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

Macbeth (Rating 3.5/4) Full Review "Welles has always struck me first and foremost as a playful director, and here he goes for home runs of style in adapting a play he obviously loved. It's fun. It's got terror. It's got drama. It's got acting. It looks great. This is just good, old fashioned entertainment." [Personal Collection]
Othello (Rating 4/4) Full Review "It's kind of an incredible achievement overall, especially with the backstory as part of the experience, making it kind of surprising that it works at all.

Chimes at Midnight (Rating 4/4) Full Review "This film is filled with such warm humanity, with Welles' love of the subject, and Welles' talent on full display (including what may be his best performance), and I just fall into its groove and stay there.

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

Some consider William Buell Sprague the father of collecting in America. That may be an overstatement, but there is no question that he diligently assembled a massive collection of early American autographs. We was a well-known Presbyterian pastor but history likely will remember him for being the first to assemble a full set of autographs by each of the 56 Signers of the Declaration of Independence (the first of three) and a full set of autographs by each of Washington’s generals. He built a massive collection.

Jay Leno does not typically open his garage for tours, but this walk around with Tim Burton gives brief sense of what is inside Jays Big Dog Garage. Some of my favorites are in the room with cars powered by airplane engines (minutes five through eight). There is a lot more there and Jay knows a LOT about the engineering, design and history of his cars and bikes. He has never sold a thing.
The largest private collection of tubas - in the world:
Seven Keys Lodge in Estes, Colorado features a collection of keys. The book - Seven Keys to Baldpate - was written in 1913 and inspired the name of the inn which was first the Baldpate Inn before becoming Seven Keys Lodge. The hotel had a tradition to give a single metal key as a memento of their stay to each person, saying that it was the One and only key to Baldpate. During World War I, the price of metal increased which caused a reconsideration of the tradition. Lore has it that Clarence Darrow suggested that the hotel should see if guests would be willing to leave a key instead. He left the first key and now thousands of keys hang from the ceiling.
Keys of distinction have found their way. Notable keys are purportedly from Westminster Abbey, Mozarts wine cellar, Frankensteins Castle, Adolf Hitlers bunker, the Pentagon, a White House bathroom, keys to robbed banks, and the dressing rooms of Hollywood actors.
What will happen to all the stuff in the shop of Adam Savage (of Mythbuster fame) after he dies?

I could have made a mint selling off my collection during the pandemic since video games were one of the few areas that did really well, what with going outside being made illegal and all. I started trying to value everything for a side project I'm working on (pricecharting.com is the go-to although it has its flaws since it's based on eBay sales) and was honestly shocked at how much it was worth in total.
I'm not in this hobby to make money, though. I regularly play with them daily. The thing is I could probably cash out and be fine since there are currently lots of ways to actually play the games even without the hardware. It's getting harder every day though thanks to Nintendo going nuts cracking down on ROM sites.

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

I even have a birth year razor, a Gillette Super Speed, the "butterfly" type where you twist the bottom of the handle and the doors crank open so you can change the blade. If I ever run across a pipe from my birth year, like a Dunhill ($$$), I'll consider grabbing it.

I am fascinated by the things in them that change and those that remain the same- fashions in food, home decor, gardens. Innovations and improvements in home building, appliances and home goods. National and even international issues- my 1918 Good Housekeeping has an article on "What is Bolshevism?"
Now that I am rather vintage myself, I am looking for some issues that I recall reading myself back in the '60s and 70s.

I have a substantial collection but I haven't added anything in about 25 years. I lost the urge to collect.
It's all carefully stored and put away. When I'm gone, I expect my daughters will sell it off for a pretty penny.

I try not to read "behind the scenes" "tell-all" bits about my favorite movies or TV shows. Recently I found out that John Wayne did not get along well with Kim Darby during the filming of True Grit, as she was more of a Method actor, alien to his technique. I don't need to hear or read about these things, I really don't.
On the other hand, Johnny Crawford has always said that he admired and got along great with his TV dad on The Rifleman, Chuck Connors; and Robert Vaughn and David McCallum were good friends on U.N.C.L.E., despite the fan-magazine stories about some feud between them back in the day.

I have an old, two volume set on the Civil War... printed in the late 1800's. Poor shape. Probably not a "collection." It does have some cool maps however.
There's also about a dozen men's watches. Mediocre quality throughout. Don't wear any of them.
I also have a cigar collection that I piss away daily by smoking one.

My mother kept them and stashed them in a cabinet. I found them when I was cleaning out her apartment after she passed . . . and, in an emotional storm from that and my impending divorce, I left them behind. I wonder if the owners found them, or if any succeeding tenant did. They go for nice money on eBay now.

OE, if you mean the "slash" fiction, oh yes there is, and quite a bit. It gives me the willies even to read a little of it. It's as if you were to read a story in which John Wayne's Hondo Lane and Alan Ladd's Shane were to have a long-standing "relationship" a la Brokeback Mountain(!).
Mostly women writers go in for that stuff. There are good women fanfic writers, but the storytellers in MfU fic are mostly men.

The best give I ever gave my late father, who had an extensive stamp collection, was the stamps that I gathered when I was working the Iowa State University's Library mail room. I think he was tickled that someone would spend all year gathering stamps for him.
Many's the night he would sit in front of the television, making custom-sized window envelopes for his collection out of IBM punch cards and business-sized window envelopes he'd gotten in the mail.

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

My mother tossed all my Silver Age DC Comics, which would be worth $$ now. But she never dared to touch my U.N.C.L.E. stuff. A lot of it I collected once I was out of the house and working anyway.
Don't have the laserdisc version, but I did buy the attache case with the complete DVD series the moment it came out in '07. As I said at the time: "I don't care if it has to come from Aldebaran via Interstellar Express. It's U.N.C.L.E.!"

My pipes are chosen by the draw, how they feel in the hand and in the mouth and if the shape is interesting. For all their popularity, I'm not a fan of Peterson System pipes. But I've put together a nice selection of Nording freehand pipes. Also, I have several models of the MacQueen churchwarden pipes. Partly for their smoking qualities and partly for the LOTR inspiration. behind them.

Now that I have a variety of the pipe shapes I like, I've slowed down on the purchases. I'll look at something nice and then realize, "You have one just like that." If a pipe is an unusual or defunct brand, or goes back to a decade when pipe smoking was a normal thing, then I'll consider it.
One, a Butz-Choquin Dublin, I bought on (I think) eBay. It is so nicely shaped and finished I haven't even smoked it. It seems a shame to bring a match anywhere near such a pretty wood sculpture. Maybe I'll smoke it for Christmas.

While I usually limit myself to spending $20-$30 for a book nowadays, I have spent a couple hundred for a few rarities.
Maybe one of the best scores I ever found was a rather battered 1st edition copy of one of Louis L'Amour's first novels with an almost perfect dust jacket still preserved in an old library cellophane cover. I paid about $5 and the book goes for big money.

My shed is built with that scrap and my cousin did a sun room from it. Contractor caught us and was impressed with what we had done but from then on he had his guys do it instead. He framed and sided a whole house on the jobsite with what he had. Saved about $30,000 on that one and wrote us both a nice little Christmas bonus check.
Had no idea how much was left over from the kit he bought for each house.

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

House I own, Jig built out of old dried wood, in 1958... trucked to the site... then finished up.
They don't do that anymore, but this house is fucking solid, and straight.
Had to replace part of an Eve a couple years back, and had to cut down a much larger piece of wood to make it fit (as modern lumber just aint even close to the size it says it is).
New piece is no where near the strength of that old wood.

Some I donated, some I tossed because they were chipped, some I sold in a garage sale, some I boxed up and took down to the local restaurant that does a buffet because they like to use odd mugs.
I figure in a year or so I will take another box of them down because mugs break all the time.
who knows I might start going down on saturdays again and sneak one or two in each time.

I tell people (if they ask) that I collect fans - folding fans or those chinese membrane fans, doesn't really matter. It makes an easy souvenir for them to pick up if they travel somewhere and want to get me something.
My dad collected packs of cards for a similar reason.

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

I have a few oddments that I have picked up over the years because I found them interesting, none valuable. 'Rare' does not automatically mean 'valuable'.
I had a very good friend who passed away recently. He was an engineer's engineer, and spent most of his career with RCA, though the latter part with the Naval Research Laboratory.
He had a life-long interest in the technical side of sound recording/reproduction, and a thorough understanding of things, to the molecular level. I could go on and on about his professional achievements, but will cut to the chase.
Over the years he acquired a large body of acoustic reproduction equipment, Edison, Victor et al.
This was a substantial body of stuff, and not piece of it which wasn't in better operating condition than when it was new.
A minor part of the collection was, wait for it... 4000 Edison cylinders. When all of this was auctioned off after his death, his collection single-handedly saturated the market for Edison cylinders. What had been onesey-twosey $10 items, sank to $2.00-$3.00

There is so much pride in a job well done that it shines through.
I collect old trade manuals and books on many forgotten subjects.
I have wood shop books that walk a student through every step from leveling and squareing to roofing with shake shingles. Lath and plaster to grooving hard wood flooring by hand.
My grandfather on my mom's side was a union brick layer and he spent 60 years building his house. Never actually finished it before he passed and what grandma had done to sell it is so painfully obvious it is sickening.

Ace of Spades Pet Thread, September 7
A sneaky cat burglar has been tormenting a town by stealing dozens of clothes from unsuspecting homeowners. Taboo, a 12-year-old black and white moggie, has nicked gloves, socks, underpants and shoes from properties across Otley, West Yorkshire. Her owner, Sandra Danskin, 62, has now been forced to share regular pictures of the items on social media so residents can collect them.
'This morning I had four pairs of socks and a pair of underpants. She loves bringing back items of clothing like that, but also we've had a mop head and kitchen rolls. 'We even had half a dozen eggs once, still in their box, but all broken. . . She also said the moggie is quite fastidious and brings back a 'full set' of anything she managed to find. Sandra said: 'If she brings back a sock she will always go back and get the matching one so there's a pair.Courtesy Grateful Love is the only explanation I can think of.
Two women were out for a Saturday stroll. One had a Doberman and the other, a Chihuahua. As they walked down the street, the one with the Doberman said to her friend, "Let's go over to that bar for a drink." The lady with the Chihuahua said, "We can't go in there. We've got dogs with us." The one with the Doberman said, "Just watch, and do as I do." They walked over to the bar and the one with the Doberman put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk in. The bouncer at the door said, "Sorry, lady, no pets allowed." The woman with the Doberman said, "You don't understand.
This is my seeing-eye dog." The bouncer said, "A Doberman?" The woman said, "Yes, they're using them now. They're very good." The bouncer said, "OK, come on in." The lady with the Chihuahua thought that convincing him that a Chihuahua was a seeing-eye dog may be a bit more difficult, but thought, "What the heck," so she put on her dark glasses and started to walk in. Once again the bouncer said, "Sorry, lady, no pets allowed." The woman said, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog." The bouncer said, "A Chihuahua?" The woman with the Chihuahua stepped back and then said, "WHAT! A Chihuahua ? They gave me a freaking Chihuahua !!"

A gracious good evening, K.T., I don’t post a lot, but I’m Appycay when I do. Thank yous first: I really appreciate what you do to put this thread together - and the gardening thread (and others, but I don’t always keep track of who is doing what.) But thank you. And thank you to Ace, for providing a place for relief from everything else that’s going on. Knowing there are other people who see through the BS helps keep me sane, but sometimes the BS gets to be too much, and that’s when I really appreciate the pet thread. It’s really the only one that I will go back and read from beginning to end, even if I have missed it in real time. Y’all have kindly accepted and posted an earlier photo I sent of Bob the Cat, and of Insom. Sadly, Bob has shuffled off this mortal coil, but it took friends only two months to suck me into taking a kitten that had been dumped in their condo community. And he came with a name, Turd Ferguson, which the ladies at the vet clinic love getting to yell in the waiting room. The reason he was at the vet clinic was to get his manhood altered. I felt kind of bad about it but it needed to be done. This picture is of him in his post surgery stupor when I first brought him home. It’s the only time since I’ve had him that he’s not been a little asshole racing around the house. Well, when he’s not sleeping.So sorry to learn that you have lost Bob. Turd Ferguson is delightful.
Thelma and Louise. But mostly Louise Meet Miss Louise, of the Misses Thelma and Louise, from deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas. We rescued the teeny, tiny sisters from a likely drowning and brought them home; so young, they didn't really know how to eat so we spoon fed them til they decided to bury their little faces in kitten kibble. Three years and 17 pounds later, Miss Louise is unbothered, moisturized, happy , in her lane, focused (sort of) and flourishing. S.A wonderful story and a great photo! We look forward to seeing her sister.

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

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

Some have asked about The Merry Kitten, the song that Commander Star Sprinkles demands to be sung while she feasts on her dry and wet food, and also when scritches are given. It is an obscure bit of music, and may pre-date even Goethe and Schiller. It begins thusly:
Toll, toll, fröhliches Kätzchen
Die ganze Welt fürchtet sich davor, etwas zu tun, was gegen deinen Befehl ist.
Alle werden sich vor dir verneigen und niederknien, wenn sie wissen, was gut für sie ist.
Im Ernst, Leute, bekreuzigt sie nicht, es wird in Tränen enden.
Ihr Zorn und ihre Vorliebe für Gewalt übertreffen sogar die von Ayn Rand.
Sie wurden gewarnt, dieses Kätzchen ist Gangsta.
There are more stanzas, but Werner feels this captures the essence. Danke for this captivating thead.

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

Come to think of it, Sphynxes (the least attractive cat, to me) are very different from other, normal cats. A tall lean balding runner might well choose a Sphynx, if people are inclined to pick cats who look like them.

With the colder weather, the cats are rampaging. Even Fanny has been acting a bit crazy. At some point, we'll have to make adjustments for Mr Trouble to sleep inside. For now, he's still out at night and comes in to eat. Have not seen any of the visiting cats but I think they still come by for a snack.

I'm lean though not huge, and my hair is dark, but brown, not black. Thus Stirling resembles me only slightly. Dagny is sturdy and with a triple coat in grey-brown with black striping, so again, no resemblance.

My late red tabby part-Coon, Arizona, seemed to know three English words: his name, "No" (though he'd look at me when I said it, he'd usually go right on
with whatever I wanted him to stop doing), and "feed." Probably because I usually said at his mealtimes, "Time to *feed* a beast."
Most of the others have known their names when I said them. Marie-Antoinette recognized any part of her name, and even reacted once when someone on TV mentioned the famous French queen. And that was almost certainly not the name her first person had given her; she was rescued and dubbed M-A before Linda adopted her.

That's a great story, Wolfus. Our cat knows the word (food) obviously and our names, and if I say "Where's ____" (son's name?) he'll look around and if I remark, "Go find_____" he'll often go upstairs to find the young man.

Cats in general, I've found.
AZ was an SPCA special, adopted as a tiny kitten, who grew like a weed into a fourteen-pound shaggy mini-lion. He had some of the physical traits of a Coon, but the chances that a real Coon kitten would have been loose in the city (in 1983, when MCs were not well known here) were vanishingly small. But I still call him the part-Coon cat.

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

Very much like my Tom, found on the street attacking bystanders' pants cuffs. When I order him 'NO,' at least he waits until I turn my back to get back into his mischief. Headstrong, with marked intelligence for rebellion. Powerful and athletic. Bullies other cats.
He likes to chew certain kinds of plastic films, so I have to keep the trash up high out of his reach. He once emptied a whole wastebasket to get to a piece of cellophane at the bottom. 'NO' does not deter him a bit.

Behind the sofa or in a closet are typical. If he pees or craps somewhere else it is a message to you or someone. That means you have to figure out what is wrong and address it.
One of the reasons I like to have a tilled garden and wood chips is the cats will use that instead of the litterbox inside. If you want him to stick local when you decide he can go out, you might consider something like that.
(When I was a little kid I had a sandbox. Yep, the cat shared it with me. I had a good immune system I guess)

Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, Sept. 7
Edible Gardening/Putting Things By
Hello KT, A few years ago I got seeds to grow a black goji, I tried off and on for a few years to get one to go and I never got one to start. Last year I came across the seeds and I decided I was going to plant all the seeds that were left in one pot and if I got one great, if not at least I didn't have the seed packet anymore, and the seeds were old. Lo and behold ONE took. It is now over a year old and I finally got some fruit. I will say that the black goji fruit is much better than the regular. I think the regular goji is pretty astringent, but the black is definitely sweeter. I have attached a couple of pictures. It is a pretty thorny bugger as well. My regular goji doesn't have thorns. Wondering if anyone else has a black goji? WeeKreekFarmGirl

We cut as many 'limbs' (wands?) off as we could fit and though we'd be able to pickup the bare root. That wasn't going to happen the wands exceeded 3" diameter.
We spend Wednesday getting them out of the truck, shorting them (really just spreading them in the yard) and knocking off when we noted the temp was 106F.
Thursday we dug a long trench against a wire fence, used rooting hormone on the bottom 3-4" and planted about 70 of them in 20ft.
We only have 67 left...

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

The only way you can handle this plant without getting stung seems to be my loppers, dug in about a quarter of an inch. And then you take a spade to get to the roots.

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

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

I specified Canada Thistle. It's not a zero-tolerance(/brain) proposition.

I am done gardening until after the first frost. While pulling weeds from a coralbelle pot, I made the acquaintance of the hornets that made their nest in it. I was stung several times but managed to avoid the worst by pulling my blouse up over the ones stinging my torso, twisting the fabric to form a bag, and running inside to submerge it in the sink.
Sorry no boob pics, morons. My hands were full!
I think there's another nest in the ground near the rhubarb I need to break up and transplant. Not sure if I can do that in the spring.
My hands and arm aren't swollen today, but they still hurt.
I think the Canada thistle that we're getting is from seeds that a neighbor puts out for the birds. The local plant is the bullthistle, which grows over 6' but can be handled with pigskin gloves. The only way I can tell the difference is to grab hold.
I harvested three small heirloom tomatoes from my plants and then threw them onto the pyre. Only one zucchini. No sign of acorn squash, although it's a climber.
Fortunately, the neighbors are great gardeners and shared their surplus.

Tomatoes coming in so fast! - we eat tomatoes every day yet we're losing ground! Occasional zucchini. I'm working on gathering basil. We stripped the corn, froze whatever we could get off the ears, and cut down the stalks for the fall burn pile. Harvested 2 bags of fingerlings, over 11 and a half pounds - unfortunately found vole tunnels under them. Husband is talking about barn cats for next year.
I dug up and emptied out the thyme bed, which was full of spearmint roots. I tried starting thyme seeds indoors but the sprouts all just died - probably better to do it in spring anyway.
Under puttering, I finished weeding the asparagus bed, and we dumped the potato bag soil onto that to fill up the soil level. We power-washed the back of the house, the patio, and the cement driveway. Husband started a batch of "whipped red raspberry" liqueur - whip cream vodka and red raspberries. Will post recipe ratios here if asked.

My house is really old and I don't have A/C. I could really use it this week. I love AZ, I think it's so pretty but I like it better in the spring/fall/ winter. You guys usually all have A/C but that's so expensive. My brother lives in Paso and he won't turn it on unless it's over 100. He opens his windows at night like I do.

It grows in all 12 provinces, which is why I think it is more properly called "Canada Thistle". It says it's also known as "Creeping Thistle", but the articles I have read treat the former as it's official name.
Like I said their spines go through thick leather like nothing and the bigger bushes can have the same effect on chemically-rated poly gloves, which I use to pull the smaller ones.

