The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
2. Be nice to one another. No jumping on the furniture, this isn't the Olympics.
3. No, there is not a running with sharp objects contest in the Olympics. No need to train.
4. Have a wonderful 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: 6/15 – Jewells posted that she has decided to end her cancer treatments. She had 6 months to go on her 2 year palliative care program, but the chemo drug is ruining her quality of life.
7/13 Update – Jewells posted that the new CT scan showed some growth of the cancer, but for not having treatments for 3 months, it wasn’t bad. She likes the new doctor, and they are figuring out next steps, but Jewells still does not want more chemo. 6/15 – Grumpy and Recalcitrant asked for continued prayers for J.J. Sefton of the Morning Report. He is about to begin chemo and radiation therapy.
7/13 – J.J. posted that he was halfway through the 6-week treatment phase. Aside from being fatigued, there were no serious side effects, thank goodness. He will be having regular MRIs to monitor for any recurrence. He said he cannot thank everyone enough for their kindnesses, prayers, and expressions of support. He also sends prayers for all who are suffering, for complete and speedy recovery.
7/17 Update – J.J. said he is about the same – fatigued, but powering through as best he can. 6/25 – TP asked for prayers for JT, who is ill and in need of prayer.
7/13 Update – JT is in a rehab facility. No one has been able to speak with him, but prayers are still requested. 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.
7/20 Update – Rev is still in the hospital. After recovering from the bowel obstruction, he got Covid.
7/26 Update – Rev had more surgery – a bowel resection. 7/6 – Miklos requested prayers for Old Mama, who at the age of almost 86, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, which has apparently already spread.
7/11 Update – Old Mama was discharged from the hospital today. This is one of the cases in which the cancer can be surgically removed, and arrangements are underway. Miklos sends his thanks. 7/6 – neverenoughcaffiene brought up prayers for lousagirl, whose husband passed away a few weeks ago. 7/6 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for Jessie, the former church organist, who was hospitalized with a UTI.
7/13 Update – Jessie is out of the hospital, but still is dehydrated and her UTI medication was making her nauseous. She sends her thanks for the prayers, as does FenelonSpoke. 7/7 – mindful webworker was hospitalized again with intestinal issues. It was resolved without surgery. 7/8 – Tonypete’s friend’s granddaughter was in a severe car crash. She is gravely injured with massive head and leg injuries, and is in a coma. Prayers for her and for the rest of the family, including Tony’s friend Rudy, are appreciated. 7/11 – Stateless posted that he was at a low point, and could use some encouragement. 7/12 – AnnaS posted a request for prayers. Her husband was very sick. 7/13 – NR Pax asked for prayers for his mother-in-law, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. They have found a second mass, so she will be having another biopsy. Hopefully after that, surgery can be planned out. 7/13 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for a job for FenSon, as well as all the other recent college grads. 7/13 – Ruthless asked for prayers for an upcoming heart procedure on 7/23, to replace his aortic valve. It turned out that he had a birth defect that was never detected, but has caused some physical limitations over his 83 years, which were becoming worse.
7/24 Update – The valve replacement went well. Thanks for the prayers. He also got a pacemaker as well. 7/13 – Someone Else requested prayers for Bull Dog of Maggie’s Farm ,who is going through the same thing that JJ Sefton is. 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”. 7/18 – Annie’s Stew sends prayers of thanks for God’s protection of President Trump. 7/18 – “Norman Spiny” requested prayers for his lovely wife, Cindy (married 33 years) who passed away on 7/20 due to metastatic breast cancer. 7/20 – Defenestratus asked for prayers for an aunt and uncle. The aunt just passed away after battling her second round of brain cancer. Her first bout was 34 years ago. The uncle has been distraught, and now they found a benign tumor at the base of his skull that is causing a blood vessel to be pinched. This is causing vision issues for him. They have to wait until next month to see if it is operable. 7/20 – barbarausa asked for prayers for her son. He has gone off the deep end again, and just got kicked out of rehab, after being kicked out of his last group home. He is calling her, asking her to come get him, and she cannot. She can’t take care of him, or keep him on his psych meds, or keep him in treatment, or live with the psychotic breaks. 7/21 – Nan in AZ asked for prayers for her doctors and her mom. Nan is in the hospital with possible cardiac issues. Nan’s dad passed away last month, so they are still dealing with that loss. 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.
7/30 Update – Only 1 of the 3 lymph nodes taken out tested positive for cancer. They believe they got all of the cancer out. 7/24 – Pooky’sGirl requested prayers for her SiL, who lost her mother to an MS-related aneurysm a few months ago, just found out that her father has pancreatic cancer.
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.

