Schmoll: Credibly-Accused Sexual Deviant Thomas Massie Trails His Trump-Backed Primary Opponent
The vote -- the reckoning -- is this coming Tuesday.
If these poll results are accurate, Thomas Massie will be spending more time with his weird sex fetishes like the Mexican Wheelbarrow, the Saigon Starfish, and the spectacular but dangerous Triple Lindy. BTW, Elric the Blade said he didn't like pushing this kind of unevidenced accusation. But I'd point out that Thomas Massie has been doing nothing but accusing Trump, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, of participating in the Epstein sex scandals and covering them up. You play the dirty game, then you play by the rules of the dirty game. Live by the sword, die by the sword. But that said: This poll was conducted before those allegations were "re-surfaced" on the internet.In more schmolling news: Spencer Pratt is performing pretty well in the LA mayoral race. He's just a scotch behind the communist catastrophe Mayor Karen.
Quantus Insights
@QuantusInsights NEW QUANTUS INSIGHTS POLL | May 11--12, 2026 Kentucky's CD4 Republican primary has become one of the most closely watched House primaries in the country, and our latest survey finds Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein leading Rep. Thomas Massie. 📊 Kentucky CD4 GOP Primary
🔴 Ed Gallrein: 48.3%
🔴 Thomas Massie: 43.1%
⚪️ Undecided: 7.6%
----------------------------------------------------
With leaners included, Gallrein expands his advantage. 📊 Firm + Leaners
🔴 Ed Gallrein: 52.8%
🔴 Thomas Massie: 45.1%
⚪️ Still undecided: 2.1%
----------------------------------------------------
📈 Leaner Movement
Among voters who were not completely sure yet:
🔴 Lean toward Ed Gallrein: 52.4%
🔴 Lean toward Thomas Massie: 23.4%
⚪️ Still completely undecided: 24.1% Gallrein is winning the leaner pool by more than two-to-one, moving him above 50% when firm support and leaners are combined.
----------------------------------------------------
📊 Key Takeaway
Massie retains a durable base of support, but Gallrein leads on the initial ballot and strengthens his position once leaners are allocated.
In a nationalized Republican primary shaped by Trump's endorsement, outside spending, and Massie's independent brand, Gallrein enters the final stretch with the advantage.
Political PollsI'll bet I know whose supporters are most energized. As you probably saw, a leftwing union released an "anti" Pratt ad accusing him, if you can believe this, of wanting the homeless to either clean up their acts or get out, of wanting to hire more police than social workers (!!!), and of saying that maybe government workers unions shouldn't have all the power in LA. The ad was so accidentally pro-Pratt that many suspected it was a false flag or parody, but it was real. Pratt's supporters are pumping out parodies of that real ad (which itself seemed like a parody), accusing Pratt of not wanting LA to burn to the ground, and showing Mayor Karen celebrating her "accomplishments."

Those are parodies. But this is real: Mayor Karen is upset that the super-meth smoking homeless have no teeth. Her policy agenda here is to give the super-meth smoking homeless "comprehensive medical care" to fix them up with great false teeth. Not to get them off meth, you understand. That would be Fascist.
Karen Bass: “How many people, who are unhoused, that you meet have no teeth at all? They don’t have teeth, why? Because meth rots your teeth. YOU CAN’T SUCCEED WITHOUT TEETH! So there needs to be comprehensive healthcare provided to people.”

It's like Politics as an entity is simply desperate to regain my attention, or something.
Seriously, close your eyes for a week or two, then open them up and see how stark raving nuts everyone in "the news" is. Even taking today as your relative standard for the normal amount of stark raving nuttery.

However, while Pratt will most likely lose, the combination of Pratt as candidate in the general with at least one of the Republicans advancing to the general in the governor's race will do marvels for Republican turnout across the whole state.

Ignore if you are left/right/whatever for a minute. Wouldn't you vote against Bass? She's objectively and repeatedly failed.
If the politicians are afraid of the voters you would assume she would have resigned and let some other Dem run but...no.
This is not how representative government is supposed to work at all. Its like hiring a guy to fix your roof and instead he burns down your shed, seizes your backyard, and lets a bunch of Mexicans and crazy people into your house with the key you left him...

You would also think that voters would remember what happened in the Palisades fire. Caruso had his private firefighters save his commercial buildings and other structures. Pratt gives off the same vibes but you can't over estimate the strength of the unions, the black voting bloc, and, cheating.

