Update: Whoops! The below was supposed to be part of the last post.

I guess it's just some bonus content.


Related: Biden's Open Borders Czar -- DHS Secretary Alexandro Mayorkas -- at long last admits that maybe they should have enforced the border slightly more than not at all.

President Joe Biden's Homeland Security chief acknowledged Tuesday that the U.S. should have acted sooner to tighten immigration controls at the U.S. border with Mexico.

In an interview at the POLITICO Security Summit, former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who became a lightning rod of Republican criticism for the Biden administration's alleged mishandling of a historic wave of migration to the United States, placed most of the blame on a "broken immigration system" that set a "low bar" for admission to the country for those with "credible fear of persecution."

Asked if earlier steps from the Biden administration on border security -- including raising the bar for migrants claiming "credible fear" of returning to their home country -- would have prevented President Donald Trump's return to the White House, Mayorkas replied: "I am not in a position to speculate, but I will tell you that I would be far more better rested and less punched."

Mayorkas, who was impeached by the House in 2024 on claims that he intentionally did not enforce U.S. immigration laws, also emphasized that the Biden administration did, eventually, act to address the migrant influx at the border.

"I was very pleased that in June of 2024, we took executive action that, I thought, made reforms that were sensible and that proved successful," Mayorkas said. "Our tougher border stance in June of '24 was coupled with an increased focus on providing lawful pathways for people to arrive at the United States outside the hands of smugglers -- more secure and more humanitarian. Those two combined -- our numbers dropped 70, 75 percent."

BTW, I couldn't remember his exact position. I thought he was DHS but decided that there's no way even Biden would appoint such an absolute zero to such a crucial position, so I wrote he was "Secretary of the Interior."

But then I checked. Nope, he's was SecDHS.

24 Mayorkas? Wasn't he impeached?
Let's ask Al Gore's Amazing Internet(TM):

"Republicans have made sharp criticism of Mayorkas' policies and tenure, leading to his impeachment for dereliction of duty in a narrow and largely partisan 214–213 vote by the House of Representatives in 2024. Mayorkas is the first cabinet member to be impeached since William Belknap in 1876. The Senate voted 51–49 to dismiss the impeachment charges on April 17, ending the impeachment without a trial."

The AKC doesn't have searchable records before 2016 and it's 2010-2015 I need. At least he was shown in a limited area and it will be a hard slog going through every club in that area to find the records of past events.

ALERT: McDonald's employee videos herself shoveling French fries into her mouth and then back in the box, and saying, “So you want French fries today, right?”

The incident happened at a McDonald's located in Southbridge, Massachusetts, and was sent as a private message before leaking to the public.

🚨South Carolina Redistricting is NOT dead even if Massey & cronies win this vote.

Here’s the next play—
If the senate blocks Redistricting Resolution it goes back to the SC House.

The House can simply nonconcur to Senate changes and refuse to pass a Sine Die Resolution (the resolution that calls them back for a special session).

This would allow the Governor to call a Special Session.

At that special session, Redistricting can pass by a simply majority instead of a 2/3rds vote.

You may say—but the Governor said he won’t call one!
True.
But likely his tune will change.

And even if
@henrymcmaster
doesn’t, the state budget still hasn’t been passed…
Hypothetically if the House doesn’t pass a final version of the budget by 5pm Thursday (adjournment/end of session), then the Governor MUST call them back for a Special Session.

These are local factions of the country club GOP phenomenon that don't quite get that the world has changed and the old ways do not play anymore. Quite a few of them are befuddled old farts that have grown old, rely on donors to tell them what to do, and think their voters are trash.

They sit with their pontifications from a comfortable perch, espousing their fake as hell self serving Christianity for some, preening in their imagined gravitas and yet fail the very ideal that put them in that seat. Representation of the voters that put them in office.

If they did not want to follow the wishes of their voters on a critical issue, then resignation is a perfectly fine way to express that.

4. Remove old fill valve from tank. Discover there is more water in the tank than I thought. Throw down another towel.
5. Install new fill valve in tank. Have the wit to run the little fill tube into the overflow pipe.
6. Lay down on floor for access. Attach water supply to fill valve. Open angle stop a little. Close angle stop, mop up more water, then attach water supply correctly. Turn on water. Heave sigh of relief at the lack of leaks.
7. Place hand on closed toilet seat lid to lever myself off the floor. Accessorize cheap toilet seat lid with a giant crack.

Posted by: Anna Puma at May 12, 2026 08:44 PM (2GVsD)

If you look at the population of the country at its founding and the size of the House, it was something like 1 rep for every 30K people. Which if you want the same proportion today, you'd end up with a House with 10K reps.

Sounds unworkable at first, but I think it could be done. And people would again be able to actually know their representative in Congress.

175 Korean counting and time-telling is a mess because of the way they mix traditional Korean and Chinese numbers. If you want to say it's 5:22, that's 5 Korean hours and 22 Chinese minutes. You get to memorize numbers in TWO languages.
Posted by: Blonde Morticia


If you want to say there are X of something in Japanese, you can only use a generic "counter word" if there are 10 or fewer things. Otherwise, you need to know what you're counting. People, small animals, large animals, flat things, long things, round things, pairs of chopsticks..... there are about 500 of these categories.

Generic counter words: hitotsu, futatsu, mittsu, yottsu..... but these stop at 10.