Obama had the same tic, but was a bit smoother about it.
The press has gone all-in on lying about her record to the point of discrediting their previous coverage. That won't help, though, because she keeps talking.

The morning dawn walk was only interrupted with one yapping rat dog. That is pretty good for New Mexico where it seems everybody has five rat dogs which the owners think have human rights and are allowed to be outside yapping all night long.
With the walk out of the way I think I'm going to jump on the putt-putt and go find some lovely huevos rancheros for breakfast before the day heats up. After that, I'll hit the Saturday market here in Las Cruces, which is a fantastic affair, and pick up fresh tomatoes and things.

this is a dumb thing to pray for but I'm getting my usual august blues - have to start taking them back for preseason or for dorm move-in and it's a lot sad
on the good hand they all love their schools and are excited to go back, and one graduates and already has a job awaiting - she will even be working PT remotely while finishing up school. and that job is nice and local! so she will be around (well in an apartment) after grad.

Yeah, yeah, I know it was on the Tech thread, but-
I cannot tell you how much I hated that evil Google AI "Dear Sydney" ad from the moment I saw it.
They were literally encouraging parents to teach their children to-
Never learn how to write properly. Never learn how to organize their thoughts. Never to have an original or personal thought. Never to learn how to properly express their emotions. In other words,-
their children should never learn to be functioning, independent human beings.
Why just plug into Google AI and it will do everything for you!
Google AI looks like some sort of Autism-Generating machine, or perhaps the ultimate grooming device telling you what your thoughts are or should be.
Good job, a-holes.
IMHO Google and Our Betters really do want your children and grandchildren to be nothing but pliable, neurotic, unthinking sex toys for their amusement.
Google AI is perfect proof of that.

Why just plug into Google AI and it will do everything for you!
Google AI looks like some sort of Autism-Generating machine, or perhaps the ultimate grooming device telling you what your thoughts are or should be.
Good job, a-holes.
IMHO Google and Our Betters really do want your children and grandchildren to be nothing but pliable, neurotic, unthinking sex toys for their amusement.
Google AI is perfect proof of that.

I always appreciate the Saturday morning prayer list. It gives me an opportunity to share a moment with those that need it and to reflect on that I lot to be grateful for. Except for the stupid rat dogs that bark when I go for my morning walk; those I only have bad thoughts about and I am not grateful for them at all.

It is one of the two threads I still follow here. The world as we long knew it is coming to an end; what comes next is not clear.
I find politics stressful and ultimately pointless. Greater powers are at work and I've found a remarkable level of peace and comfort by focusing on faith, family and community. This thread reminds us of that, renewing our spirts through faith and community.
IMO, it's the most important thread on the site.

My wife had a superpubic catheter for 20 years. You need to change the bad every week or so. Just throw it out. Don't try to reuse. You need to irrigate the catheter at least once a week. They normally want you to use saline. Wifey didn't like it. It caused pain. So, sterile water works.
And the fun part, you have to change the catheter periodically. A little Lidocaine to lubricate the catheter works wonders.

So a key thing I've concluded about the Trump assassination attempt:
1) The SS teams obviously reduced the range of security coverage, most likely due to management imposed personnel restrictions. This led them to give the AGR building grounds to the local authorities to secure.
2) The local authorities, whether through laziness or incompetence (though I think the former) simply shit the bed regarding security, and a lot of evidence backs that up:
The local authorities (Butler EMS) set up counter snipers inside a building and that would mostly likely be what the counter sniper teams recommended. Why? The cops told the SS that they will set up their command site inside the AGR building to allow the cops get out of the heat. The cops also told the SS site commander after the fact that the roof was too sloped so they couldn't set up on it.