But tomorrow I have to mow again, which is the second year in a row that I've mowed the lawn in September. Usually the lawn goes dormant in late June, early July, but we have gotten several nice soaker rainfalls, and not too many super hot days.
Although I am certain we will start seeing HOTTEST SUMMER EVER, YOU GUYS "news" reports soon. And yes, I know plenty of places were hotter than normal. But it's all or nothing with the panic-inducing media.

I watered them like it rains, soaking them, and let them dry completely. Sometimes I watered them only once a month tbh. They're going gangbusters. I keep the aloe vera in the back of the pot so it's in the shade most of the day because it will get sunburned. There's a tendril-type succulent that also likes shade, but I don't know what it's called.
The roseum, jade, zebra, and zudlaya like direct sun.

I had a jade plant in morning sun only and it's been so hot the leaves were sunburned so I moved it to all shad until it cools off.
The succulents I forget about do better. I'm sure a combination of the heatwave and me overwatering are the problem.

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

Yes, thistle plants are edible. Including artichokes and cardoon.
I have eaten wild thistle stems in early spring after peeling them (removing spines and strings). Not too bad. You could eat it if you were starving. Though the roots might have more starch.

The "rules-based international order" vs. free speech?
Matt Taibbi has been doing a study of the various disinformation "laboratories" at places like Stanford and the University of Washington, and has noted a curious thing about their "research". The government never provides "misinformation". All information provided by the government is correct and truthful. Only opponents of the government provide misinformation.
A novel aspect of our present political moment is that the more credentials a person has, the more likely he or she is to be a Democrat. This wasn’t true 50 years ago; on the contrary. But creeping credentialism has become a key feature of our culture. I think we are in the midst of a coup being carried out by people who are dumb, but have credentials, usually half-baked. These thoughts are prompted by Matt Taibbi’s current Racket News post. I am not sure whether that link will work if you are not a Racket News subscriber. If not, you might consider signing up. Meanwhile, I will try to do justice to the post with a few excerpts. Briefly, Taibbi has obtained documents in response to a FOIA request. His post focuses on an alleged “misinformation” expert named Michael Caulfield, of the University of Washington. Early in the covid fiasco, Caulfield wrote an email in which he ridiculed people who were trying to understand the actual lethality of the virus: Caulfield dismissed efforts to analyze data to figure out what was happening, on the ground that most people lack credentials. (Not that he himself had any relevant expertise, by the way.) Instead, the average person–pretty much everyone–should just figure out “who [sic] to trust.” And that would be the government.Check out the details at the link.
Of course, as to the covid epidemic, the oft-censored independent voices generally turned out to be right, and the government was wrong. Finally, I note that Caulfield described thinking for oneself as “a lousy epistemology.” As a one-time student of epistemology, I say with confidence that no philosopher has ever advanced such a theory. The idea that one should always believe the government and follow its dictates has a name, not in epistemology but in politics. It starts with an F. That is where today’s Democratic Party lives.Why are academia and government teaming up to teach people not to think?
We need to make viruses more dangerous to protect you from viruses. We need to suppress dissident scientists to preserve science. We need to suppress free speech to preserve democracy.
2. He is Bret Weinstein's brother and a free speech advocate
3. He named the Intellectual Dark Web. Remember them? In this excerpt, Weinstein helps explain the behavior of members of The Borg and manages to make one wonder how conspiratorial the "international rules-based order" is, without panicking. Sorry if my comments are disjointed, but the interview is kinda disjointed.
Trump is seen as a threat to "the rules-based international order" which is supposed to keep the world free of war and keep markets open. I don't think a lot of people think that this "international order" has been in terrific shape. Eric Weinstein is unsettled about this year's election, and his thoughts here should not be considered to be definitive. There are some alternative ideas in the comment thread, too. He doesn't think that Trump will be allowed to become president, or to function as president. He views Kamala Harris as the tail end of the group trying to hold the order together just a little longer. He thinks the State Department and other agencies have a responsibility to explain to voters that if they choose populist presidents, those populist presidents may risk international agreements. As if the Deep State would ever be this frank with voters! Check out the last segment starting at 13 minutes, on the media. There are people who disagree and have other points of view in the comment thread.“I purposely left it vague and I didn’t say the other part of it, which I now feel comfortable saying:
— Rothmus 🏴 (@Rothmus) September 3, 2024
I don’t know whether Donald Trump will be allowed to become president.”… pic.twitter.com/IcX3p3YCv2
Democrats abandoned the working poor, Republicans started listening to them. Also in the last segment, how the Democrats will likely neutralize Trump.

Eric has an ego, and I really think he can't quite see it.
Some of what he says about the people who shut him out of academia, it comes off as sour grapes. Like he knows he belongs, and they won't let him play their reindeer games.
So when it comes to Trump, and others he's rubbed shoulders with, he takes whatever is their worse qualities, and amplifies them to the point of considering them the whole of the person, the reason they can't be trusted, the way they're not as good as him.
And it causes dissonance in ways I don't think he even notices. It's a very human mistake, but a mistake nonetheless.
Posted by: BurtTC at September 07, 2024 11:33 AM (SzECQ)
Reconciling that era's dissonance:
1. G.W. Bush is a chimp who couldn't run a lemonade stand. Cheney runs everything.
2. G.W. Bush is the cynical mastermind of a sinister cabal operated on his behalf by Cheney to fake 9/11 so he could avenge his father's political legacy by conquering Iraq under the guise of nonexistent but well-marketed "weapons of mass destruction."

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

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

He didn't understand that the uniparty is rotten to the core and only wants what is best for the uniparty.
He wasn't sure who the good guys were and who the bad guys were.
He wasn't sure if he could do some things because of dishonest people telling him he couldn't.

I follow some serious Israeli and Egyptian accounts on X , and now whenever the names Blinken and Sullivan come up in that context, both sides regard them as fools and incompetents unworthy of serious attention, weak men who are totally out of their depth.
The last time Blinken went to Cairo, the Egyptian government refused to send anyone at all to greet him, a huge violation of protocol, and he was forced to call some embassy staffer to come pick him up. The US is not taken seriously in the region anymore.

I expect that they'll try to refuse to certify the election, and take other measures if Trump wins.
The problem is that the central government in the United States doesn't control all the cops, which is unusual, and the central government in the United States doesn't even control all the military, which I think is unique to the US.
If it an obvious steal, enforcing the steal is going to be a problem.
That's why they are trying to keep it close enough so that the steal has some level of plausibility.

This is for the most part, true, but as we see at the Trump rallies, Americans are hungry for leadership. Calm effective leaders could create a groundswell of peaceful civil disobedience that could be very effective.

Thanks for the link. There was an earlier Japanese study finding junk in the Moderna vaxx that should not have been there. Did not distinguish between poor manufacturing processes and nefarious intent.
UK, of all places, is leading on the research over problems from the adrenovirus carrier based Astra Zeneca vaxx. J&J used a similar approach but the one shot regimen may have precluded the severe problems after that the Astra Zeneca vaxx produced in some people. It had a two shot regimen plus then boosters.
Novavax which is not mRNA but an older vax design is available for Covid if you feel you must vaccinate against what has essentially become another 'cold' corona virus.

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

Dems made it mandatory and throughout the health care system. That doesn't help them. Someone like Gavin Newsom and Whitmer look even worse due to their extraneous douchebaggery by pissing on the little people with their actions.
Covid response was and is DJT's biggest achilles tendon but the evil mandatory actions by the Dems throughout the Biden and blue state actions made it impossible to use it against him without fragging themselves.

I remember Democrats taking credit for the vaccine after they stopped preventing its availability until after the election, claiming that the rollout that Trump put in place didn't exist and they had to start from scratch and chaos, claiming credit for the successes of the rollout even though the successes were due to Trump's preparations, ... , etc., ... Shall I go on?
Not that I'm pleased with the vaccine. But I can see how Trump, wanting to rescue Americans who were being held hostage to the virus, would do anything in his power to come up with a solution. An effective vaccine is a reasonable response, if such a thing exists.

The media is now an open propaganda wing of the DNC. Their main power is censorship that prevents any unapproved 'news' from being heard and amplified lest it upset the masses.
Like book publishers, the media conglomerates need to be disassembled back into localized parts instead of massive blobs. Contrary to economic theory, monopolies and oligopolies are almost never to the benefit of people. Concentrated economic or political power is always most concerned with keeping that power going--not the common weal.

Part of the time the Dems don't spend telling us that our insisting on the term "constitutional republic" is needless pedantry and means the "same thing" as "democracy", is spent like the New York Times recent article telling us how our *particular* Constitution gets in the way of "democracy".
Constitutions are particular. A "constitutional republic" is an elective form of government in support of a particular statement of the constitution of government. If a certain republic has a particular constitution that "restricts democracy", then you're basically arguing they are NOT "synonyms".

Which is why it was never a good argument--and a disingenuous one considering the source--that it's only ALL the social media companies suppressing your speech and they're private organizations.
Well, that just means that "free speech" is not the value we pretend it to be. Because a society that valued the free flow of ideas and healthy debate would not let all the fora be sold to a single individual or set of gate-keepers.
Sure you have "freedom of the press", but "right-wing pamphlets" cost x1000 to print on any press, because they feel that is "responsible".

Which again illustrates that the main thing Trump did was supply that thing which experts had started to say was a necessity to "opening the country back up". I thing that's still part of why Trump lauds how fast he was able to deliver this "vaccine" which was increasingly mentioned as a mandatory condition of opening back up.
And yeah, that does expose that if it takes at least 2-3 years to develop a vaccine. The Dems were willing to not open up for another 2-3 years.
I remember things. Especially rhetoric somebody wants me to take to heart. "Until we get a vaccine" was a thing.
Thus, Trump supplied that condition in record time because he knew the economy couldn't take 2-3 years more lockdown.

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

Agreed. But that allowed Trump to deliver the "condition of opening" that much sooner. In fact, that motivation makes it almost an asset that it was promoted as "The Vaccine", rather than "treatment for Covid" because the latter could have been argued to not actually be a vaccine and so states could "use their discretion" and continue lockdown. Especially if aided by a Trump-hating Congress (DC).

This is true. For this reason, winning the House AND the Senate is important.

I also see it as an attempt to pass the torch. With Pence, Trump saw somebody who could help integrate him into the base, perhaps. Some Midwest traditionalism to offset his urbanism and Democrat past.

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

Been remarking on that for months now.
Still takes a moment to stop and take it all in again.
Seems that the left does a lot more of outright saying they hate Trump than most people on the "right" do hating anybody in anything called "hatespeech".
I agree. As a Christian, I agree. Hate's bad. Now examine why you spend your time hating this one man so much.

A little. His Mom and Aunt were indoor cats until they kept clawing screens and escaping the house.
Trumpy is an outdoor cat but very social. Incredibly sweet.

If your vicinity has an emergency Vet, take him there. It will be pricy, but the peace of mind will be worth it. I imagine that your neighbors would compensate. Just do it.

idk, but I can see that with Covid, and Global Warming, and manufactured Fear and Loathing of Trump.
Eric seems to think there is (perhaps?) a lot of globalist leaders holding the world together with backroom bargaining, but we can't know about it ... too dangerous for the commoners to have such secret knowledge?
I guess that is possible, but most of their murderous actions seem mostly about control over us, and all the graft. Not just small time political graft, but all the companies and certain favorites collecting/extracting billions or trillions from our (and other) nations.

Thanks.
For a bunch of reasons, that's not really an option. We're in the boonies.
He's been doing fine, just resting and he wasn't screaming when he was outside. And he's a young thing, about a year old. I just petted him. No blood. He let me touch the leg gently...no reaction.
I'll do my best with him tonight, keep him comfortable. They'll be home tomorrow. I'll try to play nurse tonight....nurse with beer...but still nurse.

I think that as Science research has suffered market forces for funding, what used to be about Science literacy has become Science fidelity.
Think of all the science funding we are doing right now that will never even equal the benefit of a toaster. "Pure Science" says out front that it is a "nice-to-have".
I think a pragmatic adjustment away from an ideology of Science is called for.

I think however, that it is because of the ideology of Science-first that through market forces drives the call to fidelity to a certain, approved Science™.
Clearly, there is no clear limit on the field of inquiry. We uncover more questions every time we "solve" one.
However, there are limited funds to inquire.
Triage must be done. But myself and Science™ probably have different ideas on what and where to cut.

This.
Eric Weinstein discussed it not too long ago, but we've been stagnant for 50 years, with actual science pushed out of Science because it's disruptive (you know, science).
And because of that we've had no real advancements except for making computers and communications devices smaller and faster. The really neat part is realizing that all the advancements have been made in systems to spy on us. Oh well, probably nothing.
But there has been no real advancement or new tech in 50+ years, only refinement.
Take the screens out of a home and - setting aside interior design, furniture, and paint choices - see if can figure out how it's not a home from the '70s.

And a whole lot of bogus and non-repeatable "Science" (so, in essence not Science) in addition.
Unfortunately, it seems everywhere that 80-90% of everything is shit. And maybe not even the institution of Science can escape that Human gravity.
But market products are testable technology. The amount of EC battery explosions is enough to cause people to consider whether it's worth the risk individually or as a whole.
If the additives to make any paint color cause the paint to chip and peel in a couple of months to a year, that paint will be off the market in about double the time.
Thus the market assesses whether or not this is really an improvement in living and whether it's a cute idea that needs some development.

The case that I know could even be more bizarre. Apparently in mid-2019 there were a bunch of these guys discussing what would be needed to "update" our immunization processes. They considered that killed virus, the vaccine that may have actually worked in the past, was "archaic".
They considered that their needed to be some change to force us into "the future" of mRNA vaccines.
Again this is Summer 2019. There is recorded video you can still find online about this.
It may well be that Covid-19 was THE THING that would thrust us forward to "modern" vaccines. And was the cost of this.

I think so.
They told us at the beginning that Bill Gates had warned us.
But what was Bill Gates' TED talk about?
"The next virus that kills 10 million people or more".
And they were referring to Gates before they had the first million--and perhaps even half million official deaths.
It's curious though that Gates lumped his "immunization" efforts under "population control" in one of his speeches.

Like some entrapment scheme to show that the "right" is "funded by Russia". And even though it doesn't show that much, knowing that the Demedia is going to take what they have and run with it to the hills.
They couched their language in the 51+ expert statement about the Hunter Biden laptop, which a number of the signers have used to their "defense" since. See, it didn't say that the laptop WAS a Russian op, just that it had the earmarks of Russian disinformation (while actually being true).
But we know how the Demedia was able through this weasel-wording to allow Biden to claim absolutely that the laptop was a KNOWN RUSSIAN OP and Trump was "spreading disinformation".

The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
Hi MH Some good news to report. My MRI came back negative, so essentially I'm cancer-free for now............. Please give everyone my thanks for all their prayers and kind words. It helped get me this far, I'm convinced.
Fantastic news J.J. Thank you for sharing with the Prayer Revival.
2. Even the trolls need some understanding.
3. For Heaven's sake, no jumping on the Naugahyde divan.
4. No. Running. With. Sharp. Objects.
5. Have a great weekend!
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 6/29 – bluebell passed along a request from grammie winger, who asked for prayers for her husband, Rev, who is having open heart surgery on 7/8 to take care of his aortic aneurysm. Recovery time is expected to be 6-8 weeks.
8/17 Update – Rev is improving day by day. A home health nurse comes 3 days a week, and he has PT twice a week. 7/13 – Chris C, a loyal lurker (and prayer) requests prayers for his bride, Melanie, who was just diagnosed with breast cancer. She needs support as she is exhausted from caring for Chris and his 23 days in the hospital for a triple bypass that “went south”.
8/17 Update – Chris sent his thanks for all the prayers. Melanie’s surgery was successful, and the doctor got it all. Lymph sentinel was negative. 7/22 – Sponge’s First Lady is home and resting comfortably. The surgery went well and the doctor was pleased. They did remove some lymph nodes that looked suspect, but did not have to remove much mass around the cancer. They will have the results of the tests on the nodes next week. Thank you for the continued prayers as she has only just begun this whole thing.
8/8 Update – One of the lymph nodes had cancer cells in it. She’ll start chemo in a couple of weeks, but for now it will be once a week for 12 weeks, then different meds once every 2 weeks for 4 weeks, then radiation for 5 weeks. They send thanks to all for your support.
8/12 Update – Sponge’s First Lady starts chemo this week, earlier than expected. She’s also nervous that her boss won’t be happy that she can’t work Thursdays anymore, due to the chemo schedule. 8/6 - LMD Outer Banker requested prayers for a son who is undergoing an experimental treatment for chronic Lyme disease, which he has been battling for 25 years. He will be in a clinic abroad for about a month.
8/31 Update – The son is on his way home. After one month of treatment, the tests appear to show he is free of Lyme and its coinfections. For the first time in 15 years, he no longer has to take antibiotics. Now the challenge is for his immune system to repair itself to be able to ward off future problems. The clinic indicates that will take about 6 months of healthy eating and supplements. Thank you for your prayers; LMD Outer Banker and family are crying in joy. 8/10 – Farmer Bob provided an update. He sent his thanks for the prayers and encouragement. It’s been a year, and he is fit, fun, fashionable, fearless, and faithful man again, vs. the pit of despair and despondency. 8/10 – From about That Time requested prayers for a nephew, daughter, and the entire family in general. The nephew, a 45 year old, was camping with the family, and felt ill. He went to the porch to rest and died. The daughter could use prayers because she just lost her (early) second pregnancy. A boatload of prayers would be greatly appreciated.
8/17 Update – From about That Time sent thanks to all for the prayers. 8/10 – Tonypete asked for prayers for his HS buddy Fred, who passed away on 8/9 after suffering from ALS for many years. 8/10 – S requested prayers for his friend Jim, who lost his brother and needs strength to assist in this painful transition. 8/11 – RickZ asked for prayers for an internet friend, Pandora, who died of cancer, and for her beloved husband. Pandora was very worried about him, how hard it will be for him when she died. 8/17 – Pug Mahon posted that he was worried about his wife. She was on antibiotics for acute Lyme disease, and was scheduled for an MRI on Sunday morning. They are not sure what is going on.
8/21 Update – Pug’s wife didn’t do well with the first antibiotic, but she is responding better to the second one. Also, she is working half-days. It is pretty clearly Lyme disease. 8/17 – Oddbob asked for prayers for the family of M, his daughter’s friend, who passed away last week. 8/17 – Dave in Fla asked for prayers. He is looking for guidance related to his job. He is about 3 years from retirement, and returned to work from a vacation to find that he was removed from his position without explanation, and after demonstrated success, due to office politics. He still has a job, and can keep working in FL, but he is also considering an offer from the company’s San Diego location. It’d be a burden to be bi-coastal for 3 years until retirement, but he knows and trusts the people at that location. 8/17 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her son, who is still looking for a job in his major, which was horticulture. He has been apparently been offered a part time dealing with writing things for the internet, but that hasn’t started yet. Also, prayers for all the Morons and ‘ettes looking for jobs, including Bulgar. 8/17 – Polliwog the ‘Ette posted that Sister, C, found out that she has ovarian cancer and is scheduled for surgery at the end of August. Thankfully, it seems contained to just that area, but life will be complicated for the entire extended family for a bit. 8/19 – screaming in digital requested prayers for J, who fell of her porch and hit her head on concrete. J is a recent widow, and has been a friend for nearly 40 years. 8/23 – Grumpy and Recalcitrant requested continued prayers for J.J. Sefton. J.J. is feeing “not too bad, all things considered”. His post-radiation/chemo MRI is scheduled for the first week of Sept, and this is when he will find out where things are at, concerning his cancer. Please keep praying for complete remission, recovery, and a return to good health. 8/24 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for a friend, P, whose daughter was getting married in the RCC church on 8/24. P is disaffected from the RCC, believes in God, but not in Jesus. P’s wife is involved in the RCC church, so this is a sticking point with her. Also, prayers are requested for blessings for the daughter and son-in-law, and that everyone gets back and forth safely, and that the people at the wedding feel the presence of God and have a lovely time. 8/24 – tbodie Lurker asked for prayers for a 2nd ablation surgery, scheduled for 9/30. Hoping this one sticks. 8/31 – Tonypete requested prayers for his wife’s friend Barb. She is suffering from some type of mental disturbance and is a mess. 8/31 – Huerfano asked for prayers for a nephew, FHC, who sustained a lower back injury in a car accident a couple of months ago. He is running out of treatment options, short of surgery, which no one wants. 8/31 – Jewells45 sent an update. She started on Cyremza 2 weeks ago, and the only side effects are really bad headaches and fatigue. She is praying this works. 8/31 Zibby requested prayers for her brother-in-law, who was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer and given 2 months to live. The family is in shock and Zibby’s husband is devastated. The BIL is the oldest sibling and beloved by everyone. Thank you for your prayers. 8/31 – AnnaS1’s husband died in July, and her heart is shattered. She needs some prayers. If anyone else has lost a spouse, how did you get through it? 8/31 – Morgan, loyal lurker, just got a new job and is very hopeful. He is requesting prayers that this will work out, that he can prove to be a valuable employee, and that God will bless the firm and its clients. 9/2 – Anderson Cooper’s giant anus has a praise update for the prayer list. His stage 4 esophageal cancer (lymph nodes and lungs secondary) is gone after 6 months of integrated therapy. The new scan is clean. Praise God. Thank you Horde. 9/3 – Ben Had posted that JT is sounding really good and sends his thanks for the prayers and concern. He will be in the rehab facility for a while longer. For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

Fantastic news J.J. Thank you for sharing with the Prayer Revival
Halelujah, thine the glory!
Halelujah, Amen!
Halelujah, thine the glory!
Revive us again!

