the world?” Ali G – Sacha Baron Cohen’s satirical rapper persona – asked Trump, then the host of The Apprentice, in 2003. “Music,” he responded earnestly, without skipping a beat.

159 Whipple procedure (Mayo Clinic)

It involves removing the head of the pancreas, the first part of the small intestine, the gallbladder and the bile duct. The Whipple procedure is also called a pancreaticoduodenectomy. It's often used to treat pancreatic cancer that hasn't spread beyond the pancreas.

I'm pretty sure that an extremely high percentage of Trump peeps has never listened to the lyrics except for the YMCA chorus. Lyrics aside, it is a banging pop anthem that captures a perfect joyfulness and that right there is the beginning and of the matter.

I like quite a few songs by Elton John and Queen, I’ve even been known to enjoy a few of George Michael’s songs, not to mention Michael Jackson.

I’ve never understood this idea that because you like an artist’s work then that means you must also like the artist’s lifestyle or political beliefs.

I like some of Rage Against The Machine’s music as well, that doesn’t mean I want to join Antifa and start the revolution, it just means I like music for music’s sake.

And don’t get me started on Picasso’s work as compared to what a piece of work Picasso was.

231 Shame about Flight Simulator 2024. I was looking forward to it. Guess I'll ignore it for a while. That seems to be a smart move with new releases lately.

However, I'll note that the 'load from Steam, and then download masses of data while inside the game" is also how FS 2020 works. It's not new, and therefore shouldn't have been a surprise. Having said that, it is as slow and annoying as the reviewer describes.

Well, yes, but the current Internet is entirely unicast. IP Multicast just isn't practical short of infinite bandwidth everywhere. And nobody wants a return to the days of satellite set-top boxes.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (11/19/24) [Doof]

Howdy Hordelings! I didn’t expect to be back behind the wheel of the ONT again so soon, but based on the reaction to my recent debut post, I’m giving it another go. Glad you stopped by!

*****

The People’s President
Check out this video clip from 1992. Trump was already a pop culture legend back then. 30-some years later, NFL players who weren’t even born at that time are proudly imitating his goofy dance during games. The guy is an enigma!

Legend! https://t.co/hrLERaDFuC

Random Historical Trivia Nugget of the Night

How many of you can name all 50 State Capitals? I get mixed up on a few,
but for the most part, I can. But over the years, some states have relocated
their capital to a different city for various reasons. Do you know that last
time this occurred? If you said Oklahoma in 1910, give yourself a high-five!
Admitted to the United States in 1907, Oklahoma’s first capital was Guthrie.
Then in 1910, voters approved a ballot measure to move the capital 30-ish
miles south to Oklahoma City.

25 states have relocated their capital at least once – here’s a lighthearted judgment of each of those states.

For our Oklahoma Hordelings:

Although this fall I did get some stuff cleaned out. Had a bunch of different metal crap piling up, so I took it to the scrapyard. Steel, copper and aluminum. About $400. Far less than what was spent on crap over the years, but better than nothing.

Sorry about your dad. Give the sibs a deadline to get thier shit and stick to it. If it ain't out by the deadline, it gets estate saled or donated to charity.

Had to deal with a family wanting to use their Mom's house as a storage facility/hotel for themselves. As long as they didn't have to pay the bills to keep the place livable they didn't see a problem with it.

My boyhood was the 50s. No Atari, more time for weapons. We had Ben Pearson fiberglass bows, made our own arrows, and hunted in the woods along the main line of the B&O, a short hike from home.

The neighbor lady had it in for me and my buddies, and after seeing me carrying home a rabbit bristling with arrows, told the cops I was shooting animals, not saying which or with what.

A knock on my 7th grade classroom door, the sister called me to the door, let me out into the hall, where a detective asked me where I got the gun. I said no gun just bows arrows and varmints. Dad got pissed at the cops, called them up and told them to get fucked for hauling me out of a classroom at St Joe elementary for tagging a goddamn bunny.

---------
This the one at the food coloring joint? It was pretty sporty for being "food coloring."

Big "boom" and all that. But a pressure vessel going bad, is bad. And local discussions about previous complaints are going to complicate the whole situation. IIRC it's the second "accident" there... but like, in a decade or two.

But I am not having schadenfreude over the others. It's a sense of foreboding. It's not like last time. The media are handling it much better, but the rank and file are handling it much worse.

The shrieking, crying NPCs on social media disowning their friends and family are bad enough. And the lovely ladies going "4B." But there have also been a couple of horrific election-related family massacres, and now these "MATGA" chicks as locating for women to poison their husbands and lovers, as well.

Good points. The media is forced to react differently this time. They're facing extinction otherwise. But the damage they've done to the average lefty is beyond repair. The avg lefty has been riled up over Trump for 9 years. The media did that to them. And they can't react differently because then they'd have to admit and accept that they have been wrong and they've been lied to.

The first people to communicate in the workshop were some Hungarian technicians, including Tivadar Puskas, who went on to invent the switchboard and set up the phone systems in Paris, Budapest, etc.

The first word was "Hallom!" or "I hear!"

From this came the modern use of hallo (as Brits still say) and hello.

Even a crowd of the most militant in Kenosha crumbled when one 17 year old with a gun stood up to them.

Do you remember what made the 60’s riots so scary? It was because there was a lot of pissed off vets back from shooting Charlie out there in those mobs; now those were dudes who could fuck shit up and think nothing about it.

396 >>I'm pretty sure they were more than certain of the win, with the extensive cheat and all, that they can't believe they lost and can't believe the extent of the loss considering what they had been told about the cheat.
Because of that confidence, it appears as there was no contingency in the event of a loss.

That's what I don't get. I'm not exactly splitting atoms with my brain but it was obvious to anyone who actually followed the race Trump was going to win. It was only by how much.

Trump had an army of red hat wearing white supremacist Nazis, including a large number of whom were Hispanic and black, who were constantly at his rallies and very publicly supporting him. Harris had paid twerkers and bussed in paid "supporters".

And Trump had taken over the RNC and their primary focus was election integrity including thousands of paid lawyers and poll watchers in swing states. They announced what they were going to do for months. Actually make elections as secure as possible for the first time in years. And they did.

There were always more of us than them. That's why they cheat. Stop the cheat, win elections. It's not a hard equation.

407 Heh. I just took apart 4 TPMS sensors taken from the wheels on my 2008 Suburban. Bought from Amazon, cheap, installed them when I put the last set of tires on, maybe 5 years ago? They failed last Winter. Well, their little batteries were all stone dead. Maxell CR2032's, all test zero volts. Makes me wonder if the devices were on the shelf for a long time before they were sold to me. The OEM sensors lasted a lot longer than that. Doing without, for now. Stupid useless system, anyway.

Yeah, it's a PITA. I got snow tires right after I bought my car, on their own rims... freaking 60 bucks apiece for the "required" TPMS, which began failing at 5 years. Unnerving, to see that idiot light 'on' all the time.

I'm not equipped to bust-over my own tires, so took them in & had shop replace all the sensors. (For the price of a used set of snow tires from another car which we no longer own...)

Yay, regained some space in the barn!

Factory sensors still good.

Um, Texas has a coastline, yes? Also, the supposed origins of sushi is kind of funny. Paraphrased/ condensed: the merchants that hiked up into the hinterlands of Japan with supplies would carry rice, fish, kelp, and vinegar with them. Accidents happened but the merchants wouldn't throw away the cargo and sold it as a mix. Your mileage may vary.

Posted by: JQ at November 20, 2024 12:52 AM (njWTi)

Most North American cars and pickups use the same bulbs, and the same filaments in them for both stop and turn functions. The turn signal switch connects both bulbs to the stop light switch when no turn is selected. When a turn is selected, the bulb for that side is disconnected from the stop light switch, and connected to the signal flasher.

Turn signals get their power normally from the accessory terminal of the ignition switch, and won't work if the key is off. Stop lights get their power from the battery side of the ignition switch, and will work if the key is off. Four-way flashers are powered the same way. First thing to check in this case? Try the 4-way flashers.

Know it's verboten to say, but how many voters are missing this year? I think they decided Kamala was a mess and didn't employ the big cheat like they did in 2020.

6 swing states stopped counting in the middle of the night when Trump was leading. Then resumed and miraculously Biden was ahead.

I don't know what model, either. If there are amber turn signals at the rear, then the turn signals don't have parts in common with the brake lights. I think my Suburbans have three bulbs in each tail light assembly. One is reverse lamp only, one is tail lamp only, and one is tail plus stop/turn.

Yep. I'm in an area that turned Hispanic. Lot of tilapia (which I do not like);. Lost pretty much everything here not Hispanic, the Italian deli, the Russian deli, 3 pizza joints, 2 fresh fish stores, etc. Now it's different food, some quite good. If you like a fried breaded steak, try the Peruvian bifstek empanizado. Yum. But it's not 'American' food, not yet, though the Mexican is the closest to 'American' there is and it's not really American but more Mexican. Tacos aren't crispy and the meat isn't flavored ground paste, for example.

But I do miss good Italian food/ingredients.

I miss the old days when monkfish was considered a trash fish. Decades ago, bought some as I never had it before. Butter and lemon, steamed. Delicious. Best description I've ever read was 'tastes like lobster' and they're not far wrong. That's a good 'trash' fish. But it's a trash fish no more no more. Expensive. Very expensive.

I still laugh at lobster being a trash fish in Colonial New England as it was considered beneath the rich people of the day and food fit only for servants.

I'll give them credit for Memphis style BBQ, a personal favorite of our family, but that's about all. Been to the Delta a couple of times, and it's definitely just as you describe. Especially around Clarksdale, near where Robert Johnson allegedly sold his soul to the Devil to gain the talents of a Blues legend. I'm obviously rather skeptical of the idea, but in the part of the Delta, it's eerie enough that you can envision something like that taking place. Add in some bottle trees and overhearing comments about Hoodoo and High John the Conqueror, and the eerie quotient goes up to X Files/Twilight Zone levels. An academic friend of mine theorizes that the Robert Johnson legend might arise from folk belief in the Loa, specifically Papa Legba, the Voodoo deity who is associated with doorways and crossroads - and of course, Johnson was said to have made his famous bargain at the crossroad just outside Clarksdale.