I have the wife's washing machine torn apart.
Parts came in at like 8:30 last night.
She looks at me like "get to work".
I went to bed.
So this morning I have a choice.
Work on it now and piss her off because it's a big noisy metal box that will wake her up when I move it OR wait til she wakes up and piss her off it isn't done yet.
Decisions, decisions.
Morning. Prayers for those asking and those needing but not asking.

Following up on the above local cop failures:
1) A video of a man shooing away spectators along the AGR fence with a direct line of site the Trump stage. That man was not a law enforcement person but an employee of AGR!!!!!
2) Same video shows a broken gate in the fence simply "sealed" by running "Do Not Cross" yellow tape in the opening!!!!!!
3) The cops themselves state they came out of the building to look for Crooks!!!!!
4) One cop merely sent a message to "command" when Crooks piggy backed him driving in through the AGR security gate!!!!!!!!!
5) Range Finder - cops

Bunnies are in fact made of food. This statement is true.
We had a pair of baby raccoons living in the front garden for a few days. They were cute to watch as they climbed the tree, almost fell, etc. However, I'd let it be known that I was going to trap them and move them because I do not want adult raccoons living here.
The left on their own the next day. Problem solved.

A group founded by Mrs Clinton from the ashes of her failed presidential bid has donated $500,000 (£391,500) in the last three years to the protest group’s California-based financiers.
.....
A paper trail of transparency disclosures, seen by The Telegraph, shows that one of the CEF’s major supporters is Onward Together, a campaign organisation founded by Mrs Clinton in the aftermath of her 2016 presidential campaign against Donald Trump.
Onward Together gave $300,000 to the CEF in 2021, and a further $200,000 in 2022. The money donated by her group was placed into a fund that was used to pay for Just Stop Oil’s protests in the UK.

There is a feature where you get a water cone with a high level stream in the middle. That helps you shoot off stuck on food without getting splashed.

>>I find politics stressful and ultimately pointless. Greater powers are at work and I've found a remarkable level of peace and comfort by focusing on faith, family and community. This thread reminds us of that, renewing our spirts through faith and community.
Looking at the state of the world and politics I don't know how anyone can come to a conclusion other than we are in a spiritual battle for the soul of the world. The left wants to normalize mutilating children, eliminating women destroying western culture among other evil goals. That none of that is hyperbole shows were we are. We've moved well beyond arguing over normal politics.

I'd say that the USSS certainly did lay the foundation for crap security (probably on purpose with regards to Trump). But the local law enforcement built on that foundation with it's own crap work.

Back for the Pet Thread, though! Stirling and Dagny say hi! (Well, actually they say very little. Dagny is a silent creature, and Stirling only squeaks when it's important: food and water.)

Now it's exposed, and yet one more institution has been disgraced.
I know a lot of people are impatient for a popular uprising or something, but an orderly society like ours can only do that when every last option has been exhausted. Less developed societies riot every weekend and twice on Wednesdays, but that's not how we want to live.
What must happen is that everyone involved in a position of trust has to be compromised, and that's well underway. The head of the world's premier law enforcement agency said under oath that he wasn't sure if Trump was shot or hit by a spinter. Wray thought he was being clever, but what he actually did was discredit himself and the FBI as a whole, which is why someone from the FBI immediately ran out and said it was bullshit.

It's at the bottom of a hill, so too steep to get the Mule in there to dump rock. Dirt pile in front of it. I am going to end up shoveling the rock into 5 gallon buckets and carrying into the trench. Trench is only 50 feet but my warranty may expire before I finish.

To go along with that some whistleblower with a the SS Counter Surveilence division told Hawley that they were not there due to cutbacks and that they would have had responsibility outside the perimeter and would've cuffed Crooks if found with a range finder.
But as you can see the local cops assigned the area did nothing. Note this was supposed to be an area with NO civilians and secured by the police.