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

"Swollen prostate" does not always mean prostate cancer, and treatments have advanced greatly in this century. You should ask about a process called trans-urethral resection (turp).

Prayers up even for all "our" politicians who have apparently decided that the 10% graft and power are far more desirable than honor or integrity, may they see the error of their ways and repent!
And lastly, prayers up for former (and hopefully future) President Trump, keep him safe from harm and may the many forces of evil arrayed against him and our country be made ineffective and come to naught!

My father is an otherwise highly intelligent man, but he has outsourced all his political thought to MSNBC, and the other day yet again gave me the brain-dead claptrap about gun control and I had to remind him that he went to high school when you could mail order an M1 Carbine for $10 without any restrictions.

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

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

Depending on the school, you may not be contributing a cent to athletics unless you are a donor. That's been the rule in Michigan for a while - using tuition and state aid to pay for athletics is a no-no, so they raise funds by selling the broadcast rights.
Besides, what's the alternative - treating the game like a press conference and having every channel that wants to show up? How would that even work?
I mean it sucks, but it's better than the State Broadcaster providing official coverage.

Well, cancer-free "for now." Hence maintenance chemo and continual monitoring for the rest of my life. The nature of glioblastoma is that it is a very nasty and persistent cancer. That said, considering the near total removal of the mass and the pathology indicating that the usual treatment protocol with radiation and chemo per the oncologists would be very effective means I could go on for many years and likely die of something completely unrelated to this. I'm shooting to be in that group.

Very much so, but it is easier to use the secular expression than the true one. The first step is clarifying that the problem cannot be solved merely by prohibiting sharp pointy things.
By focusing on mental health, we can also highlight the limitations of the current system, which includes the ineffectiveness of drug treatments.
At the same time, we must speak more openly of faith, re-inserting it into the public square and embracing the language of moral judgement. We need to remind people hell exists and its doing huge business at the moment.

But they already do in many cases. For instance, today's game in my area will be broadcasted by both an OTA network and ESPN. But many games are *only* on the cable nets - usually the more important ones.
You may recall the SEC/Big 10/etc. nets are fairly recent developments. It's just a novel way to squeeze another nickel out of the fans, boosters, and taxpayers who build their colleges. Feh.

I'm old enough to remember when having a game on television at all was a big deal. I was the marching band and I'd call my grandparents and tell them to watch for me when they showed shots of the band and more than once got a call on Sunday night from them saying they had friends over and everyone saw me.
I do recall local broadcasts and the university public TV station would run a taped version of the game late Saturday night.

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

I endorse keep busy, but for me it was more a process of taking one thing at a time and doing it. So much was in upheaval when my husband died (year ago April) that I am only this month finishing our last married-filing-jointly for 2023; after closing out his business, doing those taxes and settling those accounts, I just filed an extension on our own taxes because I was overwhelmed from doing all the business things (also on extension--he died tax week after a long debilitating illness).
You WILL be busy all on your own, but take things as you can,
Yes, accept help. I am glad for relatives who helped me though so much.
I was very lucky, in that my husband's death was not unexpected. Also lucky in that I could truly feel thankful he was not in pain any more, not just the illness but the horrible rage and frustration of a man used to being competent and in control.

There is a lot of emerging evidence that nicotine, of all things, helps deal with COVID/CoVax, as it appears the spike proteins bind to a nicotine receptor site.
I've seen a few doctors that are now recommending a 3 mg nicotine patch (half of a small one or cut a big one in 6 pieces) for long covid/covax symptoms.

In the early days of covid the people in France noticed some nicotine/covid sour relationship and emptied the shelves of every pharmacy in the country of nicotine products. I wonder how many people in the USA saw that story?

There are rumors that if U-M gets spanked by Texas today, the school will settle with the NCAA next week. In the bizarre calculus of U-M leadership, they'd rather keep the scandal dripping out and hope for a winning season than just clear it out of the way as all other schools would do. It's utterly insane from a crisis management perspective.
I've read the NCAA report on the "cheesburger" case and it is scathing. The scouting one will be much, much worse.

It's a response to the liberal Catholic whining that people who want to enforce traditional morality are "hung up on sex."
Um, no. We think about lots of things and while sex has its place, it is not the primary activity with which we identify ourselves.
The deviants are the one who define themselves by their deviancy, and it's fascinating how they think that if they can just get a bunch of people in Roman collars to agree with them, God will withhold judgement on this matter.
But the core question is why? Why are you willing to put your very soul in eternal torment just so you can bust a nut on another dude? Don't get me wrong, I get that some sex is hotter than others, but banging your way through bathhouse after bathhouse has to get a bit boring after a while.
Maybe find another hobby that isn't a mortal sin is all I'm saying.

It's beyond the point where UM can negotiate anything as the official notice of allegations was delivered to them ten days ago.
They could've attempted a negotiated settlement after the draft NOA was received a month or so ago, but chose not to.
They can still offer to self-impose penalties, but the NCAA doesn't have to accept it if the proposed self-penalties are not sufficient given the serious nature of the infractions.
The matter is going to the NCAA's Committee On Infractions no matter what now.

That's not true. Throughout the process the path to a negotiated settlement remains open. The previous infraction was negotiated after the NOA was delivered, and in many cases the NOA facilitates negotiation because it spells out the seriousness of the offense.
The NCAA prefers this path because it takes less time and is not subject to appeal. Michigan technically has 90 days to respond and in the previous violation used that full time before reaching a settlement, though the case had to be broken up into separate elements due to Harbaugh's non-cooperation.
Based on the length of that case, I expect the cheating NOA to be several hundred pages long and contain information confirming that the football program was essentially unsupervised, completely beyond institutional control. The earlier report contains hints of this, remarking that there was a culture of non-compliance.
It will not end well for them.

Neither Hersh Goldberg-Polin nor Aysenur Egan Eygi would be dead today it weren’t the USA’s failed policies concerning the continued siege on Gaza, Netanyahu, and the IDF’s intransigence. If Biden had remained steadfast to American Law, his own policies concerning military aid, his “Redlines” and the world outcry, his ability to use American law to leverage a ceasefire, these beautiful young people would be alive today. Blinken’s comments do not meet the significance of this event. He does not address how the USA will keep other Americans safe there no matter what the circumstances may be. Eygi was protesting an illegal settlement. This has gone too far. It’s too much and it has to be addressed in good faith, finally. #TooFarTooMuchGaza.

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

My husband died a little over a year ago. Grief is a tough journey. It seems insurmountable at first but believe me it does get better little by little. I leaned heavily on my son and sister during the first few months. Family is important. Try to stay busy. I was lucky in that regard as I decided to move from Ohio to Tennessee to be close to son and grandchildren and the process kept me from dwelling on the grief too much. Of course I had the blessing of Horde prayers and good wishes which I know helped me get through those first couple of weeks.

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

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

My husband died a little over a year ago. Grief is a tough journey. It seems insurmountable at first but believe me it does get better little by little. I leaned heavily on my son and sister during the first few months. Family is important. Try to stay busy. I was lucky in that regard as I decided to move from Ohio to Tennessee to be close to son and grandchildren and the process kept me from dwelling on the grief too much. Of course I had the blessing of Horde prayers and good wishes which I know helped me get through those first couple of weeks.

Did it maybe help to move away from the shared home? I have a grieving friend who will not move, and who starts every morning having coffee where they had coffee, keeps the deceased's clothes where they were (even on the drying rack), and so much more. I believe this is keeping the wounds open.

If they want to increase female viewership, then the football uniform is reduced to a jockstrap or swimsuit. Just spray the player's numbers on the chest and back with something that soap removes, if you need them.

Grief is very individual. My wife of 40 years died 9/23/20. I donated all her nice clothing before Christmas that year. I'm sure some thrift store shoppers appreciated the Coach bags and beautiful jackets and dresses. The house to me, does not depress me. We thrived and loved being here for 32 years and I miss her just as much when I travel anywhere else. We were so close and changing locale would not help.

I don't believe Texas is reintroducing dangerous critters but here in DFW, they appear to be reintroducing themselves.
We are more or less in a metropolitan part of the city, and yet-
Twice I've seen very healthy and well-fed coyotes wandering the neighborhood at night.
i've seen two different families of very healthy and well-fed bobcats.
And I think at the nature preserve, I saw a mountain lion stalking through the brush. In any event, it was a very large and very sleek cat.
Right now, it's just vanishing dogs and cats but soon kids may be added to the menu. My sis told me about that issue when she lived in CA.
Aaaanyway, we terrible colonizers are living on their land, so it's okay and our fault.

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

Michigan's football program faces a Level I violation for loss of institutional control. This destroyed SMU.
It is also a repeat offender, which increases the severity of each offense. If you read the prior report it is utterly damning. The football program was on an island, and compliance staff had no idea what they were doing.

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

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

So, I quit the brew, and the rash went away. I still miss coffee, but I most definitely do not miss itching constantly. Win a few, lose a few. I comfort myself with the thought that in heaven I'll have coffee again - and cigarettes.

144 Prayers up for those that have asked us for them;
Prayers up for those that know they need them but have not asked us for them;
Prayers up for those that need them but don’t know it yet; and
Prayers up for those who pray alone, asking for help in silence, and whose prayers are known but to God!
Prayers up even for all "our" politicians who have apparently decided that the 10% graft and power are far more desirable than honor or integrity, may they see the error of their ways and repent!
And lastly, prayers up for former (and hopefully future) President Trump, keep him safe from harm and may the many forces of evil arrayed against him and our country be made ineffective and come to naught!

Daily Tech News 7 September 2024
Top Story
- College grades have become a charade. It's time to abolish them. (MSN)
The colleges? Sounds good to me.If everyone outside hard-core engineering, math or pre-med courses can easily get an A, the whole system loses meaning. It fails to make distinctions between different levels of achievement or to motivate students to work hard on their academic pursuits. All the while, it allows students to pretend–to themselves and to others–that they are performing exceptionally well. Worse, this system creates perverse incentives. To name but one, it actively punishes those who take risks by enrolling in truly challenging courses.
All true, if somewhat less daring than I had hoped.
The proposal is that every course be reduced to pass/fail. Which is better than the current situation, but doesn't actually fix the problem.
I like my plan better.
Tech News
- Threads is full of exactly the sort of tiresome idiots you mute on Twitter. (Werd)
Full of them.
Thank you for your service, Facebook. You truly took one for the team.
- Cisco has warned that there is a backdoor admin account in its own license managing tool. (Bleeping Computer)
The tool Cisco provides to manage your software licenses for the hardware you bought from Cisco also allows anyone nearby to break into your network. If you're dumb enough to leave the license manager open to the internet, you're toast.
(And there are lots of people who are exactly that dumb. They post on Threads.)
- Godot - an open source library for game developers - desperately hoped that Unity wouldn't commit suicide. (Game Developer)
As we covered at the time, Unity did indeed commit suicide, implementing a new payment structure that could easily cost more than 100% of a game's revenue.
Godot is one of Unity's main competitors, but it is a less polished library built by a smaller team, so taking on all those developers fleeing Unity was going to be a struggle, and they knew it.
Makes me like the Godot team all the more.
(Also, it's officially pronounced however you want.)
- Lenovo's latest Thinkpad Carbon X1 (Gen 13) is almost a good laptop. (Liliputing)
Well, it is a good laptop (though not a cheap one). Intel's latest Lunar Lake CPU, up to 32GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD, dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a 14" 2880x1800 OLED display. Those screens are great.
And it has the Four Essential Keys. Not in my preferred arrangement, but they are all there.
And it weighs less than 1kg.
What's not to like?
Two things: First, pricing starts at $1999. This is not in the same ZIP code as cheap.
Second, Lunar Lake. Apart from the fact that you cannot upgrade the RAM, ever, it is not all that fast. We haven't seen the numbers yet, but with just four P cores and four E cores, and no hyper-threading, even if its single-core performance is extraordinary it is unlikely to outperform a four year old Ryzen 5800U for multi-threaded tasks.
And I already have a four year old Ryzen 5800U. Well, the very slightly updated 7730U, but it's the same silicon.
- Google is now facing another antitrust case, this time in the online advertising market. (The Verge)
This is the gold standard of "let's you and him fight".
- An AI company's misconfigured server exposed 5TB of patient mental health records. (HackRead)
This includes full patient identification - names, addresses, drivers licenses, insurance information; medical records including health conditions, family histories, and traumatic experiences; test results and prescription medications; and audio and video recordings of therapy sessions.
All sitting on a server connected directly to the internet without a password.
This is the worst security fuckup I have ever seen. Whether the data was stolen is unknown - it was discovered by a security researcher - and will not be known unless or until the data starts circulating on the Dark Web.
- Sony's $100 million woke flop Concord is now deceased, having failed to reach 1000 players in the entire world in the ten days since release.
Meanwhile Valve's competing game Deadlock, which you cannot buy, has had zero advertising, and has not even been announced yet, has over 170,000 players. (Tweaktown)
All you need to do is not actively hate your customers.

Don’t worry, they’ve learned nothing and announced “Fairgame$”, where you play as a black thief to a hip hop soundtrack. (Paging Ryan Long, they’re doing the “wokes and racists believe the same thing” thing again).
The marketing is that you only steal from a bad billionaire with the initials “E.M.”, so it’s ok. Also “fight the power and please buy all our microtransactions”. I’ve already seen it called “AOC Simulator”.

After five years the big car continues to amaze me: A highway run yields 30 mpg or a bit more even with A/C on, and I see about 22 during a commuting week with little highway time. And this is on regular 87 w/ some E0 mixed in.

Wow. I went to look at the article, clicked through to another article discussing the debacle, and see that they even managed to prominently use a rainbow in marketing.

That's either on purpose or just another example of horrible incompetence by people who don't realize that they're advertising "This game is super gay" or "This game intends to dance naked in front of your children"
It's Sony, and I remember reading that the game tells you the characters pronouns, so I assume it's on purpose.

Erebus, that was happening to me about 7 years back. Wake up between 1 and 2 and zoom. Every night. Getting only around 4 hours sleep.
Then one night, again asking God to let me get back to sleep it was like He told me, TeeJ, there's people out there the need prayer. And then brought to mind all those "missing" children.
Prayer would put me back to sleep after a while.

Sounds like a perfect example. Maybe we'll see it, and you, in a future issue of one of the classic car magazines! How far away is it? Would you have to have it shipped -- or could you fly out and drive it home?
I'm an auto transmission guy, so if I were to look for a "classic," I'd be limited to cars and trucks with an autobox. But as Ben Had pointed out a week or two ago, there are early '80s-'90s Ford and Chevy trucks in good shape out there.

After using the widow's 12" Dewalt at her place I got myself one. Very handy. Have an 8" limb come down, I grab it instead of horsing around the 16" Stihl gas meter.
Not as fast of course but a lot lighter for this skinny, old man.
Used it in combo with the Stihl to clean up 5 big lower limbs I had a guy with a bucket truck drop off a 50' pin oak in my yard this spring.

The vast overwhelming number of games are derivative, woke and crap, which is why gaming is dying a similar death to movie and television.
The zenith for gaming was around 2012 when Minecraft was released, it's been a steady decline for the last 4 years.

There have been some standout games like Stray, Disco Elysium, Hollow Knight, Rain or Uncharted 4 but in the main, most games have been shit and getting progressively shittier, especially since no one want to just make a straight game, no no, they need to monetize every f**king aspect of a game now, so they rape with the obscene cost of the game in the front door and then they f**k you up the a** with micro transactions through the back door.
Which is why I now almost exclusively retro game.

On Apollo they had 3 large parachutes, and had ocean re-entry. They could hit pretty hard, but they didn't ever need thrusters to effect a safe landing.

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

All other BS aside, women would be a good choice for astronauts. They tend to be less massive than men, which means less $$$ to boost them into space. As long as they have the smarts to do the job, more power to them.

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

Thanks for the explanation! I expect splitting is a mechanism for releasing the seeds, which is why the plant bears fruit, after all. What's optimal for the survival of the plant in the wild is not necessarily optimal for those who cultivate the plant for its fruit.

the apple chunks were not a success, they shrank. The next batch I am going to try cutting them up and simmering them for a little on the stove before canning. I do that when I can plums and that keeps the plums from shrinking - or rather they shrink before I can them.
also my wife's Asian pear is loaded with fruit, even after I went out and thinned out about a third of the fruit a couple of months ago.
My garden did not do well this year, I didn't care for it well, but some parts did very well.

The area affected seems tiny...a thin string of fires. The best immediate countermeasure would be for the targeted troops to to scatter randomly, so the drone could not hit all of them in one pass. Also, one cool sniper with a shotgun could knock that sucker down.

From the KOMO News we site:
--------
Pollak said he and Eygi retreated from the hill and the clashes subdued. He then watched as two soldiers standing on the roof of a nearby home trained a gun in the group’s direction and shot at them. He saw the flares leave the nozzle of the gun when the shots rang out. He said Eygi was about 10 or 15 meters (yards) behind him when the shots were fired.
-----
"The nozzle of the gun."
Well anyway, video from the scene shows full sunlight. I have never seen a muzzle flash in full sunlight. Ever. And military small arms have flash hiders to minimize muzzle flash. And he just happened to be directly looking at them when they fired. OK, he could embellish his account, and the IDF could still be to blame, but still...

