UK PM and Effeminate Pussy Keir Starmer Vows He Will "Fiiiiiight" Any Move to Depose Him
Before that: This Effeminate Pussy just reduced the formerly "special relationship" between the UK and the US by announcing that the UK will no longer share "some" intelligence with the US... to protect his communist ally Maduro in Venezuela.
This is a major breach of our alliance.The United Kingdom has suspended some intelligence sharing with the United States, its close ally, over the U.S. military's lethal strikes against alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean, since London thinks the attacks are illegal and does not want to be implicated, multiple outlets reported on Tuesday. The decision to halt intelligence sharing, which took place earlier this fall, highlights the range of skepticism regarding the Trump administration's legal justification for the vessel strikes, which so far have killed at least 76 people. The U.S. garners intelligence from a variety of sources, including the UK, which oversees some territories in the Caribbean and offers information that assists the U.S. in identifying boats suspected of smuggling narcotics in the region. The gathered intelligence is normally delivered to the Joint Interagency Task Force South (JIATFS), based in Key West, Fla., which works on monitoring and detecting suspected illegal trafficking targets and conducting counter-narcotic operations. More than a dozen countries, including close U.S. allies, have liaison officers based at JIATFS, which is led by Coast Guard Rear Adm. Jeff Randall.The British have radar bases and listening stations in the Caribbean. You've seen James Bond movies. They're like all set in the Caribbean. It's kind of stupid. So this isn't nothing. The British are denying us intelligence collected at Jamaica, the Bahamas, etc. If you missed it, Argentina is talking tough again about seizing the Falkland Islands from the British, and this time, I say we side with Argentina. Not that these ponces will care much. They just signed over the nearly-unhinhabited but strategically useful Chagos Islands to Mauritius... which is very friendly with expansionist Red China. These are the islands where the US maintains an absolutely vital base at Diego Garcia. The US will continue to have access to that base, for a while, as the UK negotiated a 99 year lease (on something they formerly owned)... but China will build its own base right next to ours soon enough. (The British negotiated a 24-mile buffer zone around Diego Garcia. Pretty sure a Chinese base 25 miles away would still be a threat.) Back to the headline story: Even the effeminate pussies at the Guardian admit that their ally Keir Starmer is the most unpopular PM in UK history. However, they put a Happy Spin on it.
Yes, Keir Starmer is Britain’m's most unpopular PM ever. That could liberate himAmazing. Hitler similarly felt liberated as the Wehrmacht dissolved. He felt so liberated he decided to YOLO a bullet into his own temple and liberate his cerebral cortex from his brain stem.
Forget the public vitriol and use the next four years to get things done -- first and foremost, whatever it takes to stop ReformSomewhere in Greater Britain, a chicken cries out, "Help! I'm being sexually assaulted!" (That is a real old-school reference.)
... As often, Wes Streeting dares say what all can see: that there is "deep disillusionment in this country at the moment" and "a growing sense of despair about whether anyone is capable of turning this country round". The "change" Labour promised is not yet visible; we still lack a guiding light towards better things to come.Note that name "Wes Streetling" for later.
Well that's a plan. As with Hitler: YOLO it. Remember how Labour got this huge majority: It was emphatically not because the public craved more feckless IngSoc communism and control. Just a few years before, the public handed the "Conservative" party an enormous majority, one of the largest in history. No, Labour only won because the "Conservative" continued allowing hundreds and hundreds of thousands of immigrants, many "boat people" criminals escaping justice in their own home countries, and absolutely would not change this policy no matter how much their own voters demanded it. Their own voters were not yet ready to embrace the "extremism" of Reform, so they choose the path of self-harm -- political cutting -- of voting for Labour to send a message. A message Labour itself didn't get either, though they make insincere claims about wanting to "stop the boats." There was never any desire for a return of IngSoc. People just wanted the boats stopped. Now they have more destructive socialism and more boat criminals. The General Electios won't take place for a while. I think that Guardian scrunt mentioned May. We'll get to the May elections below. But members of Keir Starmer's disaster-party are scheming to depose him before the scheduled party leadership vote. Keir Starmer, the most demasculated man in the world -- even Justin Castreaux at least uses his left-wing effeminancy to smash mish -- vows he will "fight" with every atom of male strength he has, which is three. Three atoms of male strength.
Yet, even so, the current vitriolic state of public opinion is perplexing and alarming. Keir Starmer is the most unpopular prime minister ever.
... As prime minister, he's short on charisma, they say: more seriously, he lacks political agility, ingenuity or instinct for where the wind blows.
... Polling guru John Curtice warns them to stop chasing Reform voters: they've gone. Labour's leader is failing; there's no denying it when pollsters suggest no leader could ever return from these unplumbed depths. ... Unsurprisingly, panic on the back benches will make talk of leadership change rife if May's elections go as badly as predicted -- or, some suggest, sooner. I see aficionados reaching for the Labour party rulebook, reminding one another of a little-noticed but key change made at last year's conference. It's now easier to challenge a sitting leader at any time of year with a nomination backed by 20% of Labour MPs -- currently, 80 of them. Before, a leader was safe except in a brief pre-conference window. ... Here's ministers' paradox: Labour's only hope lies in despair. Assume they will be wiped out whatever, so use this massive majority for four more years to follow their natural social democratic instinct: make radical tax reforms, raising plenty. Expect to lose the next election, so do everything now. Forget opinion polls and focus groups; let voters see sincerity in their purpose. The only way to restore some respect is to do transparently what they think most right and fair.
You know who else went into full bunker mode? I'm not the only one thinking about Hitler. Me and Important Conservative Thought Leader Nick Fuentes have Hitler on our minds.
Allies of the prime minister are making it clear he would fight any challenge to his leadership from Labour MPs. There are fears from those loyal to Sir Keir Starmer that his job might be under immediate threat, perhaps as soon as shortly after the Budget in a fortnight's time. Critics say it is evidence that Downing Street is "in full bunker mode" which "won't help the government out of the hole we're in."
Friends of Sir Keir are deeply worried about what they see as plotting going on to try to replace him and are seeking to make clear what they see as the grave risks of a leadership challenge.You don't want none of this smoke, Friend-O.
Absolutely Shabana Mahmood will deliver on Labour's insincere promise to stop the Islamic Invasion of Britain.
Those names being discussed by Labour MPs as potential candidates to displace Sir Keir include some of his closest cabinet allies, especially Wes Streeting, the health secretary, and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood.
Some also speculate about the ambitions of Ed Miliband, the energy secretary, and backbenchers including the former transport secretary Louise Haigh. The ambition of Streeting is seen with particular suspicion from some loyal to the prime minister. Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Streeting called suggestions he would challenge Sir Keir "self-defeating nonsense", and said he was not standing against the prime minister. Asked if he would ever consider making such a move, he replied: "I cannot see circumstances under which I would do that to our prime minister."LOL. "I cannot foresee the eventualities under which such an ambition would even be contemplated" = "Yes." Circumstances change, don't they, Colonel? Nice Army base you have 'ere. Would be a shame if anything were to 'appen to it.
He said the prime minister should sack the aide who was responsible for the briefing, which he described as "the worst attack on a faithful since Joe Marler was banished in The Traitors final". He added that there was a "toxic culture" in Downing Street that needed to change. ... Opinion polls suggest Sir Keir is deeply unpopular, perhaps even the most unpopular British prime minister in the history of modern opinion polling. Polls also suggest the Labour Party has commanded the support of no more than a fifth of the electorate in recent months. But, a move to replace Sir Keir isn't straightforward. Under Labour's rules, it would take 20% of its MPs to nominate a challenger - 81 given the current size of the parliamentary party in the Commons. For months now, plenty in the Labour Party have acknowledged that the government faces a likely crunch point after devolved elections in Scotland and Wales and local elections in many parts of England next May.Ohhh, parts of the UK outside of England itself will hold elections. Most Scots vote for the socialist, pro-transgender, grievance based Scottish National Party, because at least it also pushes for independence. But for second place, Reform has just moved past Labour in polls. But we're only talking a few seats there, not nearly enough to strip Labour of its huge majority. As for Wales, I think again they mostly support the "nationalist" Welsh party, Plaid Cymru. Plaid Cymru leads with 28%, with Reform close behind at 21%.
The figures for Wales put Plaid Cymru on 28%, with Reform on 21%, the Green Party on 19%, Labour on 15%, the Conservatives on 12% and the Liberal Democrats on 4%. Other parties were at 2%.But again, we are talking about a few seats changing hands here and there. Maybe. Not nearly enough to dent the Labour Majority.
Keir Starmer is widely-acknowledged to be a sad vagina made from soft gray putty, but he wants you to know, he is a very feisty and fighty sad vagina.
Labour is widely expected to do badly in those elections, but there are growing concerns from some in the party that it can't wait until then to contemplate a change of leader. Downing Street is aware of the potential imminence of such a threat to them. One senior Labour MP told us: "It's all very well to say wait for the locals, but that's my activist base I'm sending into the gunfire. I can't lose all my councillors." Another Labour source said: "The list of reasons for people to move after the Budget are growing by the day. "If Wes is brave and moves he may well be rewarded by being prime minister by Christmas." ... The prime minister's supporters are telling Labour MPs they should be careful what they wish for. They argue a leadership contest would plunge the party into the chaos associated with the final years of the Conservative Party's stint in office which came to an end last year, and install a leader who does not have their own mandate from the country. They are trying to convince their colleagues that a contest could destabilise the international markets too, and would jeopardise the good relationship the prime minister has established with President Trump. But others, including some ministers, fret about what they perceive to be the desperate position the government is in. "It's terrible. He [Starmer] is hated out there. It is worse than it got under Corbyn. I don't see how this is sustainable until May," one minister said.
Keir Starmer has backed Wes Streeting and refuted the "completely unacceptable" No 10 leaks amid mounting speculation the prime minister could face a leadership coup. As a civil war erupts at the top of the Labour Party, the health secretary has categorically denied that he is plotting to oust Sir Keir and called for those in Downing Street briefing against him to face the sack.Nah it wasn't categorical. He said he could not foresee the circumstances. That's such a non-categorical non-denial it's essentially a confirmation.
He's totally not thinking of challenging Starmer just like Donkey-Chompers is totally not thinking of primarying Sloppy Schumer.
In a flurry of anonymous late-night briefings, allies of the prime minister came out fighting on his behalf amid fears his job could be under threat after the Budget in two weeks' time.... Speaking during a fiery PMQs, Sir Keir said that "any attack on any member of my Cabinet is completely unacceptable", and insisted that the health secretary is doing a "great job" as he highlighted his record on turning around the NHS.
During his speech at the NHS Providers conference in Manchester Mr Streeting suggested he was not "on manoeuvres". ... Quizzed about a 2024 interview when he expressed his desire to be PM one day. He said: I've got a hard job already, so I'm quite enjoying doing this, and I'm thank you very much." Adding "I'm not going to say anything today that adds to the silly season that is going down."
He doesn't "think it's true" that he's going to challenge Starmer? When will he have more certainty about that estimation? Okay enough of this gay British pageantry. How are you?
"I don't think that's a helpful or constructive thing to say, I also don't think it's true.

The beneficiaries of this genocide are not just the cartels. It is sovereigns like Venezuela and China, both of whom are hostile to the US and our interests. That’s demonstrable and I will debate that point on any given day, and win the argument.
The cartels have been specifically designated DTO’s for a reason. That not only allows us to kill them before they kill my neighbors or their children, it allows a whole range of actions designed to destroy them.
After all, this is war
So now that I’ve drawn that with pictures and in crayon, please tell me why Democrats, Rand Paul and this poofter, defend the cartels, Venezuela and China over American citizens?

"In George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984, IngSoc (English Socialism) is a totalitarian ideology that presents itself as a form of socialism or communism but functions as a tool for absolute state control rather than genuine social or economic equality.
While it borrows the name and some surface-level principles from Marxism-Leninism, Ingsoc is fundamentally distinct in its goals and methods, using authoritarianism, mass surveillance, and psychological manipulation to maintain power."

Back in 1982, I strongly supported the British response to the Argentinian invasion. But that was when Argentina was Fascist and Britain was conservative. Now Argentina is conservative, and Britain is Fascist.
If I were a Falklander, I would be agitating for Falklands to declare independence, and become a protectorate of Argentina, and join Argentina is a customs union.

I've seen it twice. Canada's NDP which propped up Trudeau are down to 7 seats.
And the Conservatives became so unpopular that they went from a majority government to 2 seats.
Unfortunately, even though parties can be nearly wiped out, unless things are horrible, most people will just switch to the closest alternative. It's not often raging liberals or socialists will suddenly see the light.
And since you have more than 2 parties running, votes get split up and you can still be ruled by the same type of corrupt assholes - just under a different name.

I like the headline from the Independent (commie rag fucksticks) that Trump "outed" an Epstein victim--that victim that the Dems are on about in the recent emails.
That's the headline to invoke anger--"attacking a victim!"
But, the "victim" in question is none other than Virginia Giuffre--who was very open and clear that Trump did nothing at all untoward.
Gosh, why oh why did the Dems redact her name from the emails?

And the US very quickly stopped sharing information with GB. Why?
Because they leaked like a sieve to either communists or nazis. Take your pic. Klaus Fuchs for one notable example, was vetted by British intelligence, this was taken at face value, more or less, and was a great blunder at Los Alamos.

I hope we don't have to bail the UK out again. Jacknapes do it to themselves, thinking they are superior to dirty fighting for their culture.
We were in the Cotswalds eating lunch shortly after Trump 1 was elected. There were a group of 5 men who must come daily. Heard our American accents (my Southern), noted how tall and good looking we were. Then one asshole started talking trash about Trump.
I can't speak for my husband, son and DIL, but I heard him. I ignored him til we left and walked by their table. I met his eyes and he melted under my redneck green lasers and looked away quickly. Twit.
It was not like we were there and throwing food or acting rude. We were simply Americans giving their little pub money and enjoying ourselves.

I can understand their appeal now; when the central government is failing and widely hated, a local nationalist party will have great appeal, no matter what their actual politics are. It's significant that Reform is now running second in Wales; both are far above the two traditional parties, Labour and the Tories.

"The ‘unnamed victim’ referenced in these emails is the late Virginia Giuffre, who repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever and ‘couldn’t have been friendlier’ to her in their limited interactions," she said. "The fact remains that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club decades ago for being a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre."

The problem is two fold. They have no guns, or knives, and will be arrested for even a walking stick IF they use it to defend themselves (seriously, that's their law). Secondly, they have so little allowed speech that they can barely scratch the surface of the many evils they face without risking arrest.
We're ONE election away in this country from facing prosecution for free speech. And after seeing how little resistance we gave Covid policy, I'm not sure our guns, knives, and sticks would be used to fight the squelching of free speech here.

Wednesday Morning Rant
Pennies are still legal tender and there are still more than a billion of them in circulation. There is no penny shortage and there probably won't be for quite a while. "Production has ceased" doesn't mean "not available," but some major retailers are moving more or less immediately to do away with the penny. So far, I have seen differences of one to three cents round down, with four-cent remainders rounding up. I have probably seen a net savings of about a quarter in the past couple of weeks on rounding.
Credit card transactions still settle to the (virtual) penny and I know that cash transactions are distinct minority of all transactions, but I strongly suspect that all the rounding adds up. If I have put $0.25 in my pocket in fairly short order, that has to scale out in a pretty meaningful way. If retailers are moving this fast on phasing out the penny, manufacturing costs are probably not the only consideration. The costs of handling pennies must be pretty high, too, if a retailer would rather just write it off at the first possible moment they could get away with it. Pennies may be in circulation and legal tender, but all of this rounding is going to drive them out as it spreads. So far, I've only seen this at a couple of major retailers and one fast food restaurant but it's also very clear that they were primed and ready to put the hammer down on pennies and started rolling it out aggressively. I strongly suspect that it will move out from there and I'll know it's more or less finished when the local diner does it. The US Mint stopped producing pennies, but it didn't kill them. It did, however, apparently provide "air cover" for retailers to do it. The penny will be legal tender forever, but will likely be effectively useless within a year or two. I understand it. Pennies are expensive to manufacture (they have cost more than their face value for nearly two decades) and probably an expensive pain in the butt to deal with at scale, with the costs of managing them far outstripping their value on both fronts. Nonetheless, it's the end of something that has always been there. Those little copper-colored pictures of Lincoln will no longer change hands. Most will be gradually scrapped and recycled, with a non-trivial number remaining in collections, junk drawers and vacuum cleaner bags. In day-to-day commerce, the penny will not be missed. It will, however, become a symbol - loud through its absence - of the ravages of inflation and movement of technology. So long, Abe. At least you still have the five.Comments

Legal tender for all DEBTS, not legal tender for all TRANSACTIONS.
If no debt is incurred, it doesn't apply.
Pump your gas and go in to pay? That's a debt. The gas is in your tank and you owe the store for it. Cash *must* be accepted in that scenario.
Gas station is prepay-only? No debt is incurred, because nothing changed hands prior to payment. The merchant can accept payment on any terms he wishes. He can demand cash, credit, checks, pickled eggs, whatever and it would be just fine.
Things like "cashless venues" (which yeah, I freaking despise) aren't doing anything illegal. You both agreed to the contract terms when you entered (and before any debt could be incurred) and usually there is no debt involved anyway because everything is also rapidly pre-paid. Make your choice, swipe your card, receive your goods. No debt involved.

It's only legal tender for a *debt*. Turns out that makes a difference.
They can refuse to sell you something for cash, but they can't refuse to take cash if you already owe them for something.
If it's the type of restaurant where you get the bill at the end of the meal, a debt has been incurred and they have to take cash, regardless of any signage to the contrary (they can't prove you saw it).
If it's the type of restaurant where you have to pay before getting the food, yeah, they can refuse to take cash. No food changed hands = no debt.

A merchant could say we only take Wampum or Tobacco.

Many years ago, before e-money was a thing, a bank teller in Italy made an account to himself, where he put all the roundings from daily operations. In a short time (maybe a year), he made a fortune. When he was caught, he was fired, but nothing more: he committed no crime, because if he didn't, then the Bank would have taken that money..

As an aside, HPL was friends with Vrest Orton (founder of the Vermont Country Store) and did take trips to Weston, so perhaps he was giving his characters his interpretation of a Vermont accent.

It doesn't make her job easier anymore. If anything, it makes it harder. I've seen it numerous times. They are unaccustomed to getting cash in the first place and the register just spits out the total and they often automatically key in some round number, then have to go fix it. At best, this often takes more time. At worst, it causes a psychological event for the cashier and getting wrong change. I once had a girl at a Wendy's give me wrong change five times in a row. I corrected her each time and told her what the change was supposed to be. It just didn't matter. She was far, far too stupid to handle the register and I eventually gave up when she finally shorted me by a few cents - her smallest error in her own favor of all attempts to that point.

It's risk management. An idle credit card is still an active liability on their books and if you're not using it, you don't need it. The odds are good that if you *do* suddenly use it, it's likely that you're in some sort of high-risk position. Suddenly tapping disused credit is a sign that you're out of money and falling back to emergency positions. There is nothing a creditor hates more than his risk assessment suddenly changing.
So they cancel it.

They'd doubtless like to do so, but there are two things working against it:
1. People freaking hate it, even when they use plastic for most or all transactions. Someplace in Scandinavia tried it a few years ago and even their cowed and compliant populace blew up over it
2. Cash has no value if it cannot repatriate at some point, so it is very hard to use overseas for perfidious purposes if it can't come home to spend. So much nasty business is financed with pallets of hundred dollar bills that this alone helps prevent it.
Most transactions are already traced and logged courtesy of credit cards, checks and retail club memberships and going after the rest is well into diminishing returns territory, especially given the damage it would to financing nasty stuff abroad with US cash money.
It isn't impossible they'll try to go entirely cashless and they certainly really want to do so, but it is not a huge concern of mine.

It hasn’t ever been tested in court, but it is a novel legal concept.
Some lawyers hold that if they refuse the cash payment, the debt is Extinguished. Try that.
Paying in pennies is a Dick move. The courts have generally held that coinage is Legal Tender, but only up to $25, or, they must be rolled. Dumping a garbage can worth of pennies on the counter isn’t appreciated.
And they will seek their revenge.
Taxing authorities MUST take cash. That’s what LEGAL TENDER is all about. There would be zero demand for pieces of paper with dead guys on it, they are forcing you to take it, the motherfuckers have to take it back in kind.

My credit card company has declined every transaction in the past three weeks ago, suspecting fraud. I called to put a travel alert on the account when I reserved a hotel. They then declined a small transaction at home, so I rang about that. While on the phone, I confirmed the travel alert. Nope, no alert on here, you need to call the other number. So I spent over an hour going back and forth on Monday. Okay, you’re all set. But the card was declined at the hotel, and I got a fraud call an hour later and spent 20 minutes in an international call with a non-US rep who didn’t understand that 11/11 was a federal holiday and she wasn’t going to get through to anyone at my credit union but insisted on trying anyway. I’m going to cut up the card at the CU in front of everyone when I get home.

The biggest problem with getting $1 coins into circulation is that the organization which promotes the use and circulation of $1 coins does so by encouraging people to petition their elected officials to make people use them instead of just... buying bags of $1 coins and using them to pay for things.

Used to be, when I passed through Nevada, I might stop at a casino for the cheap buffet, and drop a pocketful of coins into the slots. Now they demand I get a "players club" card from the cashier, and the slots run on that. No more happy jangle of coins spewing out into a cast aluminum bucket.
Well, fuck 'em. If I have make a determined effort to gamble, even for a trivial amount, it ain't happening. If I can transit Nevada without even stopping, fine by me. Last trip through, I got a drink and a sammich at Railroad Pass, and from there it was basically non-stop to Ogden.

The problem is my CU merged on 11/3. The old CU had a direct phone line to helpful people, the new CU has a convenient app. So my debit cards are fine. But my CC was issued by the old CC and managed by a third party. The old local phone number now takes me to the new CU phone system, but they don't oversee the old card and don't recognize it in their system. The number on the back of the card goes to a phone tree with seven options, none of which includes 'travel alert' or 'speak to rep.' When I finally got hold of someone Monday by pressing for 'fraud' she said I need to call a different number. Three guesses what number - the old CU's number that now goes to a the new CU system that doesn't recognize my old CU card. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Also worked one summer in a Vegas casino "coin wrapping room" -- a pretty good workout dumping buckets of gathered slot machine coins onto a conveyor belt to be wrapped -- after which we'd load canisters filled with the wrapped coins to be sent to the cashier cage.
My partner had been doing it for years -- and when processing the dimes or quarters or half dollars or silver dollars, would sift through piles with one hand lifting and then dropping those onto the stacks.
If he heard the right sound -- SILVER! -- he'd stop the conveyor belt (machine was noisy as hell, we should have been wearing earplugs) and isolate and pick out the coin, put it in one pocket, and substitute with a non-silver coin of his own from the other pocket -- so he technically wasn't stealing for the casino (and they had cameras in there).

-Staff must greet customers within 10 feet and engage personally within 4 feet.
The program delivers on the name, requiring employees who are within 10 feet of customers to either smile, make eye contact, wave and “use friendly, approachable, and welcoming body language,” per USA Today. "
If they start talking to kids and offering them candy it will not work out so well.

I wouldn't want $5 coins. Loonies and toonies are enough.
You are right though. They add up so quickly if you keep paying with bills. Surprisingly fast.
One thing Canada does that I don't care for is a different type of quarter celebrating every province. They're all the same size so that makes things easier, but having 15 different types of quarters is annoying.
The toonies are unique and easy to distinguish. Loonies and car wash tokens I get from the local gas station are very similar and I keep them all in the same place.

Economy sucks
300 Wendy's are closing locations because Americans can not afford to eat out even at a Wendy's
Car repos at record highs
When people lose their cars they can't work.
ADP just revised its October new job numbers from an already very weak 40000 to zero new jobs. That would make it 3 zero months in a row.

It will be (probably) a LAVH or laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy. If it is this type of surgery, it should go well and only one night in the hospital. And not a lot of pain. Three little tiny incisions. Prayers all will be well.

"Brigand and His Wife in Prayer" by Léopold Robert depicts a brigand and his pregnant wife praying at a roadside shrine, reflecting themes of devotion and the struggles of their life in the mountains of central Italy.
The painting highlights the contrast between their criminal lifestyle and their deep religious faith."

[Per Brave search "AI:"]
This early meaning was not inherently negative, as these soldiers were part of legitimate military units.
However, the term began to shift in connotation during the 14th century, particularly in English, where the distinction between professional mercenary armies and armed, organized criminals blurred.
As soldiers often turned to pillaging and robbery after wars ended or when unpaid, the word "brigand" increasingly came to describe those who lived by theft and violence outside established authority.

