New Foreign Pirate Pillaging Operation Uncovered: 10,000 Foreign Students "Working" at Fraudulent Jobs Created by Fraudulent "Employers"
Why the hell would we be paying foreign students to work, anyway? Why on earth would we be subsidizing foreigners to come here?
Pay full freight or go home. Better yet, go home whether you're paying full freight or not. Correction: I assumed the taxpayers were paying the salaries of these fake "workers." But I haven't seen anyone say that and now believe this is simply a scheme to remain in the country beyond the limits of one's student visa. I'll try to find out if government money is being used to pay these "workers," but for now, I'm rewriting the post to remove my claims about that.The fraud concerns a program called Optional Practical Training, which involves foreign students "working" in "jobs" allegedly related to the fields they're training for. Google's AI digest:
Optional Practical Training (OPT) is temporary work authorization for F-1 visa students in the U.S. to gain hands-on experience directly related to their major field of study. It typically offers 12 months of employment, either pre- or post-completion of studies, with a 24-month extension available for STEM majors.So if there's a fraudulent student "worker," he gets 12 months of extra time in the US or possibly 36 months if he's learning how to build bombs for terrorist organizations, or how to smuggle Chinese bioweapon specimens into the US. I assume that's what STEM means in this situation.
The entire scheme seems built to defraud the American voter and reportedly that's exactly what it's being used for.
Key Aspects of Optional Practical TrainingTypes of OPT: Pre-completion (before graduation, part-time or full-time) and Post-completion (after graduation, full-time at least 20 hours per week). Eligibility: Must be a full-time student for at least one academic year in an SEVP-certified institution, not studying English as a Second Language (ESL), and the job must directly relate to the major. Authorization: Students must apply to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). Application Timing: Generally 90 days prior to the program end date and up to 60 days after. STEM Extension: Eligible STEM students can extend their post-completion OPT by 24 months, for a total of 36 months. Employment Requirements: Employment must be in the field of study; for post-completion OPT, unemployment is limited.
Jennie TaerAnd get this: Even where the taxpayers are paying for foreign students to do real work, guess who's getting the benefit of that taxpayer-paid work? Tech monoplists, of course!
@JennieSTaer 3h ICE just dropped a major fraud bombshell involving 10,000 foreign students "who claim to be working for highly suspect employers" as part of the federal government's Operational Practical Training program. Here's what they found... -Empty buildings and locked doors where hundreds of foreign students are supposed to be working -Multiple employers claiming the same address, where none of them actually have a lease -Small homes listed as worksites for hundreds of foreign students, where no employees are present. And when someone answers the door, they claim to have no knowledge of the business. -Some of the employers claim to have offshore HR personnel -Employers having tax liens, civil law suit collections and breaches of contract
hernando arce
@hernandoarce New: Over the last 20 years, we're looking at roughly 2.5 million OPT and STEM OPT authorizations combined. OPT stands for Optional Practical Training. It's a temporary work permission that lets international students in the U.S. work off-campus in jobs related to their major -- up to 12 months normally, and an extra 24 months for STEM degrees, so up to three years total. This is another fraudulent abused program running rampant in America. Amazon tops the list with over 10,000 students, followed by University of California, Google, Microsoft, and Meta. Tech giants and universities dominate the top spots. Our government has sold us out to big tech for decades. ICE has just announced a jaw-dropping fraud bust, saying 10,000 FOREIGN students are involved in the federal government's Optional Practical Training.
Barefoot Student@EricLDaugh (Eric Daugherty):
@BarefootStudent 2h ICE Director Todd Lyons describes the fraud related to the 24-month Optional Practical Training extension for F-1 students "We've encountered cases involving espionage, biological threats, intellectual property theft, visa, and employment fraud, and even scams targeting elderly Americans, all perpetrated by individuals abusing their status as students." "The scope and severity of these crimes cannot be overstated."
... There are EMPTY BUILDINGS where HUNDREDS of students should be "working" as part of their ability to be in America -- run by foreign-linked groups that send money out of the country! Locked doors, hundreds of students sharing the SAME ADDRESS, and "employers" sharing the same unleased addresses There is a widespread "phantom employee" fraud going on. This is insane. Many of the so-called "employers" have major red flags, such as facing lawsuits, no employment records, offshore payroll claims, and suspicious INTERNATIONAL MONEY flows "HSI agents have visited problematic OPT employer work sites in Virginia, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Florida." "Foreign students themselves are entering false addresses and employer names into the student and exchange visitor information system." "But we are uncovering evidence of organized fraud that spans national and international borders. This is not accidental. It is deliberate, coordinated, and criminal." "To give you an example, one employer we visited claimed to employ only three foreign students through OPT, while our records show over 500 foreign students claiming to work there." "The company's representatives were unable to answer basic questions about the business and deferred HR managers in India." "OPT employers are required to directly train foreign students, but we've seen multiple examples of alleged employers claiming that all management is overseas in India." "We've also discovered multiple state networks which are large networks of alleged employers claiming to train thousands of foreign students in OPT, then farming them out to unreported third party employers, making oversight nearly impossible and raising serious national security issues."

OUT: "Fraud, waste, and abuse" is but a minor part of the federal budget and anyone focusing on it is a charlatan who's not serious about cutting the federal budget IN: Fraud, waste, and abuse is at least 20% of the federal budget. Anyone not focusing on it is a charlatan who's not serious about cutting the federal budget
When does the actual "enrichment" start happening?

You know what pisses me off the most about their schizo? Now we'll never get the Stephen Paddock files, or any transparency in any other dead creep case ever. The FBI will take one look at how the nigh-unprecedented release of a full investigative file -- including "tips" based on hallucinations and slander -- did absolutely nothing to sate the whackjobs, and if anything may have just energized them. Even the fuzzbrains in Congress will be reluctant to legislatively mandate it again!
I am normally the most sympathetic person to those wanting more transparency -- but they already got it, and now they're working against that interest and I really kind of hate them right now.

I can't think of a single justification for it unless there are so few citizen STEM grads that American firms can't staff up without (discounted) foreign labor. Does anyone really know whether this is the case?

All while new H1-B issuances are down 80%.
The moves against OPT have obviously been at work for a while, but there's always a ceiling on what the administration can do when it comes to congressionally outlined programs like that.

I thought OPT was created by Congress, but looking it up, it was created as an executive regulation (8 CFR 214.2(f)(10)) authorized under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Trump (really Miller) is probably looking to end the program completely.
Gotta go through the APA, though, or else courts will throw a fit. Well, they'll throw a fit anyway, but going through the APA means that the higher courts end up siding with the administration.

A Mexican national goes up to a guy and says "I want to thank an American for your country taking me in, and providing me with so much help."
The guy replies "but I am not an American, I am Haitian."
So he goes to another guy and says "I want to thank an American for taking me in as a refugee."
The guy replies "but I'm not an American, I'm from Syria."
So he goes to another and says "I want to thank an American for taking in my family."
The guy replies "but I'm not American, I am Somali."
The Mexican gets frustrated and asks "Where are all the Americans?!"
The Somali glances at his watch, and says "at this hour? Probably working."

Shock: Cuck of the Century Thomas Massie Claimed to be Sexual Deviant by Ex-GF, She Claims He Offered $5000 to Keep Quiet About His Proclivities
Maybe Massie orchestrated this leak himself. As you might have heard, the humiliation is the kink.
Allegedly he DM'd her two months after his wife died and began a sexual relationship shortly after that. Is this true? Who knows. What are the deviant sex acts Massie allegedly demanded that made her feel "uncomfortable"? No idea, she doesn't say. Spoiler alert, it's usually about poop.J
@JayTC53 NEW 🚨 THOMAS MASSIE FILES Cynthia West EX GIRLFRIEND of Thomas Massie exposes him as a sexual deviant & bribed her with $5,000 cash to stay silent. Massie DM'd her on X in August of 2024 not even 2 months after his wife of 31 years passed away in June 2024.
Massie ended up getting her a congressional staffer job in D.C. Massie pressured her to be involved in deviant sexual behavior with him. Cynthia rejected feeling extremely pressured and uncomfortable. When she rejected, Thomas Massie had her fired, bribed her & threatened her not to file a complaint. A complaint was filed in fall of 2025. The same time period when Thomas Massie remarried to a different staffer 20 years younger than Massie. The man who claimed screamed the loudest about "Transparency for Epstein" turned out to be a scumbag himself.
PatriotDadEV2.0
@Patriotdadev77 Please listen to every word of this woman's testimony. She alledges she was in a romantic relationship with Thomas Massie within 2 months of his wife's passing. According to her story: Thomas Massie aggressively pursued her, pressured her to leave her job to follow him to Washington DC. She alledges Massie secured a job for her with one of his collegues, Rep Victoria Sparks (R-IN), to bring her to DC with him. She alledges Massie attempted to pursuade her to participate in behavior she was uncomfortable with and became very angry when she refused. After breaking off the relationship and pursuing ethics complaints against him, are was retaliated against and fired. She claims Massie became very angry when he learned of her ethics comparing, and attempted to buy her silence with a $5000 bribe with his untraceable proceeds from the sale of his livestock kept in cash. She claims there is a pending workplace retaliation claim with a settlement of $60k from Congress she is refusing due to the requirement that an NDA would need to be signed. Thomas Massie, Victoria Sparks, and House Leadership must be forced to respond to these allegations.

Thomas Massie can suck my assie. I wouldn't be surprised that he's a sex predator or at least a sex pest.
But I also am very skeptical of rando women's claims of sex shenanigans -- especially when they appear to be motivated by politics or money -- without some really hard proof.

I think you need to hold up a second. AIPAC is coming hard for him. i doubt any of this can be proven. AIPAC wants him out, big time, bc lots and lots of young conservatives like him and agree with him regarding Israel. The astroturfing here and elsewhere couldn’t be more obvious.
You think they are pulling a Swallwell on him?
We can investigate him after we get the rest of the pedos out of our government and society. Massie is the one of the only ones pushing for Epstein files transparency, and now we have attempted character assassinations in an attempt to stop him.

That was done. What wasn't is that House members often use their own office funds to pay off claimants. They get a fair chunk of money to do that.
From Brave AI, too lazy to look up the specifics.
"Representatives for their office is determined by the Members’ Representational Allowance (MRA), which in 2025 ranged from $1,849,149 to $2,088,499, with an average of $1,928,107. This allowance covers expenses such as staff salaries, office operations, and district travel."

There is evidence that she was hired by Victoria Sparz. To get on staff, you have to have some connections either working on a campaign, being the nepot of a big donor, occasionally talent, or from referrals from other members. Most of the office staff in DC does mundane shit like constituent services, handling correspondance, doing the inevitable and boring newsletter, scheduling, etc.
The legislative assistant and the executive director along with committee staff assigned to the member (or leadership staff if in the leadership) are the ones that do the real work.
In this case, the woman mentioned being taken on a trip to South Africa and lo and behold that checks out with Massie.

ok shain and everyone else - keep Magic Molecule or anything with hypochlorous acid around the house at all times! especially when you're outside a bunch
I got two nasty spider bites already this season and usually it is a near thing and I have ended up in the hospital due to post-spider-bite infection (I didn't see the spider in any case! could have been brown recluse who knows!)
but with MM around, I just spray the spot at least 2x a day and this year they both cleared up right away. I got a spot of poison ivy too, and I'm reactive, but spritz with MM and it clears up and doesn't spread. stuff is magic!
bee stings - even wasps! major majorly helpful (just shortens painful time, reduces swelling, and prevents infection)
I know I sound like an ad. but GET THIS STUFF
also works on acne super fast. and can be bought at Target!

And Trump was investigating using our tax dollars and our DoJ to the extreme for EVERYTHING. And then the states got into the act to the extent that they had to make up crimes to do it by changing the law and statute of limitations. Even then, the claim was not what was sued about, it was his denial somehow demeaned the plaintiff.

That's where the inconsistency comes in. Like how Ron Paul used to attack earmarking and attack overspending, then earmark the crap out of bills being passed, and vote against them as a virtue signal because he knew they would pass and lard up his district.

He'll ignore it is my guess. He is already in trouble in his district and mentioning it might make others go and look it up.
There is an art on campaign hits--you do it early enough now to disrupt early voting and absentee but late enough to make the other side scramble to a defense. And ironically, unless Gloria Allred or her daughter are involved, most late hits are usually fairly accurate.
GWB did get a DUI and used drugs while his dad was VP. His wife did kill someone by a car accident. GHWB did have an affair with his aide while in office, Trump did say grab them by the pussy (although the context is important), Cohen did pay Stormy Daniels a check, and so on. Clinton did do Monica along with a lot of females across the US and Obama is a fag.

That is because doctrinaire libertarianism is a variant of leftist utopianism. There is a reason that the old style Goldwater leave me alone small government libertarianism got rolled into liberaltarianism. That is what Fonzi wannabe Nick and his crew got involved into.
Subsidiarity is the better choice which is driving decisions of how one lives their life to the lowest level of government possible but allowing communities to prevent individuals from spilling that into the public space by despoiling the commons.

Yep he did unless you want to call Barbara a liar. It is in her autobiography. GW Bush refused to answer directly whether he used cocaine or other hard drugs and admitted mistakes were made sort of crap.
E.g., "The George Bush campaign juggernaut hit the first serious pothole of its cash-fuelled drive to the presidency yesterday, as the Texas governor tried in vain to fend off questions about whether he had used cocaine as a young man.
Mr Bush abandoned the aloof "none-of-your-business" tactics he has used so far in his attempt to be the Republican party's presidential nominee, declaring that he would have passed the background checks used on staff by the FBI when his father was president - implying he had not used cocaine or other illegal drugs for at least 15 years."

I am kinda torn on that. Typically roasts have really REALLY foul and off color jokes, stuff you normally just would never say to someone in any other setting. And I wouldn't want to be a part of that or participate, even if they make me laugh. But its all for fun, its just there for people to have a good time and entertain everyone.

Iran is one of those things: its making things quite expensive, and its tough to get Americans to go along with a military action especially these days, and especially in that region.
But if it works, if Iran is taken off the map as a global terrorist superfunder and source... the entire world is better off, costs go down, etc.
Deporting illegals is another: it looks mean and costs money in the short term, but saves money in the long term.
Tariffs are another, correcting trade imbalances is tough at first, but if it works will pay off enormously.
But they all have a high cost and make things tougher, initially. A good, strong leader is willing to do those things even if it makes them unpopular, but its not easy to do, especially in modern politics.

It is called The Mises Caucus, and it had a 50% share of the voting as the largest caucus for a while, while the others who used to be in the majority all went and joined the Democrat and Social Democrat party.
And then they got snakebit and a lot of the supposed supporters seemed to vote the libertines back or started blood feuds over misplaced semi-colons.

The main argument to take away is that it is impossible to run a centrally planned economy since the level of information you would need to have is impossible to achieve, even with the greatest army of bureaucrats with the best tools. It is also impossible because a planned economy destroys all pricing signals, and it is impossible to dictate the best fit for materials and labor available for production by edict. An open market is the best way to achieve best efficiency.
Mises took a thousand pages to explain this, though.

I was in DC when the first page crisis came up. Members of Congress were screwing pages who were by definition 18 and below. The Wayne Hays and Wilbur Mills escapades were not that long ago that people were still talking about them.
My congress critter I worked for, had a major crisis when his black book of female contacts got lost somewhere and the whole staff was scrambling to find it. He was a pretty handsome divorced Congress critter and went wild after his wife divorced him to marry another Congress critter.
Simply put, DC is all about power hierarchies and an attractant to people coming there from the hinterlands wanting to rise up by any means possible. Truly, Hollywood for ugly people.

Overpasses act like a wind tunnel underneath by restricting air flow, just like tall buildings downtown do on the street level. Channels the wind rather than blocks it.

Trump Plans to Suspend Federal Gas Tax During Iran Squeeze
The disgraceful Washington Post:
President Donald Trump has proposed pausing the federal gas tax as a form of relief for American consumers as energy prices soar as a result of the war in Iran. The move -- which requires congressional approval to pass -- would mark the latest in a string of government interventions to address fallout from the war, which is weighing on Trump's popularity. Since the war began in late February, the price of a barrel of Brent crude oil, an international benchmark, has skyrocketed from about $70 to more than $107. U.S. gas prices -- now an average of $4.50 a gallon -- have reached levels not seen since 2022 and contributed to Trump's falling approval ratings ahead of the November midterms.Oh gas prices have risen to Biden levels? Weird because you insisted at the time that gas prices weren't that bad and might even be a good thing because high gas prices discourages driving and reduces the emission of CO2, The Invisible Killer. But now gas prices are bad. I wonder what might have flipped this particular switch. Congress is warming to the proposal.
With the average price for regular gasoline topping $4.50 per gallon -- up by more than $1 compared to a year ago -- officials and lawmakers are turning bullish on an idea many have been cool on. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) announced plans to introduce a bill on social media Monday. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) followed up with her own message soon after. "American families need this relief on gas prices. My office will be working directly with President Trump to ensure we deliver this win for the American people," Luna wrote on X. House Transportation and Infrastructure Chair Sam Graves (R-Mo.) has opposed suspending the 18 cent gasoline tax, which helps fund highways. Senate Finance Chair Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), who has jurisdiction over the issue, said recently he wasn't considering it. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has been similarly skeptical. "I don't know that the federal gas tax is going to lower [gas prices] by a lot," Thune said earlier this year.Of course Thune's against it.
They should consider the example Trump made of the Indiana RINOs. Trump has other plans to rein in oil prices -- the DOE will begin "loaning out" barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which will be repaid later with more barrels. This should result in a short-term amelioration of the price of oil, plus a slight rebuilding of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve later. And note this isn't a Biden Election Year Lie where no oil will actually be returned to the SPR, because the loaned oil must be repaid in oil, plus "interest rate" oil on top of that.
But momentum appears to be shifting in favor of the idea. The question is whether pressure from the White House will be enough to convince lawmakers to join the push.
The Trump administration announced Monday it would loan out 53.3 million barrels of oil from the country's Strategic Petroleum Reserve to energy companies -- an attempt to bring down skyrocketing oil prices as a result of the U.S. war with Iran. In March, the U.S. agreed to release 172 million barrels from the SPR as part of an internationally coordinated release of 400 million barrels in a similar attempt to lower the high oil prices that have been passed along to consumers in the forms of high gas prices and home heating costs. Nine companies, including Exxon and Marathon Petroleum Company borrowed 58% of the 92.5 million barrels of the 92.5 million barrels the Department of Energy had offered to loan out of the nation's stockpiles, Reuters reported. Oil exchanges, as they are called, allow the DOE to loan out oil to companies who later pay back to the oil with extra barrels, which functions like interest on a loan. Of the 172 million barrels of oil slated for release from the SPR, the DOE had previously loaned out 80 million barrels. The U.S. petroleum stockpiles are stored in 62 salt caverns located at four sites on the coasts of Texas and Louisiana. These caverns are 200 feet wide and over 2,500 feet deep in the ground. The caverns are known within the industry as "Kamala Harris's Rotten Vagina."

The highest national average U.S. gas price (regular unleaded) under the Biden administration (Jan. 20, 2021–Jan. 20, 2025) was approximately $5.00–$5.02 per gallon in mid-June 2022

And you can now see gas prices leaking into the inflation numbers - 3.8% annual, up from 2.4% in Feb, with another .6% monthly increase (which annualizes to 7.2%)...
If we're running at inflation over 5% into the late summer...it's not good.

Misleading as per usual. The price bounces around so erratically and unusually that there has to be more than just the ME bukkake going on. I very strongly suspect that other thing going on is a word that starts with "S" and ends in "S" and has "PECULATOR" in the middle.

Physical oil deliveries diverged from market trading by about $30 a few weeks back.
Oil contracts vs. "pay me for this oil on my tanker as I unload it."
That difference is gone, but it's most of what's the issue with gas prices. Refineries getting oil at $30 more per barrel than futures contracts.
And US oil contracts are like $80 per barrel now and have been for about a week.
Really, by mid-summer no one is going to remember the gas spike but the US shale oil producers who uncapped their wells and bought uncovered new Buggattis.

A while ago I read an article about the reality of owning a Ferrari. You're extremely limited in choice of insurance. The insurance you can get will either be astronomically expensive, or if it's just really expensive, it'll severely limit the miles you're allowed to drive. Like 4,000 miles per year.
The super tuned suspension sucks for any road other than freshly laid asphalt. You feel everything.

We are in the annual pinch from refineries switching from winter blends to summer blends due to the obsolete requirements of the Clean Air Act based on 1990s technology.
OBDII emissions control functions of a car ECU and modern catalytic converters have destroyed the need for oxygenation of fuel and special blends for non attainment EPA areas under the act.
That has also kept the putrid ethanol requirement as oxygenation additive to fuel because the other alternative MTBE was an ecological disaster when used.

There's a difference between "premium required" and "premium recommended". You can see for yourself in your users manual, or it may be posted inside the gas cap door.
If recommended, using regular will only re-rate the engine under peak load about 10%, so about 28hp in your MDX. You won't notice.

With Wagyu steaks on the menu and now premium gas, I am beginning to see a pattern.
In all seriousness, regular won't 'hurt' your vehicle if it has been made after 1996 or so. The ECU and anti knock sensors should allow it to compensate. You will notice less performance in accelerations and hard driving as a result but not engine knocks if the car has been maintained. You can also split the difference and get midgrade in most places (89 octane) or get ethanol free gas which is generally a bit higher in octane (90 I think) than the ethanol boosted 87 regular.