I was going to school in New Orleans in 1977-78, and I remember the news report about what the city did with the money appropriated for the levees. The Army Corps warned the politicians then, and no one listened. It was no surprise to me what happened during Katrina. and anyone telling you otherwise is a liar.

550 Dang, I just heard a semi-shocking story that reminds me that Trump's victory may bring change to Washington DC, but the leftist totalitarian mindset is still deeply embedded in many states and at the local level, and not only would it "take a long time to roll back" the leftist takeover, any roll-back hasn't even begun, as blue states/sanctuary cities/leftist enclaves continue to spiral into madness at an ever-accelerating rate.

Anyway, here's the story -- just got off the phone with a friend, who told me this:

Her husband is a schoolteacher at a K-6 elementary school in California. Last week a second-grader in one of his classes was being disruptive and refusing to pay attention, playing a game on an electronic toy (some sort of Gameboy-type device for little kids) that made a beeping noise and distracted the class and made teaching impossible. No matter what the husband/teacher said, the kid wouldn't stop.

(The kid is a known "problem student" and troublemaker, so this wasn't much of a surprise.)

So the teacher eventually just calmly lifted the device out of the kid's hand and put it on a side table, saying that the kid would get it back after class... (con't)...

Well, the kid went home and told his mother what happened, and the mother blew a fuse and called the school district, accusing my friend's husband of child abuse and if being (wait for it) RACIST, because the teacher is white and the kid is black.

Immediately the school district's hate-crime machinery sprung into actions, subjecting the husband to a kangaroo court where he was reprimanded with no opportunity to defend himself, struggle sessions where he is being pressured to confess his racism, etc. etc. All of this even after the other kids in the class defended him, saying he was a good teacher who did nothing wrong.

563 Unrelated to any of my few comments earlier, but there is this amazingly insane WWII film scheduled for release that many might enjoy - "Dick Dynamite-1944." The trailer is making the rounds now, and it looks awesome. Imagine a combination of "The Dirty Dozen," "Where Eagles Dare," and the popular pulp novels of the Thirties and Forties. It may turn up in one of Ace's "Is This Something" threads. People are trying to label it as a Grindhouse-style production, but I think a better description would be WWII Jack Reacher with a lack of impulse control and anger management issues. One scene in the trailer has the hero, undercover, about to attend an elegant dinner party. 'What kind of party is this, he asks the doorman, who replies that "It's a Nazi party." The hero smiles and says "My favorite kind." Things for the Nazis do not go well after that. I can't guarantee that it will be to everybody's liking, but it's worth having a look at it.

>>>When she tearfully recounted that he would NEVER do anything racist, I believe her. He's been teaching there for 8 years and until this moment never had a complaint.

I believe it, too. Struggle sessions aren’t actually effective against real racists. And a real racist never would have made the mistake of taking a game from a non-white kid.

591 I'm wondering if "Dick Dynamite-1944" might operate on the Buckaroo Banzai theorem -that is, it starts with Buckaroo as an already established character with a familiar mythos surrounding him and the Hong Kong Cavaliers, and the audience is immediately caught up in the action while working out the details. It was fun, and repeat viewings constantly provide easter eggs that you overlooked before. It was one of those films where the audience are told "You're smart, and we know you'll get this." Rarely does Hollywood have the courage to do that anymore.

We need you to tell us -- Cajun French derives from Canadian French, since it descended from Acadian immigrants who were expelled from Nova Scotia to Louisiana in the 1700s. This is all your fault.

Well, if Miklos says "pocky way" is a Neville Brothers invention, and the Nevilles never did French, I will accept that.

And New Orleans French is not Cajun; it is Creole, and long predates the advent of the Acadians.

Interesting side note: Guy I know went metal detecting in northern Louisiana and found a coin from the 1730s -- after months of research determined that it was a "double sou" minted in France to be used as currency in the full extent of French North America, and was legal tender from Quebec all the way down to New Orleans at that time. All his detecting buddies are insanely jealous -- this type of coin is now incredibly rare and is on the bucket list of every "completist" who wants one of every type of coin ever used on what is now US soil. Very very few people own one. In fc, due to corruption back in France, most never made it to North America and were stolen and sold to to be melted down in Europe.

Serious question: If some insane turn of events occurs now that prevents Trump from actually getting sworn in, what would happen? Would his VP automatically become president, even if he had never actually been sworn in as VP? Or would they hand the presidency to the second-place vote-getter in the election (i.e. Harris)? Or ...?

When I was a kid, had an aunt who lived in a house where if you wanted water you had to go outside and pump the handle. There was no running water inside the house. That meant an outhouse, too. Sometime in the late '70s-early '80s she got running water and got rid of that foul outhouse.

But I'm young enough to say I've used an outhouse, not just a port-a-potty (which are bad enough). The stench from a 2-hole outhouse in the summer simply cannot be described. Great for 'holding your breath' excercises as swimming practice; if you breathe, you drown in a miasma of toxicity (the real kind).

At the time, this was an outhouse for a family of four. Mother and kids; uncle died when I was like 6.

My funny story is my Mom always called the outhouse 'Miss Jones'. She'd say she's going to visit Miss Jones. As a kid, I wondered who this Miss Jones was and why did my Mom never take me to meet her? I was such a dumb kid.

80 Can't find current newz on the peace scare in Lebanon, but meanwhile IDF looks like it might encircle entire western sector of Hezb in the south. Dunno who/what's left there to capture/eliminate.

Will assume they know what they're doing but fairly shocked Israeli leadership has allowed peace scare to advance this far when meaningful victory is in sight.

Hezb has hit UNIFIL positions twice in two days. UN statements are of the "some people did some things" variety, not naming perps, as opposed to when IDF action against active Hezb positions *in close proximity to UNIFIL sites* results in unpleasantness, in which case Deep Concern and much finger-wagging ensues.

99 By the way, MotorTrend+ canceled all its shows, including Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, Engine Masters, and Faster with Newbern and Cotton. Which were their best rated shows every day.

Basically Warner Brothers is cleaning house, MT+ is just going to be reruns of old shows except for a couple that they have contracts with until the contracts run out. Its likely WB is going to just fold MT+ away.

110 24 Does anybody know the backstory on this Italian procession featuring the God Emperor Trump? The video was uploaded five years ago, but I have no idea what prompted this over-the-top Trump tribute. I love it, by the way.
--------
The Master Drone (Italian: Il Pa-Drone), popularly referred to as God Emperor Trump, was a 65-foot (20-metre) papier-mâché sculpture and float depicting Donald Trump, the president of the United States at the time, dressed as the fictional God Emperor of Mankind from the Warhammer 40,000 miniature war game franchise. It was created by the Italian artist Fabrizio Galli for the Carnival of Viareggio in 2019.

The Carnival of Viareggio (Italian: Carnevale di Viareggio) is a carnival event annually held in the Tuscan city of Viareggio, Italy. It is considered amongst the most renowned carnival celebrations in both Italy and Europe.

Overview
Its main characteristic is given by the parade of floats and masks, usually made of paper-pulp, depicting caricatures of popular people, such as politicians, showmen, and sportsmen; the parade is held on the Viareggio avenue located alongside the local beach.

181 >>To my surprise, this boat had A/C. But boy was that critical. Even in November, with fairly decent trade winds including at night, we would have all been sleeping up on top without it. First Caribbean experience, very different from Pacific/Sea of Cortez.

Catamarans have taken over the Caribbean bareboat world and for good reason. Big comfy platform that's perfect for the kind of sailing you usually do there which is casual and mainly about the experience and not hard core sailing but still gives the sail feel while offering an easy space for chilling.

Can't speak to the lack of marine life. Been a few years since I've been back but I never experienced that so maybe things have changed or maybe just the conditions. The Caribbean is usually not lacking for marine life.

The presence of communists in the Democrat Party isn't just a recent phenomenon, and fighting the Russians for eastern Europe wouldn't have been very popular for either party here in 1945.

I would argue that letting the Russians bleed themselves to death for ephemeral territorial gain as American Policy isn't wholly irrational.

If you want to take a tour, a cruise ship is the way to go. You get to go to bars and restaurants and comedy clubs and stuff during the travel time. If you go by bus, you're stuck sitting on a bus. If you drive yourself, you can't drink nearly as much.

And you go back to the same "hotel room" every night, so you can unpack. You don't have to live out of your suitcase. And a lot of the boring travel time happens while you're sleeping.

254 #35 Newsweak taken in by fake 1721 'painting' predicting Trump airplane McDonald's meals with supporters.

YOU’VE BEEN TRUMP’D! Newsweek Becomes Punchline By Fact Checking Future-Predicting Prank Painting.

To the non-journalistic eye that’s a fake image. But, Newsweek said, ‘No so fast! This involves Trump! We must warn the public!’ What proceeds is a floundering ‘news’ outlet falling for a twist on the popular Deez Nuts meme.

257 They actually ran with it: Fact Check: Did Deitz Nuutzen Painting Predict Trump Dinner With RFK Jr?

Looking at the “painting” it looks AI-generated. The composition exactly matches the photograph, down to the person in Musk’s position having their hands on their thigh with four fingers visible, the gold bar as the base of the table, and the figures in Kennedy and Musk’s position both wearing modern leather dress shoes, not typical of the early 18th Century.

Deitz Nuützen is a homophone of “Deez Nutz,” an internet slang term for testicles (these nuts).

The meme has its origins in rapper Dr. Dre’s 1992 album The Chronic. It has a track called “Deeez Nuuuts” in which rapper Warren G tells a joke to a woman on the phone, the punchline of which is “deez nuts.”

In March 2015, Instagram user @WelvenDaGreat posted a video of himself calling his friend asking whether something came in the mail today, because he was expecting “deez nuts” before letting out a screeching laugh and yelling “gotteem.”

That video became a viral sensation and internet meme. Musk himself has posted at least two “deez nutz” memes on his X account this year.

On Election night Paul Murray was on the roof of some building in Washington. New South Wales is Zulu+10 (give or take depending on their DST) so they are 15 hours ahead of EST. Anyway he was up on the roof in the early morning when it was just primetime in Oz.

He had a former Australian ambassador to the US (he's here now working for some private Aussie firm) for analysis, and that guy understood Trump well and gave good analysis of the results and what it means.

Via zerohedge, El Malo gato writes about what is coming to DC

https://tinyurl.com/3x8u4nau

"The simple fact is that there exists a very small group of incredibly high-function, insanely productive people. It’s the dirty secret of the world. This tiny tribe conceives, invents, and builds basically everything novel. All of it. They are not normal people. They are the 0.1%.

