The Morning Rant
On the Left, people point to January 6 as well as data purporting to show that most political violence comes from the Right. After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, The Economist ran a piece claiming to explain “what the data show,” which suggested that most political violence was a Right-wing phenomenon. Other publications cited studies from the Center for Strategic & International Studies or the CATO Institute. The problem is, the “data” that these outlets have been relying on is deeply flawed. One of the major sources is the Prosecution Project, an initiative of the University of Cincinnati, which analyzes felony criminal cases involving political violence and sorts them by ideology. “The project examines criminal complaints, indictments and court records, looking for crimes that seek ‘a socio-political change or to communicate’ to outside audiences,” per The Economist. “Its data show that extremists on both left and right commit violence, although more incidents appear to come from right-leaning attackers.” Yet if you pull up the data center yourself, you can see immediately that it is deeply flawed.Read the entire thing, and check her work! Because that is what sane people do. This is a vitally important analysis, for the obvious reasons, but also because it proves that what we all suspected was in fact the truth...we cannot believe anything the left says...and the left is everywhere. [Yeah...Ace beat me to this. I figured his shelving accident would give me enough lead time, but I was wrong.]

I'm not sure if there's a clearer example of "the right's words are violence, the left's violence is speech," than the categorization of political violence being pushed.

I suspect that most violence is committed by zombies and the mutated.
To that end...here's the new trailer of the upcoming "Resident Evil" movie, written and directed by the same guy who wrote and directed "Weapons".

-- Did not include 9/11 deaths
-- classified ALL anti-semitic crimes as done by whites
-- included non-political/"hate" crime for whites, such as shooting at a meth lab
Then there's the fact that one of these three most cited organizations is the SPLC, who we now know was in the business of creating "nazi" hate crimes to goose their numbers.

I have to admire the leftards and their ability to manufacture data and media stories the moment that something happens in reality to expose who they are.
I do wish our side would go as 4-wall as possible on these incidents every single time, and expose the left for who they are.

Every other assassination has been a lefty: Tyler James Robinson, the three would be Trump assassins, and on and on...

And don't stop here. Start looking at the university research groups that do this as well. Whenever one group is found to be deliberately doing this, stripvthat group of all funding and make them ineligible for funding for the next ten or so years.

Anyways - ART - this actually just came up a few minutes ago. This is from Gemini. Some interesting stories from the art world I'm looking forward to learning more about.
Section 3: Visual & Surface Arts
Theme: The struggle to capture light, the danger of pigments, and the obsession with the perfect line.
The Lead White Poison: The "Venetian Ceruse" that gave painters the perfect white but slowly paralyzed and killed them.
Monet’s Cataracts: How the artist’s failing eyes turned his late water lilies into abstract explosions of red and purple.
The Blue of the Virgin: The extreme cost of Lapis Lazuli, often more expensive than gold, reserved only for the holiest figures.
The Anatomy Lessons: How Da Vinci and Michelangelo risked arrest and disease to dissect cadavers for "perfect" muscle sketches.
The Secret of the Camera Obscura: The controversial theory that the Old Masters used "optical cheats" to achieve photographic realism.
Mummy Brown: The macabre history of a pigment literally made from ground-up Egyptian mummies.

The Speed of Van Gogh: Painting Starry Night in a single feverish session while confined to an asylum.
The Vermeer Grid: The obsessive, pin-and-string method used to lock down perfect 3D perspective on a 2D canvas.
The Graphite Smugglers: When high-quality graphite was so rare it was guarded by the British Crown like a military secret.
The Watercolor Gamble: A medium that allows no mistakes—one drop of water can ruin a month of work.
The Daguerreotype Mist: The early photographers who sat in rooms filled with mercury vapor just to develop a single image.
The Charcoal Burners: The ancient, dirty process of turning willow branches into the artist’s most basic tool.
The Cinnabar Red: The "Dragon’s Blood" pigment that was highly toxic but gave the world its most vibrant vermilion.
The Stipple Obsession: Artists who created entire masterpieces using nothing but millions of tiny ink dots.

When I played D&D ages ago it was playing a game where you are a character in a LOTR world - a medieval world with non-human intelligent creatures, magic, and grand evil threats.
But I see a common way people play now is some weird thing where they pretend to seduce NPCs played by your friends and deal with very modern sort of issues.
Out: We must journey through the swamp of doom to get the book of knowledge to defeat Garmon the Dark Lord before he enacts the ritual of destruction
In: I role for seduce against the bisexual female Tiefling with the big boobs in the tavern (note the DM is male, the player is male)

" I am one of the 535 most powerful people in this country. "
535, huh?
Who knew that there is such a shortage of loud, hateful, racist, obnoxious fat black women-
that they've gained in value like dry-wall cooper wiring?
Who could possibly have predicted?

Yeah, and I love self-checkout. No small talk with the cashier, and if I am just grabbing five items, it’s faster.
People bawl and whine about that like it’s some massive chore. If you so desperately need the chit chat and are in too much agony to bag yourself, go through a traditional checkout line.

Absolutely correct. Well, and the occasional cashier that I like. (I took years ago to placing my groceries on the conveyor in the order/by the grouping in which I would like them bagged. Just to prevent the clerk from putting the cans of soup on top of the loaf of bread.)

No, seriously, I’m not used to that take. I’m used to people bitching about it like it’s some affront to humanity. And, working in a store as my side hustle, I 100% agree with the business standpoint. It’s worth remembering that of every $1 you spend, 0.01 of that is profit to the store. They must find ways to cut corners and get you to buy more. If they could miracle the product onto the shelves at night, they’d do it in a heartbeat.

Having spent some considerable time in health care waiting rooms, I grew a little tired of seeing people sitting around, isolated, as though they were in a funeral parlor. So, I just started striking up conversations with perfect strangers. Most folks are amenable to that, given a friendly approach. I think the key is to find some introductory approach that has nothing to do with the immediate circumstance. "How are you folks today?" works well in the South. Traffic and weather are always topics to get things under way. Before you know it, you'll find out where they are from, where they went to school etc.
This almost always results in nice conversations.

The Morning Report — 4/ 30/26
center>
Good morning kids. Unfortunately, my dear wonderful wife is addicted to listening to the inbred mouth-breathing credibly-accused intern-murderer Joe Scarborough and his blonde bimbo concubine Mitzi Baryshnikov on MSNSDAP, who almost daily give a platform to deranged scumbag racial arsonist Al Sharpton. While I do my very best to tune all of them out today the wailing and moaning of feces-to-the-face bootblack Sharpton are music to my ears as he flips his sewer-lid medallion over yesterday's glorious victory of America and civilization over his and his ilk's multigenerational strangulation of them.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday sharply limited the ability of states to consider race when drawing congressional maps, a decision that could reshape the balance of power in Washington and intensify redistricting battles ahead of the 2026 midterms. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito struck down Louisiana’s congressional map, which included two majority-black districts, as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. In the court’s 36-page opinion, Alito emphasized that “the Constitution almost never permits the Federal Government or a State to discriminate on the basis of race,” framing the central question as whether compliance with the Voting Rights Act justifies such actions. For the court’s conservative wing, the answer was no.Alito and the five other justices were absolutely correct, moral and courageous in upholding the ideals of our Constitution and the ideals behind the concept that undergirds our society, "American Exceptionalism": that is that our founding and society are the exception to every other society in history, which was based on tyranny and oppression of the citizenry. No doubt this is a big victory but I have a niggling (racist?) feeling that SCOTUS threw us a bone with this insofar as they've already made up their minds that they are going to preserve, protect and defend the bastardization of the 14th Amendment that allows foreigners to spawn on our shores to proclaim the babies as American citizens and then magically transmogrify the parents, uncles, aunts, cousins and others born elsewhere as Americans and ship them all in to become Democrat voters and welfare recipients. For sure the win yesterday is a gut punch for the Democrat/Leftists, but losing birthright citizenship would potentially be catastrophic for them. Unfortunately, Dobbs, Bruen and this ruling aside, SCOTUS and every court in the land cannot be trusted to do the right thing. Especially given what President Trump and many decent ordinary Americans have had to endure in the wake of J/6, School board and Pro-life protests that saw them persecuted by judges and prosecutors at the behest of Biden/Obama and their minions. With the clock running down on the Trump miracle administration, there is also talk about Alito and or Clarence Thomas retiring, who can the President turn to or trust to advise him as to replacements?
On Wednesday, the 2nd U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that the president had raised his arguments too late.I'll complete the thought for the hack-in-black..."If only he didn't survive that assassination attempt, we'd hear the case... And then rule against him after they shoved the orangeman casket into the ground." And of course we have this that undergirds my fears about Birthright Citizenship:
The three liberal judges — all of whom usually support pro-migration claims — suggested they might block Trump’s actions on the claim that Trump may be partially motivated by racially discriminatory “animus.”Finally there's this insanity. And note who the judge is.
Brnovich,Judge Susan Brnovich of the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona on Tuesday said that the state’s voter registration list is not subject to requests from the U.S. Attorney General. Brnovich, a Trump appointed-judge, dismissed the case with prejudice because an amended complaint would be “legally futile.” The dismissal follows after after judges have ruled against the Justice Department’s attempted to obtain at least 30 states and the District of Columbia’s constituents date of birth, address, driver’s license numbers, and partial Social Security numbers. The Trump administration seeks the data to ensure states are complying with federal election laws and to check the citizenship status of individuals on the voter rolls.Gevalt. Alito and Thomas cannot and will not hang on forever, despite Thomas knowing full well where this nation is headed. God bless him for hanging on. Every second he lasts gives us a fighting chance, however brief.
Have a great day! One final totally random musing... Color me jaded but let's say that if I were a late night host and quipped "The Meathead got a meat cleaver" about Rob Reiner, I don't think I'd get the guffaws or invocation of the First Amendment that homunculus Kimmel got. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

In fact, he was no more a robber baron then the entire class of hard-nosed businessmen who in the 1800s became America’s first generation of today’s billionaires, using the free enterprise system to gather wealth to themselves while building vast industries that employed millions and made the lives of everyone better and more prosperous.
Who really was Jay Gould?

Just say it’s because they’re Democrats.
The people who safeguard and interpret the constitution basically said, “Screw this document!”
Republicans dismantling the Voting Rights Act while calling Democrats racist. 🤷🏻♂️ And the number of “dems are the party of kkk and Jim Crow” posts I’ve seen today is crazy.
Voting places by population numbers only. Close all the country voting sites. Maybe mail in ballots only. SCOTUS just ruled USPS is immune from lawsuits for intentionally not delivering mail...
Problem is that there are more GOP opportunities to gerrymander than there are Dem ones. I'm not saying don't do it, but the numbers suggest they if everyone does it the GOP comes out ahead in the end.
Why are Democrats fighting by the rules when Republicans are using asymmetrical warfare? Maybe arrest the ICE agents like they said they would, for starters? Gerrymander as hard as the GOP has? Just ignore rulings and do what they want (that helps their states) like the entire GOP does?

Hasan is a violent communist who wants blood in the streets and wealth redistribution, but thinks he'll be allowed to keep his wealth because he'll be part of fhe ruling elite. He was born into wealth, while Shoe had a more middle-class upbringing, which changes perspective immensely.

If I recall my VDH history correctly, the Spartan blockade of Athens during the Peloponnesian War led directly to their surrender…. Probably not the only time such a strategy has been successful.
Now that I think about it, General Wainwright surrendered our forces on Corrigedor in WWII for essentially the same reason. So it definitely works

But that model would be very bad for the left as they overloaded in the cities. So one could imagine a state evenly divided into those districts with the exact same number of voters where the results are something like
Rural: 75R 25D
Suburban: 65R 35D
Urban: 10R 90D
Equal number of voters, the Rs take the region 2-1

Near the start of the war the Spartans chased the Athenians into their walls as Athens believed they couldn't win a land battle in Attica, but the Athenians controlled the seas so they could send their soldiers abroad and get food from their colonies and allies.
Later the Spartans took away Athen's control of the seas. Now without the ability to farm locally or import food they faced starvation and surrendered.

The racism she, and her co-dissenters, possess is the kind of deep, ingrained and unquestioned racism built over a lifetime.
Where it has become so natural, that the racist beliefs are shortened to "common sense" and "everybody knows."
Look at her "wheel" example and tell me it's not racist in every aspect.
See, everybody knows that whites should not--and will not--vote for a black candidate.
Everybody knows that blacks are so inferior that they can only be represented by blacks (if they deserve representation at all).
And, everybody knows, since the law demands blacks be given a vote, it's best to confine and constrict them to one district, to prevent them from having any voice or power in the remaining 5.
That way, the whites can freely run the whole state.
And if the blacks need of anything from the state, the whites will see to it that their needs are met.
That's the kind of racism even the most racist former slave owner of the antebellum era would endorse.

Years ago I was reading a thread where some lefty had pulled by state numbers on obesity and the lefties were having a good laugh about all those fat southerners. No wonder they vote wrong they can't even understand they can't eat junk food all day and waddle around!
Another poster, not me, pulled the county data and referenced it by racial makeup. His data showed the counties that were mostly white were average in terms of obesity but the ones that were mostly minority ? Bigguns.
Now suddenly it was no longer funny to laugh at those fatties.
And in the years since then it is interesting the left has embraced "body positivity" in general and an argument that being obese is a core part of being black (which should be offensive as hell to black people)...but they still like laughing at the trope of fat rednecks.

About a year ago, Scott Adams had a revelation about political messaging of Dems vs. GOP. He started it with defining what types of entertainment/literature women consume (love) vs. men, then he showed how the Dem messaging mirrored womens' preferred entertainment (victim stories), while GOP/Trump mirrored men's entertainment (hero's journey).

WASHINGTON — Justice Department prosecutors in the Biden administration discussed their desire to target Catholic nuns, text messages shared with The Daily Wire show.
Communications obtained by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) show Joseph Cooney and Molly Gaston texting one another in February 2021 as they scoured media coverage of January 6. The texts specifically reference a New York Times photo of religious sisters who attended the “Stop the Steal” rally, wearing traditional habits and veils, as well as big Trump scarves around their necks.
“I would like to take a special assignment of finding and prosecuting them,” Gaston wrote to Cooney.
“I’m with you,” responded Cooney. “Although I’d like to prosecute any nun who still wears the head habit.”
“Hahaha,” his fellow DOJ prosecutor responded.

In Gerrymandering Case, Pennsylvania Supreme Court Releases New Map for 2018 Elections
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Monday released a new congressional district map, upending familiar boundaries, renumbering districts across the state and giving a potential boost to Democrats in the 2018 House elections.
The district is composed primarily of Delaware County (approx. 80%), with added portions of South/Southwest Philadelphia and a small slice of southeastern Montgomery County (e.g., Bryn Mawr, Ardmore).
But now the socialists are on the move endorsing "everyman" - 'educators,' entrepreneurs, small business owners (especially non-profit types) and physicians are also moving into politics.
For example, Hasan Piker endorsed 'unapologetically progressive' Rep. Rabb in Philly for the 3rd Congressional District race. OTOH: Philadelphia Inquirer, Apr. 21st, 'Three members of Congress are backing Ala Stanford in the Philly primary, exposing a divide among Democrats'

Philadelphia Inquirer, April 27, 2026, Congressional hopeful Ala Stanford’s Black Doctors Consortium was fueled by $13 million in public funding
An Inquirer review of public records related to the Black Doctors Consortium also found deficient recordkeeping and incomplete tax returns.
Dr. Stanford didn't appear at WHYY's live, 3rd Congressional District Democratic primary debate, yesterday.
Also yesterday: BillyPenn @ WHYY: Dozens of Philly mail ballots have flaws. Here’s how to find out if yours has problems.
Mail voters can check the list of “undeliverable” ballots. Also, the deadline to register to vote is Monday.
Such coincidences!
I know. It seems to matter little with ALL candidates for Philly's open Congressional race for universal healthcare, race centered programs, anti-ICE, anti-funding Israel, and few or no Republicans (the latter applicable in Philly & now, too, our Congressional district) in the picture.
But in much more bougie areas, such as across the river in 'Jersey:' New Jersey Globe, Justice Democrats add Hamawy to 2026 slate' Left-wing group’s endorsement puts national spotlight on NJ-12 race

I worry that, even not connecting a smart TV to the internet or Wifi, it'll connect to neighbors' WiFi just to communicate back to the mothership. I doubt they even give you the option to turn off WiFi, thus leaving your Smart TV open to hacking. I definitely don't want a TV that has cameras built-in...those are frickin' scary...

My historical project to chronicle the late, great Lacey's show career continues. Sometimes it's quite odd. She was in 378 shows as a special. Some judges I thought she had been under a great many times may have only been once or twice. She showed 8 times at Midwest Borzoi Club specialties and never won. She showed 8 times at the National Specialty and only won once, her very last show. And some of the results where she didn't win I shake my head; how could the judge put that one up?

Like, for instance, they come up with their recommendations by keeping track of what you watch and serving up similar media to you.
Also, every time the software is updated you have to either run through the same list and check yourself out of the feature, or go into Settings and make sure they haven't opted you back in.
How well this really keeps the spying down is unknown to me, but the options are there.
They are really convenient if you watch YouTube or other streaming services, which is why I don't really mind them.
They aren't going to get much more info off of me than we normally get off of surfing the web.
That's also part of the reason Smart TVs are so cheap.
All of the pre-installed apps and Ads you see on the Home page, are paid for and bring down the cost, similar to pre-built PCs, and Android smartphones with their pre-installed junkware.

For both systems, you go through a couple of rounds of measurement, adjustment, and rounding.
Imperial measurements are always rounded DOWN to the nearest 3". Metric measurements are always rounded DOWN to the nearest 0.1 m. In both cases, rounding DOWN ensures that the maximum allowable distance will be well within a margin of error.

She had always been interested in animals. She wanted to be a vet (and would have been a good one) but she came from a time and parents who said, no, you're going to get married.
She acquired her first Borzoi in 1971 (Soyara's Lanishka). Her lines were wiped out twice, once by PRA and once by Hashimoto's. She divorced in the early 90's and returned to Australia. She hated it and came back to the US.
In 1994, we were married. I don't do any showing myself, but I've given her the resources and support so that she could become an important person in the national breed club and show three dogs (Lacey, Dutch and Delilah) to #1 national breed rankings.

SSL certificates for "smilies" (emoticons or custom forum emoji) usually refer to securing the image files, message board, or website that hosts them to prevent mixed content errors, where secure pages fail to load insecure images.
Securing Smilies and Images
If your smilies are not displaying, it is often due to an "ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH" error, where the images are loaded via HTTP instead of HTTPS. To fix this, the server hosting the smiley images must have a valid SSL certificate.