Since this is the coffee thread-
Our coffee maker committed seppuku, so the lovely and caffeineophilic Mrs naturalfake wanted a snazzier new one.
This was during Prime Days or whatever Amazon calls it, so I did a little research, and found these guys:
https://sca.coffee
These are the most insane coffee nuts in the world and have a standard for the "perfect" cup of coffee - the "Gold Cup". And have a list of the coffeemakers able to produce a "Gold Cup" of coffee - https://sca.coffee/certified-home-brewer
Anyway we almost got one of the ridiculously expensive Technicolorworms Copacabana coffeemakers cuz they had a very good sale price, buuuut-
But the delightful and Brevilleophilic Mrs naturalfake saw that they had the Breville Precision Coffeemaker on the Gold Cup list and wanted that one cuz more snazzy settings and...Breville.
I hope Breville never comes out with Breville's Robot Husband because if so, I'm out of a job!
Okay, how is coffee made in the Breville Precision Coffeemaker?
Welp, surprisingly it is better by a wide margin- more aromatic, smoother, less bitter, tastes better.
I'm not a big coffee guy and even I noticed. So, there you go, coffee people.

Grammie, I laughed at your comment; you said taking care of a colostomy bag wasn't as fun as it sounds. I took care of my husband in the same sitch--he had the whole setup. He was a proud guy who had never been sick before, so he treated this like it was our secret, bless him. Get all the free supplies you can from the hospital when they release the Rev! Blessings to you

It's only a 3 foot square pad for the septic system distribution box. Fun part will be filling the top drain field trench with rock. It's at the bottom of a hill, so too steep to get the Mule in there to dump rock. Dirt pile in front of it. I am going to end up shoveling the rock into 5 gallon buckets and carrying into the trench. Trench is only 50 feet but my warranty may expire before I finish.

One of the things they do in Colombia for various bulk harvests on the lower Andes slopes is to run a cable down the hill between poles, and slide the bags or buckets down it to the bottom from a pulley or a bight of cable, instead of humping the loads down on human or mule back.
You might consider stringing a 75-100' rope and sliding it down on a carabiner or a pulley. It requires a lot of work up front, but it might suck less than humping the entire pickup load down.

195 My 'healthcare provider' says I have high blood pressure. No I do not, the world is insane and that is what gives me high blood pressure. When I turn my playlist on and sit back and listen my 150/95 when she cuffs me, goes to 120/70.
What I appear to have is insufficient music in my life.

Higher blood pressure in a medical office is a real phenomenon. I have low blood pressure, my doctor jokes he has to make me nervous so we can get close to normal.
Which reminds me, I got a text reminding me I have to go in Monday for annual labs. Ugh.

>>Just got through listening to a longish interview between Tommy Robinson and Alex Jones. It appears the British people may have had just about enough of the islamists in the country.
Saw a video this morning of a group if Irish and English protesting in Belfast against a group of Islamist, illegals and antifa flag wavers. When was the last time the English and Irish protested on the same side?
Yea, I'd say we've moved a bit beyond normal politics.

I went to the 20th and had fun, but the turnout was low. No effort at one since. I suspect Facebook is the culprit, since people can just see what everyone is doing. I got off because I hate social media and of course politics are so toxic everyone's probably blocked everyone else.
I do enjoy going to Michigan State's Alumni Band reunion. It's nice to see the old crowd, play the songs and see how the student band looks (never as good as we were, of course).
A side benefit is that it forces me to get back into shape necause I don't want to be too half-assed about it.

If any of the kids I went to HS with remained in the area they are likely hard core leftists now. The few times I looked at any news from the local area there had been acts of antisemitism done at the school. And the area is (or was) heavily Jewish when I lived there.
My "life experiences" are probably totally alien to those people anyway.

Again, I'm not following events closely at all, but my sense is that because of the way the British elections work, it's possible to get a minority of the popular vote and a crushing parliamentary majority, which is what happened.
This forces the common people to realize that (to coin a phrase) they can't vote their way out of the situation. And given that the government's response to migrant violence is outlawing tableware, using extraordinary means to register one's dissent seems the only option.

Popped her ballon real quick.

Another curious development is that while Western government are becoming increasingly authoritarian, they've simultaneously wrecked the tools to enforce it.
The British, Canadian and now US armies are withering away. The remaining troops are so fed up that - given the chance - they'll likely join protestors rather than fire one them.

