Saturday Night "Club ONT" July 12, 2025 [The 3 Ds]
Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies A man walks into a bar, then goes to the bathroom. He comes out, goes to the bartender. He says, “You’ve got a great place, but my buddy was here last night, and he said you have golden urinals. Where are they?” The bartender turns to the band and yells, “Frank, I’ve got a lead on the guy who ruined your sax!” ----- One evening after the honeymoon, Bob was working on his Harley in the garage. His new wife was standing there by the bench watching him. After a long period of silence she finally said, "Honey, I've just been thinking, now that we're married, maybe it's time you quit spending so much of your time out here in the garage. You probably should consider selling your Harley and all that welding equipment; they take up so much of your time. And that gun collection and fishing gear, they just take up so much space. And you know that boat is such an ongoing expense and you hardly use it. I also think you should lose all those stupid model airplanes and your home brewing equipment. And what's the use of that vintage hot rod sports car?" Bob got a horrified look on his face. She noticed and said, "Darling, what's wrong?” He replied, "You were starting to sound like my ex-wife.” "Ex-wife!?" she shouted, "YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU WERE MARRIED BEFORE!” Bob replied, "I wasn't..." -----

Club ONT Requests
For 10 glorious days (July 11-20 this year), registered participants can try to catch as many gigantic danger noodles as possible. The person who nabs the most snakes wins $10,000, which might cover your bug spray bill and therapy copay.Dynamite. Which one of you did this? Definitely a Moron. Cannot quote the whole thing. Very worth the click and read.
"Sir, I pulled you over because I saw something shiny in your car. Did you have your phone in your hand and on?" an officer would ask another driver. "Goodness no. I'm a law-abiding citizen and I know that's not legal. I was lighting up some unregulated explosives." "I'm sorry, you did what now?" "Yeah, I was trying to read this new book. It's something about driving dummies. Anyway, I thought I was lighting up a road flare to give me some light, but turns out that stuff I stole from the construction site was actually dynamite. And just between me you and the fencepost over there, FYI, I would totally avoid that bridge we just drove over if you go back the other way. Long fuse on that dynamite but it's definitely going to go off here in a second."

Over the past two centuries, humans have quietly nudged the very axis of our planet. As thousands of dams have been built across the world, Earth's poles have tilted by over 1 meter (3 feet). The movement of Earth's poles can be traced to two great waves of dam construction: first in North America and Europe during the 19th and early 20th centuries, and then across Asia and East Africa in the latter half of the 20th century. It's all to do with mass distribution and the planet's moment of inertia. Earth will happily spin like a basketball twirling on a fingertip, but if mass is suddenly added to one region, the rotation starts to wobble.
On July 9, 2025, Earth spun a little faster than usual, enough to make the day about 1.3 to 1.6 milliseconds shorter than the standard 24 hours. That may not sound like much, but it was the shortest day since modern records began. It's not a one-off either. Scientists expect two more short days this summer, on July 22 and Aug. 5, all thanks, in part, to the moon. Earth doesn't rotate at a perfectly constant speed. While we define a day as 24 hours, in reality, the length of a day can vary slightly from one day to the next due to both internal and external forces acting on the planet. Over long timescales, Earth's rotation is actually gradually slowing down, largely because of tidal friction from the moon. The moon's gravity pulls on Earth's oceans, creating tidal bulges that act like a brake. This adds about 2 milliseconds to the length of a day every century. But over shorter timescales, days to months, Earth's spin can actually speed up and that's what happened on July 9, and will also happen on July 22 and Aug. 5.
AI-generated Psych-rock band The Velvet Sundown didn’t exist two weeks ago, but today they boast over half a million listeners on Spotify and are getting to put out their third album. The Velvet Sundown is either the hardest-working and most inspired rock group ever, or they are simply playing by different rules. The psych-rock band appeared out of nowhere two weeks ago, but managed to put out to albums and has already announced that the third will be released on Spotify soon. They already boast a respectable 500,000 monthly listeners on the popular music streaming platform and show no signs of slowing down. But the overnight success and record-breaking album release schedule drew attention to the band this week, with many accusing The Velvet Sundown of being an AI-generated gimmick. And, truth be told, all the signs point to that being the case.Club ONT is 100% opposite of an AI experience. We prefer natural stupidity.

Just got out of Superman.
4/5 stars.
No politics, super heroes being heroic.
A little cartoony and silly. There IS a super powered dog in it after all.
But not strictly for kids, there is at least one headshot in the movie and it is not played lightly.
Humor is hit and miss but it isn't as quippy as a Marvel movie.
There's romance and it feels realistic without getting into Larry Niven territory.
Endorsed, if you like superheroes.

So, a total waste of time.

IERS, the International Earth Rotation and Reference System, is the one tasked with tracking the rotation and orientation of the earth down to quite amazing precision. This is critical for navigation and celestial positioning. The GPS system must know these very precisely in order to pinpoint a receiver's location on the rotating geoid.