I'm afraid it will be close but no cigar, Spence. A majority of people who might have voted enough to push him over the line have already left the city/state. Even if he somehow manages to win, the rest of the government apparatus will just neuter anything he wants to do.

It's always new programs for migrants, criminals, drug addicts, indigent, lazy, fraudsters, etc.
before a single drug addict gets free dental care, or food, or housing, or a phone, etc. ever taxpayer should have all those things. It's madness.

Yes. E. Belfort Bax was an English socialist, and therefore automatically of questionable character and morality. Yet, despite all that and initializing Ernest too, he still wrote The Fraud Of Feminism in 1913, while other men were still smiling and nodding at slanders of their grandfathers. It's in the public domain now, if you want to examine his arguments with the benefit of 113 years of hindsight...

Fraud is an enormous problem, much of the US election system is at African levels of integrity and security - but many are pretty cavalier about dismissing just how dumbed-down, misinformed, and low civic IQ much of the populace is. And here I especially refer to the "educated" cohort.
In many jurisdictions for every fraudulent vote there are 20 actual votes for insane, destructive, abhorrent policies and candidates. It's a very bad case of whistling past the graveyard to pretend America is not burdened and endangered by its own electorate.

As you probably saw, a leftwing union released an "anti" Pratt ad accusing him, if you can believe this, of wanting the homeless to either clean up their acts or get out, of wanting to hire more police than social workers (!!!), and of saying that maybe government workers unions shouldn't have all the power in LA.
The ad was so accidentally pro-Pratt that many suspected it was a false flag or parody, but it was real.
One of you Morons suggested that Pratt should just rebroadcast the ad, with the addition of "I'm Spencer Pratt and I approve this message".
The only variation I'd add onto that inspired response is to have Pratt sitting in a Lazy-boy sipping a beer and turning up the volume with the remote to watch the "anti-Pratt" ad with a big smile on his face. THEN have him give the approval message, while holding in the laughter.

The only variation I'd add onto that inspired response is to have Pratt sitting in a Lazy-boy sipping a beer and turning up the volume with the remote to watch the "anti-Pratt" ad with a big smile on his face. THEN have him give the approval message, while holding in the laughter.

Damn right wing violence!
WATCH: Karen Bass is worried Spencer Pratt's AI ads are "violent" and that demonizing her could "provoke" unstable people and "jeopardize" her safety 🤔
. . . .
His social media is now taking on a violent turn and that worries me. Because when you do that, and when your messages are so hateful, or when you demonize people then you do provoke people who are unstable and you can jeopardize people's safety ... The throwing of the tomatoes which looked like blood ...

Pratt (or Hilton) would be mostly speed-bumps - which is nothing to sneeze at, and Trump may end up being largely that as well - but there's actually a lot they can do if they get into office. Just as with Trump - well, when the "judiciary" allows it, I guess.

The only prayer Spencer has is it's basically a 3 way race with 2 dems.
Just not sure though how much the other dem is soaking up the anti Bass votes that might normally go to him as just a protest vote.

109 TJM do you know the status of the suit against the CA redistricting? I thought it was on hold, not dismissed, and with the Callais decision might have a new lease on life. Think that the promoters of the stupid measure bragged about its racially drawn districts at some point.
How beautiful it would be if Callais took down the latest CA idiocy.

Lawsuit got to SCOTUS and SCOTUS sided with CA.
Any new challenges post-Callais (which may have a chance of gaining some traction since the designers of the map explicitly called out race as a factor) would stem from new suits.

Fortunately I was in the back seat of the car and my momentary look of astonishment and wonder was not observed. I said nothing.

Of course leftists use language to advance their cause. They charged woman to birthing person to eliminate concept of men and women. They do that all the time. Or the best example illegal alien to undocumented immigrant. Of you’re not doing anything illegally you just lost your documents. That is powerful in advancing an agenda.
But homeless and unhoused is the same fucking thing. They mean the same thing. I don’t see how unhoused is more progressive or more “humanitarian” or whatever. Thats what makes it so retarded.

f you watch Carolla - you know Nithya. She's a hobby horse of his. She is fucking horrible. Worse than Bass, but for not happening to be mayor when the city burned.
My ideal outcome would be her beating Bass and Katie Porter winning the primary, which is all that counts in CA.
That will be the best combo for my sadistic pleasure.

This was the amyloid genesis of the disease theory. I think it is more complicated, but the CW was that if you could only remove the plaques, people would get better. The alternative was that the brain was getting damaged, and the plaques were just taking up space, not doing harm. There is more blame to go around than just that one paper.