Wednesday Night ONT - April 29, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. The bar is open.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace and Megyn free zone. Please. Will you be smarter after reading this ONT? Will you be better looking? Will you be more fun at parties? Will you lose weight? Will you be wealthier? Will you be more fashionable? Maybe you should just settle for being whelmed. [Top photo: Somewhere unknown in Ireland that reminds me of Stonehenge but doesn't look anything like Stonehenge, Jenny Rose photo]Barry Larkin, now a veterinary surgeon from Melbourne, planned to interupt the torch relay along with eight other students from St John's College, believing that the Olympic Flame received too much reverence. The fake torch was hardly a master forgery, which makes the fact that it was passed off as the real deal all the more humorous. The fake was made using no more than a wooden chair leg that had been painted silver, holding at top a plum pudding can. As for the flame, which proved to be far from a reverent affair, this was created using a pair of underpants, soaked in kerosene. After a shaky start, Larkin ran with the torch to Sydney Town Hall protected by police who thought that he was the official runner, where he presented the torch to the Mayor of Sydney, Pat Hills. As the mayor was unprepared, he did not look at the torch and went straight to his speech. While Hills was talking, Larkin walked quietly away, avoiding attention. Hills didn't realise at all that the torch was fraudulent until someone whispered in his ear and told him it was a fake. Hills looked around for Larkin, but by now Larkin had merged into the crowd and escaped.What could be a better tribute to the Olympic spirit than unauthorized flaming underwear on a chair leg?
A bill introduced in the Ohio House would designate the Loveland Frogman as the state's official cryptid. A bill sponsored by Reps. Tristan Rader, D-13th district, and Jean Schmidt, R-62nd district, calls for the local legend to be named Ohio's official state cryptid. House Bill 821 describes the Loveland Frogman as "a frog-like, bipedal creature standing approximately four feet tall." The legend dates back to 1972, when two police officers reported spotting a large frog-like creature on different nights. The Frogman made headlines again in 2016, when a couple claimed to have seen the massive amphibian while playing Pokemon Go. The sighting prompted Mark Mathews, who purports to be one of the police officers who spotted the Frogman in 1972, to come forward with the whole story. Mathews said the first officer to spot the Frogman, Ray Shockey, told him he saw the creature near the Totes boot factory and the Little Miami River. Mathews said he was skeptical of the story, but a few days later he was driving in the same area when he saw something run across the road. He ended up shooting the creature and putting it in his trunk to show Shockey, who confirmed it was the same animal he had seen. The animal was a 3- to 3 1/2-foot-long iguana that was missing its tail.I don't know whether to be impressed that the Ohio legislature has solved the rest of the world's problems so that they have time for such things, horrified that the Ohio legislature is passing legislation to to formally embrace a hoax, or pleased that people so stupid are busy doing things like this instead of doing harm by "fixing" things elsewhere. At least in North Carolina, they're spending their time looking for something that actually exists. Although I'm not sure how big a missing pig needs to be to warrant making the news. To be fair, the report does say the pig has "absolute unit" status.
The world's largest Tyrannosaurus Rex statue needs a new home. Tyra, located in the Canadian Badlands, is a gigantic kitschy roadside attraction that, like the dinosaurs she is based on, is facing extinction. The 86-foot-tall T. rex that weighs in at around 145,000 pounds - significantly taller and heavier than any real-life T. rex - has called the small Canadian town of Drumheller her home since 2000. Visitors have been able to climb inside the giant dinosaur and stand in its open jaws that double as a viewing platform. Unfortunately, according to the Calgary Herald, Tyra is facing a problem no dinosaur has ever faced in their collective many millions of years on Earth: her lease is set to expire. In 2029, the current terms suggest that the structure could be dismantled. Local officials understand that it is a bit of a logistical nightmare to just up and move a giant dinosaur monolith, but so far, no one has come up with a viable solution for moving such a behemoth. In the meantime, Tyra underwent a structural assessment to ensure that she is stable and safe, and local officials invested over $300,000 into repairing and restoring the local landmark, ensuring that if Tyra does in fact change locations, she will be in relatively good shape.Maybe AOP needs a new lawn ornament? Tyra lives just down the road. If anyone can engineer a giant T-Rex transfer, it is AOP. Hat tip: Blaster
You would be surprised to learn that almost 69% of the US mushroom production occurs in the borough of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. It is a small town of about 6000 people, but mushroom-growing facilities around town produce almost 451 million pounds of mushrooms annually (2024). 451 million pounds of mushrooms would occupy about 45 American football fields or 35 soccer fields. The dollar value of mushroom production in the US is roughly $ 1 billion per year.
China is the undisputed leader in mushroom production. China accounts for 93% of the world's global mushroom production.
The history of mushroom farming in Kennett Square dates back to 1885, when a grower obtained mushroom spores from Europe and began growing mushrooms. This concentration of mushroom farming in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, is due to historical immigration patterns, primarily of Italians in the 1950s or 1960s, easy availability of horse manure for the mushroom substrate, and easy access to the Philadelphia and New York markets.Source
Keyshun Jones was fired from the store in Grapevine, outside Dallas, last November, but authorities say he would repeatedly slip back in, enter food orders on the register, and refund them to his personal credit card. Jones was taken into custody on April 17 after allegedly ringing up 800 orders of mac and cheese. Investigators began investigating the cheesy fraud after the restaurant reported hundreds of phony refunds. Jones faces charges of property theft, money laundering and evading arrest. He faces up to 10 years in state prison, if convicted - where he'll also be able to order mac & cheese, according to the menus on the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.Just imagine the jailhouse conversation: "What are you in for?" "Money laundering" "Yeah? Wow. That's sounds big. What did you do?" "I stole 800 orders of mac and cheese."

The State of AI Traffic report by Human Sec found automated traffic grew nearly eight times faster than human activity in 2025.
"The internet as a whole was created with this very basic notion that there's a human being on the other side of the computer screen, and that notion is very rapidly being replaced," said Stu Solomon, CEO of Human Security.

Excerpt from the story:
The dinosaur, a Sauroposeidon (which means Earthquake God Lizard), was park of the Field Station: Dinosaurs theme park in Derby, Kansas. A storm pushed through the park April 25, which is when the nearly 100-foot long dinosaur caught fire, according to the Derby Fire Department.

Come to think of it, the car was pretty shaggy, too.

Might be the frequency they operate on. For a while GM had one frequency, Ford another, and so on. I think there were about 4, maybe 5 different frequencies used by various manufacturers.
I had all 4 in my wife's Ford Explorer (2020) replaced this past summer. They are a different frequency than my Chevy Colorado pickup.
It could also be a simple matter of "arming" it via some weird shit you do in the vehicle; like tap the brake 3 times, turn the key off/on some magical number of times, offer up a chicken, etc.

You need to use a scan tool with the proper software to access and alter the TPMS program in the car's on-board computer. Code readers cannot do it.
On my 2008 Suburban, I went with TPMS sensors for years. Finally found some affordable ones on Amazon, bought a set, and had them installed in the rims when I bought a set of new tires. The tire shop had to use the aforementioned scan tool to make the car recognize them. Fuckers barely lasted a year. Last year, I bought a set of near-new Michelins from a friend, mounted them myself, and shitcanned all the TPMS sensors. They were all swollen and split. Bad batteries, I guess.
There used to be something called "virtual TPMS" which I think was really better.

You've heard of mushroom management : Keep 'em in the dark and feed 'em shit. Coal mines are great for the "dark" part.
One of the major dangers in raising mushrooms is contamination of the beds with non-wanted spores. There are a huge number of mushroom species in the world, but only a relative handful are not poisonous to one degree or another. The last thing a mushroom operation wants is a stray airborne spore from one of the "bad" mushrooms getting in among their crop. Coal mines are almost ridiculously easy to isolate.
I've mentioned in the past that my wife is a coal miner's (step)daughter. There is a mushroom operation about 5 miles from her parent's house in a defunct coal mine.

You would be surprised to learn that almost 69% of the US mushroom production occurs in the borough of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. It is a small town of about 6000 people, but mushroom-growing facilities around town produce almost 451 million pounds of mushrooms annually (2024).
Surprised? Not really.

A minor league baseball team in Pennsylvania will celebrate an unusual local cryptid this season when, for one night only, they will take to the field as the Squonk. Said to inhabit the northern forests of the state, the curious-looking critter was first detailed in the 1910 book 'Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods.' The "always unhappy" Squonk was said to sport "misfitting skin" that made it so unsightly and uncomfortable that the pig-like creature constantly wept about its unfortunate state and could "dissolve itself in tears" should it be frightened or the need to escape from capture arise.

Why yes, that is what I do. I get a "check tire monitor system" text message in the display panel, and that can be turned off by hitting the trip odometer rest button. But the amber tire alert lamp stays lit. It is easily ignorable.
I ran into the text-wall limit when referring to "virtual" TPMS. That system used the ABS wheel-speed sensors to compute a running count of wheel revolutions on a per-wheel basis. With 4 like tires, all the wheels should do an exactly equal number of revolutions over a long-enough time span (so that corners and road bends are averaged out). If one wheel consistently records more or fewer revolutions than its mates, it might be under or over inflated.

And what's with the tire pressure stuff? This isn't a space shuttle or a B-52 or something. Know you tires, visually check them out frequently, occasionally use a $12 tool to check the pressure. Are we done here?

They did, until they started using whole saplings as their staff and those were three to four times taller than were they.
Point were deducted for inauthentic costuming, shall we say.
The funniest part was that they would put down "their" staff to finally help collect wood and when they'd return to get it, anguished cries of "Who has my walking stick?" predominated in the conversation.
I larfed, which doubtlessly disappointed some of them who, I expect, figured that I would sort out the ownership question.

I need new tires, and suspect they will attempt to upsell new sensors-- which I will decline-- but damn, that light is annoying. Especially since *every* previous instance of it illuminating (so far) has been a false alarm!
Posted by: JQ at April 30, 2026 12:09 AM (rdVOm)
Ignore it? No, I flip it the middle finger when I see it. lol
It started with the light. I did the whole bullshit ritual of resetting it, which on the chevy colorado was like ball surgery with a rusty soup can lid. 15 minutes later the light came back on. Ok, a sensor is probably bad, but which one? Change them all @ $75 each and then find out oh something in the computer is fucked, so sorry. Anyway, one day I was checking the air pressure, and the chucklehead before me had some shitty metal valve stem caps. One must have oxidized and fused to the threads of the stem. I went to unscrew it and the entire threaded part of the stem broke off exposing the valve core. It wasn't leaking, but i couldn't put air in it either. Soooo, get a new sensor for $75 and STILL be staring at the light on the dashboard? Fuck no, it needed tires anyway, so out they came

TPMS is a heavy-handed attempt to force habitually unobservant people to check their tires. Unfortunately, the implementation has been very bad.
You what would work? Mount four of those el-cheapo non-contact infrared temperature sensors, one at each wheel. Underinflated tires run hot, and very hot as they approach failure. You could have software that compares measured temperature of each tire and compares to what should be expected, given ambient temperature, road speed, and duration of trip. If a sensor gets obscured by mud or dirt, or suffers road damage, system could report "sensor error, XX wheel, see dealer". I would make the sensors standardized to a very few types, and as easy to replace as a light bulb.

Right, its called the old way, and it works. I can't even work on new harleys because they have become such a technological nightmare you need $1000's of dollars of scanning tools. Up until not that long ago the repair manuals all had a wiring section, basically the schematics and some trouble shooting for certain electrical goodies. Now? lolol, yeah right. Thats not even in the books anymore noooooo you need to buy an electrical manual. Its 2" thick, it's $100, will be useless when the next year's model comes out, and is all flow charts and requires computer programs and break out boxes that you need to update the adapter plugs for newer models. The shops I work out of all said fuck this.
Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at April 30, 2026 12:47 AM (snZF9)
At least it will be there to prompt me to check the pressure more often, I suppose. LOL
I go to the dealer for oil changes. (The idjit-lube places have mostly gone out of business locally. Wonder why? *not really*)
Of course, dealer always tries to push another $600-700 "service" each visit. I know they'll want to do the tires, so will get a bid from my fave tire shop before next oil change.

Hand cranks and hot-tube ignition FTW! Did you ever watch that youtube video by a guy that made hot-tube ignition for a Briggs & Stratton mower engine? He used stack of those little "anti-fouling adaptors they used to sell for spark plugs - basically an inch-long steel tube with a 14 mm male thread on one end, and a female on the other. I think he ended up stacking about six of them. The engine started on its spark plug, and once warmed up, the tube was hot enough to act as a glow plug, and fire the mixture. And the engine would run on practically any fuel.

Smart truckers used to walk around their rigs and trailers with a bat or hammer, and thump all the tires on the sidewall. A properly-inflated tire gives a slightly musical "dunk" sound, while a low tire makes more of a flat slap. Any tire that "thumps" with an odd note is worthy of closer inspection.

There is a definite thing like that going on with the harley. I have 5 of them. My newest is a 1997. My oldest is an 1987. I have an '87, an '88, a '92, a '94, and a '97. They all have the EVO engine. That engine was made from 1984 1/2 up to 1999. I have them because I worked on 100's of them, and they are solid. They are real reliable, go a shitload of miles, they don't leak, and they are simple. Well, its slowly catching on now and people are looking to buy them. You can find nice ones in the $5000 area and people sucking them up.

My guess is that you have a ground noise problem. When I was at NASA we had a computerized piece of test equipment in the lab that was throwing intermittent faults. I was watching it when I heard a refrigerator motor start up and the test machine threw a fault. Bad ground on the refrigerator injected noise into the test machine.

I had a real shock the other day when I found 2 morels (one was a double, so more like 3) growing in our front yard.
We planted an apple tree there some yrs ago. They apparently like to grow around elm, ash or apple trees. Living in wht would have been a savannah area along the river the spores must have been there until the right conditions caused them to pop up. First time and we've lived here 38 yrs.

I am now the recipient of the most-obscure, least-transferable credential around. Having taken the courses, passed the test and done the qualifying work, I am now a Certified Steward for American Kennel Club dog shows.*
Stewards have a little-heralded but very important job. Conformation dog shows run on a tight schedule and stewards perform the multitude of small tasks working with judges and exhibitors to keep things going. Without us, the proceedings would quickly grind to a crawl.
I've been doing it for 30 years, but the certification now puts me on a list that clubs can use when they need someone who knows what they're doing.
It's very busy work lasting all day, done for little more than a deposit in the Favor Bank, perhaps a free lunch, and being able to say "bitch" in a loud voice.
(*When you're retired, even little successes are gratifying)

Surprised the Goldens don't get brain freeze from gobbling those cones down in one bite.
We once gave our little puppy Knight a small bowl of ice cream. He took a big bite of it and immediately his eyes bulged out from the shock. He desperately tried to spit it out but it froze to the roof of his mouth.
I'm ashamed to say we were not of much help to him because we were both collapsed with laughter. Poor boy!

I felt guilty today for getting frustrated taking care of Ralphy. He wants to be with me every minute and now that I'm working on the computer I have to carry him up and down the 8 wooden steps. He's fine on carpetted steps.
I'm still getting used to this. Snowflake came in early tonight. She usually comes in around 11pm and I put her out in the middle of the night. Screw it. Both of them on the bed and movies...

I got a box of mini cake cups, by Joy Cone. I thought they'd be perfect for a small sized ice cream cone for myself, like the Dairy Queen kid size or something. Turns out, they're just slightly bigger than a sewing thimble, so they have become the doggie ice cream cones.
About a tablespoon of ice cream fills the cone, and they think they've really gotten something special.

Hexie and Allie both seem to realize something is wrong with me and have both comforted me in their own way, even if they don't understand WHY.

FL done. TX done (I think). Since this was a LA case, is LA going to redistrict in time for this year's rodeo? NC, SC, KY remain. Presumably VA's abortion gets nixed, unless the court there renders a fact- and law-free "1+1=7" sort of ruling, which must be at least somewhat likely.
Wonder if this sudden, and late-in-cycle, redistricting might result in actually useful GOP reps, not inertial machine slop the dominates the party? Good one - just kidding.

The brain just forms a mental image...or mine did.
When I met only a few in person, it hurt my brain reconciling reality with my mental image. If I ever went to a conference, my brain would have broke.

Geography question for the Horde: Is there one single source that I can get info on US counties and county equivalents from? I am specifically looking for the areas of said jurisdictions. Thanks.
Posted by: Bulg
Haven't seen an answer for you so far. Require either MatLab, or the Linux FOSS called Octave.
For U.S. county boundaries, the most reliable source is the U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line files.
U.S. Census Bureau: Download the "Counties (and equivalent)" shapefiles. These are public domain and updated annually.
Natural Earth: Best for global datasets. They provide "Admin 2 – Counties" files for various countries at different scales (1:10m, 1:50m, 1:110m).
GADM (Database of Global Administrative Areas): High-detail boundaries for almost every country, available in various formats including Shapefile.
I'll post how to use it separately.
Posted by: BifBewalski - at April 29, 2026 09:40 PM (QVmho)
Solution how to steps (1)
To get county boundary shapefiles into the MATLAB Mapping Toolbox, you generally need files in the ESRI Shapefile (.shp) format. MATLAB provides a few built-in ways to access this data, but for custom or high-resolution requirements, you'll likely want to source them from official geographic databases.

Posted by: Admiral 'SciVo' Ackbar at April 29, 2026 09:42 PM (Sy6m/)
Solution steps (2)
Once you have the .shp file (and its associated .shx and .dbf files in the same folder), you can use the following functions:
Using shaperead
This is the standard command for the Mapping Toolbox. It returns a structure array containing the geometry and attributes (like County Name or FIPS code).
Posted by: BifBewalski - at April 29, 2026 09:42 PM (QVmho)
Posted by: SciVo at April 29, 2026 09:42 PM (Sy6m/)
Solution steps (3)
This is MatLab code that uses the mapp___ tool box...
% Read the shapefile
S = shaperead('tl_2025_us_county.shp', 'UseGeoCoords', true);
% View the first entry to see attribute fields
disp(S(1));
Posted by: BifBewalski - at April 29, 2026 09:43 PM (QVmho)
Solution steps (3)
After loading the data, you can project it onto a map axes.
More code...
% Create a map axes for the area of interest
figure;
ax = usamap('Alabama'); % Automatically sets limits and projection
setm(ax, 'MapProjection', 'lambert'); % Often used for regional US maps
% Plot the boundaries
geoshow(alabamaCounties, 'FaceColor', [0.8 0.9 1], 'EdgeColor', 'black');
% Add labels using a field from the shapefile
labelData = alabamaCounties.NAME;
% (Additional logic required to find centroids for text placement)

You have to ask for cites and if you are very specific with how you want your agents built it comes back far less woke. There have been a few hallucinations, but those seem to be far less common than even 6 months ago. In terms of facts on geography of the US, limited to names, you most likely won’t get jaded data. And listen, I am no techie and I have managed through simple agents. I can’t imagine what could be done with someone who actually knew what they were doing!

