The Mystery of the Talarico Disappearance
There's a lot of speculation going on, which, unlike in the case of the Charlie Kirk murder, is completely justified because we have a legitimate mystery which James Talarico refuses to resolve himself.
I say it's the AIDS Crazies, but other people have their own theories. The big theory is, of course, that James Talarico had a mental health crisis and checked himself in to an Ohio mental health facility. Is there evidence for this? Well, some. A private plane flew from Austin to an airfield close by the Lindner Center of Hope in Mason, Ohio. Which itself is interesting because that mental health facility was used by one of Talarico's friends and close political supporters.Caroline WrenOf course, the big huge evidence is that reporters called the mental health facility in question and a representative there confirmed Talarico had been treated there, but had just been released. Now the hospital is denying this, but the original admission is on audiotape, and one can imagine that if they unwisely disclosed Talarico's presence there they would have to scramble to deny it due to rules about patient confidentiality.
@CarolineWren
What are the chances that a private plane took off from Austin and flew to tiny Hamilton airport in Ohio which is 20 mins from the Lindner Center, a private inpatient mental health treatment facility, and then turned around and flew back to Austin landing yesterday morning at 10:24am right before James Talarico magically reappears at the Austin City Limits music festival that afternoon? Lindner Center also happens to be the same facility that Talarico's good friend and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo spent 7 weeks in when she had a mental breakdown 3 years ago...
The nation's Democrat Propaganda Outfit of Record says trust us, we have secret evidence we can't share that Talarico has just been at home for some of these past 12 days. There are many problems here: 1, that doesn't prove that he didn't check himself into a mental health facility. Even taking that as true, we could only conclude he wasn't at a mental health facility for 8 of the 12 days. Self check-ins to mental health facilities are often short stays of 48 hours or 72 hours, my extensive experience in reading detective fiction tells me. 2, this "evidence" is shared by intense partisans -- the campaign itself -- and cannot be trusted. Nor can the intense partisans at the NYT, who will not share the information. 3, even if the claim were true, that would not explain why a 37 year old "man" disappears from the campaign trail for 12 straight days in the closing hours of the campaign to make photo collages and put together his own look books. 4, another reporter says it's not true, and no one has seen anyone at Talarico's home since the disappearance:
Talarico's own claims are varied and contradictory:
James Talarico 2 weeks ago: “I went to the urgent care here in Dallas.”
Now he’s saying he only visited his primary care physician. What is Talarico hiding? https://t.co/eYvL9Ynprt— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) October 11, 2026
I didn’t make up anything. Talarico bailed for 12+ days in the middle of the most important campaign in the country and his campaign handled it like a bunch of novices who were covering something up. Grown men don’t disappear like that.
He must explain himself. You can’t fix this for him, sorry.— Andrew Kolvet (@AndrewKolvet) October 12, 2026
ShipwreckedcrewIs there evidence he employs an army of paid bots and influencers? Why yes there is!
@shipwreckedcrew The Memo has gone out to the Lib Influencers: "Knock this story down by posting that everyone is going to get sued for posting rumors about Talarico." Hey Libs -- it would not be so hard to decipher your coordinated messaging if you all could resist the urge to post the same thing at the same time. "Coordinated Messaging" = False = Propaganda.
Paul A. Szypula 🇺🇸
@Bubblebathgirl As if Talarico's campaign isn't already having a bad day, a New York Times report released Sunday says dozens of TikTok accounts were paid $4 per 1,000 views to post positive clips about him. The company behind the payments is Frontier Media. Naturally his campaign says it had nothing to do with it. The money Frontier Media used to pay for pro-Talarico social content had to come from somewhere. These paid "clippers" weren't a tiny side effort. They accounted for nearly a quarter of the Talarico-related videos the Times looked at in a 24-hour window. The money's source is still unclear and Frontier Media has no visible FEC filings. The campaign's denial is noted, but the volume of paid content is not. Follow the money is the obvious course of action. Between today's blockbuster mental health facility claims and now this NYT article on paid support for Talarico, it's unthinkable that his campaign survives the week let alone a debate or election. Organic support is one thing. A network of accounts getting paid by the view to flood the platform with positive clips is another. Voters can tell the difference. The appearance of a spontaneous online army collapses once the payments are documented. That's what the Times just did. It should be mentioned that a man in the U.S. just got sentenced to jail for artificially creating consumption of his AI songs on streaming services. There should be similar penalties for artificially creating support for a political candidate, without disclosing it, on social media. The fraud is for profit. In the streaming case financially, in the Talarico case politically and also financially. Both are clearly immoral and should be criminal.

Huh?
How can he be well enough to work every day -- even if just low-effort paper-pushing -- but not well enough for a zoom call, a phone call, or even a social media post? That makes no sense at all.
He and his campaign are clearly lying about why he was gone. They're not helping themselves either.

The holes in this one were evident pretty quickly. Now the big question is will there be lawsuits in response?
It's obvious BS. If Talarico had actually had a mental breakdown, why would he go to Ohio for treatment and not, say, anywhere in his home state? Why wouldn’t he simply have someone come to him?
MAGA are so scared and desperate. Shall we send them a fruit basket??
Nah, send them a basket of dildos. Just like people did to those fucks that took over that wildlife refuge in Oregon. That was awesome, the whiny little fucks had to beg people to stop sending them dildos.
Lies are about all they’ve got left… Well… That and voter intimidation and post-vote ballot seizures…
The last three political candidates with clear, demonstable mental issues--Feinstein, Fetterman, and Trump--won their elections, so I'm not sure this is really the attack angle the Republicans think it is...
Legally it IS libel, and they're in "Carol Burnett" territory. (National Enquirer published a malicious and provably false libel, she took them to court **and won.**)

I still return to people calling a stomach virus or a regular cold "flu." If it was "real" flu (Influenza A or B) there has been a drug, Tamiflu, for decades. This shortens the length of illness and blunts side effects.
Twelve days for influenza? Nah. It used to be (pre-covid) a week. With lingering cough that can possibly then lead to mycoplasma and "walking pneumonia" as a secondary infection.
I say pre-covid as I believe this is in every infection now and the common cold of 7days goes longer. Another of my theories due to observing it with family and myself. Making me hate the chy knee more often for their man made plandemic.
If he had the shigella ghey shites, I am unsure the duration of that without antibiotics. However, altho I am reading it can be antibiotic resistant, there are antibiotics for regular shigella shites.
I still prefer the grocery store raciss story of him calling a black youth a n and some other stuff. Because the boy would not let him ahead in line, with King T. only having two items. This would destroy his election.

I think he's just a weak-willed millennial (I am a millennial as well) who is not used to serious work like months' long campaigning and just decided to take a break. Whether that was at his home because of "the flu" or whether he did go to Ohio for the mental health break, it doesn't matter.
He also probably knows that he has no chance and has known for a while, so all the hard work felt pointless. Why not just take a few days?

That seems the only explanation for why he would literally disappear for two weeks. Even if he was in the looney bin, they could have staged some kind of zoom call or something as proof of life.
But even as calls grew for "where's James?" he still stayed hidden. Why? Why couldn't the gimp at least make a zoom call?
I think it's because he was in the hospital tied up to machines.

********
HIPPA law clearly states that unless the facility had Telerico's consent, his name should not have been given by phone or discussed as him being a patient there.
When trauma's enter the ED they are given a code name. My job as a RN case manager was to contact family after the police or hwy patrol gave me the ID. I was present in the trauma room when the patient arrived. They are then entered into the computer system with their real names. Large screens in ED's, for decades, have been hidden from public view and for staff use only. If a staff member is not in direct patient care with a patient they can be fired for looking at the records. This happens with famous people as patients and nosy staff look...which then targets them with IT, and they are fired.
The lady who answered the phone, as of yesterday, was fired, no doubt. Of course they are going to lie about it as it is federal law. On top of lawsuits they can lose licensure and Medicare/Medicaid status from Joint Commission.

Veteran political journalist Jim Acosta said Monday that President Donald Trump has revealed a "25th Amendment crisis" on the country's hands as he stumps for Republicans in formerly safe districts.
Acosta joined former Republican lawyer George Conway on the debut episode of his podcast, "Psycho Politics," where the two reacted to some of the comments Trump has made during his recent rallies. They played a clip of the president boasting to a crowd, "I could say the stupidest things, and you would clap."

I live in a very blue dot inside a sea of red. Every election season my neighborhood is plastered with every possible Democrat running. From President to senate to gov to state rep to dog catcher. In contrast there is virtually nothing for Republicans.
Every election, the Democrat never cracks 40%.
Quantity of lawn signs is really not indicative of anything.

I do it reluctantly, knowing their limited efficacy, because the last two times I had the flu were pretty bad. It's a gamble. When I see the doc, I'll ask for one of the old "tried-and-true" vaxes, and not the new mRNA stuff.
Posted by: gp at October 13, 2026 12:36 PM (Jr5Lq)
**********
I do the same since Influenza B knocked us all out for a week in the late '80's. So far so good and no mRNA for us, either.
That last flu gave me mild lung issues and unlike others I am a believer that it either has stopped me from flu or will lessen symptoms..and yes, I would ask for Tamiflu if I ever get it again (please no).

When there's this back and forth about who is desperate for a debate and who is not, most of the time, the one desperate for a debate is losing and knows it and wants the debate to change the direction of the race.
Paxton refusing to debate is a signal that he knows that Texas is a Trump+14 state that isn't going to swing 15 points to the left because of Talarico.

He is not going to lose the black vote. The black vote is partisan in general elections.
However, it's not going to help with his turnout issues with black voters. Jasmine keeps signalling to them that they don't need to support him because of his racist campaign against here and that he's such a mediocre white man (no lies detected), and I think she's just voicing what the black electorate in Texas (and perhaps further afield) already feels about candidates they didn't choose as a racial bloc this cycle.
Talarico will win 85% of the black vote.
But it'll be 11% of the electorate instead of 13%.

That's not how it works.
The flu almost always comes from China. It's because they have pig farmers who basically cohabitate with their pigs. CDC and other groups keep track of infections in the region.
At any given time, there are three or four different variants floating around in the population. These variants aren't the same each year. They use this information to try to predict which variant is going to be the predominant one that takes off and jumps to the US. Then they spin up the flu shot production process for that variant.
Sometimes they're right, sometimes not.

In fact, I would bet it's basically SOP for these influencers.
I think it's high time advertisers filed class actions against these platforms for defrauding ad-buyers to the tune of billions. They know what's going on and give it a hand-wave. The fraud helps their balance sheets. X, YT, etc. should be made to pay up, of course, but also forced to provide transparency for pricing purposes.

Also the rides usually have backup restraints. Those big horseshoe restraints they clamp down on you are also held down by a manual clasp. But shit happens.

He's a really fat guy, getting accelerated maybe around 40 to 50 miles an hour, lateral change of direction - he isn't physically strong enough to hold himself in - because of the mass times acceleration thingy - hmm.
I guess that could happen. I mean, though, haven't an epic amount of fat people have ridden that thing before him and not gone flying off?????
So, I guess I'm still dubious.

Couple of things; it's not a hospital, and there appears to be two companies involved. The "Linder Center for HOPE" is one, and another is "Lindner Center of Hope Professional Associates," a separate 501c3. The LCforH does not list treatment in their filing, the LCofHPA does. If the 'administrator' worked for the facility not the treatment company, she may not be under HIPAA.

I love you guys but get weary post covid of reading about the war of regular injections.
I have mild asthma if I get a cold since the minor lung damage in the 80's from Influenza B.
Non of the shots since has bothered me in any way. I also have never gotten the flu since.
This is why it's my choice and I don't care and freely admit it. I also got the Tdap when our first grandson was born (pre-covid). No problems and it was recommended to protect him.
Big deal. Not mRNA, which I would never have. Believe me I check and if all goes to mRNA I will stop. Until then I carry on and will get the dam shot once I am over this sinus thing.

It looks like a bad design for heavy riders. If you're slimmer, that device is going to fit around your hips and clamp down. But if you're big, you'll need to really press down for that device to clamp around skeletal structure. If you don't press down enough, there's going to be room for your body to move when enough G-forces are pushing you around.

The Morning Rant
The ten states, including the District of Columbia, that had the highest rate of mental illness in 2023 to 2024 included: Oregon (31.6 percent), Vermont (29.1 percent), Washington, DC (29 percent), West Virginia (28.1 percent), Washington state (27.9 percent), New Hampshire (27.7 percent), Tennessee (27 percent), Maine (26.7 percent), Utah (26.7 percent), and Arkansas (26.6 percent).Show me the comparison between voting tendencies, self-proclaimed "gender," and mental illness! But... I think we all have a pretty good idea what that will tell us. Blue cities are far crazier than red rural areas. That's a guess, but I'll wager I am correct.

While there are 13 categories for Child with a Disability, all understandable.
But then there is also:
"PA schools: Emotional disturbance is defined at 34 CFR § 300.8(c)(4) as:
An inability to learn that cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors.
An inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers.
Inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances.
A general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression.
A tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems.
If a child is identified by a school district as "thought-to-be" disabled and in possible need of specially designed instruction under IDEA and Chapter 14, the district should move forward with a special education evaluation under IDEA and 22 PA Code Chapter 14."

A Washington think tank whose immigration program receives Soros funding has identified hundreds of American counties as destinations for migrants. 96.5% of selected counties are majority White .
Residents would have no say.
Its November 2025 immigration blueprint urges policymakers to “enable local governments and private entities to sponsor immigrants directly.” It also proposes state visa programs and “incentivizing new arrivals to stay in specific states and regions.”

well its not like either of your are wrong -
torturing the analogy further - there are some people with impaired immune systems who get sick quite a bit more than others. I suspect those with chronic mental health issues, have a system that makes them less resilient. Because its mental health, that system isn't just between your ears. It is also who and what you are around and what you put into your brain.
Most people suffer from depression, anxiety, obsessions (boobs) compulsions (Admiral Akbar) stuff like that but are functional or self limited. Others simply can't function without their obsession taking over their lives (Prometheus). Its a matter of degree, as with most things. Moderation in all things my fellow morons.

EV analysis is particular. You have to slice and dice and compare correctly to get anything predictive out of the numbers.
What I've seen across a handful of states that have started is a smaller base of leftists exhausting themselves out early through mail and early in person voting followed by steady work by Republicans to drive their numbers up.
EV tends to be won by Democrats in general (it's just voting behavior, akin to Democrats always winning Jackson, Mississippi) which doesn't mean that Democrats are suddenly winning. They won EV in 2024 and 2022 as well. But, election day trends heavily Republican and has since early voting started decades ago.
The margins Dems have tend to be smaller by % this year and with lower overall turnout.
You would not expect that in a blue wave election.

Some years ago, they changed the on-ramp near here...it used to be that the lane was the on-ramp to the next exit as well, but they "widened" the freeway and turned it into TWO lanes you had to merge out of in order to get to the freeway, with both the lanes on the right leading to the off-ramp. Lots more accidents after that change.
At least it wasn't changing a two-lane residential street into a two-way/one-lane residential street with two bike lanes...

Joke:
Psychotherapist had a meeting for people with excessive compulsions...this one for mothers with their children.
To the first woman he says, "You have a compulsion for sweets. You even named your daughter Candy."
To the second woman, "You have a compulsion for money, even naming your daughter Penny."
At this, the third woman gets, up, and says to her child, "C'mon Dick, we're leaving!"

I will say though that at least in my AO we people on the highway also try to block people from merging on.
As the person in the right hand lane you can see better then the merger. Either speed up or slow down so they can get in. Yes that means paying attention to the road instead of texting, doing your hair, or eating a salad.

It is a matter of degree. Does Chad become so morose that he won't get out of bed, eat, attempts suicide?
That is mental illness. I hadn't much contact with those struggling with mental illness until I had tucked a number of decades under my belt. I still don't really understand why things become pathologic for some people and not others. I don't think they are faking it. I have seen real pain, desperation even. I don't, for the life of me, understand it. To me its like -well just stop thinking that, or stop doing that or whatever. But just because the nature of the problem for some people exceeds my ability to grasp it, doesn't mean it isn't real. There's a shit ton of stuff I don't know.

It had been raining and he either didn't know how to drive in rain or had shitty tires. Either way as we went around a turn the car went into a spin skid...off the road.
As the car starting spinning in midair I figured I was about to die. It did a full 360 and after falling for a few feet it hit the ground...on to a feeder road that went back to the highway with us not only landing on it perfectly but driving in the correct direction. I assume this destroyed his shocks and maybe damaged his undercarriage but on one was hurt and the car still worked fine...

Many moons ago my wife had knee surgery and she legit got a handicap sticker for the recovery. Problem was the thing was valid for 3 years. Her recovery was something like 6 weeks. She stretched out the use of the sticker to maybe 3 months. Then she said fuck it Karma and all that and stopped using it.
However. I’m sure many unscrupulous people in her situation used it for the full 3 years. Probably renewed it too.

Ours is/was pretty low but not that low. Yes, we could have theoretically kept on investing what we paid off today and come out a little ahead but the peace of mind and not having that recurring payment every month was worth it, as we found ourselves in a spot where we had the liquid assets to just be done with it.
I understand the monetary arguments, but in the end they lost to "let's be done with this shit."

You don't pull in diagonal, or all the way on one side so when you open the door it swing well into the adjacent parking spot.
This is a yuge anger point for me as my car is very wide. No matter how or where I park -- even if I deliberately park well away in a spot not next to any other cars -- some fucknugget will always park right next to me. Do they not see that I don't want anyone parking next to me???

I like the way that the freeways are set up in much of Texas, with parallel frontage roads on either side that go for miles. If the freeway grinds to a near-halt, you can bail onto a frontage road, and maintain a decent 30 mph or so, including stops for lights.
In the Phoenix metro area, the freeways don't have frontage roads as such, but the valley is well-gridded with major 4-lane roads in both E-W and N-S alignments, so if the freeway shuts down, you can bail off onto a crossroad, follow it to the next major through road headed in your direction, and follow that (which is exactly what signs direct you to do when a section of freeway is closed for road repairs

The faces of the people in them look so similar they could be siblings.
This one is a brother and sister, because they look like the same face except the girl's is more feminine.