I don't think I've ever been to any reunion. I'm more of a bridge-burner in that regard.
Not that I had any particular problems in high school. The school was a big one and I had my group of friends, we all went on and did well.
I keep in touch with the ones I've wanted to stay in touch with.
A few years ago there was a high school reunion that I thought briefly about going to, but I couldn't think of anyone I particularly wanted to see.
I saw my old girlfriend at random about 10-15 years ago. They years had not been kind. Though my memory was of a fresh and pretty teenager, and I was confronted by an old(er) Mom. So, that may have been the reason.
anyway, so it goes.

The 9/11 terrorist deal was done with the full knowledge of the White House. Since the convening authority reports through DoD someone at the Pentagon knew it was happening. There is no doubt the White House knew as well. if you look at their statements, they are very cleverly crafted to avoid admitting the Executive Branch knew. The “deal” was done by ACLU types, who are sympathetic to the terrorists and are a large Democrat Party supporter. They are part of the food chain at GITMO because Democrats helped put them in place. It was a trial balloon, that could be wound back if the electoral politics went against them- and they did. I doubt their “rejection” of the deal is permanent, like most other positions the Democrats are suddenly rejecting. It’s insidious and insulting. All of it.

In October, when I awoke from surgery, first thing I said was, "Is Joe Biden still dead?" My daughter was concerned for my mental state. So, I followed that up with, "Am I alive?" Receiving an affirmative on that, I asked, "Am I still a guy?" Yes. Well, I'm okay then.

Socialism is a religion, a subset of the Marxist heresy.
Once you understand that, the reason why people persist with it makes more sense.
By labeling it "scientific," this allows practitioners to ban other expressions of religion as superstition, clearing the field for the faith.
This is why you can post a Sodomite flag but not a religious symbol in schools.

Crooks probably selected the route that would conceal him the best from the SS counter sniper teams behind Trump. The local cops stupidly tried to "keep track" of him instead of detaining him. They lost track and got worried when Trump went on stage and started flooding the AGR grounds looking for Crooks. They start looking on the roof then a lot of them go to the east side of the AGR building. I think that is where they were trying to get on the roof. Crooks runs by on the roof and points his rifle at the cop poking his head above the roof line. The cop falls, Crooks still runs to the south roof, sets up and starts shooting.
The spectators (not supposed to be there either) see the cops and start looking for anything, Eventually a spectator sees Crooks on the roof and starts yelling "he's on the roof" but it appears the cops already suspected him of being on the roof.
I can see it now, they were sitting in the "command center" wondering what happened to the suspicious character when one of them says "maybe he went on the roof" and they all start panicking.

The spectators (not supposed to be there either) see the cops and start looking for anything, Eventually a spectator sees Crooks on the roof and starts yelling "he's on the roof" but it appears the cops already suspected him of being on the roof.
I can see it now, they were sitting in the "command center" wondering what happened to the suspicious character when one of them says "maybe he went on the roof" and they all start panicking.
And yet...it never occurred to them to get Trump off the stage.

>>Again, I'm not following events closely at all, but my sense is that because of the way the British elections work, it's possible to get a minority of the popular vote and a crushing parliamentary majority, which is what happened.
>>This forces the common people to realize that (to coin a phrase) they can't vote their way out of the situation. And given that the government's response to migrant violence is outlawing tableware, using extraordinary means to register one's dissent seems the only option.
I don't disagree with that. This kind of thing has been happening in Parliamentary systems forever.
What I find more disturbing is what is being fought over. We are no longer arguing over traditional political issues, we are down to the basics of whether our western societies will survive or be replaced by a system of international totalitarianism.
Republican and Democrat are out the window. We are in a spiritual battle with evil and if you think that's over the top imagine 10 years ago one of the two parties in this country would be insisting that teachers have more rights over children than their parents and mutilating children is healthcare.

264 AH, remember, Socialism is true socialism as long as it seems to work, when it starts to fail everyone realizes that it is actually tainted by capitalism - after all Capitalism and the free market is the reason that regimes turn into authoritarian dictatorships.

Socialism is a religion, a subset of the Marxist heresy.
Once you understand that, the reason why people persist with it makes more sense.
By labeling it "scientific," this allows practitioners to ban other expressions of religion as superstition, clearing the field for the faith.
This is why you can post a Sodomite flag but not a religious symbol in schools.