I can see why dam building might shift the moment of inertia of the Earth without significantly slowing the rate of rotation: mass was concentrated in various sites but not raised to any degree from the axis of rotation, assuming nearby sourcing of materials. Evidently the Earth’s spin rate went up ever so slightly!

Every day, IERS puts out their daily solution files, Bulletin A, I think they call it. The USNO mirrors that output here:
https://tinyurl.com/ywypes2a
The "finals2000A.daily" is the main one of interest. These files are in Fortran formatted I/O format, and the readme files there explain the column format.
Of interest to me there primarily is the daily DUT1 and LOD (length of day) values. The LOD is the excessive length of day, expressed in ms. Negative values means one complete mean solar day was faster. The past three days, 7/8 - 7/10 have been better than 1.3 ms faster than 24 hours (of atomic time).

NYPost: Rock band with more than 1 million Spotify listeners reveals it’s entirely AI-generated — down to the musicians themselves
The ’60s-inspired rock-and-roll band, the Velvet Sundown, revealed on Saturday that nothing about it is real after fans of the up-and-coming artists noticed there were virtually no traces of any people associated with it online.
Its debut album, “Floating on Echoes,” was released on June 5 to mass appeal online.
The most popular song in the album, pro-peace folk rock song “Dust on the Wind,” clinched the No. 1 spot for Spotify’s daily “Viral 50” chart in Britain, Norway and Sweden between June 29 and July 1.

The Niven in question is "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex." Any Superman fan who hasn't read this yet should run out and grab a copy. It's a scream. It's in his collection All the Myriad Ways, and I think it's been anthologized several times.

The floods in Texas and New Mexico, and other serious rainfall in N Am (including here in Oklahoma) no doubt had some microeffect on the planet's rotation.
Will be interesting to see how much effect there will be when the Three Gorges dam fails.
Imagine the world wobbling when the Mediterranean basin filled, or those giant floods in N America when the glaciers gave way.

I’m not a paid spokesman for Superman, just a fan of the character. I was adopted as an infant and my mom used the story of Superman to explain adoption to me, so I have a very sentimental attachment to the character. I hated the Snyder version of the character so I am just happy to have a new movie that I enjoyed. I think it actually hurts MAGA to frame the movie as woke because it has an immigration theme, as that makes it sound like MAGA hates immigrants period, rather than just wanting the border controlled and illegal criminal aliens removed.

So glad to see you here. We care, but most of us aren't right in the head, lol. That makes this place interesting.

If it does, does it sound less gay in the movie than I think it would? Because I think it would sound really gay.

It’s only that we’re measuring time to great precision: with GPS an error of a few nanoseconds is enough to throw you off by a few feet since EM waves travel at the speed of light (EM waves - radio - is the same as light, just at a much slower frequency) so:
L= c Δt = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s)(1.00 x 10^-9 s)
= 0.300 m = 30.0 cm,
or about a foot. So a millisecond error is a million time greater! Sorry for the math in an ONT!

But for the most part the music I listen to doesn’t start with the singer saying “oh by the way this song is about this political thing, and fuck you if you disagree with me”. That’s the difference.

One year ago tomorrow they tried to put a bullet in Trump's head. Now USAID no longer exists and we had a budget surplus in the billions last month and the border is sealed tighter than a frog's ass.

I am guessing that there was a lot of unverified speculation about the Epstein list. It probably contains lots of individuals with no actual proof of any wrong doing. There are probably a handful of true, gross perverts on there including Prince Whats-his-face. Epstein was a professional extortion artist. He probably needed to schmooze 1000s of people to get 20 idiots to bite, so his list probably contains more innocent people than guilty ones.
You also need to collect more evidence than just being on a list. I watch a lot of true crime stuff (like "The First 48", good show, check it out) and the investigators often know very early on who committed the murder, but it takes way longer than that to build a rock solid case to present in front of jury of idiots who can be swayed by stupid catch phrases like "if the glove does not fit, you must acquit"

Traditionally, Kal-El was born on the planet Krypton, which no longer exists. He was adopted by the childless Kents, a Mid-American farm couple. They didn’t go on about his origins: who would believe them? So he was a foundling. They retconned this in the 80s such that he was born when the rocket/spaceship carrying the future Superman landed on Earth! That gave him birthright citizenship!

The immigrant comments started from an interviewer trying to stir things up by asking Gunn, “Don’t you think MAGA will hate this movie because Superman is an immigrant?” Gunn did not say anything negative about MAGA or Trump (at least in what I have seen), and has put forth the idea that this new movie is for everyone. I know Gunn’s history and if that turns you off I completely understand. But Gunn (on the interview rounds for this movie) is not making provocative statements that are offensive to MAGA—that is just the angle that some reports are taking.

The history of all this as it relates to timekeeping is interesting. Up until the early 20th Century, the earth itself was the most accurate clock we had, much better than even the best mechanical chronometers made. A very accurate thing dubbed a master-slave vacuum pendulum clock was pretty good and used for precise astronomical timing. Eddington used one of these for he famous eclipse observations testing gravitational light bending against the then new General Relativity theory.
It wasn't until atomic clocks came on the scene that the variation of earth's rotation could be measured to high precision.
By the late 1800's they began to suspect the earth's rotation wasn't uniform, and wiggled around. Long term tidal slowing was known, but the daily wig woggles were suspected. Atomic clocks confirmed this to high precision.