Two Danes who are referred to as “Godfathers of Wind” for spearheading wind electricity have the sadz. They see the mood shifting on climate change. People aren’t freaking out about it as much as they used to.
Womp womp.
And of course it’s Trump’s fault. But you already knew that. And also the voters who are against climate change green nonsense are too stupid to know they’re voting against their own interests. Which you also already knew.

It was the final outing for golfing with the geezers. After yesterday it's just pickup rounds until spring. I did pretty good. Won two holes and got closest to the hole on a Par 3. ( about 3 feet). Good news I won $13. Bad news is we're down to 9 guys so the money pool was small. Most of the regular players have gone to warmer climates for the winter.

Honestly, I don't see too much "woke", unless you count Patriarch Bartholomew, who's known as the Green Patriarch. He means well, and takes environmental stewardship seriously, but I don't think he's politically savvy enough to know to avoid the Watermelon Coalition. Other than that, if anything we've seen a lot of converts in recent years, partly because wokeism and modernization have hit everywhere else. Just my $0.02.

It used to be an old Italian-American tradition that when something was lost, you prayed to St Anthony to find it. The vernacular rhyme was "Tony, Tony, look around / There's something lost that must be found."
So, if you extrapolate "something lost that must be found" to "This TV just fell off the back of a truck, so fuhgeddabout it!", there you are.

Paleontologists have identified a new species of flying reptile, named Bakiribu waridza.
The most compelling detail of the discovery is the origin of the fossil: it was found in a regurgitalite, or fossilized puke, left by an unknown predator.
Surprisingly, the trace fossil preserved the remains of an entirely new pterosaur species that was consumed and then regurgitated indigestibly.

That's really more the classic Down East Mainer than anything else. Since Our Town is based on Peterborough NH, the accent would be nasal, but not the laconic "ayuh," IMO.

The Morning Report — 11/12/25
Bill Gates's recent comments about the importance of adaptation echo former World Bank chief economist Larry Summers's response to the concept of “sustainability,” the moral rock on which the church of climate change was built. Though still a “serious” problem, Gates no longer regards human-caused climate change as an existential threat. “People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future,” Gates said. “Surprisingly, excessive cold is far deadlier [than extreme heat], killing nearly ten times more,” he admitted.I assume that upon hearing his apostasy against Leftist dogma, you didn't get a warm and fuzzy feeling but instead smelled the proverbial rat about the size of a mastodon. Bill Gates and his big tech cronies are pushing AI hard and heavy. Considering AI and everything associated with it vis a vis the technology that powers it requires massive amounts of energy, there is no way for it to exist without fossil fuel energy. So, Gates' denunciation of Global Warming Climate Change is mercenary in the extreme. And considering what he and his ilk crave, absolute power and the desire to reshape humanity and society in their image, there is no doubt that AI will be used mostly in pursuit of that cause, not for the advancement of humanity as we mere human beings imagine and desire.
While we're on the subject of apostasy, I've written about Sen. John Fetterman a few times over the past year or so, especially in the wake of the October 7th Islamic invasion and mass wave of butchery on Israel from Gaza. Since then he has been the very dim candle within the Category 10,000 hurricane of Israel/Jew hatred in the Democrat Party. His latest outburst if you will was in raging against the party's holding America hostage with the Schumer Shakedown Shutdown Shitshow.
In the debate over the federal government shutdown, U.S. Senator John Fetterman, D-PA, has been the only Democrat to be critical of his party’s role in creating the debacle. In an interview on Sunday’s CNN show State of The Union with Jake Tapper, Fetterman said, “I feel like the Democrats really need to own the shutdown. I mean, we’re shutting it down.” In addition, Fetterman noted that the problem of “42 million Americans” facing “food insecurity” would be solved if Democrats “just reopen our government.” Fetterman continued to blast his party’s neglect of Americans in need. He claimed, “Now we are hurting the very people that we fight for, and now we’re getting nothing for them if we continue to keep our government shut down.” These comments are both accurate and courageous, as Fetterman stands alone among Democrats. Yet, the Senator is comfortable going his own way. No other Senator wears shorts and a sweatshirt in the halls of Congress. He has also shown tremendous perseverance, publicly dealing with his stroke and clinical depression.So is Fetterman merely trying to walk a tightrope in a state that despite the hardcore leftist strongholds of Philly and Pittsburgh is generally Republican if not necessarily conservative. But then again, his base of support wouldn't come from there. Doesn't he risk the ire of his party's leadership who could easily replace him with someone more, pliable shall we say. But regardless, When Schumer or whoever cracks the whip 99 out of 100 times Fetterman will vote the party line. As an aside, and not coincidentally, vis a vis the aforementioned about Gates, Pennsylvania is oil and coal country. Black gold in them thar hills. But given the issues at hand, exactly what is the party line? Right now, they appear to be melding into some sort of Marxist/Islamist entity as we can clearly see with the rise of Mamdani as well as the continued presence of such execrable beasts as Bernie Sanders and Titty Caca Ocasio. And with Schumer now seen as a sellout to Trump now that the shutdown is virtually over with the Democrats having essentially nothing to show for it.
Elsewhere, this headline and story is something we've been screaming about since forever:
America needs a 40-year pause in immigration—it was a major 20th century success: The population of America after the Civil War exploded, driven by immigration, which caused constant problems in Europe and the westward expansion of America, growing 25-30 percent every decade. . . . . . The difference today from the 1880s to 1920s is the massive amounts of illegal immigration we have allowed, which went on steroids during the dark years of Joe Biden. That unvetted mass immigration is new, but the havoc it is wreaking is not. We saw it in the real wage decline of white and black Americans, which has only gotten worse since 2014. Because universities and the teachers they cranked out into public schools purposely stopped teaching real American history to focus only on the warts, most Americans today do not know that America has been around this block.And as if to underscore the problem, I give you:
Michigan Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed Deleted Post Calling Border Patrol 'White Supremacists' and Blaming US for Illegal Immigration . . . The revelation comes after reports that El-Sayed deleted other posts supporting the 'defund the police' movement
As you can see and infer as I have from several of the links, it won't be very long before the Islamic hordes link up arms with Antifa, BLM, street gangs of the indigenous and imported variety to hold us hostage or worse, all at the behest of the Mamdanis and Titty Caca's of the Party. Perilous times ahead, my friends. CAIR, ANTIFA and everyone who supports, funds and protects them must be collectively destroyed, before they destroy us. HOW we are to accomplish that act of self-preservation, given the corruption of our government and crucially our justice system, is the question. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know

AMERICA AND THE WORLD IMPRISONED: CHINESE+Fauci-created CORONAVIRUS FICTIONS AND FACTS - A close collaborator of virologists who studied coronaviruses in Wuhan frequently advised America’s top spy agency in the lead-up to the pandemic, and that same agency suppressed intelligence on the parallels between COVID-19 and their research. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s (ODNI) hub for foreign biological threats dismissed the intelligence pointing to a lab accident in Wuhan as “misinformation” in January 2021, two former government sources who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive internal meetings told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

42 As FDR supposedly once said, there are no coincidences in politics. If something happens, somebody wants it that way. There’s the amazing sel-licking ice cream cone logic foisted by the courts that only the federal gubbmint can address illegal aliens. No cops, sheriffs, national guard, active duty, state patrol, texas rangers, DMV, no government employees. Etc. Further nobody can even ask. Proof of Citizenship not required for anything, even when black letter law explicitly says it is.
The clincher would have to be when the courts long ago held that illegal aliens are entitled to public school district taxpayer dollars. It was a bullshit decision, along with their fairy tale interpretation of “birthright” citizenship. More twaddle, from clowns in robes.Posted by: Common Tater at November 12, 2025 07:38 AM (rFLpo)

"It’s a little funny, but the five-year-long RNC -vs- TP/MAGA fight is essentially what we are now watching within the other wing of the UniParty, the DNC wing. The grassroots left against the DNC professionals. The “progressives” or “socialist democrats” are taking Democrat scalps the same way the grassroots right took down Republicans.

51 CAIR Teased a 'Major' Expansion to Its Political Operations After Oct. 7. Two Years Later, Its Network Is Taking Credit for Mamdani's Win—and Pledging To Do More.
Muslims are using the same blueprint in the USA as they used in Western nations in Europe and in Canada (Toronto). They have Minnesota, Michigan and now NYC. They are also taking over Texas, specifically Houston.
I would prefer deporting all Muslims and banning Muslims going forward. But considering no one in our lifetime will have the spine for that...
Alexander Duncan @AlexDuncanTX
One, simple way, to start ending the Islamization of America is to ban all Muslims from holding elected office, as their allegiance is solely to Islam, not America. Ban Sharia law in its entirety in the US, and designate CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations.

57 This needs to happen. Islam is not a religion. It is a totalitarian political ideology akin to Naziism. And should be classified as such and banned as we would Naziism.
So long as Muslims get to hide behind the protection of Islam being classified as a religion, it will spread in Western nations like a cancer, taking advantage of Western nations' "tolerance" and suicidal empathy. And Western civilization will fall to Islam.

With so many out of work, wages can stagnate, people can be out of work a long time (in a state that doesn't pay much for unemployment), new college grads can't get hired, etc. It snowballs to be a full state issue when you have big job losses no matter how they happen b/c it effects everyone. And then the bragging about doing it becomes the dagger that moves to literal hatred...
This is why ALL VA Ds are demanding fed gov open b/c they can't have those folks ALSO not working and getting paid on top of the 221K already out of work (granted only about 66K were this area, but still 66K is a lot of high 5K=low 6K jobs to lose in 6 months)...Posted by: Nova Local at November 12, 2025 08:09 AM (tOcjL)

114 That we haven't shut down CAIR is an embarrassment and disgrace.
Posted by: Ordinary American at November 12, 2025 08:00 AM
Not only has it not been shut down in the US, but IIRC, President Bush legitimized the organization almost immediately after the 09/11 Islamic terrorist attacks. I remember reading about CAIR being given tours through US airports to assure them that Muslims were not being treated poorly in airport security, despite the fact Muslims had JUST skirted airport security to commit the terrorist attacks.
...there were documented meetings, discussions, and collaborations involving CAIR with agencies like the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Customs and Border Protection.
These interactions focused on cultural sensitivity training for security personnel, policy changes to reduce profiling, and monitoring treatment of Muslim passengers returning from events like the hajj pilgrimage. For instance: CAIR chapters held talks with TSA and DHS officials on issues like headscarf (hijab) screenings and national security without bias.

She didn’t starve as a young child because her older sister gave her some of her own food.
The miracle: one night mom and dad both separately decided to sneak away and they not only found each other in the dark but their two daughters and somehow got out of the country and to America.

Rich foreigners allegedly paid upward of $90,000 to shoot people during “human safari” trips to Sarajevo in the 1990s — with an extra fee to kill children, according to wild claims being probed by Italian prosecutors.
The investigation was sparked after an Italian writer alleged he had uncovered evidence that wealthy gun enthusiasts — dubbed “sniper tourists” — would pay Bosnian Serb forces for the chance to gun down residents at random during the four-year siege of the city, the Guardian reported.
More than 10,000 were killed in Sarajevo by snipers and shelling between 1992 and 1996 during the Balkan Wars.Posted by: SMOD at November 12, 2025 08:31 AM (RHGPo)

This, IMO is the real story of AI. How much electricity and water they need to operate. And... how the state and/or county they're being built in is passing on the huge cost increases for those utilities to the local consumers. In exchange for some property tax. And probably some money under the table.
Locally there was some preemptive work done to stop the construction of such a datacenter about 10 miles from me. The cost increases for water and electricity to us, if this thing was built, were expected to be double, or probably more, what we're paying now.

193 The DOJ sent out around 30 grand jury subpoenas over the last week and apparently they came from the Southern District of Florida. Mar A Lago is in Florida.
The targets include people like Brennan, Strzok and Page, all of who were long gone by the time of the 2020 election let alone the raid of Mar A Lago. So why Florida?
Because the DOJ is apparently trying to build a conspiracy case that attempted to keep Trump from office and then drive him from office and then keep him from ever winning reelection.

196 Locally there was some preemptive work done to stop the construction of such a datacenter about 10 miles from me. The cost increases for water and electricity to us, if this thing was built, were expected to be double, or probably more, what we're paying now.
Tangential but this brings to my mind a recent incident in my town...
My town had a proposal to build a large group of apartments. A few people noted that while this proposal was being considered we had an outdoor water ban....so why would we build more housing if we didn't have enough water already?
The answer? Well the state determines if we have a water shortage and it doesn't matter how much our town actually uses.

Like wokeness more generally, climate insanity depends on two things:
1. The absence of dissent enforced by control of cultural, scientific and government institutions
2. Generalized abundance
They still more or less have the control required for #1, but major cracks have shown up and the loss of Twitter was a fairly big deal. They can still do a lot of message control, but they are losing the ability to completely stop dissent and they way they responded to COVID hurt them rather than helped them.
But even that can be overcome on its own, though the failure to provide abundance may make it impossible. You can't call people evil *and* make them poor simultaneously. You have to choose one or the other. The tolerance for things like wokeness and climate scams goes way down when you can't fill your tank (or even have a tank to fill), can't buy a house, etc. - and those are minor consequences of the end of abundance.Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at November 12, 2025 08:52 AM (yjAVs)

The US government tolerated, enabled and encouraged it. The US government acts as the stateside partner in the vast trafficking networks. The US government and its quangos finance it and handle the street-level logistics.

Bill Gates and Our Betters are currently buying up farmland in the US and elsewhere. You can already see the manipulation of food production in the EU and elsewhere for "global safety'. The Netherlands provides a great example. France as well.
Speaking of the French, their big water company is buying up water rights all over the world. Mostly specific sites where the water is of very high quality. Water rights will be a big issue, IMO once sufficient control is obtained. Maybe not here or Canada, but certainly elsewhere.
Control of Food and Water is a great whip to control people. See the Ukraine under the Soviets.

There's no denying Republicans have done better when Trump is on the ballot but I think way to much has been made over the results in VA, NJ and NYC. They are various shades of blue states that don't really track with Trump. And local candidate quality does matter. Sears seems like a good person but she is not MAGA, was not endorsed by Trump and ran a pretty lackluster campaign. And there are a lot of pissed off people in NOVA because of all the cuts to government.

Her software for some reason calculated the taxable amount of my SS as $5K lower than I think it will be. She said it's based on your other income. I guess I'll have to wait until late Jan. to see on the new IRS forms.

326 > How is Trump or Bondi going to speed up the grand jury system? They just sent out 30 grand jury subpoenas for people like Brennan, Strzok and Page. They don't get to set the timing for when these grand juries happen, the court does.

They can let the grand jury system know it's a priority.
The judicial system isn't so insulated that it can't be pressured. Assuming one wanted to pressure it. And that does not seem to be the case, currently.

PA is close to lost, and has no West Coast appeal to keep it afloat. It won't get better given the governor's political interests. (YouTube, MSNBC, Problem solvers won the night for Democrats: Gov. Shapiro, Nov. 6, with Jen Psaki.)
Rs lost PA Superior Court, Commonwealth Court, and Court of Common Pleas. Rs also again lost Delaware County Council; Sheriff; County Controller; Register of Wills; six Magisterial District Judges (almost a solid turnover to women, too) & almost every school district but for a few moneyed and keeping their schools on an educational v. DEI path. Only town auditor(s) - again only in the finest places in the county such as Thornbury, Newtown, and Chadds Ford - held an R line.

The county is currently involved in legal dispute w/Chester over casino revenues as part of the city' municipal bankruptcy proceedings. It's seeking to ensure a prior agreement that used casino funds as security for a loan (Subaru Park) is honored. ($28.6 million in bonds issued & the county was granted a security interest in revenue from Harrah's Casino.) Doubt the county & bondholders prevail.
Crozer Chester Hospital's parent co went bankrupt. Chester & other towns lost important hospitals.
Chester was a "financially distressed municipality" under Pennsylvania's Act 47 program since 1995, went under receivership June 2020, when the Commonwealth Court granted an order appointing a receiver to manage its finances.

Top Story
- Japanese investment group SoftBank has sold its entire stake in Nvidia for $5.83 billion. (Tom's Hardware)
Do they know something I know?
Apparently not, because they also sold their stake in T-Mobile for $9.17 billion, making a quarterly profit of $16.6 billion, and are planning to use the funds to invest further in OpenAI.
- J. P. Morgan says current plans for AI datacenter buildouts would require revenues of $650 billion per year forever to deliver a 10% return. (Tom's Hardware)
That's the equivalent of $180 for each and every Netflix subscriber worldwide.
Per month.
Eternally.
It's not a bubble.
Tech News
- The worst-selling Microsoft product ever. (Tom's Hardware)
Not the worst product, not by a long shot, but there was no real market for it.
Microsoft used to sell accelerator cards for computers. They started with the SoftCard for the Apple II, which added a Z80 for running CP/M. Later they had an 8086 card called the Mach 10 and then an 80286 card called the Mach 20 for IBM PCs and compatibles, which took over from the 4.77MHz 8088 assuming that's what you had.
None of those are the thing. They all sold... Fine, basically.
No, the thing was the OS/2 operating system - for the Mach 20 card. It required a custom version.
Microsoft sold eleven copies. Eight of them were returned.One of my former colleagues spoke with the person who took over from him as the support specialist for OS/2 for Mach 20. According to that person's memory [...] a total of eleven copies of "OS/2 for Mach 20" were ever sold, and eight of them were returned. That leaves three customers who purchased a copy and didn't return it. And the support specialist had personally spoken with two of them.
Wait, there was a time when you could return software?
- Apple meanwhile is now selling a sock for $229.95. (The Verge)
It's called the iPhone Pocket.
It's not an iPhone.
It's not even a pocket.
It's pretty literally a sock.
Yes, we've been down this road before. But at least both Steve Jobs and his audience knew the idea was ridiculous, and in 2004 you got a six pack of socks in a rainbow of colours for $29.
- AMD has mentioned - not announced, but officially mentioned - Zen 6 and Zen 7 as upcoming products. (WCCFTech)
No specs or prices or dates but they are officially a thing that might happen some day.
- The Chinese electric vehicle market is imploding. (The Atlantic) (archive site)
I saw - just yesterday, I think - a YouTube video reporting that Chinese EV market leader BYD was losing money twice as fast as Tesla is making it - around $10 billion per quarter.In China, you can buy a heavily discounted "used" electric car that has never, in fact, been used. Chinese automakers, desperate to meet their sales targets in a bitterly competitive market, sell cars to dealerships, which register them as "sold", even though no actual customer has bought them. Dealers, stuck with officially sold cars, then offload them as "used", often at low prices. The practice has become so prevalent that the Chinese Communist Party is trying to stop it.
Sounds like the same scam we've seen a thousand times before, right before things turn pear-shaped.
Often but not exclusively in nominally communist countries.
- ClickFix may be the biggest security threat your family has never heard of. (Ars Technica)
I think not.ClickFix often starts with an email sent from a hotel that the target has a pending registration with and references the correct registration information. ... Once the mark accesses the malicious site referenced, it presents a CAPTCHA challenge or other pretext requiring user confirmation. The user receives an instruction to copy a string of text, open a terminal window, paste it in, and press Enter.
There are two kinds of people in my family. The first kind would say Open a what? and call one of the second kind. Who is probably in the next room installing BSD 4.4 on an IBM RT they found at Goodwill for $5.
The second kind would laugh and say They're not even trying anymore! before returning to the task at hand.
- The Thunderobot Mix G2 is a mini gaming PC with an Intel 275HX CPU and a mobile RTX 5090. (Liliputing)
Well, up to one of those. It starts with a 255HX and a mobile 5070 Ti (remember that Nvidia's mobile model numbers are generally equivalent to the next lower desktop model) for $2105.
- The Olares On is a mini gaming PC with an Intel 275HX CPU and a mobile RTX 5090. (Liliputing)
Although it claims not to be, those are indeed the specs. One model only at $2999.
Both of these systems have, for some strange reason, only a single HDMI port.

Hang in there. Good advice you got on sitting down if you feel dizzy. That puts you a lot closer to the floor (or ground) if you do black out - less chance of injuries.
Chart when you take your med on a spreadsheet. Try to shoot for the same time-of-day within a one hour window. (Keeping track also helps re-assure you that you actually took the thing so you don't accidentally double-up, which also can cause blood pressure to crash.)

If you're dehydrated, your BP drops. (Less fluid to pump around, after all.)
Plus you need to be sitting calm for 5 minutes with the blood pressure cuff at your heart level before you take your blood pressure. Which means you can't read the crap that idiots like me post here while you're taking your BP.

41 Morning, 'rons and 'ronettes. 34 chilly degrees here at Stately Poppins Manor., with a day full of wind and cold predicted. I have a prescription to get after work, but I really don't want to get dressed and go out.
A return to normalcy today, with 3+ hours of work ahead, so will be popping in and out probably.
I'm never on the ONT, so I don't know if this was mentioned, but I am pretty sure that the linked sound clip of the guns falling silent in 1918 followed by the chirping of a bird was determined to be a fake.

46 Same B/P meds problem Miss Pixy as you described. My cardiologist when pesented with 2 weeks of my pressures stated I had some too low numbers; but he did no adjustments. So, I cut my 40mg lisinopril to 20mg/day, felt better with repeated B/P checks to confirm better systolic/diastolic numbers. Cardiologist agreed and changed dosage to 20 mg / day. So with some too low B/P still evident, I adusted to 10mg/day and feel much better. Have not informed Cardio of what I did but am very stable.

49 From the ONT, the story about the distillery losing profits on sales of whiskey: A product called "Remus" bourbon and another called "Penelope" Bourbon do not exactly inspire the desire to try them, do they? ("Penelope"? Is there another blended whiskey in their lineup called "Ulysses"?)
People still drink, I guess. But at current price$$$ for a fifth (if the stuff still comes in that size), I can imagine they're a lot more reluctant to shell out on a product they don't know. And perhaps they drink less overall to make what they have bought last longer.Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at November 12, 2025 05:27 AM (wzUl9)

filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against a foreign cybercriminal group behind a massive SMS phishing, or “smishing,” operation.
Dubbed by some cyber researchers as the “Smishing Triad,” the organization, which Google said is largely based out of China, uses a phishing-as-a-service kit named “Lighthouse” to create and deploy attacks using fraudulent texts.

62 I set up two more rules in the Inbox of my old work email (which, as an alumnus, I have for life). One deletes those "quarantine at messaging" emails we got all the time telling us how hard the security system was working for us. The other was a rule to forward the every-six-months email about "It's time to change your password" to my Proton account. This way I'll know to go take care of it.
When I was having trouble signing in to the old work email last week, I called the help desk. They took care of it. But when I mentioned setting up the rules above, the girl on the phone seemed puzzled and said, "Not sure what you mean. We can find someone to help you with that."

Finally the cardiologist did a Orthostatic hypotension BP test and confirmed my BP drops too much in upright position and has discontinued all meds for now. The test is so simple and I think it should have been done before the meds were prescribed. Test is just take BP laying down, sit up and wait 1 minute, test again then stand up and wait 1 minute, test again.

126 Mosquitoes are very seasonal and are driven by how much rain has fallen in the preceding weeks. We just finished up a couple weeks of very wet weather where the typical dry sandy soil we have was wet even at midday even when it handy rained. Saturated.
I could sit in my kitchen and look out the window to all the mosquitoes just randomly flying around my deserted back yard.
The dragonflies have been very busy as I imagine the bats have been too.
The first cold front usually around Haloween is the usual end of the bad times but they are here year round especially after a good rain.
So the rainfall drives the major population but that's coupled with the seasonal rainfall.

152 Most of my adult life, perhaps all the worth-while part of it, has been spent messing about with aeroplanes. Kenneth Grahame once wrote that 'there is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.' With that I would agree yet for a fleeting period in the world's history I think that aeroplanes ran boats a very close second for enjoyment. For about 30 years there was a period when aeroplanes would fly when you wanted them to but there were still fresh things to be be learned on every flight, a period when aeroplanes were small and easily built so that experiments were cheap and new designs could fly within six months of the first glimmer in the mind of the designer. That halcyon period started about the year 1910 and it was in full flower when I was a young man; it died with the second war when aeroplanes had grown too costly and complicated for individuals to own or even to operate. I count myself lucky that that fleeting period coincided with my youth and my young manhood, and that I had a part in it.

Also in Slide Rule is Nevil Shute's keen analysis of private enterprise vs government production in the UK. He was spot on.
The private R-100 dirigible, with Shute as a key member of the design and fabrication team, flew across the Atlantic Ocean to Canada, frolicked around for a while, then flew back to the UK.
The government R101 dirigible had one test flight of short duration then on a flight to India, crashed in France, killing a number of people.Posted by: NaCly Dog at November 12, 2025 07:03 AM (u82oZ)

Profound comment in the replies
Silence fell on the land, on the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day or the eleventh month in the year of 1918. Birds chirps replaced the crack and thud of the cannons. Peace returned; but the seeds of war were already planted, even before the silence took over or could last.
Peace was a welcome respite. But it would be silenced in a too short few decades later. Lest we forget. Peace is like the fleeting chips of the birds—too easily lost. Too much money to be had on the other side of those chirps.*** Veterans Day 30 Years AgoIn 1995, the NYC Veterans Day Parade was in dire financial straits.