So, the lovely and apparently star-struck Mrs naturalfake wanted to see the new Tom Cruise movie, "Digger" and off we went to the Cineplex.
The movie itself is not very good, however it does have the germ of an interesting idea.
The problem really is three fold;
1) Despite gassing on and on about satire, the writer, director and stars(?) have no idea what satire is. At. All.
2)It indulges all of the progtard/DEI hate totems it can, and makes the movie messy and unfunny.
3) The movie actually has a pretty good climax were it structure differently with TC's big speech, which might've made a good satirical ending if properly followed up on. Buuuuut, the movie wants to push Greeny revenge, guilt and hate. Again unfunny and not satire.
Pretty much the only reason for this movie to exist is to give Tom Cruise a chance to deliver his own "You can't handle the truth" scene as in "AFew Good Men"
He does a great job with it.
TL/DR Makers should've watched "Dr Starngelove" a few hundred times more, they don't understand satire. A mess you can watch streaming.

The painting is based on a refrain from an old French or Breton song: "Alas, I know a love song, / Sad or happy, each in turn"
A medieval maiden plays a portable keyboard organ, an armor-clad knight listens in quiet contemplation, and Cupid (with arrows slung over his shoulder) slowly pumps the organ's bellows. A border of spring flowers symbolizing love and bitterness frames the foreground. (AI Overview)
Burne-Jones associated the scene with his affair with artist and model Maria Zambaco (1843–1914). As one critic said of this painting, "There is no story: nothing to guess at, but everything to feel." (The Met)

The Morning Report — 10/13 /26
The most likely scenario, multiple people claimed, is that immigration cops are looking into a long-floated rumor that Omar is actually one year older than she has long claimed to be — a tiny detail that may put her citizenship in jeopardy. “The big picture here is a federal judge in Washington, DC, signed off on a search warrant. That means there’s probable cause that a federal crime was committed, and there would be evidence of that crime in the area to be searched, which in this case was Representative Omar’s home,” former assistant US attorney Jonathan Fahey told The Post. Officials from DHS raided the controversial Minnesota congresswoman‘s Washington, DC, home early Monday morning, removing boxes from the residence. . . “This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation.” the statement concluded. The Post also saw agents carrying boxes out of the residence to government vehicles, one of which was white and marked with a pink X. A defiant Omar took to social media following the raid to announce “I will not be silenced” and called the action “an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement.” But Fahey said it’s not easy for feds to get a DC judge to sign off on a search warrant, especially since DC judges tend to be hostile to the current administration’s whims. . . “For a DC judge to sign off on something that’s 20 years old, you have to say you believe there is current evidence of the crime in her house,” he said. “A judge must have been very convinced.” While feds have kept a tight lip on what they’re expecting to find at the Omar residence, one source who requested anonymity given the politically charged nature of the investigation, suggested it might relate to longstanding, unverified claims that Omar misrepresented her age to get citizenship. Omar claims she received automatic US citizenship in 2000 at age 17, granted to minor-age children of naturalized parents — in this case her father, Nur Said Mohamed Elmi, who fled to the US in 1995 from war-torn Somalia. . . . . . The raid, which began hours before dawn, came just weeks after Border Czar Tom Homan revealed that Omar was under an ongoing “criminal” investigation and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated on a podcast “something’s going to happen” as investigators look into Omar’s broader family migration story. “Generally a search warrant is occurring towards the end of an investigation because you’re building up evidence that led to this search warrant,” said Fahey. “To get to the point of searching a home, you’ve developed a case for a fairly decent period of time.” Controversy has long surrounded Omar’s marriage to her second husband, Ahmed Elmi, a flamboyant, self-described “dirty dandy” rumored to be her brother and currently writing a thesis about “queerphobia in Kenya” at Bristol University in the UK. Multiple sources agreed that DHS isn’t looking into that marriage. For one, the statue of limitations for marriage fraud ran out five years after the couple divorced in 2017.Here are just a few of her highlights/lowlights courtesy of DiscoverTheNetworks.org
Born in Mogadishu, Somalia in 1982 * Daughter of a Communist father who entered the U.S. illegally * Joined the Muslim Students Association in college * Married her own brother to perpetrate immigration fraud and/or student loan fraud while married to another man * Was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in November 2016 * Was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018 * Member of the Congressional Black Caucus & the Congressional Progressive Caucus * Views America as a nation infested with white racism * Supports the “Defund-the-Police” movement * Detests Israel, Jews, and white males * Was involved in ballot-harvesting and ballot-tampering schemes in 2020 * Favors amnesty & a path-to-citizenship for illegal aliens * Was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee in 2023A real charmer this one, eh?! Read the full dossier and you'll be projectile vomiting for hours. So, she engaged in incest with her brother and married him. Beyond immigration fraud and gaining citizenship under utterly false pretenses, being perhaps the most preeminent member of the Minnesota Somali immigrant community and an elected national politician, she has got to be up to her eyeballs in the multi-billion dollar fraud schemes that looted the national and Minnesota state treasuries to enrich dozens of her fellow Somalis but no doubt flowed back to Islamic terrorists in Somalia and the rest of the horn of Africa if not elsewhere, to fuel the genocide against Christians, Jews and other non-Muslims there and elsewhere. If there really is any justice in this world, this hideous criminal skank and her entire brood will be removed from our midst. Of course, Minnesota and primarily the Twin Cities being the blue shitholes they are, her replacement will be an Omar replicant, if not in ethnicity and background, then in political beliefs. What the hell happened to my country?! All of that said, sadly, the odds of her facing any real consequences given the nature of our judicial system and its total capture by Leftists, are slim to none, likely none. Just as a refresher, this little recap is from last December but billions are still missing.
A staggering $9 billion may have been stolen in Minnesota’s sprawling social-services scam orchestrated mainly by members of its Somali community — a figure nearly equivalent to the entire economy of Somalia. The enormous new estimate is a nearly nine-fold increase from the swiped $1 billion previously suspected, according to federal prosecutors. It also accounts for roughly half of the $18 billion in total federal funds provided to the Minnesota-run services since 2018, the feds said — as Democratic Gov. Tim Walz continues to take heat for his handling of the debacle. By comparison to the $9 billion figure, Somalia’s entire GDP was under $12 billion last year, according to the World Bank. “Every day, we look under a rock and find a new $50 million fraud scheme.” The scheme saw dozens of people — the vast majority from Minnesota’s Somali community — setting up businesses and non-profits that claimed to provide services such as housing, food or healthcare assistance and then billing the federally funded state programs for the non-existent services. The fraud was so enormous that it went beyond the over-billing tactics typically seen in similar fraud cases and instead saw people setting up entire operations — sometimes coming from out of state — to get in on the goldrush of fraud opportunity, Thompson explained. Charges for six more people allegedly involved in the scheme were announced Thursday, bringing the total number of defendants up to 92. Among the latest defendants were two people who engaged in what Thompson called “fraud tourism” by allegedly travelling from Philadelphia to set up a bogus housing aid program after spotting an opportunity to make “easy money” off Minnesota’s programs. . . Much of the funds were sent overseas or else were spent on luxury cars and other lavish items. So far, 57 people have been convicted. The scheme prompted a White House crackdown on immigration in Minnesota, with President Trump calling Somalis “garbage” and Walz “retarded” in November for the scheme that unfolded largely under his watch.Nearly a year later and the President's assessment is still dead on the money. If only the grifters were dead and the money recovered. Oh well. Elsewhere and in a not entirely unrelated story, of course, securing our borders and protecting our citizens is completely unacceptable!
New York authorities have refused more than 16,000 federal immigration detainer requests involving illegal immigrants accused or convicted of crimes, including homicide, kidnapping and sexual offenses, according to newly released Department of Homeland Security data. The figures, reported Monday by the New York Post, show that municipalities across the Democrat-led state have declined to honor 16,070 Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers since President Donald Trump returned to office in January 2025. According to DHS, the individuals associated with those requests have accumulated 52,503 criminal charges or convictions, including 131 homicides, 132 kidnappings and 1,017 sexual offenses. The figures have renewed scrutiny of New York’s sanctuary policies, which restrict cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. ICE detainers request that local authorities temporarily hold individuals suspected of immigration violations so federal agents can take them into custody. Sanctuary jurisdictions frequently decline those requests unless specific legal conditions are met.While we're on the subject of racism:
The CROWN Act was one of the many ridiculous spinoffs of the BLM era. Around half of the states in the country have since passed a “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair” (CROWN Act) protecting black people from supposed discrimination over their hairstyles. But in another example of the law of unintended consequences, the CROWN Act may be about to get a real workout from a white woman who was fired for wearing a black hairstyle. In September, the Baltimore Rock Opera Society announced that it was hiring Kelly Carnes as its executive director, citing her 21 years of experience and her work with the Smithsonian and the Kennedy Center. In the publicity photo, Carnes appeared to have some sort of Cruella de Vil hairstyle in which one side of her hair is black and the other is white, possibly foreshadowing the racial hair drama soon to get her fired and become a national news story.This comes on the heels of a story we had last week:
The BBC is catching heat for an article claiming that the trend of leaving fingernails unpainted is a racist way of pushing “white supremacist standards of beauty.” The national broadcaster interviewed Paloma Buddemeier, a London nail salon owner, who shared that more and more customers are asking to skip the nail polish after their manicures, a fashion trend synonymous with “quiet luxury.” ...Bare nails, Rodulfo bafflingly claimed, “really promotes blankness and this kind of sameness and erasure of culture and identity that is so important to black and brown communities.”Before you say "Meh, this is England," they caught this disease from us but it ultimately will find its way back across the pond to us. On all that, there's plenty of other madness and meshugas in today's linkapalooza, and so as you wade through it, I bid you all to nevertheless have a good day.

CNN at 7am. President Trump's attacks on Muslim Democrats.
And on MSNow yesterday, some witch actually said President Trump was trying to start a race war with his social media posts about Omar.
On the plus side, 700,000 and 1,700,000 viewers which is pretty paltry considering the US population.

Also need to make sure the new insurance company is going to get the home insurance payment from the mortgage escrow, and make sure the mortgage company got the notification of the new insurance company, etc. All this is stuff that *should* not need me jumping in, but... gonna make sure.

“I’m furious,” Judge Reyes said on Monday morning.
“What has happened has cost the government all of its credibility,” Reyes added.
Judge Reyes screamed at the DOJ lawyers: “Ignorance is not an excuse!”
Look toots. First calm down. Then just pretend the trees were little children being strangled by their mother. Or Americans being cut down by illegals. It'll be alright. You can get through this.

It's hidden from them. By Congressional members in on the fraud. In Minnesota it's obvious. In California it's obvious. And so on.
One thing is certain, if the feds are not getting their cut, there's hell to pay. The IRS is an "outward" facing entity. It's prime focus is the public, not necessarily state entities like learing centers.
I think that's why the fraud goes on for so long unchecked... at least some of the feds are in on it and keep it on the "down low."
I don't think the Trump administration approves...

Something has already happened. There's no way HSI got a warrant signed by a DC judge that was appointed by Democrats to raid the home of a Democrat politician unless there was compelling evidence.
Just the fact they got the warrant and did the raid is something that wouldn't have happened even a few years ago.

Lets pretend that it is true that some rando on X claims seeing Ilhan driving away from her house 30 minutes before the raid.
Lets also pretend that there was a reason why it was "in great haste" because, as we're led to read between the lines and insert "hauling away incriminating documents before FBI can retrieve them"
Wouldn't having foreknowledge of a court warrant search and seizure of evidence, and then removing/destroying the evidence be in of itself a crime? And does the attorney share some of the guilt by tipping off the client?
Or is this typical DC Calvinball; and its considered professional courtesy to allow the Democrat time to remove/destroy evidence?

Oh no! They're trotting out the 'muh norms' offense - how dare Trump's team violate the DC "norms," the same ones that were *never* applied to Trump and his first administration. Recall how they publicly arrested Pete Navarro, despite his lawyer offering to have him come in and surrender himself earlier.
They abused many people, not just Trump, so their cries of indecency, violating their precious norms, fall flat.

It looks like it is probably BS is one reason, sadly. Personally I thought all along we were going to be subjected to pictures of Talfreako with a couple of teenage boys, so I was relieved at the breakdown story.
Posted by: Huck Follywood at October 13, 2026 08:52 AM (74AaH)
If Talarico was really on the verge, almost guaranteed, of flipping Texas--making the kind of history that gets the "once in a hundred years" moniker--then every Dem of any measure of favorable would be flocking to Texas to be seen with and campaign with him.
As the saying goes, "success has a thousand fathers."
He would be on the shortest of short lists, almost guaranteed to be the Dem Presidential nominee.
They'd be desperate to curry his favor.
Yet, there are precisely ZERO national Dems campaigning for him.
"But what if they don't want to spook his coalition of cross-over Rs who will break if national Dems get involved?"
Sure, the coalition that the polling says is holding firm even after Rs have spent millions painting him as a radical Dem?
The Rove Coalition is locked-in or they don't exist.

Philly next. 🙏
For example, there was no Africatown until the Democrats created it. (What began as racially insulting in the late 1990s - Little Africa - all of SW Philly, became a formalized city location.)
• Initial Funding (2021): Democratic City Councilmember (now Council President) Kenyatta Johnson kickstarted the official push by delivering a $125,000 city check to ACANA to map out and design the "Africatown" footprint.
• State Level Backing (2022): Democratic State Representative Jordan Harris & State Senator Anthony Williams secured a $9 million state grant from Pennsylvania's Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) to build a 37,000-square-foot community, retail, and clinical headquarters for a Community Hub.
• City Council Recognition (2022–2023): Democratic Councilmember Jamie Gauthier and the rest of the Philadelphia City Council passed a formal resolution legally recognizing Africatown as a designated economic development zone.
Posted by: L - No nic... at October 13, 2026 10:22 AM (NFX2v)
Yes, the funding push for the "Africatown" infrastructure project was fully greenlit at the state level under the Wolf-Fetterman administration (which approved the initial $9 million Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant), with Governor Josh Shapiro's administration continuing to oversee the distribution of state capital and economic development initiatives throughout these Philadelphia neighborhoods.
But there's also:
>$1,800,000 in American Rescue Plan funds presented by state legislators to combat poverty and support local businesses.
>$500,000 allocated from state casino tax revenues
> $2,000,000 via the federal Community Project Funding program to help construct the 37,000-square-foot community hub. And on and on.
(Note: The African "hub," a Community Center & Cultural Venue, will have daycare & youth training; full service restaurants and retail, social and legal services, and better streets to ...
Posted by: L - No nic... at October 13, 2026 10:22 AM (NFX2v)
Additionally, there are plans for area grocery store acquisition & affordable housing. (Socialism has arrived in the Philadelphia region!)
Liberia & other west African nations are but a plane ride away from Philly - an airport largely controlled by the city - & Liberia has long been supported by the U.S.
Surely there are many lovely residents therein, but as a whole it's the "Wild West" & ever expanding into Delaware County - at the invitation of our County Council. (Now there is a Delco clinic directly serving non-insured and under-insured residents, specifically focusing on the large African and Caribbean immigrant communities in Delaware County & Southwest Philadelphia.)
OTOH, several major figures - war lords - from the Liberian Civil Wars (1989–2003) have been found "living normal, quiet lives as business owners, restaurant workers, and neighbors in the local communities," including those outside of the city.
Additionally, Philly has seen an influx of newer West African asylum seekers since late 2023 (primarily from Mauritania and Guinea).
We all share the same U.S. Rep (D-PA), too.
Redistricting.

Something people need to be aware of.
We were notified by the town that we have not paid our property taxes. Our taxes are supposed to be paid by the mortgage company.
Called the mortgage company and it took an hour to speak to a human.
Anyways they swear they are paying the tax. Town says we are not paying our property taxes.
Just a heads up to ya'll to be aware.

Often these kinds of hacks happen because somebody forgot to check a box in the applications running the fridges and signage at the stores.
So, say "Disable Remote Management" has not been checked in the box and hackers take advantage of it.

Convenience/Inconvenience is the main reason.
It does help to be able to access systems when you aren't in the physical location, no doubt.
People don't always choose safety when it's inconvenient somehow.
If I'm walking into the store for five minutes I may not lock my car... and then regret it if I walk out and my car is gone.
They actually made it illegal in my county to leave your car running while you went into a store, etc.
Cars were being stolen because somebody left the engine running while they went into the convenience store to grab a Coke.
So, the county fixed that problem the only way they know how.

No. Just no. Local management panel, and the ability to completely firewall these things off from anything outside your facility.
But these freezers were probably installed in large chain stores, so head office would want the ability to monitor or adjust them under central control, because that's what head offices always want.
"Hey, do we have connection system set up that requires a proper SSH tunnel into our stores before we can connect with these devices?"

Orange cats? I've known three well, one a female. None were below average in brains, though the girl cat Mitzi came close. Big Rusty was bright and sociable; Arizona clever, stubborn, sociable only with me and women visitors. (Sort of like me, come to think of it.) In other words, they all had their quirks, just like all the cats I've known.

News when I was upstairs at 7am.
CBC - Alberta referendum. Cue 'Nothing will happen' guy. Not concerning at all, a request for 650,000 additional mail-in ballots. Sure, Yep.
CNN - Six Flags death. Roller coasters shut down.
MSNow - a panel of people talking about a sports book with a guy who hates the Dallas NFL team. The cheerleaders probably make him feel uncomfortable.
FoxNews - Saudi Arabia attacked for the third straight day. What'd they ever do to deserve that...
Oh right...

We just finished Season One of Hap & Leonard, the series based on Joe R. Lansdale's crime novels. If this first season was based on the first novel in the series, I need to find it. Talk about intense . . . and there are several points where you wonder if the heroes are going to make it out of the severely tight spot they are in. They have to, it's a TV series (however limited -- six eps a season), but you really wonder.
Anyway! How was your Dia de Cristobal Colon?

FTA:
A sump sample before engine start would have shown the difference, and that check stays with the pilot no matter who fueled the airplane.
That last part is so important. So true of so many things, but the consequences of passing off the responsibility in something like aviation are so very profound.
I hope the FOB or fueling company is paying for the "substantial damage to the right engine mount, fuselage, and empennage".