Well, I took apart the little glue gun that died on me this morning, with a zzort! and puff of smoke. It wasn't the cord that shorted, it was the heating element itself. Unfixable, so into the trash can with it. Did salvage the cord.

The thing about the flight logs that got me was the plane was used for more than just trips to Pedo Island. Two names that stuck out to me on the plane's flight logs that I read, being a football fan, was Arsenal's manager, Mikael Arteta, and a former Chelsea player, Callum Hudson-Odoi. They were on some charity trip to Africa on that plane. The plane could go to many legitimate places for many legitimate reasons carrying as passengers completely legitimate people.
So I'm not looking for just names on the flight logs, I'm looking for criminal activity tied to those names. That means arrests not tv sound-bite interviews.

I had a friend ask if it was possible to can cherries in jello. I have no idea if it is possible, so I mixed gelatin, pectin and sugar for cherries, to see what happened when I waterbath can them
I suspect it isn't going to do any good, so I will probably make a second attempt with twice as much pectin and gelatin.
The physical changes that pectin and gelatin undergo while making gel is very interesting. Pectin is reliant on pH and the sugar helps displace water which makes the pectin gel runny. Part of the "soft ball" stage appears to be driving off enough water from the mix, and the water content change while boiling changes the boiling point up.
Gelatin is actually sensitive to heat, and I may have to do a modified water bath treatment, like a sous vide set up, to get the temperature high enough to kill bacteria but low enough to allow the gelling to happen.
I like food chemistry. I wish I had gotten into it more back when I thought I could cook. I would have been a better cook!

A credible way to punt on the situation would be to say "We don't have enough evidence to bring any further charges". No one would be particularly surprised that any useful evidence got disappeared before Trump's people could publish it.
Unfortunately Bondi made sweeping statements about the magnitude of what she had, and now wants to toe the Deep State line that there is nothing there and was never anything there, and for whatever reason, Trump's backing her.
That's a black mark on both of them. And if we see Bongino leave over this, that act, regardless of what he can or can't further say, is confirmation that there is much more there there than the Trump regime is telling us. It would mean that Trump is lying to us, whatever else he may be doing that coincides with our interests.

Here's what the earth's rotation has been doing since 1962, when the atomic clock system was put into place (TIA):
https://tinyurl.com/hk6sxps5
Note the rapid day to day variation, shown by the spiky gray lines, vs the moving 365 day average shown by the green curve. Now, the grey line would correlate with UT1 time scale, while the green one would be tracking UT2, a smoothed time scale that used to be used for "UT"/GMT-equivalent.
You can see the trend has been speeding up over the last 60 years.

Posted by: RickZ at July 12, 2025 11:10 PM (gKDq2)
--------------------
My unpopular take on the Epstein debacle: the names will never be released as they would likely cause economic collapse if not outright war (I'm sure Chinese diplomats are just as pervy as any others). Even if they were released, none of them would face justice, they'd either go full diplomatic immunity or spend a few million on lawyers to drag it out forever. They can't un-screw those kids, and the victims have no path to compensation. It's a vicious, evil soul-consuming clusterfuck.
That said, we have the information. When we brought the Paperclip and Unit 731 guys here after WWII, we didn't tell them to burn their research first. We used it. And, since this exists, we can use it as well.
US: Sign this trade deal.
Country X: Never! This deal is terrible!
US: Hey look! Video of your prime minister raping kids!
Country X: Let's go ahead and get that deal signed.
It's awful, but we'd might as well be pragmatic. The world is a vicious place.

My unpopular take on the Epstein debacle: the names will never be released as they would likely cause economic collapse if not outright war (I'm sure Chinese diplomats are just as pervy as any others). Even if they were released, none of them would face justice, they'd either go full diplomatic immunity or spend a few million on lawyers to drag it out forever. They can't un-screw those kids, and the victims have no path to compensation. It's a vicious, evil soul-consuming clusterfuck.
That said, we have the information. When we brought the Paperclip and Unit 731 guys here after WWII, we didn't tell them to burn their research first. We used it. And, since this exists, we can use it as well.
US: Sign this trade deal.
Country X: Never! This deal is terrible!

Country X: Let's go ahead and get that deal signed.
It's awful, but we'd might as well be pragmatic. The world is a vicious place.

I used to be scared of automatic transmissions.
Been slowly rebuilding a 68 Ford C6 automatic when I can.
Not bad at all.
Can't say I'd tackle a modern transmission, though.

Conceptually, they are pretty simple. In practice, they get very complicated, with many duplications of "almost the same" parts, that may have slight differences that are crucial, and have to be installed the right way in the right sequence.

My employer just doesn't understand why we are so productive on Saturdays versus the rest of the week.
This is mainly because they don't bother to analyze why.
So we work 10 hour days M-F and Saturday hours are TBD.