FCC Demands Eight ABC Stations Re-Apply for Certification Early, Citing the Stations' Brazen Racial Discrimination Based on Illegal "DEI" Criteria
Plus: Comey May Be Forced to Give Up Profits on His Stupid Book?
Bad news for the Disney Groomer Network.
Tim O'Brien:[T]he Federal Communications Commission (FCC)... announced on April 28 that it is moving up its review of the ABC network's eight local broadcasting licenses over the network's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices. On March 27, 2025, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr initially sent a letter to Disney CEO Bob Iger notifying him that the FCC was investigating the company (Disney and ABC) to determine if it was in violation of the FCC's own equal employment opportunity regulations. Common sense will tell you that when you replace "equal" with "equity" you will have problems, and that's what they're looking at. Keep in mind that this was months before the assassination of Charlie Kirk in September and the Jimmy Kimmel drama that followed. Now, just recently, David J. Brown, the chief of the video division at the Federal Communications Commission's media bureau, sent a notification memo to The Walt Disney Company that said: "Specifically, FCC rules provide that whenever the FCC regards an application for a renewal of a license as essential to the proper conduct of an investigation, the FCC has the authority to call the broadcaster's licenses in for early renewal. Doing so both allows the FCC to conduct its ongoing investigation and enables the FCC to ensure that the broadcaster has been meeting its public interest obligations more broadly...The FCC determines that calling in Disney's ABC licenses for early renewal, at this time, under the Communications Act's public interest standard is essential within the meaning of agency regulations." The ABC stations in question were on the schedule for license renewal in the 2028-2031 window. The FCC's decision now requires the ABC stations to file for renewal by May 28 of this year. It's important to understand that the Federal Communications Commission doesn't regulate networks directly; their content is carried by third-party local broadcasters that use the public airwaves, which the FCC does regulate. American Broadcasting Company owns eight local television stations that are within the FCC's jurisdiction: WABC-TV New York, KABC-TV Los Angeles, WLS-TV Chicago, WPVI-TV Philadelphia, KTRK-TV Houston, KGO-TV San Francisco, WTVD-TV Raleigh-Durham, and KFSN-TV Fresno.Those are among ABC's biggest stations. Only two -- Raleigh-Durham and Fresno -- are second-tier. On to James Comey. James Comey posted his "8647" threat to boost sales of his piece-of-shit homo book. But that means he profited from a crime, and may be forced to disgorge those profits. Though, to be honest, I can't imagine she made much money off this "book."
Paul SperryViva Frei explains that the case against Comey isn't just about the "8647" tweet-- he posted a series of tweets to promote his gay book, which spoke of... encouraging people to kill political enemies.
@paulsperry_ BREAKING: DOJ sources tell me prosecutors are pursuing a "forfeiture action" in relation to James Comey's alleged felonies because they believe Comey posted the "86" Trump threat to also help drum up sales of a forthcoming book. Comey posted the image five (5) days before the May 20, 2025, release of his new crime novel. Controversy over the posting thrust Comey back into the headlines and drew potential book buyers to his Instagram and X accounts where he heavily promoted the book. According to the Comey indictment, "Upon conviction, the defendant shall forfeit to the United States any property, real or personal, which constitutes or is derived from proceeds traceable to the said offense."
ConversationHe quibbles about whether the indictment should contain all of this evidence. I don't think it does. An indictment is not a presentation of evidence. That's what a trial is. An indictment is just a listing of charges that a grand jury has said there is evidence enough to support a conviction thereupon.
Viva Frei
@thevivafrei Too many people are either ignorant of the facts, or being obtuse as relates to Comey's "8647" (in shells!) Instagram post. It was not a simple "one-off" post. Faulty premise and factually incorrect. So everyone comparing it to Jack Posobiec's 2022 tweet of "8646" is not comparing comparables. Also, not an irrelevant factor - Jack is not the former Director of the FBI! Posobiec's tweet was stupid. And I would expect to be investigated and possibly charged if I were to ever post anything so stupid. That says, now back to it not being a "one-off" possibly ambiguous tweet: People are either unaware of, or ignoring the context of Comey's Instagram post. It was not a "one-off". It was actually the second in a series of three posts, all of which were connected, self-referential, and clearly deliberately so. Post 1: Comey at the beach, reading his new book, FDR Drive (image attached). Post 2: 8647 in shells. Post 3: The summary of his new book which he is reading in Post 1. That summary: "Garcia believes Buchanan went far beyond the protection of the first amendment when *he singled out his enemies by name* and *suggested "something should be done" about them*. His fans have obliged, killing or grievously, injuring some of his foes." Comey is telling you exactly what he is doing. Reading his book. Singling out his enemies by name (as close as he can get) - 47 for Trump. Suggesting "something should be done about them" - 86 for kill or eliminate. And "his fans have obliged" from his book description that he posted. All of the elements are there to eliminate any ambiguity as to what common meant - sandwiching his 8647 in shells in between a picture of him reading his book, and a summary of his book - which has to do with calling out enemies by name, suggesting something should be done to them, and his fans obliging.
LOL -- J6 defense attorneys had similar complaints, mostly early in the 3 year period following the riot when DOJ aggressively sought to detain defendants.

The checks & balances that prevent this were dismantled as the current regime replaced long-standing employees with loyalists. As it happened in the Weimar the people are split into thirds. 1/3 cares so much. 1/3 is morally corrupt. 1/3 don't care. That's a 2/3 majority against progress.
I'm not normally one to root for large corps, but I really wish Disney would unleash their army of lawyers in thus one particular case.
Trump's style is pretty much corporations-as-government. And Disney will be one of those corporations with pseudo-governmental powers. I don't think they're terribly upset about this. Casting off the last advocates for market regulation, root out the old order kind of thing.
The point isn’t to get them removed from the air. The point is to make it expensive and inconvenient for them to keep Kimmel. They basically just want Kimmel off of the air. And if they don’t remove Kimmel, then it’s just punishment for offending dear leader.

Also, when, exactly, was it funny when someone says, "Hey, you look like you can't wait for your spouse to be horrifically killed." At what angle can one take Kimmel's "joke" and say, "Aha! I get it. Now that's humor."?
Kimmel wants Trump dead. It would make him happy. Not out of power. Dead. Clear as day and has been for months. Kimmel's not excusing his way out of this. Oh, Disney will still protect him because, well, it's Disney and we know what it has become. But the intentions and sentiment are pretty damn easy tea leaves to read.

>>Now the new FBI is arresting bad guys at a record clip, communicating with the American people more than ever before, breaking down bureaucracy every day, and has an entirely new enterprise operation with more accountability mechanisms and better operations across the board.

Branca seems much more sound on legal advice and analysis, and a little more realistic on how things will actually pan out in court.

In his testimony, Swanson talked about some of the things he saw when he was with DHS. For example, Swanson said his unit once got a call from a mother who complained that she was not getting an agreed-upon kickback from the owner of a child care center.
Recalling another incident, Swanson said his unit got a call from a former owner of a child care center who said he had been “cheated out of his share of the fraud proceeds.”
The former state trooper also told the committee that a fire department called to say they had repeatedly tried to conduct a fire safety inspection at one child care center, but nobody was there. Swanson said that center received roughly $1 million in the 12 months prior.
“I wish I could tell you that these types of incidents were rare, but they weren’t,” Swanson said. “This is what our team dealt with on a weekly basis.”

OC spray is interesting. It can be really effective, but some people just shrug it off, and if you haven't been sprayed before, you might panic or freeze as you'll get hit with some of the spray, too, typically.
I've actually been pretty impressed with these cable whip baton things. They seem to cause IMMENSE pain, but are much less likely to cause serious injury than a collapsible baton or similar.
These guys test weapons on each other and have pretty high pain tolerance, and even light strikes crippled them.

The provincial government of B.C., has really screwed themselves over this DRIPA law they passed several years ago which forces them to consult with First Nations over any law which affects them (which means basically everything).
This was a UN resolution years ago that set out this idea of including indigenous people which only a few western countries voted against; U.S., Canada, New Zealand, Australia, for obvioys reasons.
Anyhow B.C., decided to put it into law there, the only jurisdiction in the world to do so. Now, along with some recent judicial rulings over property ownership going to First Nations tribes, B.C. is effectively being co-governed with a First Nations Leadership Council.
The recently elected premier, Ebby, tried to change the law to gut some of its provisions, but the First Nations had a meeting with him and basically strong-armed him into giving up the fight.
So just remember; as bad as it is, at least we aren’t Canada.

I think that’s a a strange choice for the Party to make, and says a whole lot about who they really are. Broadcasting their hatred of Christianity and love of transgender perversion is more important to the Dem Party than anything else.

“But,” Mr. Comey added, “I’ve never seen a defendant beg for it more by attacking the judge, attacking the jury, attacking the witnesses.

The Rheinmetall 120mm guns on the Abrams are license-built in upstate New Yawk.
If the sausageside Eurotrash get snippy about cancelling the licensing, it's not as if they can realistically do anything about it. Besides, we could always buy the Israeli 120mm they use on the Merkava. It's ballistically virtually identical, it's just more compact in the turret, having a mount and recoil system that's about the same size as the original Limey L7 105mm gun that the first Abrams were designed around.

here is how the scam works - betray the Republicans, especially Trump, and you get either a speaking tour or a book deal, likely both. The speaking tour will be a tour of 4-star restaurants and resorts, with you giving a 30-minute canned speech each night and getting paid $100k a pop. Oh no! The speaking tour didn't make the massive amount of money the promoters expected! So sad!
The book deal - you are given, up front, and advance, say $5 million, against royalties. You hire a ghostwriter for $30k and pocket the rest. NONE of these books EVER makes a profit. No worries, an outside "investor" likely paid the publishing company the advance. Oh no! The book didn't make the massive amount of money the investors expected! So sad!
It's the same bullshit both Bush and Hunter Biden did with their "art". Just a way to pay off public officials in retirement.

So WHY do publishing companies offer turds like Comey $2 million advance against royalties? What that means is Comey gets $2 million, now, today, and the publishers gets maybe $30k per year .... petering off over time. That $30 k is counted against the royalty advance, i.e. the publishers is slowly paid back for the advance, likely over decades. But it doesn't even pay the interest on $2 million up front.
But if an outside investor fronted the $2 million...and they split the royalties with the publisher...? The publisher gets a tidy $15k in pure profit every year. Just for printing the book.

And how'd he do it? Basically, by being soft on crime - crime that was mostly black on white. That caused a rapid acceleration of white flight that began after the 1960s riots.
The city lost jobs, earnings taxes, corporate taxes, retail dollars, sales taxes, mortgages, interest, property taxes, development dollars, investment dollars, and tourism dollars. The money was carried out in the pockets of the businesses and the people who fled as fast as they could.
less population = less money = less services = less policing = more population decline. Classic death spiral.
Chicago is in one now, New York and LA are next.

The Family of Democrat Thugs Who Assaulted Savanah Hernandez Have All be Indicted by a Federal Grand Jury
Acting AG Todd BlancheThe whole family -- the thug 250 pound father who brutally knocked the 110 pound girl in the back, the psychopathic daughter who repeated assaulted her by blowing a very loud whistle directly into her ear (yes that's assault, and the attack can have serious long-term consequences), and the mother too.
@DAGToddBlanche Today, Christopher, Deyanna, and Paige Ostrouchko were indicted by a grand jury for allegedly assaulting journalist and Turning Point USA contributor Savannah Hernandez, while she was lawfully reporting on anti-ICE protests outside a federal building in St. Paul. Hernandez was allegedly surrounded, physically assaulted, and shoved to the ground -- simply because she was identified by the defendants as a conservative journalist. That is NOT "peaceful protest." These deplorable actions as charged in the indictment will not be tolerated in America, and this Department of Justice will always punish unhinged acts of political violence.
🚨HUGE UPDATE: Turns out that Chris, Paige and Deyanna Ostroushko will ALL be facing federal charges for assaulting me.

A few years back, left-wing media began popularizing the phrase "stochastic terrorism," so they could blame mainstream conservative rhetoric for random violent acts. When a white supremacist goes on a shooting spree, legacy media demand that every Republican official in the country take ownership and denounce the act as if their rhetoric led to the violence. Yet, when a left-winger such as Cole Allen allegedly tries to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, leaving a manifesto that's virtually indistinguishable from the rhetoric used by the average liberal podcaster or politician, the same people act as if the two things are completely unrelated. There's not a hint of self-reflection. Politics, of course, has always been hyperbolic. Both Democrats and Republicans say terrible things about opposition presidents. But there's probably never been anything approaching the unhinged hysteria aimed at Trump. For years, it was broadly accepted by the Left that Trump was an asset of a foreign adversary. And when the president wasn't operating "concentration camps" or stealing votes from minority groups, he was instituting fascism. And this wasn't the usual vague pejorative synonym for "conservativism." "Yes, it's okay to compare Trump to Hitler. Don't let me stop you," one Washington Post op-ed argued. Though to be fair, another Washington Post op-ed disagreed: "Don't compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. It belittles Hitler." Trump is now regularly accused of being a rapist and pedophile and a puppet of the Jews who are plunging us into endless war for personal gain. "And," wrote Allen, who'd been marinating in this panic for about a decade, "I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes." There have now been three major attempts to murder the Republican president. Not long ago, Charlie Kirk, one of the most popular conservative voices in the nation, was assassinated. Before that, Brian Thompson, the CEO of the largest insurance company in the country, was murdered on the street. Before that, a leftist showed up with a Glock, zip ties, and duct tape to assassinate a Supreme Court justice. Before that, a Bernie Sanders fan attempted to eliminate the entire Republican House leadership on a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia. That's not even to mention the "free Palestine" activists who show up at protests with firebombs or murder Israeli Embassy workers on the streets of Washington. Or the fire-bombings of Tesla dealerships. Or the antifa fire-bombings and attacks on police stations and Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities. Or the attacks on pregnancy centers after the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision. Or the Black Lives Matter riots, the most destructive in American history. When a would-be terrorist shows up at the Capitol with Molotov cocktails to kill Republican officials, we barely even talk about it. That's a pattern. That's a big problem. Marxist violence has always been with us. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by a communist in Dallas. The only other president assassinated in the 20th century, William McKinley, was killed by the bullets of radical leftist Leon Czolgosz. A slew of communist and anarchist terrorist bombings culminated in the deaths of 30 people on Wall Street in 1920. Most cultural depictions of the '60s and '70s offer us genteel, peace-loving hippies. The reality was an unprecedented rise in left-wing terrorism, led by groups such as the Weather Underground, which were setting off bombs at the Capitol, police stations, the Pentagon, and the offices of attorneys general. In an 18-month span between 1971 and 1972, there were 2,500 bombings in the United States by leftist groups. It seems to me that things could easily go back in that direction, or worse, because the contemporary Left is increasingly and openly comfortable with violence.

Greg Gutfeld just delivered the single most succinct and cutting indictment of the leftwing media's complicity in Saturday's WHCD attack: "This guy did hear voices. They were Ted Lieu's, they were Brandon Johnson's, they were CNN's, they were The View, they were MS NOW." "I think this is a helpful assassination attempt because it is the first one that shows you can be radicalized by liberal smugness." "He wasn't a crank. He was not deranged. Don't buy into that narrative ... He was just following orders." Greg nails it
Same Old, Same Old: Target Trump At the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Donald Trump was the target of yet a third assassination attempt--this time in full view of the Washington press corps. The event was presented as a spirited night with Trump. After 11 years of avoiding the predominantly left-wing media event, he decided to revisit the dinner. He anticipated that he would be the object of ridicule inside the hall--and that he might see possible violence outside it. Indeed, protesters ringed the hotel. In grimly prescient fashion, the usual sort of crowd that night was channeling John Wilkes Booth--sic semper tyrannis--with placards reading "Death to Tyrants." They again almost got their wish. All three of the would-be Trump shooters--along with Charlie Kirk's murderer--fit the predictable profile of arrested-development, deranged leftists. They apparently sought to reify the popular Democrat hatred of Trump and his supporters, thereby imagining themselves entering the pantheon of revolutionary heroes. So too, not long ago, did the would-be killer of Trump, Austin Tucker Martin, storm Mar-a-Lago in search of the absent president. This time, the latest assassin, Cole Tomas Allen, left a manifesto repeating the old saw of Trump as "Hitler" and sought to kill the president and his cabinet members. Indeed, his incoherent screed read like a Petri dish of all the supposed sins of Trump, drawing on left-wing conspiracies about Russian collusion, lawfare myths, and the Epstein files. Allen's attempt was another fantasy of mass murdering, not unlike that of former Bernie Sanders campaign aide James T. Hodgkinson. He tried to take out Republican congressional leaders--wounding four, including House Republican Majority Whip Steve Scalise--in a baseball game in Washington. Other than the fact that the shooter nearly reached the doors to the auditorium, the Secret Service performed brilliantly--despite the Democratic effort to shut down the Department of Homeland Security. Apparently, the Left's mindset is that the security of elected officials--Trump especially--and of American citizens is not nearly as important as ensuring that foreign nationals who entered the country illegally are not legally returned to their countries of origin. Assassins are motivated by all sorts of impulses, but certainly they do not act in a void. From the trickle-down world of social media, the internet, and street theater, would-be killers absorb elite signals. This messaging becomes especially baleful when celebrities, governors, senators, and politicos amplify the claim that Trump is a fascist, a Nazi, a monster who is destroying the country and who must be stopped "by any means necessary." Late-night comedians joke about past assassinations or assassination attempts; others have even claimed that Trump staged his first assassination attempt--and this one too! So deep runs their hatred. For over a decade, the Left has escalated its rhetoric of violence against Trump. Each politico, actor, celebrity, or billionaire seems to vie with the next in imagining new ways to kill or assault him. Had that sort of rhetoric been directed at Obama or Biden, it would likely have put many of them in jail. ... ... The hardcore left-wing establishment believes this sort of Hitler/Trump rhetoric, combined with the normalization of street violence, generates ever more protests, fuels anti-ICE fury, unites Congressional Democrats, and--most importantly--drives down Trump poll numbers. In their view, it is a lot more effective than merely outlining an alternative agenda. So expect far more, not less, of this left-wing violent madness to come.See, what they're not realizing is that yes, they are making political violence acceptable on the left, but they're also making it acceptable among the right. I hope they're ready for the fire they've set.
This is what incitement of violence sounds like. These are not insults or ridicule. These are incitements of violence.

I just read the Algore Global Cooling thread. ROFL.
Some of you mentioned the sun turning into a red giant. That will happen in about 5 billion years. But a lot of stuff will get us well before then. Well before. Complex life on earth probably has no more than about 1 billion years left. The sun's luminosity is steadily increasing at about 6 - 10% per billion years. In a billion years, it will be too hot, and the oceans will start evaporating away.
But other stuff will still happen well before then. On the roughly 500K - 1 million year range, a 1km+ asteroid will be almost certain to have hit, along with one of those huge supervolcano explosions.

Another one that caught my eye. In a mere 1.2 million years, a star, Gliese 710, will come within a mere 10,000 AU of the sun, and a tiny chance it get within 1000 au. Well inside the Oort Cloud in all cases. In galactic scale terms, this is stellar sideswipe.
That will send a deluge of debris into the inner solar system, likely causing all sorts of impact events.
They've know that star would make a close approach for a while, but the recent high precision Gaia survey, mapping the positions and velocities of stars in our neighborhood to much great precisions, showed just how close it will get.

The GOP was playing the long game, for decades, to arrive at complete and total control of SCOTUS. And this is the fruit of their labor. Republicans have a hard time convincing certain people to vote for them. So life would be a lot easier if those people just weren't allowed to vote.
"If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy." - David Frum, Conservative.
Remember everyone who told us we were being *hysterical* about what would happen in the Supreme Court if Trump won in 2016?
If the Democrats get control of the house and senate and don't make MASSIVE changes to limit the abuse of power from all 3 branches of government then this country is doomed.
Cue red state emergency redistricting to sneak back in Jim Crow-inspired gerrymanders.

The family literally assaulted someone, on camera. Their expectation was it would be no biggie. Likely because they and everyone around them have done it many times before, without consequence. Likely they have assaulted dozens of people and gotten away with it. To a point where they don't even consider it assault - just free speech, or the natural consequence of disagreeing with them. Like the broken windows concept, this attitude spreads - shove someone one day, punch them the next, shoot them the next, etc.

Also when a group formed to mildly push back and protect against the left's homicidal brownshirts that group was immediately focused on, infiltrated, compromised, the people arrested, and thrown in pmita prison. So not only is the left not afraid of legal consequences, they know their victims will be prosecuted to the extent of the law if they just raise a finger. That's why they film everything.

They are atheists lecturing believers that they aren't doing Christianity correctly.
They murder millions of babies while calling the state execution of murderers evil.
They protect and shield dangerous criminal illegal aliens over their fellow citizens and condemn those citizens for wanting enforcement.
They claim to be the champions for women's rights and lie that conservatives are not at the same time they violently support men pretending to be women demanding they be able to invade every safe space for women.

I had a juvenile delinquent friend growing up. Always breaking the law, B&Es, stealing. Always his widowed mother trying to bail him out of things. He was on probation every day I knew him.
I saw the behavior. "How dare the rules of my probation tell ME what to do!" He got himself in trouble before he was on probation, but the defiance of the system, was how he "got the system back".
He was entitled, and when the system pushed back, the system needed to be shown who's boss. He never associated the consequence of his action with his prior action. He only saw it as almost as something done to him.
So, I saw this personality type early on. Never dreamed variations of it would become so dominant in society.

But you know, I think that rightists should do that one better: take those steps, yes, and then learn how to make the purpose-built ones too. Because we can, and even when leftists (like Cole Allen) actually have technical degrees, they don't really seem to have the drive to apply it.
The four major tools used at the squad level in the Russo-Ukrainian War appear to be rifles, off-road motorbikes, drones, and ECM/ECCM (jamming). Many here already have and use the first, but for those with the means and inclination, I think all four would be good things to acquire and learn.