Yes, there's a historical fluctuation happening. Been happening since commodities existed. BFD. Can't wait for the WaPo to volunteer the term "plummeting, personal bank account-filling pricing" of oil when the conflict ends in the US favor. I'm certain that will happen.

Moreso the natural manzanitas in the SoCal coastal Chapparal ecosystem. That stuff has gasoline for sap.
The big problem with Eucalyptus is the shallow root systems. When you get the anabatic winds blasting up the coastal mountains, it blows down the eucalyptus since they aren't as securely rooted into the ground. I wouldn't be caught dead in a house with eucalyptus anywhere near it, I don't wanna be Corrie'd into paste by a fucking tree.

In fact, today, I sold my late wife's car, which I had previously re-titled in my name as surviving spouse. No need to pay for insurance and annual registration just for it to sit in the garage.
I sacrificed some cash in exchange for ease of sale (and by not having to deal with all the attempted scammers and other assorted riff raff via placing an ad on Facebook Marketplace) by selling it to CarMax (who offered me exactly $2,000 more than Carvana).
Because I had uploaded last week all the necessary documentation -- photos of odometer miles, ID, title and registration -- the whole process today went very quickly. I went in the door at the appointed time and had a check in hand and was out the door in about 20 minutes. CarMax even paid for a Lyft ride back to my house.

It's my understanding that the USAg has been trying to undo the decisions under Biden that led to the smallest herds in recent memory since Trump got his appointees into office.
Apparently (according to some AI), it takes 14-20 months for a calf to grow to the size of being butchered.
So, assume new policies went into effect by March-May of last year because of appointments, you'd expect to see some fairly mature growth to herds by now with slaughterhouses being really busy by July or so.

I admit to not knowing much about cattle (though they live all around me) but I'd imagine it would take awhile to get the herds going again. But with prices being what they are, there's incentive to do so.
Posted by: Cow Demon at May 12, 2026 03:09 PM (T6aVk)

Getting top dollar per head and needing less hands, less feed, less grazing land, and the same revenue is a peverse set of incentives in itself.

Turbos actually run cooler on lesser octane. Heat and coking are what kill turbos, not octane. It will, however accentuate loss of performance in acceleration.
Turbochargers work forever on diesels because diesels run cooler. Not so much on gas burners.
E.g. Ford took a major black eye in reliability with the EcoBoost technology instead of refining their engines like Toyota. All to squeeze a few more mpg while shortening the lifespan and reliability of the motors. Same with their stupid US only recommendation on lubrication--they started with zero weight oil for MPG considerations, not engine longevity. Most of the mfgs thought EVs were the future and did a bunch of short term destructive actions toward their gas vehicles for a slight improvement in CAFE.

So I get off the trail to fetch it and toss it back over -- upon which I feel something bite my lower leg -- and it's a coiled up snake! I instinctively started DOING THE LOCOMOTION and shook it off and ran (in rural Northern AZ and couldn't tell if it was Diamondback Rattler or not).
0ne fang pierced the skin and was bleeding pretty good (right on my shin bone), the other seemed more like a scratch.
I was just going to keep hiking, but the pickleball players -- one of whom was a retired trauma nurse -- insisted I go to the local ER.
So, we're just gonna keep an eye on it for a few hours to see if it develops any redness or other symptoms. I assume I'll be fine, and -- of course I don't have any insurance until Medicare kicks in the beginning of August -- so am expecting some outrageous hospital bill. Ugh ...

The man who breached Denver International Airport's perimeter fence and was struck by a Frontier Airlines jet on the runway last Friday has been identified as 41-year-old Michael Mott, the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner announced at a press conference Tuesday morning.
Authorities also confirmed that Mott's death has been officially ruled a suicide.
Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Sterling McLaren said Mott was identified using fingerprints found at the scene. His cause of death was multiple blunt force injuries, and the manner of death has been ruled a suicide based on the scene investigation. No note was found.
Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas said Mott had prior law enforcement contact in the Denver metro area but did not specify what kind. Investigators have not found any vehicle or bicycle near the area where Mott climbed over the perimeter fence, and they are asking anyone who knew him to come forward.

Had a contractor at my house get bit on the finger by an adolescent cottonmouth. Only one fang penetrated the tip of the finger. Drove him to the ER. His whole hand had ballooned up. He was in significant pain. They gave him morphine. He spent the night in ICU as a precaution. The next morning his finger was very blackish. He didn't lose the finger, though, and was back on the job about a week later.

but with MM around, I just spray the spot at least 2x a day and this year they both cleared up right away. I got a spot of poison ivy too, and I'm reactive, but spritz with MM and it clears up and doesn't spread. stuff is magic!

Democrat Whistleblower Claims that Adam Schiff Ordered His Staff to Illegally Leak Classified Information In Order to Rig an Indictment Against Trump
Adam Schiff, I assume, has been quizzed about this before.
And I assume he lied to federal investigators when he was asked. That's obstruction of justice.Tony SerugaThis researcher says that Eric Swalwell was part of the illegal leaking conspiracy as well:
@TonySeruga 3h 🚨 ADAM SCHIFF'S FELONY CONFESSED BY HIS OWN DEMOCRATIC STAFF: Leaked Classified Secrets to Frame Trump -- 10+ Years in Prison or Just Another Swamp Pass? Declassified FBI 302s -- released by Director Kash Patel -- expose a Democratic whistleblower (a 10+ year House Intelligence Committee veteran) who warned agents in 2017 and 2023: then-Rep. Schiff convened staff and explicitly authorized leaks of classified intelligence derogatory to President Trump. The explicit aim? To manufacture material "to indict" a sitting President during the now-discredited Russiagate probe. This was no rogue staffer. It was the ranking member -- later chairman -- of the very committee entrusted with our nation's most sensitive secrets, plotting in open conference to weaponize them against the Executive Branch. A fellow Democrat called it "illegal, unethical, and treasonous." Professor Jonathan Turley captured the constitutional horror: "a truly chilling account... perfectly moronic to commit such a felony with a planning conference meeting with staff." Under 18 U.S.C. § 798, unauthorized disclosure of classified information carries up to 10 years or more per count. "Someone," Turley rightly declared, "is a felon." The Framers designed the Intelligence Committee to defend the Republic from foreign threats and domestic overreach -- not to serve as a partisan Star Chamber. Schiff's alleged scheme was not oversight; it was subversion, the precise factional cancer the Constitution was written to excise. While he sermonized about "threats to democracy," he allegedly orchestrated one from within its most sensitive chamber. President Trump has torn back the curtain. The rule of law is not optional. Equal justice is not partisan. The same statutes that bind the rest of us must now bind the self-anointed high priest of the Russia hoax. America is watching. History is recording. Accountability cannot wait.
Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell conspired to leak classified, and falsified, information that I was a Russian Spy who had an affair with President Trump's National Security Advisor General Flynn.

The main issue is getting indictments, actually. Grand juries in DC just throw everything out.
Once they actually go to trial, this DOJ actually has a pretty good record. Unless some judge in Minnesota says that the jury got it wrong and no punishment.

The intel committees were created in the 1970s following the Church commission inquiry. Jeebus.
It's a special kind of disgust and amazement one has, if one were familiar with how they operated up until recent times, seeing the crude partisan corruption (well, all Dem) and abuses that now seem the norm.

Leaked Classified Secrets to Frame Trump -- 10+ Years in Prison or Just Another Swamp Pass?
I wouldn't be surprised that Schifffff will scream that the FBI 302s are unreliable perjury traps. Because they are. They're antiquated forms based exclusively on an agent's written notes, with MANDATORY bans on video or audio recording witness/suspect interviews, according to FBI guidelines.
If he gets the Swamp Ass, I'd love to see it cited to FINALLY get the FBI JBTs to use proper audio/video recordings in their cases and take away this most pernicious means of gleefully wiping their ass with The Constitution.

That reminds me...
I remember during COVIDmania when the government mandated people take the clot shot to "stop the spread" because you didn't want to kill granny.
And then a little while later the FNM/government started claiming that NO ONE ever said the clot shot stopped or even slowed the spread it was just to make you got less sick when you did get COVID
BUT
They still left in the rules requiring people to get the clot shot on the grounds that it would stop the spread.

Thune is saving their bacon with the SAVE Act but they can't praise a Republican leader who doesn't generally make waves with Trump.

Comparing levels of Democrat perfidy is like choosing shades of off white paint. I mean, eggshell, moonbeam or bisque, who knows.
The biggest thing the Left got out of Obama was weaponizing blacks and inventing a race war whole cloth. The effect on our culture has been brutal. But then look at the "me too" stuff - the engineered male female divide has sucked too. So now we got both.
As for the difference between the Obama Commies and the Clinton Commies it would SEEM the Obama ones are worse. Also they had someone purportedly likeable with Obama where no one on earth likes or respects that cunt.

Of course. And spell-check too. But these are the dumbest people on earth.
But ... true story: I was a baby lawyer at one of the most prestigious Big Firms in the country if not the world. Big case, billions at stake. It involved litigation against an entity with "public" in the title.
The associates more senior than me drafted a legal brief. Partners reviewed it. I happened to be in the partner's office at the time. I was involved in the case but not that brief. Partner says "Elric the Blade, we're about to file this brief, why don't you take a look."
After reading like two pages, I said "umm ... the brief says 'pubic' instead of 'public' ...." Yuge save.
So anyone can fuck up. But spellcheck woulda caught the "Virginia" misspellings. It didn't catch 'pubic' bc that's a word.

South Carolina's Legislature Will Delete C***s***er Jim Clyburn's Seat Tomorrow; Alabama Now Free to Eliminate One of Its Two Democrat Districts
Alabama has two majority-minority districts due to unconstitutional racist and Democrat Protection Racket mandates.
The Supreme Court just vacated a lower court ruling mandating the racially rigged districts, and Alabama will swiftly move to eliminate one of them.The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for Alabama to implement a new race-neutral congressional map ahead of the 2026 midterms on Monday.With that lawless lower court ruling vacated, the maps Alabama actually drew in 2023 should now back in effect.
In a 6-3 order, the high court vacated a series of lower court rulings that effectively resulted in the state's use of a congressional map that includes two majority-minority districts. As The Federalist reported, such affirmative action districts were historically carved out under past interpretations of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act to Democrats' benefit. ...
Responding to Monday's decision, Allen said in a statement that Alabama's May 19 primary election "will proceed as scheduled," and that his office "will remain in close contact with the Governor's Office and the Attorney General's Office as this situation continues developing." ... Writing for the dissent, Sotomayor argued that "[t]here is no reason" for the Supreme Court to vacate the district court's order and remand the matter "for reconsideration in light of the Court's new interpretation of §2 of the Voting Rights Act" in Callais. She contended that the lower court's "finding of intentional discrimination" in the battle over Alabama's 2023 proposed map "is independent of, and unaffected by, any of the legal issues discussed in Callais."
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday set the stage for Alabama to eliminate one of two largely Black congressional districts before this year's midterm elections, creating an opening for Republicans to gain an additional U.S. House seat in a partisan battle for control of the closely divided chamber. ... Alabama officials had pointed to the Louisiana case as reason for the Supreme Court to end a judicial order to use a court-imposed House map until after the 2030 census. The high court on Monday overturned that order and directed a lower court to reconsider the case in light of the Louisiana decision. That could free the state to instead use a map approved in 2023 by the Republican-led legislature that includes only one district where Black residents comprise a majority. Anticipating a court reversal, Alabama officials recently enacted a law allowing it to void the results of a May 19 primary for some congressional districts and instead hold a new primary under the revised district boundaries. Alabama had asked for an expedited decision ahead of the primary.I don't know how long the lower court will take to issue a ruling, though. The Supreme Court vacated and remanded -- the latter word meaning "sent back to the lower court for reconsideration of its decision, now informed by the Supreme Court's new ruling and instruction." I guess the lower court could once again attempt to impose the old map, making new claims. Shipwreckedcrew, a former federal prosecutor, thinks it's unlikely the lower court can attempt to re-impose the court-mandated map without the unconstitutional command to gerrymander as many majority-minority districts as possible:
ShipwreckedcrewBut this could take time. I don't know which maps will be in effect if the lower Hawaiian judge drags this out. Meanwhile, South Carolina will eliminate race hustler Jim Clyburn's seat tomorrow.
@shipwreckedcrew 14h Alabama didn't make the same argument that the petitioners did in Louisiana. It did not argue that the race-consicous remedy was a 14th Amendment violation that was only available in very narrow circumstances. The plaintiffs in the Alabama case can challenge the old map again, but they aren't entitled to "majority-minority" districts ordered by a court as the remedy. Alabama may be forced to draw new maps that explicitly rely on partisanship and not race, but the end result is going to be the same.
South Carolina lawmakers will take up this proposed congressional map tomorrow.

Having more competitive districts will moderate the radical Dems, and it will also expose those voters to more reasonable candidates and make them consider reality for a change.
I have spoken to blacks in safe districts, and they consider Rs to be completely unacceptable. They have no exposure to ideas like school choice except though the lens of the Dem propaganda machine (which is often driven by teachers unions, for example.)

South Carolina, where the first shot of the civil war was fired, where 40 percent of those enslaved came through the Charleston port, is today engaged in an ugly recidivism to draw maps that will deny a Black person the chance to serve in Congress.
The stakes could not be higher.
Our political fight is not on a playground, but a moral battleground.
We must stand for Black representation across the South

No it doesn't.
"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race" is a, quote from Chief Justice John Roberts in the 2007 case Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1. This sentiment, often called colorblind constitutionalism, argued that legal systems should not use racial distinctions, a view later used to end affirmative action in college admissions.

They're partisan Democrats above all, but there's an obvious racialism aspect to their voting behavior, most obvious when a black Democrat loses to a white Democrats in a primary (black turnout in the general goes down).
What does that do to the turnout...machines? The fortification? Is there enough juice to push for state level seats without a federal standardbearer like a 40 year black incumbent?

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at May 12, 2026 12:34 PM (tXqCv)
In the hasty desire for a quickly restored Union, the nation (after soundly defeating the Confederate insurgency) gave in to the innate tendency of human desire to take the easy route. Instead of crushing the traitors into oblivion, and never allowing them to rise again, we opted for appeasement.
I feel this also applies present day, as we are quickly approaching the end of the era known as Trumpism in America. Over the last decade, much like the Civil War, this country was torn apart. The political cult known as MAGA quite literally attempted to overthrow the U.S. government — much like the Confederacy. The actions of MAGA politicians over the last 10 years amounts to a treason that should never be forgiven.
When this long dark era of Trumpism comes to an end (and it will), I fear that once again we will, as a nation, exchange the gavels of justice with our all-too-familiar desire to return to normalcy. If normalcy is what allowed the Confederate blood of this country to rise again in the 21st century in the form of Trumpism, then normalcy is not something that we should be seeking in which to return.

Any MAGA politician that helped to perpetuate this disunity and tearing apart of our nation needs to be punished severely. We must not allow ourselves to make the same mistake as we did during the Reconstruction Era following the Civil War.
The only way this nation moves forward is if we eliminate the plague that has destroyed our country from within. That plague is MAGA. Healthy debate, appeasement and compromise will not bring us out of this darkness. Only accountability will end this long national nightmare.

It's probably still unconstitutional in red states, they just don't give a shit about the constitution. Thats exactly how Republican Privilege works.
Not that it wasn’t apparent a long time ago, but they have truly and completely abandoned any attempts to be seen as non-partisan at this point.
Just blatantly doing everything they can to ensure they give Republicans an opportunity to scheme out a win on the margins, disenfranchising as many people as they can in the process.
So why are we living like this? They clearly don’t care about the law and they’re showed to be hiding MILLIONS in bribes with zero remorse. Why are we allowing the conservative justices to go on?
The only chance is voting in mass to a point where it would be impossible steal through minor manipulation. If that fails it’s time to find a new country that’s more in line with your values.
So leave the country while we’re the lawful ones? I’m not sure that’s how this country was founded. It would make more sense if Thomas was concerned about his bribes.

No it doesn't.
"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race" is a, quote from Chief Justice John Roberts in the 2007 case Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1. This sentiment, often called colorblind constitutionalism, argued that legal systems should not use racial distinctions, a view later used to end affirmative action in college admissions.
Posted by: The Dems
========
Actually on race, Roberts has been consistent. See Shelby decision, the end of Gratz-Grutter O'Connor decisions in the Harvard and North Carolina race admittance cases, etc.. Roberts has his faults but his guidance of the court on race matters has been good.
Scotus cases like Adarand v Pena (1995) and Richmond v. Croson (1989) required strict scrutiny on using race during the Rehnquist court but the weaker sisters of O'Connor and Kennedy kept those precedents from being widely used by undercutting them with decisions like Grutter and Gratz in education.
Now, the crowning achievement would be ending disparate impact jurisprudence.

Yep. O'Keefe has come out with some new video hits this week showing voters being paid for their votes. 5-8 bucks per vote. Warnock did that in GA for his race by airdropping gift cards into the electorate to avoid triggering the financial surveillance of cash.
Basically, you spray out mail in ballots in poor areas and then send your ballot harvesters out to collect those ballots paying the voter. The ballot harvesters then fill them out and submit them along with the vacant lot and warehouse ballots that are collected on the route.

Then Danger rides around the pier, makes some ham-handed attempts at chatting up some girls, then guns it and rides the motorcycle off the pier.

We can end the whole, "There's no widespread fraud" and "No one would cheat because it never changes any results," and "Trump was super unpopular in 2020 because of whatever reasons."
Mostly, I want it to happen to watch Ossoff lose his re-election campaign, a dark horse presidential candidate get tossed aside in embarrassing fashion, and for the left to ignore the fact that it took manufacturing 1/6 of the total vote in GA to barely beat Trump.

Dunno, the state GOP establishment is trying desperately to hide it along with the Dems. The mud is going to splash bigtime on the GOP with Kemp, Ratshitbugger as SoS, and Carr, the wanking AG being involved. The head of the GBI, Vic Reynolds at the time, was stupid enough to say some incriminating stuff on tape regarding his willingness to follow orders (Kemp) to shut down investigations. Coffee County is also bubbling up again.
The other forthcoming election fraud investigations involve Maricopa and Pima Counties in AZ. Again, state GOP obstructing it.

Two polls released today.
One was D+3. The other was D+14.
But all polls are right, even if the results are outside of each others' margins of error, and the only thing to do is assume that the real result is halfway between them.
That's science.
(D+3 would probably mean the GOP gains a Senate seat and the House bends slightly more to the GOP. D+14 would be the most Democrat year since the Great Depression.)

Supreme Court misinterpreted the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in Griggs. But, like the Voting Rights Act misinterpretation, the clear solution is to go constitutional. 14th Amendment clearly is colorblind in application and was never intended to give the power to Congress to do what the Brits call positive discrimination powers.
Does not meet strict scrutiny of being narrowly tailored remedy for past discrimination. The focus of the CRA was individual fairness in consideration for jobs, etc. not 'groups' and the same goes for the 13th to 15th Amendments. Equal protection of the laws was drafted so that no classification should be used by the state to purposefully affect individuals right to be treated fairly under the law--e.g. like every one else that is similarly situated.

There is a reason these are rotten boroughs in urbanized and racialized cheat districts. The elected officials do nothing to help the people but yet do quite well for themselves. See Tiffany Henyard, Stacey Abrams, or Fani Willis as an example.

A lot of it, and we will stereotype here because that's what we do, is personality type. The high esteem self-importance broadly observed in the "millennial" cohort works as a bangup replacement for the "previous" gen of rulers.

Scotus had to go constitutional on it via the narrowly tailored bit because Supreme Court only facially interprets a law ONCE. You can challenge the law as applied but not the language of the law. And the Justice Brennan, in Thornburg v. Gingles introduced a vote dilution test to remedy past discrimination. The recent Callais decision went with Adarand (and Harvard/NC cases plus Shelby County districting decision) in junking remedies for past discrimination. It require evidence of present and active discrimination as the intent for districting. Ironically, that is pretty much what the left openly has done in state and local districts to create safe seats for minorities. They thought it was safe to do to enshrine their power.

Let me share a story highlighting how lefty LIVs work...
A few years ago I was working in a small city. My lefty cow-workers got excited about a candidate for mayor who promised to save da Erf. One of her proposals make people stop using big cars.
Now...my cow-workers mostly drove big cars/trucks, and tended to be fat.
So the mayor wins and requires all the corporate lots be repainted so at least 50% are for compact cars and the company that runs our office building complied. Immediately my cow-workers start scratching each other's cars...exactly what the Mayor's plan wanted.
Do they blame her? No. Its the fault of the management company. And yes they all voted for her again.

Liberalism: Government controls everything. Limited rights. Denounces God and all He provides.
Communism: Government controls everything. Few rights. Government is god.
Naziism: Government controls everything. Fewer rights. Government is god. Class society to the extreme were some are killed off.
All other isms: Government controls everything. No rights. Government is god. Slavery for all.
But they continually label the right as being the bad guys.
The proof is in the pudding.

