Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Quick Hits![]() From the Bee. Across the government, "directors of DEI" are changing their job titles to avoid Trump's order to terminate their employment. Trump issued an order stating that anyone who attempts to avoid this order through "disguise" or deception will be fired. Trump sues Chicago and Illinois for interfering in ICE operations. Defund! Forty million for Sesame Street in Baghdad is kind of steal now that I see the clips. Jake Tapper, the completely fair and objective reporter who Loves the Troops (and is a hero to many bi-curious fake "conservative" bloggers) informs his 17 viewers that Elon Musk is bad to "target" Two-Tier Keir for his part in covering up the Muslim Rape Gangs, because he's just "opening old wounds" of a "scandal" that's a whole ten years old. Reminder: CNN continues to celebrate January 6th every year as if it's Media Christmas. Some old wounds want to remain open! For those of you spreading the Russian Disinformation Conspiracy Theory that California will not allow people to rebuild their homes as they were, but will mandate that residential neighborhoods agree to put up subsidized housing in apartment buildings for the poor and also rebuild as constrained by "climate change" doctrines, I have bad news for you: Your Russian Disinformation Conspiracy Theories are all true, confirmed by Gavin Newsom. They burn your fucking house down, and then they forbid you to rebuild, saying that climate change requires you to move into an apartment building. Kamala paid all of her "celebrity endorsers."

Its not new that college has failed in educating. I knew a bunch of college graduates from work, friends, and church that couldn't spell or write a proper sentence despite getting a degree in college. In the past, that would have barred you from even getting INTO college.

I do have to give props to that 27 year old chick for at least figuring out she's been sold a bill of goods and trying to fix it. She's pretty cute.
But she's right: my teen daughters in school struggle with basic spelling, and they do far better than most of their classmates since they both like to read books.... on dead trees... so they've actually seen the words multiple times and some of the spelling sticks with them.

Knowing how to spell
-- best bet is to find old primers and schoolbooks from pre 1950, the older the better where they taught the basic three Rs and start there.

That was about 1942 ____________ I can relate. In junior high, our typing teacher was an older, old-school man, Mr. Johnson.

NBC WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's administration evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her home with three hours of notice on Tuesday — not even enough time to gather her personal effects — according to two people familiar with the incident.
Fagan, a four-star admiral and the first woman to lead a branch of the military, was removed from her post as the Coast Guard’s top officer on Trump’s second day in office. Officials at the Homeland Security Department — which oversees the Coast Guard — cited border security issues and an “excessive focus” on diversity, equity and inclusion among the reasons for her dismissal. He fired Comey while he was in California and wanted Comey to pay his own way back. Why would anyone expect anything else from Trump? Keep up the nastiness fuckers. The payback will be sweet. He's evil, and the media sanewashing is driving me insane! Posted by: Intercepted DU Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at February 06, 2025 06:34 PM (ycI94) 76

Its not about when he has a choice. Its about the fact that when it comes out of the bag, things are going badly for someone. They would make a baize bag, keep the cat in there, and there was a last minute chance for his friends or the officer in charge of his division to get him out of the punishment. If that failed... the cat's out of the bag.

Do I get this right? If I structure payments to avoid the $10,000 trigger I'm in deep kimchee, but non-profits and NGOs can chuck money between and among themselves to hide where it came from and where it's going and that's A-OK?
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at February 06, 2025 06:44 PM (dxSpM) Theoretically Anti Money Laundering laws apply here too. But what they're doing is more nuanced. Gov gives $100k to NGO. NGO gives $9k to 10 different fake charities (they gotta get their $1k, too). Those 10 fake charities grant the money to 20 different Donor Advised Funds, which I believe masks them from public disclosure of funds. Those DAF funds "donate" all of the money to various charities, who donate it to NGO's. Throughout this time, hundreds of millions of dollars are moving back and forth through this system at any time, being granted and transferred around (w/ skim) Now trace any specific money from the Lutheran Immigrant Project back to the government. And it's actually much more complicated than this since there are thousands of organizations, millions of grants, and dozens of govt agencies doing the same thing as USAID.

I'll let the cat out of the bag..... there's no definitive answer.
I'd lean towards the "pig in a poke" definition, because, as one website pointed out, the German version of "to buy a pig in a poke" is "to buy a cat in a bag," and the Spanish version is "to give a cat for a hare." Hard to mistake a tiny cat for a big piglet, but cats and rabbits are about the same size. The argument against the cat o' nine tails is that "letting the cat out of the bag" means to reveal a secret. Everybody knows what's in the cat o' nine tails' bag; it's not a secret.

I saw that Hilary the Hag of Hell popped up like a demented gopher to nag at the new FAA guy. I guess she did this instead of Ground Hog Day. He stomped her down pretty quickly, like the smelly old rotten cabbage she is. Will she ever simply go away? Maybe buy an island with her spawn who earned, somehow, $84 million from USAID. I guess by being ugly and having thunder thighs like her mother. Bill invited? This USAID has show us a whole lot of where our money goes and why no one has even mentioned the word, "budget" in Congress since GWB (that arsehole). I think President Trump should give us the State of the Half Union in June and let us know about all the stomping he's done. In 3wks he has done more than past presidents since I was hatched.