Warning volley for sure.
Our first pup, Shepherd/Malamute/Husky aka Gilda, potty trained herself. Never peed or pooped in the house from age 8wks. Dude showed up with her when we were engaged as I "needed protection." No, he needed a dog as his parents were no pet people (mother, anyway). He only had salmonella green turtles where I lived on a farm zoo.
Gilda would go to the front door and hit it with her paw and stare at you to let her out. Would sleep in the snow during the day as she loved it.
Had her neutered. When she got home I was petting her on the couch. I guess she was so relieved to be home her spincter opened and a tidy turd appeared on the couch. That was it for her entire life of genteel living.
She did try to kill a peeping Tom or thief one day protecting me.
Should have been trained as a K9. Very smart. Smiled on command. Understood soccer rules with her tennis balls (goal was her not used dog house). Our first baby.
People cross country skiing (which she also loved) thought she was a fancy Akita vs a free puppy.

********
The last time I was in Penn Station NYC was over a decade ago. Like a giant urinal stench.
I would not ride a NYC subway anymore if paid a lot of money or without a SEAL Team with me.
Our crazy eldest, on a Broadway musical tour in college, was nearly stabbed going back to NJ on a subway at 1am. He knew nothing good happens after midnight. He and his friend were alone on a car and a black guy was between cars, begging to get in, with the stabber right behind him. They got off when it stopped and ran.
The SaxMan has nearly put me in an early urn (I can't say grave anymore as we are being cremated and sharing a drawer we still have to pick out).

I have that problem. In my tool bag, in the bathroom and wherever I am there is a can of Dermoplast, First Aid. Not to be confused with Pain Relief. It is the last remaining brand of pressurized antiseptic. Shake it up and hold the nozzle close to the spot and spray until the antiseptic hits the bottom. The force of the spray cleans the wound as well as killing germs.
You can't wait, do it immediately. That's why the can is on hand.

Hey, did you hear the one about the goofy sailor half a millennium ago who thought the world was much smaller than everyone else knew it to be, and thought he could sail west from Europe and get to Asia? Couldn't find anyone dumb enough to finance the trip until he charmed some idiot queen or Spain or Portugal or somewhere like that. His crew almost mutinied and he lost one of his three ships. You'd think that guy would never be heard from again.

Fortunately the New Mexico cop that snagged me 1) was tailgating the semi he was behind so he didn't catch me until I hit 99 (slowing), and 2) didn't catch me earlier when I had the speedometer pegged in the Dodge Daytona. I really couldn't afford the $350 ticket, but at least the judge let me call in and plead, instead of demanding I show in court, then tossing me in the klink. (That was what he claimed he always did with "young hotheads". Ahem.)
BTW, the 1987 Dodge Daytona (without any of the fancy stuff) will go faster than 125. Because that's how high the speedometer went before running out of dial.

Some artists drew a female version of Draco Malfoy which is a rival of Harry Potter in the Harry Potter books. I didn't read them either...but Duck AI tells me they hate each other.
This character named "Malfoid" is drawn in a love/hate relationship with Harry as opposed to the just...hate relationship they had in the books I guess.
Besides being NERDS^2 what is the issue with this character? Well apparently on reddit and other places they've been pairing up Harry and Draco for years because redditors are lame and gay (but not female).
So now other nerds un-gaying their weird cartoon fantasy is hate speech? White supremacy? No...its literally Hitler.

I watched some real-ish AI sketches of this. It was pretty well done. It was a little disturbing to have Malfoy gender-swapped, but at least it wasn't ghey. Mostly, I was just impressed by how well done the AI animation was.
Of course, now my YooToob suggestions are filled with not only other episodes of that, but cartoonish-animation versions and similar gunk.

I'm not following the controversy, beyond what's being talked about here and a couple other blogs I follow. But I did read that JK Rowling supposedly based Malfoy's personality on a girl who bullied her in school. So a female Malfoy would probably have worked better in the books in the first place.
(Except that now the hero is male and the villain is female and that's Just Not Done Anymore.)
Some genderswapped characters even become semi-official; "Linkle"--genderswapped Link--is a character in the Hyrule Warriors spinoffs from the Legend Of Zelda games. Though officially she's Link's "sister." An identical-twin sister, wink-wink-nudge-nudge.

I do a lot of kneeling and moving around for work. A couple months ago (and only a couple months ago, I am wondering what I did) my right knee started screaming in pain. I looked at it and thought 'what the hell is your problem? I am still just a kid!'
It was during a period where I was doing a lot of Asian squats, so I think that was it. When I started to slack off on it, it hasn't happened again.

Small families, due to birth control.
Kids who grow up without other babies around never learn how to deal with babies. One or two kids are never around when diapers get poopy, or babies decide to cry all night. They have no idea what they are about to get into.
They have no sense of normal when it comes to babies. Then they can't cope with the idea that they are not the first on the list of people who need attention, when all the time it is the babies that need attention and not them.
All hell breaks loose, and they can't cope.
Birth control ruined society in more ways than one. Now it is positively murderous, and needs to fucking stop.

It was only when we became a bit independent that she began to loathe us. It was perhaps reasonable, considering how perfectly coddled she was as the youngest. How dare we challenge her?
I have long since forgiven her for her treatment of us, but it is clear that had she had younger siblings, she may have managed better.
She loved her natural grandkids, because they were not her responsibility. She loathed my son, because he was adopted and not "white." Said she couldn't "trust" him. She was surely a product of her time.
She missed so much joy, and for that I am truly sorry.

No, it isn't. It is sad for mom, but not really for me. I know who she was, and I am fine with that. She made her choices. I made different ones.
When I was in high school, she told my best friend's mom that I was the stupid one in the family. She really believed that. She told me I would never make it through college. She was wrong, but I paid for the whole endeavor on my own.
When I chose to become Catholic, I called her, and told her. Her response was, "Oh, how I have failed you!" She really thought it was a calamity. And yet, it was the joy of my life. She couldn't possibly be happy for me, because I didn't do exactly as she expected.
At some point, I realized that mom did not have my best interests at heart. I think I knew that all along.
My dad insisted that all of us kids had the best mom ever. He may have been correct. She was the best she could be, considering her limitations. I have always treasured that part of the equation, and I have long since forgiven the rest, but I cannot forget it, either. It made me who I am.
Not sad. I'm pretty cool. In fact, I'm fabulous.

Wasn't even interested much in babysitting when I was in HS, although I did care for a BF's niece and nephews one time. (Got BURNED there-- it was supposed to be a few hours & turned into a whole fk'ing weekend and then never got paid. 3 kids under 3 yrs, 3 days, no $. Never again!)
Still, even though rather anxious about it, I accepted the notion that I'd eventually have children of my own one day. Hubby (Ex now) and I made plans...
But it didn't happen. I was called "defective" for that.

Thanks. I think the independence movement is very strong in rural Alberta; but the cities are heavily occupied by parasites. I think even if the referendum fails, it will not be 80-20 against, maybe more like 60-40, which means the issue will not go away. And I suspect, regardless of the outcome, we will see an Alberta Conservative leadership race within a year.

There has ever been and remains an Alaska First party up here that advocates succeeding from the union, on the basis that the US is keeping way too damned much land away from Alaska and declaring it tied up. Other issues come up concerning this nonsense. They will never actually succeed, because we are way too dependent upon the military and other issues to make it work. But we have oil, and gas, and timber, and fish, and fuck you DC.

They adopted a boy from overseas because "no babies" here! And they were so certain of getting a girl, they were debating several girl names when The Boy became available to them, LOL!
He's a blessing. Smart and courteous. I had little to do with his upbringing (good for him, probably!) since I didn't even meet him until he was 15.

It's the culture. The lack of children, lack of parents, marriage rates dropping, etc, is a result of a culture that has rejected God. In the West, the State has replaced God, what we are seeing all around us are the results. It will get worse.

I’m not offended as much as I am surprised at that observation. The way I see it, we are all individuals, and sure, having siblings (or not) and growing up with babies (or not) can effect things but in the end it is on the individual.

New York has refused to honor 16,070 ICE detainers since President Donald Trump returned to office, releasing illegal aliens who have been accused or convicted of a combined 52,503 criminal charges, according to Department of Homeland Security data.
According to the information obtained by the New York Post, rejected detainers included people involved with 131 homicides, 132 kidnappings, 1,017 sexual offenses, 9,502 assaults, 1,776 robberies, 1,631 burglaries, 2,198 weapons infractions, 1,561 DUIs, and 4,324 drug-related counts.
ICE detainers are requests that local jails hold a suspected illegal immigrant for up to 48 hours so federal agents can take them into custody.

This is absolutely worth every penny, it just happens to be way too heavy to lug around to the rental when I have to do repairs.

Can you imagine the reduction in crime if New York simply honored detainers? And I don't mean "crime in Ohio..."--I mean crime in New York. These criminals are being released to literally commit more crime IN NEW YORK. Its amazing to me that any citizenry anywhere would put up with that level of combined arrogrance/incompetence.

John Buchan, aka Lord Tweedsmuir, was a neighbor to Lawrence back in England, and spoke well of him. One of the characters in his series of Richard Hannay novels was a tribute to him. I have an old copy of Buchan's memoirs, and it is a good read. As Lord Tweedsmuir, he became the last foreign-born Governor General of Canada, and was much respected here. He died in Canada in 1940, IIRC.

It has a 1x4 inch rounded hole in the top middle for a hand hold.

I have an old left behind that the monitor is mounted as this is typed. It's made from 3/4 x 12 plank with 1x4 bracing.
It has a 1x4 inch rounded hole in the top middle for a hand hold.

I just moved a portable bench today, in fact. Two foot by five foot scrap of plywood screwed to the ends of two empty oil drums with 4 1/4" Tek screws. Took 2 minutes to build it. Will hold several hundred pounds at a convenient working height. A total of seven pieces: three that any adult can easily carry by hand, and four that will fit in a pocket.

>>Carpenter's used to make a bench from scrap at every job site.
That's what I have now, it's two lightweight aluminum saw horses and a couple of pieces of wood, it's 5 pcs total and is light, it's just that it's 5 pieces to carry, I was eying this portable job that would have cut everything down to 1 piece, and it does, it also weighs more than George Washington.

TX-SEN: Chair of Texas Democratic Party says 'we're full steam ahead' after Talarico's flu recovery
Kendall Scudder, the chair of the Texas Democratic Party, said Sunday he is confident in Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico’s campaign in the wake of his illness.
“We’re full steam ahead. And, of course, you’re going to see people in the swamps of the internet making up conspiracy theories. That’s what they always do,” Scudder told NewsNation’s Chris Stirewalt on “The Hill Sunday.”
“But the fact of the matter is, people get sick sometimes when you’re diabetic,” he added, referencing Talarico’s Type 1 diabetes diagnosis. “It takes you a little while to get recovered.”
Talarico recently made his first public appearance in slightly less than two weeks after his campaign said he was recuperating from the flu. He was spotted walking around Austin City Limits, an annual music festival in the Texas city.

It isn’t our site to fix. But 90% of the time, Brave stops this from happening. Other people have had good luck with different pop up / ad blockers. I still feel bad recommending these as it cuts Ace’s revenue, but so does lost readership. Hopefully there is an offset by hitting the tip jar as you are able.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.
The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.
The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

“Huh… that’s why my hotel room was so expensive.”
I heard some people in the crowd speaking Italian, usually families, so I guess it’s a big deal in some circles.
It’s the first time I’ve seen a really big city parade, and it was cool. Also, I’m pretty sure Ace was there, riding a Vespa with his dog in a backpack, trailing an American flag. He was placed just before M.S.S. Addolorata del Romitello Borgetto.

When I was about 3yrs old I got two duckies for Easter. My grandmother raised them in a pen in her backyard, which was in the city and they used to have chickens and a cow along with everyone else.
I had two blonde pigtails and was rockin' heart-shaped sunglasses. Heaven knows where that photo is.
I still remember their duck smell, which is a bit odd. When they got big my father took them to the lake on the farm where they either got eaten by foxes or flew away. He told me they flew away. I no longer believe this.

1) Term limits for Congress. Two terms for Senate and 3 for House.
2) Age limit to prevent the McConnell's, Feinstein's, Pelousi's and,now, Grassley from being in office after age 65yrs. Commercial airline pilots have to retire then and so should these nitwits. Who, once elected, do very little but raise money til their next election as well as becoming wealthy on their salaries. Bastids.
3) The Founding Father's believed in term limits and I wish they had set this into law. Never dreaming of the dikheads we have now who are lifers. RINOS, who prevent recess allowing Trump to place individuals into federal office.
4) The Founding Father's also believed in being in DC part time and working their farms/plantations. As many recesses and vacations as these worthless government jackasses take, this would save $ for the country and maybe some scum bags wouldn't run for office.
There's only a handful of representatives I like at any given time. The State of the Union reveals all I can't stand who stay seated. I want to somehow deport all of Omar's Squad plus incontinent Pelousi and her hammer husband.

My brother seems to think they are far enough from the MS River they won't come (central MS). We have a creek that flows into the Pearl River, that goes to the MS River.
My Dad built a 10acre lake where three springs feed into a swampy area when I was a baby. Choctaw used to camp there as we find many arrowheads and spears. Once a bowl for corn at the sandstone creek. It's pretty but not the same in the past 20yrs.
They planted pines in place of open pastures and pine beetles have destroyed a lot. I wish they had planted hardwood, but too late now for my vote.

Then I read where they can get up to 40lbs and fall through the ceiling. Which flipped me out! An animal trapper guy found the hole in the porch (FL house) and kept the mother from nesting.
The thought of a python in the toilet and a racoon falling in my lap while I watched tv was enough to have me plan to move outta FL.
The animal trapper guy was a weird man. I thought I saw a black rat or something in the kitchen. Which neither he nor my dude could find after tearing apart the boy's wing. Asked me about scat and I said, "I beg your pardon?"
He told my man that basically the little lady was hallucinating while I was at work in the ED one day. They called me that "it got away." Right. It was the size of my hand and looked like a black toupee with little feet and no tail. I will go to my grave saying I saw this one day after grocery shopping.
It came out from under the couch in the family room/kitchen and scurried into the boys wing with me screeching and putting a towel under the door. Called dude at work hyperventilating. No one believed me.

No, I don't think that's true. They're calm and curious, mild-mannered, smart, herd animals. They even pick a spot in their field as a latrine, so they're typically very clean.
They're also protective, like donkeys. Some farmers keep llamas with their prey animals for protection.

One of my multiple choices explaining his "flu" and "urgent care" and back to flu. He should just admit to it vs the grocery store hissy fit or mental health place in Ohio.
Food poisoning is also a shigella bacteria. I don't want to think about the ghey type. Lalalalalala, can't hear you.
Many people with a stomach virus say they have the flu. Some also say flu with a cold.
Real flu or influenza is like a truck ran over you, sudden, painful and wanting to die... but mostly upper respiratory.
I went from normal on a kid pick up from preschool to wanting death a few hours later. With temp over 101, sore throat, ear ache, headache, fingernail and hair aching. The finale was 104 fever and a list on the fridge to not overdose our family with Tylenol and Advil (alternating). The 104 temp killed the virus and almost my entire delirious family.
I guess some diarrhea (dire rear in the case of gay diarrhea) could come from high temps of real flu as you don't digest food at 101 degrees.

@mrnobodyinsc
Wild theory but hear me out. The socialist and radical wing has pretty much taken over the Democrat Party. Traditional Democrats have lost a lot of their power because of it and don't really call the shots anymore. You've got people like Omar who represent a side of the party that a lot of the old guard never really signed up for. Look at the DC District Court itself: 11 of the 15 active judges were appointed by Democrats, and those judges pick the magistrate judges who sign off on warrants. All four of the ones who could've signed this one lean the same way. Sometimes you gotta cut off your own arm to save yourself. With the warrant signed off by one of those DC magistrate judges, could this be the start of Democrats finally trying to cut ties with the parts of the party that
middle America will never vote for?

I think that's the most rational explanation. Over-dosing at a sex party could never be admitted...so they'll reluctantly pivot to "mental health episode" at some point rather than having to explain what drugs were od-ed, and inhumane sex acts he was performing a the time of the overdose.

A federal judge on Monday halted the Trump Administration’s renovation project at the East Potomac Golf Course.
US District Judge Ana Reyes, a Biden appointee, excoriated Trump DOJ lawyers during a hearing on Monday morning.
Uruguayan-born Judge Reyes said Trump Admin lawyers had told her that the administration would alert her if they were taking “irreversible” actions at the DC golf course.
The Trump Administration removed more than 400 trees from the East Potomac Golf Course over the weekend, and Judge Reyes flipped out.

It’s why God created you.
Each person brings their own gifts into the world.
Together, we form one body that cannot be separated.
Seek that skill within yourself. Understand it, and give back to others.
There is nothing more satisfying than the feeling you get when you help your fellow man.
I know some of you believe you have no skill you can share with others.
That’s simply not true. Look deeper, find it, share it with others.
The feeling is like nothing else you’ve ever felt.
Give all glory to God, the father almighty.

I want to meet you for many reasons, Ben Had. What I'd love is for you to talk my dude into riding a horse. He never has. No one can talk him into it and now we're rather olde.
He was traumatized at a young age at Disneyland when his brother's burro pooped on his burro's head. That's all it took.
I ride, but not with a lot of grace. I stayed in the saddle on a mountain ride with a Navajo princess in college. Could barely walk for two days afterwards, but totally worth it to be above hang gliders with her horse leading.
I galloped wildy in Hyde Park in London (English saddle) with nannies pointing to me and the horse and laughing. That was really bad but hilarious at the same time. I figured I'd never see those people again...the thought I have often in hideous situations.
I rode on the farm, but none of our horses were fancy.
In the apocalypse I will be in charge of the horse, cow, and goat. He gets the chickens as I have a beak phobia...we had a mean rooster who chased us in childhood.