That is the mark of someone who scores high on the psychopathy chart. Probably has no real conscience. That is a hard-wired condition, and while some people who want to can overcome it by faking real empathy, they don't ever actually have any, so they don't feel any sense of shame. There is no leverage whatsoever to be able to teach them how to behave like a civilized individual.
As far as they are concerned, people are just plain mean to them, while they are just taking care of themselves.
Until you life around one of these folks, it really doesn't make any sense. Once you figure it out, everything becomes strictly transactional, and you hope for the best.

You are absolutely right — "Zurowski" and "Ostrouschko" are not remotely similar names. My initial response was incorrect, and I apologize for the error.
Based on the search results, Desiree Ostrouschko is a member of the Ostroushko family from Minnesota, who publicly denounced her family's involvement in the assault on conservative journalist Savanah Hernandez during an anti-ICE protest in April 2026. She stated on Facebook that she does not align with her family’s actions, emphasizing that “violence is never acceptable” and that she has been estranged from them for years due to ideological differences.
The confusion with "Desiree Zurowski" was a mistake — they are two entirely different individuals.
Are he search engines actively suppressing Desire O. because she is not of the body?

Paige Ostroushko has contended that the incident was ignited when Hernandez laughed about sexual assaults occurring in ICE detention centers. The incident left her with head, neck and knee injuries, she said.
“This led to emotional distress and a confrontation,” Ostroushko wrote on a fundraising page she started on her behalf. “The situation escalated, and at one point, I experienced physical contact and believed I was being assaulted, including being struck several times. In response, I acted in what I believed was self-defense in the moment.”

Lunatic Leftwing Fascists Melt Down as Florida's Assembly Speedruns the New Congressional Map Through Both Houses
Florida lawmakers have approved a new Congressional map that could position Republicans to win four additional U.S. House seats in the midterm elections in November. The 21 to 17 vote for final passage in the Senate came just hours after the U.S. Supreme Court weakened the Voting Rights Act in a decision on a Louisiana congressional district Wednesday morning. Both developments will assist President Trump's national push to help the GOP in the midterm elections. With the Florida redistricting, the GOP likely gains an advantage of two or three new seats as Republican-led states have followed Trump's call and Democratic-led states have countered it. However, control of the House will depend on the votes in November. Democrats have said the redraw in Florida makes several GOP seats more competitive, potentially leading to smaller seat gains if strong Democratic performances seen in recent special elections continue. The bill now goes for expected signing by Gov. Ron DeSantis. He has argued that the state's rapid population growth requires redistricting. And he's urged the redrawing of districts that were drawn with consideration for preserving the voting power of minority communities.
🚨 JUST IN: The Florida House has OVERWHELMINGLY PASSED Governor Ron DeSantis’ new Congressional maps, which would add up to 4 new Republican US House seats, 83-28

I love how cucky institutionalists still think that these monsters care about the "stain" that their integrity will suffer. But some states are scrambling to redistrict:
Shipwreckedcrew
@shipwreckedcrew So Justice Kagan is reported in Molly Hemingway's new book on Justice Alito as having urged liberal members of the Court to slow-walk their dissents in the Dobbs case for months after Justice Alito had finished his majority decision, presumably with the "hope" that the composition of the Court would change and the 5-4 outcome striking down Roe would turn into a 4-4 deadlock that left the lower court's decision in place - affirming Roe. NOW, it is clear that it was Justice Kagan -- and not Justices Jackson and Sotomayor -- who has held up her dissent in the Louisiana redistricting case, as she has written the only dissent -- with the whispered-about motivation being to push the decision back far enough into the calendar back such that some states don't have time to engage in redistricting before the Nov. elections -- redistricting that might eliminate minority-majority districts and cost Democrats seats. If both these two anecdotal accounts about Kagan gain traction, it will forever stain her legacy on SCOTUS.

That is the ruling that says one man, one vote applies to state districting, so instead of a geographic districting (like there is on federal level,) there is all this district bull. It should be based on county, for example. So each county gets one state rep, each group of counties one federal rep.

It's not quite that simple. IANAL, but one of the lovely things about these newfangled AI summaries is how easy it makes it look up how laws work. When that Texan reporter was assaulted at the Minnesota protest outside an ICE facility, I looked it up to check if residents of different states would get the Feds involved, and found my guess was wrong.
The most solid source of Federal jurisdiction is a conspiracy against civil rights, since the family worked together in violence against her 1A rights. The next was *if* the Federal property line extended out past where she was assaulted, then that would be another predicate. There was no third.

I will freely admit to looking down at that 2024 caucus ballot and debating between the two. Ultimately I went with Trump, because he was still hammering the immigration issue, and Iowa was getting flooded by illegals thanks to Auto-Pen. My precinct wound up going (literally checks notes) Trump 56, DeSantis 91.

It looks like not only did she allegedly leak the abortion decision, but she delayed turning in her opinion so as to give leftwing assassins as long a runway as possible to get the job done and off one of the rightwing justices. That would have made it 4-4 and Roe would have stood.
She knew they were besieged with threats and required extra protection for both them and their families, but she delayed anyway.

1) Bost v. IL - candidates and campaigns have standing to challenge elections; including standing prior to elections to enforce laws
2) USAID and NGOs - gutted
3) RNC - not bending over
4) consent decree effectively preventing Rs from challenging elections - dead
5) mid-term redistricting - no good historical data on the new districts
6) America's 250th Birthday Bash
7) SPLC - sidelined
8 ) DOJ and FBI - no longer working against us
Pending:
1) post-election ballot counting - will go for us
2) EO on mail in ballots - strong chance of another win

Los Angeles has rejected an entrepreneur’s cheap and simple fix to stop the city’s crippling copper wire theft crisis.
End Metal Theft spokesman Mark James revealed to the California Post it had created a hardened cover that secures streetlights and would stop neighborhoods being plunged into darkness.
The device, which fastens over the lid to the wires, would make it harder, louder and far riskier for criminals to try to gain access.
They would cost about $300 to install, are easily maintained and would save the tens of thousands of dollars it costs to repair vandalized streetlamps.
But James revealed City Hall chiefs shot it down, instead wanting to focus on converting to solar lamps that will cost up to $6,000 each.

Trump's win in 2024, if it was 20+ years ago, would have been a wave that swept Republicans to at least a 20 seat majority in the House.
Maybe 40.
That's how razor thin precise Dems have gerrymandered their states--they held Rs to a small majority in a wave.
But they have almost no seats they can flip now either--they need a wave to flip the red seats in their states since they've packed so many R voters in them.

Already is, Inspector General of Fed in involved and for Powell, it means he has to testify as long as he stays in the Fed (no fifth amendment right) to the IG's investigation. I think they did this just so Powell will leave the Board of Governors promptly to avoid questioning.
It happened several times in Trump I administration once the DoJ and FBI became subjects of the IG investigation for that department. People resigned or retired to avoid testilying.
IG can also give criminal referrals which sticks up the ass of someone like Boasberg as much more obvious to try to stymie indictments based on an OIG investigation.

He says it's early because his first rocket exploded...but I think we have enough illegals to rush it, Elon.
Then send a handful once the rocket is a success then many in cargo rockets.

Powell doesn't have to leave the board when he is replaced as Chairman.
He should resign, like most former Chairmen have, but he isn't required to.

As I said above, an active OIG investigation is targeting the cost overruns. OIG can make Powell testify if he does not leave the board regardless of the 5th Amendment. If he leaves, then they no longer have power to compel testimony.
I think this was the backup when Powell did not resign and Boasberg stuck his oar in. And the OIG after the conclusion of its investigation can still give criminal referrals for prosecution to the DoJ.

They have another daughter, Desiree, that has disavowed what her mother, father, and sister has done and has stated so publicly. In part what she has stated:
“I’m his second daughter and I’ve experienced firsthand how he’s publicly and personally put me down simply because I don’t align with their beliefs. That’s a big part of why l’ve chosen to distance myself from them. Watching situations like this unfold only reinforces that decision.
This behavior is not something I stand for it’s honestly disappointing and disturbing.”

Al Gore: All of My Predictions from An Inconvenient Truth About Greenland and the Arctic Completely Losing Their Ice Were "Proven Dead Right;" and BTW, Now I'm Warning About a Coming Ice Age (Which Will Also Not Happen)
And he's got a new grift: Global Freezing. A lot of these rich nepo babies like Al Gore and Tuq'r Qarlson aren't nearly as rich as I'd assumed. They're still shilling and huckstering into their elder years.This idiot cuck again. I hate this guy. He's a dweeb so he plays "smart" characters -- by which I mean another dweeb, Aaron Sorkin, uses him as his puppet to ventriloquize his own personal stupid dweeb political propaganda -- and so he believes he's smart in real life. Pretty sure Hugh Jackman doesn't think he's actually Wolverine in real life.
Former Vice President Al Gore is still making climate doom predictions, 20 years after his warnings from An Inconvenient Truth proved false -- this time invoking the science fiction film The Day After Tomorrow for a rapt Hollywood audience. Gore joined the first-ever Sustainability in Entertainment Honors event Thursday, organized by The Hollywood Reporter and the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance, for a keynote conversation with The West Wing star Bradley Whitford.
The pair reminisced about the Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, conspicuously omitting its failed prophecy that Earth's ecosystems would reach a "tipping point" of no return, thanks to human industrial activity, in only ten years. That deadline that came and went a full decade ago. ...So note it is this actor dweeb who spent his grade school years getting stuffed inside lockers who advanced the ice age prediction-- but Al Gore then endorses it, while avoiding making a prediction about when this will come to pass. Like all Doomsayers, his previous specific predictions have been proven dead wrong, so now he wants to keep things vague.
In response to this doomsday warning, Whitford sets a more drastic timeline -- that if Gore's energy policies are not enacted, "we're in an ice age in, like, 10 years." However, Gore punts the prophecy's deadline much farther into the future, dodging any chance of accountability.
... WHITFORD: And if there is a tipping point here where the gradual threat of climate change becomes immediate, where -- if that happens and the Gulf Stream ceases to exist as we know it, we're in an ice age in, like, 10 years. GORE: No, no, no. It would take longer -- it, I mean, I'm not the expert- WHITFORD: [Crosstalk] I wear makeup, Al. GORE: But I've spent a lot of time with them. But it would be bad. It would be very bad and would be bad on a scale that is beyond our, anything we can compare it to today.
The ultimate authority on all questions involving life on earth, Al Gore, is now declaring that global warming is out, and global freezing is in. Safe bet that he found a whole new angle to line his pockets off the climate grift. pic.twitter.com/oQ5CtY9laS

Al Gore says the doomsday predictions from climate scientists 20 years ago "were proven dead right," so we should take them even more seriously now.
— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) March 27, 2026
He says it's "inevitable that we're going to see Greenland go and the west Antarctic ice sheet go."
Reminder, in 2006, Gore… pic.twitter.com/W042RpBeUA
Al Gore just said “none of the predictions from the past 20 years have been wrong from climate scientists.”

Meet Kassim Busuri who only four months ago demanded President Trump apologize for calling Somalians “garbage.”
Turns out Trump was right. Busuri, owner of A Plus Universal Child Care and Learning Center, had his business raided today.
Oh, and he’s also St. Paul’s first Somalian city council member.
Garbage indeed.

I love the scene in the library where the cold air chases them down the hallway, complete with horror film chasing cam. They close the door just in time, and the door edges freeze blue. Then a homeless guy teaches them how to insulate their clothes using crumpled paper.
I also love the part where they carefully consider which books they can use to burn for warmth, and they decide on tax law books. Then some Karen scolds them for not knowing the importance of books, that they have to treasure knowledge, and they have to feast upon the word of tax law.
So stupid.

Use of that phrase is a 100% absolute guarantee the speaker knows nothing of science.
1) it violates the laws of thermodynamics and
2) it requires ignoring both feedback and counter mechanisms in the climate.
The only way you could show yourself to be more scientifically ignorant is to cite Venus as a potential outcome of global warming.

What if they just get off on fooling suckers out of money? I was corrected by commenters here for my inference that aging rockers must not be as rich as I thought, since they're still doing the grueling work of stadium and arena tours. They pointed out that e.g. Paul McCartney said if people stopped buying tickets he would busk, since making music for people is just what he loves. That I can understand, but soulless snakes are harder to get in the head of; so, it's hard to imagine, but maybe they're just love tricking people too much to ever stop, and cold hard cash is the firmest proof the scam worked.

Yes, it "pissed me off' if you take it at face value and as propaganda -- but I tried watching it just as I would watch Godzilla, or Zardoz - OKl this would never actually happen, so let's just view i9t as a ridiculous funny fantasy. The scene where the "coldness" chases the hero through the New York Public Library, as if "coldness' was a tactile physical entity with defined boundaries and consciousness, was hilarious.

my father is an illiterate alcoholic republican and my mom threw An Inconvenient Truth on one day just for fun and he ate that up and believed every word.

idk if I can get that excited about hitting this 2050 net zero target, and then getting to a reduction of 50% of manmade carbons by 50% by 2075. Like, I'll be 81 years old by then...We still need to spend trillions of dollars on revolutionizing the grid. lots more work ahead to get to a place where things start improving temperature wise.
The planet will be fine until the sun expands in its red giant phase, but humanity and the rest of the biosphere will not be.

Really, they shut down because of an earthquake in Japan that minorly hurt a nuclear reactor about 3 generations out of date that leaked almost no nuclear radiation.
Germany didn't just shut down their nuclear reactors, either.
They destroyed the towers. To replace them they'd have to go through EU regulatory hurdles from scratch.

As sadomasochistic yakuza enforcer Kakihara searches for his missing boss he comes across Ichi, a repressed and psychotic killer who may be able to inflict levels of pain that Kakihara has only dreamed of.
But in reality, isn't this truly the story of the climate cult and Al Gore.

He finally admits the obvious."
It Trump has deported 2M illegals, and my math of 10% of them work in the formal economy, a nominal loss of 200K jobs would actually be a static and indicate neither gains nor losses in employment.
Obviously if my estimate on how many work is wrong the difference would be greater - if all of them work as the left claims a 2M job loss would be expected...

I’ll shit my pants in ecstasy if that happens. The decision has ramifications for blue states too. Quite a few blue state districts are clearly racially gerrymandered. AOC’s for one. The state itself will never do shit, but if the GOP would get off their lazy douchebag asses and start challenging them, they would hold the House in massive majorities.

I doubt much change in the blue states will happen.
Just replace race with partisan makeup, and you probably have pretty much the exact same districts.

Mostly though - salt.
I fry up a good onion though, and that is a nice side - not caramelized, beyond that. A little blackened and full of flavor, and it makes a nice addition.
You guys are completely ignoring a good pan sauce. Saute shallots and a bit of garlic, add red wine, salt and pepper, and reduce, add chicken stock and reduce, add butter, et voila. It improves ANY beef.

I did a crtl-F on the SCOTUS ruling comments. No mention of Reynolds v. Simms.
That is the big kahuna. That is the ruling that says one man, one vote applies to state districting, so instead of a geographic districting (like there is on federal level,) there is all this district bull. It should be based on county, for example. So each county gets one state rep, each group of counties one federal rep.
OMOV gives power to the cities, encourages migration, concentrates power to facilitate fraud, and leaves rural ares floundering. It is what has caused all our problems (that and the 17th. and 19th. and commies. and muzzies. "amongst our weaponry..." hold on, I'll come in again.

Decoding the Bible is an ancient sport, even Sir Isaac Newton calculated out the end of the Earth, but added something along the line of , if it is not then, I have no idea when.
I do think the Millerites were more of a hope than despair, though. They had seen the flourishing of religion in the US and the horrors of the Civil War, and hoped that would mark the end of the old world and the birth of the return, since it meant they had seen the best of mankind and the greatest calamities, and things would not get worse.

They build in the flood zone and on beaches that are washing away due to nature and the natural rise in sea level after the ice age. There is no sane reason to build there, and they only do because other people keep paying tax dollars to make them safe and restore beaches.
NJ is lined on the coast with $10 million dollar homes that only exist because the people who own them have clout so everyone else has to pay for their insurance and beach restorations.

The meltwater from Greenland would be freshwater. "They" theorize the freshwater mingling with the salt water would disrupt the Gulf Stream or at least redirect it. By which process I have no idea.
Many people really have no concept of how big the ocean is. I remember the freakout after the Deepwater Horizon disaster, I had to explain to a lady that the ocean is huge and could easily absorb the oil. She thought the oil would destroy the world...

Dan Bongino Flushed Deep State Leakers Out of the FBI By Using the "Canary Trap" Technique
I don't know if it's really called the "canary trap." I just know that's what Tom Clancy called it. One finds a leaker by leaking particularlized misinformation to different people. Then you sit back and see what version of the misinformation winds up in the press.
Then you fire the person you told that piece of individualized misinformation to. Tyrian Lanister used it in Game of Thrones, too. Bongino used the same technique to separate real FBI agents interested in actaully doing their jobs from the treasonous Democrat "snakes" who infest American government to tunnel through it and collapse it.
Bongino said he was repeatedly assured certain individuals were trustworthy, only to suspect them of leaking shortly afterward. "It happened a couple times where they'd say, 'Oh, you can trust John Smith.' And you trust John Smith, and then a week later you see a leak in the media and you'd be like, 'I'm pretty sure that came from John Smith,'" he said. At that point, most bureaucrats would shrug and complain. Bongino did something smarter. He set a trap. To flush out leakers, Bongino began planting harmless, fake details--like an "innocuous" schedule item--and sharing them selectively with specific individuals. Then he watched. If that exact detail showed up in the press, he had his answer. "It was like we would play this little game," he said. Call it a game if you want. It was actually a classic counterintelligence tactic, and it worked. When the planted information surfaced publicly, Bongino confronted the source directly. No guesswork. No plausible deniability. Done.

"John Ʌ Konrad V@johnkonrad
·
Apr 28
John Thune has become a punching bag for good reason but there is a more insidious force at play nobody can talk about. Let me explain…
The staffers in Thune’s office have been asking Trump Naval and Maritime appointees questions about me before confirmation hearings.
I doubt John Thune knows who I am. His staff absolutely does. They track me. They hate me. And they will quietly bleed pushing out any appointee I’m friends with.
Someone close to PPO told me a Trump staffer commented that “Konrad should be a HBS case study on someone every in the administration respects but has zero chance of any appointment.”
It’s probably because I’ve called out congressional staffers numerous times before.
This is how Congress actually works.
It’s always the staffers. When we first floated the SHIPS Act, Mike Johnson’s hometown delegation were strong supporters. "

Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy
-States that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people:
-Those who are devoted to the goals of the organization and those dedicated to the organization itself.
-The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization.

A minister in ancient China with aspirations for power once brought in a deer to a meeting. "Isn't that a fine horse?" he asked those present. Several scoffed, saying that it was obviously a deer. Others, wanting to get on the minister's good side, praised the "horse".
Those who stated the truth were later hounded down by the 'law'. Those who lied, remained to bolster the minister's power.
There's strong parallels to what Obama and his group have done to places like the FBI and the DOJ.

Large organizations always start to shift to the bureaucratic model and the first thing that natural bureaucrats in the middle know is that control of information from the lower reaches to the upper levels is key to job preservation and power.
Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister are timeless in demonstrating this. The classic Yes, Prime Minister where the Prime Minister navigates a foreign crisis and thwarts the Foreign Office bureaucrats is classic.

Every time Trump survives an assassination attempt he enters a kind of zen fugue state where he transcends his usual belligerence and radiates unearthly serenity. "I wasn't worried," he said after this last one. "I understand life. We live in a crazy world." In this photo he looks like the speaker of Yeats's "Lake Isle of Innisfree," gazing dreamily into the respite that awaits him when at last his labor on this earth is done.
"Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade."
This usually lasts about a week before he goes back to thundering obscenities at his enemies and wishing hellfire upon them at the merest provocation.