Yes, there's no perfection but No Justice, No Peace is now the biggest issue regarding state voting maps.
Organizing for Action (OFA) is no longer operating as a standalone, independent organization. In 2019, OFA formally merged with the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) to become All On The Line, focusing heavily on gerrymandering and redistricting. The original OFA structure and nationwide grassroots advocacy work were folded into this new initiative, with many digital tools and materials inherited by the Obama Alumni Association.
In 2019, OFA shifted its primary focus from general issue advocacy (health care, climate change) to redistricting, joining with Attorney General Eric Holder’s campaign. The successor campaign, All On The Line, operates under the NDRC to combat gerrymandering and restore fairness to elections.
Training materials and organizing manuals from the original OFA are now managed by the Obama Alumni Association, preserving the group's "Respect - Empower - Include" principles.
While the national 501(c)(4) entity dissolved, some local chapters (like OFA Westside LA) continued to operate independently. (AI Overview)

And they want to destroy the system to facilitate cheating. Under a popular vote, they literally only need to cheat in one large locale. If they want to make it believable, from several large locales. Generate votes from, what, New York City, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Chicago in any amount needed.
National popular vote makes it far easier to cheat in friendly states where they can know they won’t get caught, and if they do they can know there won’t be consequences.
The electoral system puts an upper limit to the usefulness of cheating in any one state. It doesn’t matter how much they cheat in California; it won’t deliver more than California’s electoral vote total. Cheating in Democrat-run states that will let them get away with it doesn’t help them, because those electoral votes are already in the bag. They need to cheat in states where there is at least a tiny chance that someone will expose and prosecute—they had to work very, very hard to keep red states from restoring fair elections in 2020) , because those are the states where cheating gains them electoral votes.

We are about ten years away if the component supply bottleneck can be fixed for feature length films. Probably more like a couple of years before photo realistic shorts can be produced, less if anime or other animated techniques.
Been following Amelia videos which are probably using big iron as a test for how good the technology is. And it is there for ads as you can see with the Pratt LA campaign videos.
It will be as if you imagine it, the computer can create your imagination. Course the downside is truly horrific stuff of nightmares for some which will probably lead to depraved continuation in reality for them. Imagine the AI movie tech in the hands of Muzzies for example or violent Troons and what they will produce.

By eliminating the Permanent Apportionment Act of (I think) 1921, restoring something more like the original ratio of 1:30k, we'd have something like 7k representatives.
We manage that by 1) Adding three legislatively-elected senators per state to restore states' control of their senators, 2) Eliminating Congressional staff, 3) creative term limits, and 4) Restricting bill creation.
And by moving Congress over to RFK stadium.

I detest modern directors and their conceits of Hollyweird. Their purpose is to entertain me; not teach me anything nor cater to the perverted tastes of elites.
No entertainment, you won't get squat from me. Plenty of other times and directors from olden times to get that from. Modern music has already driven me from the hideous and vile music scene to the past. Modern art is so repulsive that even money laundering and tax avoiding elites are ashamed of it. Modern sculpture resembles whatever one can find in the average garbage dump. And modern literature is worse than the Sears Catalog of yore, not even good enough for toilet paper in an outhouse. Plays and theater, boring, tendentious, and morally corrupt aimed purposefully at offending the rubes. Modern architecture, something that inspires a deep hatred for humanity and architects that create these anti human monstrosities.
And yet, all of this will be swept away from this horrendous epoch of history just like history has flushed rancid elites down the toilet multiple times in the past.

As I noted above, it is the entire rotten anti human and vile entertainment industry that has become rotten due to leftists. Chuck all of it on the trash heap to be burned and start again.
Reading Will and Ariel Durant's History of Civilizations, I have not found a historical epoch where the present Western culture has been so devoid of truth, beauty, and eternal values. Parts of it, yes, the entirety of all entertainment, no.
Our culture peaked somewhere about 1960's and has since then descended into a vast wasteland of putrid content.

Just from an accurate Census and current districting alone.
Ending vote by mail could push that higher.
The Dems were able to weather the Gingrich Revolution because they 1) still had Blue Dog Dems in the South 2) minority-majority districts in the South and 3) massive media advantage.
A 40 seat flip is the end of the Democrat Party as a national force.

And the insidious desire inspired, like by a certain snake in a certain Garden, to do monstrous deeds is baked into the cake.

Since the whole state is affected by the cities, the whole state should have a vote in the management of the city:
The mayor of the capital and any city over 1 million is a state-wide election.
And a city council seat for every next million population.

Yes Mansa Musa is an interesting figure in African history. But there is a long time frame here
Late 600s:Islam conquers North Africa, inherits trade routes south. To this point the Byzantines/Christians only had any really connections to Ethiopia (which would be lost again until the Portuguese sailed around Africa)
700s: Islam decides it needs to dominate the people living their and sends war/slave raiding parties which eventually conquer them.
1300: Mansa Musa, and other west Africa Muslim rulers, get rich using their slaves locally in the mines.

The first call came to Bob Allen’s phone at 6 p.m. ET on a Friday. The message: Get the repo men ready.
Spirit Airlines was still in operation and planes were in the air. But the aircraft leasing firms that own dozens of its bright yellow jets were getting anxious as Spirit barreled toward liquidation. They wanted their planes back.
“I had six hours to find 20 pilots,” Allen said.
Nomadic Aviation Group, his company, had been standing by for months as Spirit teetered closer to the brink. Allen and co-founder Steve Giordano quickly assembled a roster of pilots, most of whom had worked for Spirit. They made a WhatsApp group, which swelled to 40 pilots. One had just landed.
“He said, ‘can I fly in shorts?’” Giordano recalled. Not a problem. “We generally go khakis and polos, but you know, you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do,” he told him.

"Enjoyed", past tense? If the chief means of distortion - simply not reporting things - is considered, the advantage has probably grown.
When there was only the legacy media, and it was bad, though not nearly as farcical as it is now, they grossly distorted the "news" against such as Nixon and Reagan. Who won nearly every state in their re-elections.
Socially incorrect to even muse on the question, but perhaps there's a problem - an enormous, defining problem - with the voters, and not just the media.

Lot of psy ops going on and we cannot be ignorant of that.
I have watched some psy ops from start to "finish" and as you know even detailed several here "live".
Essentially the "point" is to mindfuck as many in as short a time as possible and what's more to create and nurture the environments for said manipulation. Covid was the classic example. They had us in a perfect storm ready to be mindfucked into oblivion. And it's very very very difficult to "opt out" of a mindfuck operation since generally "everyone else" is affected in some way.
When people say "covid broke people" they are saying that it was weak willed and scared people who got affected by this virus but the reality is in general the planned manipulations successfully targeted them.
Why do you think the Left sends out all one message on EVERYTHING? It's not just because they don't want to lose arguments. It is targeted mental mindfuckination.

You are definitely right though - he might have been the wealthiest man in history.

If not, then they see absolutely nothing wrong with eliminating them. En masse, if necessary, to fulfil the goals of the elites.

pg 229 -232 is titled "No Final Translation of Homer Possible." By Butcher and Lang.
There would have been less controversy about the proper method of Homeric translation, if critics had recognized that the question is a purely relative one, that of Homer there can be no final translation. The taste and literary habits of each age demand different qualities in poetry, and therefore a different sort of rendering of Homer. To the men of the time of Elizabeth, Homer would have appeared bald, it seems, and lacking in ingenuity, if he had been presented in his antique simplicity. For the Elizabethan age, Chapman supplied what was then necessary, and the mannerisms that were then deemed of the essence of poetry, - namely, daring and luxurious conceits. Thus in Chapman's verse Troy must "shed her towers for tears of overthrow"; and when the winds toss Odysseus about, their sport must be called "the horrid tennis."

Animals adapt to the environment they live in. Is it any surprise that the humans in Africa would adapt to an environment where travel and trade are EXTREMELY difficult and weather unpredictable?
African culture grew as it did because of Africa. Africans who adopt Western Culture tend to do very well in the West.

Yes as did Western Africa, the Americas, etc. Slavery is the normal condition of humanity in history across times and cultures. Which is why academia steeped in the left treats it as a secret that shall never be taught nor mentioned.

The effed up part is, if a filmmaker did a straight-up version of the Odyssey, as written by Homer, it would be an amazing adventure movie and probably do great business at the box office.
Anabasis and the 10,000. Now THAT would be epic. No "Gods sticking their noses into human affairs" bullshit either.
The Warriors is a decent modern adaptation, but it's kinda dated, and in many ways it misses the point.

Selection effect. Same issue with those that decided to leave Europe for America to settle. It screens out lesser individuals. With lower barriers though to international travel, we can see that when masses of any ethnicity cluster together, they recreate the culture of where they were from, not where they are. What is true for some is not true for the entire population.

Oh yeah. The left has a real thing for eating its own. What's really fascinating is how the trans movement, which glommed on to the gay movement, is seeking to erase homosexuals. Homosexuality is same-sex attraction. But there's actually no such thing as sex, the tranny ideologues tell us. Most youth with "gender" issues grow out of them and post-puberty figure out they're just gay. But that's not good enough the trans butchers say, and swoop in to mutilate the kids' bodies. Gays are derided for not wanting to have sex with trans men. Lesbians are derided for not wanting to have sex with trans women. It's the trannies who are the actual eliminationists within the LGBTQEDWTF "movement," all the while wailing about a non-existent "trans genocide."

Texas has 38 seats. If Republicans win 58% of the congressional vote they get 58% of 38 which is 22. Dems get 16. Obviously there would need to be rounding up or down rules. Maybe the overall winner gets a bonus 1-2 seats or something. And states with only 2 seats would still be 2-0 if the vote was overwhelmingly one way or the other.
Then each party has a primary (secondary?) vote to determine who will represent the seats they won.
If every state did that, you’d have a house that much better represents the will of the people. And you’d have actual competitive elections in most states. No more 9-0 states like Massachusetts where 40% of the voters have no representation.

That's ONE possible explanation, but as we cannot run a controlled experiment, it's not dispositive.
I will note that colonialism which forced a western-ish culture on Africa left the Africans in much better shape than "decolonization". That seems to suggest it's a culture issue, not an inherent one.

And yet most of those colonies devolved rather than kept up. Rhodesia and South Africa are examples but you find the same in other former colonies.
IQ is a subject that is uncomfortable for a lot of people because it has a rancid past history of those glomming onto it. But yet, it is pretty clear by multiple triangulations that it exists beyond schooling, beyond the Flynn effect (which seems to be dying btw), etc. And that culture will interact with that population general iq. And the cruelest thing is that IQ is inheritable as that becomes more clear over time. Assortative mating makes it relevant over time as well in a culture.
That whole field of genetics and iq has been choked off as valid study because of 'racism' but yet, it is a fact, that cousin marriages has promoted a massive number of birth defects and lowered general population iq in Middle Eastern populations.
Move them to England, they do the same thing as Pakistan, and voila, a huge spike in birth defects and mental issues there in those populations.

Most of the land transportation was on human-back though t here were dray-llamas in the Andes t hat could take minor loads.
There was a trade up the Pacific coasts of south and central America, though it seems to have been short range and more "chain" commerce than long-range commerce. There were also traders moving in the Gulf of America and among the islands, and in fact the first contacts the Aztecs had with the Spanish was one of those island hopping traders

If you recall this was actually all decided almost 2 years ago when Texas was told that you cannot make a minority majority by adding up 28% Blacks and 27% Hispanic.

Donald M. Mattison
I like this painting a great deal though I would probably wouldn't hang it.
The painting is in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, a gift of Georgia Mattison Coxe. Also learned, 'The Davicos (Portrait of the Davico Sisters),' painted by American artist Donald M. Mattison before 1934, was created in the United States though the sisters were Italian. (AI Overview, in part, and Smithsonian a reference.)
Wikipedia does have a nice bio for this painter, Donald Mattison, and he seems to have been so ideally 'normal' and hardworking, painting "life's pleasanter moments": beautiful landscapes, community celebrations, and the innocent pastimes of children, among other accomplishments such as teaching.
Thanks.

The TV series just turned into a political soapbox mess. And for a dark comedy to brutally kill McLean Stevenson's character in that way, that was just very wrong.
To be fair the signs were there from the start when they turned the song about the Painless Pole wanting to kill himself into the TV show's opening tune.

The Morning Report — 5/ 12/26
Democrat House leader Hakeem Jeffries and potentially the next Speaker, is the nephew of militant racist Leonard Jeffries. Before his July 20, 1991 speech, Dr. Leonard Jeffries was already known for his teaching that blacks are racially superior to whites because blacks, whom he calls “sun people,” have more melanin in their skin than whites, whom he calls “ice people.” “Let me clarify my views,” Dr. Jeffries said, after a long exegesis on the role of Jews in the African slave trade, “if they say we are destroying Western civilization with our proposals, then I say let it happen quickly, because Western civilization is nothing more than an institutionalized, sophisticated form of barbarism.” . . .Now that’s important because when these people talk about “white supremacists”, they don’t mean the KKK, they mean Americans in general and all who aren’t on board with their black supremacist agenda. Now let’s meet Hakeem’s brother in the present day.You can bet your life he does. And with that as the set-up we have this twisted article of faith of Leftism.
Hasan Kwame Jeffries tweeted that, “John Brown understood that only way to free America from the scourge of white supremacy was to get rid of white supremacists by any means necessary. He was right THEN. He is right now.”
Whom does the possible future Speaker’s brother consider needs killing? Is Trump on the list? His current timeline is full of rants about “white people” and claims that Republicans are the new ‘Jim Crow’ I suppose the only question left to ask is whether Hakeem agrees with his brother the way he did with his uncle.
Black conservatives perennially face the slur that they’re “not really black” if they aren’t on the Left. Not only that, they are tools of white racists if they dissent from the NAACP hard line. When the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to overturn a racially gerrymandered congressional district in Louisiana, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) was outraged by the local Deseret News in Salt Lake City prominently featuring an Associated Press photo of a lone black protester in front of the court holding a sign that said, “Thurgood is watching you, Clarence.” That implied Thurgood Marshall was disappointed in Clarence Thomas. Lee tweeted: “They’re going after Justice Thomas for being conservative while Black...
So being black has nothing to do with melanin but political persuasion. Ditto sex, sexual orientation and heritage. The long and short of it is being good means Leftist, and being evil is anything other than that. And from there, you have the absolute moral authority to do anything to gain and maintain power because democracy, freedom and the planet demand it! And those who protest or accuse them of hypocrisy have no right because after all America itself, along with western civilization and Judeo/Christianity are collectively all to be blamed. And as this essay alludes, being a "white supremacist" merely means being white. This is where melanin or lack thereof is all that is needed to define people, unlike the reverse vis a vis Clarence Thomas and others like him. Yes, the Democrat/Left are evil and dangerous and they're at their most evil and dangerous when they're cornered like rats and sense that the political winds are blowing in the opposite direction to where they want to take us. With the Virginia Supreme Court rejecting the naked power grab of Spanberger and her cohorts in the attempted gerrymandering and complete disenfranchising of non-leftist Virginians, the reaction was almost worse than their attempted power grab: the sacking of their State's Supreme Court and replacement with Leftist lackies. If they succeed, God-forbid, it might be lights out for America before too long.
If at first you don’t succeed, throw out the rules and rig the game in your favor. That’s the strategy Democrats are looking to embrace after the Virginia Supreme Court slapped down their illegal efforts to gerrymander the commonwealth in their favor ahead of the 2026 midterms. The state’s high court found (4-3) that the Democrat-run General Assembly violated the Virginia Constitution by bypassing procedural requirements necessary for the redistricting amendment to appear on the state’s April ballot. . . Not content with accepting defeat, Democrats are exploring ways to resurrect their failed gerrymandering gambit ahead of the 2026 elections, The New York Times reported over the weekend. Democrats’ brainstorming session included one “audacious” and “possibly far-fetched” idea that involves packing the Virginia Supreme Court with new Democrat appointees. Floated on a purported phone call between U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and Virginia Democrat House leaders, the proposal involves the Virginia General Assembly and Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger approving legislation that would lower the retirement age for state Supreme Court justices.
Dangerous times, my friends, as if we weren't painfully aware of that by now...
America is not yet at the stage reached by the Weimar Republic in Germany in the 1920s or among Japan’s military rulers in the 1930s, in which the assassination of politicians became almost routine, a means to remove talented individuals from power and to discourage opposing views from being voiced. But when putatively respectable individuals and institutions on one side of the political spectrum give voice to approval of violence and murder, the Weimar experience comes into view. When one side’s leaders’ rhetoric constantly portrays the opposition leader as another Hitler, it’s not surprising that some of its followers take it on themselves to kill him.The assassinations and attempts might not be coming fast and furious, to coin a phrase, but the deplatforming, debanking, censorship, intimidation and other tactics surely have the same chilling effect on any voices of dissent wherever they come from. From the halls of Congress to the boardroom, to Main Street and Wall Street, to school boards and right down to the schoolyard itself! Well, Weimar is as Weimar does. And with that... Have a good day.

Part of the thing with all of this (the redistricting, Obamas comments reported yesterday, the DOJ) is that Republicans HAVE been the 'loyal opposition' that Obama talked about. They have played the game that Dems can do whatever they want and Republicans will still play by the rules.
It's like bullies. It IS true that the only way to deal with a bully is to punch them in the mouth. But there are two paths the bully can take. He can realize you are not an easy mark and leave you alone OR he can get more enraged. This is not the way that things are supposed to be. You are upsetting his world view (even his sense of self and his place in the world) and he loses it. Which means you have to keep punching him.
The commies are classic bullies right now. Or always.

The Weimar Republic (1919–1933) was characterized by a significant loosening of sexual norms, driven by the rise of sexology, homosexual emancipation, and a visible, diverse sex industry, particularly in Berlin.

However, when the time finally came in the form of a mutated Coronavirus (Covid), they dropped the ball, and evidence suggests they may have done it deliberately.

I hope I’m wrong. I hope in November you point and laugh at me, rightly accusing me of hyperbole and fear mongering.”
I do not think you are wrong at all; but I do think their power peaked when they managed to install that walking corpse Biden in the White House, and that due to their own greed and incompetence, their power has been waning ever since.
Their psychological meltdowns are the sign of panic at the growing realization that they’ve lost, and have lost in ways which will kill their chances at ever coming back.
The SCOTUS ruling about race based districts is not just a setback, it ends the CBC for good. The Virginia redistricting decision means that their grand scheme to take over Congress is finished, not just set back. They are beginning to see that they are losing for good, and they are sliding into violent insane fantasies because of it.

Interesting story from Her Majesty, presently sad but perhaps hopeful.
I mentioned on the ONT a lovely piece of artwork for which Delilah was the model. The Big Dummy's Ohio mom saw a girl looking at it and crying. Turns out that she owned the semen from which Delilah's first litter (Diana, Ruth and Rosalind) were produced.
Ruth was gifted to another person, who later returned her. Apparently, this girl wanted Ruth - who's sitting in our kennel doing exactly nothing - and thought she could never get her. She was too scared of Her Majesty (frequently, so am I) to approach her an ask.
The story is a bit more complicated, but suffice it to say Ruth may go to a new home in the near future. I'd like to keep all our dogs, but if she gets more attention, perhaps some showing and maybe getting bred it's all to the good.

If it's a poll of Mexicans, I have no idea, but I'd assume it's much lower than US rates due to their much more conservative/traditional culture. In the US, the overall rate might be around 5%, but it skews VERY heavily towards youth.
High School Students: According to CDC data from 2021, 26% of high school students identify as LGBTQ+, a significant rise from 11% in 2015, though part of this increase is attributed to changes in survey wording that included students identifying as "questioning."

NEW 🚨 THOMAS MASSIE FILES
Cynthia West EX GIRLFRIEND of Thomas Massie exposes him as a sexual deviant & bribed her with $5,000 cash to stay silent.
Massie DM'd her on X in August of 2024 not even 2 months after his wife of 31 years passed away in June 2024.
Massie ended up getting her a congressional staffer job in D.C. Massie pressured her to be involved in deviant sexual behavior with him. Cynthia rejected feeling extremely pressured and uncomfortable.
When she rejected, Thomas Massie had her fired, bribed her & threatened her not to file a complaint.
A complaint was filed in fall of 2025. The same time period when Thomas Massie remarried to a different staffer 20 years younger than Massie.
The man who claimed screamed the loudest about "Transparency for Epstein" turned out to be a scumbag himself."

For a while there he though he'd be protected by the D scum who absolutely knew about his picadillos (since this was happening in Congress, and the complaint(s) were filed there, and the bribe fund was available for an NDA and a walk away), because he was so very useful to them - voting against Trump and making it impossible for the R majority. But now he is used up like a cheap whore, and they don't need him anymore.

Forget the noise about him perv and sleazebag - that's been common knowledge for a long time.
The woman claims Massie doesn't report his income from his cattle business.
If true, Trump should have him jailed. As a Republican, he doesn't have a right to commit crimes like Democrats, and this can be done.
Locking up a Republican for being defiant toward the populist movement would be instructive for the others.
They should feel compelled to comply or be punished.

It appears the leading hypothesis is that the hantavirus (specifically the Andes strain) was brought onto the ship from a port stop in South America rather than originating from rodents already onboard.
Health investigators suspect a Dutch couple contracted the "Andres" virus while on a bird-watching trip in Ushuaia, Argentina, or Chile before boarding the vessel around April 1, 2026. The two-week incubation period is consistent with exposure occurring at the beginning of the trip in South America.
The specific strain is unusual because it can transmit from human-to-human, unlike most hantaviruses that are only transmitted directly from rodent excrement to humans. This explains how it spread among passengers in close quarters (like cabin mates) after being brought on board.
However, officials did not entirely rule out that rodent stowaways on the ship could have transmitted the virus, though experts deemed this less likely due to standard maritime hygiene protocols.
At this time, the European Centre for Disease Prevention & Control appears to be the leading medical source. (Qs and As on the the hantavirus outbreak in a cruise ship.)