When I was doing Ski Lift work we had a Kawasaki Mule that would go anywhere.
I've done some sketchy shit with it. Including backfilling trenches on as much as a 60% grade.
Never flipped it.
I've flipped snowmobiles and quads on such grades but never the Mule.
That low range 4 way cross lock on the trans is an awesome feature.

Good morning! I usually just lurk, but today I'm asking for payers for my friend Rich, and his family who are caring for him. He was on hospice for Huntington's disease, an inherited, progressive, fatal neurological disorder. He has gone off hospice and back onto palliative care so he can try a new medication. There is no cure but the hope is to decrease some of his symptoms and maybe buy more time. Thank you.

I only went to one with my wife. My childhood sweetheart was there with her husband who was now almost obese. He was in the buffet line directly in front of us and made a big deal about loading up his plate with salad. My wife, in a size 2 dress commented, "I'm skipping the salad, I eat it all the time."
I kinda felt sorry for my childhood sweetheart. I checked up on her during covid. She was deceased, some sort of ribbon on her FB page so I assume breast cancer got her. She had dumped fatty and remarried before she died. I don't pray often but when I do I say a little prayer for her.

the fight is over private creation of capital or public creation of capital which IIRC is the basic dialectic argument of Das Kapital. everything else is hiding the the fact that public creation of capital is as inefficient as storing broth in a net.

Of course it did, but they suppressed the instinct to do so because Trump opposes the communism they loved and were weaned on. They're still convinced that their vision will be so special that people will line up to be expropriated and that they won't need to kill so many.

"High light was having one of the cheer leaders grab my ass and ask me if I was married."
Snort. My husband went to one reunion with me and one of the more vacuous cheerleaders went up to him and said something about remembering him from the football team. Well, he did play football--but it was 1200 miles and seven years removed from my high school.
We both got a big chuckle out of that one.

Very well said, Jack. I’m pretty sure Trump might’ve more a democrat than republican in the 80s. But whatever he might’ve called himself then, it’s clear he loves the country and is on the side of western civilization. I’m quite sure there are no longer democrats like Daniel Patrick Moynihan… remember him? Great intellectual and he was starting to feel uncomfortable in the Dem party during the Clinton era. He was an FDR democrat (like Reagan ironically). Modern era Dems and a lot of Republicans (Paul Ryan, never Trumpers) are outright destroyers or grifters

“I’m not scared,” Hamori told reporters after her trouncing of Australia’s Marissa Williamson Pohlman. “I don’t care about the press story and social media. If she or he is a man, it will be a bigger victory for me if I win.”

It will be interesting to see how IDF veteran Shapiro is welcomed by the pro-Hamas wing of the Democratic Party.
After all, they are likely to protest IDF veteran Shapiro at all of his appearances, and the rioting in Chicago is likely to be even worse with IDF veteran Shapiro on the ticket.
Although the Democratic establishment is trying to erase the record of IDF veteran Shapiro, I have the feeling that much of the base of the Democratic Party will remember IDF veteran Shapiro's record.

Socialism is true socialism as long as it seems to work, when it starts to fail everyone realizes that it is actually tainted by capitalism
Socialism is dictatorship through willful compliance. It runs smoothly until the wealth is destroyed and/or people take notice and look to take heads.

“I’m not scared,” Hamori told reporters after her trouncing of Australia’s Marissa Williamson Pohlman. “I don’t care about the press story and social media. If she or he is a man, it will be a bigger victory for me if I win.”
I read that Khelif got overheard saying, "I'm 100% woman and those that don't believe me can s_ck my d_ck."
/ vowel choices include 'u' and "i". "Sick my duck" is wrong combo.

One stupid MFM bunt here and an equally-imbecilic replier re. the Russian prisoner swap:
Andrew Coyne @acoyne Aug 2
Of course the amazing thing is that Biden pulled off this delicate, complicated, multi-sided feat of diplomacy while he was (checks notes) “mentally incompetent.”
I have a feeling the Republican “coverup” line is going to have a lot less traction after this
Susan Bordson @susanbordson 20h Replying to @acoyne @MoodysGlobal
A whole lot of mainstream political press contributed to the innuendo about "dementia" or Parkinson's Disease.
Including main hosts at the Bulwark and veteran WH correspondents from the major news networks.