What's the most delicious about this technique is that almost without fail, it catches the kinds of people who think they're the smartest people in the room. (In Yagami's case, he was a genuine genius, (at least within the context of the story) it's just that he was overconfident and L was his equal) It's a little like the best way to swat a fly is to use its own innate defenses against it.

Thune is not a good manager. He is worthless.
Posted by: bob
========
Konrad's subsequent posts which have ignited a firestorm on X including staffers, etc. weighing in, also indicate the problem in part with Thune is that he inherited these problematic staffers when he agreed to be majority leader.
These top staffers come with the job, not from Thune and as Thune himself is selected by his colleagues, not by voters, those staffers are run in part by the Caucus, not Thune.
Konrad does not go into it but others have noted that Congressional lawmaking abilities have largely shriveled in part due to law writing being delegated to outside interest groups and to key staffers within that use these complicated bills to create their own power centers and funding for their allies.
This explains why our annual funding bills are such a shitshow--the key committee and leadership staffers and former staffers who are now lobbyists for special interest groups purposefully stall and delay so these bills so that a complicated omnibus/continuing resolution where lots of funding and provisions can be hidden has become the norm.

Bongino is not the first government manager to divulge the use of this technique in US government, e.g. reportedly this was done a lot in the first Trump administration.
I don't think revealing it is going to make leakers any more circumspect. They want to tell what they know. Like James O'Keefe's fake date stings are never going to stop working. Like these maggots are never going to stop keep documenting their disloyalty and 'secret plans' in e-mails. They don't learn any better. Surprising, but true.

He said on his old radio show that he was going to give it a shot when he was offered the assistant director spot but he said he was keeping his options open because he was not sure he would like the job. Turns out he did not like the job and he left.
From what I have read and heard from him the job was pretty much dealing with HR bull$hit and manpower issues.

There are a lot of fuckups, that's for sure. However, you don't hang around an actual conservative republican's office very long as a staffer unless you believe in the mission. i knew a lot of Mike Lee's staff and they were solid people who did the work to push actual conservative policy to the extent they could.
The RINO offices were staffed with exactly who you'd expect.

Some staff are nepo babies and are hired due to their parents being donors or friends.
Most aren't. I was none of those things when I got hired.
I also didn't get paid anything resembling "extremely well." I topped out at about $40k/year before I found a better private sector job. The benefits are...okay at best, it's just government health insurance. Paid time off was in line with any corporate job you'd find. I think it was 3 weeks/year.

I stopped calling transmania Point Deer Make Horse, because the reference was too obscure. The incident you refer to lead to one of the briefest dynasties, since it was so dysfunctional.
One of the ways that Chinese deal with having such an ancient culture is by distilling historical lessons into little four-word epigrams. The epigram for that whole travesty is Point Deer Make Horse, with layers of lessons for keeping your head straight, and keeping it attached, and knowing how seductively effective tactics can be crippling long-term.

William Natcher of Kentucky ran his office that way. His wife was his chief of staff. Notably he always returned most of his House office allowance as he was extremely popular in his district and spent less than one quarter of his House office allowance. Ironically, the anti nepotism provisions make it more difficult to hire family members as staff. So those so inclined, like Maxine Waters, simply put them on their campaign staffs funded directly by donors. Probably worse in the bargain for that tradeoff.

Assassination-Prep Specialist Congressman Dan Goldman: The Person Responsible for Trump's Third Assassination Trump is Trump Himself
Do you want to take this kinetic? Because this is how you take this kinetic.
Meanwhile: Comey will be arrested by federal marshals.
Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) didn't waste any time pointing the finger after Saturday's assassination attempt on President Donald Trump -- and he aimed it squarely at Trump himself. ... Coates played a clip of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who called out what she described as years of escalating demonization of the president. "This political violence stems from a systemic demonization of him and his supporters by commentators, yes, by elected members of the Democrat Party, and even some in the media," she said. "This hateful and constant and violent rhetoric directed at President Trump day after day after day for 11 years has helped to legitimize this violence and bring us to this dark moment." Goldman, who sits on the House Judiciary and Homeland Security committees and is a former federal prosecutor, of course, doesn't blame his party for the shooting. When asked about the White House's response, Goldman didn't even pause. "I mean, it's pretty rich given that Donald Trump's rhetoric led to January 6," he said. "And we know what Donald Trump's rhetoric leads to because we know many times over how his followers use violence in -- when they follow him."
Yes, he literally blamed President Trump for the assassination attempt against him.
Paul SperryI know this will shock you, but it turns out those "studies" claiming that there is more political violence from the right than from the left are lies. They -- hold on to your seats -- excluded obvious cases of left-wing violence from the tallies but include drug dealers shooting each other if they happen to be white nationalists. The supposedly "libertarian" -- really corporate left-wing liberal -- CATO institute does not include 9/11 victims in the count. The ADL just flatly defines antisemitism as "right-wing" -- even when left-wing Palestinians kill Jews, they claim that the Palestinians as "ethnonationalism" which is then defined as "right-wing." Batya-Ungar Sargon's >analysis is here.
@paulsperry_ 19h BREAKING: An arrest warrant has been issued for former FBI Director James Comey for multiple federal grand jury charges in North Carolina related to an Instagram image he posted last summer allegedly threatening the president. US Marshals will execute the arrest. Comey publicly claimed at the time that he did not create the threatening "86 47" image but merely stumbled on it while walking on the beach and photographed it. It's not clear what he told federal agents who interviewed him about it.
One of the major sources is the Prosecution Project, an initiative of the University of Cincinnati, which analyzes felony criminal cases involving political violence and sorts them by ideology. "The project examines criminal complaints, indictments and court records, looking for crimes that seek 'a socio-political change or to communicate' to outside audiences," per The Economist. "Its data show that extremists on both left and right commit violence, although more incidents appear to come from right-leaning attackers." Yet if you pull up the data center yourself, you can see immediately that it is deeply flawed. Share The data set doesn't include either of the previous two assassination attempts on President Trump's life, as far as I can tell; a search for the time frame and the names of the would-be assassins turns up zero hits. Nor does it include the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The data set is based on prosecutions, which might explain the absence of Thomas Crooks, who died at Butler. But what explains the absence of Trump's other would-be assassin, Ryan Wesley Routh, or Tyler Robinson, who killed Charlie Kirk? I couldn't find Elias Rodriguez on the list either, who shot and killed two people outside the Jewish Museum in D.C. in May of 2025 to protest the war in Gaza. It's pretty easy to say that the violence is coming overwhelmingly from the Right if you overwhelmingly edit out any political violence from the Left. The editing goes deep. During the summer of 2020, the George Floyd riots were in full swing. Political violence claimed the lives of dozens of Americans and caused $2 billion in property damage. Yet the data set from the Prosecution Project lists a grand total of five incidents "left wing" incidents that summer, two of them "eco-animal focused," meaning it counts just three incidents of left-wing violence during that time. Compare this to a list compiled by Forbes of 19 people who lost their lives during the first 14 days of George Floyd riots. Why don't these people merit a mention in the Prosecution Project? They were killed during a politically motivated explosion of violence and rioting. These were, to cite the Project's own criteria, "crimes that seek 'a socio-political change or to communicate' to outside audiences." Yet they do not appear in the dataset. Surely we can all agree that their omission massively skews the data. Maybe you think that people murdered during political riots shouldn't count as victims of political violence. But what about a meth dealer who happens to belong to the Aryan Brotherhood? Should their meth dealing count as political violence? The Prosecution Project thinks so! Among the Right-wing examples it makes sure to include, you'll find an Aryan Brotherhood meth gang that merited 10 entries for drug-related crimes. I'm no fan of the Aryan Brotherhood, but can you honestly say this is an example of Right-wing political violence? In what world does producing meth constitute "crimes that seek 'a socio-political change or to communicate' to outside audiences"? You can also find people on the list who did things like vandalize an LGBTQ crosswalk--though not people who vandalized entire neighborhoods in 2020 in the name of racial justice. Is vandalism political violence? I guess only if you're conservative.
No, both sides aren't equally responsible for political violence. The media loves sharing graphs and "data" showing the Right is more violent than the Left, but the organizations producing that data are cooking the books so they can smear the Right with the Left's crimes. pic.twitter.com/nqidqSOcTu

It happens incredibly often. Government austerity is defined as spending more and raising taxes. Recessions are defined as when the economy was at its best. The end of a recession is defined as when it is most deep. Government-run price-controlled exchanges are defined as free markets.
Children are defined as up to age 26, which makes them a majority of entry-level workers, which means that children lose health care when jobs drop (usually from unspecified Leftist policies).
Much of it is deliberately hypocritical, as if defining abstinence as drinking more is an excuse for drinking more when abstinence fails.

The best part of that exchange is that Zeldin replied with the actual language of two recent Supreme Court rulings on the topic that obviously DeLauro knew nothing about.

Posted by: Guy Mohawk at April 29, 2026 01:29 PM (n5tGW)
======
A solid section of modern leftists explain away their violence because the Marxist revolution has taken a backseat, intellectually, to intersectionality.
Intersectionality demands victims and oppressors.
If Trump is a victim of violence, then he deserves political power.
Therefore, he cannot be a victim of violence. Therefore, all attempts on his life were actually done by conservatives who are oppressors.

“Boy Who Cried Wolf” Effect: Why Trump Is A Perfect Conspiracy Theory Subject...The Trump administration’s steady stream of false or misleading statements about general events only creates more confusion, Robertson said.
lol the third "assassination attempt" is just the media trying to make a guy who tripped on a stage in into a martyr again.
No one cares much about this. "Meh, someone tried to shoot Trump again." Even Trump supporters don't seem more concerned about a ballroom.
We knew it was a hoax when it was revealed that the shooter is a black man that was taken in alive.
Probably just a coincidence that when his campaign was hitting rock bottom there was this "assassination attempt" where a bullet barely grazed him and now when his popularity is hitting rock bottom there is another one.

It's to the point where if I come across a "conservative" (stupid term) analysis of anything that even comes close to eviscerating this kind of crap in appropriately strong, vituperative terms, and follows the implications of the idiotic distortion they are destroying, it's memorable.
Actually can't think of one lately.

Numerous people believe the attack was orchestrated by the Trump administration for political gain ahead of the midterms. Here's what experts think.
Yeah. Trump is the galactic overlord. He was able to convince a left wing teacher from California to go to prison for life, just so he could set the attempt up.

The Met chief said he could 'never give an absolute assurance' when asked directly if Jews were safe, but insisted his force was doing 'everything we can do to protect people in difficult times'.
Responding to shouts of 'resign' and 'shame on you', Britain's most senior policeman said he understood why Jewish Londoners feel 'afraid and angry' after the latest attack on their community.

Trump repeatedly called for peace. The crowd was peaceful until the Capitol Police fired tear gas and concussion grenades into them. They opened the doors and let the crowd enter and most of them were reasonably civilized, other than the left wing agitators that entered and broke windows.
The only people that died that day were at the hands of Capitol Police who shot and beat unarmed women.

That is Schlae's argument in part but it ignores some wider considerations. Basically the reparations scheme where the US banks by loans backstopped Germany who used those loans to pay Britain and France which in turn paid the US broke down. Wall Street drop was a minor influence. And Smoot Hawley had little if anything to do with the breakdown of US trade. And only fractions of a percent of GDP decline.
It was a financial crisis based on WWI and Versailles aggravated by factors like overinvestment into things like electrification and power grids. Financialization and globalization can never actually eliminate real economic losses. It can only paper them over with bad debt.

I find TV unwatchable anyway for political commentary. Same for debates. Mugging for the camera, evasions, half truths, and distortions are inevitable in a tv production. Occasionally it will give a nugget of oppo research in a candidate debate being exposed which has lasting effect. E.g. the dropping that Jackson hired illegals to staff his country mansion estate.

Unless the party or his counsel is going to destroy evidence, discovery is invaluable. If they're claiming some kind of privilege, eventually a privilege log will have to be produced, and the judge can review the allegedly privileged documents and rule whether they have to be produced.
If they do destroy evidence and get caught, they'll get hit with a spoliation claim. If the attorney was complicit, he'll find himself before the bar association.
I can't count the number of times text messages have screwed the entity I work for in recent years because they had to be produced in litigation.

Feds tightening money by requiring more reserves caused the bank the fail and yes, I agree with Friedman. The Fed as being run by representatives of the top banks at the time were terrified about the Trans Atlantic defaults on debt payments from UK, France, and Germany.
But instead of loosening credit or some other mechanism to fix or ameliorate the issues for the big banks, they tightened across the US on regular banks at exactly the wrong time.
The truth is that these large American banks should have never been engaged in foreign loans to sovereign countries in the first place.
Same issues arose in the 80's and early 90's. Only investment banks which can be allowed to fail should be involved in such risky measures.

The rhetoric and predictions behind climate change "science" change so haphazardly, it's a sure sign that the entire field of study is fraudulent. If the manufactured hysteria is not enough to clue people in, the failed predictions of Al Gore should do the trick.
Former Vice President Al Gore warned a Hollywood audience this week that a "Gulf Stream collapse" could occur within 25 years, leading to an abrupt and devastating new Ice Age.
Mr. Gore, now 78, appeared at the inaugural Sustainability in Entertainment Honors event, co-hosted by The Hollywood Reporter and the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance at Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles. He participated in a keynote conversation with actor Bradley Whitford of “The West Wing,” timed to the 20th anniversary of “An Inconvenient Truth.”

I'm not following Goldman's goobly goop. It seems to be political lawyer speak for the naïve masses that, unfortunately, may vote.
Donald Trump’s rhetoric has connections to acts of violence committed by his followers. (Got that.)
So PDT brings assassination attempts upon himself because he fans flames of violence in his followers, or the followers are now leaning toward assassination, the Left might do better with contract killers, or...

Several cops did die after Jan 6, supposedly "tied-to" what happened. Details are scarce. I'm at the point where it wouldn't surprise me if they simply knew too much and became a liability to TPTB.

Well, bear in mind that after the Kirk assassination, the last of the sane functional adult leftists abandoned the left and either became politically homeless or went full-on "far-right" (i.e., moderate) so all that's left now are manbaby/womanbaby toddlers who throw tantrums when they don't get their way. To them, being told "no" is violence, and standing up to their crybullying is genocide.

And the truth is world trade was declining anyway due to the breakdown of international banks and sovereign debt crisis. And that cause was the huge wastage of money in WWI by warring powers. All the carry trade on sovereign debt did was to delay the impact until it was apparent that these debts could not and would not be repaid.
But the Fed is what made it worse into a Depression. Prior panics over matters (see the 1870's banking crisis over France losing to Prussia causing the panic in the US) or the later 1890's panic in the US based on European bank failures, provided the impetus in part for a US Fed Reserve. But in a crisis intended for the Fed to act, they failed the test.

IN EPOCHAL RULING, SUPREME COURT HOLDS, 6-3, THAT RACIAL GERRYMANDERS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL -- MUCH LESS REQUIRED BY THE CONSTITUTION
I don't know if the southern states affected like this can impose an emergency redistricting double-quick for the midterms, but some analysts believe that this ruling will eventually flip 19 Democrat seats to Republican.
The Supreme Court just handed down one of the most consequential redistricting decisions in a generation -- and Democrats are not going to like it one bit. In a 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, the majority held that Louisiana's congressional map -- redrawn to include a second majority-black district -- constitutes an unconstitutional racial gerrymander under the Fifteenth Amendment. The Court stopped short of striking down Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act entirely, but it dramatically narrowed the ways in which states may use race when drawing congressional maps.
Zachary DonniniFull decision here.
@ZacharyDonnini 52m Kagan seems to be pretty damn sure that Section 2 is gutted in her dissent: "The new Callais requirements will effectively insulate any practice, including any districting scheme, said by a State to have any race-neutral justification. That justification can sound in traditional redistricting criteria, or else can sound in politics and partisanship. As to the latter, the State need do nothing more than announce a partisan gerrymander."

This is the key passage in Louisiana v. Callais. While not overturning section 2 of the VRA, it construes it into near-irrelevance. All minority voters are entitled to is that the map drawers NOT use race as a metric in drawing their maps.

Now we know why the Kennedy assassination was a true "national tragedy".
There have been 20 Republican Presidents.
3 were assassinated + 2 were shot.
That's 15% assassinated, 25% shot.
In 1963, Republicans mourned and Democrats mourned. So it was national. A Democrat had been assassinated.
Cato and the other liar organizations got nothing to say about this established historical trend.

I'm not worried about the birthright citizenship ruling. If it turns out it that doesn't go in Trump's favor (which it probably won't) you can simply tax all anchor babies turned adults that live abroad for any income they earn outside the US borders. If they don't pay up, they forfeit their citizenship; we either get their money or they lose their vote. They're not going to get both.

District courts will see lawsuits. 90% of Republican appointed judges at this level will follow precedent. 50% of Democrat appointed judges at this level will follow precedent.

Gingles was decided at a time when this Court often paid insufficient attention to the language of statutory provisions, and Justice Brennan’s opinion for the Court followed this pattern.
[lol, what a FU this is]
For this reason, the focus of sec. 2 must be enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment’s prohibition on intentional racial discrimination.
...
In short, sec. 2 imposes liability only when the evidence supports a strong inference that the State intentionally drew its districts to afford minority voters less opportunity because of their race.
--
Before, and Kagan whines, mere showing of racial effect was sufficient
Now, they must show racial intent was the almost sole motivation to draw the district.

These retards in the dissent are describing EXACTLY what Virginia is attempting to do to the voters in the more rural parts of the state. The only difference is that the people they intend to dilute and disenfranchise are white and therefore don't matter to democrats.
QUOTE from the Dissent:
The state legislature decides to eliminate the
circle district, slicing it into six pie pieces and allocating one
each to six new, still solidly White congressional districts.
The State’s Black voters are now widely dispersed, and (unlike the State’s White voters) lack any ability to elect a representative of their choice. Election after election, Black
citizens’ votes are, by every practical measure, wasted.

Makes it real easy with a supermajority of Republicans in the legislature to draw maps (that the governor can't say anything about at all, according to the NC constitution) to centralize their representation in those cities.

The upshot of Rucho was that, as far as federal law is concerned, a state legislature may use partisan advantage as a factor in redistricting. And litigants cannot circumvent that rule by dressing their political-gerrymandering claims in racial garb. Imposing liability “based on the racial effects of a political gerrymander in a jurisdiction in which race and partisan preference are very closely correlated . . . would, if accepted, provide a convenient way for future litigants and lower courts to sidestep our holding in Rucho that partisan gerrymandering claims are not justiciable in federal court.” Alexander, 602 U. S., at 21. “Instead of claiming that a State impermissibly set a target Republican-Democratic breakdown, a plaintiff could simply reverse-engineer the partisan data into racial data and argue that the State impermissibly set a particular [racial] target. Our decisions cannot be evaded with such ease.”

fn2 The dissent claims that the Fourteenth Amendment is irrelevant to our analysis, post, at 39–40, n. 11 (opinion of KAGAN, J.), but the dissent appears to forget—or at least tries to lead readers to forget—that the decision before us is based on the Fourteenth Amendment.
That analysis had its priorities backwards. The Fifteenth Amendment, which the Voting Rights Act enforces, “is not designed to punish for the past” but works “to ensure a better future.” Shelby County, 570 U. S., at 553. The focus of §2 must therefore be on “current conditions,” not on “decades-old data relevant to decades-old problems.”
Third, while the dissent wraps itself in the mantle of stare decisis, the dissent is unabashedly at war with key precedents. See post, at 45 (claiming that Rucho was disastrously wrong and should be cabined); post, at 5, 8–9, 42–43 (repeatedly criticizing Shelby County and citing the dissent in that case); post, at 4 (criticizing the Court’s decision in Brnovich). Respect for precedent cannot be a one-way street.