*** Rhetorical Question? From Brit Hume“If we cannot as a nation decide not to continue a subsidy that was imposed, or was enacted, during a national health emergency and was designed to be temporary and that all the Democrats voted to have be temporary, if we can’t let that expire, what hope do we ever have of getting government spending under control?”
*** Revolutionary! New series begins airing on Sunday, November 16thTHE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, a new six-part, 12-hour documentary directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt examines how America’s founding turned the world upside-down. Thirteen British colonies on the Atlantic Coast rose in rebellion, won their independence, and established a new form of government that radically reshaped the continent and inspired centuries of democratic movements around the globe. *** Filmmaker Quote: “The American Revolution is one of the most important events in human history,” said Ken Burns. “We went from being subjects to inventing a new concept, citizens, and set in motion democratic revolutions around the globe. As we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding, I’m hopeful that people throughout the country will come together to discuss the importance of this history and to appreciate even more what our ancestors did to secure our liberty and freedoms.”

Though it’s hard to watch The American Revolution without awareness of the anti-monarchic sentiments shared at recent rounds of “No Kings!” protests — to hear the noble egalitarian sentiments that launched the American experiment without pondering the ways the fulfillment of our freedoms has fallen short of our loftiest aspirations — the doc does not overtly acknowledge Donald Trump.
----- If you're able to get to Filth-adelphia... I visited the Museum of the American Revolution ahead of America's 250th birthday. Here are the coolest things I saw.America has a big birthday coming up. The year 2026 will mark 250 years since the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, a milestone also known as America's semiquincentennial. Located down the street from Independence Hall, where both the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were signed, the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia is gearing up for the celebration with a special exhibition, "The Declaration's Journey." The collection features over 120 artifacts that chronicle the impact of the Declaration of Independence in the US and around the world. "The Declaration's Journey" opened on October 18 and will remain on display until January 3, 2027, in honor of the anniversary. The museum also features a permanent collection with artifacts focusing on the creation of America as an independent nation. The exhibits guide visitors through exploring four questions: How did people become revolutionaries? How did the Revolution survive its darkest hour? How revolutionary was the war? And what kind of nation did the revolutionaries create?
Pretty good article. Photos of some of the artifacts at the link. Perhaps we could have a mini-MoMe at the museum one day in the spring when it warms up? Anyone interested? ----- Not related, yet somehow related
*** Booze News One of the Largest Whiskey Distilleries in the U.S. Just Saw Its Sales Plummet AgainJust a few months ago, we reported that MGP, one of the biggest American whiskey distilleries, saw a drop in sales of nearly 25 percent. While that was bad news for the company, it also was in line with much of the other reporting out there detailing the slowdown that is currently affecting the whiskey industry. Well, some more bad news arrived late last week for MGP in terms of reduced sales and income, but the company is trying to put as good a spin on the situation as it can. According to a press release issued by MGP on October 29, the third quarter of 2025 was bleak compared to that of the prior year. Consolidated sales decreased by 19 percent to $130.9 million, consolidated gross profit dropped by 25 percent to $49.4 million, net income fell by 35 percent to $15.4 million, and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) dwindled by 29 percent to $32.3 million. According to the report, the decrease in sales was mostly due to “expected declines in brown goods sales”—in other words, whiskey—directly leading to the drop in profit.
----- When a "handle" of whiskey just isn't enough! Jack Daniel’s Launches 3-Liter Whiskey Bottle — Because Why Not?Want to impress (or overwhelm) your loved ones this holiday? Don’t buy them a bottle of Jack Daniel’s. Instead, buy them a new three-liter bottle of Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey, now available in the U.S. for the first time since Prohibition. “Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey has been at the heart of everything we make at the Jack Daniel Distillery since the days of Mr. Jack himself,” said Chris Fletcher, Master Distiller, Jack Daniel’s. “We hope this bold new take will help create timeless holiday memories that last long after the bottle is gone.” Right, but … three liters? That’s four times the size of a typical booze bottle and almost twice as much as the previous largest Jack Daniel’s offering (the distillery currently sells their Old No. 7 release in 50 mL, 100 mL, 200 mL, 375mL, 750 mL, 1 L and 1.75 L sizes). Then again, at $80, that’s somewhat of a bargain, given that the 750 mL bottle retails for about $25-$30.

(from thisdayinmusic.com) On this date in 2014: Big Bank Hank (Henry Lee Jackson), from The Sugarhill Gang died aged 58 from kidney complications due to cancer. The Sugarhill Gang were the first hip hop act to have a hit with the cross-over single 'Rapper's Delight' in the pop charts in 1979.
On this date in 1972: 24-year-old bassist Berry Oakley, a founding member of The Allman Brothers Band, was killed in a motorcycle accident. In a horrific coincidence, the crash took place in the same intersection where bandmate Duane Allman was killed just one year earlier.
Born on this date in 1953: English guitarist, singer-songwriter and record producer Andy Partridge best known for co-founding the band XTC

27 3 liters of whiskey? To reduce excess packaging, Mother Gaia demands that all whiskey should be packaged this way!
Seriously, I buy my preferred tipple in 1.75 liter bottles, and use it to refill the 750 ml bottle that I keep on the counter. There's a real economy of scale when buying the bigger bottle.Posted by: Idaho Spudboy at November 11, 2025 10:11 PM (dXRTU)

38 As Idaho Spudboy noted above, there can be some value in buying bigger bottles. It's like almost anything else. Volume discount.
And it's not just for everyday stuff. I've noticed some fairly pricey bourbons and cognacs available in the 1-liter bottles, with a price break per ml compared to 750s.
Refilling 750s might have other benefits depending on the booze. The aeration it gets in the process can, in some cases, really change/open up a spirit. There are some aged sipping rums that people decant/rebottle just to start the aeration process, as it yields desirable results. I have one Guyanese rum I've considered for this, since I noticed the last 1/3 of my first bottle was better and much more interesting than the first 2/3 (which was fine).Posted by: rhomboid at November 11, 2025 10:17 PM (U/Byj)

54 Regulars of the gun thread may know I've got some work to do in disposing (taking, or selling off) parts of a substantial gun collection. And ammo. I've noted that the estate includes 9K rounds of high-quality German milsurp 7.62x51 NATO.
In searching around the web for info, I've seen this kind of ammo has occasionally been on sale by the bigger online purveyors. Also, sort of encouraging, GunBroker has a very recent sale of this stuff at $.80=1.00/round. So at this point I'm hopeful I can get a local gun store in the remote location to buy it for a decent price (I'm assuming the usual retail ratios apply, vendor - me - gets about half of the expected retail price at which they sell it).

In similar spirit, the words of Gen. McArthur, Sep 2, 1945.
Today the guns are silent. A great tragedy has ended. A great victory has been won. The skies no longer rain death. The seas bear only commerce. Men everywhere walk upright in the sunlight. The entire world lies quietly at peace. The holy mission has been completed.
And in reporting this to you, the people, I speak for the thousands of silent lips forever stilled among the jungles and the beaches and in the deep waters of the Pacific which marked the way. I speak for the unnamed brave millions homeward bound to take up the challenge of that future which they did so much to salvage from the brink of disaster.

I had two great-uncles (brothers) who served together in the Army in France. One bullet hit them both in the trenches...one brother was ok, the other lost his leg but lived. How I am unsure, as no antibiotics. Both were wonderful men from north MS, & one a wacky English professor at Ole Miss.
My grandmother's half brothers. 10 siblings, 3 wives after one would die to raise the rest and hatch another.
The uncle with his wooden leg remained a bachelor til his death. Living in an old white Victorian house outside of Oxford. Wrap around porch with giant oak trees & the entire family would meet, over 100+, in August there. I remember the porch swing, food, family and the huge, huge oak trees as the adults played croquet.

108 >>OK, write up a BOM for all that and price it. Include the added A/D, D/A, PWM, I2C, SPI, UART peripherals.
Cheapest way to go would be to use an arduino nano as a bridge device with the 140 dollar sff pc, it will get you pretty much everything you need.
So for 140 buck you get a real computer and for 25 bucks you get a precision timing microcontroller/gpio interface with all of those features.
The PC/Arduino combo is better than the RPI in every dimension.
Having said that, the RPi still has certain advantages if you are building a projects that needs an all-in-on SBC with hdmi output with a small form factor.

116 Enola Gay fiasco was '95, 50th anniversary of Hiroshima. Think there was quite a division within the Smithsonian staff responsible. Thankfully common sense won out, plus it kicked off a substantial movement of real historians to debunk the ridiculous "revisionist" crap being pushed about the war's end. Unfortunately for the "revisionists", they seemed unaware of much of the basic material related to these questions. The Japanese ambassador to Moscow in 1945 provided, all by himself, a repudiation of their ludicrous claims, in his intercepted communications with Tokyo.
Was at State at the time. So I decided to go see what their library had on the subject. Found "Behind Japan's Surrender" by Lester Brooks (1967). It had been checked out *one time* (!!!!). It was pre-1974 so definitely didn't have Purple/Ultra material in the mix, but still enough was known to sketch out what a crazy near-miss CF the whole process was (which of course invalidates "revisionist" assumptions and conclusions).
Much later I read "Japan's Longest Day" (1964), a must-read for anyone who wants to know just how chaotic, uncertain, and dangerous the Japanese internal process was that led to surrender.Posted by: rhomboid at November 11, 2025 10:47 PM (U/Byj)

My father, who downplayed his experience in WWII as a Marine on those islands, said they were first sent to Peleliu to guard an airstrip. One night while they were sleeping the Japanese walked right past them vs being shot. They also were clearing caves and burying many of their own after the first push. He was in the second landing.
His job was to figure out where the big guns would be fired. Claims his missed targets, etc, as he was always joking. He did not joke, though, about losing his buddies. My mother said on the Marine's birthday he'd call his friends across the nation who survived with him. He got malaria but came home whole, married years later and had me, his little replica in female form.

143 Enola Gay was Tibbetts' mother's name of course.
For the 2nd mission, which ended up hitting Nagasaki - and was a general CF from the get-go, in contrast to the impossibly perfect Hiroshima mission - they switched planes. Sweeney's plane was the Great Artiste (named for their bombardier, considered a master at his craft). But it was outfitted as the instrumentation plane for Hiroshima, and instead of doing all the work to change things in the short time between the two operations, Sweeney just took Bock's Car (named for Capt. Frederick Bock) for the mission.

Well, that’s because 15 years ago was …. 2010
The 1990s was a long time ago. The plane was not considered something to save, necessarily. I think it spent a lot of time in the 1950s stored outside. It was in sad shape. Then it was disassembled and sat disassembled for many years in a warehouse.
The controversy at the time was huge. Veterans groups were royally pissed off. The crew was still alive at that time, and they were not happy either.

177 On the date of the Pearl Harbor attack, the U.S. had three fleet carriers in the Pacific. The Japanese had six.
By late 1944 America had 18 fleet carriers in the Pacific, plus light carriers and escort carriers that brought the total to over 100 carriers. 100. The world had never seen such an incredible explosion of productivity.
The Japanese were never able to deploy more than six fleet carriers at any time during the Pacific War because the U.S. sank their newly-commissioned carriers as fast as they could be commissioned. They had no idea what they had gotten themselves into.

Bing Crosby and Ampex, the Germans had improved recording technology and was considered “intellectual reparations” or something like that, so there was a big jump in music fidelity right after the war. They had learned how to record on magnetic tape, with a bias in the carrier frequency.
No royalty payments (like there had been during World War One) were envisioned, whole companies of troops advanced along the fronts and hoovered up everything.

When I first saw it, it was at 6:05 PM, and the afterglow of the sunset was still bright on the western horizon. My first thought was, gee, looks like a band of high cirrus cloud, or maybe a jet contrail, lit up by the Sun below the horizon. But as I drove north, and kept watching it, I could see it resolve into the streaks and curtains typical of an Aurora.
Still going on here. Most of the sky is faint blotchy pink. You can see the stars right through it. You know the cloud pattern they call a "mackerel sky"? Like that, but faint pink.

Posted by: qdpsteve at November 11, 2025 11:17 PM (cQHrm)
All audio recording was done acoustically up until the late 1920's. Sometimes the fidelity was pretty good, often it wasn't. Many jazz bands used wood blocks instead of drums, because drums were loud enough to jump the recording needle right off the wax. Listen to a Louis Armstrong Hot Five recording to hear the wood blocks. By the early 1930's electronic recording was nearly universal. Sound on film became pretty good, too. In theory, it could beat vinyl records or tape for bandwidth.
If you watch a 1930's movie now, you are probably watching a dubbed copy with inferior recording techniques for the sound. "High Fidelity" in the 1930's did not have the frequency range that it does now, but it was not in any way crap.

Because of shortages of bottles during the sniffle scare, the Montana legislature approved a revision in the liquor regulations. You can use a larger bottle to refill smaller bottles but the smaller bottle must be an original bottle to the larger.

Wrong think. There are no natural freaks. It's the Dr.s, facilitators, thought leaders and politicians who create this problem. The way to solve it is to segregate these people, totally, from civil society. Your choice.
Then, those frail persons who have been misguided by these physical and mental mutilators will also be segregated from civil society into a controlled environment designed to reorient them into common society. For them and other unfortunate souls that cannot adjust there will be places for them. They were formerly called asylums. New think being eliminated they will now be called, asylums.

It's an ongoing question about whether Sol is capable of an extinction level "superflare", energies 4 or 5 orders of magnitude above the largest ones we know about.
The answer is probably not, but they can't be sure. They've found a few sun-like stars out there that do produce these superflares, but they think they are different enough, something crazy, that means the Sun probably can't do that, at least at the current point in it's lifespan.
I think all that can be said for certain is the Sun hasn't produced a superflare in the last 10,000 years.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at November 12, 2025 12:28 AM (w6EFb)

What blew my mind is you know some of those crazy ancient petroglyphs? Stick figure rock drawings and all that. Maybe those ancients were tripping on the equivalent of acid back in the day is one theory.
Now, what if that was something they actually saw. In the sky. Turns out the plasma display in the sky due to a really energetic solar event would produce images that look similar....Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at November 12, 2025 12:49 AM (w6EFb)

Well, as far as we know, the Mayans weren't seafarers, at all. The Egyptians had ships that could ply the Med, but did they ever venture beyond the Pillars of Hercules?

The bent pyramid of Sneferu. The story goes that it was being built at the same time of the meidum pyramid, and the meidum pyramid collapsed during construction. This brought about an "oh shit" moment, and they decided to reduce the angle of the bent pyramid during construction, so thats why halfway up it changes angles.Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at November 12, 2025 01:51 AM (snZF9)

With Trump's $1 billion lawsuit against the BBC, I'm reminded of this episode from the life of F.E. Smith, barrister and later Lord Chancellor.
"In 1907 he was asked to give an opinion on a proposed libel action by the Lever Brothers against newspapers owned by Lord Northcliffe concerning the latter's allegations of a conspiracy to raise the price of soap by means of a 'soap trust'. He checked into the Savoy and, after working all night reading a pile of papers nearly four feet thick and consuming a bottle of champagne and two dozen oysters, Smith wrote a one-sentence opinion: 'There is no answer to this action in libel, and the damages must be enormous.'"Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at November 11, 2025 07:42 PM (tgvbd)

I axed Grok: "The US Marines have a monument that focuses the sun on a particular spot at 11:11 on Nov 11 every year. How long will it be until it no longer synchronizes with the intended time, due to natural changes in earth-sun motion dynamics?"
Grok replied (after 158 secs!) "Thus, the alignment will remain effective within design tolerances (≈±12 seconds, or 0.05° for millennia but will no longer precisely synchronize after approximately 3,300 years, when the cumulative drift exceeds the structure's precision and the sun's size."

I see someone above mentioned some of this, but they set the 11:11:11AM as the mean time to center the alignment on, but built in a 1 minute window for the full spotlight effect. This accounts for the variation over the leap year cycle. Over the leap year cycle, the sun's altitude will vary about 0.27 degrees, and azimuth by 0.02 degrees at the precise 11:11:11 design time. The 1 minute "slop" window covers this variation.
The time of perfect alignment, when it centers exactly varies from 11:10:58Am to 11:11:22AM over the 4 year leap cycle.
Also, there is another secondary alignment, when the sun's declination comes back up after the winter solstice where you'll get the same effect, around Feb 1.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at November 11, 2025 08:16 PM (w6EFb)

This is true. It's at the franchisee's discretion. My local won't accept the two footlongs for $14 coupon, for example.
I tried Walmart Plus for a year for $49, for the free shipping. It turns out that the free shippers expect a tip. So it's just as expensive as me driving there myself. Won't renew.

According to Grok, the drift in the alignment does get significant every leap year. The sun gets a bit too low on Nov. 11 in a leap year, and the best alignment occurs on Nov 10 really. The best alignment is on Nov. 11, first year after a leap year. 2025 is thus a good year, and then 2029 will be the next "zeroing". 2028 will be piss poor.
Also, not the design life was 100 years. Y2K was the first 400 year cycle where the century year didn't skip a leap. When we skip the leap in 2100, that will be a little hiccup in that alignment as well. :-)Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at November 11, 2025 08:29 PM (w6EFb)

I didn't come up with the idea myself. I was in the marching band in college and dislocated my knee during a rather generously described "two-hand touch" football game. So I was sidelined on Game Day. A stogie-smoking guy came up to me while I sat on the cart (with my horn, in uniform) and asked if I could play "Taps." Of course! Would I play it for his class on Nov. 11? Sure. How much? I said I didn't need payment, but he said he only used professionals, so I accepted $1.11.
He was a prof, not just a prof, a university president emeritus - Walter Adams. So at the appointed time, I came into his class, he asked everyone to stand, and I played "Taps." After that, I got into the habit of doing it around campus, and later moved to the Capitol, and finally Veterans Memorial Park. Haven't missed a year yet, but it is depressing watching it go away. Maybe next year I'll try gin up some media coverage.Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at November 11, 2025 08:32 PM (ZOv7s)

Guys with e-tools did the first work, digging foxholes that were later deepened and connected.
By 1918, the continuous lines were a thing of the past. Machineguns had proliferated and having troops packed into firing lines just caused extra casualties. Defense in depth with interlocking fire points was what things looked like in 1918, and once the deadlock was broken, the defensive lines were less developed.
If retreating, one could have rear-area troops use heavy equipment/actual shovels to prepare positions, but otherwise it was some grunt digging his own grave.Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at November 11, 2025 08:37 PM (ZOv7s)

299 >>A read an article about Wendy's closing a bunch of locations. My takeaway was: "Let's fuck everybody over for some short-term stock price increases!"
I don't think it's that simple and I don't think it's all about the food prices. Wendy's also closed hundreds of restaurants in 2024.
I think it's more cultural. Fast food in general is not what it was when my generation was in our teens and twenties. Drive by any fast food place these days and they just aren't busy like they used to be. Fast food joints are going the way of the mall.Posted by: JackStraw at November 11, 2025 08:42 PM (viF8m)

376 Just a heads-up for astronomically-inclined Morons (and 'Ettes). There is a strong Aurora Borealis going on right now, and its unusual in that a lot of it colored Red, or Rose, if you prefer. Just came in the house from a road trip, and the red part has faded but is still visible as a faint band running from the NW horizon southeasterly to the zenith. Across the southern sky, there is a vague greenish-white band from horizon to horizon. No Moon up yet, but it is light enough outside to walk around and see what's underfoot.

391 The old "Mama's family" sketches on Carol Burnett, and the show itself, could be kind of nasty and sad sometimes. Eunice (played by Burnett) gave and took a lot of really barbed insults.

My mother LOVED 'Mama's Family.'
When I came back from teaching in South Korea, I was able to find and burn to DVR discs many of her favourite shows. I could never find 'Mama's Family.'
I even tried to buy it. Couldn't find them.Posted by: Posted by: Stateless - VERY GRATEFUL, BLESSED, LOVED AND HAPPY! -- - New Life Creation - 18.1% at November 11, 2025 09:27 PM (Sco7b)

396 >> I was wondering if it's adjustable because it's going to be slightly out of alignment over time, which will only get worse.
The design life is only 100 years. The slight change in obliquity (earth's tilt) and the slight Gregorian long term drift is insignificant over 100 years. If they want it to keep it going for a few thousand years, however, it will need adjustment.
Change in tilt has resulted in 3 secs less daylight on the summer solstice here since I was born, and 4 secs more daylight on the winter solstive. Tropics have moved equatorward and arctic circles poleward accordingly over those 58 years.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at November 11, 2025 09:30 PM (w6EFb)

398 Turns out Mama's Family, the TV series, is available at Amazon on DVD, all six seasons, for about $35. There's also a version that's about twice that price for whatever reason.

399 AOP: I went ahead and installed the entire Android Studio on my laptop. I used adb to get a shell session on the Android phone, and it works! I’m like that kid Lex in Jurassic Park: “This is Unix! I know this!”
The Lakshman GPS compass app is now installed and working. Now I’m working on a way to mount the phone to the radio-direction-finding antenna mast, and when that’s done, I have an automatic azimuthal readout on the direction it’s pointing, instead of just an eyeball estimate.
I have reached my Android goal, for now. Maybe later on, if I feel like banging my head against a wall for a few solid weeks, who knows, I might even try creating my own app. Using Android Studio without Grok as a guide is near impossible for mere mortals. It’s huge and intricate, with a not-so-intuitive UX. A maze of twisty little passages, all alike.Posted by: gp at November 11, 2025 09:33 PM (7imtn)

>> Raspberry Pi 5 is working fine for routine desktop computing.
I used to be into the RPI but it’s pretty much lost its cost competitiveness.
You can get a renewed HP deskpro mini i5 with 8gb of ram, 256gb had for less than $150.
This unit is only slightly bigger than a kitted out rpi and will run rings around it.
When the i7s were plentiful, I bought 10 of them for around the same price, the supply has dried up and now their cost has risen sharply, which makes the i5 more attractive.
Even at the higher prices, a fully maxed out i7 makes for a great low end workstation.Posted by: Thomas Bender at November 11, 2025 09:36 PM (XV/Pl)

Cheapest way to go would be to use an arduino nano as a bridge device with the pc, it will get you 99pct of what you need.
So for 140 buck you get a real computer and for 25 bucks you get a microcontroller/gpio interface with all of those features.

33 I rate conspiracy theories by likelihood. My #1 for the JFK hit is that Allen Dulles gave the order in an off-the-books operation.
JFK had fired CIA director Dulles over the Bay of Pigs fiasco and other sins.
Dulles had people handling Lee Harvey and Marina. They got him the job at the Texas Book Depository before he arrived in Dallas. Easy to have a real shooter take the shots from the Depository and frame Oswald for it.
History doesn't repeat but it can rhyme. Dulles wanted a war over Cuba but was thwarted by JFK. LBJ gave him Vietnam.Posted by: Ignoramus at November 11, 2025 05:50 PM (dtajH)

41 Not all conspiracy theories are equal. Some are just utterly moronic. The Jewish theories are bad, but, okay, there are a lot of intelligent Jews, so it can be strung together in a plausible plot (if not examined carefully). I find others just mind-numbingly stupid. Owens' insistence that Macron's old lady mom-wife is a man is one. Okay, ha-ha...wait, you're serious?
Honestly, I feel the same way about the Obama Birther conspiracy. It was so dumb it could only do more damage to those who espoused it. Yes, I know Trump trolled Obama into finally disproving it, but that has a feel of the exception that proves the rule.Posted by: John Lawrence at November 11, 2025 05:51 PM (zbyzH)
42 I think the term conspiracy theory is too vague and generally gets used as "something the FNM says is wrong"
So the FNM will conflate all of the following as conspiracy theories:
White devils stole black people magic energy so they couldn't make more pyramids (stupid)
"The Jews" control American foreign policy (a broad swath of the public support Israel not just Jews, but not surprisingly including Jews)
COVID was made in a lab in China under the direction of one of Tony Fauci's flunkies (100% proven)

95 Chem trails... question mark. But is anyone denying that (Congressional agency) DARPA and some billionaire weather-experimenting start-ups have been firing 'cloud seeding' missiles in the air for years to manipulate the weather? That's pretty public (albeit not broadcast) information. I was in China in the 2000's when it was heftily rumored that China had been experimenting with cloud seeding missiles. I spent a lot of time in Beijing and never saw the sun (just a haze with a glow), much less the mountains where the Great Wall was (from the city). I don't believe for a second that Beijing having super clear sky for the 2008 Olympics and seeing the mountains from the USA vs. whoever baseball game like you'd see the Rockies from Denver was just a natural coincidence... Once you accept that people are firing rockets to create rain clouds etc., the notion of chem trails isn't too far-fetched. Maybe not for mind control (is that the theory?), but weather manipulation... Totally believable IMHO

And the reason was pretty straight forward. Leaders in communist countries lied constantly and endlessly. If you were an average Ivan then how did you know where the lies ended?
We've seen some of that here in the west were again leaders lie constantly about all sorts of things. If the government can lie about COVID and the COVID shot why not chemtrails?
Now...there is plenty of information you can get as Average Eddie in America that you couldn't get in the old USSR, so you should be able to establish on your own why chemtrails are silly.