'Pa. Supreme Court justice leaves Democratic Party over antisemitism concerns' by J.D. Prose, pennlive.com
Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht, who won retention as a Democrat last year, said Monday that he has become an independent because of what he believes is rising antisemitism within the party.
Wecht recalled that he served as vice chairman of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party from 1998 to 2001, but said the party has changed since then.
“Nazi tattoos, jihadist chants, intimidation and attacks at synagogues, and other hateful anti-Jewish invective and actions are minimized, ignored, and even coddled. Acquiescence to Jew-hatred is now disturbingly common among activists, leaders and even many elected officials in the Democratic Party,” he wrote. “I can no longer abide this. So, I won’t. I am no longer registered within any political party.”
Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro and the Pennsylvania Democratic Party both declined to comment about Wecht’s decision.
Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at May 12, 2026 09:39 AM (NFX2v)
“I know David and his legendary father, Cyril. As I’ve affirmed, I’m not changing my party — but I fully understand David’s personal choice,“ he said. ”The Democratic Party must confront its own rising antisemitism problem.”
More followed.
While Justice David Wecht was on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court for both major redistricting actions in 2018 and 2022, and part of the Democratic majority which approved the map that finalized the lines for southeastern PA and the rest of the state for that year's elections 🤬, he certainly deserves his due for standing on principle and applaud him for his decision to become an Independent.
Note: Pennsylvania is one of a few states to exclude Independents from the process of selecting party nominees so his action could prove to have some very interesting consequences for the state.

WJB may be a PhD but also seems a bit of a whacko living off cultural commentary. And - My, My! - how he views his thoughts and ways as perfection.
Lots of older people carrying on at those stupid No Kings rallies are in fact Jewish, and a large majority of those protests take place near colleges & universities, county & city court houses.
Those who largely missed the anti-war protests for Vietnam decades ago and had no time or didn't care to protest the Iraq War but now long for relevance, not to be ignored, as they stand with one foot near the grave. What affect does routine, unhinged behavior on the part of those older adults have on their grandchildren and other young people? Quite a bit, but probably seldom for the 'right' reasons.
Same as the long ago anti-war protests.
All, imho.

Accoridng to the creator of the library and utility cURL, who knows a thing or two about AI bug hunting having been inundated with AI-generated bug reports for years.
- If AI writes your code, why use Python? (Medium)
Actually a very good question.
Python is a great programming language for humans to use, because it makes it easy to get something up and running - at the cost of becoming slow and burdensome for large systems.
But the same properties that make it easy for humans to write make it hard for AI models to reason about, and languages like Rust and Go that favour strict, static typing are easier for AI models to generate correctly and also compile to code that runs faster.
The remaining win for Python is its massive ecosystem with modules like Numpy and PyTorch for numerical processing and AI respectively, but if you don't need to use those directly, why not go straight to Rust?
- AMD looks like it's gearing up to release the Radeon RX 9050. (Notebook Check)
It's basically a slightly slower version of the 8GB 9060 XT, drawing slightly less power. The recommended power supply has dropped from 500W to 450W, so we may be seeing a card that draws 120W or less.

This just seems ... scary?
The future of programming won’t be languages easiest for humans. It’ll be languages easiest for agents. We just shipped a Mac app where our engineers didn’t know a single line of Rust (or Tauri) beforehand. Result: ~1/10th the size… highly performant. Agents are the new programmers.
A shipped app, in a language nobody on the team knew, one-tenth the size of the Electron version, faster at runtime. The humans never had to learn Rust to get there.
The next project you start doesn’t have to default to Python.

Yesterday, I had a chat with my mom. She's been getting frustrated as hell at dealing with the VA, USAA and several financial companies in getting the POA acknowledged. USAA wants a selfie for their records, the VA keeps asking for more documentation and the site ID Me is not working for her and she can't stay on the phone long enough to deal with this because she still has to keep an eye on dad.
I finally asked if she could get a helper from their community to watch dad so she could handle all of this without distraction. "Yes, but it costs money."
"Isn't this covered under your contract?"
There was an annoyed pause and she said it was so she has to get a lawyer friend to have a chat with the people running the place.
TL/DR; Getting old sucks.

The week has begun with a disturbance in the Farce. My Braun coffeemaker has failed. It gets power, but simply does not brew. I think it failed yesterday morning; I'd brewed my usual five cups, drunk two, and went to work out. When I poured a new cup about an hour later, the machine was off and the coffee was cold. I thought I'd forgotten to hit the "Auto Off" button, which keeps the stuff warm for up to four hours. Guess not.
Nobody repairs these small appliances any more, and the machine is well out of warranty. So I guess I'm going shopping this morning. I've had a few swallows of coffee to keep me going, though.
So howz yer day so far?

I certainly can't find anybody near me with a 'Net search. My first Braun machine, a fairly simple one, I bought in late 1986; it performed without issue until '99. There was a tech shop in Denver which repaired its leak, and it went back into service until about '02 or '03. No shops here in Da Swamp, so I've had a succession of machines, each lasting about four years, since.
I want one with the brew pause, so you can pour a cup during the brewing, and with a keep-warm feature. Target has one for about $80. (Grrrr.)

I've got a Keuring K-Cup maker here that isn't being used.
Dad drank coffee, but I don't.
So I got him the maker after Mom died because he said he didn't need a full pot without her drinking out of it and he just wanted to use K-Cups.
The thing was only used a few months before he quit drinking coffee totally and now it's just sitting there (along with almost an entire case of McDonald's brand Decaf K-Cups) and hasn't been turned on in a year or more.
I've tried giving it away to people who drink coffee but nobody can be bothered to take a free, barely-used, coffee maker with extra water filters and a cleaning kit.

I'd be interested -- except I don't want to get into the K-Cup business. I buy my Cafe El Morro ground coffee at Aldi, $3.65 for 8.8 oz. Those K-Cup packages are $$. I brew about five cups a morning, drink three or four small cups, and pour the rest into a mug in the fridge for a quick swallow or two when I get up.

I doubt they drink decaf, though, so I'll probably be chunking that in the garbage.

During the last few days i had listened to / watched videos that retold the story of the Battle of Cowpens (1781). The shattering of Banastre Tarleton's loyalist force by the patriots led by Daniel Morgan set in motion events that led to Cornwallis surrendering at Yorktown by October.
Now, I mostly listen to such fare as I do something else. Here, as far as things go, these videos did a decent job sticking to the facts as we know them today (with conversations among participants being free to take more liberty with the truth -- after all, such were neither recorded nor related by participants.
On the visual side, however, they were vomitous masses. Depictions of long lines of combatants stretching clear out to the horizon, way out of line with the actual numbers known (around 1,000 with Morgan and 1,650 with Tarleton). Every combatant uniformly decked out in stereotypical gear associated with their cause. And on it went. Visual vomit delivered up as cookie cutter scenes by AI. Complete crap, lazy and deliberately misleading.

The person that I employ to cut my hatr has been a free agent for five years now. That is to say, she rents space at a shop for one day a week and performs her tasks using some of the shop's equipment. It's kind of like a fabrication shop for artists or craftsmen who know how to use a wide variety of tools but do not want to own them.
Anyway, she has started using a different shop this month and her means for payment are Venmo or cash. The unwinding of the credit card economy is happening.

It is not that women are more replaceable, but that they have chosen jobs that are more replaceable. The same DEI race and sex discrimination against straight white men extended from hiring to mentoring, promotions, and of course choice of plum assignments.
That last is subjective, and in the interest of "having it all" (which cultural messages say women "should"), they stereotypically have a strong interest in jobs with a good "work/life balance". Those jobs have predictable hours and low stress, which go along with keyboard jobs doing rote processes without profit/loss responsibility -- perfect for AI automation.
The specific kinds of full-time jobs that are sometimes sarcastically called "corporate adult daycare" are mostly held by women, and are exactly those most susceptible to be turned into someone else's brief review and approval task.

I have no doubt. It is a grotesque rejection of God's creation, and in fact has caused me to reconsider my old "live and let live" tolerance of homosexuality. I now lean more to the traditional condemnation of it as a form of rebellion against God's plan -- not that I would go around making a big deal out of it, just as I hold my tongue around oath-breaking adulterers.
If no one asked my opinion, it's probably not relevant or useful. But my silent condemnation is fierce.

Monday Overnight Open Thread (5/11/26)
Quote I “Because race has always been identified as a political consideration, not only as it relates to the constitution of the United States but also how it is implemented at the state level. That’s why these districts were always drawn so that they took race into consideration.” Donna Brazile
Quote II "My child did not go to school and say anything harmful or bad," Little said. "They could have simply explained to him, 'Hey, we cannot build things that we think are a weapon or look like a gun.'" Chanti LittleSounds like a school district that discriminates against black autistic children. Guess who else at that school district never learned to think outside the box? And further more I would bet a Benjamin that the decision was made by a woman.
Time for a dose of Paul Joseph Watson, it's been a while.
If anything, the SPLC proved more aggressive during Huang’s leadership. That 2022 “hate map” included Moms for Liberty and other parental rights groups alongside chapters of the Ku Klux Klan. The following year, the SPLC added groups of doctors who oppose transgender ideology to the map. Last year, it added PragerU, Focus on the Family, and Turning Point USA to the map. A few months later, Charlie Kirk got a bullet in the neck. Hayden’s story reveals yet more dysfunction and corruption at the SPLC, but his suggestion that the SPLC should grow even more aggressive in demonizing conservatives is bone-chilling. Let’s hope the new leadership doesn’t follow his advice.
Call me a misanthropic curmudgeon. But why in the hell would you visit a landfill in a 3rd world country? Oh hell, a snipe hunt.
The 70-year-old had boarded the ship with his wife Miriam after they visited a landfill in Argentina, where they are believed to have caught the virus. He was the first person to die, with Miriam dying a few days later trying to board a flight back home to the Netherlands from South Africa. The couple was on a five-month trip in South America, and travelled to the landfill site as it is home to a rare species of Patagonian birds, including the White-bellied Seedsnipe.
So how does "Karen" Whittmer Governor of Michigan and Soros flunkie explain this? Soviet Style Trial in Michigan for Criticizing a Politician – A Horrifying True Story
There were no threats—just strong criticism of a public official using the powers of his office to silence dissent. What happened next is straight out of a Soviet playbook. In December 2023—three months after Aisen’s last email—Aisen was arrested in Massachusetts, extradited to Michigan, and locked up in Oakland County Jail.
Tracking private jets has become increasingly popular in recent years, whether to shame artists like Taylor Swift for her carbon footprint or to simply monitor the activity of billionaires like Elon Musk. McDonald told Straight Arrow that he witnessed a notable spike in flights by private aircraft around the time of Trump’s threats. “Was it because Trump was threatening genocide without even getting the approval of Congress?” McDonald asked sarcastically. “Hard to say.” The surge in activity led McDonald to wonder: Do the wealthiest among us know something that we don’t? Inside information
Less than two weeks later, while reading about the perfect timing of $1 billion in prediction-market bets about the Iran war, an idea came to McDonald: the “Apocalypse Early Warning System.”
Pratt, Reform, Trump, MAGA, MAHA, the pendulum is swinging in the right direction. Can the correct rhythm continue?

New research proposes Dante’s Inferno modelled a planetary impact 500 years before modern science!
Burbery proposes that Dante envisioned Satan as a high-velocity impactor hitting the Southern Hemisphere and tunnelling to the Earth’s centre. This impact forces the Northern Hemisphere to retreat, which, consequently, forms the core of Hell as a bottom-up crater, while the earth displaced behind Satan creates the mountain of Purgatory as a central peak.

Thank you, MisHum. I grew up (probably like you and many of us here) reading the capsule summaries/blurbs for TV shows and movies in the old TV Guide, and still like to wrap my commentary up in a few sentences.

Its been a while since I was in school, but if I remember right when the constitution was written the only race consideration was that this was white muthafucka land, and everybody else was either getting hunted on the plains or sold as property. Not saying it was right, but they didn't consider jack fucking shit when it came to race back then. Women didn't even vote.

I took it as intentional. We were discussing a tattooed toddler, after all.
But I'd guess Mom was using the bathroom mirror to tattoo "Freeway Entrance" on her lower back when the kid interrupted her, though.

Any person who cannot distinguish between a 'weapon' and 'not a weapon' should be squirreled away from the rest of society as a deadly threat to others. Why? Most jurisdiction allow for use of deadly force to protect others from deadly force...

The original story was written by William Bowers and André De Toth with John Wayne in mind. Wayne loved it and offered Bowers $10,000 for it. The writer thought it was worth more and told Wayne how he felt. The actor reportedly said, "Well, you wrote it for me. Don't you have any artistic integrity?" Bowers later got $70,000 for it at Fox, and Wayne harbored ill feelings about the incident, accusing Bowers of selling it out from under him. In addition, Wayne refused to work for Columbia Pictures because its chief, Harry Cohn, had mistreated him years before when he was a young contract player. Cohn thought Wayne was seeing a woman Cohn himself was having an affair with and tried to ruin Wayne's career. Cohn had bought the project for Wayne, but Wayne's grudge was too deep, and Cohn sold the script to Twentieth Century Fox, which cast Gregory Peck in the role Wayne badly wanted but for which he refused to bend.

Soviet oligarchs have been turning off their transponders or spoofing them for decades.
The US military turns them off, or spoofs them regularly to throw off adversaries like Iran or Venezuela.
"Plane spotting" or tracking notable peoples and their aircraft (or yachts) goes back quite a while.... but it is a security issue for them.
A security issue I don't really give a fuck about for the majority of them. Take a goddamn bus if you're that concerned.

I have the distinct honor of being escorted out of the Kingdome in the mid-80s when the Mariners were like 97 games out of first place by four King County Sheriffs because I sat behind home plate in the bottom of the 9th inning. Degrees of difficulty: there were more ushers and cops in the stadium than paying baseball fans. Extra credit degrees difficulty: A guy was six season tickets told the cops to back off because me and my friend were his guests.

President Donald Trump on Monday alluded to the U.S. sending troops into Iran to retrieve its highly enriched uranium (HEU). His comments follow similar words on the same topic from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made to 60 Minutes on Sunday. Taken in aggregate, the statements suggest that there is coordinated messaging on the issue between Washington and Jerusalem and, after stalled talks with Iran, the possibility of such an operation may have been elevated.
=========
I suggested this as a possible issue to the stalled "peace" talks between IRGC/Iran and the US this morning.

The name, William Lindsay Gresham, of the novel's author was familiar, so I looked it up. He was married for a time to Joy Davidman, the woman who had been corresponding with C.S. Lewis and who eventually divorced her husband, Gresham, went to England, and married Lewis -- the story told in the movie Shadowlands w/ Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger.

Part 1
Once in his shop a workman wrought,
With languid hand and listless thought,
When through the open window's space,
Behold, a camel thrust his face!
"My nose is cold," he meekly cried;
"Oh, let me warm it by thy side!"
Since no denial word was said,
In came the nose, in came the head:
As sure as sermon follows text,
The long and scraggly neck came next;
And then, as falls the threatening storm,
In leaped the whole ungainly form.

Part 2
Aghast, the owner gazed around,
And the rude invader frowned,
Convinced, as closer still he pressed,
There was no room for such a guest;
Yet more astonished, heard him say,
"If thou art troubled, go away,
For in this place I choose to stay."
O, youthful hearts for gladness born,
Treat not this Arab lore with scorn!
To evil habits' earliest wile
Lend neither ear, no glance, nor smile.
Choke the dark fountain ere it flows,
Nor e'en admit the camel's nose.

Back in the bad old days, Westinghouse Electric had a copper foundry on Thompson's Run, and every once in awhile, the water under the Penn Avenue bridge would turn a bright blue-green for 10 or 15 minutes.
All gone now, not only the foundry, but the shop where those castings were incorporated into large motors. That particular bridge has been replaced, but the creek is still.there.

So I've always heard, and that they bite too. Of course it might be that they've been badly treated by humans all their lives, and if they weren't, they might be better-natured.
I'm not inclined to test the theory.

This was on X, 3 or 4 days ago. - at least the conversation between them and Trump.
The news talks about them all trying to kumbaya but the way I see it ie permissions to use and not use Arab bases is that they are more interested in punitive action than Trump, who does intend to get the uranium.

The reason why I have little to no sympathy for people like her, with their "toxic" or "suicidal" empathy, is because I do not even give them credit for good intentions. It once again comes back to Upton Sinclair's formulation of the power incentive, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
Combine that with the understanding in economics that value is subjective, so psychic income is real income. When one starts from the assumption that her countrymen are just irrational bigots, then she concludes that she is their moral and intellectual superior. And once she has expressed that thought, the cognitive bias of Commitment Tendency latches on, lending its strength to the incentive power of her emotional salary.
Admitting that her countrymen opposed to immigration may have had a point becomes impossible, and I have no sympathy, since it started with the self-congratulatory error of scornful pride.

There are a couple of videos of men using camels in the Canary Islands to carry goods and rock in the traditional way. The camels all have wire muzzles that look like they are made of heavy industrial grade chicken wire.
Camels are not gentle creatures. They like to bite when vexed, and they are always vexed.

They did find they can go long periods with little to no water, and can eat just about anything, but they are a pain in the ass and difficult to handle and weren’t too popular with wranglers. Even if the Late Unpleasantness hadn’t curtailed testing prematurely I don’t think Camels would have been utilized.

I had some unfortunate news last week. A previous boss, one of the three worst bosses I had in over a 40+ year career died suddenly last week. He was in his late 40's. I did not care for this person in the least, but feel very bad for his family and especially for his elderly parents if they are still around. He was never married, no kids, advanced degree. A wasted life in my opinion.
Maybe I'll send in a request to the prayer thread for the repose of his soul.

Maybe I read they cut ‘em loose, and so wild Camels were seen now and then for a few years.
Now Mules were considered useful, and I’ve read they would trade for more money than horses amongst the Injuns. I always thought it might be fun to load up hiking gear and take a Mule. If one is not used to riding a horse, it is not all that great after about 15 miles or so.

Dromedaries (the one humped vesrsion) that were used in AZ are adapted to the hot, dry Arabian desert, so I think that they probably imported Bactrian (the two humped versions) from central.Asia. They are adapted to the high Gobi desert, where subs freezing temperatures are normal.

The stance highlights the fine balance the world’s third-biggest oil importer and consumer is seeking to strike between securing energy supplies and avoiding LNG cargoes on which the U.S. has placed sanctions, which are harder to disguise and carry greater compliance risk. It also underscores the limits of Moscow’s ability to pivot its LNG exports to new market

The marriage seems to have been a mess before they said "I do." They should never have gotten in or stayed in. Years of toxicity, and Betty loses her mind. She should have gotten revenge by moving on, losing some weight, changing her wound-up personality, and living surrounded by friends and maybe a new husband.

The family of a couple who died after becoming ill on the ‘hantavirus’ cruise ship have said their ‘beautiful journey together has been cut short’.
They loved each other "a bushel and a peck".
And where would we be without a member of the corps of influencers to keep us appraised of matters?

When my oldest was about 7 I let him go with a school buddy and his mom to see the circus being set up a few towns over. When he came home he couldn't wait to tell me about the camels who took massive dumps in the field and then lay down and rubbed their faces in it.

🚨 Calling balls and strikes, this is a good bill from Leader John Thune. He just filed cloture to force a vote on a resolution to withhold Senators’ pay during any future government shutdown.
If it passes, Senators’ paychecks get locked up in a vault until the shutdown ends. No back pay for them while furloughed workers and troops suffer.

It's sad when elected politicians don't know anything about history but get on television and make fools out of themselves by showing their ignorance. For instance, who sold Africans into slavery in the first place? Other Africans did. But that fact is always omitted. Why? Is it because it's never taught in schools or is it omitted on purpose?

They like hop and over they go. I had a young buck get caught in a corner. I walked around and he went head first jumping into the bar across my 5 foot chain link fence. Bent the fuck out of it and actually pulled the gate post out about an inch. I just turned tail and hauled ass. I don't know where he went. I spent the weekend having to redo that gate so my dogs couldn't get out. The last straw was the greenhouse. I don't want to get into that.

If you have the room, heavy nylon fishing line on the thin steel tent pegs. Tie the line to the top of the fence, then run it down at about a 45° angle to the ground. The skinny steel.tent pegs can be easily pulled up.when it's time to mow. One line about every 18" or so.
The deer see the line and are afraid to jump the fence for fear of getting tangled. It worked for me at our last house, but that was in the suburbs with lots of other yards with flowers and gardens around. Don't know how well it would work if you're the only attraction in the area.

Blonde,

Incidentally, while trying to find it I stumbled on a similar newer video by a retired financial planner, except that his five things to keep mum about are your salary or savings, desire to quit or retire, giving power of attorney, your boss and people you dislike, and serious mental health issues. It isn't a bad list, but I think it's not as generally applicable.

Yeah, the one between Mercer Island and Seattle proper, IIRC (though I probably don't).
Though honestly my first guess on the floating bridge was China. I'd like to thing that everyone else in the world would build their floating bridges to accommodate at least two lanes of traffic and not make waves as the cars travel over it.
... though admittedly, making it only one lane and presumably switching traffic directions after every vehicle would likely prevent it from being overloaded and swamped.