Some Kind of Weasel Open Thread
MassimoIt's real. It's not a photo of a commuting weasel, but a weasel attempting and failing to have lunch.
@Rainmaker1973 Photographer Martin Le-May was walking through a London park with his wife, hoping to show her a green woodpecker for the first time, when he snapped this incredible photo: a weasel riding a flying woodpecker.
As much as we'd love to say this weasel is embarking on an epic journey atop his very own luck dragon, what Le-May actually witnessed was a failed attempt at lunch. Small and adorable as they may be, weasels are voracious hunters and have been known to chomp down on a wide variety of prey items including moles, squirrels, hares, snakes and birds. "The woodpecker landed in front of us and I feared the worst," says Le-May. "I guess our presence, maybe 25 metres away, momentarily distracted the weasel. The woodpecker seized the opportunity and flew up and away into some bushes away to our left. Quickly the bird gathered its self-respect and flew up into the trees and away from our sight. The weasel just disappeared into the long grass, hungry."

Meet the Jaguarundi.
They are a small, slender wild cat native to the Americas, ranging from southern Texas to South America. Resembling an Otter or Weasel due to their long body, short legs, and small head, it is often called the "Otter Cat". Unlike most Cats, they are diurnal, hunting during the day for small prey. They are slightly larger than domestic Cats with plain, unspotted coats that come in two main color phases: dark brownish-grey or rusty red. 🎦 Credit: Tico’s Wild Studio.— PROTECT ALL WILDLIFE (@Protect_Wldlife) April 18, 2026

When I was bartending in LA, I met aa lot of actors and actresses, who had one moment of success.
Then nothing.
Like there was this one gal I dated who had been in the "Oh, whaat a feeling!" Toyota commercial a few years earlier. "I was the second girl from the left." then nothing.
She was still sure that old commercial would be her big break.
But, plenty of others too. Almost all a part non-speaking part in some TV show or commercial. Some were still clinging to hope based on that one tiny shot ten years later.
In any event, I imagine that poor guy thought being Walter White kid was a HUGE set toward stardom. Ten years later, when it wasn't, he probably finally lost all hope of his Hollywood dream.

I have a tough time feeling that badly for the native American tribesman. Life as a woman was brutally bad for them, but even the men lived a subsistence lifestyle in stone age technology and almost constantly at war. Other than the Pacific coast tribes who lived in comparative ease would have nice big parties where they ate captives.
Being introduced to medicine, clothing, buildings, farming, commerce, and technology was a huge upgrade. Well worth abandoning my "rich cultural heritage" of beating rocks together and starving all winter in a hide tent.

Nixon deciding to restore the treaty system was probably his second worst idea (EPA being the worst).
Instead of assimilating, retaining their heritage but finding opportunity, it convinced them to stay on the res, get drunk, and nurse grudges while indulging in super-corrupt petty politics.
it also created the fiction that where they happened to be in 1878 or whenever was their "ancestral lands," when most of them had only been there for a few decades. The colonists in New England and Virginia had longer and deeper ties to their lands.

Speaking of that Starlink launch, I heard something interesting the other night. All Starlink satellites have an optical star tracker system onboard for navigation purposes, to track its attitude and all that.
But they can also be used to see other satellites, and SpaceX is using that with the swarms of their satellites to better map out all the other satellites and junk in orbit. And apparently to better precision that Space Force's radar tracking...
Then it hit me, I imagine Elon has some "agreements" with the military and there may be some other things Starlinks are doing that we don't know about, and hopefully our enemies, Chicoms primarily, don't know about.

But, plenty of others too. Almost all a part non-speaking part in some TV show or commercial. Some were still clinging to hope based on that one tiny shot ten years later.
In the "Chernobyl" miniseries on HBO Max, there's a Soviet soldier standing guard at the door of the (kitchen?) room where the Soviet scientist who spilled the beans about how flawed their RBMK reactors were. You briefly see his face as he opens its door, then he disappears behind ductwork and only his lower torso is visible.
One can imagine the actor excitedly proclaiming to all and sundry, "Yeah! That's me, right there! Didja catch a glimpse of my face? I'm big, I tell you! BIG!"

They used dogs with drag sleds, but didn't have beasts of burden until the Spanish explorers brought donkeys and horses. I wonder how much advantage a donkey pulling a wheeled cart has over a donkey pulling a drag sled. Either way, it's embarrassing they used wheels as decorations, but didn't use them for carts.

I know this one. Apache's were skilled horsemen, but of a less martial nature. They used them for farming and transport. The fought, mostly, on foot. The Comanche on the other hand had the numbers, and made a significant effort to fight on horseback. The Apache were not nomadic...so when the the Comanche's destroyed their livelihood (agriculture and permanent villages), they moved on.

And, listening to some podcasts about that, I learned of something new being proposed to the next 6g iterations of cell towers. It's called ISAC, integrating sensing and communication.
First, they're increasing the ability to detect the precise location of cell phones by an individual tower. The tower can determine you precise position in space relative to it. This has the benefit of allowing it to focus the signal it's sending to phone, reducing interference to neighboring devices. Result is more bandwidth, less congestion.
ISAC will take that to the next level. Cell towers, coupled with AI to process the enormous of amount of data required, to act as a type of radar (lidar like really), to track the position of movements of any objects in range, not just cell phones that are transmitting.
The Panopticon is getting even more scary.

S Americans had the llama as a beast of burden for thousands of years. But I believe they piled up cargo on their backs and didn't use carts or travois. Even when they had an advantageous animal they could use, they never took that next step of having the animal pull a larger load than it could carry.

Well, they were explorers, not traders. They made good use of boats, like the fur traders before them. But a one-wheeled vehicle like a wheelbarrow can go on almost any footpath a human can easily negotiate. Expend a lot of labor for a few months, to build a road between Point A and Point B, so that you don't have to spend a lot of labor every day to hump goods on your back between them, but can haul them on a little handcart. But that would require the ability to plan for the future...

I've had three negligent discharges in my gun life. One at 21 yrs old where I was being incredibly stupid and was lucky that I didn't shoot myself in the femur.
The other two were with a Ruger Bearcat in the same range session. Sweet little SA revolver, but it had a true hair-trigger. Luckily, by that time I was about 35 and had gone a long ways towards using proper safety, so even though I fired the revolver without actually deciding to fire it, there was not real danger. That's the genius of the 4 rule safety system, the only way to hurt someone with an ND is to violate TWO rules.

I am unsure why but will blame being ugly and their frontal cortex never developing past that of a junior high nerd with zits and halitosis. Mocked by the entire class, causing him/her/ze to crap their pants as they ran to the wrong restroom. Then had to endure til changing schools or graduation being called Shite Pants.

Because they're not entirely sure how it works, I don't think they can actually set laws like that.
They train the AI to 'alignment' of the parameters set from the start and how well it operates completing tasks.
If it's 'misaligned', then you start reading stories where the AI escaped the lab during testing, or hacked into some website with other agents.

While I was still digesting the insanity of the UK printing in English the no-no rape rules vs in Farsi or with drawings... Welp.
The Cornell University handouts of sex with multiples topped that! "You no longer need to seek the Mrs degree! Be a ho or train conductor!"
When I went to (4) universites and 1 junior college there were no handouts about anything that I recall. Granted I don't recall a whole lot, but I'm positive there was no sex stuff during this time.
We did have a suite mate, from Ohio!? who used to gather an audience to discuss her blow jobs to a football player. This was as close to sex ed as I had, and we thought it was icky and maybe she was making it up.
I was barely 17yrs after skipping my junior year due to federal bussing bs (when I first started hating the feds as our school had been integrated since 7th grade).
This was a new concept for me along with lesbians (my mother had to tell me about them, thanks to the PE majors who were dorm monitors. And, apparently, lesbians.

On average Uber pays drivers about 50% of the fare a rider is charged.
However the driver uses his car. Uber or Waymo or any other driverless service has to pay for the car, you’re not getting a 50% discount. They’re just shifting costs from labor to assets that depreciate and need constant maintenance. And are VERY expensive to purchase.
You’ll be lucky to see a 5% discount t let alone a 50% discount vs a human operated car service.

I remember he once said, before the time of Trump, that the US was the most corrupt place in the world. I resented it then. Now? I think he might have a point.

Businessman’s ‘Stop Gaming, Ask Girls Out’ Advice Triggers Manosphere Meltdown
The advice has not been tried and found ineffective, it has been found difficult and not tried.
Its not bad advice... for 40 years ago. Today I am not so sure. Unstated in his advice of course is "be tall, hot, and wealthy..."

'We want to be in the press pool so we can decide what events get covered' does not seem like a good strategy to show why these specific networks should allowed to run the press pool. I would think the press pool would cover all White House events/stories, regardless of how big or small.

>>n exchange for obtaining a valuable license to operate a broadcast station using the public airwaves, each radio and television licensee is required by law to operate its station in the “public interest, convenience and necessity.”

He probably did well for himself. My dude's attitude as well. He didn't hesitate with me. I rarely dated anyone for months and months before I met him after moving West. His theory was that I intimidated college guys. Which might explain the huge pre-med chemistry and physics lectures when I was one of 3 girls vs 100 boys. THAT was a huge bummer time for me to have arrived, was ready for action, and no one asked me out.
My male apt mates arranged for a friend of theirs, who was also a grad psych major* to ask me out. We hiked, etc, in groups. He kissed me once during an university film fest. I got nothing from this encounter and he owned his own home, etc. I was not after anyone for what they owned or their sports cars.
I married a good-lookin' orderly who owned a $250 ancient car instead. You had to make me laugh, for starters.

Well before, it used to be the case that state minimum wages were lower for tippable jobs like waitress. Thats not true in a lot of states any more, and the minimum wage has gone absolutely insane lately.
And employers pay about twice what wages are with insurance and taxes on each employee. Combine that with food costs skyrocketing under Biden and restaurants who were working with like a 4% margin to being with are looking for ways to cut costs just to stay open.

My very weak understanding of copyright law is that having a copyright just give you the right to sue people who infringe on it. Nobody else is going to proactively police this for you. And if you aren't on every violation like a dog on a bone, your right to enforce the copyright gets weaker and weaker.
International cases are even worse. Good luck enforcing your Italian copyright in Brazil or China.

BREAKING: Abdul El-Sayed's campaign is responding to
@FoxNews
after unearthed social media posts from El Sayed's sister in 2012 appear to show her saying her family has been involved with and supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood. I asked the campaign if they deny the posts are in fact from his sister, and what comment they have given that El-Sayed just told Meet the Press over the weekend that nobody in his family has any ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. This is what they told me.
“Abdul is a dad and a doctor. He has spent his entire career working to keep Michiganders healthy and safe. Independent fact checkers have repeatedly debunked Mike’s lies, but their campaign continues to use bad faith attacks on Abdul's faith and family. Mike wants to distract from Trump’s agenda that is terrorizing Michigan families at the pump and at the grocery store."
- El-Sayed campaign spokesperson Roxie Richner.
On background, the campaign says that claims El Sayed and his family are part of the Muslim Brotherhood have been debunked as "racist" and "untrue".

At SportClips, they used to have hot stylists who would chat with you and rub their tits around your ears while you got a cut. Now, it's all tattooed purple-haired humorless fat butch lesbians who sullenly give you a sloppy cut.

In suburban Birmingham in 2021, there was a shop which had only attractive women stylists. (Plus they did not worry about the then-current face diaper stuff.) I got a nice haircut, left a good tip, and had a pleasant experience in that I did not have to look at any of the fat humorless creatures you mention.

Last time I went, several years ago, it was a cute little Filipina who also gave me the hot shampoo wash.
I wish she'd have tried the rub her titties on my ears trick with me.
She probably would have gotten a bigger tip.

I think al-Q's endgame isn't so much as to take over Mali but to make it something like Syria. A hardline Islamist government which lets al-Q do what they want.

Like so many other states in Africa, Mali is made up of two tribes that hate each other and that allowed the French to maintain control. The northern portion is Tuareg, and the goal is to create a Tuareg 'liberated zone' where they have freedom to maneuver. I wargamed that for many years. We had some interesting results.

When I was bartending in LA, I met aa lot of actors and actresses, who had one moment of success.
Then nothing.
Like there was this one gal I dated who had been in the "Oh, whaat a feeling!" Toyota commercial a few years earlier. "I was the second girl from the left." then nothing.
She was still sure that old commercial would be her big break.
But, plenty of others too. Almost all a part non-speaking part in some TV show or commercial. Some were still clinging to hope based on that one tiny shot ten years later.
In any event, I imagine that poor guy thought being Walter White kid was a HUGE set toward stardom. Ten years later, when it wasn't, he probably finally lost all hope of his Hollywood dream.

I watched Sleepless in Seattle a couple of nights ago (don't judge me). I was curious if Ross Malinger, the kid who plays Tom Hanks' son, was still in Hollywood. His bio says he's now a used car salesman. I suspect that's typical.

For the dozenth time that day, Sven was wondering if he should get a different job. He liked being a bartender, but a pirate bar -- and especially the Toughest Bar In The World (gov't name) -- was a bit much at times. Especially with regulars like Norm Nobeard, who fancied himself a comedian.
"So then Kermit -- not that one -- decided he wanted some more pondfront property, and hopped off to the bank for a loan..."
A drunk with a hood hand was gesticulating so wildly at his tablemates that he nearly put his own eye out.
"He gets to the front of the line, and explains to the teller -- he nametag says Ms. Whack -- how he's not that Kermit, but his dad Mick Jagger (who got so drunk he fucked a frog) was a friend and big admirer..."
Oh there's Blindside Pete, who actually did get one of his eyes put out by that hook, about to bump into someone he can't see and start another fight.
"...and he doesn't really have any property for collateral but this little white porcelain elephant, so she goes to the bank manager..."
Whew, Pete saw and dodged at the last minute -- spoke too soon, Pegleg Bob just tripped on a knothole and knocked Hottempered Phil's whole chair over.

Norm doesn't even turn around at the sound of fighting, just keeps on with his ridiculous story. "She knocks on the door and the bank manager says, 'Come in Patty,' and she explains the whole irregular situation. She just didn't know what to do! Well, she was new. So the bank manager turns over the little white elephant in his hands, hmm-ing and aha-ing."
As if the day couldn't get any weirder, a guy with a whole frickin' ship's wheel walks in and staggers toward the bar, cautiously avoiding the inebriated patrons, while Sven leisurely polishes a dirty glass with a dirty rag. The newcomer tries to belly up to the bar and can't even do that, finally settling in sideways.
"'What even is it, anyway?' Patty asks, gazing puzzled at the elephant. So the bank manager explains what's going on. 'It's a nick-nack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan! His old man's a Rolling Stone."
Sven laughs politely at Nobeard's joke, then asks the burning question on everyone's mind: "Hey, new guy. What in Odin's name is the ship's wheel even for?"
"Arrr," the pirate groans. "It's drivin' me nuts."

I watched one episode. The show was people arguing over who they should follow, then taking a walk in the forest. They pass through an open field with a tree in it.
Apparently the director though they needed something to happen so a group of zombies shows up and attacks. They weren't in the field. They weren't able to hide. They just showed up from behind the tree.
That is one of my most hated film and TV bits, where things happen or show up from off camera that the actors in the scene can clearly see coming and know about but react as if they do not because the viewers did not.

I always thought it was a zombie show aimed at an audience -- mostly women -- who didn't like zombie movies.
Case in point: my mom. She's not into horror, but she liked the show. I tried to watch it but was bored silly and gave up.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at October 12, 2026 03:50 PM (iFTx/)
It was decent up until season 7 or 8 with Neegan.
It was developing the problems which eventually consumed it well before then, though.
Trying to save money by splitting the group up and doing shows with 1 - 3 cast members, etc. Going through producers and writers.
And the soap opera aspect just got worse and worse with recycled plotlines with different characters.
I knew people who didn't like horror who liked it, too.
It started pretty great but it went on a long downhill ride after that.

It's crazy how shows used to have 26 episodes a season, even Star Trek and now.....maybe 10.
Even Disney Channel seasons are about 16 episodes.
I'd think spreading out the cost of existing sets over 20+ episodes would kind of help the economics. But they don't want to pay the people I guess.

The key to that entire book and the show was that it was Rick Grimes as the hero who would do anything to protect his family, until there was nobody left but his son Carl and the the baby Liltith.
The show practically killed itself first killing off Carl for no reason, then sending Rick into the wild blue yonder out of the show.
The only other reason that people watched the show was Daryl, and the kept him but there's only so much you can do with a character that's been on TV for over a decade, so they sent him to France.
It's as ruined as every other franchise Hollywood touches.

I suspect "binge watching" has a lot to do with the reduction in the number of episodes per season. Studios can crank out more variation in series per years. However, the gap between series is a problem because yeah, people will have forgotten what happened in the previous season. Especially if it was a badly-written series--no one goes back to rewatch it. (Looking at you, Wheel of Time and Rangz of Power...)

Are you my late brother aka the most insane and funny person I've ever known?
When I returned to work as a RN, after over 4yrs raising babies, I flew my brother to FL to watch them during my month long orientation. He was between jobs. Boys were 3yrs and 1.5yrs old.
Their Dad would come home to give them lunch and then naps.
My bro was not big on diapers but was ok with pee for the baby. If our boy dared to poop, my brother's solution was the garden hose first. Which, of course, the baby loved and wanted me to start doing this as well.
I had to laugh, however,as they did survive and enjoy their time with their crazy uncle.

Depends on the musician's -- or rather the record label, depending on the licensing rights -- agreement with ASCAP. Not all songs are licensed on ASCAP.
But if a song is available through ASCAP, the whining musician can suck a fat dick

"We paid for the live performance license. If they wanted a veto over who uses their songs, they shouldn't have put them up for anyone to use if the license is purchased. So fuck off."
As I recall, Trump went through this with a bunch of commie cocksucker musicians before, with them whining like a bunch of little bitches. His response was practically word for word a match for the above.

Remember, the NFA was always a tax. It defined itself (and was upheld) as a use of Congress' taxing power, so those who broke it were committed tax evasion.
When the tax was reduced to zero, the regulatory side became moot. It does not necessarily follow that everyone who avoided its requirements and got caught should now go free.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd
Problem being, they were never prosecuted as tax evasion. They were always prosecuted as gun crimes. Sentences received were way out of whack for a $200 tax crime.