BTW, the rest of the thread is calling him the idiot he is.

What is really ironic about the left hating Israel is that it is exactly the kind of society they say they want.
Socialist style Kibbutzes, total acceptance of LGBTQ, government which includes all ethnic factions. Everything the left says it wants. Yet it wants to completely destroy the country and replace it with the most intolerant people on the face of the earth.

It will be interesting to see how IDF veteran Shapiro is welcomed by the pro-Hamas wing of the Democratic Party.
It's a sign of how far the Democratic Party has deteriorated that Rahm Emanuel did the same thing as Shapiro (volunteered for the IDF for a few months), and nobody noticed when Rahm was a powerful Democrat.
"Genocide Josh", it's time for your closeup!

I went to both my 20 year and 40 year high school reunions (yeah… I’m that old). They were both pleasant affairs… the 40 year especially. The years tend to mellow people and it was just interesting to catch up and find out what happened to everyone. All the petty rivalries of high school have long melted away. I went to a small HS in a small town so 100 students in my graduating class and less than half of them showed up both times. I’ll go to the 50 if I’m still around and if someone organizes it….

That has amplified questions surrounding Khelif’s status — she was disqualified by the Russian-led International Boxing Association at the 2023 world championships due to claims of having XY chromosomes and elevated testosterone levels.
In a case like this I would trust a "Russian-led" association more then most other nations.
Also the irony - in the 80s Heritage America made fun of Russia and the Eastern bloc for sending questionable women to the Olympics while Soviet America now applauds such decisions.

Robert Kraychik @rkraychik
Chris Carbert and Anthony Olienick are found not guilty of conspiracy to murder, guilty on the charge of unlawful possession of a firearm for a dangerous purpose, guilty of mischief over $5,000. Olienick was also found guilty of unlawful possession of an explosive device.
Katherin Beyak, Chris Carbert's lawyer, tells the judge that sentencing for the crimes her client has been found guilty of is "at or beyond time served" and requests a bail hearing as soon as possible.

Shapiro said, in writing, that he volunteered for the IDF - almost certainly peeling potatoes at an army base for six months, which is what the IDF does with foreign volunteers.
Of course, the Ds are furiously trying to obscure that, but I'm going to go with what IDF veteran Shapiro actually said.

A big part of the problem is that the left now sees Jews as Uber White Devils - which is ironic considering how many leftist Jews consider themselves an oppressed ethnic minority.
But another part of all this is the left doesn't care about anything it claims to. It is all about power. And Israel isn't doing the things the oligarchs running the west want it to do now.

Well I’ll leave with this happy thought for the day - there’s several ways this whole thing could go nuclear very quickly. And this administration just might want that.

That was my experience at by 40th. Pretty much everyone had moved on from their HS experience, and was trying to be pleasant. There were several girls there on whom I had immense crushes, and they hugged me and said they were glad to see me. There were some folks I was hoping to see who didn't attend. I suspect those who were unhappy with the way their lives turned out didn't want to be interrogated about how things had gone. I felt for them.

Obviously the USSS completely failed in handing over security of the AGR building to the local authorities. But I've identified 10 times the local authorities failed in securing the AGR site. Stuff from video evidence and from out of their own mouths.
So that tells me Trump was a target of opportunity by Crooks. It's quite possible that Crooks was stalking Trump to some degree (maybe his cell phone in DC is him at DC when Trump was in DC, etc).
The two big questions remain, how did he get his rifle on the roof and why did not the USSS prevent or remove Trump from the stage?
Considering Crooks would have to make it through the unknown security measures of the local police, I'm less inclined this was all planned out.
There were multiple opportunities for him to get caught by the po-po, which would've blown an entire conspiracy.

If anyone knows about peeling army potatoes, it's You Know Who!
Yeah, I read an article about that - foreigners volunteer for the IDF, and are put to work peeling potatoes.
That's because the foreigners are generally in the IDF for only a few months, the Israelis get extensive training in part because they have twenty-five years of reserve duty after their active service, and if the sh*t truly hits the fan, Israelis are more likely to be reliable.
No matter - in any army, the potatoes have to be peeled, so it is still honorable service.