As I explained more than 30 years ago, I would go further and hold that §2 of the Voting Rights Act does not regulate districting at all. See id., at 922–923. The relevant text prohibits States from imposing or applying a “voting qualification,” “prerequisite to voting,” or “standard, practice, or procedure,” in a manner that results in a denial or abridgement of the right to vote based on race. 52 U. S. C. §10301(a). How States draw district lines does not fall within any of those three categories. Holder, 512 U. S., at 922–923 (opinion of THOMAS, J.); Allen v. Milligan, 599 U. S. 1, 46 (2023) (THOMAS, J., dissenting). The words in §2 instead “reach only ‘enactments that regulate citizens’ access to the ballot or the processes for counting a ballot’; they
‘do not include a State’s . . . choice of one districting scheme over another.’” Ibid. (quoting Holder, 512 U. S., at 945 (opinion of THOMAS, J.)). Therefore, no §2 challenge to districting should ever succeed.

Could this be Justice Alito's swan song before retiring at the end of this term, allowing President Trump to name his replacement before the 2026 midterm elections?
He also has a forthcoming book scheduled for release this fall: "So Ordered: An Originalist’s View of the Constitution, Our Court, and Our Country."
I heard Mollie Hemingway interviewed last week about her book "Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution."
She mentioned two things: (1) there is some historical "white whale" SCOTUS decision that Alito wants to be able to help possibly overturn (sorry, can't recall which); and (2) there are three Justices on the right over age 70 now (obviously Thomas) but even Roberts (which I wasn't aware of).

Mississippi already announced redistricting special session. Louisiana must do it. Alabama is likely to. That leaves GA, SC, and NC if it wants to. Also protects preemptively Florida's redistricting.

I've said for months, the big effect of this ruling will be in 2028.
However, it will dwarf in comparison to the 2032 redraw, especially assuming if Republicans hold onto the presidency and the Census Bureau.
Holy shit...Democrats will lost 30-40 seats in Congress and Electoral votes between now and the 2032 election.

The catastrophe of judicial usurpation of legislative and executive power is brightly illustrated in the entire history of the VRA. Section 2 does in any way justify racial gerrymanders (which, separately, are abhorrent and unconstitutional in themselves).
The absurd self-regard and mumbo jumbo and toxic arrogance of the Legal Cult - empowered by supine legislatures and cowardly executives - have crippled this country in ways very few understand. Great to see small reversals of this long decline.

The amendment was directed at preventing states from banning voters by race, not to provide secure districts for minorities.
The Court has long said that the emergency provisions of the VRA of 1965 could not be justified constitutionally any other way than being considered an 'emergency'. You cannot have a constitutional emergency that lasts in perpetuity.

Even with the Democrat Census Director intentionally tanking the 2020 census result, Democrats still lost seats. Right after Trump got cheating out of the presidency and the GOP was completely cowed.
So, there are limits to what finagling things can happen.
Plus, most of the 30-40 will probably come from state-level redrawing absent the GIngles requirement.

======
Majority Minority districts came about because the DoJ during the Reagan Bush years decided that was a tactic for the GOP to gain seats in the South. Drawing upon the disparate impact precedents, the DoJ constructed the idea that proportional representation of a minority population was required. That in turn, destroyed moderate Blue Dogs as you had either distinctly white, or black predominate majority districts in the state legislatures as well as the congressional districts. Civil Rights Division (which were race libs) came up with the idea but the top mgmt at DoJ embraced it (and the CRD implemented some of Lani Guinier ideas on representation).
It was related to preclearance under the Emergency provisions of the VRA which were still in effect and extended by Congress several times.
Once the machine started, the new black Democrats obviously were not going to upset the apple cart as it would abolish their districts. So it destroyed moderate Southern Dems to the benefit of very liberal blacks in urban areas and white GOP candidates.
Gingles ratified it.

/Good question. Presumably lawsuits, but not sure what enforcement mechanisms exist if state legislatures just give the SCOTUS and the law the middle finger (all too common these days). Sounds insurrection-y -- maybe the Executive Branch, charged with enforcing the law -- invades and takes over, turning those states into de facto territories with military governors?

Lawsuits over districts go to three judge panels composed of district court judges. They have the power themselves to draw districts under existing law and precedent and decisions can be appealed directly to Scotus. Callais is such a case.

For decades blacks in MS were bussed from one place to another. Paid under the table.
My elderly mother would overhear some black ladies discussing voting for their sister at the poll.
Don't get me wrong, there are great black people my family knows and I was not raised in entrenched racism and hatred. The inner cities are one thing, the country people in the rural areas are another type of white and blacks who look out for each other.
This is why I was never surprised at the bs that went on in big blue cities with illegals, as it's been done by Dimmycrats for decades.
Turning the red state of MS redder by wiping out the Delta is going to sting. LA is worse in corruption.
The shrunken blue pocket of Georgia (Atlanta...an airport I try to avoid) is not surprising.

Look for the older and far superior Liberty!, The American Revolution by Thomas Fleming, an actual historian. Shown on PBS in 1997 originally and then the History Channel back in the day and Fleming wrote a book. Far better than Ken Burns crapola techniques which are dated and woke nowadays.
Fleming was not a woke historian but a genuine American treasure who could write historical novels and straight history in a clear and concise way. Died in the last couple of years but had a very long and productive career.

Historically correct. There were hardly any GOP members around in the South after Reconstruction. A few state representatives in the Appalachians now and again in VA, NC, and GA.
Had to compile the data for a prof that I worked for as an research assistant. In the sixties, you began to see a few GOP congress and state reps/senators in new suburban districts around cities and this increased modestly by the 70's. It was really the Reagan Bush DoJ though that killed the S. Democrat rule over Dixie with majority minority districts being pushed in preclearance under the Voting Rights Act emergency clause.

From Hippo's quote of Alito in #124:
Alito (yeah, we're not playing the "cry racism" game anymore):
The upshot of Rucho was that, as far as federal law is concerned, a state legislature may use partisan advantage as a factor in redistricting. And litigants cannot circumvent that rule by dressing their political-gerrymandering claims in racial garb. Imposing liability “based on the racial effects of a political gerrymander in a jurisdiction in which race and partisan preference are very closely correlated . . . would, if accepted, provide a convenient way for future litigants and lower courts to sidestep our holding in Rucho that partisan gerrymandering claims are not justiciable in federal court.” Alexander, 602 U. S., at 21. “Instead of claiming that a State impermissibly set a target Republican-Democratic breakdown, a plaintiff could simply reverse-engineer the partisan data into racial data and argue that the State impermissibly set a particular [racial] target. Our decisions cannot be evaded with such ease.”

The RNC gave Democrats the win. That's the explanation.
In 2020 and 2022, under Ronna McDaniel, the RNC was more concerned with corruption and playing nice with Democrats in the hope that a post-Trump Republican Party would be treated nicer by Democrats.
Trump finally got McDaniel fired and replaced by Lara Trump and Michael Whatley. They actively worked to stymie Democrat efforts at cheating.
Election night 2024, Philadelphia tried to shut down counting at about 10pm. The RNC immediately sued and Philadelphia kept counting (Trump won the state by pure coincidence).
The story of the 2020 and 2022 cheats isn't that Democrats got real good at it, but that Republicans actively helped make it happen.
2 years of DOJ lawsuits on voter rolls will do more

WASHINGTON — King Charles III presented President Trump with the bell from a World War II-era British submarine — dubbed the HMS Trump — at the White House state dinner Tuesday, where the two leaders bonded over highs and lows of the centuries-long US-UK relationship.
The shiny brass bell bearing Trump’s name and 1944, the year the submarine left a UK shipyard, was part of a vessel that played “a critical role during the war in the Pacific,” according to the king.

The left still lies and says Obama deported more people than any other president. Because he redefined what the word deportation meant. Under his reign, someone caught at the border and sent back was reclassified as a deportation. Which goosed up the numbers bigly. Meanwhile actual deportations fell to almost zero.

============
Before the court of appeals, multi judge panels were used for all appellate matters; after 1896, they were used where state laws were declared unconstitutional.
We should actually go back to that along with direct appeals involved so that the decisions binding to one state are binding precedent to another.
That in part is how the massive resistance to Scotus on integration failed. The district judge panels ruled, Scotus affirmed or reversed, then those binding precedents were enforced on other states doing the same crap. Reason Democrats abolished most of it aside from voting districts in 1976.
Basically panels of judges for unconstitutionality removes the stupidity and partisanship of one judge and it would also force Scotus to make a ruling immediately by bypassing the Courts of Appeals on such matters.

1/3 +1 is all that's needed--which Rs have more than enough to do.
Dems said, "we're only going to do budget issues"
Then instantly added redistricting to the agenda.

Also true.
The GOP has been actively trying to "win by losing" for years.
All this does is lead to losing.
However, the biggest loser ends up being the party leaders who try it because they push out their most loyal congressmen while the upstart taking over the party has an easier time of filling those seats with loyalists.
It's honestly how Gaetz was able to get rid of McCarthy. There were simply not enough McCarthy loyalists in the very thin GOP majority to stop a small group of upstarts from causing trouble.

In a somber tone, Kagan read a summary of her 48-page dissent from the bench – a signal of her strong disagreement with the majority’s ruling. “The Voting Rights Act,” she wrote “is—or, now more accurately, was—‘one of the most consequential, efficacious, and amply justified exercises of federal legislative power in our Nation’s history.’” But the requirements that the court imposes on Wednesday, she contended, “will effectively insulate any practice, including any districting scheme, said by a State to have any race-neutral justification. That justification can sound in traditional districting criteria, or else can sound in politics and partisanship. As to the latter, the State need do nothing more than announce a partisan gerrymander,” she said. “Assuming the State has left behind no smoking-gun evidence of a race-based motive (an almost fanciful prospect), Section 2 will play no role.”
In another sign of her disagreement with the majority’s decision, Kagan omitted the traditional “respectfully” from her conclusion, writing only, “I dissent.”

My mention was that of states that were redistricting. This decision simply prevents, like the shadow docket decisions on Texas, challenges under the VRA going forward.
Gingles is dead, mort, is no more. That decision allowed majority minority districts as long as the other factors (contiguity, political community, etc.) were not violated. Same as Bakke and later decisions on racial admissions to schools. Under Gingles, correcting racial imbalances in representation could be a factor but not the determinative one.
The NC district in Gingles was so badly drawn that it followed the interstate to connect urban islands to create a Dem majority minority district. The joke was you could go down the interstate and hit every voter with your car doors open between those urban redoubts.
My supervising prof in grad school for my research assistantship was an expert witness for that case.

Wednesday Morning Rant
Yesterday, the UAE announced that it was leaving OPEC, and is doing so more or less immediately. The country is withdrawing from the cartel on Friday. OPEC will survive and still represents a significant amount of global oil production - especially if one considers "OPEC+" psuedo-members like Russia - but the loss of its third-largest member is going to have major consequences for the organization. Its ability to control price is going to be even more sorely tested - and seriously questioned - than it already is. Especially because unlike many OPEC members, the UAE has spare capacity - and spare capacity is a major control mechanism. The loss of the UAE is probably a very big deal.
It is also the consequence of two things that have moved rapidly against the cartel's stability. The first is the Iran war. Iran is an OPEC member that has spent more than a month hurling missiles at its fellow cartel members in direct attack and now is interfering with shipping through the Strait of Hormuz - something that has direct negative effects on its fellow members and particularly on the UAE. Iran broke the most basic rule of cartels, which is that you don't attack your fellow conspirators. But it is not just Iran. Iran may have been the final straw, but there are bigger structural problems facing OPEC, namely supply and politics. OPEC+ ostensibly controls about 80% of global supply, but there are some big asterisks next to that. First, most producers in OPEC aren't all that big and don't have much slack in their production capacity and need to keep pumping to keep their petrostates from collapsing. A lot of the supply is in OPEC, but much of it is in the "must produce" column. Another is policy competition. For a long time, the cartel has had a monopoly in oil-as-policy-tool. There were major non-OPEC members like Russia, but they also didn't usually use oil as a policy tool. That was OPEC's game - until Trump. Trump does use energy as policy, and he has worked to make the US as productive as possible. There is now another party playing policy with energy, and it is a very big party indeed. OPEC cuts supply? We can raise it and blunt the effect to some degree - and the market will take care of it all on its own. OPEC gives a sweetheart deal we don't like? We'll sanction the country on the receiving end, install tariffs or do other trade-as-policy-tool things to interfere with it. The US is not a petrostate. Oil here is an industry - a hugely important one, but still just one of many. We have flexibility that petrostates do not, and Trump has been using that flexibility. Someone blinking was inevitable, and the UAE clearly sees first-mover advantage in doing so. The UAE sugar-coated its departure as best it could:"This has nothing to do with any of our brothers or friends within the group," Al Mazrouei said. "We've been working together for years and years. We have the highest respect for the Saudis for leading OPEC." The UAE remains committed to market stability and will continue to cooperate with producers and consumers to that end, the Energy Ministry said in its written statement. Its departure from OPEC will give the UAE more flexibility to respond to market dynamics, the ministry added. "We reaffirm our appreciation for the efforts of both OPEC and the OPEC+ alliance and wish them success," the Energy Ministry said."Good luck in your future endeavors." The Saudis want to cut supply given the long erosion in oil price (Iran war notwithstanding), but the UAE does not.
The UAE has the ambition to achieve 5 million barrels per day of capacity by 2027 and wants more freedom of action to pursue that goal, the energy minister added. The decision to leave OPEC is not a response to years of production cuts led by Saudi Arabia, he said."We want to increase production and you want us to cut it, but we promise that's not why we're leaving" is such a boldly contradictory statement that one can only laugh. Some, of course, keep whistling past the graveyard. The Guardian, desperate to maintain the party line, has blamed UAE's departure on ... so-called "decarbonization:"
The shift to low-carbon energy is also likely to have played a role in the UAE's exit. Producers that are able to pump more crude, and can tolerate lower oil prices, are expected to abandon any limits on crude production in favour of monetising their remaining reserves before demand for fossil fuels begin to decline.The Guardian's Jillian Ambrose missed her true calling as a comedienne. You don't have to go grasping for straws to see what happened here, and it isn't a consequence of the energy-hating envirocommunists. The ground simply shifted, all at once. The global oil market has been changing for years, Iran is shooting missiles at its putative partners, too many OPEC members can't cut production and at least one of the few who meaningfully can no longer wants to help carry the rest at the expense of its own ambitions. The world changed and it was only a matter of time before someone blinked.

There were major non-OPEC members like Russia, but they also didn't usually use oil as a policy tool. That was OPEC's game - until Trump. Trump does use energy as policy, and he has worked to make the US as productive as possible. There is now another party playing policy with energy, and it is a very big party indeed.
Increased supply means less leverage, and that's a very bad thing for Russia. Maybe they can sell more of those Matryoshka dolls to fund their invasion of Ukraine.

"The Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down Louisiana’s second majority Black congressional district in a decision that could open the door for Republican-led states to eliminate Black and Latino electoral districts that tend to favor Democrats and affect the balance of power in Congress.
In a 6-3 ruling, the court’s conservative majority found that the district, represented by Democrat Cleo Fields, relied too heavily on race. Chief Justice John Roberts had described the district as a “snake” that stretches more than 200 miles (320 kilometers) to link parts of the Shreveport, Alexandria, Lafayette and Baton Rouge areas."
And to keep this on oil production, well, the Gulf does oil...yes, it's a reach, but I figured you all would like to see Roberts do something right...

George Phydias Mitchell (May 21, 1919 – July 26, 2013) is widely credited as the pioneer who made hydraulic fracturing (fracking) commercially viable for shale gas.
Mitchell founded Mitchell Energy & Development Corp. in the 1950s, which grew into a Fortune 500 company. In the 1980s, he turned his attention to the Barnett Shale in North Texas — a dense rock formation that had been tapped for oil and gas above and below, but not from within.
Conventional methods failed, so Mitchell and his team experimented with hydraulic fracturing, injecting water, sand, and chemicals into the shale to create fractures that released trapped natural gas.
While hydraulic fracturing had been used since the late 1940s, Mitchell’s innovation was in applying it economically and reliably to shale gas extraction. His persistence paid off in 1997, when a key well demonstrated that fracking could produce gas profitably over the long term.

I'll pull out this drum I banged way back in 2012: The plan McCain floated then to build 100 new nuclear plants actually WOULD have decreased demand for fossil fuels. It would have made more EVs viable (because infrastructure would have had to have been built to support them.)
But they do not want the problem actually fixed, they want their 'Life after People.'

Average person drives 12k miles a year. Average car gets 25 mpg. That’s 480 gallons of gas. If gas goes up $1 that’s an extra $480 a year. $40 a month.
It’s really not the end of the world for most people. But there’s this psychological effect that people treat the extra $40 like an extra $400 or something. Partly because the media pumps up the story as an end of the world scenario.
Obviously if you drive 20k miles a year and you drive a f350 the calculation changes. But those are edge cases. For the typical driver who drives 10 miles to work and runs a few errands on the weekend $4 gas vs $3 gas is almost a negligible change.

Also it makes trips and other long journeys more expensive. It makes every time they get in a car more expensive. People don't live as averages, they exist in a day and do things!

Well, the lawsuit was brought by LA, so they'll redraw within the new framework.
Alabama has apparently been prepping for it, and they could redraw in a post-Gingles world.
But no other state will for 2026.
The real actual was always going to be 2028, but that should still be minor compared to 2032.

They didn't strike down Section 2 of the VRA as unconstitutional (they probably should have), but what they did is good enough to get the GOP an additional (up to) 19 House seats in the midterms, if the legislatures in Red States get on the schneid.
Trump had some small and large SCOTUS losses this term, but this may be the biggest win for him this year. He may end up losing the birthright citizenship case, but even if he does that's not as big a deal as this win right here.

The Curley Effect is a political strategy where leaders use divisive, wealth-reducing policies (such as high taxes or excessive redistribution) to encourage political opponents to emigrate, thereby increasing the relative size of their own electoral base. Named after Boston Mayor James Michael Curley, it results in economic stagnation but keeps the incumbent in power.

I always learn something knew hear (frequently):
"The Curley Effect is a political strategy in which incumbent politicians use wasteful, wealth-reducing policies and divisive rhetoric to encourage political opponents—often wealthier residents—to leave a city or region, thereby reshaping the electorate to favor their re-election. Named after James Michael Curley, a four-time mayor of Boston (1914–1950), the effect describes how leaders can maintain power by expanding support among poorer constituents through redistribution, even as overall economic stagnation occurs."

It also makes the districts elsewhere suspect in their redistricting including state legislative districts. Some of the districts were drawn specifically to protect incumbents and set aside districts by race.
Something like 12-14 seats in the South alone, leaving out Texas, were districted that way with majority minority districts.

This exact pattern came up in a thread I was following on another forum where someone posted they hated capitalism because they didn't want to work at a job they wanted to do art and garden
Well, no one is demanding you do work a formal job in a capitalist society but if you don't have money what are you giving other people for the goods and services you want from them?
And the left's take on this - that people should VOLUNTARILY choose what goods and services they give you is...err...slavery...as opposed to just forcing them to do it.

Interesting expression on Mary Magdalene's face.
The artist wisely steered away from blatant shocked expression as that would look probably humorous, but went more for a "What the...?" or Could it be? stunned look.
Nice.

Francisco Ribalta
Museo Del Prado -
Attributed to Francisco Ribalta
Solsona, Lérida (Spain), 1565 - Valencia (Spain), 1628
The presence in Valencia in 1521 of several works by Sebastiano del Piombo, acquired by the diplomat Jerónimo Vich, inspired various generations of local artists. In this oil, Ribalta adapted the figure of the Magdalene from one of those compositions, The Lamentation over the dead Christ, now in Saint Petersburg. As he dispensed with the other figures, he added the inscription “Quia Tulerunt Dominum Meum” (They have taken away my Lord), to express her grief.
Wikipedia, in part - "Mary Magdalene is regarded by believers as a historical figure, possibly from Magdala. She is seen as a prominent follower of Jesus who was believed to have been healed by him, supported his ministry financially, and was present at his crucifixion and burial. She played a key role among his female disciples. Overall, there is limited information about her life."
It's a beautiful painting - almost too beautiful for its theme - but I'd pass hanging it.
Thank you.