I got a "tuck pointer trowel" for repointing brickwork, and I use that for grubbing out the spaces between my pavers in the back yard path.
It means I get to spend quality time on my hands and knees, but it is easier than digging out and then resetting the pavers to get the weeds out, which previously was the only way short of herbicide to keep the weeds and grass out.

Super stoked when he got it done; mowed the front and back yard on Sunday; f**king weedwhacker battery coming off the charger lasted like 8 minutes. Got a new one in the amazon cart.

My brother's backyard is paver land, beautiful. Large elevated paver porch, lower massive paver area with a fire pit and out door kitchen. All done with tumbled pavers, I told him I wanted to do pavers in my yard since the concrete patio is sinking and starting to pitch towards the house. He says don't do it, you'll be a slave to all the weeds that come up. I said I never see any weeds in yours. He says because I'm constantly digging out the weeds, I get these green sprouts everywhere. I said just spray the damn things. He says yeah, so instead of green things I'll have dead brown things. He suggested stamped concrete. I still want pavers, easy to repair.

I had pavers and sprayed. Worked fine. A little zoom zoom over the top with a weed eater if anything comes up but I used the strong season long killer and didn't really have a problem. You do have to lay a good sand + gravel foundation first. But like you said easy to repair.

Get a blowtorch and burn them. At least it will be fun.
I got some flat rocks for most of my tiny yard and at one point pulled out most of the dirt between the rocks and replaced it with small rocks. Took quite a while for any weeds to start growing and pulling was quite easy. That was some years back though.

I have a paver pathway out to the shed because I salvaged them from the neighbor who replaced his old patio with a new one. It is replacing the old path that was made out of fired clay blocks that were disintegrating.
I don't know the trick to keep them weed free, but the nice thing is if you don't care, you can let the weeds and grass colonize the gaps and mow it. The extra nice thing is that it remains water permeable, unlike a concrete slab, which needs a camber or slope away from the house.
The drawback is without a good leveled gravel and sand base, it will get lumpy and/or swaybacked like a backcountry road in slide country.
Mine I did over a couple of weekends, and then re-levelled for a couple of summers, so I don't much care any more. Make sure the gaps between the pavers are about 1/2-3/4" and I suggest a final level of crushed limestone for grouting because the white finish looks nice. It keeps my shoes out of the mud in the winter, which is what I needed most.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has warned his own party to proceed carefully with South Carolina’s redistricting push, cautioning that thousands of voters who have already cast ballots in the statewide primary could be disenfranchised if the primary date is moved...
...Graham argued there is no justification for shifting the statewide primary date when early voting is already underway. He said a congressional primary could potentially be pushed back to August if lawmakers ultimately decide to draw new maps, but he drew a clear line at altering the schedule for the broader statewide contest.
“Thousands of people have already voted. We shouldn’t invalidate their votes,” Graham said. “There is no reason to change the primary. People have already voted.”

My late Uncle, a farmer, who I also helped...mainly yard work or checking on him got us some of the good stuff from the farmer's co-op.
I've been hiring a guy to spray and the yard looks great. It looks foresty with all the trees but it looks great.
Just because I like to let all of you know Canadian prices of things, the spraying cost $100 cash...so about $70 US for a pretty large corner lot.
A lot of the plant beds have stones and that weed fabric. Decades old and useless. I'll just have things chemically nuked.

"Last night, Labour sources said a delegation of senior ministers had gone to No 10 to tell Sir Keir his time is up.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper were among those telling him to go, it was reported.
Several key figures in the Government are said to have visited No 10 on Monday night with Defence Secretary John Healey among those urging the PM to quit.
Further face-to-face calls are expected at this morning's Cabinet meeting if Sir Keir refuses to budge.
'It's happening,' said one source. 'The PM has had his say, people have heard him out, but it has not changed minds. The herd is moving.'"

"Estíbaliz Kortazar Errecatxo rented a room to a 48-year-old North African migrant out of humanitarian solidarity through a volunteer association. It is reported that the migrant tenant eventually stopped paying rent, damaged her property, and subjected her to psychological harassment and threats.

Kortazar alleged he watched pornography in her presence, made unwelcome sexual innuendos, and ignored basic hygiene in the shared home. He also intentionally kept the television volume high at night and left lights on constantly to disturb her.
Kortazar was forced to flee her own home out of fear. Reports indicate the man changed the locks and occupied the property."

Quick Hits
The former mayor of Arcadia resigned after admitting to acting as an illegal foreign agent of China in a federal plea deal unsealed on Monday. Eileen Wang agreed with prosecutors that she worked with the People's Republic of China to boost propaganda with a fake news website on US soil between 2020 and 2022. She was elected to Arcadia City Council in November 2022. The city is within LA County. Wang pled guilty to the federal charge at her arraignment in downtown Los Angeles on Monday afternoon. She faces a maximum of 10 years in prison. LA's top federal prosecutor Bill Essayli said this is not the first time China has been caught trying to exert its influence in the United States. "Ms. Wang is just the latest to act as an agent for the PRC and it should terrify Americans that she was able to rise to the highest levels of local office in her city," Essayli said. According to court documents, Wang worked with her then fiancé, Yaoning "Mike" Sun, on a web site called "U.S. News Center," which claimed to be news source for Chinese Americans. But in reality the pair were carrying out Beijing's orders through the site, and sharing data on how many people had viewed the story with Chinese officials. Wang and Sun "executed directives" from the Chinese government, posting propaganda designed to help China and reporting back to their masters with screenshots showing how many people viewed the stories, according to the plea agreement. In one case, Wang's spymaster ordered her to post a PRC-authored essay denying the existence of genocide and forced labor in the Xinjiang region, according to the document. "There is no genocide in Xinjiang; there is no such thing as 'forced labor' in any production activity, including cotton production. Spreading such rumor is to defame China, destroy Xinjiang's safety and stability," wrote Wang's master, according to the plea agreement.

@libsoftiktok BREAKING: Walgreens reveals the Chicago South Side store they are shuttering after 20 years, lost $1 million mainly due to theft last year, which is 4x the company average, while they spent $400k a year on security and employees still got assaulted.
Paul A. Szypula
@Bubblebathgirl Mayor Brandon Johnson is facing outrage from Chicago residents over Walgreens store closures, particularly on the South Side. Walgreens is closing its longtime Chatham store on June 4 after $1 million in losses in 2025 and high theft rates. The store had been there more than 20 years. Walgreens said theft at that location was four times the company average. Walgreens spent $400,000 a year on security officers in addition to other measures, but that wasn't enough. Thieves would break through the defenses and rob the store anyway. Johnson needs to seriously address the crime that's making businesses leave Chicago.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick
@ReichlinMelnick I still see people claiming that Biden flew migrants into the United States. That did NOT happen. No such program existed. The closest thing was the parole programs which allowed some Ukrainians, Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to come here legally for two years.
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ President Biden created the CHNV migrant flights mass parole program which allowed 30,000 migrants to fly into the U.S. every month (not on taxpayer dime) for 2 year humanitarian parole grants, totaling over 500,000 migrants. But they never left, and the DHS Inspector General found the Biden admin wasn't even tracking their parole expiration & certainly wasn't enforcing it. There was also no vetting of their sponsors and widespread fraud was found in the program, leading the Biden admin to temporarily pause it. One Haitian man who flew into JFK airport as part of the program was supposed to be with his listed sponsor in New Jersey, but he ended up in a migrant hotel outside of Boston where he was convicted of raping a young girl in the hotel. This program didn't exist before Biden, so yes, Biden quite literally allowed more than half a million migrants to circumvent the border and fly into the US outside of the normal visa or legal immigration process, and the large majority of them are still here well past the expiration of their 2 year parole grants.

Spencer Pratt on how he'll make LA more affordable: "What people forget is they can't lower the cost of goods. The only thing you can do to make things more affordable as mayor, which I will be able to do, is put more money in people's pockets. We need to put more revenue in the city. We're over here they're always asking me, 'How are you going to balance this budget Spencer? There's going to be no money to do this.' We should be the number one city in the world. We should have money shooting out of ATMs. We're Los Angeles. There'll be plenty of money when we let the systems work. When we let business work. How can you let business work if you have drug addicts going number two and number one in front of every café? We lost over 100 restaurants in LA, not because they weren't good food, but cause you have drug addicts scaring people to go out." Everything Pratt says here is right. He's sharp, smart and strong. He's just letting loose and it's glorious to see. I wish I lived in LA just so I could vote for him.

Among the military hardware was an Iranian Air Force RC-130, a reconnaissance and intelligence-gathering variant of the Lockheed C-130 Hercules tactical transport aircraft."

Wow I must be American, because my first reaction is "That's not the government's job"
If those men were normal men from civilized societies that question wouldn't need to be asked because the answer is "They have sufficient self-control to find licit outlets on their own."
I am really hoping that the intent of the questioner was a very politely and diplomatically-worded way of saying "How are you going to keep them from raping people?" because it could just as easily be understood to imply that the government is already responsible for assigning sexual partners to people and I'm not sure I would put it past the British government to try that and the British people to allow it.

The platform to the right of the scanner senses the added weight of each item. You physically have to put each item on it separately. Of course, in a line with a real human checkout person, you can do the triple scan maneuver.

The dirty secret the Dems hide is that their minority coalition are way more bigoted against each other than white folks are about any one of the groups. I know we people of pallor do have stereotypes and prejudices, but as a group we are more likely to judge on individual character instead of hating on everyone that is group XYZ.

People bitch about self checkout yet the lines are somehow still there. I like self checkout. I get in and get out much faster and don’t have to deal with other people. If I just need three or four items, instead of dealing with a grannie who insists on writing a check, or a customer arguing with a cashier…I just go do my own thing. Stores should pay me store credit for helping people get things off of high shelves but they won’t. Hence the “logic” of “they should pay me to bag and check out my own groceries” doesn’t fly with me either.

The dumbest thing you can do, as much as I like self-checkout, is to go to an all-self checkout model. I’ve seen Wally World try it in Lubbock and Amarillo and was not impressed. You need both options. Self checkout is good for 10 items or less. Cashiers are good for larger orders and the whiners and complainers who hate self checkout because they aren’t store employees (they wouldn’t survive three seconds in Germany: you bring your own bags and bag your own groceries; don’t like it? What’s German for “Tough shit”?). Just my 0.02.

I think there was a series of test Amazon stores, where you just load up the cart, and the super scanners calculate everything. I know it can be done, I am not sure this has been implemented on a large scale.
Posted by: runner
===============
I shopped at one. I'm not sure it's still there. I can't remember how it worked. You'd scan something and walk out? Or it sniffed you and identified you as an Amazon account holder. Employees in the store had to explain it to virtually every shopper, so it seems to me it was more trouble than it was worth.

Didn’t you complain about how you won’t use self checkout because you aren’t an employee of the store? Well, by your very own logic when I am asked by some 5 foot tall old lady to help her get something off the top shelf, I should say “Fuck you, I don’t work here”. And I shouldn’t because I am not paid by the store.
I banned eating and drinking in my classroom because the kids were pigs without a trace of manners. Their response would be something you would say: “People are paid to clean up after us so we can and should be pigs.” If I am getting bread, milk and eggs and that’s it, why not scan my own groceries and bag my own groceries? I’m getting out of the way of the whiners and complainers.

It may save time. But what they do is they cut 90% of their cashiers. So you then have a bunch of self scan, all with lines and then one cashier with a big big line. It turns out to not be a great time saver.

Meijers self checkout has an overhead video that busts you scanning the same item when you buy in quantity. Also stops at a liquor purchase, or so I've been told.
So, an employee is still involved in a purchase.
Wal-Mart does pretty much the same thing, as well as providing you a contact pot buzz and freak show.

let’s not pretend this is the same as a shoe store closing. Walgreens spent decades embedding itself as the neighborhood prescription hub, helped wipe out independent pharmacy options, and trained seniors and chronic-care patients to rely on them. Once you build that dependency, you don’t get to shrug and say “not profitable enough” like you were only selling chips and greeting cards.
What the heck are they stealing? Everything in my Walgreens is locked down like Fort Knox and I live on the North Side.
I've stopped shopping at walgreens all together because the prices are insane. The convenience is just not worth it
What convenience? You gotta wait for someone to get you the things you need that are locked up, then wait 20 min in line again.
Was about to buy sleeping pills from Walgreens out of convenience. Saw the price was $22 for the same bottle I pay $12 for at Walmart. So I just ordered from Walmart plus and got free delivery same day
I don't understand why anyone would shop at Walgreens. The markup is so high that it surpasses the 80% retail margin rule. They are robbing you.

Bring some amazon boxes too and lie down the bags in them as they fill up and start another layer. Build a mountain.

You are working overtime to refuse to see it. I should check “graciousness” at the door because I am not on the store payroll, according to you. (And I bet you are one of the many assholes I have to pick up after because you decide you don’t want something so you will leave a package of, say, hamburger, in the cereal aisle, thinking “someone else will pick this up, it’s not my job”.)
You are a “it’s not my job, fuck everybody else” kind of person. Probably just leaves the cart wherever in the parking lot too.

NASA and JPL have been playing with helicopters. For Mars. You may remember that little Ingenuity test helicopter they played around with. They're wanting to do more. Only problem is, Mars' atmosphere is so thin, the blades have to spin fast, and the speed of sound is a big problem. Well, they managed to get rotor blades over Mach 1 (under Martian atmosphere conditions):

Unless the reduction in wages and benefits for several fewer employees help keep the prices you pay at the checkout down.
But most people don't see that cost and consider it "non-existant"
When the cost of wages (or increased benefits and compliance costs) go up, there is something called "deadweight loss". This is a reaction by a customer service side of a business to reduce the costs to compensate for the increased cost of doing business. It is shown by reduced customer experience jobs and services.
This is why there are no long gas pump attendants, or box boys or clean bathrooms, aisles, and landscaping for places that used to be pretty nice and now tend to look grim.
The alternative is to raise prices on goods and services, and unfortunately most places the customers are very sensitive on pricing, and move to cheaper brands or cheaper stores.

Washington Post: 42% of Democrats Think the Butler PA Assassination Attempt that Killed One Man Was "Staged"
Gee it's funny, I remember Jake Tapper devoting his show to rebutting "conspiracy theories" for years.
And now he's silent as a dummy. I wonder why.The Washington PostYeah I don't believe 1 in 8 Republicans said that. A lot of Democrats know how crazy they sound and are claiming to be "Republicans" who believe Trump had one of his supporters murdered as a sympathy play. Full article:
@washingtonpost About 1 in 4 Americans think the April shooting at the White House correspondents' dinner was staged according to a new survey. Roughly 1 in 3 Democratic respondents said they believed the event was staged, compared with about 1 in 8 Republicans.
I remember when it was revealed that "Palestinian" leader Mahmoud Abbas was a Holocaust denier. His defenders said -- and this is probably accurate -- Holocaust denial brands a "moderate." Because the harder-core don't deny the Holocaust -- they celebrate it. Similarly, it's the "moderate" Democrats who claim the many assassination attempts on Trump by their political allies were "staged." The harder Democrat position is that the assassins were just bad shots, and they need to recruit better ones. I mean, literally thousands of accounts on TikTok say exactly that.
Many Americans think Trump assassination attempts were fake, survey finds About 1 in 4 say the correspondents' dinner shooting was staged, the poll found, including roughly a third of Democrats, as conspiracy theories spread widely online.
About 1 in 4 Americans think the April shooting at the White House correspondents' dinner was staged, with a marked partisan divide, according to a survey published Monday. Roughly 1 in 3 Democratic respondents said they believed the event was staged, compared with about 1 in 8 Republicans, according to a survey published Monday by NewsGuard, a company that rates the reliability of online news outlets. Respondents between the ages of 18 and 29 were also more likely than older people to think the incident was staged, according to the report.Fake Jake, you want to get in on this or are you all good?
Last week, a federal grand jury in D.C. indicted the alleged gunman, charging Cole Tomas Allen with four felonies, including the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump. Soon after the incident that led to his arrest at the Washington Hilton, conspiracy theories began to spread online that falsely claim the Trump administration staged the incident in an effort to manufacture support for the president, the Republican Party and his planned White House ballroom. The NewsGuard survey found that 24 percent of U.S. adults believe the incident at the Washington Hilton was fake, compared with 45 percent who believed it was legitimate. An additional 32 percent said they were unsure. The survey of 1,000 American adults was conducted by YouGov from April 28 to May 4. "It's very striking," said Sofia Rubinson, an editor at NewsGuard. The results underscore broader skepticism that Americans feel toward the government and the press, she said. "Increasingly, people on all sides of the political spectrum are distrustful of both this administration and also the media," she said, but willing to trust unverified information they see online. The White House rejected the conspiracy theories in a statement provided after publication. "Anyone who thinks President Trump staged his own assassination attempts is a complete moron," spokesman Davis Ingle said. Joan Donovan, a Boston University professor who researches media manipulation, said the results are an indicator of the role of showmanship in Trump's presidency. "It just seems incredibly Hollywood to imagine that this is staged," Donovan said of the correspondents' dinner shooting. "The entire apparatus of the government has been turned into a reality TV show."Oh I get it, the psychotic breakdown of Democrats is Trump's fault. Of course. Of course.
This is the "expert" the Post called to get context for the left's psychotic break with reality. There were no other experts available.
It can be natural of people to fall for conspiracy theories when they're trying to make sense of complicated events, Donovan said. "Unfortunately, when governments or institutions are hiding the truth about what they're up to or they're playing fast and loose with certain regulations or they're not imposing certain laws on different people," Donovan said, "it is much easier to believe in a conspiracy against oneself than it is to believe that the system has become rotted."
42 percent of Democrats believe the Butler, PA assassination attempt on President Trump was staged.

The moment the men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the men who just wanted to be left alone.”

Every public opinion ppll taken from the 1960s to the present -- staged
All the data purported "supporting" Anthropogenic Global Warming -- staged
All the accusations against Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, Mitt Romney, Donald Trump, etc. etc. etc. -- staged
Fake protests arranged by the SPLC -- staged.
Every so-called "hate crime" of the last 20 years -- staged.
And on and on and on. That's all they do.
So yeah, of course it's natural that they think things are staged. They live in a completely corrupt politcal hemisphere.

Speaking of AI videos, I noticed something recently.
When AI videos started coming out a couple of years ago, all the hip kids made fun of the boomers who couldn't spot the fakes. Now that AI videos are getting really good, the hip kids are falling for the videos even harder than the boomers did. They don't have the real life experience to compare things they see to the likelihood of those things being real.

I was chatting with him yesterday and he told me he's been on a liver cleanse. I'm already extremely suspicious of cleanses, but I'm holding my tongue. He says phase I just ended, and now he's on to phase II. Phase II involves ingesting Turpentine.
Alright, tongue holding time over. I look at him quizically and ask him, "Turpentine?" "Yes," he says. I immediately get on google and am looking for Turpentine toxicity concentration and other similar information. He assures me he's going to only take half a tablespoon per day and it's "pure" Turpentine, distilled from pine resin.
I tell him a fatal dose is somewhere around 8 to 12 tablespoons. I see it's a gastrointestinal irritant, a CNS depressant, and can cause pneumonitis if aspirated.
I tell him this. He tells me he trusts Dr Andrew Kaufmann. I ask him if he's sure he's not being pranked. Andy Kaufmann? Really? Like the comedian? He says no. I look this guy up. Apparently he's a real MD, but I'm skeptical. He tells me he'll text me later today, or maybe not.

It's like that "ground rules" question to global warming truthers:
Are there any facts that you can think of, if you were wrong on, that would change your mind?
If no, then you are not seeking truth, your belief is religious.
No leftist will ever discuss the "falsifiables" of their beliefs.
As AtC oft said (IIRC) under the Reign of Obama, something like, "if any of his policy proposals produce the of results he promises, I promise to change my mind.
But, they won't.
Nor will liberal will ever make the opposite promise."

The father of the Moon landing conspiracy was a character named Bill Kaysing. He self-published a little book back in 1976 claiming it was all fake. He got some currency because he was a former employee of Rocketdyne.
However, he wasn't an engineer, or rocket scientist, etc, just a technical writer, and wove quite a tale of how they faked it. And that story changed over the years.
Now, the flat-earthers and other lunatics picked up on that, but they are just flat-out insane. Kaysing and the others that followed aren't loons like that, just think we didn't and still don't have the technical ability to actually get the Moon.

Exactly and the more you look at these events, the weirder they get. Throw in Russia being caught helping organize fake assassination attempts to prop up candidates popularity in Turkey and the whole thing because super suspicious to even the most conspiracy averse citizens.
I still think that one is as simple as he cut his ear on the Secret Service agent's holstered gun as he was being pushed down, and they tried to play it off as being grazed by the bullet. It explains the blood and why his ear isn't a mangled wreck.
If any of the attempts were real , he’d be talking shit about the secret service all day and prob also fire a lot of them
He's quite literally one of the old people from the life alert commercials. It’d be nice if he’d fall and can’t get up ASAP.
He got Kirk flatlined with all of the conspiracies he spouts. I want to believe the first was real and they only downplayed it is because dude turned out to be hardcore right wing and they couldn't spin it against the left, but..