Epstein was an intel Kompromat op against western and anglosphere politicians, scientists and tech leaders, those were the people on the flights, in his black book and on the tapes.
The reason why it's being covered up is because the controlling authorities do not want to let the world know that everyone is being blackmailed in some form or fashion.
And this is the last time I'm going to talk about Epstein because, in the final analysis, and in the main, no one cares.

It's possible to go back well before 1962, although it will not be as precise as the atomic clock data: Scroll down this page and you'll see a LOD graph going back to 1830:
https://tinyurl.com/yah2me49
Where does that come from? By the early 1800s, astronomical observations were getting precise enough to see wig-woggle in the earth's rotation, and thus, over time relative to earth rotation based time.
You can see the earth was spinning pretty fast around 1870, an even bigger acceleration hiccup that now. About 3 ms less than 24 hours. But, by the early 1900s, it had slowed down, touching 4 ms longer than 24 hours.
But, if you plot a linear trend line over those 200 years, you'll see that the LOD is getting longer, and that agrees very closely with the calculated long term tidal slowing.

Move to one of the poles, then gravity will remain more constant as the earth's rotation slows down.
Though it'll still drop as the rotation-driven equatorial bulge subsides. That'll move the equator closer to the core, and the poles further away, so gravity will be more equal between them.

The biggest issue is other departments not having their shit together.
Said departments aren't there on Saturdays.
Yet the degreed geniuses in charge either don't see this or don't care.
I guess they'd rather pay OT and lose people to burnout rather than fix the issues.

M-F all the other departments are on site.
The assembly line is a like an interference engine.
If the timing is right it runs like there is no tomorrow.
In my few months with the company, those days have been exceptionally rare.

>>>My unpopular take on the Epstein debacle: the names will never be released as they would likely cause economic collapse if not outright war (I'm sure Chinese diplomats are just as pervy as any others). Even if they were released, none of them would face justice, they'd either go full diplomatic immunity or spend a few million on lawyers to drag it out forever. They can't un-screw those kids, and the victims have no path to compensation. It's a vicious, evil soul-consuming clusterfuck.

Ghiselle is in prison for some reason, and Epstein was picked up and prisoners for some reason.
Posted by: Skip
From Coast to Coast AM:
Seasoned private investigator Nils Grevillius joined guest host Richard Syrett to discuss high-profile criminal cases, mainly the Jeffrey Epstein. Regarding Jeffrey Epstein, Grevillius provided an alternative perspective on the convicted sex offender's operations, suggesting that Epstein was merely a front for a larger intelligence scheme. He posed a provocative question: "What if Ghislaine Maxwell was running an operation for MI6? What if the CIA bought shares in it?" He speculated that these intelligence agencies used Epstein's network as "a honey trap" to gather compromising material on powerful figures. Grevillius also expressed skepticism about the DOJ and FBI's conclusions regarding Epstein's death, criticizing the handling of evidence.

A year ago tomorrow Trump missed having his brains blown out because he unexpectedly turned his head.
We know dick about the shooter or how he was allowed to get a clean shot at Trump. We don't know much more about the spaz who tried to murder him in Florida.
The obsession over Epstein when it is well know and has been for years he was a protected asset of the CIA and likely also worked with some of the intel agencies or our "allies" while completely ignoring when tried to murder our POTUS, twice, is bizarre.

have done relatively few automatics. A Powerglide, which did not work out well; a C4, which did, a couple of Studebaker Flightomatics (almost identical to the Ford cast-iron Cruisomatic), which both worked well, and a Ford AODE, and a previous 4L60E, which both worked well.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon
I have a car that has an ST300 which many mistake for a Powerglide.
It's just adequate at best and hardly anyone sells parts for it.
It's the definition of "meh".
A TH350 or 7004r will replace it.
Was the AODE much of a challenge to rebuild?

One might assume that President Trump doesn't need outside pressure to manage an interest in the two attempts on his life.

Andrew went to Epstein's island and boinked Virginia Giuffre, who may have been underage at the time, hence "jailbait". She even went to London with him; it's not like he was strenuously hiding the affair. And she might have been "legal" in London, not certain. So he was a horndog banging an underage (depending upon date and jurisdiction) hooker. Not really a pedo. I'd say Bill Clinton's dalliance with Monica Lewinsky was on about the same level of dumbassery.

_____old Dr Who spoiler alert____
I had no idea that "Hand of Fear" was the last old Who with Sarah Jane. When Tom Baker Dr Who says goodbye, he says, until we meet again. Bittersweet; they didn't meet again until the new series David Tennant. I was glad Elisabeth Sladen's character got to recur, decades later, and even got her own spin-off series before she died. For all the silliness of Dr Who, she was a sweetheart.
_____end spoiler alert, as if it were needed_____
Gonna jump in the ol' Tardis - one that has a working chameleon circuit and is disguised as a comfy bed - and time-travel to Sunday morning.
*cranks wheel, pushes lever, whiney noises screech*
G'nite, y'all.

Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool Adobe Premiere Pro. The file appears to have been assembled from at least two source clips, saved multiple times, exported, and then uploaded to the DOJ’s website, where it was presented as “raw” footage.

The long term, geological time scale variation of the earth's mean solar day is also interesting. As mentioned, the main driver of slowing the earth's rotation is the tidal friction of the the Moon, pulling up tidal bulges. To conserve angular momentum, as the earth slows, the Moon must recede. A fraction of the earth's rotational kinetic energy goes to increasing the Moon's orbital energy. The balance goes to heat.
So, as the Moon slows the earth down, the equal and opposite reaction throws the Moon into a higher orbit. This process goes roughly as 1/r^6, where r is the Moon's mean orbital radius. Think of it as tidal field (inverse cube) squared.
When you naively plug that it, you find over the 4.5 billion years since the Moon formed, it should be farther away. It would take "only" 1.7 billion years or so for the Moon to be thrown from the Roche limit of the earth to the current distance.
There are other complex factors involved, and it was sort of ongoing question. It was solved around 2023.

Turns out that over a 1 billion year period from about 2 billion years ago until 600 million years ago, the earth's day remained stable at about 19.5 hours. The Moon did not recede, and the earth didn't slow for 1 billion years.
If it did, the current day would be about 60 hours long, and the Moon would be much farther away. What happened? A very complex dance of regular tides, and a solar atmospheric tide that got in resonance at a rough 20 hour day.

So the fact we had a huge budget surplus last month when the "experts" said the economy would tank, the border is sealed, Iran will never have nukes, my taxes aren't going up, illegals are being sent to Sudan and on and on and on doesn't matter because Hillary isn't in chains?
That's kind of weird way of looking at the world.

The balance goes to heat. Is that heat the source of the heat in the Earth's core, or is that more from radioactive decay of heavy elements in the core?
And would adding a largish moon to Mars and/or Venus help in any way to terraform those planets?

>> Is that heat the source of the heat in the Earth's core, or is that more from radioactive decay of heavy elements in the core?
According the Grok, the tidal heating is very small in the total heat budget. The earth's internal heat fraction is about 47TW. The source of that is the heat of formation and radioactive decay. The tidal heating is about 3.7TW.
The brunt of that is dissipated into the oceans, with the remainder inside the earth. Most of this friction is with the ocean. The internal solid deformation is much smaller. So, the brunt of tidal heating is a surface thing.

For some mindboggling numbers, earth's total heat input, insolation (less what is reflected) + internal heat dissipation to the surface is 121 PW, 121,000 TW.
Tidal heating is but 0.003% of that YUGE number.

Her dad slipped in a polka tune and did a surprisingly lively dance, given the state of his wife's hip. My family is far more German than Pooky's, so we clapped and cheered at the polka.

Words mean things and you used the word "win". I think it should be reserved for victory, a state in which the enemy is vanquished. If you want to use it for like a game of tennis, I suppose you can, but I don't really care until the match is done.
I am not excited about a budget surplus unless it is going to be used to pay down the debt, and that can be celebrated once it is entirely gone. Nothing has been done which would prevent the mullahs from getting nukes. They've been set back and it will be their sons who have the next shot at it, but they are still there and are going to try again when they have an opportunity.
As to the rest, I have a hard time celebrating tens of thousands of invaders being shown the door, when Trump sounds like he's looking for an excuse to let tens of millions stay.

You aren't wrong.
The TH350 would be temporary until the 700r4.
I would rather have a 2004r, but they seem hard to find in an affordable non-rebuilt state.
That is for the GM car.
Controlling a 4L80E in a vehicle from the 60's requires additional doohickeys and will require other modifications to the vehicle or driveline which I'd like to avoid.
This is for an F100 that would not see a lot of use.

>> And would adding a largish moon to Mars and/or Venus help in any way to terraform those planets?
That I do not know much about. Venus is rotating too damn slow, and backwards. A solar day on Venus works about to be about 116 earth days, about half of the Venusian year. And the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. You can work out that with it's retrograde rotation vs the sidereal year.
This is a big problem for earth-like conditions. However, I remember some interesting stuff. First, imagine we somehow blow away that thick atmosphere and replace it with an earth atmosphere. Now, we ask what balance of water vapor, vs total pressure would be good, and how would the climate respond. We need surface water to drive a cycle, O2, and all that.
I remember a long session with Grok about this, and I'll try to find it. This was in relation to some possible exoplanet climates.

It's not a distraction at all. It's a fact. Children are still children no matter where they are from.

Of course it's a distraction *to the discussion we are having*.
You are clearly trying to change the topic to anything other than what is apparently Trump's decision to protect Epstein's clients and his handlers from further public scrutiny.
You say that maybe he knows more, but I can make the same 8 dimensional chess argument by claiming that obviously he knows his position is completely unacceptable and designed to bring more attention to the topic as it is doing this weekend.
For whatever reason.

Now, Mars. First we need to add atmosphere there, and then we need to get a magnetic field kick started. This is a problem.
And Venus doesn't have intrinsic field either. But the think atmosphere has an induced field due to the solar wind. This would also be a problem if we blew away the thick atmosphere for an earth-like one.