People: hitori, futari, sannin, yonin.....

Dogs (small animals): ippiki, nihiki, sanbiki, yonhiki.....

Years: ichinen, ninen, sannen, yonen.....

Years of age: issai, nisai, sansai, yonsai.....

178 NO!!
"In 1807, after signing the Treaty of Tilsit, Napoleon Bonaparte celebrated with a grand rabbit hunt. His chief of staff, Alexandre Berthier, sourced over 3,000 domesticated rabbits for the event. Upon release, instead of fleeing, the hungry rabbits charged toward Napoleon and his party, overwhelming them. The Emperor was forced to retreat to his carriage, with some rabbits even entering it. "

Since the redistricting issue has become the center of attention a lot of people have noticed that New England that Republicans get about 40% of the national vote yet have zero representation in the House. Those of us who live here noticed that years ago. Because we live it.

We know we are going to lose outside a miracle and yet we still turn out to take 40% of the vote. Imagine the turnout if we thought we could win. Imagine what will happen to the Democrat vote if they think they can lose.

200 Today's adventure was replacing a toilet fill valve.
1. Shut off water at angle stop and flush toilet to drain tank.
2. Disconnect water supply and find angle stop isn't holding and is letting water dribble out.
3. Throw down a bath towel and decide to press on rather than crawling into the crawlspace to shut off house water supply.
4. Remove old fill valve from tank. Discover there is more water in the tank than I thought. Throw down another towel.
5. Install new fill valve in tank. Have the wit to run the little fill tube into the overflow pipe.
6. Lay down on floor for access. Attach water supply to fill valve. Open angle stop a little. Close angle stop, mop up more water, then attach water supply correctly. Turn on water. Heave sigh of relief at the lack of leaks.
7. Place hand on closed toilet seat lid to lever myself off the floor. Accessorize cheap toilet seat lid with a giant crack.
8. Give toilet a successful flush and break out the whiskey early.

214 Korea was a close as I've come to a real-world "who's on first" conversation.

During the currency crash in 1998, we had to audit a subsidiary that was asking us for cash. They were on the verge of running out because the banks were refusing to extend lines of credit. And the company was literally hand to mouth needing those lines.

So I look at their cash flow statement, and it shows 9 individual loc's.

"Have you received this cash?"

"No"

"Then you have to remove it from your cash flow statement"

"But we need that cash"

"But the bank has told you they will not renew the line"

"But we need that cash"

And this repeated several loops for each line.

Got a great dinnerout of that trip and a good night of shopping in the itea-won (sp).

Told our finance wizards "yeah, they're well and truly screwed. Cut 'em a check or they'll be dormant in a week. "

Loomer has the receipts. But even more, someone paid him to stick around and give speeches.

"Kerry’s post was posted at the exact same time Massie was giving a speech at a Libertarian event in South Africa (because he's America First of course!).

Weeks earlier, on October 28, 2025, Kerry Welsh posted a casual photo of himself and Massie at Red Rock Canyon outside of Las Vegas, describing the Congressman as "my Sassie houseguest."

It appears that not only is Cynthia West telling the truth about the South Africa trip, but Massie found it to be so romantic, he returned to South Africa for his honeymoon with a different woman just one year later. Welsh also attended Massie’s wedding and posted a video of himself at Massie’s wedding on Instagram.

Immediately after returning from South Africa, Cynthia West appears to have started working for Massie's close friend, Rep. Victoria Spartz, as of December 2024.

247 From Aladin on X.

Cynthia West claimed that Thomas Massie took her to South Africa on a political trip. When I checked Rep. Massie’s travel schedule, it looks like he went to South Africa for the G20 summit on November 21–22, 2025. The delegation’s hotel room costs for the trip totaled $185,474 paid by taxpayers.

Dustin Grage
@GrageDustin
Ralph Norman (R) just made this statement after the 7-0 map failed.

“The SC Senate’s RINOs blocked the will of We The People and President Trump! Let me be clear: NONE of them should be in public office after the next election and as governor, I’ll make sure of it!!”

@RalphNorman
has been advocating for a 7-0 map since August of 2025.

@Knesix

At 7:52 AM this morning, while shuffling toward Air Force One for a flight to Beijing, the President hopped on Truth Social to announce that Cuba is "asking for help" and he’s down to "talk."

This is the same Cuba that spent sixty-seven years trying to export revolution to anyone with a Che Guevara poster and a room temperature IQ, and now they’ve finally run out of sandwiches, gasoline, and excuses.

It’s the third domino to tip over in less than a year, and the sound it made was remarkably like a pathetic whimper[ . . .]

Yes, per some quick googling: Donald Trump won significant legal battles against Stormy Daniels (real name Stephanie Clifford), specifically regarding a "failed defamation suit" she filed against him in 2018. Federal courts dismissed her lawsuit and ordered her to pay over



in total legal fees to Trump across various rulings.

Further in the Politico article:
And they come as Democrats continue to litigate what path to forge on immigration, an issue which propelled Trump back to the White House in 2024, as his poll numbers on the issue have tanked. The Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, which saw immigration officers shoot and kill two American citizens, has prompted many voters to voice disapproval of the Trump administration’s immigration strategy."

We were trying to get the right mix is the excuse, and just in time for primaries too.

He's a rat bastard and thoroughly enjoyed what was unleashed on the country, as did the rest of the Biden cabinet and Biden Inc.