"Unless you have worked with them, around them, or been a part of what they do, you simply lack a reference for what they are like. It’s essentially inconceivable how much such people can get done when they set their minds to it, how many rules they will disprove, break, or ignore, and how many paradigms they will upend.

"DC has never seen a mob of high-function autist builders and fin warriors coalesce before. They have no fricking idea what’s coming. They cannot possibly know."

"No way, no how," said Thomas Gazsi, Deputy Executive Director of Public Safety at the Port of Los Angeles, "LA has enough earthquake problems, without inviting tsunamis. Kristol and Goldberg alone would turn everything from San Pedro to Long Beach into a big bowl of soup - and you know those two wouldn't pass up free soup. It's free, and it's food.

I believe it’s so devastating because the Left truly has replaced Religion with Politics. Theya have a fanatical absolute Faith in their dogma; they are the truest of true believers. They were absolutely certain, it was an article of faith, that Kamala would win and Trump and his followers would be humiliated.
And what happened? Their god failed; their prophets proved false. A huge hole has been ripped out of the core of their psyche; every one of them is reevaluating everything they believe about the world.

355 many sports teams fall into the same trap, especially the team i'm most familiar with. they achieve some early success in the game or season, and start to think they've already won it all. they relax, start celebrating, and generally stop doing some of what won them the early success. the other team rallies and fights back, and stuns the over-confident team.

Update: Mike Johnson Has "Privately Committed" to Blocking Men From Using Women's Bathrooms and Locker Rooms

I wrote in the last post that his line about "kindness and dignity" seemed to signal he would give in to the lunatic left on this issue.

But Breitbart reports he's privately assuring people he won't.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has privately committed to back an effort led by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) to block biological men from using women's restrooms in the U.S. Capitol.
Mace announced Monday she would introduce a resolution to ban transgender women (biological men) from using biological women's restrooms at the U.S. Capitol.
Johnson, during Tuesday morning's weekly House Republican Conference meeting, said transgender women won't be allowed to use women's restrooms in the Capitol, Politico reported.
"He said there's not going to be any biological men using our restrooms," Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told Politico.
Mace confirmed Greene's account, telling Axios that Johnson "said to me last night that he would include it in House Rules."

Speaking of MTG: Leftwing controlled opposition traitors John Cornyn and James "Comprehensive Amnesty" Lankford are attempting to derail Gaetz's nomination:

Cornyn tells the WSJ that if the House Ethics Committee doesn't release the Gaetz report after their meeting tomorrow, they'll call the witnesses they already know about to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. pic.twitter.com/x4c6V9F7nv
— Ben Domenech (@bdomenech) November 19, 2024

MTG says that if they doxx Gaetz, she'll work to doxx all of Congress:

ep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸
@RepMTG
For my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate,
If we are going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed, then put it ALL out there for the American people to see.
Yes..
all the ethics reports and claims including the one I filed
all your sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled paying off victims with tax payer money
the entire Jeffrey Epstein files, tapes, recordings, witness interviews
but not just those, there's more, Epstein wasn't/isn't the only asset
If we're going to dance, let's all dance in the sunlight.
I'll make sure we do.

Hear hear. Let's start with Cornyn and Lankford. They seem like the kind of people to have "interesting" private lives.

Unrelated:

Rep. James Comer
@RepJamesComer

My staff just made contact with a new whistleblower who provided a credible account that a FEMA contractor visited the home of an elderly disabled veteran's family around October 10. While there, he recommended that the family remove Trump campaign materials and signs from their house and yard, stating that his FEMA supervisors view Trump supporters as domestic terrorists.
The elderly homeowners were so frightened by this and afraid that they would not recover their loss that they removed the signs. Nevertheless, FEMA has not returned to their residence. This took place not in Florida, but Georgia.

4 Continued from the last thread. Re: faguar's new ad.

[Scene: Don Draper stands in front of a dimly lit boardroom, flanked by sleek images of the new Jaguar model. The executives sit, waiting.]

Don Draper:
"Jaguar. For decades, you've been synonymous with luxury, speed, and sophistication. You've sold the dream of living fast and owning the world. But here's the thing about dreams—they evolve.

Today, the dream isn't just about fitting in with the elite. It's about breaking the mold, owning your narrative, and driving forward unapologetically.

The world is changing, and so is your audience. They don’t want a car that represents who they used to be - they want one that represents who they are now. Enter the new Jaguar: bold, refined, and as fearless as the people who drive it.

We showcase that fearlessness with a campaign featuring transgender models - icons of courage and transformation. They know what it means to defy expectations, to live authentically, to be the Jaguar of their lives.

The tagline: 'Jaguar: Drop the dick and make the switch.'"

(3) Chromosomal Biological Sex (Male or Female, based on Primary Sex Organs being testes or ovaries (in turn based on existence or not of a Y chromosome).

"What distinguishes males and females biologically is the size of the gametes (sex cells) they produce. Males produce small gametes (sperm) and females produce large gametes (ova). But on an individual level (since not all individuals may be able to produce gametes) an organism’s sex corresponds to the type of primary sex organs (testes vs ovaries) and individual has developed."

Gaetz is a thorn in the side of Uniparty - they have a motive to destroy him and it seems like that is what is happening. Now that he has been nominated by Hitler to be the exact AG that will rip the place up, well, we just can't have that can we? The forces behind these allegations ultimately want to cripple Trump's administration and protect their precious DC power. My view: put these accusers on the stand, so to speak, and let them prove we must believe all woman. If they are credible they will be found credible and if they are incredible they will be found incredible. As for the senators playing fuckery here, they know they face no consequences, let them get bloodied up by all this. After 8 years of Trump persecutions the gloves are off.

Sundance over at the CTH (Conservative TreeHouse) blog floated the idea a week ago after Kristi Noem's nomination as Secretary of DHS -- based on a 3-year-old news story that Thune's wife wanted out of D.C. and to return home to South Dakota (and Thune himself considered retiring two years ago) -- that part of the motivation for Trump nominating Noem was to open the Governor's seat there as an inducement for Thune to retire from The Senate and return to SD (where he'd presumably run for Governor and win).

The elderly homeowners were so frightened by this and afraid that they would not recover their loss that they removed the signs. Nevertheless, FEMA has not returned to their residence. This took place not in Florida, but Georgia.

People need to go to J6 prison and have their cases heard late in the second term of President Vance.

For example: "Pro-Choice" would be replaced with "Baby Murder," "Gun Control" would be replaced with "Victim Disarmament," "Gender" would be replaced with "Sex," etc.

I have a lot of ideas ... but never the confidence to follow-through with them. Maybe if I ever retire ...

150 This round should make it clear even to those who were framing the issue poorly. Trump's picks are often unsatisfactory because ..... he is picking from a very unimpressive pool. Which is to say the lowering tide has lowered all boats. Once you've ruled out the vast majority of known people with "experience" and the correct conventional background for a given position, because they're part of the ongoing disaster ruining the country, you don't have many names left.

Recall the groundswell of protest and skepticism when Mattis was picked as SecDef, or when McMaster was picked as NSA (and on, and on) - oh that's right, there were really wasn't one. Because many of the people who seemed OK or even better than OK turned out to be very much not OK.

It's almost to the point where if a known name is picked, it's a mistake, so few are the known names who have the seriousness, integrity, and mindset to actually do their jobs and serve the country. Of course there are exceptions. But just as with Trump, the correct (or best available/lowest risk) choice may be someone who you might never have picked a few years ago, either no-names or rough-edged characters like Gaetz, MTG, et al.

I agree: years ago I remember seeing a web-page titled something like "transwoman success stories," and it was just a page of rather ordinary people who had appropriate amounts of the right kinds of surgery, stylistic choices and so on, that they looked like unremarkable women.

Today that idea is attacked by the Gender Theory crowd. Which also explains why they have been able to take over so thoroughly; the transsexuals (of which I would consider myself) are devoted to being ordinary and going unnoticed in most settings. It's hard to imagine a group of people less inclined to subject themselves to the hostility and ridicule that the "TRAs" can dish out.

This also explains (IMO) why so many public "trans" people don't pass: because the TRAs not only don't think "passing" is important, they are actively against it.

Quick Hits

The Pentagon is shredding all records and evidence of its DEI agenda.

The Pentagon is in "absolute disarray" with "generals scrambling" due to the incoming Trump administration's plans to fire woke senior military leaders who prioritized diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) over combat readiness, according to sources.
One source compared it to a hornet's nest being kicked over and that "DEI pages are starting to disappear off the main websites."
The scramble to hide evidence comes as President-elect Donald Trump's transition team has begun gathering names of senior officers who pushed DEI.
...
Shoemate, who is soliciting names of senior military officers from his vast network of service members and veterans, said in a phone interview with Breitbart News, "They are interested full speed on DEI."
"They want to lop off the head of the Marxist snake. And so that's the primary criteria that I'm trying to focus on," he said.
Shoemate said he is differentiating between officers who have promoted DEI to the detriment of the force, and those who simply have gone along with it.
"We're looking for those who have aggressively pursued DEI policies, and then potentially been the worst about retaliation against troops for the COVID mandate and stuff like that."

A shredding company truck also pulled up today in front of the corrupt criminal DOJ:

(Anti-)Scientific American's woke incompetent Editor in Chief has resigned after attacking half of the country as fascists -- and having turned the once-respected journal into a gonzo leftwing agitprop site little different from Pink News.

Earlier this week, Laura Helmuth resigned as editor in chief of Scientific American, the oldest continuously published magazine in the United States. "I've decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief," she wrote on Bluesky. "I'm going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching), but for now I'd like to share a very small sample of the work I've been so proud to support (thread)."
Helmuth may in fact have been itching to spend more time bird watching--who wouldn't be?--but it seems likely that her departure was precipitated by a bilious Bluesky rant she posted after Donald Trump was reelected.
In it, she accused her generation, Generation X, of being "full of fucking fascists," complained about how sexist and racist her home state of Indiana was, and so on.
"Fuck them to the moon and back," she said of the dumb high school bullies supposedly celebrating Trump's victory.