Most conspiracy theories about the government assume the government can find its ass with both hands.
You will notice that the various illegal activities that took place during the Biden coup have come to light rather easily, because even if the government can figure out how to do something, they can't figure out how to hide it. They weren't conspiracy theories, just plain old conspiracies, and everyone saw them while they were happening.

This is a lot of women, unfortunately, including "conservative" women.

We had one that had a knob on a stick that you pulled out to turn it on, and pushed it in to turn it off.

Tucker was useful during the Biden and back to Obama admins because he would explore some of the many "cant go there" topics that most of the FNM pretended did not even exist.

139 80 ~2018, I believed in -0- conspiracy theories. It fact sounding like a conspiracy, was enough to shelve it.
And then I saw the government conspired against the elected President. And the more clearly I've seen that, I discovered that the only President forced out of office also seems to have been a deep state conspiracy. (Woodward is a spook.)
I don't know about 9/11. But I have a lot more conspiracies that I'm open to.
The fact that sounds like a conspiracy theory is that the term "conspiracy theory" was not in popular use until the IC propagated around JFK's assassination.

149 I asked the same question that many are , what happened to Carlson? Did research, went back a bunch to see whether he was always like that ? Is it because in the dark days of DEI and Covid any sane utterance in the big media from any talking head was treated as manna and all else was overlooked ? Or did he always have editorial guardrails, even at CNN and PBS , that did not allow him to off the cliff? Looking at the stuff he was saying 8 years ago, I deduced that he was always a wealthy populist, who is the first to be shot by the sans-culottes. An archetype of a condescending prick from liberal college who tosses around lofty ideas he heard from someone else. His metamorphoses into a mouthpiece for the Muslim Brotherhood might be tied to the fact that he is not a smart man, but an angry man, who cannot accept responsibility for a loss, a reactive and emotional loser.Posted by: runner at November 11, 2025 06:04 PM (g47mK)

I love reading history, and I've been on an ancient history kick over the past year. It is remarkable how much has changed in just the past 25 years concerning what we know and how we know it from, say, 2,000 years BC to the rise of the Roman Empire. So much has been uncovered and so much published that it nearly puts what I learned in college in the dust.
We will always find new information. While it is true that there is nothing new under the sun, there's a whole lot we haven't found out yet.
The most remarkable part about studying history is how little human behavior has changed.Posted by: tcn, Pickle Queen in AK at November 11, 2025 06:12 PM (yKmBH)

I meant to post something about that on the ONT the other day. Yep, a paper is out purporting a proof that our universe CANNOT be a simulation. Basically, stuff happens that is not computational.
It depends on Godel's Theorem, I think and extension of that, along with other principles.
We cannot be a finite computational simulation. This world and its lunacy is all real, baby. All real!Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at November 11, 2025 06:21 PM (w6EFb)

People conspire all the time. I'm sure Hillary conspired in some way to score that big commodity trade she made back in the day, meaning that she and the broker made a shady deal. No one has been able to prove it, so is that a conspiracy theory? It doesn't seem to quite arise to it.
So although I favor tons of little conspiracy theories like that one, I think my big conspiracy theory is the obvious one:
Some damn lefties sat down ages ago and figured out that they could corrupt this country by getting their ideas into the education system, entertainment, and news media.
Exactly who they were, what their first steps were, what their method was, that kind of thing, are unknown to me.

People can keep secrets for a very long time, it just requires buyin from those keeping the secrets and harsh punishment for those that don't. The Chicago Tribune just about scuttled the cracking of Purple when covering the Midway victory attributing it to codebreaking. They got their fingers stomped in private and the Japanese apparently never found out.
The hotel over the Greenbriar Hotel in WV was another rumored conspiracy theory that turned out to be true and so on.
Then there was the Black Hand in Yugo land, and Mafia in Sicily, etc. etc.
Conspiracy theories is generally what the existing regime calls things that they don't want people to know about rather than the humble factual thesis that may or may not have any evidential truth.Posted by: whig at November 11, 2025 06:30 PM (WDjG6)

367 >>The main issue with government conspiracy theories is you have to believe in a hyper competent federal government. I've worked with fedgov drones most of my adult life. I'm not seeing a whole lot of 'hyper competent '.
If there were no government conspiracies how come we know about them? The conspiracy to keep Trump out of power is real, we all know it, and it came about an inch from working. That's just 1.
I don't think it requires hyper competence when you control the investigatory and prosecutorial agencies and the media and social media. Lots of people just give up because it's hard to beat them but it doesn't mean the conspiracies aren't true and they we don't know about them.

I read years ago, can't remember where, about how Obama was groomed from a very early age to be our destroyer. I can't remember the details, but he was rejected by Harvard as a transfer student from Occidental. It was only when some lefty mucky-muck intervened by placing a personal call to some mucky-muck at Harvard and pressuring the shyte out of him to take this wunderkind. Maybe also said "Don't let him flunk out."
It's DAMN hard to transfer into a school like Harvard, but Obama did it, apparently with a mediocre record. He was the Great Black Hope for lefties from that far back. I'm sure that if someone sat down to trace his career, they'd find hidden helping hands at all points, steering him to undeserved victories and picking his wingmen for him.Posted by: Blonde Morticia at November 11, 2025 06:31 PM (0lgzA)

You don't have to prove negatives. And then, define "simulation", to even have a start. If something is taken as belonging to the world of "Proof", it needs testable definitions. Not just extrapolations of ideas.
We know how Grand Theft Auto simulates the physics of our world. But there are obvious limitations to that level of "simulation".
And really, if you get "simulation", why can't we go back to Berkeley's idea that things are held in common because of the Mind of God?

Simulation Theory or Disproving it is just malarkey. If its complex enough it could be made and started running we couldn't tell. And we can't rule it out either. Its just sophomoric crap to justify a publication on the CV.
Asimov wrote a story "The Last Question" about computers being given the task to reverse entropy and after billions of years and improvements the answer is "Let There Be Light" out of the bible.

You just have to hide and confuse things long enough for people to stop caring, or there is something big enough to take away any need to find out about it.
In 1916 the Rockefeller Institute was trying to get some understanding of Polio in a lab in NYC by a procedure of "serial transmission" in monkeys. Surprisingly enough a polio epidemic broke out in Brookland causing a panic in the people in NYC and in the US. All this was concealed by dramatic public health actions, and lots and lots of panic.
This makes me wonder if the Rockefeller Institute had been doing any work for the US Army near or about Fort Riley at the outset of the first world war.Posted by: Kindltot - I will put Ukraine first no matter what my German voters think or how hard their life get at November 11, 2025 06:39 PM (rbvCR)

430 Gen. Curtis LeMay gets unfairly characterized as a psychotic “bomb ‘em back to the stone age” kinda guy (he never actually said that, go figure) and was in part the character based in Dr. Strangelove aka General Jack D. Ripper iirc.
LeMay figured the Cuban Missile crisis was an opportunity to get rid of Castro, and he was probably correct.
His “philosophy” was, that going to war is a very serious matter and should not be taken lightly. However if that decision is made, then there is no half stepping or “limited war” like the Whiz Kids and McNamara thought they could do. Hit ‘em with everything you got. “Stop swatting flies, and go after the manure pile” was his advice about Viet Nam. He saw the same problems in the Korean war.
He was a very intelligent individual, and completely mischaracterized by the Press, and Academia.

440 I have a cousin who believes literally every conspiracy theory. I think he thinks it's cool to have some sort of secret knowledge. You'll talk to him about some normal topic, and then he gets to tell you what's really going on.
The only conspiracy theory I believe is that Fruit of the Loom absolutely used to have a cornucopia in their logo, and efforts to convince people otherwise and say "oh that's just the Mandela effect" are a psyop to see how much everyone's memories and knowledge of the past can be rewritten.Posted by: Cave Johnson at November 11, 2025 06:42 PM (BGygK)

445 Here’s my conspiracy theory: the cosmological constant, Λ is zero. The 2011 Physics Nobel prize for the accelerating expansion of the universe was given in error. It’s sad that recent observations of 3000 type Ia supernovae give a 5.5 standard deviation result that the earlier work was wrong, and the universe is not, just now, beginning a runaway accelerated expansion. I always doubt that just now is a special time, just like Ptolemaic theories held that right here is a special place. I call it temporal Ptolemaicism, and my doubts rise accordingly.

496 >> From what I recall the CC was a factor Einstein tried to use to negate the expansion of the universe which he didn't like
The CC (capital Lambda) was a fudge factor Einstein put in to cancel gravity at cosmological scales and allow for a *static* universe. Back in 1916, it's easy to forget, it was before Hubble. The true size and nature of the universe, with galaxies flying away was unknown at the time. What we now know as galaxies, like our close neighbor Andromeda, were dubbed "nebula".
Einstein called Lambda his greatest blunder, as he could have *predicted the expansion of the universe* via General Relativity decades before Hubble. It sat on the shelf, never a part of any cosmological EFE spacetime solutions until the purported accelerating expansion was discovered.
As mentioned above, there are now observations that call into question that accelerating expansion, which will be a total game changer -- again! -- if they pan out.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at November 11, 2025 06:51 PM (w6EFb)

501 Ok, but what happens when you take an objective, intellectually honest approach to a conspiracy theory and realize the theorists were right? You then have to put your ego aside and admit that you are not one of the despised conspiracy theorists, but you have no choice because the truth is the truth.
And then that one theory unravels many conventional assumptions you've been told. It becomes an umbrella that contains a whole lot of other connected conspiracy theories. Then you're like "Everyone will think I'm a crackpot but I cannot unsee what I've seen."
Then you try to show friends and family the complicated body of evidence but they're not having it because they have no interest in taking a walk on the wild side into truth-land that will leave them a hated conspiracy lepper. They are too scared to know the truth because of what it will turn them into.
This is what happened to me. As ridiculous as the theory was, and the solid evidence that supported it, I had to humbly admit that I had previously been intellectually dishonest and the crackpots were right.Posted by: Brisco County Sr at November 11, 2025 06:52 PM (6wHqY)

Best I can make of "mixed tape" is that it could reference back when we used to make our own music tapes with our favorite songs. Heck, I even remember being so lame, I'd use my cassette recorder and record songs as they were playing on the radio.

522 The CC (capital Lambda) was a fudge factor Einstein put in to cancel gravity at cosmological scales and allow for a *static* universe. Back in 1916, it's easy to forget, it was before Hubble. The true size and nature of the universe, with galaxies flying away was unknown at the time. What we now know as galaxies, like our close neighbor Andromeda, were dubbed "nebula".

530 As I understand it, only a fraction of particles' mass is actually due to the mass of the particles. Most of the mass is provided to it by interaction, via the now famous Higgs boson, with the Higgs field. It is this field that provides most of the mass in the universe, not the particles of matter themselves.
Posted by: ace at November 11, 2025 06:44 PM

Not quite. Most of the mass of stable composites like nuclei (and to a lesser extent, atoms), comes from the binding energy of the strong force between the particles, rather than the mass of the particles themselves (which does comes from the Higgs mechanism).Posted by: Don't blame the alligators at November 11, 2025 06:55 PM (1Nv0l)

Yes, it's sort of hard to believe it's only been about 100 years for the universe as we know it today was known.
There's an argument that if Einstein had stepped out and predicted expansion via what's basically known now as the basic FLRW equations, that would've been way too radical at the time -- they might have laughed it off, and not gone on to try to verify some of the less radical predictions (gravitational lensing of late, which Eddington verified famously during the 1919 eclipse).Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at November 11, 2025 06:57 PM (w6EFb)

"Completely simulate environment X" is almost certainly a super-Turing computation.
So you need the computation power that machines can't do and requires intervention of a human-like mind. Which wouldn't likely be super-Turing if it was a machine with regular parameters. So you need software generated by a intervening agent.
The only reason that compels us to believe that extra-Turing computation is possible, is that it is undecidable whether human computation is reducible to a Turing model.
However, the only fully-comprehensible models of computation we have are Turing compatible.
That's one of the difficulties of saying our awareness emerges out of machine-like regularity. Which was a problem unaddressed by matter in motion.Posted by: Axeman at November 11, 2025 07:08 PM (krQz2)

There's an argument that if Einstein had stepped out and predicted expansion via what's basically known now as the basic FLRW equations, that would've been way too radical at the time -- they might have laughed it off, and not gone on to try to verify some of the less radical predictions (gravitational lensing of late, which Eddington verified famously during the 1919 eclipse).

If you take the EFE (Einstein Field Equations) of GR, you can move the Lambda term to the right, and note, hey this looks like a source term. That's dark energy.
But the other view is, it's just geometry, a feature of spacetime. Empty spacetime is deSitter, not Minkowski.
But playing around with the idea of dark energy, some strange form of matter, you can do far more with it, the equation of state, than a mere constant term multiplying the metric tensor. It can be real stuff that does more strange things that a mere cosmological constant. The current view of dark energy is the latter, it's some sort of real stuff that behaves like Lambda.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at November 11, 2025 07:09 PM (w6EFb)

There is some really wild deposits of frozen mangled megafauna in the permafrost, up north. Entire herds all wiped out in a single go.
I think the Carolina bays and their Nebraskan counterparts are mis-dated and probably from an ice sheet impact ~13k years ago, and that the Saginaw impact hypothesis is also questionable on dating (a lot of the Younger Dryas researchers think that was ~60k years ago, and they seem to be having a bit of a tiff with others who think it coincided with the YDB impacts)
IIRC they are up to evidence of several impacts (3+?) the the YDB stuff, and think it was a comet that had broken up associated with the Taurids.

There were several recent papers showing shocked quartz at the YDB layer. I'm pretty convinced it happened. Now my synthesis of what I've read so far, with possible errors and misinterpretations is thus:
There was a big comet that came through and broke up, and that's the progenitor of current comet Encke and the Taurid stream. It broke up, and Earth, lo so 12,000 years ago, plowed right into the debris stream. We got a shotgun blast of low density icy impacts. Now that could've been stretched out, multiple passes through that debris stream, or all at once.

Who expected it to break records? 2, almost every movie is bombing now, including the much bigger box office and much-promoted love letter to Antifa bombers starring Leonardo DiCaprio. 3, this was plainly a passion project for Sydney Sweeney, one she probably only got made by agreeing to do some more commercial fare. Again, how much do we expect passion -- or vanity -- projects to make? Christian Toto says we should support it, as she's a culture war icon. I don't even know if she's "on the right." I watched her movie Immaculate, about a virgin nun becoming pregnant and being celebrated by creepy members of a Catholic church as the New Madonna. It's a halfway competently made movie, with a semi-"clever" gimmick to set it apart from Rosemary's Baby, but... did you see it? It's the most egregiously anti-Christian and stridently pro-abortion commercial movie I've ever seen. I mean, I'm not much of a Christian and I'm an abortion moderate and even I was like, "What the hell is this nasty propaganda?" I don't even want to tell you the ending. It's... it goes as far as you could possibly go in a pro-abortion, anti-Christ direction. Remember Mac's joke headline in the Always Sunny abortion episode? "What if they aborted Jesus?" It's along those lines. And she's in charge of her career. She picked this film to make. I don't want to jump on her because I kind of like her but this is not a right-wing culture warrior. I'll praise her for not wading into political issues outside of her actual art, and I will definitely give her props for mogging a femcel CHUD, but I'm not going to hail her as a MAGA spokesmodel. Eh. If she refunds the $7 I spent to buy the movie, maybe I'll buy a matinee ticket to Cristy. I'm not going to see a feminist empowerment lady-boxer movie -- a sort of movie I have no interest in -- just to put money in the pockets of someone who made more money by age 20 than I've made in 20 years.
wherein sydney, who evidently has a voluptuous iq, stares into the depths of a gotcha reporter's soul instead of apologizing for being hot
Blake Dodge ... Assuming the clips were less forgiving than the full-length interview because of the laws of the internet, I listened to the whole thing. Come to find out: it's actually worse than the clips. It's really bad. I honestly can't deal with it. The reporter's whole vibe was kind of: BuzzFeed nark in little white sneakers crossed with your best friend's mom who's not really authorized to discipline you but is mad at you for something that you did? She front-loaded just about every question with an accusation ("context") and raised eyebrows that betrayed the feelings she wouldn't say out loud....
Katherine replied: given stuff like Euphoria (which doesn't take a moral stance on the different problems it explores, like teen drug use), Sydney's career doesn't look very political. And yet: "you have become very swept up in politics. And so I wondered if that has surprised you, as you put your ideas and yourself into art, not commentary." *this was the first among many times in the interview that Sydney had to process the different levels of fuckery in the question with her face muscles* "I've always believed that I'm not here to tell people what to think," she said. "I'm just here to kind of open their eyes to different ideas. And so I think that's why I gravitate towards characters and stories that are complicated and are maybe morally questionable and characters that are, on the page, hard to like, but then you find the humanity underneath them." After sort of affirming (?) the idea of artists keeping themselves "a little bit" separate from politics, Katherine moved on to the cultural obsession with Sydney reaching a kind of climax: "Did your sense of your own fame change this year?" (First of all, what?) Cue Sydney's extremely sane answer: "No. I surround myself with a really, really strong group of people who have been in my life since I was little. And they take me out of Hollywood, take me out of this bubble, and remind me what the real world is. And that that's where I exist. The idea of fame -- it doesn't apply to my personal life. I'm just Syd." "You can't feel the difference in the volume at times?" "If I turn on my phone, yes. If I have my phone off, and I'm home, no." "So what is it like now being single?" Lol. You may not see how that is a natural follow-up question, but Katherine sure did. After Sydney produced and starred in the rom-com Anyone But You, she played a "game" of letting rumors fly about a romance with Glen Powell, her co-star, Katherine asserted. "We all now know that that was a projection, let's say, on our parts -- that wasn't real. But it occurred to me that maybe that story doesn't go so viral if you're not a very private person," Katherine said. "I imagine there are personal benefits to being private about your personal life, but are there also professional benefits to being private about your personal life?" Wow, so, the question was roughly: is Sydney really private, or is she just pretending to be, such that the secrecy makes her even more rich and powerful? *facial processing* "The professional benefits for me and being private -- is for my own just health and sanity. If I let everybody in all the time, I have nothing for myself." She's just 28 years old, Sydney said; she's still going to make mistakes and grow. "And I think that it's important to be able to do that without having to say every single thing all the time." "Right. Okay." Lol. "I don't really let other people define who I am," Sydney said. "I'm happy to hear that. I have a lot of secondhand concern for you lately," Katherine said while fake laughing. "We're sort of talking around this American Eagle ad right now." Aha.
Eh. I already supported Matt Walsh, despite finding him to be tedious and annoying. I don't know how much money I have to spend on Culture War Bonds, as the now-insane Ya Boy Zack says. Isn't "supporting" movies for identity-politics and political reasons a left-wing thing? Gay entertainment zine The Hollywood Reporter:
Meanwhile: Billy Bob Thornton says he's tired of know-nothing celebrities pontificating about every political and cultural issue.
In the new film Predator: Badlands, a young Predator monster, Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), is bullied by his domineering father for being too small and weak, learns important lessons about the value of sensitivity, and meets two feisty women (one a robot, the other an alien) who will become his besties for life. He might as well audition for the school musical. Or move to New York City at the end. That's the joke a friend and I made as we walked out of Dan Trachtenberg's surprisingly soft-hearted addition to the Predator canon, a movie that pushes its franchise mythology in a decidedly sweet direction. Some viewers might miss the macho brutality of Predators past, but Dek's adventures in self-confidence and chosen family may well satisfy plenty of others. This Predator is queer and we should say it.

Yup. This is the "Left Pole" problem.
If you're standing on the North Pole, any direction you move is south, at least for a moment. Pick any point and take a step, you just moved south. It's an absolute reference.

84 >>>44 She is attractive, but compared to Jennifer Connelly in her prime, or dozens of other starlets, nothing remarkable.
why didn't she become a major star? I think it's because she's too overtly beautiful and so women don't like her in female-led movies, so she can only be the love interest in male-led movies.
She was (is) stunning.
I saw the Rocketeer with my friend and his girlfriend and after the movie his girlfriend said, "Who was that actress? She had HUGE breasts!"

Is it underrated? I don't recall what its box office was, but it had a decent cast overall and people like it.
Sutherland and Sewell chew on the scenery and she's there to hold it all together, and also to look hot.
Too many actresses think that they can be Bette Davis and play queen bitches for awards, but Davis was also clever and witty in those roles, not just a pain in the ass.Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at November 11, 2025 05:13 PM (ZOv7s)
175 123 Connelly in Requiem for a Dream was hard to watch . Didn't help her career
Posted by: Smell the Glove
She got an Oscar in A Beautiful Mind the next year; so her career did just fine after Requiem, I'd say.
Or at least other factors were at play, probably just aging out. Older actresses can find roles, and sometimes even good roles (Aniston in Horrible Bosses, Streep in Prada, Dench in everything) but it's harder.Posted by: gKWVE at November 11, 2025 05:13 PM (gKWVE)

Eh, we saw "Predator:Badlands" and it's about as queer as Terminator 2, which I suspect was a big influence.
The P:B story is that he is the runt of the litter and runts get the ax in Predator culture. His brother saves him from getting killed by his father. And the young Pred zips off to kill the most dangerous animal to prove his worth.
This movie makes the Predator "more human" in the same way that T-2 did the killer robot.
Is it a great movie? No.

*Looks up long line bras* Oh, those are boned.
Yeah, those would work pretty well. I was thinking they'd just be elastic shapewear which... works less than well on plumper figures.
They don't look like they're designed to have a chemise or something worn underneath them, which, hygienically speaking, I'd think would make them a bit more difficult to use and maintain.Posted by: FeatherBlade at November 11, 2025 05:42 PM (a+4eV)

310 Appreciate the link above.
I'm not sold-sold on supporting Sweeney, but I'm exhausted by conservatives A. complaining about far-Left Hollywood and pop culture and B. Doing zip-zero-nada about it.
When we finally get a film that speaks to our values we rarely support it en masse ("Sound of Freedom" was glorious exception). Sweeney stared down the woke mob for months over the jeans ad. Imagine the pressure to comply, to give in and say, "OK, I screwed up ... I'll be an ally," was INTENSE.
And she didn't. She seems sane. She's not political but that took guts, and it gives courage to others to also speak their minds without adhering to the progressive script....Posted by: Christian Toto at November 11, 2025 08:18 PM (JAqXg)

144 I wonder when poor black folks are going to realize that the only thing keeping them from being successful is their own behavior.
The middle class and wealthy blacks figured this out long ago.
Same, of course, for the poor whites, poor hispanics, etc. Nobody is discriminating against them for their skin color. They are not succeeding because they choose not to.

Their situation won't change until baby daddy marries the woman he knocks up with 9 kids and puts some discipline in the household. Nothing will change until the family starts being important in their culture.

