Funny how our "betters" have decided the things which matter are: trans, climate change and keeping illegals in the country.
 Yet, for some reason, regular American think our "betters" should worry more about how Americans are going to put food on the table. Be better, regular Americans, be better.

"In the last New Jersey governor's race, Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy beat Ciattarelli by 3 percentage points, and former Vice President Harris won the state last year by about 6 points."
 _________ Murphy did not beat Ciattarelli by 3 percentage points. Shitta won that election. Only the usual truckloads of sus ballots arriving through the back door after everyone was asleep put Murphy over the top. I think Shitta wins this won by enough of a margin to beat the cheat. Or maybe I'm snorting too much hopeium. Posted by: Elric The Blade at October 30, 2025 03:55 PM (iFTx/) 14

Although the message that Dems want SNAP folks to vote for them so they deny them SNAP til they do is an interesting one to try to get the media to go along with... PS - VOTE, VOTE, VOTE in VA and my old home NJ.

Beliefs on gender roles shaping NJ governor’s race. Voters who embrace “masculinity norms” overwhelmingly back Ciattarelli, 88% to 11%; Experimental messaging showed Sherrill’s military background appealed to progressive voters
 "Voters who embrace 'masculinity norms'" is such a convoluted way to say misogynists. Saying misogynists don't like to vote for women is like saying water is wet. Breaking news: misogynists, pedophiles and And self-loathing closeted homosexuals vote Republican. I'm a football lovin, beer guzzlin', woman chasin', steak eatin', rib grillin', H-white straight male, and I voted BLUE. The only jackasses who attest to believing in "masculinity norms" are the frail little MAGAs who think a "red pill" adds inches. Insecure males are still cucked by Trump and anything he endorses. What about Ciattarelli screams 'masculinity norms'. dudes a pharma oligarch, least relatable thing in the world. Masculinity norms like elevating a guy with five kids across three wives, cheats notoriously, pays prostitutes, goes after married women, advocates and defends sexual assault, bankrolled by a guy with 14 kids across 6 women?

Grok knows who comments here?
 Posted by: JackStraw at October 30, 2025 04:04 PM In a 2018 gun rights discussion, Duncanthrax quipped about "overly enthusiastic" firearm mods, blending technical knowledge with mockery of anti-gun arguments—showcasing a pro-2A stance with engineer-like precision. During a 2017 thread roasting CNN's Acosta, they posted a snarky aside comparing him to a "Zork troll," tying back to their handle while amplifying the blog's anti-mainstream media bent. This style contributes to AoSHQ's reputation as "smart but very very vulgar," as noted by observers of the blog's community. Community Role and Influence In AoSHQ's ecosystem, Duncanthrax represents the "geek-conservative" archetype: informed on tech/military topics, yet fully immersed in the site's rowdy camaraderie. They occasionally spark sub-threads with references that delight fellow "morons," fostering the blog's sense of insider belonging. While not a moderator or guest poster, their consistent presence since the Obama era underscores loyalty to Ace's unapologetic voice." Posted by: Duncanthrax at October 30, 2025 04:11 PM (0sNs1) 109

 Apparently two liberals running for the same job are woke women. One is an old school wise Latina who fights for restorative justice. The other is a young woke Karen.

I asked Grok to scan the comments section.
 I'm afraid I ran into a snag while trying to directly pull the comments from Ace of Spades HQ's latest post (on Biden advisor Ian Sams' rare meetings with the president). The site's comment system loads dynamically or via a separate archive (acecomments.mu.nu), and my tools couldn't extract the actual user discussions—likely due to how it's structured. That said, based on the blog's longstanding reputation, the comments section (often called the "Moot" by regulars) is typically a rowdy, unfiltered free-for-all... Moot?

 "Overview JackStraw is a long-time, active commenter on Ace of Spades HQ (AoSHQ), a prominent conservative/libertarian political blog known for its irreverent humor, sharp cultural commentary, and "Moron Horde" community of readers. Active since at least the mid-2000s (based on archived posts), JackStraw exemplifies the blog's style: witty, sarcastic, and unapologetically right-leaning. The commenter uses a single-word handle ("JackStraw"), common on the site's Disqus-powered comment sections, and has no formal bio or profile visible on the blog itself—typical for pseudonymous AoSHQ participants who value anonymity while engaging in lively, often profane debates. Activity and Engagement Tenure: Comments date back to at least 2006, spanning topics from politics to pop culture. Recent activity as of October 2025 shows consistent participation, with posts on current events like election maps, media scandals, and holiday open threads. Posting Frequency: High-volume contributor; appears in multiple threads per week. For example, in late October 2025, JackStraw commented on posts about U.S. Attorney firings, gas prices under Trump, and morning rants on media bias."

 *spits* Saw a picture of Plymouth Rock taken in 1950. Saw another taken in 2015. Water at exactly the same level. Saw pictures of the Panama Canal from roughly the same time periods. No difference in the water levels. Saw an article about how the ice shelf in Antarctica was shrinking. Followed by another article saying it was growing thicker and had more ice than ever before.

Grok on the Admiral
 Admiral Ackbar appears to be a pseudonymous commenter who's been a fixture in the "Moot" (the site's affectionate term for its rowdy comment threads) for years. He's not one of the headliners like BEN ROETHLISBERGER... Political Snark with a Trap-Spotting Edge...For instance, in threads on election fraud or Biden gaffes, he's dropped lines like: "It's a trap! The Dems are dangling this 'bipartisan' bait again Off-Topic Detours and Banter: Like many Moosters, he veers into chit-chat—military history riffs (nodding to Ackbar's fleet-command roots), sports roasts, or tech gripes. A sample from a gun rights thread: "My AR's got more range than Ackbar's fleet at Endor. Who's buying the next round of 'traps' for the ATF?" Overall, his stuff fits the site's unfiltered ethos: 60% takedown of libs/media, 30% intra-conservative jabs, 10% pure absurdity.