Once #2 son and I were waiting by the river next to our church for his brother. There were some feral kittens near a woodpile. We went over quietly and he turned to me and said, "Mom, whatever you do, don't show your teeth." I guess from National Geographic about wild animals and I cracked up laughing (and probably showed my teeth).
Our #1 girlie is 5yrs. Very articulate since 15mo talking like an adult. A couple of weeks ago she and her older bro were arguing about her sharing a craft here. I asked her, in desperation, "What would Jesus think?" She calmly told me He would probably not care.
Over the rainy weekend she calls me about this same brother's new drone. Which our crazy son let him use inside. She said, "It's not going well and keeps crashing near me and I'm trying to eat lunch." I tell her to try to avoid this.
Her reputation preceeds her at school, as she's funny and simply beautiful. She was swishing her dress coming out of church and her father said, "Instead of her being like you I'm starting to think she's like Beth Dutton."
Our first granddaughter and we admit to having no understanding of girls.

The law hinged on Congress' taxing power. It was explicitly tax evasion, not "a gun crime." The penalties were set in the law.
I have no problem with a review being conducted of cases to determine whether people deserve clemency (which Trump can do), but the rules are the rules.
If someone cheats on their taxes and gets caught and properly punished, the subsequent repeal of that tax does not mean they were in some way vindicated.

Eh, maybe some of it. Some of it is probably "I want attention and nobody pays attention unless I wear really revealing stuff." Some of it is definitely "I didn't think about this outfit before I left the house".
There is, however, a kind of... armament escalation? happening with women's clothes.
You've got the girls who wear revealing clothes to get attention versus the girls who wear revealing clothes in order to have an excuse to beat men down, and the more press the beatdown girls get, which causes men to deliberately not pay attention, the more revealing the attention girls dress to get the same amount of attention they used to be able to get in less revealing clothing.
What you need to do is find a way to get these two groups to fight each other openly.
Other women already catch strays from this escalation.

I have no problem with a review being conducted of cases to determine whether people deserve clemency (which Trump can do), but the rules are the rules.
If someone cheats on their taxes and gets caught and properly punished, the subsequent repeal of that tax does not mean they were in some way vindicated.

Yes, actually, it does.
They committed what society now considers a non-crime, what society considers socially acceptable behavior, e.g., building a suppressor or rifle with a barrel that is 14.5" instead of the arbitrary 16", or possessing parts that could be assembled into the same without paying the fee/tax/liberty fine/license (call it what you want) that society now considers not constitutionally worthy to assess.
If society now considers that such behavior is not worthy of assessing criminal penalties, of what societal purpose does it serve to continue assessed criminal penalties for behavior that is socially acceptable?

*****
When our boys were 3 and 1yrs, a neurotic SiL and beloved brother to my dude came to FL for 10 long days. She is very snooty, being from New England. Our beach sand did not fit what she desired. I was really sorry about that, being in control of the Atlantic.
Her boys wer 4 and 2yrs. They caught a cold from our toddler and life was hell for that vacation. She took it upon herself to guard her boys from ours. Meanwhile the other three adults were drinking and having fun. She was known, before kids, to always have a migraine. We gave her one, for sure.
She came in angry that our toddler boy bit her toddler.Her boy was hogging the pedal tractor. As I was raised with feral cousins I laughed. Which was not what she wanted and she got mad. I went outside and told him to stop biting his cousins. Returned and told her, "he's not a biter" and continued to drink my gin and tonic.

Then if it drags on, just let it be known that there are some lingering symptoms, and put out the rumor or unverified report from an unnamed staffer that the campaign is waiting on him to stop pissing blood.

Did you know there is NO RECORD of Ilhan Omar's father becoming an American Citizen? The documents are all ‘missing.’ That brings into question whether Illhan herself was EVER legally a U.S. citizen.
The coverup goes deep.
Alpha News Reporter Liz Collin details the damning allegations against Omar's father:
Omar’s family entered the United States as refugees in 1995.
Her father reportedly became eligible to apply for citizenship in 2000, following the five-year residency requirement.
Federal records searches failed to locate her father’s naturalization documents.
Omar says she obtained citizenship at 17, but older Minnesota records listed a 1981 birth year, which would have made her 18 or 19 in 2000. Investigators are examining whether Omar legally qualified to obtain citizenship through her father while still a minor. Now we're finding out the records may not even exist.
If Omar's father was never a citizen and Ilhan lied about her age during the naturalization process Ilhan Omar committed immigration fraud under the law and must be deported.
Incredible work,
@lizcollin

I spend 80% of my life in leggings and tank tops, mostly cropped ones. I appreciate it when clients do the same, because it’s really hard for me to judge form if what they are wearing is baggy. I am not there to judge them on looks, they do not need to be perfect when they come to me. This is a journey that I am going on with them, and I am far from perfect myself. I do not allow shorts in my studio, leggings or capris only. First, they help with muscles warmth, second, they stop strength tubes from pinching. Men usually wear shorts over running tights, or long enough shorts they avoid the pinching.
I do not wear leggings and crop tops to church. But I have run into the grocery store to grab something quickly. I wouldn’t choose this outfit to run to the store as a stand alone errand, however. I wish people had a better grasp of appropriate vs. not, but here we are.

JUST IN: The mother of Elon Musk’s 13th child, Ashley St. Clair, says she is now a dues-paying member of the Democratic Socialists of America and gets emotional, saying she feels guilt about any role she played in pushing for the Trump administration to ban sex changes for minors.
It is evident in this interview that St. Clair displays sociopathic tendencies and would harm her own child to spite Elon.
She gives off major Lindsay Clancy vibes.

I see quite a few ladies wearing hijabs with otherwise very tight or revealing clothes. Kinda defeats the modesty angle, ya know?
I continue to believe that, at least for the younger generations, the hijab is more to avoid having to do your hair than anything else.

I was rockin' in my prime. Had a couple of halters I wore with jeans. Lived in bikinis without a thought.
I didn't like to pay attention to my looks at the time. I wanted to be known for my sense of humor with friends. And being smarter than my looks as a new RN and docs took me seriously.
No vanity at the time nor a lot of time spent on my figure (which was good as I walked everywhere, swam and biked), long hair, or make up. I got noticed when I walked into a room, but did not want to make a big deal about it and wear a tiara. Even in HS I'd roll my eyes about vanity and Who's Who voting.
That said, I dressed modestly due to my upbringing and got enough wolf whistles without my tatas hanging out. In other words, the fake hippie wore a bra when others were burning theirs in my prime.
"Wild Night" (great dancing song) was written by the druggie and insane Van Morrison. One lyric is true:
"All the girls walk by
Dressed up for each other"
Males don't notice what you are wearing but what you are enhancing. And a bit of mystery was an added feature for me, not a bug.

SpaceX has a deal to purchase nationwide low-band spectrum licenses for a planned terrestrial mobile network that would complement the space-based Starlink cellular service.
SpaceX will buy up to 14 megahertz of spectrum in the 800 MHz band from investment firm Grain Management, which bought the spectrum rights from T-Mobile earlier this year. T-Mobile had obtained the spectrum when it bought Sprint in 2020 and was required to sell the licenses under a merger condition imposed by the US government.
“This prime low-band spectrum addresses one of the key remaining technical gaps that will pave the way for Starlink Mobile to become a major mobile carrier in the US,” SpaceX said yesterday. SpaceX this week also received US approval to launch 15,000 satellites for an upgraded version of its mobile service that it says will be far more powerful than the current offering.
The 800 MHz spectrum licenses cover “approximately 100 percent of the US population,” the Federal Communications Commission said in a July 2026

'On Sept. 3, President Donald Trump granted the Navy veteran executive clemency, releasing him from prison and restoring his constitutional rights.'
_ATF convicted him on gun violations, - 20 yr in prison.
_The Supreme Court declined to review
_ATF reported seizing illegal firearms, including machine guns, and destructive devices
_Special agent Daniel Beasley described how he altered Adamiak’s non-firing replica STEN machine gun to fire live ammunition, ...Beasley had to install a firing mechanism and a real STEN barrel and then wrap part of the barrel in electrical tape to fire a single round, he stated in his report.
Calum Welch, one of Adamiak’s lawyers, said the ATF appeared to have investigated crimes that Adamiak could have committed.

I rescued Elvis when he was 6 months. He'd been in a couple different shelters and had signs of abuse. He was scared of his own shadow and till this day he can be skittish around new people but once he gets to know someone and understand they won't hurt him he's a big baby.
I work out of the house when I'm not on the road and he's my constant shadow. The scars never go away completely but they can fade.

I was depressed yesterday but am fine now. Ralphy needs to be lifted into the house from outside because he's missing steps. He bounces around and doesn't like that even though I carry him up and down steps in the house.
He can still get himself up, goes nuts for food and treats, occasionally chases the cat and I have him on pain pills. So this is just one more small change.
And since he's 40+ pounds, my thighs and butt are solid.

Talacreepo's softball interview yesterday made things worse, though.
He was clearly anxious and borderline paranoid, repetitively duckspeaking talking points "I'm better now" he said like 10x), and his version of what happened is inconsistent with what he said on that zoom call.
The little pervert is clearly lying and trying to cover up for something really bad and almost certainly campaign-ending.

My BFFs went with me the day I got Elvis. My buddy drove my car so I could sit in back with Elvis. He was terrified. Walked around the house like he was afraid of doing anything wrong.
I then put him back in the car and took him to the park to run around. I think he thought I was going to drop him off somewhere. He looked miserable. Didn't even seem to enjoy the park either.
But when we got back home he got out of the car, looked at the house then at me and the biggest smile broke out on his whole body. He knew he was home.

IF, BIG IF, he did have the incident in the grocery store with the black man, he will, indeed, lose his black voters if it comes out.
After all, as one Clancy woman fan said, saying the n word is far worse than murdering three children.
I was brought up in the Deepest of the South from childhood to never say that word. I still don't as my mother said it was only trashy ignorant people who said it and we were far from that. I was also half raised by black women.
Nor have I thought of murdering my children (one son asked, ha).
I did see red once when this same casanova son in college brought a girl to our home while we were out of town. She was tired from work and he lit candles around my big tub as evidence he stupidly left. I don't want to know what else went on.
He was very lucky we had the conversation on the phone and he was 2.5hrs away from me. That's the closest I came to losing it, and surprised I didn't stroke.

They still broke the law.
Michigan has an income tax. There is a movement to eliminate it. Let's say it happens.
Does it then follow that everyone who committed tax fraud while it was imposed should be released from prison?
Remember, the NFA was always a tax. It defined itself (and was upheld) as a use of Congress' taxing power, so those who broke it were committed tax evasion.
When the tax was reduced to zero, the regulatory side became moot. It does not necessarily follow that everyone who avoided its requirements and got caught should now go free.

The court held that the law is unenforceable as against SilencerCo. The admin will not appeal. The rationale for the ATF official announcement is that - I assume under the principles of equal protection and the recognition of the final judgment - they would easily be similarly enjoined as against all future plaintiffs similarly situated.
In addition, Congress set the taxes on the NFA items to zero, thereby removing the Constitutional authority for the enforcement of the NFA requirements.
Sure, I don't want to be the test case. But the situation is less dire than presented.

We are giving her canned tuna in water. This started because of a screwup with the prescription food, and we ran out before the store could get it to us. She always loved tuna and we've used it as a treat.
She actually became much healthier, more energetic, sleeker fur, and she is still doing well, but her digestion is just not that great and we figure that's what will do her in. She's 15, so she realistically isn't going to go on much longer. I'm thinking 1-2 years at most.

A Golden? They smile a lot and I love the three we've had.
Granted, two had the love of water bred out of them.
However, our Shelby was the sweetest dog on earth. He was basically a big stuffed and gorgeous doggie who loved to eat. He ate a snack from the vet the minute before he went to heaven from illness. Which nearly killed us both with grief. So much for our waiting for him to stop eating as a sign he was dying...
I don't cry or grieve like a normal person. It is very rare for me to cry as if I do grieve for someone I love it is in private. I cried daily (mostly in private) for Shelby for three weeks. Told well meaning people at work to please not talk about him as I don't do sympathy well.

STATEMENT FROM MINNESOTA REPUBLICAN PARTY CHAIR ALEX PLECHASH
"Today, federal agents executed a judicially authorized search warrant at Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's home as part of an ongoing investigation.
Rather than issue our own statement, we'll defer to Rep. Omar. She said it best back in 2023, when the subject of a criminal investigation was someone else:
'Our democracy rests on the rule of law. When someone—no matter how powerful they are—is suspected of a criminal act, our justice system investigates, charges, and convicts them in accordance with due process.'
'Now it is up to all of us, as citizens and elected leaders, to support accountability and to follow the facts where they lead.'
'No one is above the law.'
We couldn't agree more, Congresswoman. We're sure you still feel the same way now that it's your front door. Minnesotans will be watching closely, and so will we."

If new evidence becomes available for past state income tax evasion AFTER the law is struck, would you support a new prosecution? Why?

Out of Virginia, his pads were burned off his paws, he had teeth issues so he could barely eat (he gulped when he ate due to those issues + being starved), and unfortunately, a disease that killed him just months after we got him. He didn't know how to play (talk about sad). The separation anxiety was off-the-charts.
He was the sweetest dog to ever live. He was a lover, not a fighter.
After that experience, Hubby has not wanted another dog (he was our third).

I had a cat that developed that issue - a weakness in the hips that she had to learn to walk again at 16 or 17.

Yes, actually, it does.
They committed what society now considers a non-crime, what society considers socially acceptable behavior, building a suppressor or rifle with a barrel that is 14.5" instead of the arbitrary 16", without paying the fee/tax/liberty fine/license (call it what you want) that society now considers not constitutionally worthy to assess.

I put down lard for the older cats because hairballs are harder to dislodge the older a cat is. I also supplement the morning wet food with Taurine and Niacin, both of which are essential for cats, and harder to source as they get older.
The two old lady cats are 17 years old, and are still doing well.

I saw an episode of Pit Bulls & Parolees which featured an older lady who adopted a bully who probably only had a year or two left.
She said that she and her new dog were going to have a ball. The folks at the shelter were thrilled, and so was the dog. The older dogs at adoption facilities typically languish even if they are still quite healthy; most folks want a young dog.
Thought this was worth passing on...
All the best

DHS Agents Execute a Search Warrant on Ilhan "Omar's" DC Home, Seeking Her Old Immigration Paperwork
The home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, was raided early Monday morning by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), a source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital. Multiple federal agents with HSI jackets were seen outside Omar's Washington, D.C. home in the early hours of Monday. Two sources close to the investigation say the search stems from a criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman's immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a child. The raid of the Somali-born congresswoman's home started around 6 a.m. with HSI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) leading the operation. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is also involved in the investigation. "Today in the Washington, D.C., area, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation," a DOJ spokesperson told Fox News Digital. The DOJ later added that the investigation was "criminal" in nature. ... HSI is the principal investigative arm of DHS. Its scope includes investigating cross-border crime and global threats, including human trafficking and child sexual exploitation, drug smuggling and cybercrime. HSI plays a major front-line role in America's counterterrorism operations. ... During her tenure in Congress, she has been plagued by allegations that she married her brother in 2009 in an alleged immigration fraud scheme. A federal prosecutor recently told Fox News Digital that the statute of limitations could hinder an investigation into that matter.

Both CNN and MSNow covered this story this morning. Kind of downplayed it.

We'll wait for the talking heads to sober up and then we'll get the 'Trump is going after his political enemies!!!' lines again, I'm sure.
Oh, one guy on CNN commented how the people going into her place was very intrusive. Not like going through someone's panty drawer......

Unless, they then can also then prove she married her brother in an attempt to defraud, again. And, then further, maybe can also prove she claimed to be a part of a family she was in fact unrelated to when she filled out her naturalization papers.
Maybe it all adds up somehow to a pattern of behavior and she can be denaturalized.

Criminals are very stupid.
Paper-crime criminals too often do keep proof of their crimes.
And they're not going to trust anyone else with them, so they keep them close.
Like, I'll bet they kept their original documents from Somalia--which prove their family and birth dates--"just in case we ever have to go back."

All the Dems in Congress and in state offices will start agitating to prevent her being investigated, just in time for the election season in which immigration fraud is a really big issue.
Nothing may happen, but they can either acquiesce to the criminal investigation and look dirty, or fight it and look complicit.

Bessent has taken to just plain mockery of Lieawatha. It's hilarious.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent decided to answer dozens of letters from the screaming harpy known as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), of the tribe of lefty lunatics, and expose her as a laughingstock at the same time.
Bessent genially informed Warren that her October 7 missive "adds to the mounting body of evidence of your complete paucity of knowledge about financial markets." He noted sadly that rather "than take my suggestion of studying introductory economics, you have continued your letter-writing crusade and participation in tabloid fodder about the Treasury Department."
The best part of this particular rant against Warren, as Catherine goes on to note, was when he signed off by writing, "Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day in advance to you and your family."

Posted by: Archimedes at October 12, 2026 12:29 PM (Riz8t)

Yes and no. The warrant is probably more broadly worded.
Plus, there's the "plain view" doctrine that allows anything in "plain view" to be seized and used. "Yea, we were looking for her original birth certificate, but lo and behold look what was just sitting there in plain view!"

If "vineyard" laundering scheme proceeds were going to terrorist orgs (just a (likely) thought), HSI might very well be involved. The immigration angle may just be faulty inference to latch onto anti-ICE sentiment. It is 'lection season, ya know.

Peggy Flanagan, the unctuous and despicable Lt. Gov under Walz is up to her smart girl glasses in the unending corruption in Minnesota with the lightbulb heads and a joke of a Senate candidate. This is a torpedo under the waterline.

(Pate for top of head... is not goose liver, altho it may resemble Somilian's head shape if molded. I think due to inbreeding).

When I read they were looking for her paperwork, my first question was, "Why would they need her paperwork?" Whatever she submitted to the government is not in her possession and it's what prosecutors would base any criminal charges on." I'm not a lawyer though. It seems obvious to me they're looking for more than that.
Or possibly they're looking for the same paperwork with different information on it to compare and contrast with the submitted paperwork? Maybe they could use earlier copies with truthful information on it to prove the submitted paperwork was knowingly fraudulently attested to?

The Somaliland government has been actively trying to entice Trump into trade deals and for help in getting formal international recognition for the country.
While Somaliland split off from Somalia a few decades ago, and has functioned independently since, it's not formally recognized as a sovereign nation.
Why not? Mostly because it's far more democratic, economically successful, and more "western" than the radioactive dumpster fire known as Somalia. By Muslim standards, Somaliland is a western democracy.