The one part of the Uke war that I still find fascinating is the evolution of combat techniques through drones. I think it’s given a huge boost to defense in general, and has ruined the concept of the main battle tank as an offensive weapon. Simple drones carrying ATGM’s are devastating to tanks.

All those drones rely on radio or sat communications... broad band jamming? will kill that BUT will also kill your comms.
One of the interesting premises in a lot of Sci Fi War type series, is based on the idea that the higher the technology available, the lower the tech will be for the front line soldier, because eventually countermeasures will trump really high tech.

Heh!
I did a trade with a friend. He wanted a project car I had, and offered me the El Camino and a '49 Monarch (Canadian Mercury) sedan in trade. I said, "what the Hell, why not? You know, I'm going to do what I have to do to make that El Camino roadworthy, and then sell it, right?" Him, "That's what I was going to do." OK,, handshake.

Offense has always been easier than defense.
Tanks are more defense than offense: they're "unkillable" artillery. You can push them forward as offensive weapons if you have full control otherwise.
Drones are pure offense: they're ultra-cheap cruise missiles. Using drones at short (UKR vs RUS) distances on home ground makes them look like defense, but they can't hold ground or anything. All they can do is blow shit up, once.
Defense only works when it's overwhelmingly more advanced (iron dome vs. unguided sewer-pipe rockets), or if it's offense pretending to be defense (nuclear M.A.D.), or if the offense is prevented from working effectively by bureaucratic ROE (USA vs. iron-age muslims, USA vs. southern border invaders).
Tanks, as a concept, were destined to fail eventually.

They were very effective, in WWI, at breaking through the trench lines, when there existed no weapons specifically designed to counter them. Sure, an artillery shell could kill one, but hitting a moving target with fixed artillery is problematic.
When both sides have effective anti-tank weapons, the tank battle becomes a stalemate.

I have never owned a Corvair. If I were to have one, it would be a second-generation convertible or hardtop. Not a pickup. I have owned VW Transporters, but never the pickup version.
The '49 Monarch is a much bigger, more impressive car than the '49 Ford. Everything about them is stouter. This one has a huge dent on the front of it. I am told he got the car from a rancher who used it to chase cattle on his ranch...came barreling over a hill, and smacked square into a steer. Supposedly the flathead V8 will still run.

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

Trig and calc were tough classes in high school; the deflection math alone was difficult but very important when shooting from moving cars*. Lots of stress for these scholars. Understandable how they react. Systemic math racism and all that.
* One of our high school trig problems was the position of a fixed place machine gun and the deflection that occurred when traversing the weapon in an arc of say 100 degrees. The bullets didn't go straight, so lots of mathematical formulaic curves. Hard math. Stressful. I sympathize with these poor scholars.

Tomato skins get thick b/c of uneven watering during the fruiting phase of growth. the skin thickens to keep the fruit viable (keep moisture in).
Some growers say tomatos should be picked when they begin to color; then allow to ripen the rest of the way inside, in light. Other growers say pick 'em and eat 'em.

Well, your Olds runs. The Monarch doesn't, but it might be able to. If I get a round tuit. Olds had a then brand-new hi-compression overhead valve V8. The Monarch has the bigger Flathead Ford engine with 255 cubic inches displacement. So less engine, less transmission. Mercs and Monarchs were low, and inspired the customizers to chop tops and lower them even more. So there's that.

Thanks! The magazine disconnect was a requirement of the Euro police/military that commissioned the Hi-power, right? And higher mag capacity is a modern thing, too, right? As is the underside frame rail. So perhaps the improved safety is the only real difference that was not imposed by buyer constraints?
What I am trying to get at here, is did J.M. Browning make any major improvements in the automatic pistol action between the 1911 and the Hi-Power? Not so much what latter-day designers have done to the legacy platforms.

It was supposed to be this evening. Wonder if they have undocked the little wart yet? Wait! Rooters says that it is undocked. ... "as Starliner autonomously departed the laboratory at 6:04 p.m. ET (2204 GMT) for a 6 hour journey toward Earth."
Reading on Reuters says it's coming back at 11:17PM (0317 GMT Saturday) followed by parachute assisted touchdown at White Sands Space Harbor, New Mexico.
..."bringing total cost overruns on the Starliner program just above $1.6 BILLION since 2016." Hey, a guy's gotta eat.

But we can’t allow what’s happened in Gaza to happen. The Palestinian people have every right to life and liberty themselves. We need to continue, I think, to put the leverage on to make sure we move towards a two-state solution. I think we’re at a critical point right now. We need the Netanyahu government to start moving in that direction.

The suicide beach catapult is puzzling. Is it a death wish? Were Jacklinks jerky involved? Perhaps someone was messin' with Sasquatch? I have seen the films of this, and apparently some youngsters feel that frustrating and angering an eight-foot tall man-beast is a recipe for chill'n and illli'n, but Werner would remind them that this is not gangsta, however one might wish it so.

I attend Christian getaways with my son and his church mostly every year in Utah. Slot canyons can be extremely dangerous. Even if you're not getting rained on where you are, there might be a t-storm upstream that would have a slot canyon from dry to 10 feet of rushing water in a matter of minutes.

Sergio Mendes, the Brazilian-born pianist, composer and arranger who brought bossa nova music to a global audience in the 1960s through his ensemble, Brasil ’66, and remained a force in popular music for more than six decades, died on Thursday in Los Angeles. He was 83.
His family said in a statement that his death, in a hospital, was caused by long Covid.

Francis Gruber is well known in Germany as the older brother of the martyr Hans Gruber, who flew too close to the sun and Bruce Willis and decorated the parking lot of the Nakatomi Plaza. For all of us did he yield his life, that Americans can debate endlessly whether Die Hard was a Christmas movie. We pause in silent regard, and utter the respectful invocation Yippie Ky Yah. We leave the rest of the quote aside, partially for tender minds that might be corrupted, and also because the "th" is really difficult for German people. Ja, it is like trying to get us to say "squirrel," or "Jazz.' Kinski says that these are fnords that afflict the Deutsch, but to him I say stop reading Robert Anton Wilson, young stripling. One must be stern at times.

If there is a shattered Statue of Liberty in the background, then once again has The Planet of the Apes revealed the nature of the Human plight. They filmed that based on the work of a Frenchman, which would ordinarily be a strike against its favor, but Chuck Heston overcame this. The chick that played Nova was cool.

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

BREAKING: After receiving a massive wave of public pressure, California Governor Gavin Newsom has just VETOED AB 1840, the bill approved by the state legislature to give up to $150,000 to illegal immigrants to buy homes
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
In his veto, Newsom said, "Given the finite funding available for CalHFA programs, expanding program eligibility must be carefully considered within the broader context of the annual state budget to ensure we manage our resources effectively. For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill."
In other words, he's saying California is flat BROKE

Fairbanks school district is hiring Planned Barrenhood to teach kids about gay sex. For some odd reason, regular health teachers are unable to explain sex to teenagers. Either they aren't having sex themselves, or they are so perverted already they don't know where to draw the line when explaining it.
So PP is sending videos demonstrating how gays do foreplay. I assume eventually they will send video of the act itself. It is still a felony in Alaska to provide minors with pron. Do you suppose someone will arrest the school board?

I'm amused that our lower orders - especially the criminals - go in so big for tattoos. If the cops required unique tattoos on each criminal to facilitate their identification by their victims, the criminals and the ACLU would howl in protest.

Some dumbass deposited a check he wrote to himself into his own account then withdrew all the money. Then posted it to social media as a "bank glitch" that enables you to get free money.
Then a bunch of other dumbasses did it. And posted it to social media. Now they all have accounts in the red, some to the tune of $10k+. And possible fraud charges.

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

Most individuals don't wish to exercise, but who would not like to move their body?
While diets and appetite-suppressing medication can effectively scale back power intake, they often make people really feel cranky and miserable.
Muscles that retailer much less lactic acid can function higher during
intensive exercise because pure buffers like carnosine assist muscles stores much less lactic acid.
The non-essential amino acid beta-alanine helps to delay fatigue by
rising muscle carnosine levels. Raises the amount of carnosine in muscles,
which may assist in easing weariness and ache.
It features by decreasing inflammation, boosting blood supply

Dick Cheney Is Voting for Kamala Harris
I'm sure the cokehead ne'er-do-well half-tard George Bush will come toddling along shortly.
How many times can this slug-like hag announce the same thing and get fresh media mentions every time?
Ex-Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said Friday her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, will cast his ballot this year in favor of Vice President Harris. "Dick Cheney will be voting for Kamala Harris," Cheney told The Atlantic's Mark Leibovich at the Texas Tribune Festival. Cheney added her father "believes, and he's said publicly, that there's never been an individual in our country who is as grave a threat to our democracy as Donald Trump is." Cheney's comments follow her announcement earlier this week that she is also going to vote for Harris over former President Trump, despite being a lifelong conservative.
🚨 NEW: Warmonger Dick Cheney will be voting for Kamala Harris in November, his daughter Liz says
— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) September 6, 2024
That’s a HELL of an endorsement for President Trump if you ask me 🤣
The deep state is TERRIFIED 🔥 pic.twitter.com/lfGMI7Lefo
The GOPe has always hated their constituency. I welcome the Cheney family's newly discovered candor. Treat all GOPe as you would the Cheneys. https://t.co/GP1n2cEe0k
— Disinformation Expert Lizzy (@StarChamberMaid) September 6, 2024
J.D. Vance recently pointed out that Liz Cheney keeps getting richer and fatter as America gets weaker and poorer. I added the "fatter," but I feel it was implied.
How does this happen? I dunno, coincidence? That must be it.
Echoing the New York Times' David French, Cheney stated, "As a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this, and because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I am voting for Kamala Harris." 'This is a person whose entire career has been about sending other people's children off to fight and die for her military conflicts.' This endorsement comes two years after Republican primary voters in Wyoming overwhelmingly rejected Cheney and just days after scores of nominally Republican staffers who served under President George W. Bush, the late Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), and failed presidential candidate Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah) similarly threw in their lots with Harris. It also represents a major about-face for Cheney, who in November 2020 suggested that Harris sounded "just like Karl Marx." A month earlier, Cheney wrote, "Kamala Harris is a radical liberal who wants to raise your taxes, take away your guns and your health insurance, explode the size of our federal government and give it control over every aspect of our lives. She would recreate America in the image of what we've seen on the streets of Portland and Seattle. We won't give her the chance." Cheney told Fox News in August 2020:Meanwhile: A Hispanic California Democrat, onetime the Majority Leader in the State Senate, says "I've had enough" of the Democrat Party, and is now a Republican.... Vance responded, "A very good thing that I could say about the next presidency of Donald Trump is that he's going to make sure that people like Liz Cheney are laughed out of the Oval Office instead of rewarded." "This is a person whose entire career has been about sending other people's children off to fight and die for her military conflicts and her ridiculous ideas that somehow, we were going to turn Afghanistan -- a country that doesn't even have running water in a lot of places -- into a thriving liberal democracy," said Vance. "And for that, Liz Cheney was willing to kill thousands of your children." "I think it's the best thing in the world that she's supporting Kamala Harris," continued Trump's running mate. "Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney make very, very interesting partners. They get rich when America's sons and daughters go off to die. They get rich when America loses wars instead of winning wars. And they get rich when America gets weaker in the world."
It's very clear, [Kamala Harris] is a radical liberal. She's somebody that has said we ought to spend $32 trillion on Medicare for all. If you look at her record as well in California, she did in fact essentially ban gun sales with executive action and she threatened during the primaries to do the same thing if she's elected.
The gas stove thing is no small matter. The Democrat Party -- or the Democrat-Media-GOPe Regime -- is the party that will not stop f***ing with citizens, ever, on any matter, whether fundamental or trivial. It's a party of Big Government Bullies who love tormenting anyone it has under their thumb, because the thrill of making other people bend to their will is the only pleasure they take in this fallen world. Are you enjoying something? Do you cling bitterly to your outdoors sports, your guns, your religion, and your traditional morality? Well then, the Democrat Party is here to tell you you're doing it all wrong and mandate -- I mean, force you via "tough regulations and financial incentives" -- to change every aspect of your life to match that of gay heiress nepo baby Anderson Cooper. The Old Ruling class had a motto: Reign, not rule. They wanted the power, but they knew if they f***ed with the citizenry too much -- if they ruled over them -- they would revolt. So their ethos was to reign... lightly. To not piss off the peons. This New Ruling class very definitely wants to Rule, not reign. They WANT you to know they're above you. They WANT you to feel the weight of their boots on your neck. They WANT you to know they have very specific ways in which they want you to live, and if you fail to live their way, they will hound you to the ends of the earth.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (TND) -- Former California Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero, R- District 24, announced on Wednesday she would ditch the Democratic Party and change her affiliation to the GOP. Romero, who served as a state lawmaker for 12 years, made the announcement during a press conference outside the California State Capitol in Sacramento. She explained the decision was due to a feeling of misalignment with the Democratic Party. "In this Capitol behind me, I served as both Senate Democratic Caucus chair and the Senate Majority Leader," she said. "Today, I say goodbye, adios, I've had enough." "I am now another near-lifelong Democrat who is joining the growing number of people, including key groups like Latinos, who are leaving the Democratic Party," she added. "This is not the Democratic Party I once championed, I do not recognize it anymore." The former state senator explained she planned to vote for former President Donald Trump in the November election. Romero also noted she was not able to back several contemporary Democratic policies, such as those targeting emissions and climate
change.
"I for example think we are going to solve nothing by banning gas stoves," she said. "As a Latina, I will not give up my gas stove because you can not toast a tortilla on an electric range."
"That is just bad news, another reason to leave the Democratic Party," Romero added. Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones, R-San Diego, welcomed Sen. Romero to the GOP in a statement. "We are honored to have Gloria on our side as we fight to fix California," he wrote. "For anyone else who is tired of witnessing the Democrat supermajority run this state into the ground, we have a seat at our table for you, too." Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson made waves in February for making a similar decision to flip his party affiliation from blue to red. The move, he said, prompted "distraught" phone calls from some Democrats.

Trump tore the GOPe's masks off.
He revealed them as the amoral loathsome Deep State cockroaches that hate the sunlight of public scrutiny. He revealed the GOPe failure theatre on such matters as cutting the budget, reining in the bureaucracy, shutting the border, and claiming peace while putting our troops in harms way in places that were no longer important to the US (if they ever were).

And also if you're on the payroll of the big expansionist country in the world under the table, well, it must really get hard to go through all that my-country-tis-of-thee baloney that you no longer believe in.

“Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

What Trump revealed is that GOPe didn't want to fight and be called names. It was easier to slowly manage the decline rather than build something.
"He'll be a dictator" is really just code for: he's going to against us what we constructed for the peons.
Second, Trump puts to lie McNamara "managing experts" was needed to run the gov't. When in reality, it's just common sense.

The ranges just suck. Temp control is shit, response is shit, BTU is shit. Even the new inductive ones, but the glass top IR ones are the worst.
The ovens are too harsh and dry. Ovens need to have the moisture that gas produces. Electric is good for some stuff, and especially good in bakeries where the oven is large to moderate the harshness and the bread or cake produce the moisture -- but people think because bakers use electric that it is good for home cooking where food is right under/over the harsh heating element and the air is much dryer.
But most people don't know. They burn one salad in a gas oven, and think the problem is the gas and not the fact that you don't cook salad in ovens.

My personal guess is the Bushes and Cheneys personal relationships with Saudi royals of which a faction supported Bin Ladin and his attack on the US is what is at issue. Fox was constrained by the same ties as bin Talal, a now disgraced Saudi prince, was a big investor in News Corp the same issue.
Lenin was a blood thirsty asshole but he was not far wrong that capitalists would sell the very rope used to hang them to their enemies. In the same way, the US political class became subverted by the endless streams of money returning from abroad due to the US massive trade deficits going back to post war WWII. Our political class was paid to keep the tap running for the global corporations and finance types and that destroyed our domestic industries. Treaties and uneven trade agreements did the rest of it.

That gives the left way too much credit. Our deep state is more like:

He started and almost cried out. A pang of pain had shot through his body. O'Brien had pushed the lever of the dial up to thirty-five.
'That was stupid, Winston, stupid!' he said. 'You should know better than to say a thing like that.'
He pulled the lever back and continued:
'Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power

California is broke and getting broker by the minute. They are a smaller version of the US federal government and one of the few states that does not require a balanced budget and allows borrowing by the state government (aside from bonds). The whole money for illegals to buy houses was to be from a government fund that is already out of money due to previous spending. It was not refilled by this current legislature.
The Dems do failure theater too and this was an example of the legislature pandering. Newsome, though, had to veto it if he wanted any play on the national scene politically in 2028 or possibly even in a Senate race in CA.

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

I voted Perot in both efforts, because FUCK THOSE GUYS, and I was in The Corps, I don't know if you have heard, and in 2000, I HATED Bush the Jr. He was a wishy washy bitch, his speech was that of a child, and stunted and failed, I can't believe he got a masters without the ability to communicate, But I'm just a guy who trained hundreds of Marines in various live influencing decisions.
I was NOT going to vote in 2000, and what tipped me, was Cheney, I admit it. Cheney had the bering of a leader, unlike stumbbum Bush, I knew he favored war, that's a known factor, but so did I. I still favor war, KILL THE FUCKERS, I didn't realize that the Cheney clan favored War in "eh, lets fight." NOT A WINNING STRATEGY.
I didn't vote in 2004, in 2008, the dem's let the mask slip, and I actually canvassed against obama, if you dig through the archives, I said, "If indiana turns obama because of NWI Gary, they stole Indiana, which turned out to be true, but unnecessary.

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

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

There is supposed to be calculation around endorsements. You do it in an effort to show power within the political process, to make it look like you have influence.
Cheney endorsing Cruz's opponent does none of that. It's like she doesn't care anymore about being politically viable in any vein and is just lashing out. She should choose another Democrat to endorse. One with a chance to win.
But that's impossible. She's the good kind of Republican who only operates by policy preferences, not emotion.

Odd that FBI went after the mother (or both parents?) that complained about the "tranny" raping her daughter, after he had raped another girl before. The school covered it up ... twice I guess.
So if trannies "only" rape other kids, parents must accept it per the FBI. But murdering four by a gay and/or trans kid ... that is just a little over the line even for the FBI (for now).
So we got THAT going for us.

Parents are responsible for their kids. This goes back to The Code of Hammurabi. If it was something out of character or out of the blue, I could agree, but the kid was interviewed in past for making terroristic threats.
I want every parent thinking hard before they do something like this. They know their kid better than anyone (as they should) and they are responsible.

The shooter was also a victim. The kids mom has a history with drugs, dad told the cops he is bullied constantly. I feel bad for this child.
Nope. Plenty of kids are brought up in bad environments and don't kill people. 14 is old enough to know between right and wrong
What kind of help was Pops getting for him? Did a counselor suggest buying him a weapon as a form of therapy?
Too many believe empathy is incompatible with supporting consequences for actions. It is possible to acknowledge he was handed the shit end of the stick without excusing his action.
More importantly, this attack had nothing to do with being bullied. This was a brand new school for this kid. He had only attended the first time, for part of a day only, the day before he chose to shoot up the school full of STRANGERS.
Nowadays, if you're the victim, it's nonstop bullying. You get it in school, you get in on the bus, and you get it online. And if you stand up for yourself, you go to jail - there's no explaining your way out of it.