I can prove Gilligan's Island was staged.
The Minnow was a 1964 Wheeler, measuring 38'6" It had two Detroit Deisel engines @ 230 hp each. Maximum speed was 14 knots, with a cruising speed of 12 knots.
At 12 knots, and assuming a three hour cruise out-and-back, it could travel 18 nautical miles, which translates to 20.72 miles away from the dock. They would not have been castaways very long.

No need to wonder; some already say (paraphrased), "Well, maybe some of them were real, but Apollo 11 was fake, to make sure we got the Cold War propaganda victory of getting there first, because we thought the Soviet Union was breathing down our necks. You can't trust TPTB on anything; they'll always have a justification for lying to you, and will double down and never admit it."
It used to be that there was no apparent purpose but to demoralize Americans and remove a huge accomplishment and source of national pride, but not any longer. With the 'plandemic', we can see the ones that were actually radically skeptical of authority; they avoided the "clot shot," and were proven correct in their summary conclusion (if not their specific reasoning). Others turned out to have just been edgy or anti-American, didn't really mean it (to their detriment), and fell for the psyop.

There was a storm, which might well have pushed them a considerable distance. The direction of such a storm should be pretty well known even with 1970s tech.
Looking at the track of a storm last year seem to more or less travel up the chain of the Hawaiian Islands to the north and west.

I can prove Gilligan's Island was staged.
The Minnow was a 1964 Wheeler, measuring 38'6" It had two Detroit Deisel engines @ 230 hp each. Maximum speed was 14 knots, with a cruising speed of 12 knots.
At 12 knots, and assuming a three hour cruise out-and-back, it could travel 18 nautical miles, which translates to 20.72 miles away from the dock. They would not have been castaways very long.

The amazing thing is how much money was spent to get the Moon back in the '60s. In current 2025 dollars, NASA's budget peaked at around $67B. That doesn't sound that all that much, but it was over 4% of the federal budget at the time. In current budget terms, that would be in the ballpark of $300B per year.
Several 100Ks of people were involved with the project over the decade.
The truth is faking a Moon landing (accurately) would've been much harder than actually doing it.

Puritan culture cross fertilized with Marxism explains the modern left in this country. And culture persist far longer than the actual necessity that created it in the first place. See the Arab world for example stuck in raiding patterns of Bedouins.
Leftist religion is based on a warped view of Christianity with Christ which is why there is no forgiveness in them nor pity or mercy. Heretics to them are disposable non people.
You see the same issues in the early Puritan colonies and back in Merrie Olde England to the extent that even Cromwell had to brush back those that wanted to go full leftist for their time (Levelers).
There is also why the Amish, Hutterites, and Mennonites are so peaceable, they are farming survivors where their most radical brethren were slaughter in Munster. Lutheran and Catholic princes united in Germany to stamp out those proto marxist leftists (community property and polygamy make for a weird mix).

Unfunny Anti-Childbirth Hag Chelsea Handler Gets Destroyed at Netflix Roast of Kevin Hart
Ooof. "Speaking of dead kids, she's a big fan of abortions. She's been scraped more times than the grill at Benihana's."
These don't all seem in good fun. Lizzo also get some abuse from Tony Hinchcliffe. She seems to roll with the punches pretty well. Though that might mostly be due to physiognomy. Content warning, particularly for the Tony Hinchcliffe.🇺🇸🇵🇸 Shane Gillis at the Netflix Roast of Kevin Hart calls out Chelsea Handler for being a ZIonist Epstein associate:

Elected Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht Switches from Democrat to Independent
From his statement:
"From 1998 to 2001, years that preceded my judicial career, I served as Vice-Chair of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. In the quarter century that has passed since then, the Democratic Party has changed. Nazi tattoos, jihadist chants, intimidation and attacks at synagogues, and other hateful anti-Jewish invective and actions are minimized, ignored, and even coddled. Acquiescence to Jew-hatred is now disturbingly common among activists, leaders and even many elected officials in the Democratic Party."

Not a cat - domestic cats might have been uncommon in ancient italy.
Wiki
Poena cullei under Roman law was a type of death penalty imposed on a subject who had been found guilty of parricide. The punishment consisted of being sewn up in a leather sack, with an assortment of live animals including a dog, snake, monkey, and a chicken or rooster, and then being thrown into water.
---------------------
I remember a fiction novel giving the exact religious meaning behind the list of animals. The sack was a reference to returning you to the mothers womb as such an unnatural a son and the water was to avoid you being accepted into mother earth.

Chelsea Handler is a liberal Zionist, Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Can we please stop normalising her? She is hateful AF. Didn’t she have dinner at Jeffrey Epstein‘s house?
I’m not praising this Zionist even when she says something true or a little funny
Her introduction was way funnier than her set lol she never recovered that Zionist joke.
I am tired of rich people "roasting" each other with pre approved, manufactured jokes to produce cheap outrage and clicks. It normalizes these sociopaths by giving them a plattform where they can act like they are a good sport. We saw where this led when Jimmy Fallon had Trump on before the election
Aw poor tony cant take a joke. Fuck all these guys and their heavy handed involvement in progressing Fascism in the US
Tony isn't funny, he did NOT do the ridyah fest, so the joke was a little off

I saw Scorsese talk about "Goodfellas" once and he said he was trying to capture the feeling of the Ratpack, and how they "owned the town" in Vegas. (He said Ocean's Eleven was an inspiration) (This was at an introduction to a film series at the Met complex in the 90s.)
Those roasts were like that -- they were a bunch of talent all having a blast. Yeah, some of it was contrived and most was scripted, but it was fun because you felt like you were let into their world. Or at least bits of their Vegas act. Same with the old Johnny Carson, where guests would "pop in" and talk about things and it felt like a gab session and not a sales pitch for their next "project."
All that is missing. I think these people all hate each other, and they sit on a stage, set apart, and give their "reactions" to get camera time. Such a decadent culture. This is not fun, it is programmed.

Zombie's Law Of Political Conservation Of Craziness
>> 185 The reason that Democrats look crazier and crazier every day is because there are fewer and fewer of them every day.
>> There is a certain set amount of craziness in any political movement, but if it has huge number os adherents, the craziness get diluted to such a degree that you barely notice it. And the movement loses members, the amountt of craziness nonetheless remains constant, so the craziness gets concentrated in fewer and fewer people. Eventually there will just be a handful of Democrats, hut tey will all be like the Weather Underground or the Red Army Faction, glassy-eyed hyper-communist lunatics plotting terrorism and mass murder for reasons they themselves don't even understand anymore.

NPR (May 5th): Minneapolis grapples with the impact of Trump's largest immigration crackdown yet. Three months ago...agents arrested thousands of undocumented immigrants, in what the Border Patrol commander then in charge there, Gregory Bovino, called a "turn and burn" strategy. Agents also threatened journalists and activists documenting the arrests, and shot and killed two U.S. citizens
Today, Minneapolis looks different. The crackdown has receded, and arrests of immigrants have dropped 12%...But the surge left a mark that enforcement statistics can't capture, including a hollowed-out local economy that immigrants and their neighbors say they are struggling to rebuild.
"We were left traumatized," said Y, a woman who asked NPR to identify her by her middle initial because she worries speaking out will affect her ongoing immigration case.
Together, their stories map what the crackdown left behind: shuttered restaurants, households rationing groceries, mounting debt, mental health woes and, for some, a serious reckoning with whether to leave the United States to return to their home countries.

You may be correct, but I am really troubled by what seems to me like an instant and explosive growth in tossing the term around like it's nothing and all decent folks need to hate Zionists. I recently had two people that I thought were solid conservatives turn the hate up on Zionists. I was shocked. Maybe I am too old, but until very recently, Jew hatred (that's what it really is) just was not done in America. Maybe AI is encouraging hatred. I don't know. I have a bad feeling about this.

What exactly is a (an evil) Zionist? The term is tossed around like "Nazi" these days but never defined. Does being anti-zionist mean that one believes all Jews should be booted from (sacred) Palestine? The Jews that refuse to leave should be forcibly removed and put in camps?
I suppose the best current definition of Zionist is someone to be looked down on. Anti-zionists are cool! AmIright?

Antisemites know that it's still not socially acceptable to expose their true "Kill all the Joos" sentiments. So they equivocate. "I don't want to kill ALL the Joos, just the apartheid Zionists". Much more appropriate in polite company.

TX school enrollment has declined by 76k.
Despite massive population growth.
Three main factors they list: "declining birth rates, shifting migration patterns and increased competition from private schools and home schooling."
Guess which one they focus their attack on as the key factor?
Yup. Charter schools.
Which they note, increased enrollment by 2.4%, while the schools lost 1.7%.
But, hilarious "shifting migration patterns."

I had a tutoring gig on Sunday (scheduled it before I knew it was MD), so we had an early MD brunch on Friday at a restaurant called "First Watch" (highly recommended). Our son came over in the late afternoon yesterday and we all enjoyed takeout from Noodles & Company.
And I loaded my wife up on chocolate for her MD present. She's going through a bad patch at work right now, but chocolate always seems to cheer her up. So chocolate it was.

Red states need to push a republican form of governance for their blue cites:
The entire state gets to vote for the mayor of the city.
And maybe a majority of the city council.
Because it is not at all fair that these cities are little blue fiefdoms free from any management by the rest of the state who must suffer their misrule.
IF your taxes go to the city, you should have a voice in how it's run.
Even sales tax.

I was chatting with him yesterday and he told me he's been on a liver cleanse. I'm already extremely suspicious of cleanses, but I'm holding my tongue. He says phase I just ended, and now he's on to phase II. Phase II involves ingesting Turpentine.
Alright, tongue holding time over. I look at him quizically and ask him, "Turpentine?" "Yes," he says. I immediately get on google and am looking for Turpentine toxicity concentration and other similar information. He assures me he's going to only take half a tablespoon per day and it's "pure" Turpentine, distilled from pine resin.
I tell him a fatal dose is somewhere around 8 to 12 tablespoons. I see it's a gastrointestinal irritant, a CNS depressant, and can cause pneumonitis if aspirated.
I tell him this. He tells me he trusts Dr Andrew Kaufmann. I ask him if he's sure he's not being pranked. Andy Kaufmann? Really? Like the comedian? He says no. I look this guy up. Apparently he's a real MD, but I'm skeptical. He tells me he'll text me later today, or maybe not.

Keir Starmer Vows to Remain in Office for Ten Years, Double Downs on Endless Illegal Immigration, Calls Immigration Reformers "Dangerous" and Warns They Are Taking the UK Down a "Dark Path"
Keir Starmer: I want 10 years in No 10 and will fight my challengersOh great, more Migrant Youths. Just what the UK voters were hoping for!
The prime minister sets out his project of 'renewal', which includes a scheme to open up Europe for young people, admits Labour needs to act on its election drubbing, and questions donations to Reform and Nigel Farage
Keir Starmer has said he wants a decade in Downing Street and will fight anyone who challenges him for the Labour leadership. The prime minister described his government as a "10-year project of renewal". Asked whether he would definitely lead his party into the next general election and serve a full second term, he said: "Yes, I will." ...
In his interview, Starmer also pledged to put Europe at the heart of his premiership. He revealed that the government is close to agreeing the terms of a youth mobility scheme with the European Union.
Note that Queer Starmer pretended to favor Brexit in order to Con the Conservative Rubes -- pissed off by the "Conservatives'" unwillingness to ever honor the "exit" part of Brexit -- into voting for him. Three Labour MPs have resigned and 55 Labour MPs have called for Starmer's resignation or at least a timeline for his departure. He's refusing.
Under the plan, which is expected to be up and running by 2027, Britons under 30 will be able to live or work in the EU. Young Europeans will also be allowed to come to the UK, with the number capped at "tens of thousands" a year. The new "youth experience visa" is set to give 18 to 30-year-olds the right to base themselves abroad for two to three years. ... But the prime minister said a deal would be unveiled before the summer. "Brexit has held back our young people," he said. "They should be free to work, study, travel in European countries, just as I was able to when I was growing up. That has been snatched away from young people because of Brexit. I'm not going to let Brexit stand in the way of their opportunities."
.. But the Labour leader was defiant in response to calls for him to quit and made clear he would not stand aside if MPs triggered a leadership contest. "I'm not going to walk away from the job I was elected to do in July 2024," he said. "I'm not going to plunge the country into chaos."Starmer is also vowing that the Fake Conservative Party plunged the UK into "chaos" by repeatedly tossing out unpopular PMs, and says that Labour must not do that. That is, Labour must keep him and his Sketch Foreign Male Model Entaglements at No. 10 Dowining Street. Ministerial aides are resigning to pressure him to resign:
That was followed by a near constant soundtrack of Labour MPs, one after another, publicly calling for him to go, sooner or later. And by teatime, the most significant of those - the resignation of ministerial aides, from the lowest rung of the government - saying they too had lost faith in their leader. One of them, Joe Morris, was the parliamentary private secretary to Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary not short of prime ministerial ambition. What might Streeting do next? ...Starmer insists he must remain PM to safeguard the "diverse" country Labour (and the treacherous Tories) have created, against the wishes of native Britons.
Naushabah Khan says she has resigned as parliamentary private secretary (PPS) to the Cabinet Office as she calls for new Labour leadership. Khan, who is MP for Gillingham and Rainham, says she has always put her constituents interests first, and that is why she has made the "difficult decision to resign". "We need a clear change of direction now and no game playing," she says, adding that a Labour government "can and will rise to meet the moment if we act now". "I am calling for new leadership, so that we can rebuild trust and deliver the better future that the British people voted for," she writes.
Starmer 'no longer has trust of the public,' says ministerial aide Joe ...
As Labour MPs call for Starmer to go, there is a feeling of momentum that the pace is quickening, that more and more names are being made public. There is plenty of talk here tonight that there is plenty more to follow. So, 55 Labour MPs and counting saying the prime minister should go or set a timetable to go. If that number continues to remorselessly tick up, as it has been doing in the last few minutes and hours, it won't be sustainable in all likelihood. There will be demands for the prime minister to say something, do something and respond to a party that increasingly is in open revolt.
And like clock work, Starmer deploys the same strategy that has been the fundamental cause of Labour's downfall from the start. He blames the British public for noticing their country turning into something unrecognisable. He says "I don't think that's British" to question "this… pic.twitter.com/b20Xi7zGYG

A leadership vote would probably be total chaos between Islamists, wannabe Greens, old-school Labour, and feminists.
It's why there's no effort to do it.
It's much more likely that a couple subgroups of Labour decide that it's better to align with the CP on a no confidence vote than it is to fail at a leadership vote that could go to another faction.
Hence...inertia.

If immigration were reversed Britain would become more like it was in say the 1990s. Is that...a dark time?
And that's the "extreme" example, realistically some minor protections on immigration still leave the country with millions of immigrants and an increasing percentage of them.

There could be an intra party leadership vote.
But I seriously doubt that the massive majority that Labour has can be corralled effectively around a single candidate. Their bench apparently is awful.
And Starmer made some personnel move (promoting the woman or orchestrated Boris Johnson's downfall) like he's going to fight to keep his position.

We shall welcome them with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall surrender our Island, whatever the cost may be,
We shall welcome them on the beaches,
We shall welcome them on the landing grounds,
We shall welcome them in the fields and in the streets,
We shall welcome them in the hills;
We shall always surrender.

Here's an outlandish theory for you to chew and, likely, spit out. What if a rogue Islamic nation was able to secure a Dirty Bomb (or a biological agent) and place it within a country like the UK. Their demands are simply to allow unchecked immigration. A "silent" invasion. Hell, the Muslims not only recognize the concept. They named it, aspire to it and strategized it. Hijrah (or Hijra).

The government is clearly unsuccessfully trying to create a more inclusive British identity. We’re so fragmented I think we should commend efforts to actually try make minorities proud to be in and of the UK. Why are migrants criticised for not integrating but then efforts to create a more inclusive identity are also criticised? Do we want to stay angry and divided?
I’d also ask the labor messaging critique in reverse- why does every Reform communication have to mention immigration?
Holy shit, his speech was bad. "We done everything right, people just dont understand that". He wasn't speaking to the country he was speaking to the party. Like am sure that's what he needs to do to save his skin. But it just shows how much he doesn't fucking care.
The reason he’s so hated is because he is a terrible public speaker. Can’t go 2 seconds without staring at a script, can’t speak without scripted lines, stutters more than he talks and has an annoying nasal voice.

There was some Xeet written by someone who said he had heard from an English diplomat the story.
Brexit put Britain on a path towards independent trade deals. Trump was working on a good with with England, but never finished it before 2020. With Biden in office, the EU went to England and demanded pretty much complete capitulation to take in every immigrant France allowed to put on a dinghy.
And England accepted.

England sounds like an awful place for immigrants since the locals will just hound them and probably kill them for having such wonderful ethnic foods.

The problem is when you analyze it as "Why would Britain allow something like this?"
That's not the right framework - Starmer is not Britain and doesn't give a shit about Britain.
Starmer expects money and power by keeping immigration open. Its that simple. If it is bad for Britain he does not care.

Terrible script, bad casting, amateur-hour direction. Don't get me started on Justice Smith. He's terrible. How does this guy get work in movies?
The entire point of the movie seemed to be to insult white people as murderous racists. But the filmmakers were so stupid that they also ended up insulting blacks. They portray blacks as emotional support animals for whites -- little more than slaves.
I assume this crime against nature was greenlit in the wake of BLM hysteria, when money was thrown at anything "black."
The idea of the "magical negro" has some promise. In the hands of much better filmmakers, it could have been made funnier and more lighthearted. People like Mel Brooks and the Wayans can be offensive and funny at the same time. But ASoMN is deadly serious that magical negroes need to exist or else whites would literally murder all blacks.

Correct. And you-know-who (me) warned people here this was coming back when we were still crying about trannies. Remember those?
The problem for the white globalists is generally thus - they think the brown people are easily hornswaggled. The brown people however are more bloodthirsty than the bloodthirsty Left could ever fathom.
And both groups think that together they can roll over Christians who will remain too afraid to do or say very much about any of it. But mark this - however much the two misunderstand each other, the underestimating of Christians and in particular their faith will turn out to be the gravest miscalculation in world history.

You'd think that this bold in your face Denial of our Precious Democracy(TM) would generate speculation and investigation as to why this is the case in the West (and nowhere else). No discussion was had with the electorate, there was no debate or an electoral campaign issue in favor of bringing masses of 3rd world men into the country, it just appeared as policy. Now there is discussion in these opinion pages, but not on the policy and how it came to be, but whether the rise of these nationalist/nativist parties is due to racism, islamophobia, misogyny, white supremacy or all of the above, and they are therefore illegitimate. No one is sticking there neck out to debate whether this is good policy or not.

The irony is that I am less conceited in my over 29 years and KNOW I could do a better job leading a freakin country than most people sitting in those chairs at the present.

Yes. The 1960s-80s in Europe were the dress rehearsal for what we're seeing now. Back then it was all Communist terrorists making common cause with Islamic ones. They operated closely, and the whites funneled them gouts of Doviet cash and helped train them.
They never gave an inch to the Communists in return. They simply continued on with their religious mission well beyond the time the Communists in Europe outgrew college theatrics and entered the institutions, and then retired to spend more time with their foie gras.
The Muslims took the measure of their erstwhile comrades then, and now they're acting on that assessment.

This is a man who has his pjs pressed daily, has a very specific length in which toothpaste must be put on his toothbrush, and probably couldn’t find the kitchen in any of his homes if his life depended on it, let alone cook a meal for himself.

It's amazing how clearly voters want a true conservative party, and yet somehow always get cucked. They voted in the Torries and voted for Brexit, but neither delivered. They're voting now for Reform, which has been a massive disappointment and hasn't/won't deliver, which is why Restore is gaining traction.
The Left gets it a bit, too, but when people get a taste of their "next step" (commies or greens in power), everything goes to shit and people go back to the more moderate Leftists.

The commies worldwide may be a bunch of backstabbing cocksuckers but at least they can field an army that is capable of winning a war, as long as you don't mind horrific casualties and getting logistics support from those evil running dog capitalists.
Arabs and mohammedans do really well against kneeling, unarmed and bound infidels, but they'd do better if they spent more time and effort into training than they do in chanting Allah Snackbar like meth-addled Rhesus monkeys at the zoo whenever someone lights off a rocket or demo charge.

I think he is extremely insulated from it. Extremely. Interestingly enough, Wills was asked about this and the frustration felt by people actually from the UK, and Wills responded that he would need to learn more, he but he would understand why people would be frustrated by services meant for British citizens not being given to them but to those who are not citizens. He was actually shockingly firm about it. I don’t know if anything came of it, though. He probably got smacked or something for speaking out of school.
Anyway, it makes me wonder if he becomes less pomp and more circumstance, would he be willing to do something more than his father? The Queen was more concerned about being seen as meddling. If the people were supportive, William and his temper may be the ones to do it. Keeping in mind British conservatives and US conservatives aren’t even on the same ballpark.

This reminds me of something I was thinking on - the remaining conservative mp’s (Tories) really need to think hard about whether they should switch parties and join up with Reform. They got their clock cleaned in this election as well, and if any of them want to stay in government this looks to be their only real option. Easier move for them than for any Labour MP’s.