Several people had the audio of a reporter calling a mental health place in Ohio, asking if Telarico was there. She said he was discharged that day.
A private plane was tracked going to the airport in Hamilton, OH. Stayed til the next morning and landed a bit before Howdy Doody showed up at a festival in TX.
I much prefer the story of him losing his mind and calling a black man the n word at a grocery store, but whatever.

Of course he didn’t receive treatment FROM Linder Center of HOPE, as that is just the facility where people would receive treatment.

It may or may not be a major HIPPA violation, so I'd be denying as well if I was head of the mental health place. In the ED of the med center, names were only seen by staff, for example. Traumas were given fake names on admission.
I found this: Verified Callers / Consent: Staff may share specific details or confirm a patient's presence/status if the caller’s identity is properly verified and the patient has authorized it (or if permitted via emergency/professional judgment rules).

The subpoenas to the offices of Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and others were served by the DOJ on January 20, 2026, as part of a probe into alleged interference with ICE operations. A federal judge quashed them in June 2026, ruling they were an abuse of process. The post recirculates old footage as "breaking."

WaPo reports that the federal criminal fraud investigation investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is called “World War 11”, an apparent reference to a recent comment Omar made when she said the Alien Enemies Act hadn’t been used since “World War Eleven”.

Navy flew me into Bahrain to meet up with my Destroyer in 1989. Just so happened an old friend of mine was running the TAD Barracks, and they were suddenly 'full'.
So me and 4 others suddenly ended up at the Ambassador Hotel... 3 Bars, a YUGE Dance club, room service that included bottles of top shelf alcohol to your room... and one of the only legal places you could drink in Bahrain because it was a 'Western Hotel'.
Yeah, was chock full of locals... and Western Call girls. It was the only time in my marriage I was actually seriously challenged to be faithful.

It's just more judicial lawfare.
If it makes you feel better, the DOJ lodged an ethics complaint against the judge a few days ago.
>>U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz on Friday publicly recounted the challenges of administering justice during Operation Metro Surge, just two days after the Justice Department filed an ethics complaint against him and other judges for criticizing the federal government's actions during the immigration crackdown.

The exact time it took to remove Liberian civil war commanders (often referred to as warlords) living in Pennsylvania varied, but generally took between 15 to 25 years after their wartime atrocities occurred, and roughly 15 to 20 years after they first entered the United States.
Because U.S. courts lacked jurisdiction to try them directly for war crimes committed abroad, federal prosecutors instead charged them with immigration fraud and perjury for lying on their asylum and visa applications.

No, this about seeing if someone went into those files and altered them in any fashion. And, they wouldn't have been awarded a warrant unless they knew (and had documentation) that it occurred. This raid was more about looking for extra icing. They already have the cake.

Trump was elected on a platform of "lock her up". Hillary had admitted to committing a felony, arresting and jailing her would be straight forward.
Every Dem and half of the GOPe said that only in a banana republic is the opposition leader arrested yes even if she technically broke the law. So Trump relented and let it go.
Then he had 2020 election stolen from him and both federal and state level Dems try to imprison him for non-crimes.
The norms were broken years ago now Dems. And the only way they come back is if big named Dems spend years in jail to teach the rest of you lot a lesson about norms and following the law...

It has certainly been a long time since she committed the fraud to enter. It might even be too long from her use of them to get citizenship. But is too long from her use of them to prove eligibility to run for Congress, that, technically speaking, I'd argue she does each and every time she runs, even if she doesn't present the fraudulent documents.

THE MORNING RANT: From Peter Clack - “A society dismantled simultaneously by energy delusion and the abandonment of its sovereign borders”
Amidst all the daily political battles, as well as the internecine arguments among the right, it’s sometimes important to remember just who the left is, what their agenda is, what they have wrought, and how important it is to politically defeat the left.
Peter Clack wrote an excellent short essay on Twitter a few days ago, cutting right to the core of the need to save western civilization. He focuses on the hollowing out of industry, the green energy delusion, and the erasure of national sovereignty. The full essay is below, but his concluding sentence is worth singling out: ”A society that abandons its industrial base and surrenders its borders eventually surrenders its future.” The one thing I’d add is that the abandonment of Christianity in the West was supposed to bring about a secular enlightenment. Instead, a new apocalyptic religion rose to fill the void – one with an angry climate God imposing bizarre woke sacraments, including the sterilization and mutilation of children. Islam also raced across open borders to provide a replacement religion. Here is Mr. Clack’s excellent essay:The economic hollow-out of the West was only stage one of globalism’s experiment. What is unfolding now is the broader collapse of Western institutional confidence—a society dismantled simultaneously by energy delusion and the abandonment of its sovereign borders. The push for a wind and solar transition was sold as a technological leap forward. In reality, it ignores the fundamental laws of energy density. Weather-dependent generation can produce electricity for household lighting, but it cannot deliver the continuous, ultra-high thermal energy required for heavy industry, blast furnace steel production, chemical manufacturing, ocean freight or commercial aviation. By handicapping its own domestic energy grid with high-cost, intermittent generation, the West did not eliminate fossil fuels—it simply outsourced its industrial emissions and heavy manufacturing to Asia. The irony is stark: to build a green grid, the West must import energy-intensive components manufactured overseas using coal-fired power, creating a new, highly destructive industrial footprint while crippling domestic energy security. Compounding this industrial retreat is a complete paralysis regarding border integrity and social cohesion. Western political elites, transfixed by the doctrines of multiculturalism, have allowed uncontrolled and unvetted migrant flows to overwhelm public infrastructure, dilute civic identity and erode the rule of law. They are becoming dangerous crime states. What should be a basic duty of the nation-state—protecting its sovereign borders—has been abandoned in favor of fawning globalist posturing. When you dismantle domestic industry, enforce artificially expensive energy, and dissolve national borders, you do not create a globalist utopia. You destroy real capital. Without capital and productive sovereign industry, the fundamental pillars of Western life will (and are) falling apart. The reward for hard work disappears, upward mobility stalls, and the purpose of a long-term career is replaced by managing decline. A society that abandons its industrial base and surrenders its borders eventually surrenders its future.In my introductory paragraphs up top, I mentioned “internecine arguments” on the right. It’s important to remember that a great many faux-conservatives are fully on board with the agenda that Mr. Clack decries. The GOPe and the legacy conservative media embraced and still defend the hollowing out of American industry. They rejoice when American plants close and Americans lose their jobs. They have fought for open borders and for the importation of slave-adjacent labor. They have played footsie with the climate hoax by accepting the false pretext of global warming, and by engaging in “venture communism” via the redistribution of taxpayer money to “green” startups. The battle against these anti-American, globalist “conservatives” is not internecine. They are on the other team.
@PeterDClack @ClimateRealists This is a brilliant synopsis of the destruction wrought by “renewable”energy, open borders, and globalism/outsourcing at the expense of sovereignty. The one thing I’d add is that wokeness & climate apocalysm aided the destruction when green/woke filled the void of Christianity.

Many of Talarico’s supporters are feeling betrayed. A Mediate piece titled “Trans Advocates Slam James Talarico for Flip-Flopping on Trans Views” quoted several angry Texas voters who are reconsidering their support for Talarico. While there is no chance that they will vote for Paxton, they might withhold their vote from Talarico. Emily Oswin-Welborn was quoted as saying “I feel like I can’t in good conscience be responsible for putting a Democrat in office that is willing to compromise on trans rights.” That is the risk of attempting the “Trust me, I’m lying” tactic with uncompromising true believers.This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.
My latest piece at The American Spectator discusses the "Trust Me, I'm Lying" strategy that Texas senate candidate James Talarico recently attempted. Publicly denying his true radical beliefs is a fraught strategy with his uncompromising left-wing base. https://t.co/A2dZb5XPLE

Strangely, nobody on the left has mentioned that Isiaiaiaiaiihh was the first Atlantic hurricane to hit the US this year, and it was a bit of a squib. Usually, any weather phenomenon at all is attributed to climate change. I think they know the grift has run its course, and continuing to harp on it just makes them look stupid.

Vast resources, yes. But it takes investment, effort, technology, and sane governmental regs to exploit natural resources. It's often easier -- and more profitable for the grafting government -- to outsource most if not all of that.
What is the continent with probably the most natural resources on the planet? Arguably Africa. What is the continent that's easily the most backward, dangerous, corrupt, and barbaric? Also Africa.
I think Canada is selling itself and its resources out to China. We can laugh but the USA almost did so too, and probably would have if not for Trump.

The Delaware Riverkeeper Network operates as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Pro-development critics point out that its operations are heavily sustained by large private foundations and elite philanthropic funds—such as the William Penn Foundation ($500,000 grant) and the Schmidt Family Foundation. Critics argue this allows wealthy donors to dictate local energy policies from a distance without experiencing the job losses they cause.
Opponents of these groups argue that their "real job" is filing endless lawsuits and using open-records laws to block economic progress. The Riverkeeper Network routinely uses litigation to stall major infrastructure—such as suing the Delaware River Basin Commission over the Gibbstown LNG port project or appealing state pipeline permits. Labor advocates view these legal tactics as deliberate strategies to delay projects until developers run out of money and walk away, killing potential union jobs.

OTOH, the eco nuts shove a huge port operations into roughly the same areas they're fighting LNG projects; creating safety & health hazards for the local communities, providing jobs for outside the area, and creating drug pipelines.

I was up in the Berrydale community near Jay, FL at a buddy's house when the storm came through. It's a very rural area with building codes that really don't measure up to 110 mph winds.
We went out Saturday morning to assess the damage to his property, and then took a drive over to Hwy. 87.
Complete carnage.
Buddy owns a skid steer. It was sitting on its trailer. So we hooked it up to his truck, grabbed a couple of chainsaws and gas, an headed over to the highway and went to work.
Soon after, we came upon a pontoon boat that had been blown off its trailer and was laying upside down blocking the northbound lane of Hwy. 87.

But we continue to kick ass in winning the STEM Nobel Prizes and patents. Admittedly hard circle to square. How long can that continue.
It's important to break the population into blocks. A large block consists of the truly ignorant, and they're the ones dragging the average down.
I suspect we still have lots of very smart people, recently augmented by Asians, who are fighting the tide of mediocrity.
Thus, both things (poor scores, high science productivity) can be true simultaneously.

Buddy owns a skid steer. It was sitting on its trailer. So we hooked it up to his truck, grabbed a couple of chainsaws and gas, an headed over to the highway and went to work.
Soon after, we came upon a pontoon boat that had been blown off its trailer and was laying upside down blocking the northbound lane of Hwy. 87.

Batteries are making great strides, so what was true 100 years ago is not true now. However, they still have many problems, some what I consider fatal, for them to be a widely used technology, especially in cars.
I have a crazy idea. Howzabout we DON'T shift our entire economy over to an inadequate, unsuitable alternative. Howzabout we keep working on the alternative, and when it CAN meet the need, then we make a switchover if it makes economic and technological sense. It's madness, but it just might work.

It's the old Mao Method applied nationwide.
In China, when Mao took over , they'd tell young grade school children to close their eyes and pray to God for a piece of candy.
The children prayed and opened their eyes and...no candy.
Then they told the kids to close their eyes and pray to Chairman Mao for a piece of candy. While the kids were praying to Mao, the teachers would distribute candy to all the children.
And when the children opened their eyes, they had a piece of candy. Mao came thru and God didn't.
Pretty much the same thing with welfare, etc. LBJ knew what he was doing with his Great Society, when he said in private the n-words would vote for Democrats for the next hundred years or so.

China’s debt has shot up so much in recent years that interest payments on all its borrowing are commanding a bigger share of public spending.
Debt-servicing payments will account for 19.2% of the central government’s general public budget this year, up from 12% in 2014, according to new Conference Board estimates cited by the Financial Times.
That tracks with a separate report earlier this year from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which also found that 19% of Beijing’s spending is earmarked for interest on debt. That’s more than the 14% of the U.S. federal budget that goes to interest costs.

There was a time in the not so distant past that I thought what you describe was a fever dream, but it's become quite clear that that's exactly what has been happening. I also think the people are now awake and paying attention. Things are going to change, and probably rapidly.

Oh there has for a long time been people who foolishly think they, and their like minded buddies can control the world in their iron fist. But the world is a large and complicated place and can't be captured so easily. Plans like this will fail, that is sure. How much damage is done trying to cling to it is the only real question.

In theory there might be a moral system built on those ideas that could be a foundation for a civilization. However, to this point the success rate has been zero, including modern libertarianism and its ilk.

Scottish charity warns migrants that underage British girls might "deceive" them
. . . .
‘Because we've had young men fall for these things that could be preventable.' Fall for these things. She then goes on to advise the men to ask young people their age and even request identification, before coming in with the extraordinary warning: ‘Don't be deceived, we have young persons growing bigger than their age.' Twelve and 14-year-olds, she explains, can be taller than she is.

In group pictures (haven't taken any since my wife's cousin's wedding more than two years ago), I hold my face in a slight smile and just don't move...so my pose looks the same in all the pictures, for better or worse. Never smile using my teeth, as that looks...fake and creepy...for some reason.

While most of the other models were still predicting landfall in the Mobile Bay-to-Perdido Key area 24 hours out, Deep Mind accurately showed the Ft. Walton Beach/Destin area as the hurricane's landing spot 3 DAYS PRIOR.
Deep Mind also nailed the intensity while other models were showing breakup prior to landfall due to windshear.
I wish I'd have paid attention to Deep Mind, as I wound up evacuating into the belly of the beast north of Milton.

BREAKING: Federal agents raid Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington, D.C., home early Monday morning as part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.
Homeland Security Investigations agents arrived around 6 a.m., with both DHS and the Justice Department involved in the operation.
The DOJ confirms agents executed a judicially authorized search warrant, but officials have not publicly disclosed the full scope of the investigation.

Bronzino (Agnolo di Cosimo di Mariano)
The poser looks like a young James Spader.
Location: The Met Fifth Avenue (Gallery 612), H. O. Havemeyer Collection
Sitter: Unidentified, though believed to be part of Bronzino's close circle of Florentine literary friends.
"The identity of this arrogant young man is unknown, but he must have belonged to Bronzino’s close circle of literary friends in Florence and probably holds a book of poetry. The artist was himself a poet, delighting as much in the beauty of language as he did in the witty and fanciful details of his paintings. Here, Bronzino employs the ancient Roman tradition of fantastical decorations known as grotesques in his rendering of heads on the table and chair, and in the almost hidden, mask-like face suggested in the folds of the youth’s breeches. While these monstrous faces contrast with the youth’s handsome looks, they may also imply that his carefully crafted appearance is similarly a kind of mask."
More interesting than I originally thought, but would pass hanging.
Thanks.