"LGBTQ representation is being drastically scaled back on television amid a nationwide rollback of woke DEI policies and initiatives....According to Deadline, around 41% of the 489 LGBTQ characters that were on the small screen this year will not return due to series cancellations and endings.
There's also a chance that more queer characters could be slashed before the end of the year as additional cancellations are announced....The rollback comes amid a huge dismantling of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs across the country. "

245 Leftists reflexively want to increase racial agitation.
I had great fun at University in class pointing out what wankers they were about it. I related the anecdote about how maintenance turned a UH60 BlackHawk into a lowrider on the flightline for a certain CW4 Gonzales before he came out for a preflight inspection, with fuzzy dice and all sorts of “culturally specific” accoutrements and regalia. He thought it was hilarious. My point was to illustrate that we can learn to not take ourselves too seriously.
The leftists can’t deal with that. At all. The last thing they want is a Rainbow Coalition that’s Really Tired of Your Shit

328 This story may not be accurate, but the reason it’s catching attention is because under the current regime it’s a lot more plausible.
——-
In the 1980s a black guy in Iowa City, Iowa (people’s republic of Johnson county) claimed nazis painted swastikas on his Mercedez-Benz. In Iowa City, Iowa.
The usual gnashing of teeth, by the usual suspects in a college town ensued. Candlelight Vigils. Strongly Worded Editorials. The whole bit.
Then it quietly emerged that Mr. Black Guy painted the swastikas on his Mercedes-Benz hisself. He was ratted out by a consortium of various local car painting firms, he had been shopping for a repaint for a few weeks and didn’t like the quotes he was receiving. Some sort of Insurance scam.
The Narrative then changed to “Well - it COULD have happened - And That’s Just As Bad You Guys!”Posted by: Common Tater at November 11, 2025 04:17 PM (VqV9I)

Trump Pardons 77 American Citizens Unjustly Targeted by the Fully Weaponized Deep State
The same people whining that prosecuting James Comey for his long, sustained career of perjuring himself before Congress is "politically vindictive" are the exact same people demanding that run of the mill protesters and their lawyers be jailed for dissent. These people were part of the "alternative electors" scheme -- a legal theory which may well be doubtful, but it has never been illegal, until now, to attempt a doubtful legal theory. Margot Cleveland for The Federalist:
Read the whole thing. Speaking of the Rigged and Fraudulent Election of 2020, aka "The Most Secure (and 'Fortified') Election In History of Mankind" -- the Supreme Court will finally take up the minor little matter of 30 blue (or purple states) illegally and unconstitutionally counting votes invalidly cast after Election Day. This is no quibble about a date on a calendar -- the Constitution itself specifies that votes for office will be held on a specific Election Day. And during the "Most Secure (and 'Fortified') Election in the History of Mankind," states controlled by Democrats at the time, whether they be blue or purple, all counted tens of thousands of improper votes, including undated votes and votes clearly cast after the Constitutionally-sanctioned Election Day.
President Donald Trump pardoned 77 U.S. citizens targeted by Democrat attorneys general for their participation in alternative elector efforts and challenges to 2020 presidential election vulnerabilities. A memo obtained exclusively by The Federalist explains the theory behind the presidential pardons issued to defendants charged with various violations of state criminal law -- a novel theory but one that corners the Democrats behind the weaponization of the criminal justice system. On Friday, the Trump Administration began contacting the scores of Republicans still facing criminal charges in a handful of blue states for their service as alternative electors -- or connection to the alternative electors -- conveying the president's decision to pardon them. The official pardon provides that "the President grant[s] a full, complete, and unconditional pardon for all conduct relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting, activities, participation in, or advocacy for or of any slate or proposed slate of Presidential electors, whether or not recognized by any state or state official, in connection with the 2020 Presidential Election." President Trump's pardon adopts the recommendation the Office of U.S. Pardon Attorney Edward R. Martin provided in a 15-page memorandum obtained exclusively by The Federalist. In that memorandum, Martin detailed the numerous illegal changes to election laws that proceeded the 2020 presidential election, stressing that "[l]awsuits brought to challenge the unconstitutional changes to election laws, procedural violations, ineligible voters, and election irregularities were dismissed by courts on technical and procedural grounds rather than being fully adjudicated on the merits." To preserve those legal challenges, the Republican electors in the contested states met and cast votes as alternative electors for Donald Trump, transmitting those results to Congress consistent with, as the memo explained, "core Article II and Twelfth Amendment federal functions." Martin's memorandum further explained:
Martin, of course, is right, as The Federalist detailed in "The Left's 2020 'Fake Electors' Narrative Is Fake News." As The Federalist reported and as Martin also explained in his memorandum, the Trump campaign's submission of alternative electors mirrored the process the Kennedy campaign used in 1960 after the acting governor of Hawaii certified the Republican electors to Nixon. There, as in Trump's case, Kennedy had filed a challenge to the results in state court, and accordingly Democrats certified three alternative electors to cast their ballots for Kennedy in the event the court ruled in his favor. Two of the three Democrat electors were retired federal judges and yet they certified -- as did the Trump alternative electors -- that they were "duly and legally qualified and appointed" electors for Kennedy. The Democrats further certified "the votes of the state of Hawaii" were given to Kennedy. Kennedy later prevailed in his legal challenge, with his alternative electors then casting their votes in his favor. Notwithstanding the clear precedent for using alternative electors, former FBI Director Christopher Wray, with then-Attorney General Merrick Garland's explicit approval, launched a criminal investigation into Donald Trump, his lawyers, and the alternate electors based on the supposed "fraudulent certificates of electors' votes [] submitted to the Archivist of the United States" for Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin. Whistleblowers have since revealed "that the FBI wasn't merely targeting Trump or a few high-level officials, but potentially more than 150 individuals."
Those actions were taken based on sound historical and legal precedent, and ensured that legislatures in the Challenged States could select the rightful winner of the Election in the event the legislatures or the courts determined there had been a flawed calculation of votes or an unconstitutional deviation from state election law resulting in the wrong electoral votes being counted.The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether federal law prohibits states from counting ballots that arrive after Election Day. President Donald Trump has long railed against mail-in voting and has argued that allowing ballots to be counted after Election Day creates opportunities for fraud. He's claimed that the practice undermines voter confidence by making it impossible to quickly announce final results. However, the laws of about 30 states authorize counting mail-in ballots after Election Day, with officials contending that the grace period aids voters -- including military personnel -- whose ballots are delayed for reasons outside their control. The Supreme Court announced in a routine order list Monday that it will grant review in challenges the Republican National Committee and the Mississippi Libertarian Party filed against that state's law allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if they arrive within five business days after the election. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the challengers and struck down the Mississippi law last year, holding that it is at odds with a trio of federal laws establishing a uniform, nationwide day for voting in federal elections. In June, Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch, a Republican, asked the Supreme Court to take up the issue, arguing that the federal appeals court's decision will have "destabilizing nationwide ramifications."
They always dishonestly use an exceptional circumstance to make a normative, general rule. Military personnel are overseas at the direction, which they cannot legally refuse, of the government. They are at the whim of logistics and chance when it comes to posting their mail-in ballots. A special rule can acknowledge that military ballots, and only military ballots, are deemed to have been cast and received by Election Day without granting every Democrat operator in the country a free five-day "grace period" after the election to harvest ballots from homeless people and dementia patients dying in hospitals to overturn the results of an election already decided. Meanwhile, Jake Tapper -- who is both a Noted Excoriator of Election-Deniers, as well as being a well-compensated Election-Denier himself, has never before witnessed such authoritarian affrontery. Brace yourselves -- SJW dweeb, six-time undisputed world champion at DM Griefing, and ambiguously-gendered Democrat chair-sniffer Jake Tapper is offended! Again! Six times this week alone! Can you believe Lara Trump said that Joe Biden was showing signs of cognitive decline?! What a viciously insightful utterance! Jake Tapper just can't even with all this!

45 In that memorandum, Martin detailed the numerous illegal changes to election laws that proceeded the 2020 presidential election, stressing that "[l]awsuits brought to challenge the unconstitutional changes to election laws, procedural violations, ineligible voters, and election irregularities were dismissed by courts on technical and procedural grounds rather than being fully adjudicated on the merits."

This is a fact completely unknown--and will remain so--to all of the viewers of CNN/MSNBC/et al.
They all know he "lost every election lawsuit challenging 2020" but not one of them knows--or will ever admit--that every single loss was on a technicality.

Friends from other countries are always amazed to learn that you can vote without an ID in many areas of the United States.
I love the way they always trot out 102-year-old Grandma Minnie Johnson, who's lived in the same town her whole life, and has "never needed an ID", crying about what a tragedy it would be if she wasn't able to vote (and by "she" I mean "the SEIU thug 'caregiver' who forges ballots for her and the other 150 residents of her nursing home, while taking a break from stealing their medication and jewelry).
Here's an idea: rather than screaming and filing lawsuits, how about you take Minnie down to the DMV and get her a fucking ID? Oh, right: because that would deprive you of a victim.
If she's able to get Medicare/Social Security/Medicaid (which she is... that nursing home isn't paying for itself), she has enough documentation to get a state ID.

In his "The Evolution of Political Thought", C. Northcote Parkinson (of Parkinson's Law fame) made quite a good argument in favor of a flexible aristocracy as the best form of government, i.e. the system that prevailed in the UK during the glory days of Empire... flexibility being key. Enough mobility that worthy newcomers could advance into the ruling class, without the boneheadedness of universal franchise.

You can't look at the Democrat party as a standard political party any more. They are, merely, a collection of radical niche groups. Some of these niche groups are diametrically opposed to each other. The easiest example is Gays and Muslims. So they need to create a narrative that all the niche groups can share if they are to create a large voting block.
Enter the Trump Derangement Syndrome. And, since that is the only unifying topic in town (abortion was unreliable) they embellish, shape, and employ outright dishonesty to strengthen the narrative. They will go so far as to change word definitions (Socialist, Communist, Fascist) to hold that line. The amusing thing is that some of these radical niches (Trans, Socialist etc) are so vociferous that they insist on their own single issue taking precedent, and that exposes the radical nature of the party as a whole.Posted by: Orson at November 11, 2025 03:01 PM (dIske)

Every lawsuit alleging voter disenfranchisement has never actually had a plaintiff who was actually denied the right to vote.
It is never "was denied" but is always someone somewhere might suffer an "unfair burden."
Never, "I tried to vote and was denied."

177 For clarification:
Bank of America has significant holdings and operations in New York, including the historical U.S. Trust Company of New York, which is now part of the Bank of America Private Bank. While Bank of America's corporate headquarters are in Charlotte, NC, it operates a large presence in New York, such as a main office for its national bank at 222 Broadway, New York, NY 10038. The company also has a large holding in New York-based Merrill Lynch, a registered broker-dealer and subsidiary through which it offers financial products and services.Posted by: Orson at November 11, 2025 03:13 PM (dIske)

Hmmm... seems like the rules for state and local voting could be punted to those respective entities. The Constitution just says the states must have a "Republican form of government", with no specifics about how or when the elections must take place.
The military could just handle the federal vote.
For non-military overseas voters, you could require appearing in person at a consulate with a passport or some other acceptable ID.

You can almost make it make sense. The people who get trained to kill people on behalf of whoever's in charge don't get to say who gets to be in charge.

Something that actually happened, I don't know how many people have experienced it, but I filed too late, so my vote was rejected, While in The Marine Corps, If I hadn't mentioned. and what happened almost immediately after the election? I recieved a letter telling me my vote had been rejected.
Is that a special thing only military get? I could have confirmed it, but the election was done. Or does everyone get a notice of rejection during absentee voting? Or is it that everyone that isn't military get to just vote willy nilly?

Jimmy Kimmel's Nasty Wife: I Disassociated From Family Members As if I Were Programmed by a Cult Over Them Refusing to Match My Hysterical Anti-Trump Energy
Jimmy Kimel's Whatever-the-Opposite-of-a-Trophy-Wife is does not admit she is mentally unstable, but she makes several key psychiatric admissions that could support a diagnosis of mental illness:
* "When Donald Trump was first elected, I was so upset, I mean, we all were" * She admits she is "angry all the time" and understands that this "isn't healthy, at all" * She says she feels "a little bit of sympathy" for people in her family who are conservative, claiming that they are being "deliberately misinformed everyday," while she says she has all the real facts at her fingertips * She says that family members believing things other than what she does "hurts me so much" * She further shows a possible Narcissistic Personality Disorder by asserting that everything is about her: When her family members vote for Trump, she claims, they are "voting against" her fat husband and his stupid show (which I believe she produces -- so she's a nepo baby) * She says this is not about "Democrat versus Republican" but about "family values" as she freely admits -- brags, actually -- about "having lost relationships with members of my family" * She says she's "immediately mad" at "certain aunts, uncles, cousins" when she reads left-wing media ragebait stories, saying that she gets "really angry" and then she dashes "many emails" collecting the ragebait stories and telling them "here are ten reasons not to vote for Trump." She then says that "ninety percent" of these family members ignore her -- gee, wonder why -- but, worse yet, some of them actually respond with "insane responses." Which, between you and me, are just telling her she's wrong. * She says "I hate that this has happened," as if her own boxwine-fueld midnight nastygrams to family members have noting to do with her estrangement from family members
* She says she is "in constant conflict" (with family members, I assume" and that "it's really hard" * Finally, she admits to her cult-mentality by saying "I wish I could deprogram myself in some way, but I get, I get really angry" These are real quotes. I may have missed a word here or there but this is all real. She is going on podcasts with her Unfunny TV Clown Chubby Hubby and confessing that she is a deeply mentally disturbed woman, and, for some reason, proud of it. I mean, seriously, there is so much psychiatric cud to chew over in just three minutes that one can only imagine what an entire fifty-minute hour of psychological counseling would stir up. Kirsten Fleming at the NY Post:Jimmy Kimmel's wife has a very healthy way of dealing with family members who don't share her political persuasion. When our president does something she doesn't like, Molly McNearney gets angry at her "aunts, uncles and cousins" who helped put him in office -- and hectors them with anti-Trump emails. Shockingly, this has led to some "lost relationships." Speaking on the "We Can Do Hard Things" podcast, Molly McNearney complained about family members who voted for President Trump because it was "them not voting for my husband and me and our family." But deep down, McNearney, who is also her husband's executive producer for "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," even knows she's the one who has lost the plot. "I wish I could deprogram myself in some way," she said recently on the "We Can Do Hard Things" podcast. So why doesn't she go ahead and do it? Reboot the machine and upload a new operating system. Cut back on politics instead of cutting off her right-leaning loved ones. After all, McNearney's displeasure with her relatives, she insists, is not just politics -- it's about "values." Yet when she explains the rifts, she reveals that she values politics -- and fealty to her husband -- over blood and free thinking. Hmmmm.
This is a serious national health crisis, and no one says anything about it, because almost all of the expErTs we should all TrUsT are all suffering from the same ten-year-nervous breakdown and insisting that it's perfectly normal.
"It hurts me so much ... my husband is out there fighting this man, and to me, them voting for Trump is them not voting for my husband and me and our family," she said. "And I unfortunately have kind of lost relationships with people in my family because of it." McNearney has somehow deluded herself into believing that her husband, whose literal job is to be a clown on late-night television and make America laugh at the end of a hard day, is now the unelected leader of the Trump resistance.🚨 NEW: Jimmy Kimmel’s Wife & Show Producer Molly McNearney Says She is Losing Relationships w/ Her Trump-Voting Family, Wishes She Could ‘Deprogram’ Herself

It's weird, as I'm listening he sounds utterly incapable of taking rejection, even though he's sought the widest possible public exposure and he (surely) knows that guys like him come and go.Posted by: Blonde Morticia at November 11, 2025 01:32 PM (0lgzA)

The second it looks like it'll happen.
For about five minutes in 2019, we started getting the "Trump was bad, but DeSantis is worse," articles when people had talked themselves into thinking DeSantis had a chance in the primary.
That narrative will just reform, giving strange new respect to the previous Literally Hitler.
TDS, though, has an extra layer, infused with feminine energy that's fairly specifically a reaction to Trump himself. That extra layer probably won't survive Trump no longer being the center of the political universe.Posted by: TheJamesMadison, having some laughs with Alexander Mackendrick at November 11, 2025 01:32 PM (GBKbO)

78 As I have mentioned before, we have no contact with our son and his wife because we voted for Trump in his first term. They were rabid Hillary supporters and hated that we voted for him. They also don't speak to his sisters, because, we don't know why. I tell people now I only have 2 daughters, no son.

80 I remember years ago my then GF had made a new work friend and setup a night out with the coworker, her coworker's BF, and me to go watch a sportsball game at a nearby bar.
And it was fine. We talked about work, the weather, and of course sportsball. Until the cow-worker, a woman named, I kid you not, "Echo", decided she had to get into the latest leftwing freakout.
I'm pretty good at avoiding politics because I've lived among leftists for a long time, but she would not let it go. And our fun night out became a stupid political argument...she didn't want to talk about the actual issue but...psychoanalyze me for not agreeing with her.
And this is long before Trump.Posted by: 18-1 at November 11, 2025 01:33 PM (sKqQm)

90 Completely off topic, but someone in an earlier thread today mentioned Ann Barnhardt and I did a google search that lead me to an interesting site (for me, perhaps not all of you). I'm not Catholic, but the site Novus Ordo Watch is devoted entirely to the assertion that Vatican II was an abomination and that all popes associated with it and all that followed in time afterward are illegitimate. Its a very detailed site and an interesting read, no matter what one believes.Posted by: Crusader at November 11, 2025 01:35 PM (TN0g+)

I can tell you, from first-hand experience, that they don't even consider this a possibility. The only reason they lost is because not enough people voted. Their beliefs are widely and wildly popular. They just need to be more motivated next time.

127 Too many leftists live in their terrible lefty world where conservatives are to blame for every ill.
This is actually another interesting difference between the left and right.
The right believes the world is not perfectible, by human beings at least. There will always be crime, and evil, and misery. We can reduce it via politics, but never eliminate it.
The left believes the only thing stopping Utopia are bad people thinking bad thoughts. And if we could either get rid of them, or at least make them think correctly we could have literal heaven on earth.

150 61 55- it would be interesting to see the left’s pivot if Jeb somehow got the nomination. How long before he’s Hitler and worse than Trump?
Posted by: Farmer Bob at November 11, 2025 01:30 PM (hlNLQ)
Not long, McCain was the left's favorite, back in 2000 they were all wistfully wishing that he had been the nominee instead of Bush, who was Hitler before Trump.. They spent 7 or 8 years kissing his ass, and IIRC it was the day after super Tuesday in 2008, or whatever day McCain secured the nomination that Rush Limbaugh spent the first hour of his show a New York Times article that had done the 180 pivot on McCain.
Then Romney was really Hitler this time, trust me!
And then Trump was and is Hitler, which I know we said last time, but this time it's rlly RLLY true!
And if its Vance, or Rubio or Desantis or even Jeb, it will be Serious You Guys, Trump was bad but he was like a loose cannon, Vance/Rubio/Desantis is more organized and disciplined and therefore more dangerous!

Special shout out to PF Chang's who was so great with my food allergies and my food at lunch. I'm always a little leery eating any of the restaurant free meal deals (but gave them a shot b/c the boys wanted Chinese) b/c busy kitchens make for bad allergy kitchens, but they were great, bringing me a printed out menu with exactly just the foods I could eat and delivering my food in a slightly differently colored plate (genius for allergies).Posted by: Nova Local at November 11, 2025 01:44 PM (tOcjL)

Brand New Bridge in China Collapses Months After Opening
A newly built bridge in China’s southwestern Sichuan province collapsed just months after opening following a series of warnings about cracks and shifting ground nearby. The 758-meter-long Hongqi Bridge, part of a national highway linking China’s interior to Tibet, was closed to traffic on Monday after police in the city of Maerkang noticed cracks forming on slopes and roads near the site. Authorities said terrain on a nearby mountain had begun to shift, prompting the closure. By Tuesday, the situation had deteriorated. Landslides tore through the area, triggering the collapse of the bridge’s approach and roadbed, according to a statement from the local government. No injuries or deaths were reported, though the collapse is a major embarrassment for Sichuan Road & Bridge Group, the state-backed contractor that celebrated the project’s completion in a promotional video earlier this year.

Trump is a provocateur, he enjoys poking the bear, and never misses an opportunity to strike back at someone who takes a shot at him. I believe Vance is savvy enough to pick his targets and use humor to "Shush, now..." the Karens and subtly humiliate the Bernies of the left.Posted by: RM at November 11, 2025 01:48 PM (n/1Oj)

To the hard core Leftists, Politics is their One True Religion, and they go after it like the most insufferable True Believers for anything that you have ever known. Their self identity cannot withstand the burden of seeing or talking to anyone who thinks differently, so they react with rage and insanity whenever they are confronted with it.

231 Just before Trump won, the third time I mean, my stepmom started posting some militant trans garbage. Never promoting violence though. Just the same ol "you people..." Nonsense and holier than thou attitude. Then came the Kirk shooting and wouldn't you know it, she immediately started posting the typical leftist "killing a racist isn't a bad thing"
Immediately unfriended and blocked. Called up the old man and explained the situation. He has a very young business that is starting to take off.

247 There is always an eccentric. In any group of humans of size the eccentric numbers about 33%. As long as the appeal of that eccentric remains within that eccentric it is of no concern. Addressing it only brings it into prominence.
But when the eccentric appeals to the norm it should be identified as such and discredited. Otherwise it will metastasize.

At family reunions she is convinced she can convert everyone else. And, while the rest of my relatives catch up, share laughs and great food, she makes her rounds trying to convince everyone they need to change their wasteful, bigoted and selfish ways. To my relatives it is endearing to some extent. Entertaining, surly. And, people go out of their way to give her full attention and respect despite her...well...annoying stupidity. Some of my cousins even have fun with it and show up wearing Che' T-shirts and other garb reflecting stereotypical liberal behavior.

344 Well I have a take on family
2021, grandma and grandpa decide they're not getting the shot.
My wife and I and two kids, 4 and 2, decide we're not getting the shot either.
Wife's brother and sister-in-law are getting the shot. Furthermore, grandparents can't visit their kid unless they get the shot. So they cave and get the shot.
4 months later, grandpa passes, heart trouble (complications due to the shot???)
After that, grandma visits our kids, and when she returns she's told by her son and daughter-in-law that she needs to quarantine for 7 days before she can see any of them.
That's when we're told that we are not allowed to visit until we get the shot.
Guess we won't be visiting, and f*ck you and the horse you rode in on.
Fast forward to 2024 and they're, "hey, how come we never the kids?
Sorry, kids still haven't gotten that useless shot, plus you all are azzholes, who have never apologized for being azzholes, and my kids don't need that in their lives.
Now, I'm the one who can't let things go.... Sorry. but when you decide that it's ok to treat my kids like disease vectors, you ware welcome to get f*cked with a pineapple.Posted by: nononeyouknowyouknow at November 11, 2025 03:21 PM (Iwv3U)

Where the insane "hostess" emailed her entire family the list of foods assigned to bring, the serving pieces, storage, etc. No trashy tupperware or plastic. It was not in a nice holiday format at all, but demanding and shrill and I would have sent a snotty reply and not gone.
It was an exhausting list from a super neurotic old cow and I think it was Kimmel's wife hag!
While my own family and some of my husband's are odd, her TRump whining emails would result in me blocking her ass.
Mystery solved! She also talks nasally and annoying. This explains a lot about her spouse. While it says it's from Marney, I think it is from Mrs. Kimmel.