Virginia Democrats Seethe and Scheme to Mass-Fire All Seven Supreme Court Justices to Replace Them With Compliant Communist Operatives, but Senate Leader Says It's No-Go
Jonathan TurleyThey're all about Saving Democracy. Didn't you know that, racists?
@JonathanTurley May 10 The gut-and-pack scheme is brutally cynical. The Virginia Supreme Court described the earlier gambit as "a story of the tail wagging the dog that has no tail." Now, Democrats would just shoot the dog and adopt a politically modified dog bred to serve.
Let us violate the clear wording of our state constitution or else we will take the also-unconstitutional step of declaring 54-year-olds to be too elderly to work.
RedState reported Sunday on the sheer desperation that has set in among Democrats at the state and congressional levels after the Virginia Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the process state Democrats used to put their gerrymander referendum on the ballot was a violation of Virginia's Constitution. ... Perhaps the most extreme of the measures that, per The New York Times, were being considered during a meeting Saturday that included House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-0
The timing issue is that all changes to congressional voting must be finalized by May 12 -- tomorrow. So they would have to implement this unconstitutional mass-firing, stock the court with seven compliant communists, reconsider the previous ruling, and issue a new communist ruling in 24 hours. Even attempting to fire the judges by this method seems to violate the constitution:
Unfortunately for Democrats, the brakes have been slammed on the various plots they were cooking up by none other than Virginia State Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell (D-Fairfax), according to reporting from the Virginia Scope's Brandon Jarvis:
It is not happening Surovell, the top Democrat in the state Senate, told Virginia Scope Monday morning that these drastic measures will not be taken. Surovell said that the time restrictions at the Department of Elections make the notion impractical. He also said forcing the retirement of Supreme Court justices would be extreme, and he wants to work within the existing legal system when fighting against Republicans. Speaker of the House Don Scott, D-Portsmouth, has not responded to a request for comment.
Ed Whelan
@EdWhelanEPPC The Virginia constitution provides one means for removing judges: impeachment by the House of Delegates, followed by conviction by 2/3 of the Senate. The idea that the Virginia legislature could remove state supreme court justices by lowering the mandatory retirement age and applying that lower retirement age to *existing* justices is bonkers. And a majority (perhaps all) of the Virginia supreme court justices would rule that such a measure violates the state constitution.
In a court filing on April 23, Virginia Commissioner of Elections Steven Koski wrote that any changes to the district maps would have to happen before May 12, which is this Tuesday, in order for the Dept. of Elections to be able to have time to prepare for midterms. pic.twitter.com/oGKhFyofgq

@EricLDaugh 3h 🚨 JUST IN: Legal expert Jonathan Turley GOES OFF on Democrats for considering *firing* the entire Virginia Supreme Court to reinstate the 10D-1R gerrymander map "They will pack SCOTUS AS WELL if they take power!" "Hakeem Jeffries is very unpopular...but hopes to be the next Speaker. But to do that, he's got to engineer a MAJORITY." "He's watching that evaporate across the country!" "It captures the fact that now many on the left are saying that we will win by any means necessary." "The public needs to understand that many of these same voices have been saying publicly that they will pack the Supreme Court as well. As soon as they take power, many Democratic pundits and politicians have said that they want to pack the Supreme Court to create an instant liberal majority." "It's the same mindset of by any means necessary. No institution, no value is truly sacred."

Such radical proposals are being rationalized with open disinformation. Pundits regularly fail to mention that the Democrats previously gerrymandered states such as Illinois, Massachusetts and New York while claiming the right to win by any means necessary. Others just deny reality. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., lashed out at the Virginia Supreme Court and demanded to know why they waited so long to rule on whether there were fundamental flaws in the Democratic plan. Kaine either never read the opinion or sought to mislead voters. The opinion has an entire section on the timing, noting that it was the Democrats and the commonwealth that demanded that the court wait to rule on the merits until after the election. After "successfully" seeking that delay, they are now accusing the court of something untoward in doing what they demanded.

Charges are incoming on Dems for voter fraud, financial fraud, and immigration fraud. Holding the House and stuffing up US government finances is the only card they have. Imagine endless government shutdown to cause financial havoc and the US to have a bond crisis.
That is why they want the House so badly. 2028 is for all the marbles due to Census, blue state financial implosions pending, mass financial fraud to buy votes, and mass deportations of their prospective voting base.

Republicans could potentially have 19 redistricted seats this coming election. 😭 Our only hope is they spread their margins too thin for their unpopularity. It's pretty unlikely though, the house is cooked
Democrats should ignore the ruling and continue. Don't go "high" when they go "low" its time to STOP playing nice. Republicans without holding any VOTE is Gerrymandering to the max but when people on the Democrat side do VOTE, it is deemed illegal lmao.
The decision is just an overly technical excuse for ignoring the will of the people. The justices badly misjudged their roles. State constitutions are supposed to embody the will of the people. Using a questionable interpretation of an ambiguous term to use it to block the will of the people is IMHO malpractice. I’m fine with chucking the lot of them and starting from fresh
Expecting a state that had a republican Governor and is 48% Republican to act aggressively here is silly.

Because the math is brutal. Here's the math:
At the very best, an impossible D +8 election, there are 18 seats that may flip.
But, that was before the Southern redistricting of the last few weeks; and on-going.
2024 was a wave election. Any time before 2012, if you'd said "the Republican will sweep all swing states" you'd expect 20-40 House seats to flip with him.
Rs flipped 8 seats.
Only 4 of those were by less than 2%; the rest were 10+; they ain't flipping back. (All incumbents are running for re-election, btw)
They were able to do that because--in blue states--they have so precisely districted that Rs are completely, totally confined in districts that can't be flipped.
And blue ones are (mostly) equally safe.
They absolutely had to have those VA seats. Plus the illegal seats in the South.
Just to get close to flipping the House.

A law that was brought in under Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to give all candidates an equal chance at the ballot is now being contested.
In California, the primaries — dubbed the “jungle primaries” — work in a way where the two candidates, regardless of party, who secure the top two positions in the June primary advance to the general election.
Now, a newly filed application is aiming to change that.
Political consultant Steve Maviglio filed a petition with state officials last week seeking a return to the pre-2010 traditional primary system, where separate primaries are held for each party and two candidates — one Republican and one Democrat — advance to the general election.

In a Democratic stronghold where nearly 50% of registered voters are Democrats, compared to roughly 25% combined independents and Republicans, the current system has long been viewed as favoring Democrats in statewide races.

Democrats have gotten lazy after decades of corrupting the courts and owning the media to act as their echo chamber. They don't fight smart, they fight like yelling retards. And now it is all catching up with them.
It takes longer to fight and keep your integrity but it's usually worth it in the end and all they know how to do is the retard part. It's fun to watch.

Nope. Per Canadian Constitution, whole country then gets to vote on it after the Canadian Federal Government "negotiates" a deal with Alberta "in good faith." Will never get a majority of Canadians to approve this. Big. Waste. Of. Time.

I mentioned it earlier, but there is an article out of NYC about how the anti-Trump groups are lamenting their participation has gone from like 60% female to over 80% female.
Of course, the problem is identified as the men are not supporting the women enough.
Not that the women have gone so crazy, they're driving out even liberal men.

If Trump makes a single mistake it will derail him and therefore our entire movement.
Democrats can make as many "mistakes" as they want because the most they have gotten for 50 years is some rolled up sleeves and "I am going to claim my time"s.

If Alberta votes to go it alone, the default assumption is that Ottawa will not negotiate in good faith, so the answer is unilateral declaration of independence. Did the Thirteen Colonies negotiate independence from Britain?

They've made a lot of mistakes. They just have a media that covers up for them.
The reason they are freaking out so hard right now is redistricting is an enormous blow to their power. They thought they would have their race based districts forever and for decades Republican refused to gerrymander as they did. Al that is gone now.
And if the new census goes the way it shoud it could be a very long walk in the wilderness for them and they know it.

“The vivid blue coating will fundamentally alter the visual and experiential character of the pool and the broader Lincoln Memorial Grounds landscape,” the group said in a complaint.
“The new coloration will cause the pool to resemble a large swimming pool rather than the reflective civic landscape it was designed to be, distorting the experience of the site for the millions of visitors who come to it each year,” the complaint said.
This is the same nonprofit group that sued to stop the construction of President Trump’s privately-funded White House Ballroom.

Because men are moving right slowly whilst women have hurled themselves off the leftist cliff, so the political distance between them is Paolo size.

@realDonaldTrump
Palestinian Chuck Schumer is hiring Eric Holder, famous for handing guns to Mexican cartels under the Barack Hussein Obama administration, as part of a Democrat-led "Election Integrity Group" that will no doubt try to suppress Republican voters, and interfere in our Elections. Furthermore, Marc Elias, a terrible lawyer with a horrible track record, is also involved. This is the same disgusting individual who was responsible for the fake Russia dossier from a foreign nation to meddle in the 2016 Election, which I won in historic fashion. The Democrats are totally unhinged and we will not allow them to threaten the integrity of our Elections.

I would be willing to bet that if AB votes for independence and says YES:

2) Premier Smith is immediately arrested
3) RCMP goes on the warpath in the province
PM Carney is a technocrat and he does not like being told “no”. I can see him doing all that. Hell, he doesn’t even like being in Commons to face PMQs. But, I’d like to see Carney try those things, then suddenly the US recognizes AB independence.

That seems like it would be 'unconstitutional' based on city charters but I assume something about the state's aid to cities for municipal projects allows it.

1) all bank accounts in AB get frozen
2) Premier Smith is immediately arrested
3) RCMP goes on the warpath in the province
PM Carney is a technocrat and he does not like being told “no”. I can see him doing all that. Hell, he doesn’t even like being in Commons to face PMQs. But, I’d like to see Carney try those things, then suddenly the US recognizes AB independence.
Posted by: Cow Demon at May 11, 2026 02:16 PM (nUR++)
1) good point. I should move my accounts from the Big National Bank to a credit union in Alberta.
2)that would trigger a shooting war.
3)half the RCMP I see anymore are visibly "ethnic", and/or petite women. If they make themselves into targets, they won't be very effective.

Because like virtually every other Alaska political dynasty (there's at least three) Daddy Meerkatski had enough room in his ass for both the oil companies and the injun tribes to stick their hands up there and turn him into a sock puppet. And when Daddy gave his little princess her very own Senator Snow Barbie seat, she also got his Rolodex.

The midterm was their chance to at least grab one of the houses to make the GOPs job in 2028 more formidable. They need to do anything, anything, to stop a legit census in 2030.
If Trump brings the Iran situation down to a murmur - no matter how long it takes for the final resolution - the economy looks poised for sustained growth which means Senate seats for the dems are now in real danger. They need anything, and I mean anything, to stop the current trajectory, because each day the money spigots that finance the party become slower.
They are looking at real money. And if it dries up enough, the blue stranglehold on the big blue urban hellzones also comes to an end.

1) retake the House and Senate. use this perch to thoroughly discredit republicans, so that they can
2) retake the Presidency in 2028, and then
3) pack the Supreme Court with progressive democrats, and
4) gut the Electoral College in favor of a national vote
5) all of which are necessary for them to retain power before the 2030 Census consigns them to the dustbin of politics.

Tragically, Republicans self-destructing isn't even guaranteed, and they know it. 1) our electoral system is an anti-democratic farce, 2) you should never, ever, ever underestimate the Democratic Party's ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
This headline assumes they want to save themselves from Trump. They don't. Many agree with all of this, many salivate at the idea of a Project 2025 christofascist hellhole, many want power above all else.
"If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed... and we will deserve it" - Lindsay Graham, noted sadomasochism afficianado.
At this point, I think Republicans are banking on stealing the midterms. They're no longer even trying to appeal to voters. They know Trump is deeply unpopular but they know he's going to do everything possible to stay in power.
Why would they, they are getting everything they ever wanted under Trump. Trump’s batting a thousand for them.

My story might be worse. Had a weird lump in my scrotum. Went in for ultrasound. Lay on exam table, take off pants, cover self with towel as directed. Tech is frumpy 50ish woman...no problem. Then, a super hot young woman comes in. She's a med student and would like to do the exam if that's ok.
Squirts warmed gel/lube on me, repeatedly, and massages my junk for what seemed an eternity, the whole time I'm trying NOT to get aroused and play it cool lol.

6 foot 3 sweedish woman. Looked like a supermodel.
Asked her why someone went into rectal surgery, noting that there were more glamorous dr professions.
Said her mom died of untreatable rectal cancer.
I thanked her for her service.

My 30-something nurse said exactly that to me when she was dropping my line.
I told her the pain was like a 7.5 and she just looked at me. I told her I don't believe in 10s and hold childbirth as the be all/end all. Plus, I got hurt downrange, so my scale is a little skewed.
She said "Honey, I've had stones and delivered my triplets naturally. Stones are worse by orders of magnitude."
Awesome. Thanks.

But the real magic is if illegals are not counted in the 2030 census. Do that and all those left wing rotten boroughs go away - about 40 seats go from default blue to default red...

2) The American system is impervious to fraud. There is no point in even looking for it.

PSA tests are more reliable unless the prostate is grossly enlarged. You don't want to know how I know this.
And btw, most urologists never order sizing ultrasounds for prostates which is necessary to determine proper treatment as not all urinary issues come from an enlarged prostate.
And no, TURP is NOT the gold standard for enlarged prostates--HOLEP is which can also give you biopsy results without the punch for checking for prostate cancer. TURP or other nasty things like radio ablation or even steam REZUM treatment cannot.
If you gotta have enlarged prostate surgery absent total removal, find a surgeon who does HOLEP. Faster recovery time as well and fewer side effects.

They are substituting cheaper ingredients is why.

Speaking of cardboard it still bugs me that Dominoes prints "Recycle this box" on their pizza boxes.
Looks like they didn't get the memo that recycling places reject entire loads of paper for a single pizza box in the bundle.

I honestly don’t understand how Dominos is still around. There are an infinite its number of better options for pizza out there.

This is actually quite likely, since the USN recently did things like run three Destroyers "slow and dumb" down the Hormuz straights to lure out the Iranian fastboats and get targeted by the remaining radars and launchers to target them, and this is not the first time the USN has pulled this sort of stratagem recently.

Where I grew up Domino's was fine. Not amazing but not terrible. Good in a pinch and there was a lot of good pizza around already.
But when I moved several states away and told people I was ordering domino's they looked at me like I had three heads. This is maybe the early 90's. Then I ordered it. It was inedible, like it had been sitting in a dumpster.

MORNING RANT - The War on Labor Expense: There Never Was a Truck Driver Shortage
Those who seek to flood this country with inexpensive, non-citizen labor like to claim that this is necessary due to a shortage of Americans that can or will do the job here in the United States. This has certainly been the case regarding truck drivers.
But there never actually was a truck driver shortage. There has been a shortage of professional truck drivers who will work for the compensation of unskilled labor. Bringing in foreign indentured servants as truck drivers was an awful way to avoid paying market wages for skilled labor. It somehow became an accepted fact in the business community that one of the industries suffering from a labor shortage was truck driving. This was puzzling, because driving a truck has always been a great opportunity for Americans to earn a middle-class wage and provide for their families, without needing to pursue the college route or go to a highly technical trade school. But that is not to minimize the professional skill and training necessary to be an over-the-road truck driver. It requires its own schooling, technical skills, and a professional demeanor to handle the various challenges of a job that is often very stressful. It is the farthest thing from an entry-level job or a position that requires unskilled labor. Unfortunately, there is a growing intolerance of any labor expense in some business circles, which makes cheap foreign labor look attractive. In one of those bizarre, horseshoe-shaped political alliances, the American left is in alignment with those who seek to eliminate career-wage, blue-collar jobs in this country. For the left, it’s due to their animus toward heritage Americans, especially those of the “deplorable” working class. In recent years, while some of us were barely paying attention, our highways suddenly became overrun with untrained, non-English-speaking foreigners who were effectively the property of the Asian “body shops” and the European crime gangs that were trafficking them into the U.S. Fortunately, the Trump administration is cleaning up this mess and targeting non-qualified and non-domiciled CDLs (commercial drivers licenses), as well as the companies that employ and control them. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is doing great work. Paying the market wage for skilled labor among a nation’s citizens is not antithetical to capitalism. Just the opposite. It is a fundamental input into the pricing of goods in a free market. Adam Smith, the “Father of Capitalism” was unambiguous in his contempt for the evil institution of slavery as a means to avoid paying for labor. He also understood the futility of expecting the same labor quality from human chattel compared to the quality of work from free people who willingly trade their labor for compensation in a competitive labor market. The chaos and carnage on our nation’s highways from foreign truck drivers has borne this out. Rather than a shortage of American truck drivers, there will be an abundance of them once the invisible hand of the free market is no longer distorted by the injection of unqualified, foreign labor trafficked into the cabs of America’s big rigs.There is a shortage of professional truck drivers who will work for the compensation of unskilled labor. Bringing in foreign, chattel-labor as truck drivers was an awful workaround to try to undercut the market price of skilled labor.

While I would endorse Jeffrey Carter, who is a friend of mine, irrespective of the quality of his opponent, Jeff is the clear choice in this race. His opponent, Drew Johnson, is a serial candidate who has name recognition from the races he has lost. The Carter campaign has a link discussing various ethical imbroglios involving Mr. Johnson, but all I need to know is that Drew Johnson is a fringe libertarian who admires Thomas Massie. When Mr. Johnson ran for Congress (a race he lost) he promised to provide Massie a 2nd Republican vote when Massie is working to undermine President Trump.
This is from the Nevada Independent, after Drew Johnson unexpectedly won the 2024 GOP nomination for a Nevada congressional seat:
True to libertarian form, [Drew Johnson] said the current members of Congress who impress him the most are Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), two libertarians who frequently find themselves as the lone "no" vote on bills that every other member supports, That skepticism of his own party has frequently extended to Trump. In posts from his now locked personal account on X, Johnson called Trump a "socialist" during the 2016 race, called his presidency an "embarrassment" in 2020 over a federal execution during the lame-duck period and said Joe Biden's 2020 victory was "an endorsement of humanity, restraint & kindness."For Nevadans, Jeffrey Carter is the best candidate to be Nevada’s next Treasurer.

Back in '82, there were LONG stretches of IH-45 between Galveston and Dallas with nothing but farmland. Didn't matter if you were driving in the daylight hours or nighttime. There was nothing to see anyway.
Hardest part was focusing on the white line and not getting hypnotized. CB radio helped a lot back then. Between Houston and Dallas there were many places FM didn't reach and AM 820 out of Ft Worth didn't make it all the way.

And he'd walk through the rates and "real-world" return.
So many of the loads for offer would lose money to the driver in fuel, wear and tear.
He's call up, often to F with them, try and bid them up.
Some would, most would not.
What is crazy is, someone is taking those rates.
So yeah, there never was a truck driver shortage--there is a shortage of drivers who will drive at a loss.
Like construction, trucking got addicted to cheap, imported labor.
And, like construction, have passed those negative costs onto the public.

When I was talking to them yesterday he said something that made me sad: 'I am getting too old to drive a long trip any more.' He would be... 79 this year? He's talking about not being able to drive 12 hours every day across country. He said it so... like he was no good any more. The Man has had a coronary bypass. It just broke my heart.

On that long drive it was typical to recognize fellow travelers that you would pass or get passed by.
One time there was a huge very clean and shiny rig with a big cab that was familiar on the trip and it pulled into the same gas station/island.

He is worried about the cost of fuel and when I suggested something crazy like only doing 8 hour days going out there, he pointed out that meant more motel rooms. He said she was planning to come home this year in October. The fat *types* *deletes*. Well, she has not been home herself in a long time (since Mammaw and Pappaw died in 2012.) So, on the one hand, good, but I am also conflicted that little princess is deigning to grace her parents with her presence.

7.) If for some reason like an illness or travel problem you can't leave by day 30, you and your sponsor will remand you to custody of the State Department to see to your removal
8.) If you don't, the sponsor will be imprisoned for 10 years, and you will be shot upon capture.

Boards and CEOs don’t cross check each other anymore and lack critical thinking skills. No one will ask the other if something is a bad idea or not.
I’m for all sorts of businesses. I know that small businesses are inherently morally superior to evil big business…but there’s room for everybody. In all sorts of companies the right questions are not being asked. In all of them the only people that are hired are people they know. If you are not “networked” and willing to only have transactional friendships, you can starve. (And then companies of all types start to wonder why they suck - no hiring on merit or hiring people who will ask tough questions.)

Founder CEOs are better than following CEOs, family or otherwise. Things usually go bad when the CEO is a mismatch with the needs of a company (the guy running a luxury clothes company may not know what's key to running a mining firm).
CEO compensation though is mostly in equity that vests over time. Employees in startups often have a similar compensation, where if things go great they come out rich and if they don't a bunch of their compensation is worthless.

That drove wages and demand up as an exploding trucking industry sought a smaller pool of drivers. Of course when that happens, a flood of cheaper -- often illegal -- labor will fill the void.
Another bad offshoot of the trucking explosion was shady truck operating companies -- often owned by foreigners -- undercutting the market with cheap prices, which they could afford because they were using cheap labor and cutting corners.
None of this is controversial. Even driver-based advocacy and industry groups acknowledge these facts. The issue is what do we do about it now?

1.) 25 year moratorium on naturalizations
2.) No more green cards, either
3.) No more work visas - work in your own country
4.) No more student visas - educate your own whelps
5.) No more tourism visas - you all hate the living shit out of us, so no need to come here and see our Yankee country
6.) Travel visas are a maximum of 30 days, and must be sponsored by a US citizen with a compelling reason why a foreign devil needs to come here
7.) If for some reason like an illness or travel problem you can't leave by day 30, you and your sponsor will remand you to custody of the State Department to see to your removal
8.) If you don't, the sponsor will be imprisoned for 10 years, and you will be shot upon capture.