One of my favorite memories as a kid in the late 60s growing up in what was then relatively small Las Vegas: for a treat, especially if we'd been well-behaved, mom would pile me and my two brothers in the car and drive a maybe 10 miles down nearby Boulder Highway in Las Vegas to a dinky little company town called Henderson (now the second largest city in Nevada) to an A&W drive-in.

I retired a few weeks ago and have been generally depressed and without purpose (although spent the last week in Medicare Hell doing research as I turn 65 in four months).
Take comfort in the fact -- as I do -- that we've both likely been at a similar junction in our lives several times in the past ... and will always find a way out of it and purpose & meaning to strive toward.

Not high enough. Republicans need to exit the midterms fearing the future of their party. We need to take enough Senate seats so Fetterman isn't the 50th Republican vote.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk have been working hard to cheat. Go out and vote. Don't listen to polls.
People are still supporting Republicans? Why? They're mishandling literally everything, including the "solutions" they promised and came up with themselves.
Absolutely huge poll. Hope momentum continues and carries into November. D+10 wins the Senate, including Texas, if people show up.
The MAGA media machine has not kicked in yet. With Ellison buying CNN and other media outlets under billionaires control, talk to me in October and see if it is still 10pts.

From the summary, basically, minorities have to provide an alternate map that DOES NOT use race but still accomplishes the partisan goal of the state.
And "blacks = Democrats/Democrats = blacks" is not a valid claim that the proposed map was racially based.
That's how all these minority-majority districts were created.
And the Court specifically threw that out.
To make it clear: Dems can no longer just whine "it was racist, we know it was racist because all Republicans are racists!" and get maps thrown out.
1) they have to prove the racial motivation--not infer it
2) they have to prove an alternate map will provide the same R/D mix w/o using race.

The State’s Black voters are now widely dispersed, and (unlike the State’s White voters) lack any ability to elect a representative of their choice. Election after election, Black
citizens’ votes are, by every practical measure, wasted.

I think there are.
And now the Republicans in those districts can sue the state and force a non-racial map.
We can now force blue states to redistrict and they can only use R/D vote as the criteria.

But racism is good when it discriminates against white people! There are so many historical injustices to right, and other races have culture, so they deserve to be represented by people of their own race.
And most importantly, fuck white people.

That says, "no election law changes if an election is pending."
Under the TX redistricting case, "pending" is roughly 90 days.
States have around 2-3 months to 1) redistrict, and 2) complete the primaries.
Leaving at least 90 days to the start of early voting for the General Election.

The Morning Report — 4/ 29/26
“As President Trump observed during his state visit to Britain last autumn, ‘the bond of kinship and identity between America is priceless and eternal, it is irreplacable and unbreakable,” he added to a standing ovation from the Congress. “The alliance that our two nations have built over the centuries, and for which we are profoundly grateful to the American people, is truly unique, and that alliance is what Henry Kissinger described as Kennedy’s ‘soaring vision’ of an Atlantic relationship based on twin pillars, Europe and America. That partnership, I believe, Mr Speaker, is more important today than it has ever been.”Blah blah blah blah blah... Britain is gone. It has been all but subsumed into a Zombie hellscape of a Socialist/Islamic republic, with much of Europe well on its way to suffering that same fate even within my shrinking day-by-day lifespan (and I hope I'm dead and gone before it happens).
And NATO should've been dismantled years ago. It serves zero purpose but to prop up failed Western European welfare states... When Westminster Abbey becomes the next Hagia Sophia, then tell me about that "eternal alliance" as your head gets lopped off with a rusty meat cleaver on Al JazBBC-zira.
President Donald Trump’s declaration that, for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, “the party is over” was treated like a barbarian shout in the salon. Yet his statement has the impolite virtue of being true. For 75 years, Europe has hosted the most expensive open bar in history, all of it paid for by the United States, and called this dependency an “alliance.” Now, when the bill is presented and the host suggests perhaps the guests might behave as if they own something besides opinions, they are scandalized. Nothing has exposed this charade more clearly than the recent confrontation with Iran. The most revealing actor was NATO Europe, which, at the precise moment when it had the strongest interest in American protection, chose instead to lecture, obstruct, and deny access to bases that exist only thanks to American power and American money.No Kings indeed!!! If NATO can miraculously embrace a new mission of "No Emirs, Imams, Sultans along with Socialist Apparatchiks and Chi-Com Mandarins," I might reconsider my attitude provided they, EUROPE, foot at least 60% of the bill, permanently. On a more positive note, whatever one thinks of our conflict with Iran, and how it will ultimately play out, President Donald Trump's actions caused this happened and will no doubt have positive reverberations economically and geopolitically for years to come.
OPEC’s stranglehold on the global economy is finally coming apart at the seams — thanks in large part to President Donald Trump’s efforts at home and abroad — and the result will be freer markets, long-term lower energy price and less debt slavery for developing nations. On Tuesday, the United Arab Emirates, long frustrated with OPEC’s limits on its oil production, declared its intent to leave the consortium within days to be free to meet consumer demand for energy on its own terms.Meanwhile here at home in the wake of the latest leftist Democrat attempt to overthrow the American Republic by assassinating our President and his cabinet, it certainly seems as if the tone of the response by actual conservative pundits has taken a very distinct turn. Here are but two.
The American Left Is In Thrall To Political Violence. It Has To Be Destroyed. . . Left-wing political violence won’t end unless it’s actively stopped. We are not going to argue our way to peace.Very True John Daniel Davidson of the Federalist. He doesn't mince words. Am I correct in reading that as a call for a violent response to their violence and/or a preemptive move to take them down with extreme prejudice? And this from FrontPage Mag's Josh Hammer
Leftist Political Violence is an Existential Threat to the RepublicWhile he's not as overt perhaps nor directly calling for a violent response/preemption as Mr. Davidson does, nevertheless makes the very same point. Declaring the Left an "Existential threat" is not an allegory. So boys as I have asked numerous times in the past, what is to be done? I too am at the end of my rope, and one day either us or them will be on the wrong end of an actual, not rhetorical rope! Have a great day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

- A generation that forgot history is flirting with repeating it. (They didn't FORGET history so much as they were lied to and deceived and brainwashed about it. But still - jjs)
Communism’s Comeback – and America’s Amnesia HITHER & YON - Seventy years ago this month, a New York City gangster paid a hoodlum $1,175 to splash six ounces of sulfuric acid in Riesel’s face. Naturally, that event would be the climax of any retelling of Riesel’s life. But it is neither the beginning nor the end of the story. (New Yorkers of a certain age may recall Riesel's nightly vituperative point/counterpoint debates with Dr. Martin Abend on the Channel 5 Ten O'Clock news, in which Abend demolished Riesel's leftist idiocy - jjs)

She personally called all the NGOs to find out who they were giving the money to
Not a single NGO had given any money to actual fire victims of the Pacific Palisades and Altadena fires
Reminder, investigators were able to track roughly $75 million had been granted to 120–188 nonprofits. Not a dime went to victims directly
Gavin Newsom created a NGO and got some of the money

Imagine being a member of CENTCOM's team, and know your life is threatened by the Left, who only have OPSEC for the nation's enemies. They want to make all your effort wasted, all the lives lost pointless, rather than sacrifices for a better future.

No poverty, no hate, no hunger, everything bad goes away if everyone just believes the right things.
Now, if you believed that what wouldn't you do? Wouldn't you be willing to force those wrong thinkers to think correctly or just...stop being?

I would like to know what the Saudi’s think, since they have always been the nominal leader of OPEC. But the UAE rulers have always been close to the Saudi’s, so I wonder if they gave tacit approval to the move.
It’s worth noting that the most militant troublemakers inside OPEC in the past were always Libya, Venezuela, and Iran. Oh, where are they now?

United Arab Emirates (UAE) has a major oil port outside the Strait of Hormuz. Fujairah, or Al Fujayrah. All other current UAE oil ports are inside the Strait. I am guessing UAE is now working to construct bigger pipelines to Fujairah, across or through the mountains that run down the center of the triangular piece of land south of the Strait. Also guessing UAE will be constructing pipelines west to the Red Sea, across Saudi Arabia.
Three of the Persian Gulf Arab oil states, all large exporters, do not have ports outside the Strait: Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar. They say they are planning to construct pipelines west to the Red Sea and/or northwest to the Mediterranean.
If only they had already done this!!!

Directed US applications to a dead end email.
So they can "certify" no qualified US applicants, requires a H1B visa.
All Tech companies are doing this; secret job board postings hidden from US citizens, AI to screen resumes to reject citizens, and more.
But guess who is also abusing the visa system to avoid hiring citizens?
Universities and colleges.
They're abusing the student work visa program for well below market wages.

CPW releases scant info on four wolf attacks on livestock or working dogs since the start oof the year. One cow, one dog, one calf in three separate attacks, and in the fourth attack eleven sheep. CPW withholds whether they were killed or merely maimed. Merely.
These violent maiming or killing attacks are euphemistically called "depredation events" by CPW. Sounds like something you would mark on your calendar.
Oddly, none of the four ranchers have filed for reimbursement with the state's compensation program. Makes me wonder if the process is intentionally overcomplicated.

Turnover of cabinet members is not unusual and certainly not with Trump. He often uses them like a baseball manager, right person for a specific task. People hacked on Bongino when he left but it was understood from day 1 he was only going to be there for a short time to help right the ship. Kash has confirmed it multiple times.
The DOJ had become the most corrupt institution in the government. It was filled from top to bottom with deep state actors. Why anyone is surprised the same DOJ that spent years conspiring against Trump, arresting people for parading on J6, sent armed agents to arrest people for praying outside abortion clinics and spied on Catholics for the crime of being Catholic didn't pivot in the blink of an eye to go after the people that hired them to do all of that is a mystery to me.
Job one at the DOJ was gutting as much of the corruption as possible and replacing it with honest law enforcement. That was Bondi's primary mission. Now comes the enforcement phase. Maybe this isn't Bondi's strength or maybe she just got tired of living on a military base with threats on her life.

Polis' husband is an animal rights activist, and one would not be out of line to suspect that the point of this program is to destroy the cattle ranchers, not liberate some wolves. Support for this program in Colorado is way down.

Probably because too many people who weren't attached to the Administration couldn't accept that things were happening that they weren't being told about and so she had become a distraction.
Way too many people have the attention span of a five year old and simultaneously insist that they be told everything, all the time, AND that no one should be taking time to tell them anything. These people tend to be easily manipulated by online 'experts'.

I didn't say that but you did latch on to the "she's always on FOX" talking point and wouldn't let go of the idea that nothing was happening even when multiple people said otherwise, frequently with links provided.
All of us get emotionally attached to ideas and it's hard to let them go. It doesn't make you stupid but all of us should question the narrative whenever it's being presented in a manner to push emotion. The Political Industrial Complex uses emotion to control us. They never - ever - use it for our benefit.

A judge ruled earlier that Zimmerman’s attorneys could not question Crump before the trial. The defense wants to ask Crump, under oath, more about witness number eight, the young woman believed to be Trayvon’s girlfriend. Zimmerman’s defense team appealed the judge’s ruling.
Now, in a new 41 page legal response, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is asking the appeals court to agree with the judge’s decision, and to not allow the defense to question Crump in a deposition.

From above, 'Hakeem Jeffries Stands by ‘Maximum Warfare’ Comments Against Republicans'
Embedded within the article is the obviously staged video piece Jeffries provided for the press regarding WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt demanding political rhetoric that has become normalized be toned downed. He's a disgrace, as are his staff writers for that response, imo.
>Times of the World, Karoline Leavitt LIVE | 'THIS IS DISGUSTING', Karoline Leavitt goes OFF on Kimmel’s Remark| US News(live)
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the media in a high-stakes briefing following a failed assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. As the sitting President recovers, federal investigators and the Secret Service are probing the major security breach that occurred during a public appearance. Leavitt provided updates on the President's condition, confirming his safety while detailing the administration's immediate response to the life-threatening incident. The briefing covered national security protocols, the pursuit of the perpetrator, and the global reaction as world leaders condemn the attack on the American head of state.

"They have to go through a vetting process which involves biometrics, background check, running them against all the government's databases," says Ahilan Arulanantham, who represents the Syrians in Wednesday's case. "Two misdemeanors*, you're out."
(Context: *Criminal offenses less serious than felonies that might get fines, probation, a tad of jail. Common examples include: Simple assault (minor physical altercation), petty theft/shoplifting (stealing low-value items), disorderly conduct, trespassing, first time DUIs, yada, yada.)
The Haitians do have one claim that does not fall under the umbrella of immigration. They contend that the Trump administration has discriminated against them based on their race. And they cite in particular some of Trump's more inflammatory language, for instance, claiming falsely in a presidential debate in September 2024 that Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, "are eating the dogs. The people that came in, they're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there."

Most conservative just refuse to grasp how corrupt.
They think it's still mostly Hamilton Burger types; the quaint delusion of "sure they're liberals but the kind that still is fair."
Obama's "fundamental transformation" started with the DOJ.
Removing any who were not radical leftists and stuffing the whole department with far-left DEI hires. The more unqualified, the better.
And he had the whole of government and media as a tailwind.
Remember those six that resigned because they wanted the ICE agent prosecuted for defending his life against Renea Good?
Every DOJ office in every city is full of those type.

There's an old story of a minster in ancient China who had a deer brought into a banquet. "Is that not a fine horse?" he said to them.
Several said that it was not a horse, but a deer. Others agreed with him that it was a horse.
The ones who said it was a horse were later persecuted and driven out. The ones who praised the "horse" remained at their jobs with neck attached.
The good and true people were driven out, to be led by sycophants instead.
In a related situation, funny parallels are occurring elsewhere, when the "d!ckmen" must be called "wymen".

- Six AI datacenters have been proposed in a small rural town in Pennsylvania, the equivalent of 51 Walmart Supercenters or three-and-a-half median meteorite late bombardment impact craters. (Tom's Hardware)
The town of Archbald is an unremarkable former coal-mining town that just happens to lie right on a main power line from the Susquehanna nuclear power complex.
But you gotta build those datacenters. They're the hot new thing and you can't miss out.

It costs twice as much as the desktop card. And is also slower; Nvidia's current laptop models are all one step lower in spec than the desktop cards. The laptop 5090 is really a 5080 with more RAM, and the 5070 is a 5060 Ti.

Whatever is cheapest, assuming that you ignore the man-hour cost of converting from one to another.
The same weasels that assume if you aren't typing keys on your computer, you aren't doing work for the company as a regular full-time employee. (Thinking about how to structure future work isn't work, after all.)
Same company is in full-on for AI. They are tracking token use for each employee for the agents they are paying for.
I write software; I'm not a business analyst (BA). Using an AI requires writing specifications (which is a BA job) so the agent knows what to do. BAs are important, don't get me wrong; a decent project manager will kill for a good BA.
I don't want to be one, which is why I am not one.

Local ratepayers stood for a doubling of water rates ten years ago, to increase processing capacity to take care of all projected demand for the rest of my life. It's about half paid for. The new "AI" center will neatly use up every drop of that new capacity.
Ditto, big new gas pipe feeding new power plant. Data center's own rep allows as how our power rates will triple for ten years or so until they get their on-site power approved and built, and after that will just use up all the capacity of the new pipeline.
I don't give a damn about your keyboard slamming and yabbering. I paid for those utilities, and they want them for free. They also want us to give them the land literally for free, and not pay any taxes for 20 years. Just sit the hell down.

She personally called all the NGOs to find out who they were giving the money to
Not a single NGO had given any money to actual fire victims of the Pacific Palisades and Altadena fires
Reminder, investigators were able to track roughly $75 million had been granted to 120–188 nonprofits. Not a dime went to victims directly
Gavin Newsom created a NGO and got some of the money

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - April 28, 2026 [Doof]
From THE MAN WHO DARES
I'd hate to see what the "slowest moving" project is Key Bridge contract canceled: Gov. Wes Moore's 'fastest moving' claim tested
Maryland’s plan to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge hit a major setback Tuesday, as state officials abruptly canceled a key construction contract, undercutting Gov. Wes Moore’s repeated claim that the project was the nation’s “fastest-moving” large infrastructure effort. The decision to off-ramp contractor Kiewit Infrastructure Co. from the project’s critical second phase came after its proposals “far exceeded” state estimates, according to U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. The move forces Maryland back into the market for a new builder at a pivotal moment, as project costs have surged from roughly $1.8 billion to more than $5.2 billion. It transforms what Moore has framed as a model of speed into a high-stakes test of the administration’s ability to manage one of the most expensive and politically scrutinized infrastructure projects in the country.I imagine if this was in a state with a Republican governor and legislature, the new bridge would be open already. This is just shameful. ----- A bridge of a different sort World’s largest wildlife crossing finally has an opening date
After cost overruns and delays pushed back the project by at least a year, the world’s largest wildlife bridge finally has a ribbon-cutting date. The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing over the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills, north of Los Angeles, is expected to open on Dec. 2, four-and-a-half years after work began, project leaders announced Wednesday during an Earth Day news conference. “What a journey this has been! And we cannot wait to celebrate with you all,” managers said. *** The project has been an emotional journey for those involved. Its goal is to reinvigorate Southern California’s iconic mountain lion population by restoring genetic diversity. Other animals that frequently get hit by cars on the 101 also stand to benefit, including bears, bobcats, foxes, coyotes, and deer.Video segment at the link. Looks kinda cool, I think. What say you? ----- The science is settled! Does Beer Have a 'Surprising Health Benefit'? Here's What The Science Says
Saying that a beer provides 15% of your daily vitamin B6 sounds impressive, but it ignores the wider dietary picture. Most people in the UK are not deficient in vitamin B6. And the same amount, or more, can easily be obtained from a standard healthy diet. A number of foods, such as potatoes, chickpeas, fortified cereals, grains, meat, and vegetables, provide vitamin B6 without the need for alcohol. *** The paper also links vitamin B6 to important neurological functions, but does not provide evidence that beer consumption meaningfully improves brain health. It correctly states that vitamin B6 is involved in making the brain chemicals serotonin and dopamine, and confirms that beer contains measurable amounts of B6. However, the interpretation that beer is therefore "brain boosting" is problematic.Beer is good for you! ----- Moron approved behavior

70's and we all loved it.
One guy was dating a classmate of mine. Some not dating or not often. I was their concert mascot I guess, or the chick who would go anywhere anytime. Two of them almost talked me into skydiving. This was pre bf/husband. Half of them liked him, half of them did not and too bad.
Great concert, I'm sure. I'm also sure I don't remember much of it but I was there.
Thanks, Doof, for the ONT.
I also agree on the dumb people on the Internet. Not on this blog, of course of intelligent people male and female.
On another I want to scream, "You dumbarse, Google it!" Yet then I feel badly for someone so stupid or wanting a link and ignore them.
Tonight there was a total dimwit (super dumb very often. I think he might be Somolian) saying that Comer probably has "his" people in the US Marshal's. Right. Right. Right. Of course.
I'd like to send a US Marshal to arrest this guy for being dumb and having a bird he is in love with (I am serious). I guess better than a furry.

They have had animal overpasses on the Trans-Canada Highway through Bumf National Park for decades now. Much narrower than that monstrosity, but planted with trees, and decorated to blend in with the terrain.