After Shutdown Climb-Down, Democrats In Meltdown
I don't mean to discombobulate you, but the Party of Reason and Emotional Stabilityis having a, get this, hysterical overreaction to normal, everyday, fairly trivial things that sane and emotionally-temperate people can barely find the energy to care about.
Democrat Party Fanzine The Hill: Democtats Rage as Spending Bill Heads to House.The Hill's Mike Lillis and Sudiksha Kochi report tensions are boiling over within the Democratic Party, just a week after the party was riding high off its sweeping success in last Tuesday's elections. "What Senate Dems who voted for this horseshit deal did was f-- over all the hard work people put in to Tuesday's elections," Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.), a former head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, posted on the social platform X. "Healthcare matters. Not platitudes."
Fox: Liberal media neurotics, hysterics, and smoothbrains turn on Democrats.Liberal media figures are calling out the Democratic Party after eight senators voted with the GOP on a plan to reopen the government, accusing the party of caving as they try to end the longest shutdown in history. Ex-CNN host Don Lemon, "The View" co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg, former CNN journalist Chris Cillizza and more were among members of the media lambasting the Democratic caucus members who voted to advance a plan to re-open the government on Sunday. ... Lemon posted on TikTok and said the Democrats "caved." Goldberg said during "The View" on Monday, "eight Senate Democrats threw in the towel by siding with the GOP to advance a vote that could lead to the government reopening." Others specifically took aim at Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., the Senate minority leader. Hostin said, "Shame on you the first time. You do it twice, three times, four times, shame on me. Shame on the Democrats for even believing that the Republicans will, you know, even vote on it." "So the bottom line is, the Democrats went into, after a blue wave, the American people saying, 'We do want [an] opposition.' The working people want the Democratic Party to fight for them. And now, they just caved and surrendered. I think Chuck Schumer -- his days are over. And if he cannot keep his caucus together, he needs to go. He needs to be replaced," she added. ... Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan, who founded Zeteo, also called on Schumer to resign in a post on social media.
So let's not bury the lede: Charles Schumer is on the chopping block. Or the slopping block*, because he's a rumpled elderly sow. His bid to appear to be as fighty and zany as Retarded Congresswoman AOC failed completely. No one's buying it.
The favorite televised doomscrolling feed for bitter femcel women and developmentally-delayed homosexuals who want to sound smart at grown-up parties, CNN, writes:
Some Democratic lawmakers also called for Schumer to step down. "Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can't lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?" Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif, said in a post on social media on Sunday. Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., also said in a post that the vote was "another example of why we need new leadership."
He's facing liberal furries? Well keep facing them. Don't turn your back on liberal furries. Unless you want to be yiffed in the keister. No he didn't vote for cloture on the CR, but it is common knowledge (or at least a well-informed common assumption) that he told the "moderate" purple state senators and the retiring Dick Durbin to end the shutdown while he continued playing John Jay Rambo screaming "It's not over, it's never over!" while shooting up generic computer equipment.
Schumer didn't vote for bill to reopen the government. He's facing liberal fury anyway.
... There is no immediate threat to Schumer's leadership, according to multiple Democratic sources. Not one of the Democrats calling for Schumer to step down as leader is a current member of his caucus. Still, frustrations are mounting privately among Senate Democrats that Schumer and his leadership team lacked a long-term plan to secure real concessions from the GOP in the funding fight-- and that the party ultimately ended up without a tangible legislative win, according to a half-dozen Senate Democratic sources. And there is growing chatter about what it means for his future after the 2026 midterms and if he chooses to run again in 2028. ...
Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona wouldn't directly say whether he had confidence in Schumer. Asked by CNN about the Democratic leader's handling of the shutdown, Kelly pivoted to President Donald Trump, whom he called "an irrational president who doesn't care about the American people." Pressed again on whether he had confidence in Schumer, Kelly conceded that it had been a "rough" time for Senate Democrats. "I've been here four and a half years now, and [Schumer has] been the leader, and I understand why people look at this and say, well, this was kind of a rough period," he said. Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen, pressed if he had confidence in Schumer, was also mum on the leader's future. "I was glad to see that kind of unity," Van Hollen said. "I'm disappointed in the result, but we will fight on another day."
Alexandria Donkey-Chompers' fellow Skwad member, Hamas Terrorist and Future Muckbang YouTuber Rashida Tlaib also called for the Jew to be thrown under the bus. But, you know, day that ends in a -y and all that. Axios, a wannabe Politco only read by groomers when they're shitting out yesterday's deposit of shame, writes:"Sen. Schumer has failed to meet this moment and is out of touch with the American people," progressive Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Minn.) said in a post on X. Said Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), a moderate who is running for U.S. Senate, said "if [Schumer] were an effective leader, he would have united his caucus to vote 'No'" on the Senate shutdown deal. Driving the news: In addition to Moulton and Tlaib, Reps. Mike Levin (D-Calif.), Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) called for Schumer to step down between Sunday night and Monday afternoon. "It is time for us to have somebody who can stand up to Trump and someone that is unwavering, somebody who is more strategic, and, frankly, somebody with guts," Thanedar said in a phone interview. Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) told Axios that Schumer "should not" remain as leader. Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-Texas) said in a statement to Axios: "If I were a senator, I would be asking Senator Schumer to step down as minority leader. He's simply cannot meet this moment." Flashback: Only Reps. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) and Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.) called for Schumer to step aside when he voted for a Republican spending bill in March. Ramirez doubled down on Monday, writing on X: "I've said it before, and I will say it again ... Schumer needs to resign." Zoom out: Other Democrats skirted just up to the line. "If I had a vote it would be for Patty Murray," Rep. Emily Randall (D-Wash.) told Axios, referring to her home state's senator. Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wisc.) criticized Schumer both for his handling of the shutdown and his refusal to endorse New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, posting on X, "Profile of scourge? Next."
Profile of scourge? What? Does he think scourge rhymes with courage? I'm not Joe Dead Poets Society over here but, you know: It does not. This is a party of retards.
More from Politico 4 Kidz: Reports of extreme snippiness on conference calls!
Zoom in: Those lawmakers join a cohort of grassroots groups actively trying to orchestrate Schumer's ouster. Indivisible is urging Democratic voters to call their senators and tell them "time for Chuck Schumer to step aside" and launching a program to promote candidates in Senate Democratic primaries who are "firmly committed to opposing Schumer" as leader. Progressive group MoveOn also joined the chorus Monday, telling Axios' Holly Otterbein that around 80% of its members voted in a survey that Schumer should quit his leadership role.A private call of House Democrats devolved into a furious vent session Monday afternoon as lawmakers fumed about a group of Senate centrists cutting a deal with Republicans to end the shutdown. Why it matters: Over a dozen House Democrats spoke on the call, with the vast majority slamming the deal, sources told Axios -- a volume that reflects deep outrage between the two chambers. Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) said the public is incensed at what they see as Democrats caving on the shutdown fight, telling her colleagues, "People are f**king pissed."
Yeah, as I keep saying, this is one of those less-common Democrat performances of Failure Theater. Chuck Schumer is so angry that exactly eight Democrats -- precisely the number needed, given Rand Paul's never-ending "I'm not like the other grrrls" Goth Tween act -- voted to end the shutdown that he busted out his world-renown Crocodile tears to show his extreme pissiness. Video below the fold. Democrat House members are demanding their fellow congressmen vote it down:
Nearly "everyone [was] strongly against" the deal, said one House Democrat who was on the call but spoke on the condition of anonymity to share details of a private discussion. ... Zoom in: Roughly half of those who spoke on Monday's call either directly criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) or did so implicitly by agreeing with previous speakers who tore into him, sources said. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the former chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, argued that either the Senate leader "can't control his caucus" or he "gave his blessing" to the deal.... Several hours after the call, House Democratic leadership sent out an email to members' offices instructing them to "VOTE NO" on the shutdown deal.
House members have been on a two month break. Must be nice. Must. Be. Nice. Mike Johnson told them to all Get Your Ass to the Choppahs and return to DC for a vote planned for tomorrow. And he did say return ASAP, because, due to the Democrats' shutdown theater, a lot of air traffic controllers are skipping (unpaid) work and there are flight delays and cancellations aplenty. Happy Tuesday! And of course: Happy Veterans Day! I sincerely thank all the veterans who have served and fought to keep this nation safe. Bonus: Chucky Schumer's Fake Tears make a fresh appearance. This sociopathic nebbish turns on the fake waterworks whenever he's called upon to appear "sincere," despite being a soulless, ruthless, and craven political operator who only exists to manipulate people into ceding power to him.

There's a really interesting site that I follow called "History for Atheists." The guy who runs it is an atheist himself, but he's also a historian, first. The whole purpose of the site is to refute the historical myths that many atheists believe about Christianity. He debunks the supposed non-existence of Jesus in several posts.

They are socialists through and through. There is no difference between what they want and what the politburo wanted.

They keep howling like it's everyone but, the people that will see the huge increases are the people who were paying almost nothing before.
Why should they get a free ride when I'm paying my own freight?
You wanna know who I bet is driving that? Their new base of young, college educated women. Who are working in jobs (nonprofits?) exempt from providing group plans so they are stuck on the O-Care Exchange.

The ACA has +30 approval ratings now because of those subsidies. People who receive them, love the fact that they pay so little. And the rest just know people who get it or have lost all fury for the issue.

Part of cancellation is to denigrate status. It is easier to put someone in the 'not really human' position if you can get consensus that the person is really not as popular, rich, or capable as was formerly claimed.
Remember the kerfuffle over how rich Trump actually was, or that he never read, or liked watching the Gorilla Channel?

WaPO today, 'Democrats push for a ‘ruthlessly pragmatic’ approach to counter Trump' The desire to hold firm on the shutdown was the latest example of a party that has decided it must adopt a different playbook given the president’s unprecedented measures to consolidate and maintain power.
It begins, "Republicans to end the longest-ever government shutdown highlights the dramatic shift in the Democratic Party less than a year into President Donald Trump’s second term, as voters and lawmakers argue the party needs to adopt more ruthless tactics to counter the president and claw its way back to power."
Bernie and Maryland pols, including Sen. Chris Van Hollen, are a** deep in the mostly peaceful US House disturbances.

The upside? You are "self-pay" so you get everything less than half price.
The downside? It's more of a hassle, but you CAN work it out with the Healthcare provider to be on a payment plan if you don't have the money until you are reimbursed.
You do get fully reimbursed.

Apparently, the hot, new take is to deny that Jesus Christ even existed. The Tube of Ewes thought I would be interested in Piers Morgan asking some Christian, "What hard evidence do we have the Jesus existed? reee!!!"

There's a really interesting site that I follow called "History for Atheists." The guy who runs it is an atheist himself, but he's also a historian, first. The whole purpose of the site is to refute the historical myths that many atheists believe about Christianity. He debunks the supposed non-existence of Jesus in several posts.

Patients then might opt our of a lot of extra things.

Their main MO is to file lawsuits and run the legal process through friendly courts, which we already know is a problem.

They are killed because they are Christian. They are killed because they are devout. They are killed because the revolutionary political philosophy that is Islam will tolerate no other social construct, especially one that recognizes the individual.
But mostly they are killed because they

Clinton put a stop to it too. I remember reading about a "professional" army of around 100 guys that pretty much ground this muslim shit to a stand still. They never lost a single man and were devastating to the genocidal goat fuckers. I think they were hired by the country that had the problems. Clinton fucked it all up by insisting it should be a UN thing, and of course they were fucking useless, and the genocide restarted.Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at November 11, 2025 11:11 AM (snZF9)

28 And since Nigeria is a poor country, and its Christian population is committed to actual Christianity, rather than the post-modern mess of Christianity in the West, they are killed.
They are killed because they are Christian. They are killed because they are devout. They are killed because the revolutionary political philosophy that is Islam will tolerate no other social construct, especially one that recognizes the individual.
But mostly they are killed because theydon't fight back.
Personally? I'd go on offense and start killing your kids. I'd make a twenty year gap between your current goat fuckers and the up & coming. But that's just me.

There is nothing in Christianity that says you must accept the wholesale slaughter of you and your family.
Christians can fight back.

31 If Mainstream Christianity wanted to elevate the murders of 100,000 Christians to a prominent place in its discussions of every other social issue, it could. Perhaps it could supplant the pressing issues of giving communion to adulterers, or performing marriages for polygamists, or ordaining two-spirit, non-binary, gay transsexuals.

After they've been there for a year, they get the young mohammedan to give the layout of the place, who the leaders are, and then arm them to go back and kill everyone. (with a large cohort of the devil-worshipping savage musselmen)

Interesting response to that, which is that the situation is bad in a different way:
stop parroting every propaganda you read on the internet.
The recent killings in the north central region have nothing to do with a Christian genocide or religious based killings. Matter of fact more Muslims are killed in total however the killings in the Muslim states of kwara, katsina and zamfara are ignored by western media while those in plateau a majority Christian state is being selectively propagated as a Christian genocide(Note: these states are all in the same region in Nigeria), we Muslims just happen to have the least western connection to spread propaganda however even if we did those spreading this propaganda don’t even care about Muslim lives.
The recent killings are by suspected herders of the Fulani nomadic ethnic group alongside local bandits which has been remixed by western and pro Israeli Christians and some eastern Nigerian Christian’s as “jihadist” motivated which is far from reality

116 There was a YouBoob video on why Africa is poor. Not Whitey's fault after all. No deep water ports, everything has to go overland and this means costs and issues with moving things from there to here. Even the rivers are hard to navigate successfully with large loads. Maybe the US can spend a few billion and build them some deep water ports then all will be well.

That's an oversimplification, but it's true. Thomas Sowell documents this.
Of note: Africa is 1/3 bigger than Europe, but has less coastline. It's not just lack of ports, the geography everywhere is terrible.
That explains why it never developed on its own. BUT, that's not enough to explain why it's poor now. Why it's poor now is because of institutions, both legal and cultural.Posted by: Formerly Virginian at November 11, 2025 11:33 AM (zjgNU)

The little village church we attended when I was a kid was a United Methodist denomination. All the females, young to elderly, wore skirts or dresses to services. Men wore dress shirts and slacks. No jeans, no t-shirts, no flip flops, no pajamas. People dressed appropriately for a church service.
The ladies, all of them, were opposed to having a female minister. Completely rejected the entire idea of women being ordained. This, they said, was the quickest way to ruin a church.
Same little village church left the United Methodist conference a few years ago. They were fed up with being forced to accept all the deviance that the UMC insisted on calling tolerance.Posted by: Madamemayhem (uppity wench) at November 11, 2025 11:33 AM (2J/Lj)

The worst part is that Carlson has repeatedly pushed the claim that "The Isreali Government kills Palestinian Christians!!!" in an attempt to stir up even more hatred for Jews.

169 which CS Lewis has rebutted eloquently- essentially, He can't be both, He's either God, or an immoral monster).
I watched Jordan Peterson discussing Alex O'Connor about this.
Alex took the con position in regards to Christianity but he noted that the passion and resurrection of Jesus are a real problem from the anti-Christian side. We have plenty of evidence from people that they say Jesus die and then come back. And you know they were telling what they believed to be true because they faced torture and death for saying this - people will lie to get things, they won't lie to lose them...
Now his take was that while mass delusions are extremely rare, this must be an example of that because the other take - Jesus was divine and came back is less easy to believe.Posted by: 18-1 at November 11, 2025 11:44 AM (sKqQm)

I think you're wrong.
The "God made me and He doesn't make trash" isn't about "free will". It suggests that you think you are perfect the way you are.
It ignores the problem of sin and a fallen man. It's really very arrogant- only God is perfect. You are seriously messed up and that's why He sent His Son to save you.

West Africa had a similar trajectory as Central Asia. Both got the camel. Suddenly the vast deserts and savannas weren't a barrier anymore. Meanwhile the deep oceans - the Atlantic and Indian - still sucked for transport unless you hugged the shore with a big flag saying "MY ANUS IS READY, PIRATES" on it.

185 Arafat was an Egyptian, and almost all of the Muslim population in the Holy Land prior to Israel's independence war had moved there within a couple of generations specifically because Zionist Jews had moved there and brought their European knowledge of agriculture, science, and business had created job opportunities for Muslims in surrounding countries.
Yes there were some Muslims in the Holy Land since their conquest of it in the 600s, but the population was low and it was considered unimportant.Posted by: 18-1 at November 11, 2025 11:48 AM (sKqQm)

Congressman Moore Introduces Resolution Condemning the Persecution of Christians in Nigeria
November 7, 2025
Press Release
In part, "The ongoing brutal attacks against Christians in Nigeria should shake every American to the core. We applaud President Trump's move to designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern. I’m proud to co-lead this resolution with Congressman Moore and our colleagues to help ensure targeted Christian communities receive real protection. We stand ready to fully support decisive action from the Trump Administration to stop these heinous attacks and end the persecution of Christians in Nigeria once and for all,” Congressman Mark Alford (MO-04) said."
OTOH & ie,
Jonathan Jackson, D-IL, & others have voiced strong opposition to threats of military action, calling them a "dangerous overreach" that could repeat colonial patterns. He advocates for support via humanitarian and peacebuilding initiatives.
Congressman Chris Smith, NJ-D, has called for the rigorous use of of existing tools like sanctions & keeping those who persecute others out of the US.Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at November 11, 2025 11:52 AM (NFX2v)

I've discussed that elsewhere quite a bit. After the Bar Kochba rebellion the land and population was devastated, but it grew back under Byzantine control, and stayed pretty high until the Crusades began. The Crusades marked 2 centuries of constant warfare, with both sides taking and retaking important areas, and it left the land almost completely depopulated and ruined when it ended (date usually given is 1296) After another couple of centuries it ended up under the control of the Ottomans, who couldn't care less about it as they had other more pressing concerns in other areas they controlled. It was a desolate backwater for at least 5 centuries before the early Zionists began to rebuild it in the late 19th century.Posted by: Tom Servo at November 11, 2025 11:57 AM (uWKK8)

The taking of the oath began before Melania could take her place beside him with the Bible. The ceremony was directed by incompetent and/or malicious democrats. I recall some pointless delays in the proceedings that resulted in the oath being a hurried affair.

I watched Jordan Peterson discussing Alex O'Connor about this.
Alex took the con position in regards to Christianity but he noted that the passion and resurrection of Jesus are a real problem from the anti-Christian side. We have plenty of evidence from people that they say Jesus die and then come back. And you know they were telling what they believed to be true because they faced torture and death for saying this - people will lie to get things, they won't lie to lose them...
Now his take was that while mass delusions are extremely rare, this must be an example of that because the other take - Jesus was divine and came back is less easy to believe.

Richard Carrier is on that beat. I've mentioned him here before as arguing for the authenticity of Paul's core letters and of 1 Clement. That means the Church always had a "high christology" of Jesus being (somehow) Divine. Jesus made Divine claims of himself in postresurrection appearances.
So he'd agree you don't get to be a Christian who thinks Jesus was just some Jew somewhere.
Carrier's point of departure is that Jesus died and was crucified on one of the celestial spheres, not on Earth. So he doesn't think the Gospels are real.Posted by: gKWVE at November 11, 2025 12:17 PM (gKWVE)

319 I unadvisedly read a HuffPo article about why evangelical Christians were so immoral and non-compassionate. It turns out we have vertical morality, which means we obey God even when He directs us to do evil things. The "good" people on the left have horizontal morality, which means they care about other people and consider the impact of their actions on others.
I was distressed that I cannot just laugh this off, because I have hopes for a dear family member that she will overcome her fear of Christian churches that honor God and believe the Bible. But now I better understand her reticence. At her church, the congregants are reassured that they are good people. At our church, we contemplate the goodness of God. Ours is uplifting to the soul, while hers elevates empty self-regard. I want her to be attracted to the Truth.Posted by: Emmie -- be strong and courageous! at November 11, 2025 12:20 PM (FMtrg)

330 "Apparently, the hot, new take is to deny that Jesus Christ even existed."
That tired old trope has come back again. There are plenty of mentions of him in pagan literature of the classical era - mostly dismissive, of course, but still testifying to His having lived.
As another commenter pointed out, the fact that numerous people are willing to give their lives for Him is, if not proof of His divinity, at least proof of how strongly they believed Him to be divine. But to go further and say that all these people gave their lives for a first-century version of Harry Potter, is just plain nuts.Posted by: Nemo at November 11, 2025 12:29 PM (4RPgu)

So is she hot? If she is good looking, it should not be hard for her to find a man willing to marry her and knock her up. She might have to settle for a plumber instead of an investment banker, though.
And if she's a hosebeast, better that she not procreate.Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 11, 2025 12:31 PM (npFr7)

It is. Knocked a mile or two off the trip, too. When you drive over it, you have no real sense of how high it is. The ten miles to west of the bridge, between there and the town of Golden, BC, clings to a rocky slope of shale. They are gradually widening and four-laning that stretch, but it is very expensive because the rock is so fractured.Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 11, 2025 12:36 PM (npFr7)

78 Good reflection on gratitude and how stuff perverts our sense of it. I’ve mentioned this before, the base of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (food, clothing and shelter) are foundational. I think as we progress up and take those things for granted, we tend to lose sight of their importance, get all caught up in desire for more stuff. Junkyards are filled with rusting hulks of garbage that were once people’s dreams. Strange how the more stuff we have, the more we want and mental illness increases.

Following his return to the United States in 1893, Tanner became more racially aware and chose to use artwork including The Thankful Poor as a means of portraying African-American culture in a dignified manner. The painting received praise from critics upon its exhibition in Philadelphia during the spring of 1894, but it is also Tanner's last African-American genre work as the artist began to focus on biblical scenes.
After remaining hidden for years, the painting was discovered in a storage closet of the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf in 1970, before being purchased by Camille and Bill Cosby in 1981 for their private collection. In 2020, the painting was sold by the Cosbys to Art Bridges, a foundation created by Alice Walton for loaning artwork. The Thankful Poor has been exhibited at the National Museum of African Art, and a preparatory study is held by the DuSable Museum of African American History.Posted by: Teresa in Fort Worth, Texas, AoSHQ's Plucky Wee One - Eat the Cheesecake, Buy the Yarn. at November 11, 2025 10:04 AM (HbBXz)

99 The Grateful Poor
Henry Ossawa Tanner
I like this painting a lot as it's sweet and well done, depicting intergenerational kinship.
Art Bridges Foundation org:
In part, Quiet and domestic, the scene depicted in The Thankful Poor suggests a spiritual moment between a young boy and an elderly man. Artist Henry Ossawa Tanner, born to a religious family, often channeled this sense of piety in his paintings over the span of his career. Later recognized for his biblical paintings, Tanner first produced genre scenes of Black American life near the turn of the 20th century. The Thankful Poor is the last known of these works.
The decision to depict Black daily life became clear to the artist during his studies between Paris and Philadelphia, where he was academically trained. While Black subjects appeared in the works of white American artists, such as Winslow Homer and Thomas Eakins, Tanner distinctly prioritized the humanity of his figures. (More)

102 So similar to the Steen painting. Same approach, several centuries later, of family being grateful and appreciative for what they have. A calm scene using natural light to bring out the soft shadows and bright, well cared for dinnerware. Like the Steen painting, there is a sense of continuation through a child, in this case a grandfather and grandson. It's a pleasant motif. While this uses a black family, it could easily be a white one. It wouldn't change the message.
The color scheme and brush work reminds me of Andrew Wyeth. Nothing startling but a gentle combination of similar colors, light gray to soft white and few sharp contrasts.Posted by: JTB at November 11, 2025 10:08 AM (yTvNw)

Materialism is a state of mind and when it replaces the Lord dwelling inside, it warps those poor sods into demonic insatiable desires for more to fill the spiritual abyss inside. So cheaters end up pursuing new partners endlessly, gluttons end up pursuing food endlessly, shopaholics can never buy enough, love of money, power, etc. And it will never fill the hole of ignoring a relationship with the Lord or good relations with family and friends.
We all end up dead and our toys scattered to the winds in this world after. Our memories and peace from what we have done in this world is about all we can seek in our final moments.Posted by: whig at November 11, 2025 10:34 AM (WDjG6)

172 The insurance bit made me think of something as well.
I buy warranties for used cars. They’ve always been profitable for me.** I could have the work down at an Indy mechanic or the dealer. I don’t pay for it so dealer it is at twice the cost. Not that they necessarily do a better job but when it’s time to sell the car buyers get wet and bothered if they see the car is dealer maintained.
But it’s part of why dealers get away with charging so much. When the end user doesn’t pay, they can charge whatever they want.
** most plans are rip offs. There are two companies that provide exclusionary polices and back them up. If you get one of those and drive an expensive to fix car you’re usually going to end up in the black. It’s the Doug DeMuro gambit. Any German or his forbid British car is almost guaranteed to come out ahead with the plan. I had one plan pay about $25k worth of repairs in 3 years.
These plans are kind of loss leaders for the companies I think. The real money is from non-exclusionary contracts which never pay for anything.

I got rid of my professional library at my office and home upon retiring and since then have been ruthlessly getting rid of more and more books. Figure I have gotten rid of about 2k books and have about the same left to winnow.
Ebooks, for all their problems have been almost all of my new acquisitions and since most are classics out of copyright or cheap enough, far easier to deal with than the more expensive printed books.

No. She never goes away. She's always involved with "policy."
Regarding NYC: She's still a professor at Columbia University and holds two appointments which began in 2023:
>Professor of Practice at the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA).
>Presidential Fellow at Columbia World Projects (CWP).
Chelsea Clinton, also at Columbia University, has served as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Mailman School of Public Health since 2012, where she teaches graduate classes on health policy and management. (As with the Clinton Foundation.)
Further, she has an apartment with hubby and kids in Manhattan's NoMad neighborhood, in front of Madison Square Park.

190 139- your comment and Nurse’s hit home. I spent years trying to make someone happy with stuff. “I’d be happy if I had an rv, a lot in the blue ridge mountains, a vacation home” But nothing made her happy, because you choose happiness (internal locus of control) choosing to be grateful, to literally count your blessings is a huge part of that. That’s why despair is a sin, because it’s evidence for a lack of gratitude for all you have. And it leads to discarding things of real value, as Nurse notes. It’s the classic Faustian bargain, trading your soul and the real gifts of life for ephemeral trash.Posted by: Farmer Bob at November 11, 2025 10:43 AM (hlNLQ)

MP4,
Saw your book thread post, and came up with a possible promotion technique. Was watching Rick Beato and he mentioned that record labels are now using the number of social media followers as a measure of whether to sign an act.
You might try TikTok (which can also be ported to YT shorts) short form 1-2 minute videos that highlight learned commentary on silent films, that in turn allows you to market your books. Pop out one or two per week and see what happens and interact with the commenters on the videos.
Build enough followers for your niche, then you might be able to leverage that into being signed by a press.
The longer form YT videos, 10-15 minutes usually, like TJM is trying out take a lot more time and effort and aiming at the yute market who prefer shorts might be a new and novel way to cheaply market and create a market for your books.Posted by: whig at November 11, 2025 10:43 AM (WDjG6)

I have several thousand books left from a lifetime of accumulation but in a lot of cases, I have no desire to reread what I have read and simply kept them from sloth and the vague intentions that I might reread them or need them for some research project.
With increasing disabilities, I find paper books harder and harder to deal with for some tasks and for research purposes, often an electronic search is far quicker than a poorly indexed work.
It also helps that Ebooks allow minimal gross movements to flip pages and the paperwhite Kindles are actually pretty decent about being able to alter text size, etc. I did download the several hundred ebooks before Kindle closed the door on possessing your own books this year just in case and I have an old Kindle capable of dealing with those if I need it.
Print has a charm and connection to me for some books but a lot of mine are utilitarian in nature and detritus of an academic career. My fiction is largely in paperbacks except for compilations of short stories, etc.Posted by: whig at November 11, 2025 10:54 AM (WDjG6)

Any organization has its own imperatives such as setting boundaries as to who belongs and who doesn't, what shall be taught, etc. and once you have professionals, good works, and buildings, then how to raise funds for them in a systematic way.
And you have to have an authoritative voice to prevent heresies from cropping up as most of the earliest church fathers were either apostles, taught by apostles, and knew people that were actually present for many of the events. It is not a surprise that after living memory of generations faded of the time of Christ, that heresies began to bloom such as Arius. Always tickled me that St. Nicholas, yeah, that guy, was reputed to have bopped Arius on his head for heresy promotion during the Nicean Conference.
FWIW, the basilica foundations that may have held that Nicean conference has recently emerged from a lake in Turkey due to dropping water levels.Posted by: whig at November 11, 2025 11:00 AM (WDjG6)

They live in hells of their own making and when they die, no one will much be sorry to see them go except perhaps family and those on retainer--sometimes not even them. And they leave this world just as we do with nothing-no power, no agency, no money while perhaps forfeiting their eternal salvation for their stay on this earth.