I like exit visas. Immigration allowed with severe restrictions (you better have something to offer. No freeloading allowed. If we have massive unemployment you ain’t coming in. Try again in five years.). Tourist visas for 90 days but we check passports coming AND going to make damn sure you leave.

Behind most of our horrible corporate culture is the big three of State Street, Vanguard, and Blackrock. Throw in hedge funds as well. And the CEOs, corporate finance, etc. take their cues from them. And that means DEI, net Zero, cheap imported labor, and open borders where US jobs are exported abroad.

I would blame consulting more. Investment companies barely provide oversight over the board which barely provides oversight over CEOs. Big consulting firms are the origin and often direct implementers of many ideas.

Unfortunately, ex post facto has long been interpreted as only applying to criminal laws, not civil by Supreme Court. Calder v. Bull (179
. And yes, Justice Paterson was on the Supreme Court and he was also at the Constitutional Convention as a delegate. Convention used Blackstone as a guide which separated criminal from civil retroactive laws. Interestingly, not true of several state constitutions at the time which DID ban any retroactive law, civil or criminal.

He was quite clear that an oversized worker pool, led to lower wages and a general downturn, which a restricted worker pool led to higher wages and a general upturn.
He also noted how lower labor costs increased profits but effectively reduced the wealth of the employers because of the downturn, while higher labor costs decreased profits but effectively increased the wealth of the employers because of the economic growth.

I think also a lot of it has to do with face. Dudes want to chiseled jawline of their yute.
Ladies, it's more whole body as many women, even though hot, think they are fat. They get the chiseled jawline, which is not attractive on a lady, but they are trying to get rid of all the fat.
There was an old episode of CSI (OG) with Tricia Helfer called 'The Hunger Artist' about a supermodel found dead. They discovered that the facial mutilation and the extreme emaciation was not due to some serial killer but something she had done herself because she thought she was fat. This all reminds me of that episode.

And even the loss is kind of small. It's what 10-20%? These people are taking it thinking they will go from triggly puff to Olivia Wilde.

No. Ours was a fully functional 10 wheel Kenworth. My boss sometimes used it to fetch trailers. I had a CDL in the Army but the state wouldn't recognize it. He knew I knew how to drive so I was allowed to use it around the yard. Always complaining that I wouldn't go the extra step and get it.

The ones by work are six wheeled. But the cab is a singular box. Not even a seat to put your lunch sack in. And they are short. They don't need the long frame. They call them "spotter trucks".

Every Irish pub on the east coast has workers who came to "visit" ten years ago. And that's just one example. We need to severely tighten controls on "visitors."

West coast as well. During my drinking days, I always went to the "Irish" pubs. Every last one of them had Irish hotties behind the bar who overstayed visas, and would openly brag about it.

Agree, but I think the small weight loss is by design. They want to sell this stuff to people who are reasonably fit but want to lose a few pounds. The obese fatties are already on it. Need new markets, new customers.

There was some chick talking about how she lost 260 pounds. The first 200 was calorie balancing with activity. The last 60 she got with GLP1, or whatever, but she stressed that the calorie balancing with activity was still employed to obtain and maintain that last 60 off.

Not mentioned among the stresses are the long separations from family for the OTR drivers. I haven't been a truck driver, but I've worked the oilfields long enough to know that the divorce rate among the oil hands is sky freakin' high. I would bet that it is sky high among the OTR folks, too. Most families do not handle long separations very well at all.

1. Too creepy to hang. The girl seems clearly underage (13 or 14) yet the painting seems to be intended to be sexual. 19th century French were creeps.
2. I made the mistake of googling ‘young girl bathing’ to get more info on the painting. BIG MISTAKE. You don’t want to know what that search pulled. I’m probably now on some pedophile watch list. Fuck.

As to this painting, the young girl is beautifully portrayed: budding body, youthful skin tones, innocent in her pose. At first I thought it was done in pastels the way the vibrant colors make the background and the way the colors blend but it was done in oil, maybe influenced by Renoir's use of pastels.
Any discomfort may say more about our present day reaction than Renoir's audience. I look at it and think it is a tender scene, innocent, something any girl goes through. But I'm an old man looking for sweetness and beauty in the world, not salaciousness.

Hunger.
I was thinking about this the other day and it does not seem to be a thing for girls. When you are 16 as a guy, it is like there is a black hole inside you. Like you are hollowed out. You are riffling through your parents cupboards looking for stuff to eat. I have never experienced that kind of hunger after about 20 or so.

Mom used to pack my brown bag lunch for school. It got to the point where the bag was only filled with 2 ft. long sub sandwiches. I would eat both in 15 minutes most days.
Then, some started offering me $5 for one. Since I didn't get an allowance or spending money, I would sell one.
Then mom found out I was selling them and demanded the money. I stopped getting 2 sandwiches after that.

A man of around 30 is married, with an infant son. A 13 year old girl is hired as a babysitter. The man starts an ongoing sexual relationship with the baby sitter. She "falls' pregnant and scandal erupts. His wife divorces him. The girl's mother insists that he do the right thing and he goes to Kentucky and marries the now 14 year old. They remain married for several years after moving to CO. He is arrested again for having sex with a different 13 year old. Sentenced to 10 years probation. Young wife flees for her life. He absconds on his probation and lives under an assumed name. A few years later he kills my F-I-L and goes on the run, rumored to be living rough in the same area. 18 years ago. I despise pedophiles and would like to hear that this one is dead. The End

I'm guessing that changing the retirement age for Va SC judges requires a constitutional amendment, for which they have to first go through a general election before the amendment can be voted on, and that the same 4-3 split will occur if they try to bypass this rule.

The one that will be "very serious allegations" and "requires Congressional hearings" soon?
Here:
The downed pilots in Iran is a cover-up. The real reason they were shot down was they were part of a failed raid on Ishtar.
This is going to be their new "Russian Collusion!" pitch for the midterms.
And they're going to back-fill every bit of negative news against the US re: Iran into the story to support it.
And even some here will be like, "we at least deserve to know the truth--even if the Dems are lying!!"
Because you can't have a good op without agents of FUD pretending to be on your side ....
If we can, just kinda preemptively tell them to go back to jerking off over "the Epstein files are going to bring down teh world elite!!" and leave the adults alone.

I was thinking about this the other day and it does not seem to be a thing for girls. When you are 16 as a guy, it is like there is a black hole inside you. Like you are hollowed out. You are riffling through your parents cupboards looking for stuff to eat. I have never experienced that kind of hunger after about 20 or so.

Truth.
Check out Big Lou’s Pizza in San Antonio. If I were to go there as a 16-17 year old boy those pizzas would be GONE. And they are upwards of 42 inches in diameter. Had I gone up to The Big Texan at that age I would have killed the 72 oz steak challenge with no problem - then be hungry again an hour later. It was insane.
True story: when 14, before assuming my glorious height now, I went through 18 loaves of bread in one month.

In this case, include 'renoir' in the search terms, but you are still going to get a lot of... questionable content.
This is why for those types of searches (one of the reasons) I always include 'busty' in the search line. It has a tendency both to get the kind of ladies I like, but also filter out (some/most) of the shit.

In this case, getting them off the rat infested ship is probably a good idea. Easier to quarantine as well, you'd think.
Muldoon, my epidemics class is a while ago, but if I am remembering Prof Carmichael correctly, this entire panic is retarded. Hemorrhagic fevers only communicate between people blood to soft tissue. So as long as you do not go kissing rats (and a lot of people) then it will burn itself out.

Auguste Renoir French
1892
The Met, in part: "Pierre Auguste Renoir painted a great many canvases of single bathers in outdoor settings, timeless studies of fulsome young women."
AI Overview: "Fulsome" is a complex, often misused word that generally means excessive, insincere, or overdone, particularly regarding praise or compliments. While sometimes mistakenly used to mean "full" or "abundant," its primary, traditional definitions are negative.
The word should be used with caution, as it most commonly implies that something is cloying, excessive, or insincere.

The Morning Report — 5/ 11/26
Where foreign policy issues are concerned, such as with Iran, a sign of political division always creates a weakness for diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict. This has been underscored not only by Kimmel’s jokes but by the comments of various leaders of the Democrat party, like those of Senator Mark Kelly and former Vice President Kamala Harris. The latter, as a presidential candidate in 2024, said all options were on the table to prevent Iran from becoming nuclear armed—only now to criticize the option Trump selected. Ultimately, it was political division and an uninformed anti-war movement that forced an end to the Vietnam war, leaving millions of Vietnamese subject to communism.And yet, President Trump remains adamant. . .
President Trump on Sunday appeared to reject Iran’s latest proposal in ongoing negotiations over a peace deal, calling the Islamic republic’s offer “totally unacceptable.” “I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘Representatives.’ I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. The president also warned the country against “playing games” after Tehran refused to discuss its nuclear program in its latest response to America’s peace proposal through Pakistani mediators. Trump slammed the rogue Mideast country for delaying negotiations historically, ranting on the social platform. “Iran has been playing games with the United States, and the rest of the World, for 47 years (DELAY, DELAY, DELAY!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.Yet between his mixed signals as well as the treasonous behavior of the Left and their media/culture allies, the Mullahs perceive, and perhaps not mistakenly, that time is on their side. Especially with a crucial midterm election approaching and the final months of President Trump's term that could see his political will and power on the wane as he departs office, with no guarantee that a successor will carry on his agenda should whoever the GOP candidate is come out on top in 2028. If only the President and really the GOP were to treat the Democrat Left and its record of political and physical terrorism against the American people as “totally unacceptable.” Because that is what the Democrats look upon America as founded as well as any setback they endure in the quest for absolute power as.
As night follows day, progressives’ response to the Virginia Supreme Court’s tossing of Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s outrageous gerrymander is to demand an instant court-packing move to undo it.The Democrat party will never "come to its senses." This is akin to expecting Islam to have a reformation wherein it rejects its goal of the domination of humanity for all time. Have a good day!
To lefties driving today’s Democratic Party, it’s not “democracy” unless it’s hard-wired to let them run roughshod — and when their power-grab schemes run afoul of the rule of law, their only answer is a fresh scheme.
Specifically, progs want to ram through a law instantly dropping the retirement age for the Virginia court to 54, which would allow the legislature to replace enough justices to restore the gerrymander.
Spanberger’s already caved to the left in pushing an outrage she’d promised to oppose; will she find the spine to say no now?
Wiser minds would call off the madness — but then again wiser minds would’ve avoided this mess in the first place. ..
Nationwide, even moderate Dems are now talking about seizing their next available chance to pack the US Supreme Court, grant statehood to DC and Puerto Rico simply to gain them four safe Senate seats and abolish the Senate filibuster — and so lock in progressive power forever.
Anyone paying attention should realize these lunatics need to be kept out of power until the party comes to its senses.

So, no matter how weak, disadvantaged, and destitute an enemy may be, all they have to do is keep up the fight, and they'll win by default, sooner or later.
Trump could short circuit this now by saying "we've set their nuclear program back many years, and since the negotiations failed, we'll now make good on our threats, and erase all their infrastructure, setting it back much more. By this time next month, Iran will cease to be a functioning nation state. So break out the cham-pag-nee, because our boys our coming home real soon."

It doesn't get any more lazy rich boy than those ties. That Platner is even a possibility for Senate is ridiculous. I hope the negative news supposedly coming knocks him not just out of the race, but knocks his Cushman partners out of Maine and back to Ottawa.

B/c we're starting 9-10 weeks now...and 2-3 weeks in, after leadership was dead, it was obvious 6 weeks wasn't gonna work.
I agree that Trump was sold that the original decapitation strike and follow on would take 6 weeks (b/c he gave a d$mn stupid speech that this would all be over in "weeks"), so he approved it. I'm sure his folks said that was their best guess, and it could be more, but they sold 6 weeks...

Answer a question with another question - why do that and then have them sit around doing very little
for the next 6 weeks, unless it was just a big bluff that we hoped would pay off?
And now that the bluff has been called , we don’t know what to do next? The blockade is great, but it won’t make the Iranians give in. It’s foolish to think that it will.

SEveral Iranian resistance sources are claiming that more weapons are getting to them. I would highly expect that Special Forces/Special Operation Group, type troops are already there overseeing the distribution.
At most I would think the only U.S. ground forces that would be deployed would be Marine amphibious troops and maybe the 82nd Airborne. all around near the SoH to secure it while the Iranian people do the work of clearing out the mad muzzies.

The main body of Iran does not require invasion, but truly opening the straits absolutely requires amphibious troops to take the islands in the straits that house observation posts and buried missile sites that allow Iran to close the straits to shipping.
The US walked right up to the point where that was the necessary next step, and balked. Now Iran is laughing about it, and this morning is calling for the US to surrender and go home.
And so far Trumps only response is “well maybe I’ll talk to your good friends in Qatar for another month or two.”

GFM von Molte, von Clausewitz, et al were correct on this point.
We are no closer to meeting the mission objectives than we were weeks ago. The Iranians are finding ways to deal with their oil wells. They are rearming with Chinese and Russian weapons coming in on aircraft and via the Caspian. The Iranians have learned to improvise. They’ve had to. It feels like that wasn’t built into the battle plan.
The Iranians know they have two main cards to play. Close down the strait, and hold onto the nuclear material. It’s evident in the negotiations they are holding those cards at the behest of their Chinese and Russian benefactors.
Ultimately we wont lose if the battle restarts. But we have prolonged the timeline and increased the risk factors if we do. YMMV.

Another plan: NULLIFY the redistricting rules!
"They spoke about a collective determination to flip two or three Republican-held seats under the existing map and discussed a bank-shot proposal to redraw the congressional lines anyway."
"The most dramatic idea they discussed, which would be involve the unusual gambit to replace the entire Supreme Court of Virginia with the goal of reinstating their gerrymandered map."
"One key to the plan would be having Democrats in Richmond lower the mandatory retirement age for Supreme Court justices."

Apparently, she was trying to catch a dog who was finishing the course. She's very experienced in field trials and knows how to do it, but in this case the dog slammed into her.
A 100 pound dog hitting you at 25 miles an hour is no joke. Multiple broken bones in the leg and back, concussion and internal bleeding. She was in surgery for six or seven hours. Given her age and frailty before this, it will be a very long time, if ever, before she can even go home.

To be fair CiNC has probably seen the target list for a restart of combat operations. He also realizes (especially after the downed aircraft) there are a lot of risks. If we carry out the next phase it won’t simply destroy the IRGC and military targets, it’s going to make restarting the country harder and have longer term local and global economic impact. There is a lot to consider but IMVHO we should have never stopped and just proceeded until we had complete, unquestioned positive control.

An end to immigration (all immigration)

Probably not very impactful in the short term, and no, it won't get them any of that. These were local-level elections (like our equivalent of City Council or Township Supervisor) It will only be impactful in the long term if it impacts the National Elections in 2029 (in other words, if voting patterns hold until then).

Hantaviruses are a significant and emerging global public health threat, impacting more than 200,000 individuals worldwide each year.
For perspective
200,000 out of !7.5 billion = 0.000027 or 0.0027%

I agree completely, was saying that weeks ago. If we had taken Qeshm before announcing a cease fire the current situation would not be so dire. But we didn’t.
The economic pressure is intense, but we are not facing a democratic or popular government ; we are facing radical terrorists who want to bring about the end of the world. The economic embargo is not bad, but it may take 6 months to have any effect on the regimes control.

Yes, I want to send the marines in to Qeshm and the other strategic points in the Straits. I’ll go so far as to say that unless we do that, Iran will win and this action will go down as one of the greatest foreign policy failures in American history. You don’t start a war and then just walk away when you get bored with it.
And saying “regime change is on the Israelis” is incredibly foolish - they have not a fraction of the power needed to do it. Assassinating leaders is all well and good, but we’ve already taken out most of Iran’s leadership, and every time 1 Mohammed goes down, 5 more jump up to take his place. That is not going to have any effect on the Regime maintaining control.

It a mystery to me only briefly. Then I realized Joos were simply the next-up villain for the Leftists to use. 'Transphobes' was fading as a villain that would drive contributions, along with hatred by the left's base that could be directed at normal American targets like a gun.
Before transphobes the villain was white supremacists. Before that it was racism by every white person. Homophobia. Anti-abortion groups and individuals. And the list goes back for decades.
Attempts to use ICE as the villain, white-christian nationalists, the police, the military, millionaires, AR-15s, and billionaires were/are mixed-in.
Why? Because every propagandist, novelist, playwright, and screenwriter knows a good story needs both a hero and a villain. Victims and their Leftist rescuers are always the heroes in Leftist propaganda.

Last month, the people of Virginia took to the ballot box to fight back against the extreme partisan gerrymanders orchestrated by Donald Trump and MAGA all over America.
Today, in an outrageous outburst of right-wing judicial activism following the Roberts Court’s Callais decision, the Virginia Supreme Court has struck down the will of the voters. But democracy won’t end with right-wingers in black robes. Now is the time to campaign like never before for strong democracy, freedom and progress.
The American people will have the final say in November. Organize!

The IRGC are even worse terrorists than the Mullahs were. They are exact analogues to Sinwar and Hamas in Gaza, and Nasrullah with Hezbollah in Lebanon. They will never surrender, never negotiate honestly, never stop trying to kill all of us - and they care nothing about their own deaths.
You do not negotiate with people like this. Never. You either kill them, or run away. Those are the only two real choices we have.

That's been "the" sticking point with the IRGC/Iran.
This "pause" is more than likely to figure out how to get to the materials, safely, and spirit them away without getting into a huge shooting battle or mishandling the Uranium and making a really bad mess.
The question is likely "how much does the IRGC want in return for the Uranium?" So far, it appears they're in no mood to haggle.
So, we'll back to war soon enough.

They did not start this round - Trump started it by demanding an end to Iran’s nuclear program, and demanding that Iran surrender its enriched uranium. He launched a massive series of airstrikes to achieve those goals, and he was right to do so.
My entire point is that the US can NOT get bored and walk away now, just because it turned out to be harder than we hoped it would be. The goal of obtaining the enriched stockpile of uranium must be achieved.

I just found it amusing that Mr. Enriquez blamed the inevitability of the Texas Caliphate and the presence of evil Muslims on data centers - not the federal government for not suspending 1A and not allowing evil Muslims as much as a tourist visa.

What a Democrat does not say about something is usually much more important than what he does say. Democrats and the Media have made lying by omission a form of art.

This is actually something getting closer and closer to the Overton window.
Most people don't know the census used illegals for the last count.
So you Joe Average get one Represenatives for you and 800K other actual Americans. In CA thought 800k American citizens are getting 3 or 4 Representatives because the other few million people are illegals...
If we fix this the Dems instantly becomes a regional party with maybe 150 House seats in a good year.

A New York Times op-ed argues voters are turned off by climate messaging after decades of failed predictions
For almost the entirety of the half century I have lived on Earth, I have had experts, teachers, politicians and activists hectoring me about how climate change is going to destroy the planet. But this week, in The New York Times, of all places, is evidence that climate alarmism is finally cooling down.
"Democrats Do Not Have To Campaign On Climate Change Anymore," blared the headline, this week, as author Matt Huber argues that voters are rather turned off by the subject. I would like to suggest that this is because it is the single most expensive lie in human history.

My concern about data centers is two fold. One is easily addressed, the other not so much. But I am sure it can be solved by market forces.
1) Power. (But some are looking at being self supporting in that regard, which is fine. People are concerned they will Hoover up vast amounts of power, driving up costs - I get that.)
2) This is part of a bubble that, when it bursts, will leave plenty of worthless real estate lying around. I suspect many of these data centers are being built on the basis of hype and castles in the air (h/t, Malkiel), leaving many to hold the burning bag when it all comes crashing down.

Trump's running a "Kind War".
so, he expects rational deal-making from irrational people.
I believe if the Iranians just give up their nuclear materials...He'd call it a win and go home.
But, that won't bring about armageddon, so they will have to be ground down. Or maybe the populace armed and during the chaos of civil war, the US can just grab the nuclear stuff.

I got married on the north shore in Kawaii. There was a seal sunning itself on the beach near by where we were doing the ceremony. They have crews of people that patrol the beaches and cordon off the area should a seal go onto the beach. I was told back then it was a $10k fine for messing with it.
We were also told it was a blessing that the seal chose that time and that beach to relax.....

Tapes?? No one has been using tapes for many years. Any recordings were done, were done on a digital recording device, which compounds the issue because those recordings can be deleted and/or altered very easily.

I look at the world in terms of mental models, competing explanations with estimated likelihoods. And, one hypothesis I have for the Royal Navy's state is that the UK is in the terminal phase of long-term looting by an insider cabal.
Looking at California's bespoke artisanal cougar/butterfly bridge that is costing $100M+, where other states achieve the same function for $15M, that gives us a baseline of the public budget being 85%+ grift in corrupt states. But the UK is a much older country, so its grifter cliques are more established and have been running harder for a longer time.
I would not even trust their gold reserves to be more than an empty wallet with a moth flying out, no matter what it's supposed to be on paper. And this raises the question of cause and effect: is their navy so bad because they're spending so much on immivader welfare? Or are they supine to their conquerors because their military is so hollowed out by grift that they're literally helpless to even stop lightly armed barbarians?