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

This case is complicated. Apparently, they were having sex and he (it?) decided for a second helping using the other hole (I forget, which one is the "bonus hole?" No, don't tell me.)

I didn't defend it yesterday.
I continue to question whether there was a particular law that was broken (some states have started passing such), and I continue to question the wisdom of directing the state to criminally punish stupidity, where there is no clear legal standard and culpability.
On the abortion parallel, I agree that there should be clear criminal standards and culpability (based on traditional notions of intent and negligence) for both.
Not surprisingly, only one set of liberties is under attack from both the left and the right.

It's a weird admission that they have these deeply racist, authoritarian impulses that they then try to project on the rest of the world.
It does help explain the whole, "Whatever my opponents say they want, it's fascism," thing, though. "Oh, you want to lessen the power of government and increase the divide between the public and private spheres of activity? What are you a fascist?"

I tend to agree, and this sort of criminal charge is very selective, and by that I mean only white parents of lunatic school shooters. You will never see the negligent mother of a 14 black gangbanger carjacker and murderer charged like this.

Michigan recently started to charge parents in such a crime, but when a non white teen committed a crime, and parents watched to see if that rule was applied to non white parents, the new rule did not apply. Not surprising.

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

Posted by: I'm Gumby Damn It! at September 06, 2024 04:40 PM (z3xHf)
His mother, Marcee, 43, has a lengthy rap sheet with drugs, DUI, property damage, and domestic violence arrests. Lauren Vickers, who lived next-door to the Grays in Jefferson, Georgia, said there were “problems immediately” when the Grays and their three children moved into the well-manicured neighborhood 60 miles east of Atlanta in 2022.
“There were nights where the mom would lock him and his sister out the house. And they would be banging on the back door, just screaming like ‘Mom! mom! mom!’ and crying. It was absolutely devastating,” she said.
Vickers said that sometimes the youngest child would come to her back yard asking for food. “No clean clothes, I’m not exaggerating.” “It was constant abuse,” she said. “It’s very, very sad.”
Gray’s maternal grandfather told CNN Thursday night that he was “just a good kid” who “lived in an environment that was hostile.”

In what world would the kid learn the difference between right and wrong, and honestly, by the time he is 14, he was going to do something to relieve the agony.
Fucking FBI never intervened. They knew, but they didn't care.

Focus your mind and your time on something that will get you out of your situation, like cultivating a friend group. Find something you're good at and do that as a mental escape from your fucked up parents. Bear down, get through it, and get away - like people with shitty home lives used to do. What you don't do is shoot up your school.

"He was just a good kid, but he lived in an environment that was hostile," Charles Polhamus, Colt Gray's grandfather, told CNN. "His dad beat up on him, I mean, I’m not talking about physical, but screaming and hollering, and he did the same thing to my daughter."
Personally, when I'm beating up on a family member, I always buy them an assault-style rifle and train them in its use.

Biden-Harris White House Is Shocked by Hamas's Brutal Execution of Hostages, and Begins to Suspect the Unthinkable -- Maybe Hamas is a Bad Actor That Actually Doesn't Want Peace at All!
Check out the Big Brains of our Elites!
🚨🚨🚨
— Richard Goldberg (@rich_goldberg) September 5, 2024
Read this now and understand what is actually going on.
Israel has agreed to every single concession it’s been asked to make. Only to see Hamas move the goalposts.
Finally(!) this White House wonders if it’s been playing Hamas’s game all along. https://t.co/O4ZoaW2b0R
Biden and his top advisers were shocked after Hamas killed six hostages, among them U.S. citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, and have started to rethink the way forward in the negotiations over the deal. At the same time, Hamas' new demand to increase the number of Palestinian prisoners released as part of the deal raised even more concerns and questions among U.S. negotiators about whether an agreement is possible, U.S. officials said.Wow! These Elites! No wonder they're in charge! They have powers of cognition that are so far above those of sub-peons like us! Strom comments:
"We still think the deal is the only way to save the lives of the hostages and stop the war. But the executions not only increased our sense of urgency but also called into question Hamas' willingness to do a deal of any kind," a U.S. official said.
We are led by fools. No doubt Bibi Netanyahu has been telling the Biden administration these things since 10/7, and they merely saw him as a right-wing warmonger who must be wrong. Surely, if only Israel made concessions to and friends with Hamas we could all come to some sort of agreement. Idiots. Yet here we are, 11 months after the most brutal day in Israeli history, and the US government is slowly realizing that Hamas are not the good guy in all this.Of course, this isn't really the Democrat Party being "fooled:" It's more that the Democrat Party, determined to change the electorate, has imported tens of millions of Newcomers from the Arab-Muslim world, and those Newcomers are pro-terrorist, so the Democrat Party is feeling out an exciting "Third Way" between the extremes of being pro-terrorism or, like the Republican fuddy-duddy racist old-thinkers, being anti-terrorist. They want to be "centrists" on terrorism. Now, that's a shift in the Biden-Harris White House's thinking. But you know whose thinking hasn't changed? The Harris-Walz ticket's. Because Tim Walz, governor of a state in which explicitly-pro-terrorist illegal alien visa-scammer Ilhan "Omar" Nur is a Representative, once again expresses his desire to support Hamas and keep them in power as a check on the cruelty of Israel.
SICKENING: Tampon Tim Walz says pro-Hamas radicals "are speaking out for all the right reasons" and calls to "put the leverage" on Israel to ensure Hamas terrorists live to see another day. pic.twitter.com/WYDZiX84PL
— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) September 6, 2024
[Walz]: Well, I think first and foremost what we saw on October 7th was a horrific act of violence against the people of Israel. They have certainly, and the vice president said it, I've said it, have the right to defend themselves and the United States will always stand by that, but we can't allow what's happened in Gaza to happen. The Palestinian people have every right to life and liberty themselves. We need to continue, I think to put the leverage on to make sure we move towards a two state solution. I think we're at a critical point right now. We need the Netanyahu government to start moving in that direction. But I think those folks who are speaking out loudly in Michigan are speaking out for all the right reasons. It's a humanitarian crisis. It can't stand the way it is. And we need to find a way that people can live together in this and we've said it and continue to say it, getting a ceasefire with the return of the hostages and then moving towards a sustainable two state solution is the only way forward.Douglas Murray just knocked down Piers Morgan for making the same claim-- that the key to "peace" is constantly mau-mauing Israel into being more "open" to peace and being willing to "compromise." With terrorist rapist and hostage-takers who shoot their hostages in the back of their heads rather than allow them to be liberated by rescuers. Douglas Murray points out that only a fraction of wars are settled by a "peace process." The majority are settled by, get this, one side winning in such a comprehensive way that the losing side is forced to come to terms and give up its own demands -- such as a "From the River to the Sea" eradication of Israel and ethnic cleansing of all Jews from the region. And note: That is best-case scenario for the Jews of Israel. Ethnic cleansing is their best hope.

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

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

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

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

The only appropriate answer to Hamas taking American hostages, let alone killing them, is to make war on Hamas.
A sane administration would have given Hamas 24 hours to turn over every American hostage unharmed and if that was not met begun level bombing Gaza with a notice this would only stop when those hostages were returned unharmed.

Correct and overlooked. That was a "peace" rave at the edge of Gaza. I'll bet at least 35% of the ravers weren't Jews. Hamas just mowed in there like an insane bloodlusting shark in a feeding frenzy. There's no way they could tell Jew from Muslim or anything else.

Note that his attitude is one shared by Dawkins (now), but which was clearly rejected, repeatedly, by C S Lewis.

The left views iran as the ideal country and they want to change the US to become like iran.
A totalitarian movement in complete control of all aspects of life from total control of all media by the government, no freedom of speech for and absolutely no guns except for the
police/military.
iran is a utopia for the liberals.

Um...they're interfering in our election--according to the Demedia press, themselves!
Somehow, that's not an attack on "our Democracy"™
They say, that Iran might have tried to take out a viable Presidential candidate, but no "Attack on America" no "Our elections were attacked!" and they're still perhaps "our ally"?

The entire Western world, and Muslims, would have poured money into the place to help them build something to be proud of. Gaza could've been like Beirut before the Lebanese Civil War; "Paris of the Middle East."
Instead they've spent decades developing a debilitating revanchism that only the French & Germans could love and put themselves into misery heaped upon misery due to that all-consuming goal.
The International left enables them at every opportunity. All because they share a hatred of Jews/Capitalism down to their bones and pass it down like DNA generation after generation.
This conflict, like WWII, only really ends with total defeat and surrender. Otherwise it will simply go on and on until somebody finally breaks out the nukes and surrender won't be a choice.

Mr. Neutra’s parents had bonded with the family of Mr. Goldberg-Polin in recent months, in part because their sons were close in age.
“We were holding on to a vision that they’re possibly together in captivity, that we’d see them come home,” said Mr. Neutra’s mother, Orna. “This is heartbreaking. And it shouldn’t have happened.

Trump himself admitted three days before election night that he was going to lose. I think he knew deep down that he was never going to win and all he was doing was making hillary actually campaign.
When he did win it took him completely by surprise. He had no plans for a cabinet and no people lined up and vetted for cabinet positions. I doubt that will happen again.

And I dont know how he models these things, but unless he's doing his own polling, how can you really make any educated guesses when you know most of these polls are just a psyop? Garbage in, garbage out. Do you really think CNN or the NY Times polling wants to publish an accurate state of the race, or one that fits its narrative?
Polling can show some trends, but it's now more art than science. Something like Gallup 30 years ago was probably a good yardstick, those days are gone.

America First Legal Sues Every County in Arizona to Force Them, as the Law Requires, to Remove All Illegal Aliens from the Voter Rolls
Judge Juan Merchan decided to postpone former President Trump's sentencing in New York v. Trump until after the November presidential election. Trump's sentencing date is now scheduled for Nov. 26. The original date was set for Sept. 18. "The public's confidence in the integrity of our judicial system demands a sentencing hearing that is entirely focused on the verdict of the jury and the weighing of aggravating and mitigating factors free from distraction or distortion," Merchan said in a letter Friday.I can't wait 'til Alvin Bragg, Merchan, "Tish" James, and the judge who oversaw the "business crimes" prosecution learn that political prosecutions GO BOTH WAYS. They need to be investigated by the DOJ for conspiracy to Defraud the People of the US of an election (that's the same charge the DOJ slaps Trump and J6 defendants with), and need to go to jail when -- not if -- they lie about contacts with Biden's DOJ and strategists from the Democrat Party. I will not be one of the Soft Sisters whining that Trump must be "above it all" and "restore norms." I will be one of the people demanding that those who attempted to rig an election through lawfare experience the tender mercies of lawfare themselves. On to the headline story: America First Legal is suing every single county in Arizona to force them, very much against their will, to take proven illegal aliens off the voter rolls. The Democrat Party, which is all about "protecting our precious democracy," is determined to keep illegal aliens on the rolls. Not that they'd vote or anything! Heaven forfend! They just want their names on the voter roll as... I don't know, like an "Honorary Voter" status, maybe? Via Twitchy:
See the thread for screencaps of relevant caselaw and documents. I'll be omitting all that here.
America First Legal
@America1stLegal /1🚨NEW LAWSUIT TO STOP ILLEGAL ALIEN VOTING We are suing ALL 15 counties in Arizona for refusing to remove illegals from their voter rolls. This follows our lawsuit against Maricopa. Every county in AZ is flagrantly defying its duty under state law to expunge illegal voters...
Here's a fun wrinkle: by removing the case to federal court, Maricopa gave America First Legal the right to sue every county in the state to compel the action to remove illegal aliens from the voter rolls.
/2 On July 17, we sent letters on behalf of our clients demanding that election officials in all 15 AZ counties fulfill their legal obligations to prevent aliens from voting and warning them that if they failed to do so, we would pursue legal action on behalf of our clients.
/3 On August 6, 2024, we sued the Maricopa County Recorder on behalf of Strong Communities Foundation of Arizona and Yvonne Cahill, a registered voter and naturalized citizen, for brazenly refusing to comply with the law. /4 The claims in the lawsuit were based on Arizona state laws that require county recorders to do monthly voter list maintenance to remove foreign citizens from voter rolls. /5 Nevertheless, Maricopa County removed the case to federal court, arguing that the case also involved federal laws that, in the county's view, should be interpreted in federal court. Maricopa County is notorious for employing procedural maneuvers to delay election cases and keep them from being heard on the merits.
America First Legal's announcement is here. Congress needs to pass -- or they think they need to pass -- a continuing budget resolution to prevent a shut-down. Mike Johnson has agreed, but he's adding the SAVE Act, which demands voter identification in federal elections, as part of the bill. Chuck Schumer keeps saying that Johnson can't do that, but won't say why such an obviously-necessary provision is so hateful to the Voter Fraud Left. Oops, I guess I gave it away. Spoiler alert.
/6 However, Maricopa County's attempts here have backfired. Arizona state court rules only allow for one county to be sued in a case like this, whereas federal court rules allow a plaintiff to sue more than one county at a time. /7 Now that our clients are in federal court, we added the other 14 counties in Arizona to the lawsuit to ensure that every county in the state is compelled to fulfill its statutory duties. /8 Two federal statutes that have been in effect for nearly thirty years, 8 U.S.C. sec. 1373(c) and 8 U.S.C. sec. 1644, allow State and local officials to obtain information about the citizenship or immigration status of any individual for any lawful purpose. /9 Yet, counties in Arizona have decided to ignore these tools and threaten the integrity of the 2024 Presidential election by failing to remove foreign nationals from their voter rolls. We are taking action.
Weaselly Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and his refusal to say why he opposes a House bill that would include a requirement of proof of citizenship to register to vote, which is bipartisan.When asked whether he would support it -- and having it pointed out that five Democrat House members voted for the SAVE Act back in July -- Schumer began spamming out crap about "poison pills."
Look, Speaker Johnson should learn from the past, you can only keep the government fund[ed] in a bipartisan way. You can't have a group of Republicans, particularly led by right-wing, hard-nosed Republicans who don't even represent the whole Republican Party, put together a proposal with all kinds of poison pill legislation in it and then say, this is what has to pass. That bill may not even pass the House. I think there are some Republicans who might vote against it.Mike Miller of RedState points out:
Schumer again said that he would block any such bill, but continues to not say why:
Schumer claims "if you're not a citizen, you can't vote." But you can vote as a non-citizen, Chuck -- many do. They're not allowed to, but they do. Because you've allowed them to. Rick Scott declares that if the government shuts down, it's because Chuck Schumer wants illegal aliens to continue illegally voting. You'll never, ever guess which Republican is allying himself with Chuck Schumer to block the SAVE Act from being added to the funding bill. I'll give you a hint: He has no chin, he's paid by China, and sometimes he glitches publicly for 20 or more second straight.
It certainly has no chance in the Senate or no chance of being signed by the president. So, Speaker Johnson, look at what's going on, you can't pass a bill unless we come together on a bipartisan agreement, that's what each -- has happened each time in the past. You've tried to appease your right wing, it's failed, and you've had to come to us and negotiate. We're ready to negotiate a bipartisan deal. Whitworth continued to push: "Some Democrats do support it, though. And what about it would not pass through the Senate?" Again, Chuck refused to answer, further twisting himself into a an illogical pretzel, circling back to the "poison pills" excuse.
While there is bipartisan agreement that there will likely need to be a continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government funded past Sept. 30, House conservatives and a Democrat-led Senate are headed for a showdown amid efforts on both sides regarding barring noncitizens from voting. And Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's name is being reported as being against adding the stricter voting requirement measure to the funding bill. "McConnell staffers have urged conservatives in the Senate and the House to keep the precedent of passing clean short-term-funding bills and argued that using a potential shutdown to try to score political points is dangerous before the election, sources said," according to Axios. "Their involvement in this latest push shows he's not taking a back seat in high-level negotiations even though he plans to step down as leader after the election," the outlet added.

CNN's Isabel Rosales reports to Anderson Cooper about the Winder, Ga. school mass shooter's alleged Discord posts in 2023 expressing a desire to kill and frustrations over transgender issues. A transcript of Colt Grey's father's interview with law enforcement last year reveals that his son was allegedly bullied for being queer at school.

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

That is backwards. Cats have a reputation of being amazing mamas. They will go into burning buildings to save their babies. They will starve to feed their babies. They make sure their babies are in eyesight and earshot. If a mama cat hears a kitten crying, they RUN to that kitten. They will move their babies around to ensure they are safe.

2) Note the (utterly routine) delusional idiocy of McConnell's statement - "to score political points". Preventing massive illicit voting is, you see, a "political point". Not a foundational, definitional component of any system warranting respect or confidence. More importantly, recall that not that long ago it was unimaginable a major party would take the absurd stance the Dems are on all election integrity issues - now, it's literally a political nothingburger. The electorate is that far gone.
3) It appears AZ's degradation extends beyond the poisonous, stupid McCain machine and its fanatics. Which tracks with what we see with much of the GOP electorate.
4) So what's the streak now for school shootings involving "trans" mental illness? The last 6 in a row, or something? It's not just Nashville. And was the Uvalde thing ever shown to have this element? Or at least the crazy person latching onto it (flavor of the month).

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

Whatever the motives of the GOPe was in passing it, it still may have an effect on illegals voting. The reason is that like when DeSantis recently led the FL. legislature to require hospitals to ask Medicaid patients about their citizenship so that the state can compile figures of how many there were, there was a remarkable drop in emergency room visits trying to use Medicaid.
From Politico
"Data provided to POLITICO by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services show $148.4 million in state and federal Medicaid dollars went toward emergency coverage for immigrants in Florida in the year before the state’s new immigration law took effect. As of May 3, $67 million has gone toward emergency coverage this year. "

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

Will the Venezuelan gangs get in on the ballot harvesting game?
But Johnson will likely crater, and 5-10M illegal votes will be magically "harvested" without having a valid signature or address ... seems all too likely.

I saw a tidbit about the number of legal weed licenses that the state was auctioning. Something like no more than 3 (or 4) per county. Some areas had relatively few applications, others more.
There was over 3000 applications for weed dispensaries for the ~400 licenses.
My random piece of nonsense for the thread.

I noticed when I was a kid, looking at the continental U.S. map, that the states in the east were quite small compard to those out west like AZ, CO, and WY. Even then I realized, "Well, the early settlers didn't know just how much country they had. They could have made bigger states."
The same, I guess, is true of counties. Though CO has 64 too, but WY has only 23.

That would be the worst possible outcome, even worse than a Harris "victory" given how much that would radicalize so many. If Trump wins, which seems likely now, he needs a USAG willing to try and imprison the likes of Garland, Weismann, Comey, Brennan, Mayorkas, Swalwell, Cheney, etc. Otherwise, the lesson learned will be they can get away with raw totalitarianism, which as of now seems to be the case. These people need to die horrible, lonely deaths behind bars.

They could outlaw ballot harvesting, mail in voting, make states clean up their voter rolls of non-citizens, etc etc and be on pretty strong Constitutional grounds.
Or we can just let lower Democrat judges do everything they can to make honest elections impossible.