Lol. No, not quite that olde...was in 9th grade and watched the dirty druggie hippies on tv.
Once I was in HS we saw some great bands.
Mountain (who was at Woodstock) was my first due to Mississippi Queen. I went with my brother and friends.
I think second was the Allman Brothers.
Third: Doobie Brothers with a rare date, one and done.
Many more in college. Then Jethro Tull in 1975, the day before I was to return West to nursing school and the bass player fancied meeting me. My brother and friends said no to the after party and ended my only chance as a groupie.
Then many more in college. I had a lot of fun!

My Marine father was ticked off that fire ants were almost eradicated in the South. The EPA or similar stepped in and stopped it due to a rare minnow or stupid fish no one cared about. Planes used to fly over and dump poison, which did not faze me since I rode bikes through DDT clouds (and explains a lot).
Fire ants on our cattle farm built ant beds like you see in Africa. Can kill calves if they fall on them. One of my sons had an allergy and I once scraped them off his legs in FL as he waited to cross a street with his bike. Nasty ants and mean repeat biters. Glad to have left them behind when we moved!

Crowd surges are scary. The glass doors bowed with our bodies against them for Jethro Tull.
Then for ZZ Top security lost control of those in the stadium above us on the floor. Fun times! My guys held onto my arms as we were standing on chairs.
At Mardi Gras the crowd surge pushed my head up against the flank of a police horse. Which was better than his tail, before we got into Pat O'Brien's.

It's a great idea til a deer falls off the top onto your windshield. Maybe a fence I can't see as I barely looked. A dirt bike landing on your windshield would not be great, either.

But since that doesn't keep the deer and elk from getting onto the highway, every quarter mile or so they put in a one-way dirt ramp that allows the deer or elk to walk up and jump back down outside the fence line. I always mentally try to calculate the cost per mile of this mitigation effort. Seems spendy to me.

Wow. I stay calm for everything unless snakes are involved, which cause me to levitate & run in space til my feet touch ground.
I was alarmed but not panicked for my crowd surges.
Two of my guy friends and I did get busted at Disneyland and I felt a huge panic coming on but stayed quiet. We/they did not know about security cameras in the parking lot. We were very excited to ride Space Mountain as we called ourselves the Space Cadets.
They put us on golf carts & asked for ID. Which always led me to they are going to call my parents in MS freak out. Then they confiscated my friend's stuff & kicked us out of the park. That was my first trip to Disneyland & I saw the parking lot but lived. Crazy times.
I was going to California to see the beach and ride back with one of my classmates who lived above me in the old rental party house to start the semester. I still saw the Pacific and rode back with her.
My friends I did not see again til I got back in town.

Animals don't look both ways before crossing the street. Hell, most humans don't. Animals won't stare into the distance, and think..."hey, check that out. A safe place for me to cross over the road. That's great."
Nope, a coyote will lick it's nuts after chowing down on a rather slow rabbit, and head across all four lanes for no particular reason other than it feels like it.

IANAL, but politics junkies naturally absorb a bit just trying to understand what's going on. The courts are tedious, because their remit is purely backward-looking. (This is a side effect of the separation of powers, and annoying but positive in sum.) So, they will do infuriating things like refusing to consider whether a ballot question is improperly worded until after it's been voted on, since an issue isn't "ripe" if no harm has yet occurred for the court to remedy.
Since there are four or so fatal flaws with the Virginia gerrymander, and whenever one is dealt with the next is mooted and not "ripe" yet, it could take several years of re-voting and re-re-voting to resolve them all. The alternative is actually worse, since a forward-looking judiciary is also legislative and/or executive, and I need to re-read the Federalist Papers for details but mixed powers are prone to intractable corruption.

I don't know if there is a laser option for cataracts. The long-standing standard treatment is refractive lens replacement, which is now an outpatient surgery done with mild sedation, and local anaesthetic. Quite painless, and takes less than 15 minutes. You can see the results right away, but you wear a patch for a day or two. I had it done a few years ago, and have been delighted with the results. Wore Coke bottle glasses or soft contacts from childhood. No more! I use reading glasses for real close work, but none for distance vision.

I've got early stage cataracts, both eyes. Now, it's just annoying, especially at night. Starbursts and halos around lights.
In daytime, I see the odd shadows and some odd color effects (caused by light scattering so forth) in the side vision and that prompted me to get an eye exam last year, where they discovered the cataracts. Doc said I'm one of those that notice subtle effects more than others, apparently.

You missed the keyword 'Southie'. Only Bostonites think that's distinctive, being so solipsistic they can't imagine any other city having a south side.

Back in the late '80's environmentalists + politicians dreamed up the notion of human-free wildlife biodiversity corridors connecting coastal Calif regions to the Sierra. The Clintons began grabbing fed public land and designating them as wilderness protection lands.
Left wing conservatory groups + State agencies badgered coastal and valley land owners to sell off large chunks of land. Silicon Valley venture capitalists got mixed up in some of those deals. RFKjr. working as frontman was hovering around the SV people (Brightsource/Mojave.) Dianne Feinstein, too.

Find a good ophthalmologist who's been been in the business for a few decades and knows what they're doing. They can tell you what you need. Cataracts require lens replacement, which is a painless outpatient procedure, with quick recovery.

The lens in your eye is like two dishes set together face to face. The "dish" part is a transparent membrane and the space between is filled with a jelly-like liquid. That jelly gets cloudy and that's called a cataract.
To fix it, a very small slice is made in the membrane, a probe is inserted and ultrasonics are used to completely liquify the jelly, which is sucked out through the same probe. The jelly is replaced by a transparent plastic piece shaped to fit inside the membrane. Medicare will.pay for all of this, but there is an extra cost option. If you use glasses, that piece of plastic can be shaped to correctly focus the light on your retina, eliminating your glasses. This is called an IntraOcular Lens (IOL).

The artisanal, bespoke, butterfly/cougar overpass in Agoura Hills was already over $100M last we saw, compared to $15M for such bridges in other states. It's the basis for my current estimate that blue-state public spending is 85% grift. Since European countries are like blue states, but older and with more entrenched corrupt cliques, this helps explain why they're basically supine against a lightly-armed barbarian invasion: they literally can't muster resources to do things.

Lasers have nothing to do with primary cataract surgery. They're used in a separate procedure, used to reshape the lens to correct things like nearsightedness.
Now, sometimes, after the primary surgery, the cataract will return. This time, the mechanism is that the membrane holding the plastic lens will turn cloudy. In this case the treatment does involve a laser, a much more powerful one that basically melts away the center of the membrane on both sides of the plasticl lens, leaving a donut shaped remnant of of the membrane holding the lens in place.
I've had both surgeries. Both eyes have IOLs in them, and the cataract reoccured, so I had the second laser procedure.
Now, this is my experience, but there are always new procedures and devices. Your opthomologist may do something different, but the end result is removing the cloudy material and replacing it.

The colored bands you see on the horizon from those orbital videos are airglow. Here's a bunch:
https://is.gd/vgVJdY
The different layers have different colors. If you scroll down a bit you'll see one of the Milky Way and storms over Africa (the ISS blesses the rains over Africa).
The greens and reds are the higher layers, and you can't really see the stratosphere or the troposphere except right at the terminator at orbital sunrise and set.
That rains in Africa goes on until sunrise, and right there at the last you'll see a thin blue line. That's the stratosphere. Look off to the side as the sun gets higher and you'll see another really thin line under the blue. That's the troposphere.
That thin blue line and the even thinner one below is what keeps up pressurised agin' the vacuum. That's our very thin little security blanket.

DDS - Apologies for piling on here - but I have to agree with the comments above. Cataract surgery is very commonplace now, and that's because the technology has improved to a point where what was once a very technically difficult surgery has become refined to a quick and minimally invasive outpatient procedure. And, more importantly is that it is effective. My dad had it back in, I think 2012 or 2013, and the effects were almost instantaneous - with almost 20-20 clear vision restoration. He passed on a few years ago - but his vision was excellent until the end. Definitely consult your ophthalmologist about it. Best of luck!

"Crepuscular" comes from the Latin meaning "twilight".
I did not know that.

I only know that because housecats are crepuscular, wakeful at both dusk and dawn, so it's against their nature to sleep the whole night through. The flip side of catching naps throughout the day -- as obligate carnivores do to conserve energy -- is being awake when you (and their prey) least expect it.

Doggo adds to the precipitation. Rain and storms. Death Valley is experiencing a "superbloom" after record rainfall. He thought it was a honeypot. Doggo is excited to be adopted from the shelter. Welcome company. Rain in the Grand Canyon causes temporary waterfalls. Rain in Glencoe, Scotland. Rain in Edinburgh. Wet ducklings. Guy "mines" the streets of NYC, digging up the dirt in the cracks in the pavement outside jewelry shops, looking for dropped gems and precious metals. He made $800 one month so he's like a millionaire.

At the end we were producing 54,000 foot jumbo rolls (2.1 feet wide) of tape at 4,000 feet per minute. We were making millions of cassettes a month and supplied the entire Western Hemisphere.

Hitler's Führerbunker began as a ballroom extension to a building called the Old Chancelley to which an air raid shelter was added, eventually transformed into a luxurious bunker 50 feet underground that could be hermetically sealed to protect the VIP occupants from chemical weapons.
T***p's fanatic emphasis on ballroom/bunker might indicate that he anticipates, or will precipitate, a nuclear exchange of some sort, from which he, his staff, & (probably) selected billionaire donors might be protected.
otherwise, it is hard to explain how important this ballroom has suddenly become.

In the post-Soviet USSR "left lines" were strung in many cities to connect to main lines that would be hot when lots of other lines were cold most of the time. Power generation could be spotty in many places. Ditto water pressure, of course. Always checked and if there was water flowing you'd fill the buckets that were thoughtfully provided, plus a bathtub if there was one.

EVERYONE involved in the case was a mental disaster for a long time.

I remember that incident being mentioned here before.
I immediately thought of it tonight when they stated talking about the tree eating machine.

They have blade brakes now for table saw that can stop the saw in a tiny fraction of a second. Surely some analog of that technology could be applied to wood chippers and other inherently dangerous machines. Perhaps some sort of guard around the chute opening, that if pressed with sufficient force, would close a switch and fire a powder-actuated brake wedge to stop the drum in a quarter revolution. Use shear pins in the drive from motor to the drum, so if the drum got stopped by brake, the pins would shear, and the motor could continue to run, unharmed.

MkY can tell you better than I, my experience was a long time ago and I'm sure safety features have greatly improved since then. But some stuff is just inherently dangerous. The whole point of a chainsaw is to have an exposed chain driven set of blades. And if you are going to chip big pieces of trees they gotta get in there some how.
I actually loved the job. Got to be outside playing with all kinds of toys. Also taught me to give a lot of respect to the guys who do it.

Don't neglect the geochemical aspect of some gold placers. There is pretty good evidence that some bacteria in the soil can create a local reducing environment that causes gold to precipitate out of solution, and actually "gold-plate" the microbes. Uranium is another metal that can be reduced out solution by decaying organic matter.

Women don't, usually, think horrid pain is funny. Men like watching the three stooges, but women? Not so much. Just doesn't tickle the funny bone.
Likewise, women will never know what it is like to be kicked in the balls. Just as men will never know what it is like being a woman, no matter how many perverts claim they "feel like a woman." What they feel is a parody of being a woman, not the actual experience.

I've tried multiple times to read her stuff. It just does not hold my interest, even when she's trying (in a literary fashion, natch) to emulate a horror story or a fantasy. Like a lot of literary types, she gets some of the tropes right, but fails on the background, or at making the story gripping on some level.
Huxley managed it with Brave New World, and there have been a few others who succeeded. But most often when literary types try to do genre, it doesn't come off.

America's Sweetheart and Noted World War Eleven History Buff has called Americans dumb. Has she seen the figures for Somali IQ?

We know they claim that a lot of kids are "autistic" to defraud the taxpayers into paying mothers and family friends to be "caretakers" for the fake-austistic children.
More Biden COVID fraud.
Pfizer's COVID antiviral, bankrolled by Biden administration, doesn't help high-risk adults: studyThe Supreme Court has overturned a leftwing judge's injunction, okaying the Texas redistricting map. Even CNN isn't buying child-death-wishing Virginia AG's non-arguments about the inarguable illegality of the Virginia gerrymander referendum. The state constitution requires 90 days between the introduction of a referendum and the vote, and they just didn't even bother to follow this rule. (They also ignored the constitution's requirement that an amendment must be first passed in one state assembly and then, only after an intervening election, re-passed by another state assembly.) Even CNN's fat-faced partisan plumper dismisses his whining about an "activist state judge" and points out that this isn't about a judge, this is about a simple on-its-face "math problem."
New England Journal of Medicine lets Anthony Fauci and his onetime deputy play down results in editorial alongside study from U.K., Canada trials. Critics suspect profit motive played role in long-delayed publication.
By Greg Piper The Biden administration threw its weight and reportedly more than $12 billion in taxpayer money behind Pfizer's Paxlovid despite the COVID-19 antiviral's penchant for rebound infections -- including in the First Couple and then-directors of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. A long-awaited study published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests the nirmatrelvir-ritonavir combination marketed as Paxlovid, with nearly 24 million courses federally purchased at $530 each, is no better at protecting vaccinated adults at elevated risk than it is at mitigating so-called long COVID, as Pfizer's own research found two years ago. The "two open-label platform trials," known as PANORAMIC in the U.K. and CanTreatCOVID in Canada, found Paxlovid "did not reduce the incidence of hospitalization or death among vaccinated higher-risk participants" -- 50 and older and 18-50 with "coexisting conditions" -- who tested positive for COVID and "had been unwell for 5 days or less." "We found no evidence that early treatment" reduced their "already-low incidence of hospitalization or death in either trial and were unable to identify any prespecified subgroup with compelling evidence of treatment effect," the authors said. It's just the latest black eye for Pfizer, which canceled a trial for its new COVID vaccine for healthy 50-64 year-olds this month due to lack of interest and did not answer a Just the News query for its response to the peer-reviewed study. The Canada Paxlovid trial similarly ended early "because of slow recruitment" and its supply being discontinued, the study said. To play down the new results, NEJM published a same-day editorial by former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci and his then-deputy director for clinical research, Cliff Lane. The new trials show the findings from Pfizer's EPIC-HR trial, the initial basis for the feds going all-in on Paxlovid, don't apply "to the current circumstances, in which most adults have varying degrees of preexisting immunity and the circulating variants are different," they wrote. "However, one should be cautious not to overinterpret the new data and conclude that nirmatrelvir--ritonavir is not of current value," they said.

Experts warn the terse order marks a troubling shift in how the court turns emergency rulings into de facto precedent on voting rights.
At some point, the shadow docket will become the new filibuster. John Roberts is a partisan hack.
These traitors should be made an example of. Jail these people who betray our country and constitution.
It’s ridiculous these judges swore they would leave Roe v Wade alone and then were allowed to overturn it. They lied on their hiring interviews and need to be held accountable
I'm sure the media is going to ignore this and focus on Virginia, but the Blue wave is just getting taller as time goes on with Trump constantly pissing everyone off.
the incoming blue wave might surprise the greedy Republicans in Texas. There's been talk about Texas turning purple for years now. With the Trump administration actively pissing everyone off they could easily lose seats in Texas.

And they did not moderate the content- and that led to... well, porn. And it became a huge cash cow.
Its an interesting, kind of sad story. The owner who kicked it recently tried as recently as a few years ago to ban adult content, but that led to a massive revolt. Plus now, in the wake of its success you have other services that are similar.
I'd wager the success rate though on these platforms is similar to the number of kids who play high school basketball making it to the NBA.

Dear Miz Waters: In the mid-70's we were told "clump of cells" before 12th week. Which sort of made it ok to others I knew. In reality there is a heartbeat at 8wks on ultrasound. Babies feel pain at 12 weeks from study.
I recently mourned a 9wk grandchild of miscarriage.
Planned Parenthood has a history not only of lying to women but eugenics. With no thought at all of the father.
I note you did not answer the question.
I thank God I never had an abortion, but there is forgiveness by God for those who are haunted by this. I pray for you. There are resources for you.
I want someone to now check DeLauro's gender. A brave soul, very drunk or doped up to check.

But I agree. And I cringe at quite a few times when the "right" just borrows terminology from the left--like "the right", for instance.
If you don't see that's just a bag given for you to hold while they dump Nazis and Italian fascists into it and then blame you for the contents they put with you in the bag, you're not watching the sleight of hand.
I guarantee you no meth-dealing Aryan nation fuckhead wants what I want out of a country, besides, perhaps marginally.

IDF uncovered and today blammo'd! a yuuuge tunnel complex, 10km from the border. They're systematically search for/destroying the enormous and diverse Hezbollah infrastructure in the zone they occupy.
A real highlight today was the revelation that a 12-yr old Lebanese girl contacted the IDF's Arabic-language spokesman to report that her school had Hezbollah weapons and hidden underground military facilities/storage. Of course *she* is being investigated and punished, presumably. This last bit lends the story more credibility, actually.

Me too. Although you can take a lot of flack for that simple opinion on this board.
I think I learned a context-less appreciation of physical beauty by simply learning to draw faces and anatomy.
So what I think of a person doesn't really enter into the assessment.

It's not a matter or "forgiving" anything. They don't harm me having political opinions I don't. I'm practiced at listening to what they say, and assessing if they even bother to make a case for it. But most times, no. So, it's just tiresome is all.
And I definitely don't think you can lay Hitler at the feet of Wagner, or any one influence. Including Humboldt or Feuerbach or any of the influential writers during the German "renaissance".

You don't understand, the left doesn't make comparisons. They make mouth noises intended to generate process and to fill the gaps while they're maneuvering to start killing you. There is no logic there because they don't do logic; they are a post-logic belief system. They are right; everyone else who isn't them is wrong, on an epistemological level. That's it.
We have some amount of time left before this becomes patently obvious to non-leftists. Not sure if that will be before or after the prog killings really start in earnest.

That is an accurate statement. It didn't change physical properties one bit between "I'm not going to take Trump's vaccine (because that would open up the streets)" and "YOU'RE going to take the Jab, dammit!!!"
But suddenly, when it could be mandated, it was a cure-all. And now Paul's here saying you can blame Trump because Biden tried to force the SAME Jab on people (actually that's wrong, Biden didn't do shit).
Don't they see, we can't possibly be as dumb or gullible as they are.
But, actually I expect to hear in the near future "Nobody was ever forced to take the vaccine!! Where do you get that, you silly conspiracy person, you!!" Because they think it's possible that their non-functioning memory means something to somebody with a (as yet) functioning one.

Eye of beholder, as Pug says. Jennifer's eyes are hooded unless she's had plastic surgery.
I am an old supermodel and my eyes are a 9 or 10 compared to hers.
I am not lying as I still get compliments from women 30yrs younger noticing my peepers. Green lasers. Striking I'm told (by a plastic surgeon after carving up my face years ago for a basal cell cancer...which healed and you can't tell). When you get to be a Nana you take whatever compliment you can get!

It literally, in black and white, says they can't do this. They were SUED, before the election, to prevent them from breaking the law, and the state supreme court said they could not be sued before breaking the law, only after.
So, they had full knowledge they were breaking the law. That it is now getting tossed by the courts isn't because of an activist judge. It is because the clearly violated the law.

I would not lose a thing because I'd never be so needy and stupid to go to his hotel room alone. And second I would injure him so badly I would not care if my career was ruined. He is disgusting. I can't read the current stories as the potted plant a few years ago nearly finished me off.
The three Oscar winners who never said a word against him:
1. Streep
2. Paltrow (her first nomination)
3. Lawrence (her first nomination)
It was a deal cut in a bathroom hotel visit. Actually Paltrow did talk about him because Brad Pitt was ticked off.
However, once he was convicted total silence from the three above. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Streep's acting is better than the other two by a bit... or her accents. The other two can't act.
At the time he was rumored to control the "academy." Which upped his game in his bathrobe, which I'd prefer not to think about.
Instead of the old casting couch it was the hotel room for a "meet and greet." Hurl.