Your guess is as good as mine. But what makes anyone think all those girls want to testify instead of moving on with their lives? When Epstein was tried in Florida there were only about 6 girls willing to testify.
Epstein was a CIA asset. That is who we have been at war with for decades, our own duplicitous government that has put us in bad places. He also worked for foreign intel organizations. He likely did a lot of very shady shit on behalf of our government and others that would be very damaging if released.
But he's dead. Maxwell is in prison.
What happened to those girls was horrific. How would it get any better for them, not us, but them, if this kept going on?

You aren't wrong.
The TH350 would be temporary until the 700r4.
I would rather have a 2004r, but they seem hard to find in an affordable non-rebuilt state.
That is for the GM car.
Controlling a 4L80E in a vehicle from the 60's requires additional doohickeys and will require other modifications to the vehicle or driveline which I'd like to avoid.
This is for an F100 that would not see a lot of use.
Posted by: Erebus- Ex Killer Whale at July 13, 2025 12:38 AM (elaR+)
The 200-4R is a fairly close-ratio box, with low gear closer to second than the 700R4, and an overdrive that's not so tall. (IIRC) I have an Avanti that has had a McKinnon 283 transplanted into it (same as Chevy 283, but built at the McKinnon engine plant in Ontario, and sold to Studebaker to be used in '65 and '66 cars). It currently runs a TH350, which has a bad converter drain-back problem. Otherwise it drives fine. And the car has the wrong rear axle in it, a Dana 27, which is mos' too light, as the song goes. I have a rebuilt 700R4 on the floor of the shop, and also a proper Dana 44 rear axle for the Avanti, with the sway bar and traction bar brackets on it. And it's a 3.73 ratio, which should work fine.

It's the discussion you are having.
You pretend you are all about children but only the ones you want to talk about.
What happened to Epstein's victims year ago was tragic. Nothing is going to change it. Not even you.
There were about 100 of them that our government allowed to be abused. In the prior 4 years, Biden allowed 300,000 children to be abused and rescuing as many of them seems to be Trump's focus.
He's never ignored Epstein. When Epstein was arrested in Florida years ago Trump was one of the only people to come forward to testify against him. Look it up. I trust Kash, he says Epstein killed himself despite the conspiracy theories. Is he lying too?
What exactly do you think you are going to learn about Epstein? That he was CIA? That he also worked for foreign governments? That he was a pervert and Bill Clinton, the guy Epstein had a painting of in a blue dress in his home, was a visitor? We know all that.
I'm a lot more interested in gutting future commies rather than ones who are already dead.

It would be very damaging to people and organizations (like the CIA) which very much deserve and need to be damaged for the good of essentially everyone else.
Which would be consistent with Trump's campaign ad which stated his intent to obliterate the Deep State.

We know Allan very well. We covered very very closely Virginia [Virginia Giuffre] Grey's sic accusations against him. He came on the show when it was in its infancy and we did a very deep dive into all of it. Allan has been totally exonerated on those accusations.
He disproved this woman's accusations with actual receipts and plane tickets and so on. None of it held up and ultimately, not surprisingly, she withdrew her suit against him and confessed she may have confused him with someone else, which is the best you're going to get as a guy who gets accused in these cases falsely.

I was watching YouTube videos about crazy news out of China. Some kindergarten was using lead-based paint or lead-based pigments to make the food more colorful being feed to the kids. Apparently, This was being used to demonstrate to the parents how great everything was at this school. Until the kids started getting sick.
Eventually the parents started figuring out the school was killing their kids with lead poisoning. Being Chicom land, the authorities couldn't have a scandal so they tried to cover it up by forcing a local hospital to issue fake test results when parents brought their kids to be checked for lead poisoning.
I do have to say the food in the brochures was rather colorful.

It got very little coverage in our media, of course, but around the time the idiotic war in Ukraine started Putin sent troops into Kazakhstan to put down what was called a "grassroots uprising". It was a color revolution and at the time Putin said he would not permit any more color revolutions in former Soviet states. This was after he watched the CIA take down Ukraine.
Does anyone really believe that an intel agent like Epstein wasn't known by every foreign government around the world or is just us morons on a blog who have noticed?

Sperry may be taking an extra, unnecessary step there. The Muslim Brotherhood is Sunni, while Mamdani would be Shi'i. Those two are traditionally as hostile to each other as each is to Jews. 'Soros has thrown in his lot with Mamdani' is where I'd cut off the paper trail. It's bad enough.
Alex Soros has funneled $24 mil to the NYC mayoral campaign of Muslim Zohran Mamdani thru his fundraising arm Working Families,which means Soros' wife HUMA ABEDIN,whose parents are Muslim Brotherhood, "will control the mayor of NY," a lawyer investigating Abedin told me

>>I have to wonder though, what value is that blackmail material any more? Having officially declared there's no there there with Epstein island, you can't release one incriminating video that's sourced from it, because then you're the villain sitting on all that shit.
I don't think it's blackmail at all. It's about removing pieces.
Epstein was a scumbag from previous administrations. There is no excusing what he did or more importantly what our government either sanctioned or allowed him to do.
Trump is trying to right this country after years of the insane clown party running it. His biggest negotiating hammer is our economy and moral high ground. Kind of hard to argue the latter when Epstein in the news everday.
The DOJ under Bondi is arresting child predators every single day. Go on X and you will see it. No serious person can claim Trump is soft of this issue. Epstein was a spook and he worked for the feds. That's the difference.