Whether or not Helmuth's resignation was voluntary, it should go without saying that a few bad social media posts should not end someone's job. If that were the whole story here--an otherwise well-performing editor was ousted over a few bad posts--this would arguably be a case of "cancel culture," or whatever we're calling it these days.
But Helmuth's posts were symptoms of a much larger problem with her reign as editor. They accurately reflected the political agenda she brought with her when she came on as EiC at SciAm--a political agenda that has turned the once-respected magazine into a frequent laughingstock.
Sometimes, yes, SciAm still acts like the leading popular science magazine it used to be--a magazine, I should add, that I received in print form every month during my childhood.
But increasingly, during Helmuth's tenure, SciAm seemed a bit more like a marketing firm dedicated to churning out borderline-unreadable press releases for the day's social justice cause du jour. In the process, SciAm played a small but important role in the self-immolation of scientific authority--a terrible event whose fallout we'll be living with for a long time.
When Scientific American was bad under Helmuth, it was really bad. For example, did you know that "Denial of Evolution Is a Form of White Supremacy"? Or that the normal distribution--a vital and basic statistical concept--is inherently suspect? No, really: Three days after the legendary biologist and author E.O. Wilson died, SciAm published a surreal hit piece about him in which the author lamented "his dangerous ideas on what factors influence human behavior." That author also explained that "the so-called normal distribution of statistics assumes that there are default humans who serve as the standard that the rest of us can be accurately measured against." But the normal distribution doesn't make any such value judgments, and only someone lacking in basic education about stats--someone who definitely shouldn't be writing about the subject for a top magazine--could make such a claim.
Some of the magazine's Helmuth-era output made the posthumous drive-by against Wilson look Pulitzer-worthy by comparison. Perhaps the most infamous entry in this oeuvre came in September 2021: "Why the Term 'JEDI' Is Problematic for Describing Programs That Promote Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion." That article sternly informed readers that an acronym many of them had likely never heard of in the first place--JEDI, standing for "justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion"--ought to be avoided on social justice grounds. You see, in the Star Wars franchise, the Jedi "are a religious order of intergalactic police-monks, prone to (white) saviorism and toxically masculine approaches to conflict resolution (violent duels with phallic lightsabers, gaslighting by means of "Jedi mind tricks," etc.)"
You probably think I'm trolling or being trolled. There's no way that actual sentence got published in Scientific American, right? No, it's very real.

But her greatest sin was claiming there was scientific proof that sex-change hormones reduced suidiciality -- there is no such proof at all, just repetitions of this dogma by Big Chop -- and making all other kinds of anti-scientific claims about the wonders of cutting off children's healthy body parts so that they can stop feeling uncomfortable in their bodies and begin a new life of feeling uncomfortable in mutilated, chemically-castrated bodies with a lifetime dependency on drugs and further surgeries. See the link for that.

@BillMelugin_
Reminder: Despite losing the election & polls repeatedly showing Americans favor mass deportations & restrictions on the number of migrants in the country, the Biden/Harris admin is still allowing up to 1,500 migrants to enter the US every day via the CBP One cell phone app & up to 30,000 per month to fly into the US via the controversial CHNV mass parole programs.
Trump & his border czar, Tom Homan, have said they will terminate both of these programs on day one.
The programs have allowed approx 1.4 million migrants into the U.S. in less than two years.
At current staffing levels, ICE does not have the resources to track down & remove those who overstay their parole grants via these programs. The incoming Trump admin has said they will focus first on deporting public safety threats , criminals, and the more than 1 million illegal immigrants who have final orders of removal (already ordered deported by a judge after their cases were heard, but are still here).

🔥NEW: @ScottJenningsKY hits hostile CNN panel with hard facts about Trump deploying military to assist with deportations:

Regarding the man who dresses as if he were a woman and insists on being able to make women feel uncomfortable in isolated spaces: Mike Johnson sounds very cuckish. Yes, he did offer his own private belief that a man is a man and a woman is a woman, but (and you can always ignore everything someone says before the "but," which is a conjunction used to mean "that bullshit out of the way, here's my real position") he wants to treat this Person Place or Thing with "kindness and dignity," which I take to mean "he will be allowed to use the women's bathrooms and locker rooms."

Nancy Mace, however, says she'll fight this all the way.

"General, I have an update on the Progressive Dream. Them/They is being shadowed by a ship of unknown origin."

"Just a second, Major."

A portly man in an overtight class A uniform was working a screwdriver against a tower p.c. With a grunt, he leveraged the panel off and ripped the hard drive out, throwing it on the highly polished floor and stomping it repeated.

"Sir, you do realized that you just destroyed government property."

"I did no such thing, the insurrectionists did it."

"This is a controlled area, how did they get in?"

The flag officer's thinning hair was matted with sweat. "I'll come up with a story later, the important part is that my files are safe."

"No, sir, they're all backed up remotely. Probably on a server in Colorado."

The general slumped into his office chair with a muffled thud, and his chair careened across the smooth floor in a framed picture of Pentagon Drag Queen Story Hour, recently removed from the wall. The impact shattered it.

"Damn it, Major, I've got bigger problems than passenger liner filled with fags and trannies!" Almost as soon as he realized what he said, he raised a hand over his mouth.

Pentagon Releases Records Management Strategy; Kathleen Hicks Quoted
by Jane Edwards, May 24, 2023
The Department of Defense has debuted a new strategy aimed at improving its records management activities as part of efforts to achieve and maintain decision advantage.

“This DoD Records Strategy seeks to employ the latest technologies, such as artificial intelligence and cloud-based services, to reduce the administrative burden associated with records management, while creating an environment where DoD records are automatically identified and captured, expertly curated, and systemically governed,” Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks wrote in a foreword to the document.

Hicks, a 2023 Wash100 awardee, said the strategy builds on the goals included in the DOD Data Strategy.

I was a records manager for a while, and electronic files are treated as paper with retention requirements and file plans, tables and rules, etc.

All backed up remotely. To delete files one has to have a record review performed if it is on the schedule. You can't just wipe it with a cloth.

Literally every document is digitally created and stored, I don't care about the paper, I care about the documents.

So when they say they are "shredding documents," what they mean is that they are deleting files and any archival copies that exist.

Michael Knowles @michaeljknowles
As a matter of justice, Tim McBride should not be able to force his way into the Capitol Hill ladies' room. As a matter of politics, most voters rightly (and passionately) reject trans ideology. This should not be a difficult issue for congressional Republicans.

Former Obama CIA director John Brennan says Tulsi Gabbard "doesn't have the right perspective" to be Director of National Intelligence.

So let's remind people:
-John Brennan voted for the Communist presidential candidate when in college.
-John Brennan lied under oath to the Senate about the CIA spying on Senate staffers.
-John Brennan lied to the public about Obama's drone war, claiming they never killed any civilians when he knew (and it was obvious) that this was false.
-John Brennan helped get the Russia collusion hoax off the ground, and lied that it was "well-founded" and based on real evidence.
-John Brennan lied that the Hunter Biden laptop was fake and was "Russian disinfo."

John Brennan is the exact sort of lifelong Washington D.C. parasite who must be stamped out. He's a dishonest, authoritarian pig who thinks he has the right to lie to the American people at will and either ignore or rig the results of our elections. He belongs in a prison cell.

I will name names. Lucy Sun is the DOJ prosecutor who wanted mother of 8 and grandmother of 7 Rachel Powell (@Iamrachelpowell) 8 years behind bars after 3 years on house arrest. Yes, Rachel broke a window, a misdemeanor, after being shot at with rubber bullets and stun grenades, beaten by the police, tear gassed, and pepper sprayed while protesting the 2020 election fraud. She watched Roseann Boylan killed in front of her. Roseann's corpse was repeatedly beaten by a DC cop. Judge Royce Lamberth, in his 80s, who fell asleep at the bench during her trial, erroneously found Rachel guilty of the 1512 charge, saying that Rachel had to be sent to prison in order to protect the country. Rachel had no prior criminal record, is an exemplary mother, and is still languishing in a federal penitentiary in West Virginia, where six male prisoners pretending to be women are also housed. I have visited her several times. The Hazelton penitentiary is a dysfunctional disgrace. She has been waiting for a resentencing hearing since the June 2024 Supreme Court ruling threw out the 1512 charge. It is now November 18th and nothing has been scheduled. Justice better be coming!

185 Jillian Michaels did an interesting four minute video on RFK and vaccines. She starts with the question, "How are vaccines tested for safety?" She looks on the FDA website and finds a vague handwavey statement that rigorous testing is done.

She then does a bit of a deeper dive into the Hep B vaccine, which is required for children in the US. Hep B is a controversial childhood vaccine because you get it by sharing needles and sex. Newborns are obviously not at high risk.

She then goes into the actual safety testing done on the two currently available Hep B vaccines. For one vaccine, 147 kids were given a course of treatment and monitored for five days after each dose. For the other, it was a four day safety review.

Everyone in the group got the vaccine. There is no long term study.

The problem is the liability laws that cover vaccines. It does not go to a court, but to a 'board' who then decides if something went wrong...

Which of course, it never does.

This is the DDT crap all over again. The Scientists who looked at the actual tests, said DDT was OK, and were then over ruled by the Guy in charge... who then quit and went to word for a pesticide company...

246 The idea that the DOD is hiding breaks my heart.

I was a 23 year old twice LCpl, having had a court-martial, but even though I got fucked, I got promoted merit again and again,and I sat, the ONLY Private servicemember (the proper term for e1-e3) in an inspection review for my "battalion" it's called a group CSSG-1, but it's a battalion, serving under 1st FSSG, during a fsamao (pardon the acronymn, it's been a long time) and as the ONLY non NCO, or SNCO present at the review, I corrected one of the inspectors.

How things work is inspectors ALWAYS find a way to find a "hit" an incomplete performance on part of one of the groups that are being reviewed, especially in the initial inspections, the goal is to keep the people being inspected on their toes so they can be as clean as clean can be. That's a useful tactic for TRAINING, but not for a real Audit, which is what a FSMAO is.

Posted by: Wickedpinto at November 20, 2024 06:51 AM (XKj0h)

247 One of the inspectors, he was a Gunnery Sgt from another unit tossed out a casual hit even admitting that it was no big deal, but that "hit" landed on me, and I was at the table. I had been through enough bullshit made up out of nowhere (also I was responsible for a lot of the other no hit data that was being reviewed, but only my command and commander knew that.) with my court-martial while still being chronically meritorious promoted, I wasn't gonna sit there and be treated as a sacrifice so that the inspector can find a "hit" to prove he was doing his job.

