"It ALWAYS comes back to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton"

“How did Iran get so close to a nuclear weapon? Let's follow the money
Hillary Clinton becomes Barack Obama's Secretary of State in 2009. During her tenure from 09-13, there were 4 companies that donated large amounts of money to the Clinton Foundation.
Those companies are Boeing, Airbus Total and Siemens. Their donation amounts total up to $25 million, but no less than $5 million. There's not exact numbers. Perhaps. They were hoping to influence Obama and Hillary as they were negotiating with Iran trying to get the nuclear deal signed, which they eventually did In 2015.
On July 14th, 2015, the JCPOA was signed lifting sanctions off of Iran and unfreezing 50 to $150 billion in cash assets.
And then between January 17th and February 5th, 2016, Obama sent $1.7 billion in untraceable cash to Iran.
This money presented an untraceable foreign currency was said to be a settlement for a 1979 arms deal with Iran. That was $400 million, but with $1.3 billion in interest, at least that's what the Obama administration said. It was later on that February, the Obama administration tried to secretly grant Iran access to U.S treasury payment system, which would have netted them $5.7 billion in currency conversion if it hadn't failed. (The banks were like, what the f*ck is this? Hell no.)
Later on that year, in April of 2016, the Obama administration dropped charges to several Iranian arms dealers so they wouldn't derail the JCPOA.
This really pissed off Obama's Department of Justice, but Obama had to maintain his legacy. And then between March and December of 2016 is when Airbus got an $18 billion contract because of the lifted sanctions in Iran. Boeing got a $16.6 billion contract total, got a $4.8 billion contract, and Siemens got a $1 billion contract with Iran, or I should say Iranian regime controlled companies.
But then in November, the unthinkable happens and Hillary Clinton loses the 2016 election to Donald Trump, and suddenly these 4 companies no longer donate to the Clinton Foundation ever again.

Feel good story

Dozens of Strangers Form Parade for Man With Cancer–Driving Classic Cars Past his Home for One Last Surprise

A Colorado man was given a heartwarming surprise last week, after his granddaughter reached out to strangers who provided one last look at his favorite thing—a classic car show.
“I just wanted to do something special for him,” his granddaughter, Annaliesse Garcia, told KDVR News.
And ‘special’ it was, as dozens of car owners paraded past their grandfather’s home in Lakewood.
After posting the request on social media, the family only expected a handful of autos, but around 50 showed off their curvy bumpers and round mirrors for 80-year-old Max Archuleta, a lifelong fan of vintage vehicles.
Since being diagnosed with terminal cancer, he no longer has the energy to attend his beloved car shows.

Reviving Timeless Threads: Persian Women's Fashion Through the Ages

From the grandeur of ancient empires to the vibrant styles of the mid-20th century, Persian women's attire has reflected strength, artistry, and adaptation. As the Persians fight for their very existence, we pay tribute to this enduring spirit.

Achaemenid Elegance: Foundations of Feminine Grace (550–330 BCE)

The Achaemenid Empire set the stage for Persian fashion, blending functionality with opulence across a vast realm. Women's clothing, though less frequently depicted than men's in artifacts like Persepolis reliefs, emphasized layered modesty and luxury.

High-status women wore ankle-length robes with intricate pleats and folds, often belted at the waist to create a flowing silhouette. These were crafted from fine linen, wool, or imported silk, dyed in rich purples, reds, and golds—colors symbolizing royalty and derived from natural sources like madder root or saffron. A veil or shawl draped over the shoulders added elegance, sometimes secured with jeweled brooches. Headwear included turreted crowns or diadems adorned with gems, framing bobbed or braided hair. Jewelry was abundant: gold necklaces, earrings, and armlets highlighted status, while soft leather shoes completed the ensemble.

This attire wasn't just practical for Persia's diverse climates; it embodied empowerment, as women in the empire held property rights and influenced court life.