We screwed the pooch when the country allowed
- electronic voting
(hard to eliminate now because of access for "disabled" and would require intelligent systems design but the Left will sue sue sue to make it mandatory. This is a big one because the ***registration*** files are electronic and that tells them what votes to manufacture, mailing address,.... This is the heart of their cheat machine.)
- mail-in and early voting.
(This eliminates any oversight or chain of custody)
- Centralized vote counting.
(See above. We put voting in hands of inner city fraud machines. This is another big problem.)
- Gov paid vote watchers.
(How the hell did this get allowed? They are the last people we can trust. They hire their party to screw conservatives.)
- Dirty voter roles.
(A secondary problem. Fix the above items please. With ID and in person voting, dead people have a harder time voting.)
(It is 3:30 AM pre-coffee, so I may have missed something.)

There was massive voter fraud and unconstitutional violations that led to the Biden presidency. Grow a fucking sack of balls and admit it, because they’re doing it again. That’s because you weak ass, bent over, on the take, drooling dumb ass cowards let them do it and you don’t have the stones to stop them. It’s about time we had a senate that looked after the will of the people and our constitution, not their wallets and cocktail party friends.
What buffoonish, ass pirating, stoopid, on-the-take, shitbags can’t figure out that illegal aliens should not vote, mail in ballots with no signature or ID requirements are open to fraud, voter rolls needs to be maintained and votes that don’t comply with the rules, shouldn’t count?

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

Shortens time to allow replenishment of the fake registrations. That being said, I think the AZ move is too late depending on judicial interpretation of the MVRA.

Sadly, this is mostly all these efforts really are. With a few rare exceptions (FL and OH) the GOP has no real interest in stopping vote fraud. Why? We can only speculate. So these lawsuits aren't filed after elections, when people aren't paying attention. They're filed in the runup to elections, when people are paying attention and are more likely to get excited and open their wallets.

Part of the reason the Dems runs continuing voter registration programs is to replace any floating non existent voter pools so they can execute ballot fraud. These same critters are also used in voter harvesting and petition/initiatives drives. Sometimes even for GOP candidate which can cause issues as a certain GOP candidate for MI governor race found out. He paid them and they double crossed him by giving him invalid signatures.

Nicole Shanahan mentioned part of the problem they had with getting *on* ballots was some fake-ass commie (my words) registration orgs doing exactly that, so they had to go back and get even more signatures to make sure they had enough valid ones.

And I think Johnson might have a bit more stones this time, because he got burned on the last deal, and it appears after the election the House will be more Freedom Caucus/MAGA and he will get the same deal McCarthy got.
Dem polling is cratering - and the NRC is no longer controlled by the Turtle - it is controlled by Trump. I expect democrat election day tricks. I also expect a bigger response to those tricks. The dems/uniparty are on the wrong side of immigration, voting reform, DEI, etc. It's getting too big to control. Harris is not strong enough at the top to carry this, in fact she is beginning to add her own wait.

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

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

Job Creation Slows as Foreign Workers Take the Lion's Share of What Few Jobs Were Created
Plus: Appeals Courts Remove RFKJr's Name from Ballots in MI and NC!
Unrelated Update: Both Michigan's Appeals Court and North Carolina's Supreme Court have reversed lower (Hawaiian judge) rulings keeping RFKJr.'s name on the ballot. Democrats want to keep his name on the ballot because they don't want RFKJr.'s voters voting for the man RFKJr. endorsed, Trump. Republicans want him off (as RFKJr. himself demanded) so that they will.
Remember, it was RFKJr. himself who filed to remove his name from the ballot. Democrat judges said "no, you have to stay on the ballot, to help Kamala." I mean, they didn't say that last part out loud -- but that's the reason. Nice election news for Team Trump:
@SteveLovesAmmo BREAKING: Michigan Appeals Court just ordered that RFK Jr.'s name will be taken off the ballot!

@LeadingReport
BREAKING: North Carolina Court of Appeals has ordered Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s name to be taken off the general election ballot in the state.
Since I'm on Axios' site, I'll go with their spin on this.
The U.S. economy added 142,000 jobs in August, while the unemployment rate edged slightly lower to 4.2% from 4.3%, the Labor Department said on Friday. Why it matters: A slowing labor market is a pivotal factor that will help the Federal Reserve determine the size of a highly anticipated interest rate cut later this month.Axios casually side-steps the real "Why It Matters:" Economists worry that Biden has driven us off the cliff and this latest data point suggests we are closer to a deep recession. But naaaah, it's just about something most people don't care about, a possible federal rate cut. Note the Fed would only cut interest rates, especially in the face of uncontrolled inflation, if a recession were imminent. Axios is pretending they don't know this.
Surprise, surprise. Gee-- that's almost half of June's jobs that turned out to be Fake Economic News.
The August figures came in below expectations of 161,000 job gains. The new report also shows notable revisions for months past: The economy added just 89,000 jobs in July--25,000 fewer than initially thought. June's gains were revised down by 61,000 to 118,000.
David Strom pounces, and then seizes, and then pounces again with a surprise Bonus Seize, upon the fact that over the past year, foreign workers made up 2,000,000+ of new hires, whereas native-born Americans lost 392,000 jobs.

Very much related: Biden admits that the dishonestly, propgandistically named "Inflation Reduction Act" was never about inflation. He's admitting this because the "Inflation Reduction" obviously failed -- but he wants you to know, he succeeded in the real goal of the latest inflation-provoking $369 billion boondoggle:
BIDEN: My investments, through my investments, the most significant climate change law ever, and by the way, it is a $369 billion bill, it's called the, we should have named it what it was, at any rate.
Joe Biden just STRAIGHT UP ADMITTED that the Inflation Reduction Act was a TOTAL SCAM that had NOTHING to do with reducing inflation!

Climate Change regularly polls as a very low priority with voters, though.
Why would they feel the need to lie?
Also, since the IRA passed, and it was all about climate change, does that mean climate change is fixed now?

I don't think it's coincidence that after a strong couple of weeks in the market, with the indexes hitting record highs or close to it, all of a sudden there's selling pressure the instant the calendar turned to September.
Yes, there's been some consolidation and the econ news this week has been mixed. But I think a significant factor has been prep to pressure the fed for a 50 bp cut. That belief is supported by a lot of commentary in the market about how the market is at an important point and could really really really pretty pretty please use 50.

Yes, I get the theory. But these are the same Dumocraps who were fighting to kick RFK off the ballots up until a few weeks ago. I do think that RFK siphons some small amount of votes from this kasabi. So if he was on the ballot, I think that's to Trump's advantage. That's why Dums were so eager to kick him off.
But now it's like the factions have reversed, with the Dums wanting him on and conservatives wanting him off. I assume this is because of his endorsement of Trump.
But I think it's an open question whether this endorsement changed the prior consensus that RFK on the ballot was bad for Dums. I don't know the answer. Without RFK on the ballot, do RFK voters -- who would have voted for RFK -- now vote for Trump? Don't know.

Tactically it's smart, because it reveals they really are prepared to send him to jail, they have decided that jailing him before the election is a bridge they do not want to cross yet.
If Trump loses, he gets sentenced to a multi-decade stretch, if he wins, the sentencing gets delayed until 2028.

The NC Appeals court overturned the trial court's ruling, so RFK, Jr. is off the ballot.
Also, the second part of the ruling requries that ALL ballots have RFK, Jr. off the ballot. This means the ballots ready to go have to be pulped and that will delay the absentee ballot mailing.
From the AP:
The court also told a trial judge to order the State Board of Elections to distribute ballots without Kennedy’s name on them. No legal explanation was given.

Well, my 401K will add to the pain today because PAAANIC! Jerome better get off his ass and do something.
CME Fedwatch is showing 0% probability of NO CUT, 57% probability of a 0.25% cut, and 43% probability of a 0.50% cut.
The yield on the 10 year Treasury is essentially the same right now as it was at yesterday's close, so that indicates the jobs report was no biggie difference as far as what the Fed might do.
Not great, but OK. US is still at full employment since unemployment is under 5%. A Fed rate cut on 9/18 is widely expected.

Incredibly, the long slow death of EV makes it almost impervious to shareholder suits. A company just doing dumb stuff isn't a basis for such a suit. Shareholder suits are generally based on the company lying to or misleading shareholders causing them to buy shares at inflated prices. It usually requires some sudden announcement of bad news that the company knew about earlier but didn't tell shareholders.

Incredibly, the long slow death of EV makes it almost impervious to shareholder suits. A company just doing dumb stuff isn't a basis for such a suit. Shareholder suits are generally based on the company lying to or misleading shareholders causing them to buy shares at inflated prices. It usually requires some sudden announcement of bad news that the company knew about earlier but didn't tell shareholders.

I was able to get four reps at 215lbs on bench. Zero bouncing off the chest, only a very light touch. The fourth rep was a grind. I'm pretty happy about that.
Great work - keep going.
Last time I was in the Gym, it was everything I could do to get one rep with 135. Trainers there told me they wished they could get the students to try that hard. I was so embarrassed. That used to be my easy warm up weight. Age and time kicks all our asses. 20 years ago, I did 3 sets of 7 reps with 225.

They could also delay the sentencing until after Trump leaves office in 28.

Trump should have a more pliable Senate to get more preferred candidates through confirmation processes for things like cabinet posts.
He should put forward the Schedule F plan again, which would give him leeway to fire a bunch of bureaucrats.
He should defer to the Loper ruling, tear out roughly 90% of the federal register, and say that Congress didn't authorize the executive to do most of what it does and fire all the bureaucrats who would be doing things to undermine him.

If I assume polling is deeply, deeply flawed (at best), you'll need to provide me with evidence that's not poll based to back up that assertion, because I'm just going to reject it otherwise.

Part of me is horrified about the idea. Another part of me thinks it's not such a stretch to call the father a co-conspirator. If it's true he bought the rifle AFTER the kid made threats and the police came to interview it about said threats, that's bad. Assuming the rifle was kept unsecured, and the kid didn't have to hide a camera near a safe to gain access to the code or whatever, that's worse.

"Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 253 (1967), was a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, which ruled that citizens of the United States may not be deprived of their citizenship involuntarily.[1][2][3] The U.S. government had attempted to revoke the citizenship of Beys Afroyim, a man born in Poland, because he had cast a vote in an Israeli election after becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen. The Supreme Court decided that Afroyim's right to retain his citizenship was guaranteed by the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. In so doing, the Court struck down a federal law mandating loss of U.S. citizenship for voting in a foreign election—thereby overruling one of its own precedents, Perez v. Brownell (195
, in which it had upheld loss of citizenship under similar circumstances less than a decade earlier.. . .
As a consequence of revised policies adopted in 1990 by the United States Department of State, it is now (in the words of one expert) "virtually impossible to lose American citizenship without formally and expressly renouncing it."[5]

I am not horrified because of the details, IF true. I would be horrified if the parents were doing every thing they could, had their weapons locked up better than a super max, were monitoring all online interactions. But this dad, again if true, bought the kid a gun after being told he was making these threats, and knowing his son was suffering from mental disorders. He did not secure the weapons. You do have responsibility for your children, and this could have been prevented at so many levels. The father having accountability doesn’t negate the child’s accountability.

The Media Which Applies No Scrutiny to Kamala Harris Wonders, "How is Kamala Harris Managing to Avoid Scrutiny?"
Bear in mind: This is the same outlet that insisted Kamala Harris was never "border czar" despite their own "reportage" calling her that in 2021.With 60 days left in the race, and at the very moment she's presenting a different ideology than four years ago, Vice President Kamala Harris isn't getting subjected to the media scrutiny typical for a presidential nominee. Why it matters: Harris is copying President Biden's self-protection media strategy -- duck tough interviews and limit improvisational moments. Her circumstances are different, for sure. She entered the race just seven weeks ago, did dozens of interviews this year before Biden's exit, and plans to do more interviews and gaggles. But with her debate with former President Trump coming up Tuesday (9pm ET), Harris has big questions to answer in two areas that go to the heart of running America: Why did President Biden's top advisers routinely leak word they found her performance as vice president disappointing or episodically problematic? How did her views change in five years, from liberal to centrist on health care, immigration and energy? Why should voters believe her new views are the ones she'd stick with inside the White House? ... Nine areas in which she's shifted views or her current position is unknown: Banning plastic straws for environmental concerns. (She's no longer for it, as Axios reported Thursday.) A mandate for automakers to only make electric and hydrogen vehicles by 2035. (The Harris campaign won't say whether she's still for it.) Banning fracking because of concerns over global warming and potential water contamination. (No longer favors a ban.) A mandatory buyback program for assault weapons as part of her gun safety agenda. (She's dropped this idea.) Decriminalizing crossing the border from a criminal offense to a civil one. (No longer supports.) Reparations for slavery, which many progressives argued for during the 2020 primary. (Position unclear.) Building a wall on the Southwest border, a defining Trump promise that many Democrats have fought. (Accepted it as part of the bipartisan border package that Republicans killed.) A federal jobs guarantee that was part of her Green New Deal proposal. (No longer for it.) Medicare for All, which Harris embraced in her first year as senator. (She's backed off this.) What they're saying: Harris and her campaign haven't provided many details explaining her policy shifts. ... Reality check: One of the features of her melded staff (Harris loyalists and Obama alumni, grafted onto existing Biden staffers) is that even some of her own staffers aren't sure where she stands on a range of issues.I saw a story a couple of weeks ago that Walz avoids interviews precisely because 1, he doesn't want to say what the Harris-Walz position is on issues, and 2, he doesn't even know what the Harris-Walz position is on issues.
[Trump's] running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), routinely sits for tough interviews with mainstream reporters. Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, hasn't done a solo TV interview.
LOL, that must be it, Axios. Good "reporting."
Behind the scenes: As Axios' Sophia Cai has reported, Harris made a decision not to get too deep into specific policies because there wasn't time.
... The result is lots of down-the-middle vagueness. That's the case on the issue of whether Harris would require automakers to build only electric or hydrogen vehicles by 2035 -- a position she took during her 2020 campaign for president. For a story this week, Axios asked her campaign about the issue for six days before getting a "no comment."Why does Kamala Harris think she can stiff-arm a Kamala-boosting media with "no comment," wonders a Kamala-boosting media that makes excuses for her when she stiff-arms them with a "no comment"? Bonchie from RedState comments:
Some elements of the national press are finally starting to understand that Kamala Harris is playing them for fools. Of course, admitting there's a problem is different than acting on it. I'm not sure what's more frustrating. That Kamala Harris doesn't even have an official policy platform yet and early voting is already starting, or that the supposed news outlets are trying to play the victim in the face of that. If only there was a massive "fourth estate" with enormous, worldwide influence that could report honestly on Harris and pressure her into doing interviews and press conferences. If you are to believe Axios' framing, they and other mainstream news sources are helpless. There's just nothing they can do. That contradiction between complaining about Harris' strategy and the press feeding into it is illustrated later in the same article.Even slump-shouldered pudgebucket Chris Cillizza, who even CNN decided was too dumb and leftwing for them, has trouble believing Kamala has really changed her positions. John Sexton:Do you know what the press could do if they want to make Harris speak clearly and publicly about her policy positions? They could stop publishing anonymous sources like the one cited above. Every single time an anonymous "aide" is allowed to change a Harris position with no further details or explanation, her campaign is given every incentive to continue hiding the candidate behind a teleprompter.
What they're saying: Harris and her campaign haven't provided many details explaining her policy shifts. A Harris campaign aide explained to Axios that she's no longer pushing Medicare for All because of what she learned during her four years of experience in the White House, and seeing how the Biden administration has expanded coverage through the Affordable Care Act.
If it were one issue it wouldn't be a big deal but as Cillizza correctly points out, she's done this on a bunch of issues: Fracking, the border wall and asylum policies, the Green New Deal, gun confiscation, Medicare for All. She has done an about face on all of them. It's a big part of her strategy to get elected.Yes, the real truth is that she does have real views, and they are the hard-left views of her Marxist professor father, and she knows she cannot win on those issues, so she's, get this, lying about them with a paper-thin lie that is only designed to hold up for 60 days.So here's the obvious part. The claim that Harris has actually changed her mind because of her time as VP and that her values haven't changed is just not credible.
Those, um, policy shifts are all part of a designed strategy on the part of the Harris team. This, from Axios, is telling on that front: A big part of the Harris plan is to unapologetically change some of her more liberal positions, and claim her White House experience helped change her mind. Yes, when she was running for president in 2019, she was against fracking, for decriminalizing illegal border crossings, and for single-payer health care (Medicare for All).Given that history, I struggle to swallow the spin that her time as vice president is what explains all of these policy shifts. Especially when you consider that every single one of them is Harris moving from a position liberals love to one centrists -- and swing voters -- prefer. Like, she never learned anything during her time in the White House that made her think a more liberal solution was the right way to go? And the explanation that she and her campaign team have settled on -- "my values have not changed" -- doesn't really fly either. If her values told her that single payer, government run healthcare was the right way to insure Americans get the best services possible, why does she no longer think that?Yes, this is all blindingly obvious but again, how many journalists are saying it? ... It's pretty hard to claim her opponents are all liars when there is oodles of video showing Harris herself stating her left-wing views. And the silly claim that her views have evolved, as Chris Cillizza said, just doesn't seem credible. What does seem credible is that Harris' advisers are lying because the real Kamala Harris is a fringe candidate who can't possibly win this election.
It's infuriating that on Axios' own front page, they have another story about Kamala refusing to explain a policy shift -- and making excuses for her.
Harris campaign dodges over EV mandate walkback Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign won't say whether she supports requiring automakers to build only electric or hydrogen vehicles by 2035 -- a position she took during her 2020 campaign for president. Why it matters: Since taking over President Biden's campaign in July, Harris has been light on policy details. Harris' campaign has said she no longer supports many of her past progressive positions and has embraced more centrist stances on health care, immigration, gun control and fracking.But the important thing is: Trump lies. Trump lies when he says Biden-Harris is already pushing an EV mandate, when all they're actually doing is attempting to force people to buy EVs through "tough regulations and financial incentives:"
Even so, Donald Trump's campaign has focused on footage from Harris' 2020 campaign to attack her as "dangerously liberal." Driving the news: Harris' campaign has sent contradictory signals about her position on a mandate for automakers -- a key issue in pivotal Midwestern states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, where many autoworkers are based. In a lengthy "fact-check" email last week that covered several issues, a campaign spokesperson included a line saying that Harris "does not support an electric vehicle mandate" -- suggesting she changed her previous position, without elaborating.
On Aug. 28 Axios asked the Harris campaign to clarify her position, and whether she would sign or veto a bill she co-sponsored in 2019 that included such a mandate for manufacturers.
On Tuesday afternoon, Harris' campaign ultimately declined to comment.
Trump has falsely claimed that Biden has already instituted such a mandate, but the current administration has pushed the adoption of EVs through a combination of tough regulations and financial incentives.Do you think that Axios would agree that DeSantis hasn't "banned abortion," but merely discouraged it through "tough regulations"? Because I don't. I think they say he's "banned abortions."
Kamala Harris has changed positions on a WHOLE lot of things pic.twitter.com/m4MfzWkI0T
— Chris Cillizza (@ChrisCillizza) September 6, 2024
Matt WhitlockThe media keeps claiming she's dropped her hard left positions -- but Kamala Harris hasn't herself claimed this, except for a couple (like her claim she doesn't support frakking now, for the next 60 days). But mostly, the media's "source" for her pretended change in positions isn't Kamala Harris herself, but her (and Obama's) people lying to the press about her "new positions," while Kamala remains free to reassert those positions post-election, and say, honestly: "I never said I was changing positions on that." And she's say, dishonestly: "If you heard that from a mere staffer, it's your fault for believing they could change my policies behind my back." It's both Kamala's fault and the media's fault. The media shouldn't allow her to get away with this, obviously, and also obviously, Kamala Harris is sending out her Media Whisperers to lie anonymously about her supposedly new, changed positions without Kamala ever committing to these new positions.
@mattdizwhitlock
Notable that these changes were ALL announced through unnamed staffers - not from her and not on her website. So we have to trust she's flipped completely on positions - many of which she held even before 2019/2020 - based on anonymous campaign sources in media reports.