When you are making a deal, do you want to be the guy holding the shit sandwich or the gold card?
By that logic, no president will ever expose the CIA. Or any other organization whose exposure will give the US a black eye.
No thanks. Its not just fine to cover this up simply because now its Trump in office.

I would like transparency on Epstein because I think the data he collected is used for blackmail. So whoever controls the data has control over much of our government. If true, those being blackmailed cannot be reliable public servants but rather serve the holder of the data. To me this is an immense problem for a country that claims to be a constitutional republic.

Spaniards have been wounded after being hit in the face by rocks thrown by Moroccan migrants in Torre Pacecho in south-eastern Spain.
Ethnic clashes have been taking place there since some Moroccans beat up a 70-y-old man for fun 3 days ago
Several short clips of Moroccans and Spaniards chasing each other, can't tell who's who.

Paris and New Caledonia announced a “historic” agreement under which the overseas territory will remain French but be declared a new state.
The autonomy of the overseas territory will expand. Certain sovereign powers will gradually transfer to local authorities. In particular, the new entity will exercise full jurisdiction in international relations within its powers, except defense and security.

It's not much of a mystery. It was the CIA.
About a week ago, the current CIA Director, John Ratcliffe, blew up the Russia hoax and now we know Brennan and Comey are under criminal investigation.

>>>A major ethnic conflict has broken out in Torre-Pacheco in south-eastern Spain.
Spaniards and Moroccans have been clashing over the past few days. The conflict started with a group of young Moroccans beating up a 70-year-old Spaniard named Domingo for fun.
2000 Spanish locals and Spaniards from across the country took to the streets of Torre-Pacheco yesterday for a demonstration meant to show that enough is enough. It was followed by clashes between the two groups.
Today, Moroccans from across the region have travelled to Torre-Pacheco to reinforce the local Moroccans. The spiral of violence is just getting worse.
The picture shows Domingo after the assault.

They have been basically running our government for decades. That's the real fight that is going on no matter what the media says.
That's why it was kind of a big deal that the Director of the CIA called out the previous director for basically treason.
We have another real problem on our side. We say we don't care about the media but we only seem to care about stuff the media shrieks about.
Yea, Ratcliffe accusing the former directors of the FBI and CIA of treason is kind of a big deal even if the media doesn't say so.

Kindltot,
Re: canning cherries in jello, the product i would recommend is called clear jel A. Clear Jel® is a chemically modified corn starch that produces excellent sauce consistency even after fillings are canned and baked. Other available starches break down when used in these pie fillings, causing a runny sauce consistency.
You can get it on Amazon and/or sometimes from the county extension service that does canning classes. Selling 1.5# for $14.99 on Amazon now.

Its the "our guy / their guy" mentality. You are seeing it on full display right now. "Our guy" can't be embarrassed, you see, so sometimes certain things must be left unsaid. For the greater good, if you will.
But now "their guy" ? Oh - there is no end to what damage he could cause, so of course nothing is off the table to stop that bastard.
We marvel at the ability of the left to hold two sets of opposed values and switch effortlessly between them according to whatever is convenient at the time. Yet we never notice when we do it ourselves.

And maybe like every other time it looks like Trump is screwing up or breaking a promise, he has a decent enough reason for his actions.
BTW I mostly agree this Epstein thing is a clusterfuck, Bondi is shit and we are being handed bullshit.
However I don't think it is a catastrophic end to Trump, there is too much we don't know that he does know. And I trust Trump to prioritize because if he couldn't do that, he wouldn't have won three elections after coming out of nowhere and having the entire world, his own party, and the so-called intelligence community aligned so squarely against him.

I do think that our side has the edge in tech media though. We were the freakin' nerds. We learned this stuff while they relied upon the trusted mainstream news media which has been thoroughly discredited. Who the hell sits down to wait for David Muir every night? I have hope.

Just got back from fishing trip. Trying to figure out if I can market a scent of woodsmoke and old fish eggs. Because that's what everything smells like now.

I have a soft spot for DJT because he single handedly stopped Hillary and Kamala, both of whom were planned to be unleashed on us, and to deliver the final blow to whatever this American experiment is. That won't leave. No one more consequential to the fate of the world has existed in my lifetime.
But for some reason he has hired the worst of the worst attorneys general - I'll give a small break to the Sessions choice because practically no one thought he was a bad choice and it was a loyalty pick. And still a big fucking mistake. Did they have something on him...? Probably.
But there's no excuse for either Billy Barr or Bondi other than Trump literally could not get anyone else appointed due to a treacherous congress. And that's not an excuse but rather a reason.