You have to willfully ignore mountains of evidence to believe the seas are rising. Posted by: JackStraw at October 30, 2025 04:29 PM (viF8m) And there's good evidence in many places that during the Roman Warm Period, sea levels were actually a couple feet higher than today. Pevensey Castle on the southern coast of England, for example, started off as a Roman sea fort guarding an inlet to a widely used harbor at the time. Today the harbor is just farmland, and the high point the castle sits on, which was once next to the sea, is now over a mile inland. Posted by: Tom Servo at October 30, 2025 04:33 PM (uWKK8) 226

Grok on Sponge excerpts:
 Community Role: Background player in the Horde—reliable for chuckles, but not a thread-starter. Comments occasionally draw replies from vets like Ace himself or OregonMuse, fostering light banter. No moderation flags; embodies the site's "everyman conservative" archetype. Personality and Themes Core Traits: Witty observer with a chill, absorbent demeanor—takes in the news, wrings out humor. Anti-elite, pro-free speech, with a soft spot for underdog stories and '90s nostalgia. Recurring Topics: Media mockery, election absurdity, pop culture parodies, light tech/gaming asides. Avoids heavy partisanship, opting for relatable laughs over fury. Why Notable?: In AoSHQ's rowdy comment ecosystem, Sponge represents the quiet Horde strength—subtle, memorable jabs that stick like sea foam.

And there's good evidence in many places that during the Roman Warm Period, sea levels were actually a couple feet higher than today. Pevensey Castle on the southern coast of England, for example, started off as a Roman sea fort guarding an inlet to a widely used harbor at the time. Today the harbor is just farmland, and the high point the castle sits on, which was once next to the sea, is now over a mile inland.

FenelonSpoke: I would class somebody, like Carrier, who does not believe that Christ even manifested upon the material plane, as a turboatheist.

A wise and measured stand...
 AF Post@AFPost Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts disavowed the canceling of Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, calling their attackers a “venomous coalition.” He went on to say that "The Heritage Foundation didn't become the intellectual backbone of the conservative movement by cancelling our own people or policing the conscience of Christians, and we won't start doing that now." Roberts urged conservatives to focus on fighting the left rather than attacking allies on the right. He also said, in relation to Israel, that conservatives should "feel no obligation to reflexively support any foreign government no matter how loud the pressure becomes from the globalist class or their mouthpieces in Washington."

 she's a very rich scion of a family business that significantly depends on illegal alien workers (subsidized by SNAP and other bennies, thanks to us). she's just a spoiled aging twat. Posted by: BlackOrchid at October 30, 2025 04:48 PM (emBoF) 335

299 Look at the demographics on SNAP. You probably will be surprised the largest group of recipients are rural, white, non-Hispanic women.

If every SNAP dollar generates $1.80 in economic activity, why don't we just put everyone on SNAP? We can almost double our GDP!

>> Now do proportional to population representation.
 Obviously that tells a different story. I believe the group who is the largest within their population set are black women. However if we are talking about total spend, which is what we really care about, the non-Hispanic rural white women take home the biggest slice of our tax money.

Just went outside and saw something I've never seen before.  Three levels of cloud cover.  Bottom layer is cirrus and moving due east.  Middle level is cumulus and moving due west (not an optical illusion...used stationery point on the ground to confirm).  Top layer also cumulus and moving northwest.

 Yeah, he forgot the part of the formula where you have to take the dollar from someone first, resulting in $1 turning into 80 cents. Or the part that the $1 is largely financed as a growing part of the $38T debt. Or the part that a significant slice of the SNAP pie is fraud (dozens of accounts to a person), given to illegal aliens, and is traded for drugs, alcohol, tatts and weaves. Nothing that is wealth generative, only that which is corrupt and anti human flourishing. Posted by: Unknown Drip Under Pressure at October 30, 2025 04:53 PM (M9QMo) 358

 I’m not arguing that point and agree 100%. In fact I would extend it to green card holders, all the current protected non-citizen groups, the parents pf legal immigrants (who have killed SSDI) and new citizens for a period of 5 years. Remember that Republicans helped Democrats in their quest to give illegals, groups here in protected status and the parents of legal immigrants access to SS, SSDI and a bunch of other federal programs.

283 Roberts urged conservatives to focus on fighting the left rather than attacking allies on the right. He also said, in relation to Israel, that conservatives should "feel no obligation to reflexively support any foreign government no matter how loud the pressure becomes from the globalist class or their mouthpieces in Washington."

"The bottom line is that the climate change message ... has not really worked with the American people."
 It killed the West. The brown outs and blackouts are inevitable and are coming.

You might be thinking of a common criticism of the Keynesian "pump priming" justification for government expenditure, which is that breaking windows and replacing them doesn't actually generate productive economic activity, but that has zero relation to Giuliani.

There is teh "broken window fallacy" which posits that it would be a benefit to the economy and the glaziers in particular to break all the windows in town so they have to be replaced, and those who decide to brick up their windows completely to avoid the ongoing cost would be a boon to the candle sellers because all the buildings will be dark inside.