I remember many years ago meeting a kid I knew from grade school who’d been a year older and who had bullied me some. When we met in our 20’s I was amused to see I had at least a foot on him now. (But he had became a very nice quiet guy)

The two big questions remain, how did he get his rifle on the roof and why did not the USSS prevent or remove Trump from the stage?
The second point is damning IMO and indicates some level of conspiracy. The local police radioed the SS and let them know there was a man on that roof WITH A RIFLE because he pointed it at them.
And whoever was in the SS command center did NOTHING with that info. There is no benign explanation for that.

The thing that bothers me the most right now is CVN Roosevelt moving in to the straights of Hormuz. If the Iranians were smart (but they’re not) they’d use their anti-ship ballistic missile capability and take that out on the first day.
The impression I got is that the Roosevelt was getting the hell out of the Persian Gulf and into the Arabian Sea to get more sea-room before things light up.

The story worth repeating is how last December, Doug Emhoff’s twitter account posted a story about how Hanukah came from a time Jews were hiding in caves from their enemies and only had their menorahs to keep them warm. That’s how “Jewish” he is.
For those who wonder, that’s on the same level as saying Christmas comes from the time that Jesus went up to the North Pole and hung out with Santa and Rudolph.

The only possible benign explanation is that they got dozens and dozens of false calls about people with guns, and perhaps thought that this was another.
Still, I would think any and all calls should be investigated.

He has the same lead he had over Biden this spring. If her camp is playing this game and stick to this position it’s because they know she’d be destroyed in a debate.

Powerline boys figure it's a "win no matter what" choice and it won't cost her Michigan. I have a sinking feeling. What are Shapiro's other major issues?
Shapiro has more then a few major issues.

Heh, what do you think Aircraft Carrier Groups do all year in the Atlantic and the Pacific fleets?
The Party Military is the globe's Rent-A-Thug.
You fly a foreign flagged vessel and don't like getting shot up by Huthis in the Persian Gulf? Then find some angle to manipulate the Powers That Be so they send their fleet out there and stand around to intimidate would-be attackers.
That is what The Party Military is only good for. Posing and pissing away money on DEI bullshit forgetting any other missions that may have had some actual social/economic value.

is there anyone else here with less than no desire to go to a class reunion?
Posted by: Catch Thirty-Thr33
Me. I didn't like most of my classmates in school. I have no interest in seeing them again at some awkward event. If I run in to one when I'm out I say hello. Small town, class of 1985, total number of graduates 85. At least 6 of my classmates have died. Two were AIDS related, one suicide, and there were other illnesses. One of my classmates spent several years in prison for arson. He burned down the local bowling alley. One was 8 months pregnant at graduation. She's still a whore. One is the principal of the high school we went to. My kids both graduated from the same school.

So just one debate? That’s ridiculous. There have always been 2 or 3. 2020 there were 2, 2016 three, 2012 three, 2008 two (I think), and on down the line.
Kamala is a tough grrrrl boss but afraid to debate more than once.

BREAKING - Pentagon has approved deployment of additional forces to the Middle East today to defend Israel and US military personnel:
Im sure those "additional forces" aren't free.

If her camp is playing this game and stick to this position it’s because they know she’d be destroyed in a debate. They’re better off ducking while claiming it’s Trump that won’t debate….

If rug-burned knees will not debate in person, Trump ought to get a cardboard cutout of her and play her 'policy' statements from her 2020 primary run and then counter each.
They could put the cutout on a chair.

Huh, so Trump has to debate twice and Kamala only has to debate once? Why aren't they planning at least two more presidential debates? Surely they are? Unless the Dems are counting on Trump being in jail.
Oh, and I'm sure Kamala will deliver some digs on that. (nyah-nyah-nyah voice) "You'll be appearing in court in 8 days for your convictions of 34 felonies..."

A murder case where some political pressure was put on a coroner to change findings from 'murder' to 'suicide'. Suspicion is its Shapiro. Pennlive blog has the details. I'm reading the article now.

They can only use the "Trump is punching down" emotional play once.
They need to hurry up and schedule this while the Domestic Violence showcased by the Paris Olympics is still in the talk circuit.

If my father were still alive I could say the same.
My parents are older than Vichy France.