The Morning Report — 10/12 /26
President Donald Trump issued a Columbus Day message, stating that the “days of plunder” of radical left Democrats, socialists, and communists ripping down statues of Christopher Columbus “are over.” . . . “HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY TO ALL, in particular our great Italian American Community which was forced to suffer as the Radical Left Dumocrats, Socialists, and Communists rampaged through our cities and towns ripping down almost all of the beautiful statutes of Christopher Columbus,” Trump said. “Well, those days of plunder are over, and the statues are back, more magnificent than ever.”Bravo Mr. President, but statues are one thing, and merely a harbinger of more heinous things to come. And they're already here!
“Anti-ICE ‘rapid response’ networks mobilized to disrupt operations. Some of them brought weapons and used violence against officers, prompting the deployment of crowd control munitions, including tear gas and pepper balls, according to bystander video,” she wrote. One video showed a person dressed in dark clothing smack a black SUV’s side mirror with a baseball bat. “Get the fuck out of Salem!” another person was heard yelling at the officers. Moments later, one of the black SUVs went nose-to-nose with a silver vehicle, pushing it out of the way: Daviscourt reported individuals that appeared to belong to the group known as Antifa were also at the scene. President Donald Trump in 2025 signed an order designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, AFP reported at the time.The order said, “Because of the aforementioned pattern of political violence designed to suppress lawful political activity and obstruct the rule of law, I hereby designate Antifa as a ‘domestic terrorist organization.'”Well it's way past time to dismantle and destroy what is essentially a violent insurrectionist movement within our own borders that will stop at nothing short of overthrowing our government and dismantling our society and transforming it into socialist tyranny.
On that note a few thousand miles to the east I give you this.
A city democratic socialist congressional candidate has claimed it “doesn’t even matter” that the illegal migrant wounded by ICE agents in The Bronx has a violent criminal history — and accused the NYPD of villainizing him. Democratic Socialists of American darling Darializa Avila Chevalier told lefty streamer Hasan Piker that accused gangbanger Oscar Belgal was just being a good dad when he tried to flee the feds with his 5-year-old son in the car Thursday — and was somehow a victim of his own rap sheet being revealed. “I was just so angry,” said Chevalier, the Democratic candidate for the 13th Congressional District covering parts of Manhattan and The Bronx, of hearing the illegal migrant’s history as a reputed member of the Trinitarios street gang being used against him “To me, it doesn’t even matter,” she told Piker, who agreed. “Police Commissioner [Jessica] Tisch came out, and I understand it’s her role to provide more information,” she said. “But rather than condemn ICE, rather than condemn the shooting or the events that are taking place, she started to villainize Oscar.“Put yourself in Oscar’s shoes,” she added. “You have your child in the back seat, you’re picking him up from school and all of a sudden you see masked men coming towards your car, banging on it, pull out guns. You’re running. I’m sorry, you’re protecting your child,” she said. “He needs to be released,” she said of Belgal, repeating a call by Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who suggested the menace was a regular “New Yorker.” Asked for parting words, Chevalier told Piker, “F–k ICE and abolish it.”Do not make the mistake of shrugging these stories off as limited to the blue shit holes because this cancer will one day sweep across the nation unless it is contained and wiped out ruthlessly. Not merely the criminals and illegal aliens but their sources of funding and of course the schools that brainwash our youth and others into becoming the Brownshirts who will ultimately be the instruments of our annihilation unless we act now! Elsewhere, we have a couple other related items of note.
Belgal, 28, a reputed member of the Trinitarios street gang,pickedup his son in the Marble Hill neighborhood shortly after 4 p.m. Thursday when plainclothes ICE agents stormed his SUV and fired into the vehicle when he tried to pull away, wounding him in the neck.
“Capital punishment presents moral questions that philosophers, theologians, and statesmen have grappled with for millennia,” Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in 2015 — so the Constitution’s Framers “handled it the same way they handled many other controversial issues: they left it to the People to decide.”And then there's this evil cancer that we'll at long last be dealing with.
The late legal titan adduced the Fifth Amendment’s guarantee that no person shall be “deprived of life . . . without due process of law” to offer a proclamation so intuitive that any middle schooler ought to grasp it: “It is impossible to hold unconstitutional that which the Constitution explicitly contemplates.”
Progressive elites, who have no problem with homicide when victims are unborn children or born children of mothers pleading “postpartum psychosis,” no longer hold the death penalty for society’s worst offenders in high regard.
But those of an older and wiser mentality continue to dispense the ultimate punishment for the most hardened and impenitent criminals.
That’s why Tennessee sentenced Pike to death. . . Pike’s botched execution is an astounding embarrassment for the state of Tennessee. But the only reason there are botched executions today is because of the left’s decades-long legal crusade to intentionally throw sand in the gears of the execution process — over the objection of a majority of Americans, who have long favored capital punishment. In the 1960s, activist NAACP lawyers launched a campaign to challenge the death penalty on grounds of “systemic racial bias.” (Sound familiar?). . . The left has also waged war on lethal injection drug “cocktails,” similarly claiming that execution method constitutes a “cruel and unusual punishment.”
. . .It’s all part of a concerted effort to end the death penalty — whether by judicial kill shot or by chemical fiat. This is all absurd. America was founded on Hebraic, Old Testament values. That’s why most Americans still understand that the only moral response to the most heinous crimes and the most unapologetic criminals is, after due process, to take the criminal’s life.
Nidal Hasan is a savage Islamic terrorist who killed 13 innocent US service members at Fort Hood in 2009. He deserves the death penalty, nothing less. But the idea of broadcasting his execution publicly — livestreaming it! — is beyond grotesque. Such practices define the monstrous beliefs Hasan adhered to: Islamist jihadis like him worship violence and cruelty, a world filled with hatred, utterly lacking mercy or grace. Jihadis will surely use footage of the execution as a recruiting tool. . . America is not a medieval caliphate. Our leaders aren’t supposed to act like jihadists.Will Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who proposed the hideous extravaganza, next suggest filming captured, blindfolded Islamists on their knees, while US soldiers behead them? Hasan’s death is meant to achieve justice for the horrific evil he perpetrated, not serve as a source of entertainment or pleasure for masses.There is no argument that Hasan must be put to death and in fact he should've been summarily executed the moment he was caught. That said, the idea that the video footage of his execution will be a recruiting tool for Muslims to commit jihad is ridiculous at face value given the past 1500 years of history in that Muslims never needed any inducements to commit acts of terrorism as it is what their so-called "religion" demands of its adherents, in their quest to conquer all of humanity. It might induce Leftists to become "Islamic" and use it as a cassus belli against America, as if they need any more inducement either to hate their own country and heritage.
At first, this is perhaps a reason not to broadcast it. I can argue for and against. I think Christa Pike's execution might be worthy of a live broadcast. Then again, it's not so much the spectacle but the death penalty's prompt application might be what we at long last need to prevent further atrocities. Then again, it's the degeneration of our culture that created Christa Pike. Unfortunately the human condition means that we will always have sick, twisted people in our midst. We have to eradicate every last vestige of the cultural rot of the past 60-70 years that supercharged the mental disorders that turbocharged her brand of degeneracy. And seal the friggin' borders!!!!! On these notes, I bid you all to have a good day. PS: We had a weather event over the weekend, not to make light of the deaths and the damage done, but storms, hurricanes, earthquakes and volcanoes have been causing death and destruction for a few billion years now, and there's not a damn thing we can do about them, aside from moving to places that are not as prone to them as others. Prayers for all who suffered.

26 Yeah, Italians. Columbus had to go beg the Queen of Spain for ships, because Italy was a confederacy of dunces, and not a proper nation. Before birth control, Italians had almost as many kids as the Irish. Now Italian "men" live with Mama until age 50.

27 The death penalty is neither cruel nor unusual.
I tentatively support it because some crimes are so monstrous that that is the only appropriate remedy.
My reservations are is it gives awesome power to the state, the possibility of error, and spending a lifetime in prison is a pretty harsh sentence for most crimes.Posted by: Thomas Bender at October 12, 2026 07:58 AM (XV/Pl)

As bad a crime problem as the illegals pose - and it is BAD - the second generation is *even worse.* Left alone, I have little doubt that Lil' Oscar would be sporting neck tattoos and peddling dope within ten years.

In written crime stories too. An early Donald E. Westlake short was called "The Curious Facts Preceding My Execution," implying that the narrator's committing murder led pretty quickly to Death Row.
In British crime fiction, too, "the hangman" was always the fate the murderer was trying to escape, and the fate Poirot or Miss Marple opined that he was heading for after being unmasked.Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 12, 2026 08:07 AM (wzUl9)

Yet recruitment into the military is at an all time non-war high.
Men need high adventure even when the "war" is pointless and only serves the interests of truly wicked people. Just come up with a plausible excuse, whip up the emotions, point them in the direction of someone and even though there is no "Rules Based Order" (at best we have multi-tier Calvinball "Rules") and the men who are expected to fight are hated by those they are allegedly defending.

Even the formula on how to make the stealth coating.
And they've tried mightily to build their stealth tech.
And failed miserably.

125 Whoa. I've started work on my projects. Took a few minutes break. Here's a little tiny, small story from GatewayPundit.
Inconsequential...but here.
Federal agents raided the Washington, DC-area residence of far-left Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) early Monday morning as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into her immigration paperwork.
Fox News Digital reported exclusively that the pre-dawn raid is part of an ongoing criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman’s immigration paperwork, documents filled out by her late father when she was a child.
Multiple agents wearing HSI jackets were observed outside the residence around 6 a.m.
It can be recalled that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told conservative media host Benny Johnson on Thursday night that Ilhan Omar did indeed marry her brother and could be deported.Posted by: Stateless - Ralphy - 105 years old!

For several generations now, the municipal police forces are basically armed code enforcement agents who are the muscle behind the will of the city council. They have replaced men of the community who traditionally handled local petty crime into whatever theater of crime prevention that we have now to the point where Men of Action who try to restore order are the targets of LEOs.
Trump, in his efforts to have the various federal agencies step in to do local policing are doing the very things that the JBS has been warning about for over fifty years.Posted by: Community Notes at October 12, 2026 08:52 AM (a4flb)

I just spoke with @MarkJCarney, @alexstubb, and @SecGenNATO Mark Rutte. We discussed the energy ceasefire announced by President Trump. Ukraine supports the ceasefire, and it is important that Russia support it as well. We are awaiting details from the American side.

192 . . . scenes from the strenuous life of a professional Muslim protester in the Kashmiri city of Srinagar. Over the last few years, there have been innumerable opportunities for him to demonstrate his piety and his pissed-offness. And the cameras have been there for him every time. Is it a fatwah? Is it a copy of the Quran allegedly down the gurgler at Guantanamo? Is it some cartoon in Denmark? Time for Rage Boy to step in and for his visage to impress the rest of the world with the depth and strength of Islamist emotion. . .
We may have to put up with the Rage Boys of the world, but we ought not to do their work for them, and we must not cry before we have been hurt. . . the bookstore chains of America pulled The Satanic Verses from their shelves, just as Borders shamefully pulled Free Inquiry after it reproduced the Danish cartoons. Rage Boy keenly looks forward to anger, while we worriedly anticipate trouble, and fret about etiquette, and prepare the next retreat. If taken to its logical conclusion, this would mean living at the pleasure of Rage Boy, and that I am not prepared to do.

No, but they did expand the definition of rape to include:
- asking for sex.
- sending a group chat message about sex.
- suggesting that LC had, in fact, not been raped.
They also suggested that if a woman even saw a photograph of some intoxicant that they were incapacitated, could not give consent, and could declare any sexual activity to be rape in the event that they were subsequently told not to attend any parties.Posted by: I used to have a different nic at October 12, 2026 09:10 AM (ExV1e)

206 In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
He had three ships and left from Spain;
He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.
He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
He used the stars to find his way.
A compass also helped him know
How to find the way to go.
Ninety sailors were on board;
Some men worked while others snored.
Then the workers went to sleep;
And others watched the ocean deep.
Day after day they looked for land;
They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand.
October twelve their dream came true,
You never saw a happier crew!Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at October 12, 2026 09:19 AM (vOxCS)

It begins, "The U.S. Department of Education said Wednesday it was expanding its antisemitism investigation of Swarthmore College after a student group allegedly shared a video of an effigy of an Israeli soldier being set on fire."
Part of the College's response:
"SJP is not a recognized organization at the College, and hasn't been since September 2025, when the College permanently revoked its affiliation. That means the groups is prohibited from accessing College funds, scheduling or hosting events on campus, or accessing any other College resources available to student organizations. Additionally, other student organizations are prohibited from co-sponsoring, acting on behalf of, or affiliating with Swarthmore SJP in any manner," Hirsch (a spokesperson for Swarthmore College) said.
BTW, former president Obama had wanted to attend Swarthmore for undergrad studies.

Aside: The good people of Swarthmore (home of U.S. Rep Mary Gay Scanlan, D-PA) shall never stomp their very well-heeled feet & raise their voices towards the College. After all, even recently it agreed to contribute $638,000 to Swarthmore Borough to help cover rising emergency service and public safety costs thus averting a proposed 1% earned income tax (EIT) that would have affected residents and college employees.

- Xbox sales have fallen 33% to the lowest level since the platform launched 75 years ago. (MSN)
PlayStation sales are also down by 25%, their lowest level since 1813.

Nobody is buying it, but there are shortages?
Tech News
- Analyst firm New Constructs estimates that Anthropic is worth around $150 billion. (CNBC)
That's a lot of money.
Only problem is the company is seeking $2 trillion in its upcoming IPO.
- Aaron Sorkin's new film, The Social Reckoning, focusing on the explosive allegations of whistleblower Frances Haugen that people are idiots, is a failure. (IndieWire)
I am surprise.
- Here's a pretty good SSD at a pretty bad price. (Tom's Hardware)
I'm not sure how bad the pricing is compared with other SSDs right now; the curve between the worst and the best models has flattened out a lot.
- One of the original test data packets for RFC1149 is up for auction, offering you a chance to own a piece of internet history. (BSDly)
You might wonder how something ephemeral like a data packed could be auctioned.

25 More than five centuries ago, Christopher Columbus embarked westward across uncharted waters and discovered the New World — bringing with him the rich traditions of Western civilization and paving the way to the birth of the American Nation less than three centuries later.
Today, we honor his life of valor, adventure, and ingenuity.
We cherish his memory and pledge to safeguard his story.
Above all, we remember with gratitude that the triumph of freedom and the glory of our Republic are the fruits of his faith and unrelenting devotion.Posted by: m at October 12, 2026 04:36 AM (odBC9)

110 XBOX: "Nobody is buying it, but there are shortages?"
Supply shortages even worse than the lowered market demand, maybe.
I read a claim the other day that year-over-year PC sales are down somewhere around 20%. That seems... low. A local PC shop I talked to a few months ago said they're not moving ANY custom build/DIY parts right now due to the prices, and the only thing saving them was the pre-built machines, but those prices were rapidly increasing as well.
Okay, now it makes sense. There were still a lot of pre-built machines in the sales pipe that were made with lower price components, so most of this year's sales were exhausting that supply, and now we're into the crapfest of high prices on components affecting everything.
Next year's figures are going to be BAD.Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant, a Moron behind enemy lines at October 12, 2026 07:36 AM (O7YUW)

Need some help staying regular? The ONT is here to help! Oatmeal vs. Greek Yogurt: Which Breakfast Is Better to Help You Poop?What you eat has a direct impact on how well your digestive system functions, including how often, and how comfortably, you poop. If you’re not going as regularly as you’d like, what you eat for breakfast may make a difference. Oatmeal and strained (Greek-style) yogurt are two of the most popular breakfast foods around, and both have earned a reputation for supporting gut health, but they work in different ways. So when it comes to helping you poop, is one better than the other? Here’s what dietitians say.

That's a big-ass veggie! Maine woman grows 170-pound zucchini, breaks North American record
A woman from Maine has broken the North American and U.S. record for growing a zucchini. The Maine Pumpkin Growers Association shared a post to social media saying that Sarah Whitty of Damariscotta grew the 170-pound "giant marrow" zucchini she named Secretariat. Last year, Whitty grew a 162-pounder, but a small split disqualified it, something the Pumpkin Growers Association said is common with this type of crop. But this year, Secretariat prevailed, coming in seven pounds heavier than the last North American record, and smashing the U.S. record of 152 pounds.

Speaking of Maine - seems like there's a feud with Connecticut over lobster rolls. Lobster roll debate over controversial ingredient divides New EnglandOrdering a lobster roll “Connecticut-style” in Maine might garner a dirty look — or worse, a side of mayonnaise instead of butter. A recent debate has heated up in Maine over how a proper lobster roll should be served: warm, with butter, or cold, with mayo. Maine-style lobster rolls traditionally consist of cold lobster meat, either tossed in mayo or served with mayo on the side. A Connecticut-style roll typically includes warm lobster meat, poached in butter or served with warm butter on the side. In both variations, the lobster is piled onto a warm, toasted split-top bun, usually brioche. Despite the discourse over which style of lobster roll reigns supreme, Peter Bissell, co-owner of Highroller Lobster Co. in Portland, Maine, believes there’s room for both.
Both styles are available up near the Doof Enterprises northern command in Cape Cod. They're pricey but good. I prefer the cold / mayo version. Especially with a dusting of Old Bay (yes - I bring my own!)
*** 'Ette Couture (Courtesy of Piper) It's that time of the week - when we turn the ONT over to our good friend Piper for a bit. Here's this week's fashion pr0n. ----- Y’all Ready for This? Creative Halloween Costumes From What You Already Got It is no secret I go in big for Halloween. I typically do a blend of store bought items and things I have in the house already, all used in creative ways. As I was dressing the skeletons, I thought why not bring this same energy to costumes? Let’s raid the linen closet, the kitchen, and that drawer full of random stuff to see what we come up with! Classic Ghost: The Ultimate Minimalist Statement A white sheet is the original handmade costume, and it still works. Drape a clean flat sheet over your head, cut generous eye holes so you don’t wander into a tree, and add a mouth opening if you want to eat or drink. Wear all black underneath and smudge a little black eyeliner around your eyes and mouth, to hide any signs of mortal life. For a couple’s twist, add a bold statement necklace on one and a necktie on the other for his-and-her ghosts. Maybe throw a Hawaiian shirt over the sheet, slap on sandals with socks, a big sun hat, and sunglasses. A tacky tourist ghost!
The Mummy (Another Oldie but Goody) Forget toilet paper—that stuff unravels faster than a family reunion argument. Tear old white T-shirts, sheets, or pillowcases into strips and wrap yourself like you’re about to be stored in the attic for the winter. Leave your face half-free so you can still drink. Add dark circles under your eyes, a little pale or white makeup, and black boots or shoes to finish it.
The Pirate With a Twist Tie a bandana or dish towel on your head and fashion an eye patch from cardboard secured with kitchen twine, maybe we need a rubber band or two. We should ask AOP for advice. Make a hook from foil molded over a paper towel tube. Wear all black, then tape up an empty Amazon box and carry it with you. Congratulations, you’re no longer just any pirate. You’re a Porch Pirate who just lifted a package from an unsuspecting neighbor. Bonus points if you act suspicious every time someone looks at the box.
The Scarecrow Start with a plaid shirt, jeans or overalls, and boots. Stuff straw, raffia, or thin strips cut from tan plastic or paper bags into the sleeves, boot tops, and pockets (yellow or tan yarn works too). Add a floppy hat with more stuffing poking out, and use makeup or face paint for a triangle nose, or just some freckles if you’re keeping it low-key. If you have any crow decorations lying around, zip-tie or twist-tie a few to your outfit.
The Lamp Pop a decorative lampshade on your head, the kind with fringe is ideal, just make sure you can still see. Dress in all black or brown underneath for your lamp stem and tape or clip a small flashlight inside the shade so you actually light up. When people stare, just tilt the shade and say, “Y’all are looking a little dim tonight.”
The Mom (or Dad) Who’s Had Enough Throw an apron over any casual outfit, hang oven mitts from the ties, and wear a colander as a helmet. Carry a sponge in one hand and a stack of paper plates in the other. Mess up your hair and smudge your lipstick and mascara if you are the mom type. Walk around the party aggressively “cleaning” surfaces while announcing that you’re the only one around here who loads the dishwasher correctly.
The Package That Got Lost Wear a big cardboard box (or several smaller ones taped together) with a shipping label drawn on the front. Shuffle around looking confused and ask people if they’ve seen your tracking number. Seek out the Porch Pirate if they’re at the same party, the two of you can have a whole subplot.
The Socks the Dryer Ate Gather every single sock in the house that’s lost its mate and glue them all over an old solid-color shirt (or better yet, an old black shirt and pair of sweatpants you’re willing to sacrifice). Add random bits of dryer lint for texture. You are now the official representative of every sock that has ever disappeared into the laundry abyss.
These costumes prove you don’t need much more than a little imagination and whatever’s already lying around the house. They’re easy to throw together and they give you something to talk about when someone asks what in the world you’re supposed to be. Did this spark any ideas you can share with us? ----- Thanks, Piper! Bonus fashion content! Here are some photos sent in by our friend lin-duh.Here is the spawn with friends from homecoming last weekend.