Hey I never claimed she's useless, just treacherous.
Do you think she is doing anything special here that anyone else loyal couldn't or wouldn't do, or is it just the accepted baseline?
I propose it's baseline, and that Bondi Has Electrolytes serves a different master. It will come out in the wash. Some would argue it already has.
As shown in Trump I, AG is the most important position, and although I will say so far she is better than Sessions and Barr, she is not who I want in there by a longshot.

Yea but she's done a lot of good stuff and Trump obvioulsly likes her. Like lots of good stuff. How come none of you that hate her ever mention it?
One of the reasons we don't win more is that we have far too many on our side who seem to forget we are fighting back against an entrenched and powereful estabalishment that has run the world for decades. And when people come to fight for us we savage them if they don't do exactly what we want.
The enemy is over there. Shoot that way.

Here's the rub: grok, what immigration cases has pam bondi won?
----
https://tinyurl.com/3bru47k5
There is limited publicly available information specifying individual immigration cases that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has personally won, as her role primarily involves overseeing the Department of Justice (DOJ) rather than directly litigating cases. However, based on available data, Bondi has been involved in several high-profile immigration-related legal actions since her confirmation as Attorney General on February 4, 2025. Below is a summary of notable immigration-related cases or actions associated with her tenure, focusing on outcomes where possible:
Lawsuit Against New York (Green Light Law. Outcome: As of the latest reports, this is a civil lawsuit, and no final ruling
Lawsuit Against Illinois (TRUST Act. Outcome: No specific outcome is reported
Riley v. Bondi (Supreme Court Case, Decided June 26, 2025)
Case Details: This case involved a challenge to the timing rules for appealing immigration removal orders. Outcome: The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of Riley,
etc., etc.

Summary
Pam Bondi, as U.S. Attorney General, has been actively involved in immigration-related litigation, primarily targeting state and local policies that the DOJ claims interfere with federal immigration enforcement. However, there are no confirmed case wins in the provided data. The Riley v. Bondi case resulted in a loss for the DOJ, and other lawsuits (e.g., against New York, Illinois, and Maryland) are ongoing without reported resolutions. Bondi’s actions reflect a broader Trump administration agenda to prioritize immigration enforcement, often focusing on “sanctuary” jurisdictions and high-profile deportation cases, but specific victories in court are not documented as of July 13, 2025.
If you need more details on any specific case or want me to search for additional updates, let me know!

Trump can handle my criticism of his underlings. He's a big boy and gets much worse from even his own supposed side every day. You could say I'm just keeping us honest, but to me it's not about that. I call it like I see it because I rarely see it wrong.
You already insinuated I was lying when I said this once but - I was on the Trump Train and getting a giant raft of shit from here from "trusted regulars" well before you my leafy pal. You couldn't even tell people here that he *liked America* without being laughed at and accused of fronting for Hillary. And this is long after some should have known better.
As such I get to criticize him and any less than worthy hires and it's really no skin off anyone's back. He's only one man and as much as I'd like to see him burn it all down, I suggest that even you would recoil from what that would look like. The moment Trump starts making those noises our side quivers because of "the rules". Go figure.

Heading north this AM. Spent yesterday installing whip mounts at our boat slip. Lost a drill bit under the walkway in the process. Hot and miserable work it was.
The remainder of the day was spent moving the boundary timbers in our largest garden bed to cut its square footage by about one third, which already was mostly grass anyway. I'll borrow our neighbor's mower before we leave to cut the newly reclassified lawn area so the guy who does our lawn will know its good to go for him, also. This, too, was hot and miserable work.
All that said, it was no wonder that I fell asleep in the chair for going on nearly three hours this evening.
Consider this my, "Adios!"

Without a doubt. I don't think he gives a shit what you, I or anyone says.
Has nothing to do with your criticism of Bondi who is doing a great job defending the lawfare by the leftwing establishment. It's facts which you ignore. Look at the court cases.
The best illegal immigration enforcement we've ever had is going on right now. Bondi is the AG. Trump likes her. Epstein is dead and Maxwell is in prison.

I'll take the wins and even enjoy them. I assume you do not remember similarly structured conversations you and I had over Barr. That's okay. I do. Maybe because I care about you more than Trump does; wouldn't that be ironic.
I was vindicated on that one, and time and Bondi will - without a question of a doubt - do the same here.

I think we've beat this horse pretty good. I'm happy letting the course of human events run its race.
As others have pointed out at times, I have the easier side on this one - betting on people to be corrupt or to betray is very often a mortal lock.
The best you can hope for is that Bondi represents the best of what can be done by an earnest man given Congress, etc. I find that difficult to believe but not impossible.

I think the DOJ and Bondi are being aggressive in defending the administration's immigration actions and policies.
But the Epstein mess was managed very, very badly, and the appearance of impropriety is awful.
Do I think Trump is implicated? No.
Do I think that he misunderstands why people care about Epstein? Yes.
Regardless of what really went on, Bondi mishandled it.
FYI... I think she sucks when it comes to the 2nd Amendment, so I am predisposed to dislike her.