Better question: why did we change from bums to homeless?
Bums are at the lowest rung of the ladder.
Hobos travel, and are willing to work
Tramps travel, and will work if they have to, but reluctantly
Bums don't travel, and absolutely refuse to work.

153 if only Pratt was running for Governor, not Mayor, he'd win easily, as there is almost no competition.”
Pratt has a very compelling reason to run for mayor, it’s the foundation of his campaign. The current Mayor burned his house down, and burned his parents house down as well, and he’s pissed as hell about it.

In England in the 50s and 60s there was a giant in the field of research on identical twins raised apart. Had more instances than anyone. Decades later someone looked into it - despite adding more and more people the numbers and error bars didn't change. He finagled his way and got a look at the records. All fraudulent.
Posted by: Oldcat at May 13, 2026 02:45 PM (8avO+)
I think it was always pretty clear that nobody was separating identical twins. How they found even one or two instances is a complete mystery. I'm always amazed at what the "smart" people think the rest of us will accept in terms of obvious fraud.

I have worked with these grant-funded paper writers.
Their only incentive is generate more grants and more clicks. They care nothing for the truth, and in fact they often "know" they are right and so faking the data is just a shortcut to the next step, where they will get more money, a bigger lab, more techs, and be able to prove they are right.
It is a failed model. Grant funding of research produces junk.

So, to continue from last thread:
I found my father's namesakes MACR number. I've also found an explanation for the different death dates of the crew.
8 (included my great-great uncle) died when the bomber was over Kawasaki, Japan, but 3 were able to parachute out. They were captured and taken to Tokyo. The American Air Corps then firebombed Tokyo, and the Japanese wouldn't let the Americans out of their prison cells, so they all died in the inferno.

The destroying is the point. Otherwise you would lose the money coming in every year to build the housing.

unhoused implies the issue is just that the individual just needs a place to live to make it all better.
The reality is that they are "unhousable" in the disfunction and addiction that makes them unsafe to be around and incapable of making any long term action to better their lives or even maintain a condition if they were given one.
So many are on the street because it is easier than not being an addict and actually doing things to maintain a life.

That's pretty much how we designed soldier housing on base. Don't have to be druggies or mental patients at the ages of 18-24 to destroy housing. No idea why lefties think giving somebody something is going to motivate them take care of it. Skin in the game, i.e. purchase price, is the only motivation that truly works. But then, I'm sure the construction companies appreciate the grift as much as the NGOs signing the contracts.

It was on Alzheimer's, the guy manipulated all his data, and this study was live for 3-4 decades, only recently retracted in 2022. And outrageously, it only took until 2024 for Oxford to get this guy to retire!.
Is that the one that insisted amyloid plaque was THE cause for Alzheimers?
Lilly Pharma is running ads about how "amyloid" might be the problem if your elderly mother is showing signs of menta deterioration - no mention of "alzheimers" - so apparently they're going ahead with whatever anti-amyloid plaque medications they've been spending all their money developing, without ever implying that it's an Alzheimer's treatment.

Posted by: Vengeance at May 13, 2026 02:55 PM (wKGPt)
At my last reading some 80 labor MPs have called on him to step down, but 100 have signed on. One possible candidate is not in Parliament right now, so to force a leadership change he would have to get an MP to step down and win a seat. But his area went heavily Reform and Green so it is unclear if he would win.
Starmer seems willing to just refuse to do anything and dare them to take him down. None of the Laborites want an election now, they'd be creamed.

The Anchorage Assembly is full of fags from CA who have no idea what Alaska is or who real Alaskans are. Everyone knows the voting is a joke, because of who runs the counting and who controls the $$ for the free shit army.
And Anchorage has more than half the population of the entire state.

PhD candidates have to do some original research that is often never reviewed or replicated, and there is a pattern of researchers falsifying studies to get more grants.
I figure the best fix is to have Masters' candidates engage in replicating studies as part of their qualification. At least in Chemistry, biology and other such hard sciences.

I’m trying to think of the downside.
I truly believe England is in very serious trouble. They’ve been invaded in ways even the Romans couldn’t do, and it’s their own democratic process and government officials that allowed it to happen. It will be majority muslim, and slowly moved away from English common law and towards sharia in a few years. The foreign born population and migrants is going to swamp them and destroy the country.