I can't remember the exact marker he hit me on, I don't know if it was me, I DO know because of his shock at me defending the status of MY unit, we were clean, and MY work, I was fucking sublime

Posted by: Wickedpinto at November 20, 2024 06:55 AM (XKj0h)

248 So LCpl (2nd time, and 2nd time Merit) Pinto, when faced with this insult, even though at the time 4 times promoted meritorious Pinto didn't want to take another hit just because because I already lost my career, I wasn't gonna surrender my reputation I said, "Uh, Gunnery Sgt, I understand how you are incorrect, but I need to include some information."

It wasn't me raising my hand, it wasn't me begging permission, it was me, the ONLY private enlisted officer at the table, taking over the table because I wasn't gonna be his bitch because he thought he could get away with it. If I "MIGHT" have been wrong, that could be a discussion, but he said I was wrong, I was NOT.

My Plt Commander, a VERY smart man, at first looked at me as though "What are you doing? You know how this works?" Which is, you take the hit and then you keep doing what you do anyway and then you get praise and the person who bashed you takes the praise. "If it wasn't for me getting on his shit he wouldn't have delivered." that sort of stuff.

FUCK THAT! I spent a month in the brigg because a cuck couldn't control his cock and fucked a barracks betty, and he thought it was me who put

249 fingerprints on his sons forehead. It wasn't me, I know the story, I was there, and I was memorable, and that fucking guy went out of his way to destroy what I intended to be my career, and he succeeded, even putting me in the fucking brig by recruiting everyone around him, by basically saying he's a cuck. How's that for MARINE CORPS MAN!? My wife cheated on me with this PUNK, but I'm better, lets all conspire to fuck his life.

Anyways, Getting CM'd for disrespect and spending time in the brigg gave me something. a complete lack of fucks.

So I interrupted when they tried to give me and mine a hit that was bullshit, and not just bullshit in a conceptual way, but outright wrong. I interrupted.

My plt comm, wasn't surprised, but he was curious as to what I would do, and I hit the fucker. I'm trying to remember all of it, but I said something like "I think you are using a MMS message from a few months ago that had an incorrect referece to the 4700, but the rule is in the 1410.34F, and the MMS suggestion should have been retracted, and it might have been, but I've been too busy preparing for this, can I borrow your manual Gunnery Sgt?"

That is when my Plt Commander

Posted by: Wickedpinto at November 20, 2024 07:06 AM (XKj0h)

250 and Company Commander, and my SNCOIC really gave me a stare, because they knew I was gonna strike that bitches ego. The SNCOIC, Gunny Craig, Great guy, and probably the biggest pric to me of any, because he recognized that I only respect power, was on the edge of laughter.

I didn't have notes, I'm a nobody as far as the SNCO's were concerned, they thought I was a clerk, but I was more, and I said, "Both of them" meaning the 4700 logistics manual, and the MCO 1410.34F which is the uniform code, and I vocalized the entire thing, using his own references in front of the table.

That fucker had to back down and acknowledge "There might be a conflict there LCpl Pinto, thank you for pointing that out."

The look on the faces of everyone who knew me was hillarious, but I KNOW that the look on my face was pure murder. I hated everyone at the table who was operating on the idea that I was a Bird.

a month later I got a NAM in peacetime, when 1 in 17 Marines IN TOTAL get one, that includes all of the still wartime and combat marines having names, I was pure peace, and I was ranked with the MAJORITY of the NAM receivers being wartime vets, because I didn't put up with no shit,

I would rather clean the shit off of Elons second assistant to the insulation inspection's toilet than serve under anyone who DARE treat service as something to be hidden.

Since I was AT LEAST 12, when my brother went to war, I wanted to serve my nation in uniform and I thought it was the highest sacrifice worthy of the only reward being pride in what only you know, and I was a Marine (if you hadn't heard) and I LOVED it, I sacrificed so much for it to make others proud not so much me, but still me, and I would have talked it up for 20 of the last 30 years since I enlisted.

In the last I would say 10 I changed my mind. I still take pride in my service, and my brothers and every heterosexual male in my family's service, and I love and admire those who stood despite the horror that has been reeked over all of the services, including My Beloved Corps (and yes we talk like that) I will NOT, even under Trump who loves us, I will NOT recommend service to ANYONE I care about. Even The Corps pissed away it's pride, and I was there as it started to fall fastest, and even all these years later it breaks my heart and makes me want to cry.

Posted by: Wickedpinto at November 20, 2024 07:39 AM (XKj0h)

253 The idea that the hard men for hard times are shitting their pants at . . . .Doing what they are told, makes me Ashamed almost that I ever promoted service as much as I did.

You don't need them to tell you you are an American or a Patriot. Odds are, that over the last 40 years, maybe more, they are the WORST people to support your love of nation. Listen to your parents, your pastor, your friends, and protect your family and community as best you can, but I still, even under Trump, will never recommend service again, and I appologize to everyone who I ever did recommend it too, and I'm sorry I have these stories I'm so proud of, because _I_ am proud of them. Please do not go my path until America as a whole gets it's shit right. They didn't get it right while I was in, and it's FAR worse now.

If Ford still owns them, this makes perfect sense, just like Ford going all in on EV.

38 This reminds me of luxury brands advertising.

They stopped using beautiful models and started using...stark-looking fashion models. Striking but strange looks.

My theory was the buyers are rich women who may not be that beautiful but want to "stand out"

"I'm special" vs. "I'm attractive"

147 Two thoughts about this

1) why do they mix capital letters and lower case letters in their logo? Its like 7-11.
2) this is exhibit A for my argument that ad companies do not advertise the products they are hired to, they advertise their ad company. This will win awards and drive business to them, but not sell a single Jaguar.

This just isn’t it guys. You’ve lost the epicness of the cat, like Aston has its wings…what you’ve made is some sort of cheap brand perfume you’d find in Poundland.

I don’t think this is helping sales, if increasing your rapidly shrinking bottom line is actually goal.

You don’t have to do this humiliation ritual anymore, you can just post a short video of a nice car and call it good.

247 Jaguar is the only traditional car maker that has not stepped back from a 100% EV commitment (to my knowledge). As it stands I believe they have one sport SUV that nobody wants to buy for the same reason nobody wants to buy any of the ultra expensive EVs and nothing of note on the horizon.

1. A life-size Elon Musk, perhaps manning what appears to be a control station for laser weaponry.
2. A Tesla car
3. A Cybertruck

My housemate when I was in college did a conversion of his MG to a Toyota engine and electrics (can't remember if it was an MGB or a Midget). He had to turn the tranny over almost 90 degrees to get the custom shift kit in there, but it worked great. Reliable and he claimed that it more than doubled the hp.

318 Honestly its not THAT stupid of a move by Jaguar.

After all, they sell luxury cars that don't perform particularly well, and the people that buy their overpriced crap are going to be wealthy, and more likely to be leftists. But its still not going to actually help their sales, it just won't hurt much IMO.

Bud Light, on the other hand, was looked down on as 'lower-class' swill by the leftists, its customer base was primarily working class men, and in today's market its never been easier to get a cheap beer alternative.

So, its stupid to think its going to GAIN them anything, but it won't hurt them nearly as badly as Bud Light.

327 Jaguar's been weird for a long time. In the 80s and 90s the XJ's were partially GM by virtue of the transmissions and AC components. The British engines were very fussy so most got replaced with a GM 350ci V8. Ford ended up buying them and the quality went way up because they didn't use Lucas ignitions anymore and Ford ended up with the patent on the old A6 GM a/c compressors.
Ford sold the brand to Tata of India.

A GOP lawmaker introduces a Capitol bathroom rule before her trans colleague arrives, November 19, 20243:23 PM ET

In part, "Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina is defending a measure she recently introduced that would ban transgender women from women's bathrooms in the U.S. Capitol.

It is unclear if the effort will get a vote or if rules in the Capitol will be changed, but the move comes just two weeks after Democrat Sarah McBride became the first openly transgender person elected to Congress.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Mace characterized this specific measure as an attempt to protect women's rights."

406 Speaking of British cars:

My mother didn't learn to drive until she was in her 30s. Her first car, given to to her for free by a friend, was the most unusual car you ever saw: It was an antique British Morris Minor bread delivery truck. Old-school delivery trucks normally have the steering wheel on the "wrong" side -- but because this was originally manufactured in the UK for the British market, he "wrong" side for the steering wheel was on the left -- it it ended up being on the correct side when driven in the US!

It was very small for a bread delivery truck, so ended up being approximately the same size as an American car It's main problem! Ran on a scooter engine. Had the least amount of get-up-and-go of any car ever manufactured. Max speed ~25mph, achieved after about a minute of building up momentum.

That was the car my family had when I was a kid. It had no sats other than the driver's seat - -the kids just goofed around in the flat back area. When it finally broke down, there was no way to fix it, because not a single car-repair shop had the parts or had even even heard of such a vehicle.

Biden Gives Ukraine the OK to Use Long-Range US Missiles (Using US Targeting Information) To Strike Targets Deep Within Russia;
Putin Announces He Is Changing Russia's Nuke Rules to Allow Using Nukes Against Ukraine

Russia had previous followed a no-first-use doctrine that stated that would not use nuclear weapons against any non-nuclear country.

Now that Biden has decided to escalate to Defcon 2 and give Ukraine the OK to use the missiles we're giving them to hit Russian targets deep inside of Russia, Putin has changed the doctrine: Now Russia says it can use nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear country, if that country is using weapons supplied to it by a nuclear country. America, in other words.

Biden is hoping Putin, the man he screams is a rogue leader, is just bluffing about dropping a nuke on Ukraine.

Hope is not a plan.

Putin Lowers Russia's Threshold for Using Nuclear Arms
A decree signed by the Russian leader, though long planned, came days after President Biden authorized the use of U.S.-supplied missiles by Ukraine for strikes inside Russia.