But “letting the cat out of the bag” doesn’t mean “things have gone awry”, it means “to reveal previously-concealed facts.”
Yeah I am not sure how its gotten to that point unless it is referring to how things are gonna "get real". Boatswain is from a really old use of the word "swain" which became about being a lover or boyfriend, but was originally "servant" in older English. He was the guy in charge of running the boat, not commanding it. Became the enforcer after a while. Coxswain is the one I'm not clear on, it ended up the main servant of the captain and guy in charge of the captain's boat. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at February 06, 2025 06:54 PM (2VST1) 211

90% of the time, here's how to find the most relevant ones: See how many ratings of Outstanding (all job elements) they've gotten in their annual performance ratings in present position and also during time with agency.
They're most often the ones rubbing elbows and butts (doing the bidding of) with whomever is higher in power than they are. It's because the Outstanding ratings historically provide protection from RIFs. (For every one on record, more years of protection are added.) They're also often known ruthless individuals and not generally receptive to US Veterans who may also have "extra points" for service &/or injury. Another thing to search out, "You can't hit moving targets" in agency or by transfers. Anyone moving frequently around may not have enough practical knowledge to keep afloat in a particular position. But they know someone. Ratings of record are kept by subagency personnel groups. There will also be agency personnel at command level with access to sub-agency personnel statistics. Some agencies will only allow hiring of GS-13 or above personnel with their (national office) approval. Posted by: L - No nic, another day at February 06, 2025 07:04 PM (NFX2v) 253

82 -- Once publishers discovered Spellchecker and Grammar checker, they did away with copy editors. And the lower down on the food chain a publisher was, the worse it got. There are a couple of publishers whose books I refuse to read even today no matter how great the book sounds. Great concept, lousy execution.
As far as teachers are concerned, once the professors who earned their credentials prior to WW II went away, good teaching vanished.

The operative rule here is once a stronk DEI hire gets hired based on dysfunctional DEI rules challenging any of this is not allowed because DEI rules are a ticket to instant and permanent tenure. These same DEI rules also allow for endless demagoguery when their stronk DEI racial tribalism is challenged. Hence the phrase, "There is a stonk black woman speaking here!" The comedy never ends.

I don't think we can go that far - someone was paying for NGOs to find illegals, pay for their transport, and then their legal aid once they got here.
I'm sure plenty was formally stolen, but definitely money was spent on their goals... Posted by: 18-1 at February 06, 2025 07:15 PM (t0Rmr) But we don't know that it's this tranche of money. Guys, USAID is an agency Elon allegedly randomly picked because they ignored a lot of Trumps EO's. Now they are kind of infamous and untouchable because they're CIA and everyone is terrified of CIA, which may have been Elon's real motivation to hit them first. But I don't think this is even coming close to scratching the surface of what's going on in DC and the sheer amount of theft from the treasury that is occurring. Like staggering amounts of money.

-- It will be interesting to see how this all pans out. A lot of those illegals were paying cartels big money, so were the NGOs and cartels working together?

I noticed the the spelling and sounding out words thing over the last year.
I saw multiple streamers trying to read text and just straight up saying the wrong words. I didn't understand what was happening until I started seeing explanations that was how they 'learned' to read. They were taught to 'read' by..... glancing at the first few letters and 'guessing' what the word was. It's actually insane. It's an advanced speedreading technique but requires you to ACTUALLY HAVE VOCABULARY to use it. You hear them just saying straight up wrong words like instead of 'suppression' they'll read out loud 'suppressant', because they AREN'T READING THE WORD.

Gavin's "Alta Dena houses built in the w0s and e0s"
What crock of shit. Sure, some were but many were built in the 50s and 60s. And it's not like they didn't do improvements. Wood is wood (excl'g shake shingle roofs) stucco is stucco and shingles are shingles for the last 100 years. People will be lucky if their lot is cleared before fall. And then watch he'll break loose when that low income apartment is built. He's throwing all this jargon and not saying anything. But he can't run again, so what does he care.

don't believe she didn't actually know. I think she was putting forth a myth that she was so poor, she'd never seen a garbage disposal.
Posted by: Dash my lace wigs! at February 06, 2025 07:27 PM (OX9vb) Could be. There are a lot of apartment buildings in New York that don't have garbage disposals though.

Tomcat Press and Set mouse traps work.
------------- We have packrats around here who build nests in your car engines (and atop your cabin air filter, and even get into your interior via vents and piss and poop) and chew threw your car wires. Those Tomcat traps definitely worked (put one behind, in front, and atop each of the two front tires). Occasionally though, they'd just trap a mouse tail, and we'd have to put them out of their misery. And we disabled the during the daytime because one accidentally killed a bird.

There's a reason: cost. The bean counters shoot down stuff like that because it will cost too much to make.
- It's the opposite. It would be cheap as heck. No R&D, advertising, etc. GM was making 300K+ engines in the 2000s. Honda and Toyota have been making them since the 90s, probably the 80s. 30 odd years of no significant engine changes besides displacement here and there, and manufacturers seeing what works and implementing it into their designs that also don't change for decades after being perfected and everyone makes a reliable everything? No, can't have that. Global Warming, you understand.