I think the primary motivation to vote for Murkowski comes from the fact that she is a more crafty "John Murtha". Highest Per Capita (Per Person): Alaska leads the nation ($24,796 per resident).
Murtha used to set up a card table in the US Capitol to manage Earmarks. Murkowski doesn't set up the table, but she's always first in line to shower gifts on her constituents. It's one of the primary reasons she opposes the US taking over Greenland. It would move Alaska down below Greenland on federal appropriations.

Patty Murray truly is one of the dumbest Senators in DC. She asked Lee Zeldin about a NYTimes article that claims EPA are looking into ways to detect abortifacients in the water. This is in service to a leftist conspiracy theory that Trump is trying to crack down on abortions.
But Murray is so stupid, she can't form a coherent question. She asks Zeldin about it in an extremely vague way. Zeldin asks if she's talking about EPA's efforts to track and clean up medications found in our water, which is a real problem.
Murray doesn't understand what she's asking, so she starts stammering that she's quoting a NYTimes article about abortions in the water. Zeldin again tries to clarify, but Murray is a mountain of stupid which cannot be summited, so he gives up and assures her they're not looking into abortions in the water.

The GDR was falling apart around him, and even so, he was bragging to Gorby that nothing needed to change, that the GDR was a Top 15 world economy, etc etc etc. Honecker was oblivious to what was going on until Willi Stoph initiated the ouster of Honecker.

Well in Labor's case, the pro-Starmers are the ones swept in when the electorate were punishing Tories so their chance of winning anything again are nil. The others have some chance of winning a seat so they want the Party to limp out of this mess.
there's an old saying "There's a lot of Ruin in a Country" and I think this still holds for them. But their days of even being a pretend associate world leader are done, even if they manage to get decent leadership again.

292 Doesn't every resident of Alaska get a share of the Pipeline money?
Posted by: Bulg at May 13, 2026 03:09 PM (77rzZ)
We have the Permanent Fund Dividend. By law, it is the proceeds of the Permanent Fund which was set up during the Pipeline Era to refund to the people that which was made by developing the oil fields. According to the State Constitution, the resources of Alaska belong to the people, not the government, so the people are paid directly from the proceeds, after inflation-proofing the fund.
Then our previous governor decided he could raid that fund to finance his overspending government, so now the legislature just takes a big chunk of everyone's dividend to balance the state budget. It is rampantly illegal, but so far nobody has successfully sued to restore the full dividend. It is currently between $1K and $1.5K, but if it were the full amount, it would be between $3K and $5K depending upon the year.
But we pay no income tax, so there's that.

Word on the street is that the SNP is tabling a No Confidence Motion for the King's Speech. THAT will be fun to watch.

FYI -
Tabling in the UK means the opposite of what it does in the US.

302 I love how the native Alaskans tell you about living off the land, the old ways, their culture blah, blah blah. Then they’re the first ones with hands out, making demands and taking every welfare program they can grab.
Self sufficient my ass. Only when that a convenient argument.
Posted by: Vengeance at May 13, 2026 03:11 PM (i7wqn)
They talk about a vibrant Native culture, and then you read the statistics on rape and incest in the villages, and the murders of Native women who just "disappear." And don't get me started on the theft of all the free shit like all the local schools and computers they sued to have in every village with more than one house.
Pretty damned vibrant.
But it's all whitey's fault, doncha know.

Nithya is Kaie Wilson from Seattle - absolute idiot, who will destroy the city. She's a fucking activist. She runs a homeless NGO.

I doubt she "runs" anything. She gets *paid* to "run" a homeless NGO, and does very little is my guess.

A problem is if you extend the Council Vote to a national election Reform does not have a majority. They lead, but would have to partner with the Tories.
And Restore showed a lot of strength, winning 10 of 10 with the candidates they put up. As they grow, they might cannibalize Restore votes.
We'll see.

Posted by: Bulg at May 13, 2026 03:09 PM (77rzZ)
The Permanent Fund. Over 30 years ago when I was stationed there it was about $900 annually, if memory serves. Not sure what it is now. I never drew it because I never changed my residency. Alaska was an optional Overseas Tour back then and I wanted the Overseas Ribbon and promotion points.
The Gulf War stop-loss fucked me for promotion to E5, which didn't come through until my last few months, so I'd have probably been better off with the cash.

tcn mentioned a lot of this. I think one big problem is the geography and climate, and, uh, the Earth's tilt. So that's three problems.
This is an isolated part of the world that has no road to its own stupidly-located capital, let alone to the continental US beyond. It relies on imports to a near-Polynesian degree. So does North Dakota (as you know from Laura Ingalls Wilder) but at least the Dakotas now have rail and road.