Fracking is a particularly tough issue for Ms. Harris. Banning it was a plank in her energy platform in the 2020 primary race. But fracking remains a key element of the economy in Pennsylvania, perhaps the most important battleground state this year...
Don't ban fracking until Pennsylvania has sucked all the natural gas out from under New York State. Those idiots in New York are gonna wake up some day in the dark with no heat and finally figure out that they done fvcked up.

It is interesting the left gets hyper vigilante about this sort of verbiage.
Such slippery talk. They are arguing that Trump is lying when he says that they are "pushing" EV mandates, when they don't have any EV mandates.
Well, duh, if they had them, they wouldn't need to push them.

The AP just deleted this tweet to avoid getting slammed by community notes, but let’s be clear about what just happened here…
JD Vance told reporters that he doesn't like that there are psychotic maniacs who shoot up schools, and that we should respond by improving security to make schools less vulnerable targets.
What did the AP do with that?
They twisted and cherry-picked his comments to make him seem cold and indifferent to victims.
The AP is a collection of liars and propagandists dressed up as a wire service. They're a dumping ground for bitter people too stupid to make it at a real publication. What trash.

I honestly think you could just put a silhouette of a donkey on the ballot, and 50% people would vote for it.
The Democrat brand stands for killing babies, anal sex, blaspheming the Lord, free money and speech policing anyone that argues against the prior four categories.
That sounds like a quite abhorrent list of beliefs to your average normie, but America isn't populated by average normies anymore. The country will eventually crumble and decay into nothing. Slowly, sure. But crumble, it will.
In the end you'll be left with 50 forms of media consumption (including having it just broadcast straight to your brain chips) , 70% obesity, every perverse sexual proclivity happening openly in the streets and a nation of overly medicated zombies waiting for their ration of meal worms to arrive.

DOJ: Right-wing influencers like Tim Pool, Benny Johnson helped spread Russian disinformation on YouTube, X
The U.S. Justice Department doesn’t allege any wrongdoing by the influencers, some of whom it says were given false information about the source of the company's funding, By Alan Suderman, Ali Swenson and The Associated Press • Published September 5, 2024
What to Know
>Tenet Media’s six main influencers, Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson, Lauren Southern, Tayler Hansen and Matt Christiansen, have more than 7 million subscribers on YouTube and more than 7 million followers on X.
>U.S. prosecutors say they worked unknowingly for a company that was a front for a Russian influence operation.

Simply put, the West's ruling faction have put us, the citizens, in a new place where even rolling the politics back to 2000 is viewed as impossible.
The PTB have poisoned every well of information, spiked our institutions with odious Stasi, and destroyed our economies and societies in favor of their own pets of criminals and oligarchs.
Things are going to crash hard (as in how hard Russia and the Eastern bloc did after the wall fell) and the time for preparation is now for securing food, sources of water, medicines, needed references such as emergency medical texts, self protection, and organization at the micro level with compatible neighbors, etc.
If we are lucky, we get a stay of execution in 2024 but that will not reverse present trends internationally and within the US.
Churchill called a similar period in his UK history, The Gathering Storm. That pretty much explains what is happening domestically and internationally today.

Joe Biden has been on a beach for nearly a month now, and the government continues to operate.

All this would have been eagerly released in 15 minutes if the shooter was MAGA. Gray obviously isn't.
I did suspect he was a tranny. The pics do look feminine, with the long hair. But I also have long (and luscious!) hair. I think Gray looks more like a wannabe heavy metal singer than a tranny. But he might have been cleaned up for the photo.
There is very clearly a lot about Gray and his motivations that the media does NOT want us to know.

I agree but will add one caveat: Democrap VOTES don't really align with the preferences of VOTERS. I'm sure the legions of blacks in shitty city housing in Philly and Atlanta would generally prefer a black candidate over a white one, if for no other reason than Fuck the Man.
But their VOTES are harvested and sold and the party machine fills them out in the way the party wants.
I do not truly believe that blacks vote 95% Dumocrap. It's their BALLOTS that say they do.

They had other choices they could have made...but the major component of their modern base had stated they would not show up for anyone but Kamala: read - a 'Black'(ish) woman.
Newsome would absolutely play ball. He just has no National Legs to carry the support they need: read - a Black Woman.

Some stunning great replacement facts: Since July 2018, native-born Americans have lost 350K jobs. That means zero job creation for native-born workers in the past six years.
They have been replaced with 4.7 million non-native workers over this period.

This, though, is incidental. Some of you may remember my unsuccessful attempt to film a documentary of the Harris/Walz campaign. Werner had sought a non-alarming working title, and Cackle Creature: The Ascent of a Fell Beast was the result. My immersion in that infernal political operation yielded a number of insights and occasions to seek medical treatment, but Werner can assure you that Kamala's existence 24/7 is a function of what she terms "Mama's Talking Medicine." Her joyous cackles mark the need for a reboot and a fresh infusion of liquor of such a high proof that it is outlawed by the Geneva Conventions. A lifetime of Oktoberfests in no way prepared Werner to match her drink for drink, and no one should attempt this. There is intoxication and there is channel Bacchus. Even he would nope his way out, however, and such is a warning. Ach.

THE MORNING RANT: A Study Shows that Blue State Refugees Are Voting Heavily Republican in Tennessee
“Hamilton County voter data shows ‘ruby red’ Tennessee is a big draw for those leaving 'Soviet Republic' of California” [Chattanooga Times Free Press – 8/31/2024]
Among those who have moved from California to Hamilton County in recent years and registered to vote since the beginning of 2023, 75% of them participated in a Republican primary this year — either the one in March or August. (Tennesseans don't align with a political party when registering to vote. Party affiliation is determined by which party ballot they chose in the latest primary.)The article quoted Paul Chabot of the online site Conservative Move, who observed that blue state conservatives fleeing to Tennessee are heading for the suburbs, not the major cities, because even the cities are too Democrat.
Tennessee, especially its suburbs surrounding the urban cities, Chabot said, is among the top destinations for the tens of thousands of clients his company serves each year. "The big cities — Nashville, Knoxville and others — are run largely by Democrats, but once you get out of the city limits into the suburbs where most of our clients are moving," Chabot said, "these areas are ruby red."Below is a chart that the Times Free Press compiled from records at the Hamilton County Election Commission. It shows which primary ballot was chosen by those new voters whose previous address was in California.
• 83 former Californians voted in the Republican primary.
• 26 former Californians voted in the Democrat primary.
• 1 General* ballot.

They move with their jobs because their employer is fleeing their states
And then they come into a perfectly healthy host state and, like a virus encoded with blue-state-fever, start voting for what is killing the state they had to move from.

His pet theory is a liberals are less likely to go to a "deep red" state across the country, you'd have to already be conservative to move to a really conservative southern state. But a small step across the border to a "purple state" is easier to process and a moderate/liberal voter will do that.
The CA exodus seems to have made the red southwest now blue/purple, but certain states in the South like FL, redder.
I think AZ is destined to follow Colorado and be a blue leaning state, it's changed so much in the last 15 years. It's not native Arizonans, its the "new" people.
Posted by: Blago at September 06, 2024 11:07 AM (wMRY8)
Unfortunately, our current state, AZ, seems to have been inundated with colonizers. However, AZ has a history of being somewhat schizophrenic in their voting patterns. For instance, a while back, we had a deep red State legislature and Janet Napolitano as our governor.

That it started in 2020 is no accident IMO. I lived in California (LA County) for 30 years until covid came along and although I observed a lot of political nonsense, covid was the first time lefty policies materially affected my life in noticeable ways… lockdowns, mask mandates, church closures…. they even closed the beach where I loved to jog. Now I’m in Texas…. I doubt we would’ve considered moving until the nightmare of covid. The lefties really showed their true colors and it was very ugly…. No apologies either, to this day. “Doctor” Barbara Ferrer is still chief health officer in LA County…. spit

How would that work? The left is strong in the cities, and sometimes the immediately surrounding suburbs. In almost all states, those are islands of lunacy in a sea of normalcy. We'd be going towards a medieval city-state a la Venice, Genoa, and Florence.

I came to that reluctant conclusion myself. Lincoln's House Divided speech comes to mind. It also explains why politics has become so dysfunctional in the US. You cannot have a nation where one faction seeks to dominate another by Calvinball rules.. The other faction and its supporters always gets a say in the matter.
Generally, that move is to opt out and federalism to some extent makes it easier to do that.

I'm thinking that it's more likely to be annulled by judges --farcically--as "unconstitutional" than it could be reversed by proper means. Because I think I've counted it that 20 states would have to decide to give up the share of representation they have.
About more than half the states have 10 or less electoral votes. And *most* of those states would lose a fair degree of representation in the process. So it's about 20 states that have to agree to this to get to the 3/4s ratification.
So, unless everybody gets a lot dumber really quick, I don't foresee that happening.

Also- all the Fugees I know are either/both upper middle class / wealthy - and highly productive members of the economy. If you look around NE TN there is some serious money coming here. Fugees from NY and CA are buying 4x the house with millions left over to spend in the local economy.
It's Fugeeespectacular---- though not some much for working class locals who are getting priced out of their homes... and the Biden regime interest rates are not helping.

No.
It's half the reason you have a Democrat governor. Not unlike Arizona, people can talk about a shift in voters all they want, but when your Republican Party is as corrupt as it is, and both Kentucky and Arizona have suffered from being dominated by those evil pricks they sent to the Senate for decades, voters have no good reason to remain loyal to the party.

But maybe without the ballot dumps at the end of election day (and now other methods), maybe the rest of the state outside the Blue Cheat Zone metropolises would have their votes actually count.
In IL many counties voted 70% Trump. Former Gov Quinn got nicknamed "Three County Quinn", because he only won three counties (maybe 4). But big cities and the Dem machine would just dump extra ballots, or find extra boxes of ballots, changing the election with "incredible turnout" that was mostly fake.

Missouri has elected Democrat governors, as recently as Jay Nixon, who was famous for not activating the Natty Guard during the Mike Brown/Ferguson riots.
I don't think there's been a Democrat majority in the legislature for over 40 years, but I haven't looked.
Sometimes a state nominates a douchebag Republican, and the voters can smell a rat. I don't blame the voters.
Posted by: BurtTC

Same dynamic as to why Hogan in MD and Baker in MA won as governors in deep blue states. It is to apply a check on the excesses of the monolithic blue state. Red states have similar problems with corruption that blue states do--it is more that GOP types are less likely to be an immediate threat to life and liberty and a pocketbook than blue types.
So, you get the minority coalition of blue voters in red states and add in enough red votes from the left of the GOP faction to win a statewide race in a ruby red state.

It doesn't matter that it will be unpleasant--if enough people decide one way or the other that they are not going to take it because rule under the other faction would be intolerable, then it will happen regardless of the human cost.
In post colonial India, Muslims, having treated Hindis like shit during the Moghul empire, feared being treated like shit in return and so fled to majority Muslim areas. Hindis in Muslim areas feared the same. People that did not want a partition stayed and fought for their homes which did not turn out well for those in the minority.

Reservations were based on the multiple sovereignty model with reservations on par with states in the equation.
Some reservations have done well by their tribal members; others not. Depends on the culture of the tribe, its leadership, and what it can bring to the table as far as natural resources, location, education, etc.
It is a recognition that people and their cultures are not potatoes and trying to force unwilling people and their cultures into a cosmic 'melting pot' is evil.

DS was a successful and popular governor. In 2022, he was running against a weirdo crossover scumbag who nobody liked. Of course he got more votes in 2022 than 2018.
The cleanup began before DS arrived on the scene. It started after the 2000 debacle. It was basically a 20 year effort to clean up the votes. It worked. There IS a way to do it. But it takes years if not decades, AND the political will to do it.

Obama now owns Harris. Legitimate VP candidates, from an already weak democrat bench caused by Obama’s famed 2010 humiliation, stood down. Their financial backers and political advisors suggesting they sit this one out rather than get themselves attached to Harris, saddled Harris with a terrible VP option. Walz. I’ve mentioned his awfulness above. They might have had a shot at Shapiro, from a state Harris desperately needs to win. But he’s Jewish. And the democrats, who are the party of antisemites now (another Obama accomplishment), couldn’t abandon Iran after October 7. They can’t abandon them after Hamas executed six hostages. It’s impossible to sustain this. And it is all Obama’s fault.
Dang, I hope this analysis is accurate. It seems like it is.

Drive a stake into voting by mail. Establish a state holiday for voting if you must but kill mail in ballot voting. There is a reason that pretty much universally among nations that actual vote, they don't use it.
Do that and clean up your voting roles, you will be as 'red' as Florida.

Then dem voters request Republican ballots.

That’s exactly how every primary works in my deep red county. And sadly, enough rubes are fooled into voting for Democrats with an R (wink wink) next to their name. My county voted 65-35 for Trump both times yet the same county has 2 commissioners who would fit right in Austin or Berkeley with their politics.

Sopranos Star Says Hollywood Is “Full” Of Closeted Trump And RFK Jr. Voters

I love Tennessee. I have cousins who went from country to lefty near Nashville and relatives in Knoxville who are steady Republican. It's just a really nice state and I so hope that holds - forever.
Relatives in central Florida who fled there years ago are complaining that overcrowding and insurance costs are making it almost impossible to remain, but now they can't afford to move to a 'better area.'
More than retirees changing the political picture, I think it's more so 'families' and children. The more that settle in a particular area, the greater taxes for infrastructure, state government, etc. While wealthier areas put land into conservation, other areas of the same region become ever more political and crowded. And, of course, more diverse.
I wanted to move to Virginia years ago, but now lovely Loudoun County, VA comes to mind & how it, too, had been sucked into the worst of politics. It's still lovely & I like Gov. Youngkin, but politics in VA can be particularly nasty & there are now some of the snobbiest places in state ever, thanks to D.C., and as there already are in PA.

Want me to list some polling misses in FL recently? Okay.
Emerson's final, most accurate poll of the 2018 Senate race was off by 5, in the D favor.
Emerson didn't even poll the 2022 race, but the aggregate seemed to be about 50-45 in favor of Rubio. He won 58-41.
Seriously, fuck polls.

Snipes, the election director in Miami Dade was a major reason that elections were so close in Florida. Once she was forced out, Miami Dade snapped back in voting.
Ken Blackwell did the same thankless thing in Ohio as SoS and fought it out in the courts while the typical GOP turds in other state offices dithered around.
The Motor Voter bill is clear. Voter lists must be cleared of deadwood (moved, dead, non-existent, etc. on a regular basis). That is what the GOP forced onto the bill despite not being in a winning position. So, even in blue states, determined citizens and local GOP managed to get millions of non existent voters chucked out of the voter lists in Orange County and other places in CA. Success has been repeated in jurisdiction after jurisdiction even suits in blue states with Obama judges because the law is clear on that point. You must purge the voter rolls periodically.

Rubio won his election in 2022 by nearly 20%.
This is a huge swing in a swing state that could potentially be thrown up to "popular governor" who...went straight ahead into the culture war.
But that should have no effect on the 2024 race because polls, which have had massive, massive misses in FL recently, don't agree.

Labor, despite having a huge majority--(it got about 33 percent or so of the vote) received a historic low in its voting percentage since WWII.
The Conservatives were crippled even more because they proved useless and actually harmful during Covid period to governance. They dropped to a historic low in voting percentage too (24 pct or so I think).
Turnout was down so much that the 2024 election percentage was about the same as the 2001 election and only the 1918 election was lower than 2001.
In a first past the post system, that is unprecedented.

Dang. I see both positions, and have vacillated between both.
Without bloody conflict, I do not believe Cali, NY, etc can be changed. Simultaneously, if there is a peaceful option, I can't blame people for seeking such.
I think anyone who remains in a Blue state/city deserves everything coming to them. I also welcome Constitution-loving people to the Free State of Missouri.

If the cost of living, taxes and general lunatics that run the northern states wasn’t enough to leave, the Covid debacle put it in another category. It was unreal how it was handled and for how long. The vaccine and mask mandates were just being lifted in the fall of 2023 as I was leaving. I lost my job because of the vax mandate.
I had enough of the discrimination from being non vaxed from people I had known for decades. I was treated like a leper. And no one would hire without vax paperwork. I jokingly (but really seriously) said to folks maybe I should wear a yellow Star of David on my shirt so they all would know. That snark didn’t go over well.
So I had enough and left. I’m happy to be here. Still trying to get adjusted, find a job and where I eventually want to buy a house. I miss my friends that stuck by me but I’m hopeful to make new ones here.

They are still doing their best to ruin our state, and as a 7th-generation Texan, I'll state that their personal breathing might be at stake if they screw with us too much!

The piece itself shows the moment before the event in question. The gravy boat is sitting on the table, ready to receive its contents for the upcoming luncheon. The sullen maid has not yet filled it and so it is the last moment of normality before the tumult begins.
In the next panel, the sullen maid - embittered by her status - indifferently pours gravy into the vessel, splashing it onto the surrounding tablecloth and generally making a mess. The head maid is supervising and scolding the young maid.
In the third panel, the young maid is seen hurling the gravy boat at the head maid as the master of the estate walks across the room.
The implication is obvious, and the viewer is invited to mentally create his own fourth panel. The head maid is enraged, the young maid is stripped of her duties and dismissed, and the gravy boat is collateral damage.
The overall work, when fully pictured, is often considered a prime example of the "simple domestic tragedy" theme in the visual arts.

A saucier is a "sauce chef" rather than a vessel for containing sauces. According to this thesis on the work's origin and intention, the piece is stand-alone and shows the aftermath of the sudden death of the estate's saucier.
The gravy boat sits unfilled, its contents never to appear. The man who prepares the gravies is no longer on this earth. The empty vessel is a sad testament to the transience of life and the void left with a man's passing.

New $100M computer will apply AI to boost NOAA's weather forecasting capabilities | UPI
A new $100 million high-performance computer system will advance research and development efforts by NOAA on a number of scientific and weather-related tasks, the federal government announced Tuesday.
The high-performance computer called "Rhea" will advance NOAA research on weather, climate, and ocean and ecosystem prediction at its new modular facility in Fairmont, W. Va., at NOAA's Environmental Security Computing Center, currently home of the Hera HPC supercomputer.
NOAA's Rhea computer was "named for the Greek goddess and mother of gods," the agency said.
"The Rhea high-performance computer system adds needed computing capacity for NOAA to expand critical research that supports the nation's climate resilience," Assistant Secretary of Commerce Michael C. Morgan wrote Tuesday in a news release. [...]