244 78 Good reflection on gratitude and how stuff perverts our sense of it. I’ve mentioned this before, the base of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (food, clothing and shelter) are foundational. I think as we progress up and take those things for granted, we tend to lose sight of their importance, get all caught up in desire for more stuff. Junkyards are filled with rusting hulks of garbage that were once people’s dreams. Strange how the more stuff we have, the more we want and mental illness increases.

The Morning Report — 11/11/25
The fold likely reinforces the convictions held by many voters on the Left that Washington Democrats are giving them mere lip service and threatens Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) continued hold on his leadership position.
Meh, pass the popcorn and let them tear each other apart. That said, unfortunately for us normal human beings, there will be no Mutually Assured Destruction. Regardless of which faction comes out on top, their common trait of an unslakable thirst for absolute power while defecating on our mass grave, after squeezing every last drop of blood and treasure from our bodies means that the Democrat Left or whatever brand name it might change into will still remain. So, whether Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk are/were both flashes in the pan, what they both have managed to achieve in a very short time has the potential to blossom into the complete undoing of the Leftist enterprise. Whether that comes about in our lifetimes or if at all remains to be seen. But that said, the forces of darkness and evil and their instrumentality of destruction with its epicenter in the Democrat Party will not rest and will resort to greater and greater levels of violence to conquer us.
Today, we see familiar signs of foreign wars on our own streets: the normalization of political violence, the collapse of enforcement authority, the ideological capture of civil institutions, and the strategic demoralization of those still willing to stand post. These are no longer foreign indicators, but domestic realities. What we are seeing in the streets of Chicago and New York is not random violence; it is the very thing we swore an oath to protect against. It is insurgent in nature, symbolic in purpose, and deeply strategic in effect. When Border Patrol agents are ambushed in an American city, it is not merely a crime; it is an assault on the institution charged with upholding the boundary of American citizenship. Citizenship is more than paperwork. It is the covenant that binds a people; the shared rights, duties, and the consent to govern ourselves together. Without it, sovereignty is an empty word. . . We’ve reached a point where the narrative surrounding immigration enforcement has been fully inverted. Those upholding the law are portrayed as tyrants, aggressors, and racists, while those obstructing it are framed as defenders of freedom and justice. . . . . . This Veterans Day, we must say the quiet part out loud: the war we fought abroad has come home. The difference is that we no longer call it war. We call it politics. We call it protest. We call it compassion. But we know the truth. We were trained to recognize insurgency, subversion, and the collapse of legitimate authority. We were trained to defend boundaries, not just lines on a map, but the moral and legal foundations of a free nation. That fight is now ours again.
At the height of the anti Vietnam War Protests that raged on streets and campuses across the country, culminating in the shooting at Kent State in May of 1970 the rallying cry of the Leftists was "Bring the War Home!" And here we are 55 years later and the war is at home. In many ways it is a civil war and fought not just with bullets, bricks, molotov cocktails and such but with subversion and treachery as was amply demonstrated by Clinton, Comey, Brennan et al who subverted the institutions and agencies that are there to keep us safe and free by turning them into heinous tools of oppression and repression made all the more uglier than the Gestapo, Stasi and KGB by virtue of the fact that they sprang from among us right here in the bastion and stronghold of freedom and liberty or what was supposed to be those. Considering we have not fired a literal volley back at the enemy, and certainly not committed any pre-emotive or unprovoked acts of violence on them, it's not much of a war is it. It's more of a simmering pogrom against us. Again, happy and blessed Veterans Day to you all, and long live the cause of freedom - OUR CAUSE, Here and now in this hour! And may the terrible swift sword of justice and vengeance smite those who seek our destruction. Amen.

16 This Veterans Day, we must say the quiet part out loud: the war we fought abroad has come home.
It was always home. The inherent malignancy of Islam notwithstanding, much of the nature of international political Islam was conceived in Langley, Virginia, probably initially as a weapon against the eternal enemy - Russia (or the USSR, as it was then).
The western ICs then pushed the globohomo agenda everywhere. Via propaganda where possible, and color revolutions where required. Until we can accept that we were the architects of all that has happened, we cannot properly address the fallout from our actions.Posted by: I used to have a different nic at November 11, 2025 07:42 AM (ExV1e)

43 In his interview with Coleman Hughes this week (posted here on YouTube), Victor Davis Hanson recalled the scene in which Homer Parrish’s loss of his arms is denigrated in front of Fred by the soda fountain customer who earnestly instructs Homer, “We fought the wrong people, that’s all.”
Homer asks him, “Look here, Mister, what are you selling, anyway?” The customer claims not to be selling anything but “plain, old-fashioned Americanism.”
Fred is the soda jerk working behind the counter. He comes to Homer’s defense, jumping over the counter to deck the customer. He explains to his boss as he strips off his apron, “Don’t say it, chum. The customer is always right, but this customer wasn’t right.” I thought until recently that this scene might be unrealistic, but Tucker Carlson has made it real.

When management finally decided how they were gonna handle things - stupidly, as it turns out - I got scheduled for two hours of meetings every single workday until my last day. I've managed, so far, to get one of those meetings canceled.
The Indians are trained on the normal operations. Everyone is all concerned over them accomplishing the most impactful task my job entails even though it's also the most straightforward AND the process is extensively, one might say exhaustively, documented.
The effort has also gotten one group of Indians to light a fire under the behinds of another group of Indians to get a task completed which needed to be done a year ago so that group one can do less work.
All in all... it's going okay.Posted by: I used to have a different nic at November 11, 2025 08:02 AM (ExV1e)

Go make random virtual walks down any third world city or town and note the architecture and "Curb Appeal". Whether its Mexico City, Lebanon or Cape Town, its all the same: mason walls topped with broken glass, razor wire surrounding gated doors and barred first floor windows..

The move reverses FDA action to apply the warning more than two decades ago. It’s been praised by some medical professionals as “far overdue” and a reversal of the “greatest single failure of the modern medical system.”
“Women have used HRT products for decades to relieve menopausal symptoms,” an HHS press release sent to The Daily Wire said. “However, their use plummeted in the early 2000s when the FDA applied boxed warnings following a Women’s Health Initiative study that found a statistically non-significant increase in the risk of breast cancer diagnosis.

I will also remind people not to be blinded by the secular materialist view of the world. We are spiritual creatures and God has put forth His power and are driving the demons back. We all felt the oppression, and now we're getting used to breathing a little easier.
There is panic among the Enemy's minions. They are filled with rage, irrational, fuming, crying out and lashing out. Do not mistake this for strength. We know how they acted when they were strong - arrogant, confident, "history" was on their side. All of that is changing. Yesterday I went to the local chain pet store where I get my cat's weird special food and the giant display of two gay guys (holding a gerbil, no less!) was gone. This is just one more example of how the Woke tide is receding.
The fight continues, but we will win. Never for get that.
Oh, and today is the feat day of St. Martin of Tours, Roman soldier turned bishop. May he pray for all veterans, living and dead.Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at November 11, 2025 08:30 AM (ZOv7s)

Yeah. The closest I come to automatically seeing a movie just because someone is in it is Jason Statham. And that's just cuz you know that movie is gonna be dumb a violent and I enjoy those movies. I won't see it in the theater but I'll watch it eventually.
Don't care about celebrity endorsements either. Not products, not politicians, not issues. She's a young woman with an okay face - really pretty when she smiles and is animated - and big tits.

Apology Demand: She said “Jeans were invented by us, for us. It’s a Black legacy.”
That’s what Dawn Staley is claiming while DEMANDING a national apology from American Eagle because they picked Sydney Sweeney over Angel Reese for a modeling campaign.
This is the same Dawn Staley who has spent the last year turning college sports into a racial purity test and acting like any success from a white athlete is somehow “stolen.”
Let’s be serious:
• Jeans were invented in 1873
• By Levi Strauss (a German-Jewish immigrant) and Jacob Davis
• In California
• For gold miners
• Not the WNBA.
Not Division 1 basketball.
And definitely not Dawn Staley’s “Black legacy.”
This isn’t activism.
This is gatekeeping fame and resentment disguised as empowerment.
Angel Reese is doing just fine.
Sydney Sweeney is doing just fine.
There is enough success for everyone.
But Dawn wants credit, control, and a culture war, not unity.
Nobody owes an apology for choosing an actress for a clothing ad.
The only apology needed is from Dawn Staley,
for trying to racialize fashion, sports, womanhood, and now jeans.Posted by: rickb223 at November 11, 2025 08:35 AM (P58QN)

Looks like Tucker was always just an actor harvesting faux “sincerity” to harvest clicks. Now he’s moving to be an apologist for Maduro, the Cartels, and Boko Haram of all things.
And I believe what really has been playing out has been a move to split Trumps support and neutralize his effectiveness by a well financed effort to take over TPUSA led by Carlson, Candace, and Fuentes, backed by money from Qatar, arranged by Carlson who had a very friendly visit with the Emir there.

173 Cash in U.S. bank packaging seized from suspects
"I still can’t grasp the scale of NABU’s hit on the corrupt. This isn’t a joke. The President’s partner from ‘Kvartal 95’ and the favorite energy minister from the circle of traitor Andrii Derkach, this isn’t some clownish jokes about ebonite sticks. I’ll publish a series of posts to break this down. The basic fact is this: Zelenskyy himself is not at risk. De jure he is protected from investigations by both NABU and the FBI. That said, their interest will be perfectly natural because Zelenskyy’s ‘nuclear grifters’ had bundles of dollars seized that were still in American bank packaging (you can see it in the largest photo on the screenshot). They didn’t even bother to switch the cash into Ukrainian ‘wrappings’: straight off the plane from the U.S., packed for kickbacks. And that, so to speak, will sharpen the interest of investigators across the ocean," the journalist wrote. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3584303Posted by: SMOD at November 11, 2025 08:45 AM (RHGPo)

In the spring of 1919, he was assigned to a parade unit (since he was a bugler) and as such he got to serve as Black Jack Pershing's guard of honor, marching through the Arc de Triomphe and playing before Buckingham Palace. Kind of a sweet gig, but he was terribly homesick.
His letters say that morale in the unit was at rock bottom because word had gotten out that VD cases were being held overseas until the condition cleared up, and so lots of "Dear John" letters were coming into the unit.Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at November 11, 2025 08:53 AM (ZOv7s)

I no longer blame many of these people for their bullshit, scams and lunatic ravings. They are who they are, and they make it really obvious.
It's the fault of their marks. They know they can say just about anything and be fine, because as long as they occasionally say something the audience really, really wants to hear, years of idiocy will be immediately forgotten in milliseconds.
One of the starkest examples of this was during the King's first reign.

Thank you. But there was really no sacrifice involved. I was doing something I loved and getting paid for it.

If this is not a the impetus for universal healthcare I cannot fathom what is.
I’m tired of this narrative that Democratic leadership and the DNC are just out-of-touch and incompetent. They’re actively complicit controlled opposition. One business party, two factions.
Well, this probably helps AOC if she tries to primary Schumer. Is that a win?
Dems lost just one yard from the goal post. Schumer screwed this up because he plays poker like a guy afraid to lose money.
Republicans were never going to cave. The end game was to point out Republicans had a chance to lower ACA cost and said f the poor.
When subsidies expire and people see what it does to affordability, Dems may be able to say “see, we warned you" during the midterms. Assuming voters act rationally...

It concluded that Harvard’s current grading system is ‘damaging the academic culture of the College.’”
Had a friend who worked at Harvard over two decades ago, and even then grade inflation was prevalent. She told me roughly 75% of students graduated with honors.

Army Commendation. The state PAO put me in for it. My mission was to hijack some media coverage for deployed Michigan Guardsmen at Ramstein, including a photo op with Michigan State's team. Total success, the columnists mentioned the meeting, some photos ran, and the radio broadcast carried a shout-out the families whose members were serving. When I got back the colonel purred like six kittens and I made E7.
Ramstein PA didn't know what to make of me because I wasn't supposed to be there, but since I'd already done a deployment, I b.s'd my way into getting a workspace. Very much a Catch-22/MASH situation.

If he was Army (and Army Air Corp), his primary records may have been destroyed in a St Louis Records warehouse fire in the late 60's. Fold3 from ancestry dot com service has digitized a lot of those military records remaining and rebuilt some via other government records such as land grant applications etc (useful for way back when land grants for vets was common) along with Civil War pension records.
Navy and Marines have their own records which AFAIK are complete more or less.
Fold3 has also digitized a lot of things like basic training yearbooks etc. that are quasi official.
In some cases, if you know the theater he was in, you can also go to the National Archives for war related records such as unit histories, disciplinary records, etc., some of those records are online via digitizing but most require actually travel to the correct National Archives facility holding the documents.Posted by: whig at November 11, 2025 09:22 AM (WDjG6)

In the United States, November is recognized as National Military Family Appreciation Month, established in 1993 by the Armed Services YMCA, and it is a time to acknowledge the contributions and sacrifices of military families. This month-long observance includes Veterans Day on November 11, which commemorates the end of World War I and honors all veterans for their service and sacrifice. The U.S. government has annually recognized this month since 1996.Posted by: I used to have a different nic at November 11, 2025 09:23 AM (ExV1e)

Listening to 2WAY's Morning Meeting right now and Dan Turrentine says that Veterans Day used to be an unambiguously patriotic and inspiring day for all --but unfortunately the military is getting all politicized with things like "If you believe in DEI, you're out" happening. Sure Jan. Dan. Whatever. As if injecting DEI into the military to begin with wasn't political. And as if ditching it to get back to mission readiness is political.

Nope. Contact my unit. They don't have it. Contact Saint Louis. They don't have anything. Find out that I have to contact Quantico. And the building was on a skeleton crew due to a transformer blowing up.
Finally reach a person. Prepare to drive to Quantico and fax (Yes, fax) my requested record to the VA. But I had a government email and got the document with one hour to spare.Posted by: NR Pax at November 11, 2025 09:29 AM (7xrfc)

John Adams himself had to make nice with King George III as American ambassador to UK despite King George and his troops ignoring the rules of war quite frequently including vicious and inhumane treatment of prisoners on prison ships. Twas always thus.
Moralistic foreign policy always ends up failing because regimes worldwide are often run by nasty killers that climbed to the top job on a host of bodies.
Real politick in IR often results in the US getting into bed with all sorts of evil critters to make nice before the cameras. So, it is kind of picking your poison going forward and the average citizen suffers most as in most of what government does.

I would guess that lawyers for the Blaze got a nasty gram from the woman's lawyer disputing the story and to avoid compounding any risk, Beck was told to stay schtum on repeating the name.

Hey There gp - your old Asia Hand Publius is here to tell you, having lived in HK for 7 years (+Singapore for 1) and travelling the PRC extensively AND having been part of the insurance programs for large PRC/PRC contractor-led civil construction projects, and for solar, hydro wind, the concept that the PRC is outpacing us in any facet, of anything, is really utter nonsense. I have never seen such poor quality workmanship, cutting corners and gross failure in the construction setting as that which occurs in the PRC. Complete crap building. Also - everything they say (gov statistics etc.) is an outright lie and to be dismissed out-of-hand.
I really do worry about the three gorges dam.

69 Syracuse native here.
Besides the Syracuse / Utica areas in upstate NY being historically a hotbed of classic Mafia activity, the local politicians have a history of greed & corruption as well. Most famous example was Mayor Lee Alexander - was a highflier - President of the National Mayor's Association, widely viewed as headed for higher office, built a LOT of local infrastructure - and.... it all came tumbling down when he got too greedy and crossways of the local mob. He hurriedly resigned after anon death threats and firebombing of his home - once out of power and no longer "protected" evidence of massive kickbacks from all that building emerged and he ended up serving time in prison. Afterwards ironically worked as maître d at a local Italian restaurant. His son is still a prominent local attorney.
More recently - we have a local Mega Mall big enuf to be a tourist shopping attraction. Was originally IN the city limits - the city mayor etc publicly kept trying to "renegotiate" the agreed on terms of the build project - I suspect privately "renegotiating" as well - so eventually they built it outside city limits.

And one of the ever helpful employees explained that they were out of the one product, and implied that capitalism had caused the shortage of the stuff.
I then pointed out that the beauty of capitalism is that under our system, if a business entity identified a need, that entity had the ability to step up and fill that need. And usually at a profit to the business, and with the benefit of additional employment opportunities for workers. Which then allowed those workers to spend a portion of their paycheck, stimulating the economy as well.

Having been to Berkeley for 6 months and now back home I can say what a shit show that is considering the University is part of the California University system. Much like Portland without the ICE building to swarm. Everyone is so high most of the time, that you don't know who is sane and those that are not. Its not the place where any one would want to live outside of the University. And that is questionable.

106 The government has finally admitted that chemtrails are real.
AI summary says that this is not the case.
Right-wing news summary says "(t)he claim that the government has admitted chemtrails are real is not supported by credible evidence and is widely disputed."
Left-wing news summary says "(t)he claim that the government has admitted chemtrails are real is false."
Every single legitimate news agency says that chemtrails are fake.

108 As we watch both the State of Maryland, and the city of Baltimore wrestle with the fact that juvenile crime is destroying the State and the city, it is oddly humorous to watch the two positions on juvenile incarceration collide.
On one hand, the position is that jailing juveniles impacts the black community disproportionately.

On the other hand, NOIT jailing them leaves the black community unprotected, and allows them to continue to prey on the community.

109 How do you beat Antifa? You make them the object of near universal scorn and ridicule. Condition the public to hear their bullshit and immediately think "Oh God, you're one of those..."
How do you do that?
You stay out of their way as the videos of them being horrible continue to abound, and do every thing in your power to disseminate those videos to the public at large. Get it off of X and on to the national news. Let them make it impossible to ignore the problem that they are. Make it incandescently obvious that the State in which they do this shit, which is responsible for enforcing its Laws, refuses to enforce its Laws.
Arresting a dozen assholes here and there does nothing productive in the grand scheme of the war we're in. Do it once in a while just for the headline, sure, but you can't physically kill them all, just in terms of it being "do-able". You have to kill the ideology. You do that by letting the ideology kill itself.

Peter Thiel: If you graduated in 1970 with no student debt, compare that to the millennial experience: too many people go to college, they don’t learn anything, and they end up with incredibly burdensome debt. Student debt is a version of this generational conflict that I’ve talked about for a long time. ...
It’s extremely difficult these days for young people to become homeowners.

192 I didn’t realize that Bram Moolenaar who authored vim passed way two years ago. I’ve probably used vim more than any software over the course of my life. Well the vim group has said they are going to have to drop he charity support for Uganda. If you have used vim before you remember that he always donated some amount of the money they get donated to some Uganda outfit, for aids I think. That ended last month.
I only mention it because that was a complaint that IT gave me for installing vim, “we can’t! It supports a strange country” until it was standard on common distros then they were all suddenly fine with it. Their problem, as was often the case, was laziness.Posted by: banana Dream at November 11, 2025 07:38 AM (3uBP9)

194 Why would Micron favor Idaho over New York *State*?
Are you kidding me? NY *State* is a blue-stronghold red-tape DEI shithole.
Idaho is not.
Perhaps more importantly, the US based core of Micron's operations has always been in Idaho. That's where Micron is headquartered (and always has been), and there's long been jobs-training programs in place to provide trained workers for the programs there. The facilities just outside Boise have their own dedicated, expansion-ready power lines and substations from Idaho Power, and can rely on nice, cheap hydroelectricity. There's also already an over-sized (built with expansion in mind...) on-campus cryogenics / liquid gas plant on that site, Micron owns all the adjacent land, and there's no neighbors to encroach upon, so the Boise site is quite ripe for expansion.
The New York stuff all has to be built from the ground up, including the basic infrastructure (power, sewer, etc), and all that in a blue-state, red-tape situation.
The Idaho site has little red tape, an established relationship with the community (including jobs training), and was overbuilt with expansion in mind from the get-go.

I thought I had heard every reason not to go on vacation until I read: Bear attacks in northeastern Japan deflate tourism amid peak fall foliage
MORIOKA (Kyodo) -- A steady stream of bear attacks in northeastern Japan is turning some tourists away from the region, hitting local businesses hard during the normally busy season of peak fall foliage. In the Tohoku region, hotel bookings at hot spring resorts have declined sharply, public access to areas is often limited after bear sightings, and local governments are warning visitors to be vigilant about potential bear encounters. With no immediate signs that tourists are likely to turn up at levels seen in previous years, businesses that rely on the traditionally lucrative period before winter are facing an uncertain future. In the Gembi area of Ichinoseki, Iwate Prefecture, a man was found dead outside his house in late October after being fatally attacked by a bear.

64 Apparently, there are 2 types of bears in Japan. They have the Japanese Black Bear, which is vegetarian, almost extinct, and basically a big pussy.
Then there's the Ussuri Brown Bear. Those are some real mf'ers. The worst attack by one of those was in 1915. It attacked a village twice. After the first attack, it came back and attacked the funeral procession for the victims of its first attack.

Diversity fatigue. I actually worked for an India Indian computer company in Ohio
But if you really want diversity, there was a Canadian kid's show called "I Woke Up a Vampire" which was actually pretty good but the diversity. A girl turns 13 and finds out she's a vampire.
The girl is asian. Adopted by a black family. White male friend who works for a middle eastern guy at a comic book store. It put Star Trek to shame. And that's not even close to the most diverse show or movie.
If you have have inter-racial gay couples like 'Popularity Papers', you can check off a lot of boxes.

161 We don't go to theaters for movies and wait to stumble onto them online. Because we think we'd possibly be considered lunatics as we both laugh at weird stuff. Especially if the movie is pretty bad to begin with.
Dante's Peak with Pierce Brosnan is the one we laughed at tonight. In the traumatic lava scenes, etc. It was retarded.
For starters we saw him after the Eurostar brought us back to London from Paris with our then HS sons in 1999. Pierce was not yet married to his wife, and had the two children with him. The youngest, a toddler son, was screaming his head off from a stroller and Pierce, 007 himself, was pushing the stroller, saying quietly, "shutupshutupshutup."
Baby mama, now wife, had gone to the front of the customs line and was overheard by all saying, "Do you know who he is?" The customs guy told her to go to the end of the line and most of us smirked. She had a huge carry cart of LV luggage.
Our youngest son was star struck and I asked him not to stare. He then got mad at me, saying, "This is the first famous person I have seen!,"but they were behind us like peasants and didn't hear.
Since then I think of Pierce being defeated by his toddler son when I see him.Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at November 10, 2025 10:40 PM (MAl//)

165 149 Back when I just started as a baby DA, the cops were doing prostitution stings. They would lure a ho to a hotel room wired for video and sound. Reviewing the tapes, I expected a French Connection style, "Freeze, m*th*rf*cker!" Instead, she comes in, strips down, and waves her money maker in the undercover's face. Then his partner wanders in chomping on a big hoagie in his face and says, "Alright. Get dressed. You're under arrest."