Parthian Practicality: Mobility and Multicultural Flair (247 BCE–224 CE)

Under the Parthians, nomadic influences merged with Persian traditions, creating versatile clothing suited for an equestrian lifestyle. Women's fashion evolved to prioritize movement while retaining decorative elements.

Typical outfits featured long-sleeved tunics or dresses, layered over trousers for horseback riding—a groundbreaking adaptation that spread across Asia. Fabrics like wool and silk were embroidered with geometric patterns or floral motifs, influenced by Silk Road trade. Belts cinched the waist, often embellished with gold or silver buckles. Veils were common, pinned with ornate clasps, and tiaras or serrated headscarves added height and drama. Colors ranged from earthy tones to vibrant blues and greens, with jewelry like rectangular earrings and necklaces enhancing the look.

Parthian women, depicted in sculptures and textiles, embodied a blend of warrior spirit and grace, foreshadowing modern activewear's focus on comfort and style.

Sasanian Splendor: Peak of Pre-Islamic Luxury (224–651 CE)

The Sasanian era amplified Achaemenid grandeur, with women's clothing reaching new heights of sophistication before the Arab conquest. Noble women donned flowing gowns with wide sleeves and neck openings, made from brocaded silk or cotton embroidered with gold threads and mythical motifs like simurgh birds. These were belted and layered, sometimes with an outer cloak for formality. Headgear evolved to include tall, tasseled headdresses or veils fastened with pearl strands, complementing elaborate braids adorned with metallic ornaments. Footwear ranged from laced boots to pointed slippers, often in leather or fabric.

This opulent style, seen in rock carvings and silverware, highlighted women's roles in rituals and society, influencing later Islamic fashions while preserving Zoroastrian motifs.

Pre-1979 Vibes: A Fusion of Freedom and Flair

Before the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iranian women's fashion mirrored a period of modernization under the Pahlavi dynasty, blending Western trends with local elements.
Urban women embraced miniskirts, bell-bottom jeans, short-sleeved blouses, and colorful dresses, often paired with big hair and bold makeup. Bikinis at beaches and swimsuits were common, reflecting a liberal era. In rural areas, traditional chadors or regional dresses persisted, but overall, fashion symbolized progress, with influences from global pop culture.

This era's diversity, captured in vintage photos, evokes nostalgia for a time of personal choice, contrasting with post-revolution mandates.

In 2026, Iran's mandatory dress code for women, established after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, remained in effect under the Islamic Penal Code and the "Hijab and Chastity" law. Women and girls over the age of 9 are legally required to cover their hair with a hijab (headscarf) in public spaces, and their clothing must be modest, covering the arms, legs, and body shape to adhere to Islamic principles. Violations resulted in fines, arrests, flogging, or imprisonment, though enforcement varies by region—stricter in rural areas or during crackdowns, and more relaxed in urban centers like Tehran where defiance is common.

Prayers to Weave the Past into the Present

Persian women's fashion, from ancient empires to pre-1979 streets, tells a story of innovation and identity. This legacy reminds us of Persia's unbreakable cultural weave, elegant and inspiring. May they soon be able to remove their head coverings with impunity.

Thanks, Piper!

25 So...it looks like the left is really about to dump global warmination.

We've seen a bunch of lefty oligarchs come out and say global warming isn't that big of a deal...because they want massive increases in energy infrastructure to build more AI data centers.

But the message has been received. I was watching a Jason Pargin video and he went on a path of arguing that he grew up (in the 80s) with pop culture saying population growth or nuclear war would kill everyone and oh hey that didn't happen - the problems we have now aren't related to either...Just like how in 50 years no one will be worrying about global warming...

Presuming you've washed everything, what's wrong with drying your face with the same towel you use for the rest of you?

Do women keep a hidden stash of towels somewhere, so they have one for their face, one for general body parts, one for underarms, one for feet, one for privates, and one for buttcrack? Or do some of the religiously-unclean areas get combined?