President Vladimir V. Putin on Tuesday lowered Russia's threshold for the use of nuclear weapons, a long-planned move whose timing appeared designed to show the Kremlin could respond aggressively to Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory with American missiles.
The decree signed by Mr. Putin implemented a revised version of Russia's nuclear doctrine that Mr. Putin described in televised remarks in September. But the timing sent a message, coming just two days after the news that President Biden had authorized the use of U.S.-supplied longer-range missiles by Ukraine for strikes inside Russia.
Asked whether Russia could respond with nuclear weapons to such strikes, Dmitri S. Peskov, Mr. Putin's spokesman, repeated the new doctrine's language that Russia "reserves the right" to use such weapons to respond to a conventional-weapons attack that creates a "critical threat" to its "sovereignty and territorial integrity."
Russia's Ministry of Defense later announced that Kyiv had used the ballistic missiles known as the Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMS, in a pre-dawn attack on an ammunition depot in southwestern Russia. A senior American and a senior Ukrainian official, both of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing operations, confirmed that the strikes used ATACMS, which have a range of 190 miles, the longest of any munitions the West has given to Ukraine.

Biden is escalating dangerously and once again urging Ukraine to risk losing hundreds of thousands of people. Remember, though, it's Trump who's the out-of-control maniac who will bring on World War III.

CNN has a problem: It's telling its few remaining viewers that Trump will start World War III, when Russia just announced it might drop nukes on Ukraine owing to Biden's provocations and escalations.

How to fix?

Simple, downplay the whole "Russia might use nukes" aspect of the story.

CNN reports only that Putin is "fine-tuning" his "nuclear doctrine."

Fine-tuning it how? CNN doesn't want its braindead zombie cultist viewers to know!

Putin fine-tunes Russia's nuclear doctrine after Biden's arms decision on Ukraine, in clear signal to West

Stay gold, CNN.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden, the world's greatest foreign policy expert as rated by a panel of people named "Joe Biden," has brought so much peace and stability to the world that Sweden is stockpiling food and water in fear of a nuclear attack by Russia.

Sweden is sending out five million pamphlets to residents urging them to prepare for the possibility of war, with instructions on how to stockpile food and even seek shelter during a nuclear attack, as fears grow of a conflict between Russia and NATO.
Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Stockholm has repeatedly urged Swedes to prepare both mentally and logistically for a possible conflict, citing the worsening security situation in its vicinity.
It comes as tensions between Moscow and the West have escalated to new heights after Joe Biden gave Kyiv the green light to blast targets deep inside Russia with US-supplied long-range missiles, which Donald Trump's son has criticised as making sure 'they get WWIII going before my father has a chance to create peace'.
The booklet 'If Crisis or War Comes', sent out by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB), contains information about how to prepare for emergencies such as war, natural disasters, cyber attacks and terrorism.
'An insecure world requires preparedness. The military threat to Sweden has increased and we must prepare for the worst - an armed attack,' its new introduction states.
In one of the more worrying excerpts, which harks back to advice given by governments during the darkest days of the Cold War, it informs people of the risk of nuclear weapons.
'The global security situation increases the risks that nuclear weapons could be used. In the event of an attack with nuclear, biological or chemical weapons, take cover in the same way as in an air attack,' the pamphlet instructs readers.
'Shelter provides the best protection. After a couple of days, the radiation has decreased significantly,' it advises, adding that people will be warned of attacks over the radio and should go to basements or subways if there is no better option.
Another message, which has been brought forward from the middle of the booklet in the updated version, reads: 'If Sweden is attacked by another country, we will never give up. All information to the effect that resistance is to cease is false.'

WAR: Biden is Escalating Ukraine War to Protect His Legacy, Risking WWIII. Michael Waltz, the incoming National Security Advisor under President Trump, has accused the Biden regime of deliberately escalating the war in Ukraine to preserve its legacy at the expense of global stability. Speaking on Fox News, Waltz criticized President Biden's secretive decision to allow U.S.-supplied long-range missiles to be used against targets inside Russia--a move Waltz says he was not briefed on, despite daily intelligence updates as part of the transition process.
"This is another step up the escalation ladder, and no one knows where this is going," Waltz warned, pointing out that Biden's actions appear to prioritize political optics over diplomacy. "How do we get both sides to the table? To end this war. What's the framework for a deal? And who's sitting at that table? These are the questions I and President Trump are working to answer, but Biden's actions are making that almost impossible."
Critics have raised concerns that Biden fears Trump will successfully broker peace in Ukraine, a move that would overshadow Biden's legacy and his failed foreign policy. Waltz echoed this theory, suggesting Biden is willing to risk World War III rather than allow Trump to achieve what he could not.
"It's clear Biden doesn't want Trump to inherit a path to peace. Instead, he's doubling down on a war that no one--Biden included--seems to have an endgame for," Waltz said.
Waltz also called out the Biden regime's refusal to cooperate with the Trump transition team, describing it as a deliberate attempt to obstruct efforts for a smooth transfer of power during a critical time. He further highlighted the global ramifications of Biden's recklessness, citing rising tensions with North Korea and the broader risk of spiraling instability.
"This isn't just about Ukraine; this is about global leadership. Biden's unwillingness to engage with the incoming administration is dangerous and shortsighted," Waltz concluded.
The Biden regime's decision to escalate without consultation, combined with its failure to coordinate with Trump's team, raises serious questions about its priorities. Waltz's warnings signal growing fears that Biden's focus on preserving his legacy could lead to catastrophic consequences for the United States and the world.

57 Extremely improbable Russia will use nukes in Ukraine. Their achievable objectives are being achieved, slowly, but inexorably. No need for or particular benefit from a nuke strike.

They're grinding away in the east as they have been for a year, making very slow but steady progress. Nothing has changed in the basic framework: if Russia doesn't change its mind and simply stop, they can achieve their (fairly mundane) objectives and Ukraine can't stop them.

Ukes have been striking deep into Russia for a long time, using drones. Refineries, airfields, other targets. The new permission slip from the US adds ATACMS, which is harder to intercept, with a larger payload, but the range is still limited (around 200 miles).

"Peace" in Lebanon right now is a terrifyingly stupid thing, nukes in Ukraine is yet another nothingburger.

"Deep inside Russia?" That's nonsense. The missiles have a range of about 200 miles, and Russia is almost 3,000 miles wide. Plus, there are no cities anyone has ever heard of within range of those missiles. Moscow is far outside their range.

90 It's by moves like this that I wonder if you can't parse out one of the primary "elites" that controls world governments. The move is stupid and risky. The benefactor is MBDA (a French Missile manufacturer which is a grouping of 3 foreign missile manufacturers).

So, if you could determine the primary benefactor of investors of MBDA you probably have a good idea of one of the elusive shot callers.

It seems to be graft motivated. Each Storm Shadow missile costs about $1.2 Million. The stockpile is, of course, limited. They're likely already in the Ukraine theater. So, MBDA benefits on paper and in the open for a new order. Who benefits behind the scenes as an investor in that company?

Honestly? Nowhere, because nukes aren’t very useful in the war Russia is fighting, except to level large cities, which Russia has no interest in.

Also, a nuke would lead to WWIII. It’s a no-win scenario for Putin. He’s continuing to grind down Ukraine and NATO stockpiles just fine with conventional weapons. A new administration starts soon. Zelensky will be gone soon.

Remember, Trump was pushing for a stronger alliance with Israel because Kushner wanted to build condos over there or something.

But let's all forget that Zelensky and many of our very own leaders were pushing for investments in Ukraine's rebuilding literally weeks after the war started.

TBH I think lil Z honestly won that election. The other candidate was the guy the CIA installed during the coup because he was supposedly so popular even though Poroshenko has always been a clown.

Lil Z ran on a platform of peace with Russia and ending the dirty war in the east, which of course he didn't do. But the Uke people have been voting for that for decades now.

There was a peace treaty in 2014 after Ukraine got its army surrounded fighting the Donbas militias. I don't think Russia was officially involved itself. This involved negotiations assured by Germany and France to have the Donbas areas be self governing inside of Ukraine and immune to anti ethnic Russian Measures.

These went nowhere and France and Russia did not force Ukraine to settle. And NATO and the US built Ukraine's army back up to fight Russia.

128 Ace, I think the decision to give Ukraine those missiles and allow them to hit targets inside Russia was dumb and provocative, but the histrionics are getting a bit silly.

"Deep inside Russia?" That's nonsense. The missiles have a range of about 200 miles, and Russia is almost 3,000 miles wide. Plus, there are no cities anyone has ever heard of within range of those missiles. Moscow is far outside their range.
Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at November 19, 2024 03:56 PM (d9fT1)

The problem, of course, is that how we define the provocation is irrelevant. All that matters is how Russia defines it.

The only bright spot is that Putin is a very patient man when it comes to dealing with the West.

He waited eight years to invade Ukraine after Obama's meddling came to a head in 2014.

Perhaps Putin will keep a level head until the spring to see what Trump has to offer.

147 "May as well just maintain course." Exactly. And what he will do. As I noted above, the basic framework hasn't changed and within that framework Russia will prevail WRT most of its objectives, if it wants to/decides to.

One objective that was probably always a stretch was ensuring Ukrainian status as non-NATO, formally or de facto. Simply hard to do that absent a political change in Kiev (clearly the "strategy" and objective in Feb. '22).

As CBD and I noted, range on ATACMS is limited. I am fairly sure Uke drone strikes beyond 200 miles have already occurred (I mean substantial ones with some damage to real targets, not symbolic crap aimed at Moscow). Many times.

And Putin's been rattling the nukyler saber since shortly after the war began. Has never been credible, still isn't.

Potential to secure at least an artillery buffer zone around those two oblasts. Almost there.

Just what the F Moscow was thinking incorporating Zaporozhe and Kherson oblasts I have never understood. They have portions of both, but will require some time and heavy lifting to take all of them, much less any buffer around them. This is sort of a mess for Moscow, likely outcome they're split in a settlement, with population exchanges.

I hadn't known much about politics in this region but the final straw was how Ukraine would slap some troops into a useless townlet and let the Russians shell them to ruin at their leisure, then follow that with repeated "meat assaults" as their own troops call them until units are dead. Even their own Bandarite fanatics.

I stay away from most 'war porn' videos but in their grand offensive there was a clip of troops walking miles across a flat as a pool table terrain toward the front, the only cover some brush along the edge of the field most of which had been blasted apart by artillery or drones. Just trudge ahead to nothing, no cover, and see if a plane gets you, a shell, or you get forward far enough to catch a bullet. No chance at all, just keep walking.

195 As CBD and I noted, range on ATACMS is limited. I am fairly sure Uke drone strikes beyond 200 miles have already occurred (I mean substantial ones with some damage to real targets, not symbolic crap aimed at Moscow). Many times.