200 My late MIL would probably clean a window like that. She was very OCD and lived without a speck of dust motes in the air, or a crumb on a counter. Just another reason to be horrified that her son picked me to marry.
When they came to visit in FL our sons remember me being a psycho lunatic to try to get our house clean. She always found something, even when I was feeling pretty good about it. Once, doing the dishes with me, she was helpful in telling me I needed to wrap yarn around a coathanger to clean the coils under the fridge. Which meant she was, at some point that visit, on her hands and knees looking under our fridge. My co-workers loved these horror stories when I'd tell them of her.
She and her spinster daughter would scrub walls twice a year as if they lived in London during coal fires. Plus wash the drapes twice a year. I do neither, by the way.
When she died my husband, on our realtor friend's advice, had to put charcoal in her immaculate condo. It reeked of cleaning solutions and moth balls. Seriously toxic levels (we had to air out our coats and sweaters after visits). We are pretty sure this explains a lot about the two of them.Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at November 10, 2025 10:54 PM (MAl//)

204 Good even', y'all. Howdy, MisHum. Your usual hearty ONT, Thanky.
Before I get caught up on ~150 comments, a weather report. Two days ago, our high temperature was near 70. Then that wintry blast rolled in, bringing us down to the 20s last night. High only in the low 40s today, 20s again tonight.
We prepared as needed. Plants in from the front porch. Hoses drained, spigots covered. Thick hay mulch over the flower and herb gardens. Trying to remember how to dress for the cold. Been three decades since those long wintery months we suffered through in Chicago. (Heard they're having snow up there.)
But come Friday it'll be up in the 70s again, almost 80, with gusty winds out of the South, probably a couple of days of rain, but certainly not snow. Oklahoma in November. It was of this hyar Sooner State that Will Rogers quipped, if you don't like the weather, wait a minute.

Latest Attempt at Nuking Tracfone Moto g pure XT2163DL Android Malware 251110
GOALS: Kill MyHub malware app; Detach as much as possible from Google; Stop unwanted apps from installing themselves.
PROCEDURE: On a separate PC, I deleted ALL files from my Google Drive, in a best-effort attempt to delete any files that Drive might sync with the Android phone when it boots. But who can guess what other, non-Drive, resyncing persistent stores those a-holes have on their servers?
I went to motorola.com, (which now has a partner previously unknown to me, Lenovo,) and used their Win PC tool (“Software Fix,” a really stupid name for “Motorola Android Phone Firmware Reflash,” but whatever,) and their original factory firmware file, and a USB cable, to reflash it.Posted by: gp at November 10, 2025 11:04 PM (7imtn)

After the reflash, I went through all the initial setup steps, being very careful not to put my Google Login credentials in, and declining ALL prompts to “restore my data and/or apps.” Apparently, there is a mandatory “Accept” for a couple of “Google Services” which operate (presumably) without a Google Login; there was NO visible option to “Decline” or “Skip” that sh!t. (The a-holes can identify that it’s MY phone by its IMEI, at the very least.)
I note that the phone asked for my old PIN in here somewhere, even though the reflash was supposed to be, you know, a farging REAL reflash that was supposed to nuke ALL my old credentials and data.
After several broken promises that my “Phone is All Setup Now” (cycling through a couple repetitions of prior ‘Hell NO’ steps,) I went to Settings|Apps and immediately began uninstalling the sh!t apps that allow themselves to be uninstalled, and “disabling” the sh!t apps that won’t allow uninstall but do allow “Disable,” as if anybody believes they are really disabled.Posted by: gp at November 10, 2025 11:05 PM (7imtn)

Sure enough, there was farging MyHub (malware IMHO) again, not uninstallable, but “disableable,” which does jacksh!t IMHO. Sure enough, sh!t apps installed themselves as fast as I could uninstall them: TikTok, Temu, Pinterest, a sh!t-ton of sh!t games, etc.
After one session of this, when the apps seemed to stop installing themselves, I smooth-powered off the phone. Then I turned it back on, and let it idle for a while, to see what happens next.
Now more “Notifications.” ‘Mobile Services Manager’ now claims the blame for installing all the sh!t apps, except for MyHub (it has also now installed “GamesHub.”. In Settings|Apps, it mysteriously calls itself “Games” instead of “GamesHub,” and cannot be uninstalled, only “disabled.” Happy Happy Joy Joy.)Posted by: gp at November 10, 2025 11:05 PM (7imtn)
230 4/4
At this point, I have 47 apps. I went into Settings|Display to change the ridiculously short default screen timeout from 30 secs to 30 mins. I will do no other work or installs for awhile.
My next step after ‘awhile’ is to look in Settings for any other system updates that it might want to apply.
Then after a decent interval, I shall install a GPS compass app I really DO need for my radio-direction-finding setup. It comes from the Google Play Store app, of course, which I have been promised I can use without a Google Login; we shall see.
PS: I did not setup any Tracfone stuff. I do not use this thing as a phone at all, just as a portable computer.Posted by: gp at November 10, 2025 11:05 PM (7imtn)

"We would go months without bathing, except when we could stand naked among each other next to a village well or in a stream or in the muddy water of a bomb crater. It was nothing to begin walking at midnight, laden with packs and weapons and ammunition and supplies, seventy pounds or more of gear, and still be walking when the sun broke over mud-slick paddies..."

353 I axed Grok:
"Hi! Here's a poser: can you calculate the total gross annual solar insolation for an entire country? I need it for the USA and for China."
Grok replied:
Land areas (excluding inland water bodies, as solar potential is primarily land-based):
USA: 9,147,593 km² (9.147593 × 10¹² m²
China: 9,388,211 km² (9.388211 × 10¹² m²
Average annual insolation (global horizontal irradiance, GHI, based on long-term meteorological data):
USA: ~1,460 kWh/m²/year (equivalent to ~4.0 kWh/m²/day × 365 days)
China: ~1,643 kWh/m²/year (equivalent to ~4.5 kWh/m²/day × 365 days; derived from 5,860 MJ/m²/year ÷ 3.6 MJ/kWh)
So land areas are about equal, and China has a slight edge on insolation. There is some very quasi-math-like stuff I could say about how this is calculated, but who needs that crap at midnight? Not me.Posted by: gp at November 11, 2025 12:46 AM (7imtn)

358 OK, I inflicted my math on Grok:
"Question: does this calculation include consideration for variation of insolation by latitude? When I think of a way to calculate it, I think of it as taking the closed integral of a function that includes boundaries of an area, and a gradient of insolation along one axis."
Grok glazed me, as usual, for being so f'n smart, and gleefully recalculated:
**True total insolation (integral)**
USA: **13.76 million TWh/year**
China: **15.02 million TWh/year** |
| **Effective average**
USA: 1,505 kWh/m²/year
China: 1,600 kWh/m²/year
**Winner?**
**China** (by ~9%)

Best way to deal with innerspring mattresses would be to burn them in a real hot fire, so the springs get heated red hot. That would draw the temper of the spring steel wire, making it compactable. Same with tires. And car seats, etc. Efficient incinerators built for the purpose could reduce a lot of that trash to recyclable metal bales, and provide some energy at the same time.Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 11, 2025 01:32 AM (npFr7)

389 If the install lifetime is 25 years, what happens if your roof fails during that interval? Do you have to tear off the solar, then work on the roof, then reinstall the solar? $$$$$$$
Posted by: gp
-------
You call up the company that installed them, tell them that you're having your roof done, and they will come out, remove the panels and stack them out of the way, and coil all the wiring up so that the roofers can work around them. When the roof is done, they will come back, reinstall.the panels and connect them back up.
It cost me $30/panel.last year to have this done. With 30 panels that came to.$900. Certainly not $$$$$$$. Incidentally, the panels were 7 years old at the time. I expect to be long dead by the time they need replaced.Posted by: buddhaha at November 11, 2025 01:42 AM (C+UIq)

Yeah, fiberglass resin - polyester sticks well to clean steel. That's what autobody fillers are composed of. The stuff I was using is commonly called "kitty hair", and it's long strands, maybe 2-3" of glass fiber suspended in a gelled polyester resin. Tough stuff to work the hardener into, but it has decent structural strength once it sets up. Then there is a filler made of milled glass fibers, much easier to work, some structural strength, but less than kitty hair. Both it and the kitty hair are essentially waterproof once set up, so good for patching rust holes, etc. Then you have various grades of polyester filling putty, aka "bondo" (which is a brand name). Designed to be easy to sand to a smooth paintable surface, very little structural strength, and often porous, so needs a coat primer and paint to prevent water from soaking in.Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 11, 2025 01:59 AM (npFr7)

Heh! I thought about forming an aluminum patch, and riveting it over the hole. There's sound deadener and carpet over it; nobody would ever see it. But I went with a scrap of 1/4" wire mesh, screwed it down with small sheet metal screws, formed it by tugging here and there with pliers so it stood clear of the bump on the transmission, and then glommed on the kitty hair. Once that has set up, I will lightly pass a flap wheel over it, and put the carpet back. It will make a very tiny bump in the passenger footwell, and I doubt anyone would notice it unless their attention is called to it. You look at the footwells of modern cars, and they have lumps like Sydney Sweeney's chest.Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 11, 2025 02:06 AM (npFr7)

He had the push button shift, but were putting in the floor shifter from a '73 dodge duster, so I have to do some adjusting and weld in the brackets for it. I can't let him do it, he'll make a nightmare of it.

Hey There gp - your old Asia Hand Publius is here to tell you, having lived in HK for 7 years (+Singapore for 1) and travelling the PRC extensively AND having been part of the insurance programs for large PRC/PRC contractor-led civil construction projects, and for solar, hydro wind, the concept that the PRC is outpacing us in any facet, of anything, is really utter nonsense. I have never seen such poor quality workmanship, cutting corners and gross failure in the construction setting as that which occurs in the PRC. Complete crap building. Also - everything they say (gov statistics etc.) is an outright lie and to be dismissed out-of-hand.

Not that many famous people but certainly a lot of rich people. At the time it was the biggest resort hotel in the Caribbean and people came from all over the world.
One famous person I did get to meet was Mickey Mantle. There used to be a fantastic bar that was sort of indoor/outdoor depending on the weather and the wall of windows they could open up. Fantastic view of the ocean. Mickey was sitting at the bar one day holding court. Super nice guy.

40 Love Scotland but enjoyed Ireland as well. One ruins of a castle in Ireland (somewhere near Killarney)...and I think Ballycargery Castle. I am very vague with details when I travel. I know I did not kiss the Blarney Stone as, well, I am neurotic. I was there, however.
Anyway, to get up to the castle ruins we had to walk through a pasture with Irish cows eating new spring grass. Which gave them bad diarrhea (I prefer our toddler son's words: dire rear). I still remember my DIL laughing as I pushed my way through the cows which were following them. The rest of them being not country girls were alarmed about the cows. I was mostly alarmed because they all had dire rear.
A holy place on the drive was Muckross Abbey. I seriously wanted to be buried there and I was reasonably sober at the time. Super mad at Cromwell for destroying it.
I am glad we went with our son and DIL pre grandchildren to various countries. He was always our tour guide and personal driver.Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at November 10, 2025 07:20 PM (MAl//)

Zombie, you've put in more than your dues going to these hellholes over the years. Sit back with a drink and bask in a job well done, and leave it to the youngins to pick up the social media torch.
Crowder supposedly filmed a convo with a furry in his new "Change My Mind" campus visit, but I haven't seen it yet.
He said it haunted him that he stopped doing the campus visits because they got too dangerous, but he never warned anyone outside his team. He feels partially responsible for Charlie's death. He has NOTHING to apologize for, the only person responsible for killing Charlie is the assassin. But it's good of him to pick up the torch again with Charlie gone and go back to campuses, knowing the huge risks.
One of the girls he talks with cannot get over the fact that Crowder calls his new girlfriend "My lady" or "My woman." She's a non-woke Latina, she probably likes "her man" a little possessive verbally. From my experience.Posted by: LizLem at November 10, 2025 07:22 PM (Eng1Z)

Anti-penguin bigotry has been a blight in our country from early days. Even Alexis de Tocqueville commented on the phenomenon in his Democracy in America, as revealed in the following passage.
“One singular characteristic of America's democratic temperament is the engendering of a profusion of ideas, some leading to genuinely useful innovations in every imaginable field of endeavor, others, unfortunately, to the spread of delusional philosophies, harmful public policy and even the destruction of individual reason.
For example, I was circumambulating a park in the vicinity of the White House while visiting in the national capital, and came upon a corner which had the appearance of a conventicle of radical sectarians, attired, judging by the smell, in the cast-off habiliments of a community of hog drovers. They had set up a ramshackle collection of tents and lean-tos, and were busily haranguing passersby on the supposed evils associated with the family of flightless birds known as Spheniscidae. The stews of London do not contain a more diverse aggregation of cutpurses, unhorsed highwaymen, beggars, opium eaters, whores and bedlamites."

I have a friend who grew up in Australia, and she and her hubby always planned to go back. But one thing led to another, and they've lived in the states all their adult lives. She misses it. But she did tell me that modern American medicine is the reason her husband is alive. He had a heart attack decades ago when their kids were just babies. Had they lived in Australia, he wouldn't have had the care he has here and would have died.
JackStraw, did you ever get to visit Culebra or Vieques? My parents got to snorkel with the Navy on Vieques, they said the ocean beauty was unreal. But there's not a hospital on the island, and a girl died from not getting flown to mainland PR in time from an illness and it caused a protest. I've gone to Vieques for the biobay and to see the wild horses.

What's funny is that Trump is perhaps the most pure embodiment of Republicanism that has ever lived. The original platform called for protection for American industry, support for American agriculture and rising wages for the working man.
He is restoring freedom of action to American foreign policy and prioritizing national defense over freeloading "allies." One of the tells about these people is that they drone on about Trump's character while ignoring that the "nice" George H.W. Bush almost drove his wife to suicide during a lengthy affair that was amazingly kept secret until both were dead.Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at November 10, 2025 07:41 PM (ZOv7s)

I remember way back during that time hearing about the war in Iraq and how our guys were conducting combat in a cemetery. I thought, what a great movie that could make. Well, this one tonight was made that come true covering that as well as a couple of other battles.
PBS shelved it 17 years ago because they didn't believe what was depicted in the movie was reality and actual Marines used. [Great journalism is always conducted by ignoring what doesn’t fit in your worldview]
It was premiered for Marines from WWII- the greatest generation. Those marines said these "boys" were far braver than they were and that they didn't know how they did it.

114 Patterico, once upon a time seemed all right. However as I have said before, I cannot think of one fucking thing in his writing that made him stand out.
Frank Fleming? Funny quirky humor
Rachel Lucas? Girl with the dogs
VDH? Amazing breadth of classical knowledge that comes through in just a few sentences.
Derbyshire? I do not regret this douchenozzles exit because he was a shit for other reasons than his ham handed racial excursions. He had a clear, direct way of speaking that was nice- until you realize he was a sociopathic shit.
But Patterico? He spoke on the law and crime, but for example Jack Dunphy was better.Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone at November 10, 2025 07:50 PM (zZu0s)

128 Aetius, true.
Patterico had a good, unique voice back when he gave a f*ck about California/LA County/Orange County politics, and the horrendous bias in the LA Times. But he doesn't care about any of that anymore, at all. Trump utterly broke him.
Gavin Newsom could openly declare the 2A null and void in California, and he and his writers would say absolutely nothing. In fact if anything he'd be supportive.Posted by: qdpsteve at November 10, 2025 07:54 PM (Ixlky)

The kids' gifts are ready to be wrapped. The Christmas tree is up - Canadian Thanksgiving is in October - so the kids can decorate.
So Christmas in November is on!!
This is the happiest I've been in a very long time.

I've said this before: when someone pivots 180 degrees without a word of explanation, without a long, deliberative process and discussion, it is because they never really bought into their former beliefs.

Opportunism. They were always situational conservatives more concerned with appearance than results.
That's why they are impervious to logic or facts. Those are obstacles, not paths to wisdom.
They are spiritually sick, and likely always have been. In different times, they would have been members in good standing of the movement, but the upheaval of our era has left them unmoored, without any core to fall back on, so they turn to fantasies in which they are the merciless commissars punishing the guilty.

In hindsight, it was projection. The senior officers were completely severed from both worlds. They absolutely hated the civilians they interacted with while pursuing grad degrees, and felt that they deserved 7-figure incomes.
At the same time, they loathed their troops for being so primitive, completely out of tune with progressivism. "We must be more diverse! We must have more women in flag billets! PT is an anachronism! (Pass the pancakes.)
The military/civil divide was actually within the military. The troops did not like being constantly hectored and lectured to by a bunch of careerists suffering from chronic zipper failures and endemic corruption.

One "kid's" show I liked was 'Dwight in Shining Armor."
The magician builds a scrying pool which allows people to go back in time. But instead of physically going back in time, they go back to their body that existed at the time and have all the memories from the future. It was a nice idea.
A neat Disney show "Best Friends Whenever" had two teen girls that could time travel but they ended up in their bodies too. If they went back before they were born, bad things happened.
That did avoid the problem of running into yourself in the past.Posted by: Posted by: Stateless - VERY GRATEFUL, BLESSED, LOVED AND HAPPY! -- - New Life Creation - 18.1% at November 10, 2025 08:35 PM (Sco7b)

I was assigned to a higher headquarters, and the word was that the response across the state was: obstinate silence. No engagement, no discussion. Leadership knew it was a disaster.
My squadron, being a planning element, took it in an unexpected direction, and began talking about what upholding the oath really meant, and whether commanders had the right to ban Confederate symbols on base, which were simply part of American history, and you don't have a right NOT to be offended.

The operation involved at least 85 social media accounts and blogs traced to China, spreading content in 25 languages across platforms including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and numerous other sites.
… as I recall, the Hawaiian authorities did their best to withhold as much information as possible, so I’m not surprised that someone would fill the void.

The Sexual Assault Prevention class had a series of vignettes about women making terrible choices, and we all sat through it without uttering a word.
Afterwards, we held court in the DFAC noting that the normal Air Force system of risk mitigation was completely ignored. Why? Why aren't we training Airmen that getting wasted at a party and passing out at the residence of a stranger you followed home is an inherently *dangerous* activity?

The Head of the BBC and Its Head of News Both Resign In Wake of Revelations They Deliberately Pushed Fake News About Trump's Role in the (Also Fake) J6 Insurrection
The BBC Panorama ran stealth-edited video to make it appear that Trump was urging his followers to go to the Capitol and "fight like hell." The claim being made was that Trump told them to riot.
It was a literal stitch-up -- they framed Trump by stitching together different speeches.Konstantin Kisin
@KonstantinKisin 23h You don't have to be an uncritical fanboy of President Trump to be horrified at just how much lying the media around the world did about him. They said he was involved in election interference while they were the ones doing it!
Now the head of the BBC and the head of news at the BBC have been forced to resign.The BBC's boss and its head of news quit on Sunday following accusations of bias at the British broadcaster, including in the way it edited a speech by U.S. President Donald Trump. The publicly funded BBC had been under mounting pressure after an internal report by a former standards adviser, which cited failings in its coverage of the Israel-Hamas war, transgender issues and a speech made by Trump, was leaked to the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
Terrorist propaganda outlet claims they "quit." In fact, they were forced out, more credible outlets report.Trump welcomed the departures, criticising the two as "very dishonest people" after the BBC's flagship Panorama programme edited two parts of one of his speeches together so he appeared to be encouraging the Capitol Hill riot of January 2021. Tim Davie, who has led the British Broadcasting Corporation since 2020, defended the organisation, saying its journalism was seen as the gold standard around the world. But he said mistakes had been made and he had to take ultimate responsibility. Deborah Turness, the CEO of BBC News, also resigned. In an email to staff she said: "I want to be absolutely clear recent allegations that BBC News is institutionally biased are wrong."
Lie.
"Perceived." By the way, do you know that "British Men" and "British Teens" keep attacking people with knives? The Telegraph revealed more left-wing bias, based on leaked memos:
Widely respected around the world, the BBC still tops polls in Britain on the most trusted news brand and has huge reach in the country, providing news, entertainment and sport. But the corporation, which is funded by a licence fee paid by all television-watching households, comes under intense scrutiny from some newspapers and critics on social media, which object to its funding model and perceived liberal stance.The leaked internal report said BBC Arabic had shown anti-Israel bias in its reporting of the war in Gaza and that an effort to cover a group campaigning for single-sex spaces had been suppressed by a small group of staff who saw it as hostile to the transgender community.
BBC Arabic was anti-Israel? Not the BBC itself? LOL.
Also revealed today : some time back the BBC ran a story about a mass grave of Palestinian civilians, secretly buried by the IDF. Internal documents leaked today show that the BBC had hard evidence that the story was a hoax, yet they ran it anyway. Posted by: Tom Servo
And as for the second item: The story would have been about the need for single-sex spaces to protect women but the transgenders spiked the story. Per the NYT: Trump is now threatening to sue the BBC for defamation. To the tune of... one billion dollars.
President Trump on Monday threatened to sue the BBC for $1 billion for a documentary that his lawyer claimed included "malicious, disparaging" edits to a speech Mr. Trump delivered on Jan. 6, 2021. The legal threat came in a letter from Alejandro Brito, one of Mr. Trump's lawyers, to the BBC that was obtained by The New York Times. The letter demanded a full retraction of the documentary, an apology and what his lawyers said would be payments that "appropriately compensate President Trump for the harm caused." The letter said that if those demands were not met, "President Trump will be left with no alternative but to enforce his legal and equitable rights, all of which are expressly reserved and are not waived, including by filing legal action for no less than $1,000,000,000 (One Billion Dollars) in damages." The letter said: "The BBC is on notice" and concluded: "PLEASE GOVERN YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY."

144 >> Jake Tapper spreads the lie that 5 people lost their lives because of the "insurrection" and then plays a deceptively edited short montage of Trump's January 6th speech
Tapper is one of the biggest dishonest pieces of shit, among a mountain of loathsome pieces of shit. Worst, he tried to portray himself as some honest broker of the truth when his own words betray that claim.
Liberals have continued to go hard Left and the media is right there with them spreading lies and distortion meant to ruin people or put them in jail for wrongthink.

We all believed the impeachment theater was a sham, but could it have ran off of the doctored video? Regardless of if it was intentional or not. If so, Congress-critters should reopen the damn thing. That, plus charging the alphabet agencies involved with it that we're only finding out about now.

I figured giving her a coronary 2 days before her actual procedure would have a negative effect. I'll have her laughing afterwards. Of course, she may shoot be because of the pain of laughter, so there's always that.Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at November 10, 2025 06:36 PM (Zz0t1)

257 A veteran United Airlines flight attendant was 10 times the legal limit after chugging multiple mini vodka bottles to help her “calm down.”
Disgraced attendant Margit Lake, 56, of California, has admitted boozing on a 10-hour overnight trans-Atlantic route from San Francisco to London on Oct. 17, according to the Sun.
She was in such a bad way on arrival that she had to be treated by first responders and taken to a nearby hospital, a UK court heard last week.

And yes, every Wednesday afternoon a couple bartenders would set up tables in the pool area in front of our cabana and make gallons of Pina Colada's, the drink they claimed to have invented. We grab a couple pitchers and sit behind the cabana and watch the sun go down.

325 I can't remember why Stormy Daniels popped up in the news, but her recent photo...boy she hit the wall hard. Booze, plus stress eating, plus Trump hate, plus losing to Trump in lawsuit is a harsh mistress!

326 The left: so what if it was edited, it still captured the spirit of the truth
Also the left: You can't trust those O'Keefe videos, he edited them down to remove parts where nothing happened and that's totally a violation of journalistic standardsPosted by: 18-1 at November 10, 2025 06:57 PM (sKqQm)

331 >>> And yes, every Wednesday afternoon a couple bartenders would set up tables in the pool area in front of our cabana and make gallons of Pina Colada's, the drink they claimed to have invented. We grab a couple pitchers and sit behind the cabana and watch the sun go down.
Fun place. Posted by: JackStraw at November 10, 2025 06:53 PM (viF8m)
That sounds like heaven!! What a cool experience!
I've had Pina Coladas (well virgin) at both places to test which one I liked better. Barrachina's space is amazingly charming, in my heart I want it to have been invented there, but the actual drinks at the Caribe Hilton had the edge. Though that view of the ocean at the Hilton...it's quite something!
But yes, the Hilton is insanely expensive. It's good to be a Democrat socialist, and fleece the taxpayers while living it up at an island resort. With no conscience to bug you. Must be nice.Posted by: LizLem at November 10, 2025 07:01 PM (Eng1Z)

333 V for Vendetta is a vengeance movie set up in an England where a bioweapon was released on the world to give pretext for a small group to seize totalitarian power enforced through street thugs, police, censorship, with shortages and curfews to keep the pretense of an ongoing emergency.
The story is basically a flawed Batman seeking revenge for what the bioweapon testing did to him personally, and instead of Alfred, V torments and tries to drive some chick insane.Posted by: Kindltot at November 10, 2025 07:01 PM (rbvCR)

345 "Must be nice."
actually, I always thought it's gotta be like hell on earth to be a thief and liar and go through life aware that you're a thief and liar.
this, in a nutshell, is why they all lack self-awareness, sense of humor, and the ability to think clearly & analytically; these (and more!) have to be suppressed or life would be intolerablePosted by: sock_rat_eez at November 10, 2025 07:07 PM (kHop/)

And in constant fear of discovery and punishment. But it's okay, because they convince themselves they are like James Bond, infiltrating the secret base, and blowing it up for the good of humanity.