57 In the 60s and 70s the global doom mongers were warning about the “Coming Ice Age”. I vaguely recall Spock narrating “In Search Of” about this. Students were routinely told the entire world would “completely run out of oil” by 1990, and Acid Rain was killing all the lakes and trees, Ozone burned a hole in the atmosphere, etc etc.

It was like a light switch was thrown. Gone were the optimistic, Can Do Americans, better living through chemistry and higher standard of living, replaced with …. recession, lay offs, monetary inflation, oil embargoes, debby downers everywhere. More monetary inflation, shitty cars, more layoffs. It was brutal. Then, fucking Jimmy Carter in his goddamned sweater.

Just finished watching a neat little B & W suspenser from 1958, Cry Terror, with James Mason, Rod Steiger, and Inger Stevens, plus Jack Klugman, Angie Dickinson, and Neville Brand. It's an odd little film about what we'd call a terrorist/hostage situation today; Steiger's character is extorting half a million from an airline with the threat of small bombs aboard their planes, bombs created (unknowingly) by Mason. Some of the transitions between scenes, and the setups for others, are kind of peculiar. But it is exciting.

97 Before Global Worming became a thing there was much talk for a few years about a tax on carbon, sometimes called the Tobin tax iirc. Then on the usual principle they will be sure to tell you what’s on their mind, and on top of that won’t shut the fuck up, sometime around the late 80s or early 90s maybe we started getting the “earth is getting warmer” doom mongers coupled with “green house gases” or “greenhouse effect”.

Steady and relentless drumbeat, and it just sort of morphed into the present day “climate emergency!” and they plan on outlawing coal, gasoline and diesel, and production agriculture. Sort of the Morgenthau Plan, on acid.

109 The Sign of Four I had not read since I was ten. I found it to be remarkably exciting, with a boat chase on the Thames, for example -- a very visual story.

Doyle's use of flashback to America in Scarlet and later in Valley of Fear annoyed me when I was young -- I wanted to read about Holmes! But when I finally sat down with VoF a few years ago I found the entire "inner story" to be fascinating.

110 This money presented an untraceable foreign currency was said to be a settlement for a 1979 arms deal with Iran. That was $400 million, but with $1.3 billion in interest, at least that's what the Obama administration said.

Our media are accomplices to this massive scam. It seems like I am the only one in the fucking world that said "why the fuck are we giving Iran billions of dollars???" I know the Obamas and Clintons enriched themselves with this deal which is why Democrats fight so hard to get into office in the first place, but they accelerated the development of Iran's nuclear program and tried to leave the US with our pants completely down.

It could also be the Aussie version of the card, along the lines of the observation that:

In America, the "C" word is equivalent to the "N" word and should never be spoken aloud.

In Britain, the "C" word is quite rude and should never be used in mixed company.

In Australia, the "C" word is basically punctuation.....

I don't day drink, but when I found out earlier he was dead I poured a shot and gave a toast I can't repeat here in front of the ladies.

168 True story re: shoe shining.

Worked in an outer office for a Captain while stationed in Germany in the 80s. We had 'spit shine offs'. It was 50% 'how deep can you make it shine' and 50% doing everything possible to ruin the other guys' shine.

He walked in one day and started to yell at me, then had me stand to attention. It was just a ruse to get me up from my desk, and he ground the sole of his boot on the toe of mind. All I could do was eat it. "Go back to work".

2 hours later, I got on my belly, low crawled into his office and under the front of his desk. Took a pocket knife and literally shaved 10 hours of work off the toe of his boot.

I told him: "Go back to work, Sir."

I miss that guy.

Stupid questions. If you washed your balls, then they are clean when they encounter the towel. If you are just wiping ball sweat off, then you are a disgusting person, and the towel should be burnt.

Simple enough.

No reason why balls can't be as clean as your face.

* acting ayatollah to temporarily replace Khamanei
* Dinner Jacket
* new (3rd recent?) Hezbollah leader

Hezbollah's parliamentary chief apparently has been term-limited. Possible that - hard as it is to believe - he was part of a Hezb leadership confab (along with current towel-weaing leader) and, once again, Israel said well thank you, that saves time.