The AP just deleted this tweet to avoid getting slammed by community notes, but let’s be clear about what just happened here…
JD Vance told reporters that he doesn't like that there are psychotic maniacs who shoot up schools, and that we should respond by improving security to make schools less vulnerable targets.
What did the AP do with that?
They twisted and cherry-picked his comments to make him seem cold and indifferent to victims.
The AP is a collection of liars and propagandists dressed up as a wire service. They're a dumping ground for bitter people too stupid to make it at a real publication. What trash.

In the very first episode (I think; it's been years) as Hogan shows a new prisoner around the camp, he mentions that the last thing they want is to get rid of Klink and have the High Command put in someone *competent*!
At age 12, I did not know about the horrors of the Russian Front. So when Hogan says that Schultz closes his eyes to their activities lest he "get a vacation to the Russian Front," I was puzzled. To me, a vacation was a good thing. Hogan was being sarcastic, of course.

Klemperer was quite the accomplished actor. He'd played an unrepentant Nazi in Judgment at Nuremberg, Adolf Eichmann in a pic about the Israelis' capture of him, and a private detective (sans German accent) on Perry Mason. Plus some lighter work on Have Gun -- Will Travel and in the famous William Shatner-Leonard Nimoy episode of The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

However the back story on natural gas is the Commies in Washington ordered the hit on the Russian natural gas so that American natural gas could supply Europe.
Constraints on supply of LNG mean higher prices and less supply. That isn't going to make EU happy. But it also means more supply here at home so lower prices here.
But California has declared war on natural gas and is busy erasing it.
There's something being missed here with the LNG terminals.

That should have gotten him tarred and feathered and those guardsmen exiled from their state. Something is seriously wrong.

This is anathema. As Werner has noted before, the only positive of the Swiss is that they are not Austrians, not too dissimilar to the observation that adult pythons may take more time to crush your skeletal structure than the Anaconda. They...actually, no, Werner withdraws that, as he does not wish to insult the slithering beasts by comparing them to the Swiss. Someday, in the Last Battle of Elves and Men, the Swiss will finally get what has long been their due, and most decisively. Asses shall be kicked and names taken, and some levity will be added to Ragnarok. This may be an overreaction on Werner's part.

Relying on internet advertising based on popups was always a risky and marginal business and one that was facing Google's AdSense as a competitor.
So she built a few platforms and then sold it to Salem which was probably the only buyer for those properties anyway. Salem makes it money as a conglomerate which is why their product stinks--it has to please advertisers and corps that are composed of the left of the GOP base that likes or tolerates the left's social and economic policies including globalism and endless sources of cheap labor but dislikes the Dems on national security and taxes.

Comes from a business mindset--prices are cheap here at home, if we can sell abroad, we can make more money and if need be invest even more money to increase production and so forth.
Essentially, the idea is by the time nat gas becomes short supply here---then new energy sources will substitute. To them, energy demand will inevitably find a supply via the substitution effect and it is foolish to keep the resource underground when it can be sold abroad for profit (and to sway Euroland away from the Russians).

The Morning Report — 9/6/24
A group of university professors are circulating a petition and a statement among their colleagues to support the Republican ticket in the upcoming presidential election. The project is titled "Lesser Evil." These professors are not MAGA-hatted hardcore conservatives, but citing Adam Smith, they have reached the logical conclusion that fundamental freedoms will be better preserved under a Republican administration than a Democratic one. The project is the brainchild of Daniel Klein, a professor at George Mason University, and Daniel Mahoney, professor emeritus of political science at Assumption University. On the website, Klein explains the rationale behind the effortAnecdotal to be sure, but couple this with confirmed cases of disaffected blacks, and other core Democrat constituencies, even the odd Democrat Politician who switches parties, along with the very public condemnation of that party by RFK Jr. and other Democrats of lesser royal lineage in that party, and surely it must mean something is in the air. Of course, no doubt they'll change their minds once they hear the news that LIZ Cheney has endorsed Harris!
. . . Langbert also said that the GOP leaders “have done too little to cut harmful government programs, of which I can offer a long list beginning with the Department of Education.” He also commented, “Republicans are the lesser of two evils. They remain philosophically committed to liberalism and the rule of law…neither party has embraced the liberal views that propelled the United States, and earlier Great Britain and Germany, to world leadership.” Langbert also contends that a Harris administration would be "catastrophic." . . . The group is looking for tenured professors at American universities to sign the petition. The College Fix notes that as of Thursday, 51 professors had signed on, double the number of signatories in late August. The site also has an interesting graphic showing how Republicans are "less bad" than Democrats regarding various issues. While we are not seeing a landslide of people shifting from left to right or even from center to right, there is momentum. Ironically, people like these professors, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., politicians, and people from all walks of life understand something that easily escapes the Democratic Machine, its celebrities, media figures, et al. It is something that even eludes the Never-Trump conservatives who go to such pains to remind everyone how truly erudite and illumined they are. . . . But for now, it is good to have new faces here. These people understand that we are in danger of seeing Orwell's quote from 1984 come to fruition: “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.” Of course, even with fresh recruits, victory in November is not guaranteed. The Democratic war machine is well-oiled and well-funded. Be that as it may, the Democrats know that despite their best efforts, more and more people are awake, not woke.
But of course, the Democrats have a surefire insurance policy to guarantee victory (over and above election thievery at the polls or if need be in the courts). Go to a moldy old oldie: blame Russia for colluding with Trump to steal 2024.
People forget that the first few weeks of her 2019 campaign were not a total disaster area; it took a few weeks for the shine to wear off. But now it’s wearing off, so the Democrats are activating Operation Russiagate II. The Biden-Harris junta is making noise about Russia interfering in our elections again. Yesterday, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced indictments and seizures of internet domains related to Russian interference in the election.So with that, I ask yet again, does Garland's Left Hand know what his Far Left Hand is up to?
The Department of Justice unsealed an indictment Wednesday alleging that two Russian nationals working for President Vladimir Putin’s government funneled millions of dollars into a media company run by anti-Trump conservative influencer Lauren Chen. “An indictment unsealed in the Southern District of New York charged Kostiantyn Kalashnikov and Elena Afanasyeva, both based in Moscow, with conspiracy to launder money and conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act,” CBS News reported on Wednesday. . . . . . The company allegedly had business arrangements of varying depths and duration with popular influencers such as Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin, and Lauren Southern as talent. Most of those listed have voiced pro-Trump opinions, though Chen herself had turned on the former president.No one is going to fall for this garbage. Even Garland's own apparatchiks, know this is not only bullshit but a perversion of justice.
. . .Biase: “The whole thing is disgusting. And they’re just out to get him [Trump].”What someone says on a hidden camera is one thing, but to preserve protect and defend their jobs, pensions and their own asses from getting the Frank Serpico or Jeffrey Epstein treatment is something else. And yet, extrapolate it out to what I am sensing is a not insignificant and growing number of ordinary people who are beginning to connect their misery of the past four years with what Trump is saying and it seems to be connecting. Please God. Have a good weekend.
“You know, it’s a perversion of justice.”
“He [Alvin Bragg] was stacking charges and rearranging things just to make it fit a case. To be honest with you, I think the case is nonsense.”
“This guy’s probably going to try to lock him [Trump] up. There is going to be — it’s going to be ugly. They’re so obsessed with getting him [Trump].”
Undercover Reporter: “Who is they?”
Biase: “The Democrats.” . . . The focus was primarily on the New York case since Biase does his work for the SDNY. However, Biase said the following about Fulton County DA Fani Willis and the case against Trump in Georgia: “It’s a travesty of justice to put it mildly. It’s a mockery of justice. She [Willis] is a joke. Like her and her boyfriend she was seeing, the whole thing is disgusting. And, they’re just out to get him [Trump].”

'Feds raid home of NYPD Commish Edward Caban, other close Adams allies.'
Federal agents hit NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban and members of the nation’s biggest police force this week — amid a stunning spate of raids on others in Mayor Eric Adams’ inner circle, sources said Thursday.
Agents showed up to the homes of Caban, Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Phil Banks and the townhouse shared by Schools Chancellor David Banks and First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright with search warrants early Wednesday and seized their electronic devices, according to law-enforcement sources.

IIRC it's something like 25% of all border crosser children are unaccounted for.
They're s3x slaves. People don't want to acknowledge what's happening here in the U.S., and what our own government is enabling, but those 25% of illegal kids - same as the two poor young boys mentioned above - are slaves. But those children are being subjected to things far worse than picking cotton before their descendants have full-ride scholarships to any school they want and priority hiring mandates in the job market.
But the connection is part of why we can't talk about it. Slavery only happens to one group of people by one group of people, see? That's Science.

Ever at the ready to police only conservatives and give advice that no one wants, needs or could use.
Censorship includes all forms of blocking free speech.
That includes "reasonable" restrictions on false speech.
And also includes restrictions on who can speak.
And, most importantly, demands on what should be said are no different than demands on what cannot be said.
Dressing censorship in the lies of "shouldn't give a platform" or "should fact-check" is still censorship.

Because she can explain why their sons and daughters are buried there, who was "the last person in the room" when the decision was made to let them be killed.
And why she still refuses to honor or even acknowledge their sacrifice--even when invited.
But Trump did.

>>The Dems get completely political AGs like Holder and Garland. The Republicans get Ashcroft who covered up stone tits on a statue, Sessions who didn't exist and Barr who played bagpipes.
Because the Democrats are a legitimate political party with the intent to use all of the instrumentalities of government to advance their agenda, the GOP is not a legitimate political party, so you tend to get retards AG's like the ones that were mentioned.

The same media telling you Harris is ahead are the same media that was telling you 7 years ago that Trump paid Moscow prostitutes to urinate on the bed Obama slept in.
To this day, not one has admitted that claim was false.

Do I believe the polls saying Kamala is ahead by 7 more or less than the polls that said that Biden was up by 15?
Really, if you want to believe polls, everything says that Kamala is running somewhere between 3 and 12 points behind Biden.

I was just looking at an interview with the man who runs Rasmussen, and he talked about weighting, which all pollsters do. If he thinks his sample has too many Trump supporters ( his words) he weights his results to account for this, and all other pollsters do the same in their own ways.
The problem, he explained, was that especially in this cycle there’s no hard data to justify how that weighting should be done, even though this easily skews the results at least 5 points in either direction.

It's less about turning them into MAGA hat wearing, small government conservatives, and more about simply disconnecting them from the Democrat Party as a whole.
True Believers think that everyone the the Democrat hierarchy are moral people who only try to do good. Having a sort of prominent voice saying, "I've been in rooms with these people, and they're all money-grubbing whores who don't care about policy," is the kind of message that could resonate with a Democrat voter who thinks that they should have accomplished more since Obama other than an explosion of health insurance costs...wait a second...didn't Obama fix health insurance?

Any weighting makes me believe polls less, not more. That's the point of getting random samples large enough to actually be statistically meaningful. The randomness is supposed to work in the model's favor.
However, since polling literally tens of thousand of people to get the thousands of results to come close to that sort of real randomness to model for a population of 150,000,000 voters is really expensive, pretty much no one does it. So, they weight, and that's when the assumptions come in, making everything nonsense.
Also, there is a good model for partisan makeup. Gallup did it earlier this year. Big survey. Republicans outnumber Democrats for the first time ever.

Well, contrary to what gets taught in most pulpits in this country (if they teach eschatology at all) and the majority of radio preachers, there are things which must happen first.
See Matt 24 where the disciples ask two questions. When shall all these things be (the destruction of the temple) and what shall be the sign of your coming and the end of the age?
He skips the first question.
See also 2Thess 2:1-4 Not until after the anti-christ is revealed by committing the abomination of desolation.
See Daniel 9:24-27 for when this happens in relation to Daniel's 70th week.
This is the reason I posted from the article concerning the 100 day speech by hamas' military's spokesman and his mentioning of the red cows brought to Israel.

I didn't go to medical school but I think a 'support team' of Morons in the delivery room would be epic. We'd promise to avert our eyes at the appropriate moments to preserve your dignity and holler "PUSH! PUSH! PUSH!" when the Doc says to.

It's easy to avert your eyes, to tell yourself that it's an anomaly, an aberration... and then it happens to you and it's harder to believe that lie. It's the story of "a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged".

Yes, it's so much fun. When my daughter was a teenager, we were travelling on the interstate-my wife, daughter and me. Stopped at a rest area to use the facilities. I noticed there was a long steep hill out back, in view of the bathrooms. Got done quickly myself and ran up this 150 yard hill. When my wife and daughter emerged from the ladies room, I started yelling-"Lydia! Lydia!" while jumping and waving my arms. Both of them in unison dropped their heads and made a beeline for the car.

True UT story... back when I was a student I went by the student union to grab lunch one day with some friends. As we were walking through the freak area, I was approached by spokes-creatures for both the communists and the anti-death-penalty people. I stopped and, in a loud voice, said "the worst thing about the death penalty is that they don't execute enough communists". My friends nearly bust a gut.

Was talking to my wife about our expenses and how our average monthly credit card bill has nearly doubled.
We've always lived within our means. Unfortunately, our means have stayed the same while our "lived within" keeps getting more expensive.

That's how the spy game works. They keep things civilized by reciprocating in kind so nobody ever gains an advantage with violence against the other team.
The linked article was all about urging the Senate to ask CIA appointees about this stuff during confirmation hearings to try to smoke out the enemy and expose internal moles and coverups. That seems like a waste of time, if, as the author claims, every likely President wants to cover it up.

And those you speak of, the full and partial preterists,,, what they do to scripture to get there,,, ignore, allegorize, spiritualize and symbolize everything,,, sad.

Walz was sent to largely Republican Lancaster county in PA to go it alone - well, he did take his daughter, too - to get the good news out about awesome responsibility and awesome opportunity. Philadelphia Daily News - Inquirer, 'Look Who's Small-Talking in Pa,' "It's not hyperbole to say this election could very well hinge on this county here, and the folks that we get out," Walz said to a crowd of supporters in the basement of the county's Democratic Party headquarters in Lancaster, a small city of approximately 58,000 people 80 miles west of Philadelphia."
Walz did not talk about specific policy issues during his Lancaster County visits, and he did not take questions. He told supporters he was feeling momentum for the campaign throughout his stops across the country..."
And as Tim Walz picked up his apple cider donuts (Cherry Hill Orchards & Farm Market in a more rural part of the county), he joked about a recent video of Trump's running mate, U.S. Sen. JD Vance (R,Ohio) uncomfortably ordering doughnuts in Georgia.
"Look at me, I have no problem picking out doughnuts," Walz quipped."

"They're" going batsh*t over the alleged Trump Plan 2025. Apparently a thing locally is if people are skeptical, tell them to Google it. Do the research, don't take our word for it.

"One of the reasons it's been so successful is because you can talk about every issue - abortion, housing, climate change, immigration, said Navid Nayak, president of the Center of American Progress Action Fund. "Every group that has a threat they were worried about has been able to use Project 2025 to animate that thread."

Daily Tech News 6 September 2024
Top Story
- The US, UK, and EU have signed a "legally binding" AI treaty. (Reuters) (archive site)
Has it been ratified by the Senate? Yeah, that's what I thought.
The treaty itself is relatively short at just twelve pages. (PDF)
Unfortunately it is utter garbage since the definition of "artificial intelligence" it provides applies to every computer ever built, back to the Hollerith tabulating machines used in the 1890 US census.
On the plus side, it has deeply upset the communists by focusing almost entirely on government use of AI rather than corporate or individual use.
Tech News
- The Windows 11 23H2 Ryzen patch is here. Does it deliver performance as promised by the preview? Yes. Maybe. Sometimes. (YouTube)
Interestingly this video tests Windows 10 alongside Windows 11 2023 and 2024 versions with and without the patch, and Windows 10 often runs faster than unpatched Windows 11.
The problem is that there is a 10% variance in performance between two installs of the same patch version of Windows 11 on the same computer.
That's the kind of thing that leads to bald hardware reviewers.
- There's a live action Minecraft movie coming. (YouTube)
If you know of the fuss about the original design of Sonic for the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, this looks worse.
If you don't know of that fuss, simply put, this movie is going to bomb. Hard. With 350 million crazed Minecraft fans in the world, there is no way this is going to break even.
There's already a gold standard in this kind of thing, in the form of the Lego Movie.
Everything the Lego Movie did right (which is a lot), this does wrong.
Update: Somebody already fixed it.
The internet taketh away, but sometimes the internet also giveth.
- China's 7nm chips are close in performance and size to Taiwan's 5nm chips. (Nikkei Asia)
Only problem is that Taiwan is now ramping up 2nm production. And it will take China a decade to get there.
China's 7nm chips are produced using 14nm equipment with multi-patterning, carefully writing over the chip repeatedly using optical effects to produce a smaller feature size than can be achieved directly.
The problem is that this is rather like saving on painting a car by buying half-price paint... That requires twelve coats to provide an acceptable finish.
- Meanwhile Russia has been dodging sanctions and buying up spare parts for its own chipmaking facilities. (Tom's Hardware)
Which operate on the 90nm node. Some of them. Others are all the way back at 200nm, which is the same process used for Stonehenge.
- My most downvoted StackOverflow answer. (GitHub)
If you're not interested in the fine details of C vs. C++ arrays, at least scroll down to the quoted Reddit post at the end. It is a thing of beauty.
- It is truly an exciting time to be buying a new PC. (WCCFTech)
Intel's upcoming desktop Core 7 265K is 2% faster than the current 14700K.
But at least it probably won't commit suicide.
Disclaimer: Probably.

So much for the "wild frontier individualism" concept. Americans were no better, at least in cities. By reports from people here on AoSHQ, the outlying areas and rural sections were vastly better.

California Senate Republicans advanced amendments to protect hospitality and service industry employees with a state tax exemption on tips. Legislative Democrats refused to consider the issue and summarily killed the proposal without discussion or debate.
…“It is deeply disappointing that the legislature chose not to consider a proposal that could have provided much-needed relief to California’s workers,” said Senator Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh (R-Yucaipa), who put forth the amendment. “With Californians facing one of the highest costs of living in the nation, our service and hospitality industry employees are particularly burdened by a tax system that leaves them struggling to make ends meet. They deserve better, and today’s decision is a missed opportunity to support those who need it most.”

Accomplishing any large task is tiring. There are always pressures that foster discouragement - the task seems impossible , it can never be finished or too many factors are working against us. The only cure for disappointment is focusing on God's purposes. Nehemiah reminded the workets of their calling , their goal and God's protection . If you are overwhelmed by an assignment , tired and discouraged , remember God's purpose for your life and his special purpose for the project. Look for devout and prayerful leaders and fellow workers. Encourage them as they are driven by God's purposes. Then give yourself wholeheartedly to completing the project

The '49, I've read, was considered a leap forward in engineering and design for Ford, the best they'd produced since the '40. Of course there had been no '43-'45 models, and the '46-'48 were basically the same design as the '40. So almost anything would have looked good after almost a decade with no really new models. Still, hindsight says the '49 was a standout.

Back in darkest Africa there was a limit on the number of years one could spend on a M.Sc. or Ph.D. I seem to remember 3 and 6 years respectively. After that one had to quit or start all over again on something else. Heck in 10 years the project supervisor may have moved on to greener pastures such as Harvard, since it's Education.

But I'd pull my own eyes out of their sockets just to have something beat you with for considering Apple.
So I would just go with a Windows 11 box from Costco or something and be done with it. And this is after a night of MS frustration of fighting Word autoformatting just to get a work product out the door. That's how much you should avoid Apple, unless you are looking to burn money.