Yes, of course. This represents no new change in range or capability. It won’t change the war one bit.

So why is the deep state doing it? It’s provocation for provocation’s sake.

199 If Putin decides to nuke a city in Ukraine my bet would be Lviv, formerly Lvov, formerly Lemberg. It used to be 2/3 Polish before WW II , but after the Nazis and Soviets were finished it's 98% Ukrainian. The Russians won't hit Kharkov or anywhere in the Donbas as they want those. They won't hit Odessa as that's a Russian city to them (see Catherine the Great) . They won't hit Kiev as there is a lot of Russian history there. Lviv is close enough to Poland, Hungary and Romania to freak NATO out.

214 A follow-up to CBD's earlier comment -

'Deep into Russia' is not that deep. ATACMS range is not thousands of miles; it's a bit less than 200 miles. 190 miles per reports. The Franco-British Storm Shadow's range is greater, about 340 miles. Storm Shadows have been used by Ukraine for over a year.

Just sayin' that Z-Man is not going to hit Moscow or many Russian strategic targets with ATACMs launched from Ukraine. It will extend Ukraine's strike capability deeper into the rear areas of Russian forces fighting in Ukraine and now trying to re-take Kursk in Russia.

Would be quite messy to back out of the part of Zaporozhe they hold. A bit less but still messy down in Kherson.

266 Same here, I have always thought NK was nothing more than a client state of CHYna. Did Kim even mention this to Xi in advance or did he just decide all on his own?

Russia has plenty of food but wants to minimize Russia casualties. NK could care less about its people dying and not enough food.

Seems like a pretty obvious deal on both sides.

267 Yeah, Russia wants that land bridge to Crimea and a good-sized buffer zone in addition.
The Kerch Strait bridge, has has been shown, is too vulnerable.

That was the entire reason for the war.

268 I dunno, but North Korea joining in so Kim could give his soldier-slaves some real combat training while ingratiating himself to Putin was a little surprising.

I've seen nothing to change my mind on that.

I haven't seen any evidence that there are actually any Koreans anywhere in Kursk, the other battle lines or in Russia at all aside from Western claims.

It would introduce a lot of problems due to lack of training, the language barrier, and equipment.

273 There was a peace treaty in 2014 after Ukraine got its army surrounded fighting the Donbas militias. I don't think Russia was officially involved itself. This involved negotiations assured by Germany and France to have the Donbas areas be self governing inside of Ukraine and immune to anti ethnic Russian Measures.

These went nowhere and France and Russia did not force Ukraine to settle. And NATO and the US built Ukraine's army back up to fight Russia.

277 Russia likely has many lower-yield tactical nukes, and one the size of what we dropped on Hiroshima would be about 15 kilotons.

If they popped KEEEEEE EEEEVE with one it would not kill everyone there, but the survivors would be horribly burned with the radiation.

15 kt is tactical in size, not strategic, which is the class with yields of 100 kt up to mega and larger.

Which nuclear nation would strike Russia if they popped KEEEEEE EEVE with a tactical? France? Britain? Israel? The United States?

What size weapon? A 15 kt on Moscow? I'd bet Moscow could defend that with a shield?

278 Is it more or less of an escalation than Russia using Iranian drones or importing North Korean conscripts to fight for them or deliberately bombing civilian infrastructure?

296 And American- and NATO-sourced targeting data (and sig intel, and much more) has been the basis of every Ukrainian drone and missile strike, and air raid (there've been a few) and commando raid (there've been some particularly stupid/failed ones) Ukraine has launched for over 2 years now.

Nothing new about that.

As for "escalation", someone should draw an annotated timeline from Feb. '22 and explain to me where the "escalation" points were. The conflict has expanded to new modes and areas as the two sides gained the capacity to execute such operations, gradually. A few spikes here and there (Russia seems to decide to degrade Uke electricity infrastructure, then shifts away from that, same with hitting mercenary and foreign trainer centers, on and on).

300 “ Biden Gives Ukraine the OK to Use Long-Range US Missiles (Using US Targeting Information) To Strike Targets Deep Within Russia;
Putin Announces He Is Changing Russia's Nuke Rules to Allow Using Nukes Against Ukraine”

Putin keeps moving his weapons stores out of range. An artificial range that NATO set when they delivered the SCALP systems and later ATACMS. He is then using those stores to launch attacks across Ukraine. It’s war. We call that a tactical adjustment. If Putin was serious about ending this he would be sitting down with that little puke Zelensky. The two of them are so short, they’re bound to see eye to eye.

Russia merchants will not accept any foreign currency for payment, and credit cards no longer work if you are from outside Russia. So you have to bring enough hard currency in to buy rubles - not sure what exchange rate they are forcing, because the ruble itself is currently worth almost nothing. The Russian central bank has already acknowledged their inflation issue but are of course spinning it as favorably as any other government you'd expect to do under the current situation.

Drill baby drill will further hurt their economy as oil shipments account for a fair amount of their hard currency accumulation. That price is going to be going down in a few months.

I think the upcoming Trump administration has two major leverages to stop the war in Ukraine. First, he can stop the direct payments to Ukraine and the shipment of American arms over there. Second, he can indirectly stop funding Russia by opening up American energy production and driving the price down worldwide. Then neither side will be able to continue waging war.

The Kursk 'stunt' has been admitted by Kiev to be an attempt to grab the nuke plant there. Once the raid was blocked, they spent a while driving about trying to attack border guard units in the area without digging in. Eventually reinforcements arrived and the lines firmed up a bit haphazardly. Its a pretty unpopulated forest area not worth anything, and the Ukrainians, by going there have no improved positions. Since then about 40 percent of the area has been recovered, and the Russians are cutting off enclaves and capturing troops, and are threatening to block the only road into the area and bag them all. The bad weather doesn't help with a retreat, which Ukraine never actually does. It looks like a dopey idea turning into a disaster.

Undersea cables get cut all the time. Every few months it makes the news, people scream “sabotage!”

It always turns out to be a ship dragging an anchor. Repairing cables is very common and relatively easy.

Those cables will be repaired shortly. Until then, data gets routed across one of the dozens or hundreds of other undersea cables, same as it always does. The effects are mostly noticed by NOCs, average users wouldn’t even know if the media didn’t make a big deal about it.

Yes, and no. There is a not-insignificant subset of Canadians that would fit right in here. They do tend to be out in the country. But the Canadian character is very different to the American character.

If you tell most Canadians that millions of Americans would absolutely refuse to turn in their guns if the government told them to, they are shocked. It simply doesn't occur to them that the NRA and Republican congressmen aren't the only thing standing between the government and everyone giving up their guns.

Canadians waited around for England to grant them their autonomy. Canadians are very proud of their milquetoast Charter that basically recognizes zero rights as absolutes. Everything is based on time and place and government whims. Most Canadians think they have exactly the same 1st Amendment protections as Americans.

Yeah, I am sure they will try - but it is wildly inefficient to do it at scale. There is a reason why everything moves by rail - and putting together the infrastructure to do it there would be pretty difficult. Doesn't mean they won't try. Just expensive as hell.

AH sent an ultimatum to Serbia that was seen as hugely harsh and overblown so that they could not accept it, except they did -- almost. They said that one demand, I think it was letting AH take over their police or something to investigate the terrorists and Serbian involvement, was against the constitution. If AH had done a compromise on that, such as AH observation of a Serbian investigation, a war might not be needed. But AH wanted the war so it progressed.

Creaky Ancient Leftist Mike Barnicle Tells MSNBC: "I Don't Know How We Make Ourselves Relevant Again"

MSNBC has lost half of its audience. It's not just that the Democrats lost an election. It's that MSNBC essentially guaranteed their audience that the Democrats would win, finally convincing the slow-witted cultists who watch the network that it has been feeding them nothing but lies for ten years.

So of course they're whining about alternative news sources beating them.

At least they're finally grasping that they're no longer relevant:

As ratings and public trust continue to crater � the propagandists at MSNBC are befuddled on where to go from here:

�I don�t know how we make ourselves relevant again." pic.twitter.com/q3P5w6p5LV
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) November 19, 2024

Megyn Kelly blasted these two "frauds" yesterday. She played their constant lies about Trump being Hitler (go to 1:13 to hear that montage) before begging Trump to meet with them. (Reports say he met with them for a short time, though they're making it sound like it was a "summit.")

She went back in time and showed their previous "boot-licking" and "fawning" over Trump in 2016. For a full year, Joe and Mika were Trump's biggest cheerleaders.

And apparently that's because demented narcissist Joe Scarborough thought that Trump would nominate him as Vice President:

Note that homewrecking whore Mika actually flirted with Literal Hitler in that montage.

Trump did not choose Scarborough. Apparently he had some skeletons in his locker.

After not being chosen by Trump, the grifting pair turned on him like cur dogs.

And now that they're worried he might send them to Gitmo -- the Ruthless podcast guys report that they're actually seriously afraid that Trump will declare them terrorists and lock them up at Guantanamo, at some point in that video -- they're begging Senpai for forgiveness.

So disgusting. So nauseating.

If they're really afraid Trump will send them to prison, I would guess that has nothing to do with the Homewrecking Pair being repulsive propagandists. I would guess they have some lurking crime out there, waiting to be discovered, and they've been counting on a Biden (then Harris) presidency to give them the Hunter Biden treatment and let the charges expire due to the statute of limitations.

Rick Wilson, a former Republican political strategist and co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, announced that he’s a senior adviser to a new group called the Two Plus Two Coalition. According to the New York Times, the group plans to target Musk and Rupert Murdoch by uncovering “the hidden sources of disinformation and expose them for what they are,” and operating “as an opposition research firm but with a military-grade intelligence-gathering operation that went far beyond the document vetting typical of a political campaign.”

The coalition, the Times said, “asked donors for a minimum investment of $1 million, and was aiming for an annual budget of $10 million to $15 million.”

Posted by: The Central Scrutinizer at November 19, 2024 02:44 PM (KbCG3)

92 Their characterizations of "influencers" as sources of news reveal quite a lot about them. First Mika's boy says someone weaving a basket might look up and tell the viewer to vote for someone. Then they say they don't know how they'll compete with someone doing a twenty second snippet to describe all of the news of the day that someone might watch while holding a coffee cup and walking with a crowd.