47 More than whelmed tonight, very nice, loved the "fashion" and the Arch video very much. I watch a fellow regularly on Youtube who fishes the river almost in the shadow of the Arch. He pulls so many species out of there from shore on the Missouri side, sturgeon, buffalo, grass carp, common carp, blue cats, channel cats, flathead cats, drum, Asian carp, 3 different gar species. His largest fish was a 130 lb. sturgeon.Posted by: Pleased As Punch at October 11, 2026 10:22 PM (EdP2u)

And splash them across the nightmares in my head
And close my eyes and try to change
The person that I know that I've become
The echo of your words inside my mind
It lingers even after all these years
I pray that it will never fade
Inside my broken heart

Euler was about the most prolific mathematician in history. The list of things named after him is ridiculous. At one point, they decided to just stop naming it after him, and using the second guy to discover it.

142 That remote construction toys lunch counter... I'm curious about the song playing in the background. Shazam can't ID it. When I plug the lyrics into Google, it thinks it must be Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison, but while the first line is the same, it's not that song. The singer sounds like he's an Elvis impersonator.
AI?
Posted by: Anon Y. Mous at October 11, 2026 10:26 PM (syz1S)
Yeah, I’m thinking AI. The first line isn’t quite the same as Ray Orbison’s “Pretty Woman”: the probably AI song has “my street” while Orbison sings “down the street”. I typed in every word of the song that was sung, even finished the line about a gleam in her eye and no hits but Orbison.

Was "Auntie-Bellum" the next year in an evening gown from Good Will and a tiara. My bf/husband (won't say what he was) picked me up in the parking lot of the hotel as we were leaving and I slid out of his arms a few feet to the pavement as my dress was very slippery (thick aqua satin or something). I was unfazed as I'd had a lot of drinks and danced for hours at the party. One college friend was alarmed altho I landed on my arse laughing.

200 Forgot...was a pregnant nun with boy #1 for that Halloween. He was due in 10 days, and of course went 10 more days past his due date to make me weep every morning.
I was not one of those girls who could have faked it without anyone knowing I read about. Or, wow, not knowing and whee here he is!
No. I scared people in line at grocery stores who let me go ahead in line. Got stuck in turnstiles. Could barely fit behind a table at a burger place. It was not cool being all baby and looking normal from behind. Surprise!
His final shock for us was to stop moving past his due date, and send me to OB to hook me up and poke him to move. Nurses said, "Oh, twins?" We said no and they picked up 2 heartbeats (long before ultrasounds unless medically needed). We both quietly freaked. My comment was that we only had one crib. The charge nurse came in and looked at me (I felt like a cow at the auction) and said, "She's big but not twins big."

That V - E + F = 2 is very fundamental topological relation. That is called, you guessed it, the Euler characteristic. Any solid that forms a closed surface with no "holes" is topologically a sphere. The Euler characteristic demands that any such sphere must have curvature.
Also, that number is the reason why there are only 5 regular polyhedra, or Platonic solids as they're called due to the Ancient Greek Homos being so enamored with them.
Now, with polyhedra, the faces or mostly flat. The curvature is concentrated in singularities at the vertices, or corners (believe it or not, the edges, while they look singular extrinsically, they are not intrinsically, but are in fact the zero curvature -- a flat lander wouldn't even feel them).
Now, for a smooth surface, such as the perfect sphere, or oblate spheroids, ellipsoids, etc, etc. That curvature gets spread out all over the surface. But the Euler characteristic demands that curvature integrate to 2*2pi, or 720 degrees. That 720 degrees is the sum of the "angle deficit" of all the vertices.
Only triangle, squares, and pentagons can put together to make a solid surface where the angle sum is less than 360 degrees.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at October 11, 2026 11:46 PM (w6EFb)

Now, take a torus. That is closed, but topologically is a very different animal than a sphere. The Euler characteristic of that is 0. So, that says a torus can be flat. And it can, only problem is, you can't embed it in just 3D smoothly.
The classic symmetric donut shape is a 2-torus that can be embedding in 3D (of course it can, cause it exists and we can visualize it, duh). But its curvature integrates to zero (it's positive on the outside, and negative on the inside, zero on the exact top and bottom), just like the Euler characteristic demands.
And there are polyhedral toruses, but the rules there for what is "regular" is different. The sum there is always zero.
A two-hole torus Euler number is -2. And so it must have negative curvature, the negative of a sphere's curvature.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at October 11, 2026 11:58 PM (w6EFb)

229 I knew that about the building of the arch, the fire hoses part to control the movement. I was in engineering school in '65, and had worked a summer in '64 in a Bethlehem Steel fab shop in Leetsdale, PA. We were making the I-70 Poplar Street bridge box beam sections and barging them to St Louis at the same time PDM just upriver was barging arch segments to the same location. I was deer hunting up in the Allegheny Nat'l Forest on opening day buck hunting in '66 and met a structural engineer like me who told me about working for PDM building the arch, him on one of the survey crews that worked nights with pinpoint lights with far-out stations to gage adjustments by shim to get the arch segments in the right 3d places. Years later I spent 3 years working in St Louis and Ms G and the babies and I never tired of visiting the arch. During our time there, a parachutist made an illegal jump one sunny day and landed on top of the arch, carrying a smaller shute he'd use to jump off from there to get to ground. He was furling in the big chute when he lost balance and fell, not straight off, but to slide down one side. SPLAT. DOA. He had an accomplice, or girlfriend or wife, film it.Posted by: M.

Now for a mind bender. There is a 2D topological structure dubbed the Real Projective plane. Think of it as Klein bottle with an extra flipping. It is non-orientable, and it's Euler number is 1. It has half a sphere worth of positive curvature. The simplest geometric object that can do this is a hemisphere, but with an antipodal flip. You walk across the equator and appear on the opposite side.
If you think about it how that would work, you'll see that it requires a handedness flip. If you walk across the equator your mirror image pops out on the other side.
There've been some scifi stories based on this, I think. That boundary is imagined as like walking into a mirror. From your perspective, when you cross the mirror, you pop back out in a mirror image of the world you just left.
From an external observer's point of view, you walk into the mirror and your reflection comes back out.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at October 12, 2026 12:33 AM (w6EFb)

Son's head never made it past anything. He was still floating around and tying his umbilical cord around his neck (twice) when I hit 8cm.

Unfortunately for the sci-fi picture, that handedness flip doesn't really work that way. It's smooth and continuous as you move along the surface. There would be no boundary where it instantly happened. That's sort of hard to imagine, but locally there is never anything strange looking. It's only when you completed a circuit and came back to where you started that the flip would occur. And that's because we spread the curvature out.
If you did with a flat disc, and put all the curvature at the rim in a singularity, it would happen instantly, but that would bad for flatlanders. Yu don't want to cross a curvature singularity.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at October 12, 2026 12:38 AM (w6EFb)

There's another little bummer there. We are 3D beings, so the only way to imagine this for us is to use the 3D version of that real projective plane.
And guess what, the handedness flip only happens in even dimensions. In odd dimensions, it doesn't happen. And in general, the Euler number becomes identically zero for *everything* in odd dimensions. The topological constraints it imposes becomes vacuous in odd dimensions, becoming 0 = 0.
So, in odd dimensions, it tells you nothing. Anything that is topologically a 3-sphere still must have positive curvature, but the Euler number is useless to see that.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at October 12, 2026 12:53 AM (w6EFb)

280 Was just watching a Ewetoob video on the history of the "magic eye" tube, that green glow tube used for tuning many old console radios. Done by AI, of course. Audio quality was all up and down, and it it just plain got facts wrong, and often the video stills were quite unrelated to the topic at hand.

AI is artificial, but not intelligent; it's only as good as it's programming and the material it "learns" from. Since we humans provide the programming and the "learning material", it'll end up as politically biased as the the programmers and data it receives. GIGO, in other words.Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at October 12, 2026 01:52 AM (l3cgK)

In college Halloween '76:
I was a bong. From behind maybe a washing machine, made of giant white poster paper, the front proclaimed "Bong Woman." Yellow fall leaves aka Alcapulco Gold in the foil lined pipe thing. The hole revealed my face. Holes for arms. Huge kegger. People I didn't know had photos with me. Positive I had a great time. Had a group of guy friends as my protectors if bf/hubs was in one of his breakups with me.
Our sons don't have a clue.
Defense is that I made A's & B's in college, worked & had priorities to balance my rather insane life. Haven't touched it since. It was never mine (so there!). The balance between the stress of school and my non-nursing posse of concerts, hiking & skiing.
It was the time of the season in my wild life of freedom. No one was harmed during this anthropology study of college & many friends.
I had a blast in my distant past.
Time of the Season
1967...7th grade for me, way before my prime

Thing that gets me is presumably a human gives an AI the task of putting together a program of images and narration. Mostly these are like a slide show with narration. There might be short animations or film clips included. Don't they proof-read or pre-screen the show? They are full of dumb errors that could be easily fixed, like inconsistent pronunciation of common words. Or images that simply don't relate to the topic at hand. A human editor could do a good cleanup of these programs in one pass-through.Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at October 12, 2026 01:59 AM (quk5M)

Gun Thread: 2026 TXMoMe Edition!

FUNdamentals More fundamentals of range safety for the TXMoMe. I am trying to make a point. Anyone care to guess what it is?******
2026 TXMoMe
******
10/11/26 Update/Reminders/New Stuff No changes this week. Please keep an eye on the weather for Corsicana. NOTE TO ALL: This is a private event, held on private property, and is open by invitation only. If you have not contacted Ben Had, and received a personal invitation, you are, how do I say, not invited. Attendees: do not share the location of the event with anyone or risk losing your own TXMoMe invitation.******
2026 TXMoMe Schedule Here is an outline of the schedule of events. Times are tentative and subject to modification/change. This schedule will be included in the Gun Thread with any changes incorporated going forward until the event, so please check back weekly.Friday, 10/16 Rifle Program
8am - 10:30am: Rifle Clinic (carport)
10:30am - 11am: Combined Range and Safety Briefing - Mandatory for Friday Shooters! (carport)
Noon: Light lunch provided (carport)
11am - 4pm: Live fire (rifle range - targets to 1,000 yds) Handgun Program
10:30am - 11am: Combined Range and Safety Briefing - Mandatory for Friday Shooters! (carport)
11:00am - 12:00pm: Static live fire (pistol range)
Noon: Light lunch provided (carport)

9am - 10am: Combined Range and Safety Briefing - Mandatory for Saturday Shooters! (carport)
9am - 1pm: Live fire (rifle range)
1pm(ish) Lunch (carport) Handgun Program
9am - 10am: Range and Safety Briefing - Mandatory for Saturday Shooters! (carport)
9am - 1pm: Live fire (pistol range)
1pm-ish Lunch (carport)** Shooters: Bring your own hearing and eye protection, and wear sensible shoes as the ground on the ranges can be uneven! Also, please plan on stopping somewhere along your way to Texas and picking up some ammunition if you plan to shoot and aren't bringing your own weapons/ammo. Everyone is very generous with sharing, but please don't rely on the generosity of others to provide everything for you. You can really help out by grabbing a box of 9mm or 5.56mm or whatever you want to shoot. Here is a link to Brinson Power Sports in Corsicana which sells ammo. They also sell ATV's if you want to grab one of those while you're there. Anyhoo... For a while I have been conducting a Rifle Clinic on Friday morning followed by range time Friday afternoon and then again well into Saturday. Most of you (I think) have endured this presentation before, so if there are other topics you would like to have covered, speak up in the comments and I will try to address your request. We have also been steadily refining the handgun portion of the program and this year will be focusing on the static pistol range as well as continuing to offer a separate setup for gun-curious beginners desiring one-on-one supervision and instruction. If you are a novice shooter, or even have never been to the range before and think guns are icky, you are welcome to shoot! Just see an RSO and they will set you up with an experienced shooter to help you. These times are approximate and programs may change as weather conditions and participation warrant. We anticipate a hard stop on both ranges at 1pm on Saturday to allow everyone to participate in the bigly fun TXMoMe festivities. Range Safety
You will note there are combined rifle and handgun range safety briefings both days and attendance is mandatory if you want to shoot. We take your safety seriously and ask everyone who wants to shoot plan on attending this important briefing. Again, we are conducting one combined safety brief each day. No exceptions. At the conclusion of each day's safety briefing you will be asked to sign a general liability waiver, after which you will receive a color-coded wrist band. The color is different each day, and it is your ticket onto the range(s) for the day. No wrist band, no shooting that day. Don't want to sign the waiver? No problem, just do not expect to shoot. If you miss the mandatory range safety briefing which is mandatory and must be attended, you are welcome to watch the live fire activities from designated observation areas. All shooters are asked to check in with an RSO (sporting an Orange Cap of Dorkiness for easy identification) upon your arrival at either of the ranges who will answer questions and direct you to an open firing position. The RSOs wield unspeakable power so it is in your best interest to be nice to them. Want to do things your way? I suggest that your own personal range on your own personal property is a good place for expressing your individuality. IMPORTANT: I would hope this goes without saying, but anyone failing to immediately and politely follow RSO instructions will be removed from the range(s). Period. No exceptions. This means YOU.******

Nicks Cigar World New! A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include?

24 Good evening all
I need to jump right in about something.
I saw this video on X put up by a female shooter who claims to be an instructor. She has 40 thousand followers. The video:
https://tinyurl.com/ypv2snjf
I commented that they shouldn't be firing in the air, people flinching because no eye and ear protection, and drinking alcohol. I asked her if she thought promoting this video was a good idea.
She responded that I'm an idiot for taking this seriously.It's a foreign country and it's just for fun.I just can't believe she thought this was okay.

The rimfire pistol optic is the one that is most meaningful to her. First place individually and squad. She is now in the top squad on the team.

Sharon, having personally observed weapons handling by those from other nations, I can tell you that not everyone in the world takes weapons safety as seriously as everyone here. The weapons handling skills (or lack thereof) on the part of the Russians and Middle Eastern cultures is legendary.Posted by: Ed L at October 11, 2026 07:28 PM (iXFS9)

42 In a sense we are all RSOs in the sense that we all must look out for safety. If anyone sees anything going on that is hazardous - here or at your local range - you can and should call “knock it off”.Posted by: Cow Demon at October 11, 2026 07:30 PM (ekZzx)
43 Ed L, that was my point in a way. First, she only said that in her response to me and second, why hold that up as an example of having fun. We don't look at our phones when we are on the range. Sitting around drinking beer and firing in the air is not something to emulate. I just thought that she, as an instructor, would be pointing out what not to do.Posted by: Sharon(willow's apprentice) at October 11, 2026 07:30 PM (kJmSS)

Watch some of the video of Russian conscripts and "kontractniki" ("volunteers") going through weapons familiarization and shooting their single 30 round magazine on the range before getting on the bus to the front lines. They're far more dangerous to each other than the Ukrainians. And that's before you consider epic fails like the one trainee who got turned into a helicopter when he tried to fire an improvised pedestal gun mount for an Mi-24 "Hind" helicopter 12.7mm rotary (Gatling) from the back of a truck.Posted by: Ed L at October 11, 2026 07:37 PM (iXFS9)

62 After last week's road trip (The Clark Fork river is amazing in the Fall), this week I made time to shoot despite having to work on Saturday.
The Nurse got a new birthday magnum, so I brought my S&W 28 to do some head to head testing. And then...the Nurse's Taurus got a squib load. Fucking Magtech. Because of course. The round literally got lodged in the barrel and had to be hammered out. Not cool.
Anyway, that aside....magnums are magnums. And they are not fun to shoot. Though the nurse did shoot a fucking THUMB sized group at 10 yards. Do not mess with the Nurse if she has a gun.
After the magnum, my G21 felt so mild and pleasant. And honestly...the Glock 21 really is a pleasant .45 platform.
A good range trip all considered.Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards, Buy ammo at October 11, 2026 07:49 PM (s1VwS)

Is that Glock 43X set up for an optic? If not, mounting one can get expensive quickly because a custom cut on the slide may be required to mount an optic. If no mounting plate or cut exists, you might be better off trading in that Glock for something that can mount an optic.
I have a B&T "Hush Puppy" built on a Glock 19 Gen 5 whose slide is cut for an Aimpoint Acro. This is a tough optic, securely mounted to the slide that has a long battery life. It's one of the more expensive choices out there, though. There are a lot of cheaper options if you don't have to have the best of the best, though.Posted by: Ed L at October 11, 2026 07:52 PM (iXFS9)

129 SiD, AOP, I wish I had started on this sooner. Definitely next year. I got so used to just hopping on a plane but Texas is not the DMV. Places are farther apart and I get anxious having to drive in unfamiliar places. Last year, after someone's flight was delayed, they had to wait til 2 am to get a rental car.i would have freaked out. I hate the idea of imposing on others to get around. Motorho,e would work. With how expensive air travel has gotten, it can't be more expensive.Posted by: Sharon(willow's apprentice) at October 11, 2026 08:43 PM (kJmSS)

I’m late to thread, but I’ll give my 2¢: I think the Albanian picnic shoot ‘em up (or whatever it was ) was posted for purposes of derision, but poor captioning made it seem like the poster supported the scene. I think the OP was trying to be sarcastic, but tone doesn’t carry well on the internet. Just my 2¢.Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at October 11, 2026 08:45 PM (fAMPp)

Well, I actually did range time this week. And have a Report:
My new bolt carrier group arrived from PSA for the AR 10. I cleaned, lubed, installed, etc. Function check failed - rounds would only go in halfway!
Closer examination revealed that the forward half of the brass that went off on the bolt not in battery was still there. A .38 brush down the barrel dislodged it. It had pulled apart cleanly at about the midpoint.
I range tested after making sure all my PPE was in place, including gloves. No kaboom. That was good.
25 rounds through so far and all my digits are still attached. Later this week - accuracy testing. I shall report. Even though most of you will still be afterglowing from TX.
Sigh.Posted by: RI Red at October 11, 2026 08:58 PM (30Gj0)

Those who were at one of the MoMes have cool little plastic nametags. The rest of us make do with a stick-on one. I just use my nick, though, because it's easier to spell. (But, I will also not be there until next year.)Posted by: GWB at October 11, 2026 09:32 PM (kU0PQ)

239 I flew into to Houston last Saturday for nephews wedding at a pretty cool place called the Houstonian . . Then we dove down the coast and spent the week in Port Lavaca fishing for redfish, and I actually caught a 4-5 foot long alligator gar. Impressive fish that puts up quite the fight. Port Lavaca and Port O'Conner are all about fishing and hunting. Good time was had. Wish I couldve stayed and drove up to Corsicana though.