I use a tea towel for my face. (I also use a separate face cloth from the one I use for my body, and yet another one for my Lady Bits.) I use paper towels to dry my feet, underarms, and my LadyBits.

I wash my face towels separately from the other towels, and my Lady Bit cloth, and all separate from Thor's towels and face cloths.
I used to just by bulk wash rags from Walmart and never re-use wash cloths at all ( they all went in the rag bag or were donated), but Thor was annoyed by that, and I ~~am a docile, submissive wife~~ pick my battles, so this was the compromise.

The Israelis supposedly have a sort of LLM that assigns value to various individuals as enemy targets, and balances them against where they are at, or supposed to be and the possible collateral damage in buildings and civilians according to the accuracy of the weapons being used. This was supposedly what they were using in West Bank and Gaza following Oct 7

That towel then goes down on the floor outside the shower where I step out, towel dry the hair, then dry off the feet with the bath towel. No wet bath mat! DH leaves wet foot prints all over the bathroom, despite the nice plush bath mat. The washcloth is for my face. Simple!

326 First of all, I wash my balls and ass, so they're both clean as a whistle.

Second is, the top down approach when drying. Hair, face, torso then ballsack.

Third, toilet paper for the ass. If you're using your towel for scrubbing, you're doing it wrong.

Not kidding. If a V-twin engine has chinese parts we call it a V-chin. Example- You used that garbage? You built a V-chin.

Thankfully, it is very rare to see yang poon parts in an engine. If they are there, they won't be for long. The question is how much of the good stuff does it destroy. Chinese parts in an engine work like suicide bombers.

Probably accurate. Miyagi was japanese, and the japanese make excellent replacement quality harley parts. If I can't find USA I'm looking for the japanese stuff.

SUpposedly rescued after grilling food on a open range in the craft. Which spit grease all over the craft. But of course it was 'space debris' that caused them to be rescued. Not the dumb fuck stunt that made no sense.

First time I heard it I laughed my ass off. I usually say V-chin, but one shop I worked out of was owned by a friend of mine who had me do his engines if I wasn't at other shops. He was working on a bike on the lift and he was having trouble with something, and I he yells yang poon! I turn around and he's holding the part up and facing me and repeats it..Yang Poon!!. His wife happened to be there, and she comes walking into the shop and he hold the part up to her and says Yang poon!!! It stuck after that. It spread among the shops I worked out of. Now all chinese parts are yang poon. For it is written.

350 Grilling in zero-G? Seriously? Imagine grease, smoke, and volatiles in a weightless environment.

Gotta think the manual says "no open grilling in space".

I suspect their next supply run will include personal re-entry parachutes, and a small ass-mounted rockets. Enter spacesuit with both attached, leave station, and light your ass on fire. Get closer, and deploy the chute.

352 Doin' okay, Debby. Just saw your email from earlier this week-- hadn't checked since last weekend-- nothing new happening, so didn't make a reply.

Sniffles are done, but I'm *blah* lately even though weather has been fairly nice.. can't find the energy to do much. Still sorting paperwork because I hate doing it and don't stick to the project for very long.

353 UK Cyprus airbase hit again. IDF pushes start button on planned offensive in southern Lebanon. Several IAF airstrikes had no evacuation warnings. Could have been situational (no civvies at risk), or "gloves coming a bit off".

356 Also born this date: Bill Leen, March 1, 1962, founding member and bassist for the Gin Blossoms until their 1997 breakup. In this video, you can see him rocking the characteristic "split coil" of a Fender Precision Bass, which has a "beefy" sound and sits neatly in the frequency range between the drum kit and the guitars. Music producers like the instrument for simplifying the job of making a clean mix, and bassists like it for being simple and easy to use -- a "one-trick pony," but what a trick, that "just works" effortlessly for almost any genre.