One of the things they're obviously ignoring is how democratized information can be now. Kamala might spend half a million dollars putting together an ad that takes many hours to script, produce, shoot, etc. and it only takes a crowd of thousands of people a minute or so to find authoritative quotes that rebut the claims in the ad.

CNN might spend a whole day consulting with NGOs, the White House, paid "experts" etc to come up with a smear attack on Trump, and the public crowd of thousands can tear it apart within minutes of CNN airing their attack.

Democrats and their media were used to being able to flood the entire information stream for months with their attacks, and eventually even people who never watched the news would be repeating their talking points. Not anymore.

I don't think it would work. Putting aside biases and propaganda, etc. -- the entire programming model of cable news channels just sucks.

They need to fill 24 hours of news with brief segments. By design, that's going to mean very curated, only telling one side of a story. Cable news tried to get around that with Crossfire or Hannity and Combs or whatever, but all of those ended up being annoying shouting matches between talking heads.

I just don't think traditional broadcast TV or even cable is a great medium for news. Nor has it ever been.

Then you add in the fact that literally trillions of dollars ride on how people in the US vote, and of course there is a HUGE financial incentive to turn every channel in to a propaganda channel.

The only model that seems to somewhat work is decentralized longform substacks / podcasts / etc. (yes, we're reinventing radio and newspapers)

129 Here's the secret- the on air "talent" can't make themselves relevant again. MSNBC might be able to make itself relevant again (though, was it ever really relevant?) by hiring newspeople instead of propagandists (good luck finding any with the state of journalism schools and college communications programs these days.) Then get a a group of news analysists who represent a diversity of opinion instead of just a diversity of skin color, gender, and sexual orientation.

Democrats don't have a path to recovery.

If they focus on identity, they will keep losing.

If they stop focusing on identity, they will also lose.

Yup. YouTube's format is way better as you can have fewer shows if nothing is going on or as many or as long as you want if you do. The 12 hour EFAP movie discussions/review/trashings are intentional overkill, but they cost nothing compared to studios and huge staffs. And different people can collaborate and cross pollinate as they want.

According to the New York Times, the group plans to target Musk and Rupert Murdoch by uncovering “the hidden sources of disinformation and expose them for what they are,” and operating “as an opposition research firm but with a military-grade intelligence-gathering operation that went far beyond the document vetting typical of a political campaign.”

185 I don't think it would work. Putting aside biases and propaganda, etc. -- the entire programming model of cable news channels just sucks.

***

It’s also the business model: cable TV audiences are old, getting older, and shrinking. I don’t know anyone my age who has cable TV or satellite.

I think most people who see CNN or MSNBC see clips on Twitter or on political sites, like AoS. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the people watching liberal networks were hate-watching short clips to see people like Mika and Joe make fools of themselves.

And that’s where most of the power of legacy media is: they shape the conversation by posting rage-bait and pathetic slap-fights, which then becomes a major part of the “social media news cycle.” It’s like the 24 hour news cycle, but with more dunking on one another,

It’s the same for NYT and WaPo: once-prominent brands reduced to chumming the Twitter waters with Tranny Outrage Story of the Week. This is why billionaires own these outlets and are willing to lose money on them, because it keeps attention focused away from them and their fortunes.

I don't think the conservative side dominates substack or podcasts.

For example, Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi are Dems. Rogan (biggest podcast) was a Dem until this year. Or still might be a Dem, I don't know.

But my larger point is that most issues are nuanced -- talking about abortion doesn't fit in to a 3 minute segment with a host and 2 screaming heads. There is no way to go in depth on that (or any other issue) in that kind of format, even if everyone was arguing in good faith.

But I could be convinced that they're all idiots.

But for most people, I think they're generally just low information. They just don't really pay attention, which I understand.

217 reporters did everything they could to make sure the story was never about them.

Clete Roberts

After serving as a war correspondent in World War II and Korea, Roberts settled in the Los Angeles area and became a respected radio news reporter, eventually turning to television in the mid-1950s at KNXT Channel 2 (now KCBS-TV), the local CBS owned-and-operated station. He anchored a nightly newscast and occasionally ventured to far-flung locations to report on national and international stories, taking with him his own Bell and Howell movie camera with which he shot his own news footage.

218 I disagree with this deduction. The MSNBC audience is a collective of self-absorbed professional victims. They're out there displaying their well earned depression. They're putting on shows for co-workers, family and friends. Right now, they are being condoned and tolerated. That will end quickly once they aren't getting the attention they think they deserve, and they'll return to their "regular scheduled programming." These people are NPC's and incapable of critical analysis. They need someone to tell them what to do and how to think. That's the purpose of MSNBC (and their ilk). They will return eventually, but first they need the attention they "ultimately deserve." It's how they're bred.

Don't pretend that all of a sudden, these muddle headed nitwits have had an epiphany. They haven't. You're the problem, not them, and not MSNBC.

Anyone nominated by Trump will be attacked by the Left, MSM, and GOPe no matter what, so he might as well appoint whoever he wants.

And, unfortunately, demographics matter to a lot of people. Trump greatly expanded the coalition of Republican voters this election, and he'll need to pander with a few diversity picks to keep that going.

225 I keep hearing a lot from Trump people and the incoming Congress about "Immigration and Economy."

Fine and good, but "election integrity" needs to be of equal importance.

Listening to Ron Johnson on Charlie Kirk talk about how important it is to audit the vote in WI (and elsewhere). In WI in particular there's a state Supreme Court election in April that could tip the balance to the leftists and, in his words, make it so that a GOP never wins a statewide race in WI again.

Election integrity is the ultimate issue, imo, and I just don't see the interest in tackling it coming from Congress.

Conceding all that you said, certain economic realities are setting in anyway. Comcast wants to unload MSNBC because it hemorrhages money. The slump in ratings comes at a terrible time for the 'status quo/tough it out' set.

I don't expect Comcast to sit by idly and wait for MSNBC to return to "normal." From a business standpoint, how good was "normal'?

MSNBC and CNN both suffer from something called "audience capture." They'll lose their existing audience if they try to move toward the center. Their audience now is a distilled essence of leftism.

Bluesky appears to have a different kind of problem, where everyone is trying to ban everyone else until there are only 2 posters left.

I think they would all call themselves Democrats. Or at least they do publicly.

I've been listening to Rogan for, idk, 6-7 years. During that time, he said Obama was the best president ever, he endorsed Sanders, endorsed Tulsi, called Trump all kinds of names, parroted pretty much every leftist talking point

Then started moderating after the media said he took horse dewormer and tried to get Spotify to cancel him. Then endorsed Trump.

So I guess a bit of an evolution. But if you had asked him two months ago, I'm almost positive he'd say he was a life long democrat.

309 Biden's Dog Sniffs, I've been joking that the Beltway starting last week is going to start looking like Berlin in late April 1945. Lots of records being disposed of. And actually, not joking, it's plausible that this is happening.

Normalcy bias for present day Americans includes a presumption that utter, systematic lawlessness as in destroying public information and records is a rare outlier. While that's been true for a long time (thus the normalcy bias), um, now - with this populace, from which this "elite" is derived - ah, no. Berlin, April 1945.

I would think the document destruction at NIH/FDA and DOJ would be leading the pack.

Always has. Back a decade ago, Tumblr was the breeding ground for insane tranny, furry, pedo and ultra-SJW stuff. It was mostly contained there.

Then Tumblr banned porn. Mostly because they were flooded with kiddie porn and couldn’t separate it from the legal stuff, so they gave up.

It caused a mass-exodus of degenerates to Twitter. The tranny/furry/pedo stuff metastasized there and has now gone mainstream.

When Musk bought Twitter one of his first acts was to ban pedos. Now those people (or, at least some) are leaving Twitter for Bluesky. It won’t be long before its drowned in kiddie porn.

Posted by: Disinterested FDA Director and Pfizer Board Member at November 19, 2024 03:27 PM (FC8SQ)

Yeah, I agree.

Well, as I've said (to much controversy) since 2016 -- I think the "Bernie Bros" and "Trumpians" are mostly on the same page in identifying the problems.

Different solutions, sure. But at least we're all coming at it honestly and in good faith. Big step forward from the corporate propaganda / mainstream political conversations. We can find common ground there.

I would put Rogan and Tulsi in the "Bernie Bro" camp. RFK is ... I don't know. Probably not there, but closer to that camp than the Trump camp. In normal times. As they say, politics makes strange bedfellows.

They just re-define what gender and sex means.

gender is "your outward expression of how you present yourself in public" or some such nonsense
and sex is "the reproductive organs you currently have" or similar.

So, sure, with those circular definitions, you could have an unlimited number of genders, and, well, you could theoretically get any numbers of surgeries which would "express your sex differently" and there you go.

I would put Rogan and Tulsi in the "Bernie Bro" camp. RFK is ... I don't know. Probably not there, but closer to that camp than the Trump camp. In normal times. As they say, politics makes strange bedfellows.

Agreed. Ace linked an article a few weeks ago about how the real battle in America is between—I may be misremembering the terms—but “institutionalists” who think everything is fine, and “brokenists” who think the system is utterly corrupt.

The former would include the Obamas, Kamala, Nikki Haley, the Cheneys, Mike Johnson. The latter would include Trump and guys like Rogan, Taibbi, Tulsi, RFK Jr.

I remember Hillary getting her hands on 900 confidential FBI files that included background vetting. At the time, no one really knew why she got them. But, I'm willing to bet it was a recruiting effort for her future political ambitions. As I recall, Peter Strzok got a nice boost to his career right at the end of Bill's second term. I'm sure if you looked closely you'd find a lot of compatriots of Hillary that got unexpected job promotions in Bill's second term...and that a number of them would correspond to the FBI files Hillary had illegally. Just a guess, but it's probably pretty accurate.

I usually did.

But what we're really talking about is the poor kids who get free school lunches because their parents are broke and/or lazy who are forced to eat that garbage daily.

Regardless about how you feel about free school lunch programs, I think the least we could do is try to make them somewhat healthy.

428 More Women Than Expected Are Genetically Men

Sex chromosomes usually determine whether you are female or male. Women are XX. Men are XY. However, genetically, a few women are actually men. They grow up as women with a woman’s body, and most only discover well into puberty that they are different. Danish researchers map for the first time how many women are genetically men. The proportion was higher than expected.

Her Dad was President Carter's NSA.
