Know the Op: The Entire Machinery of the Left Wing, Including Me-Again Kelly, Is All-In on Thomas Massie
Gee what could have these hard-left communists so jazzed about a "conservative libertarian," I wonder?
The New York Times now loves Thomas Massie, SuperConservative.
Insurrection BarbieThe article was written by Massie's New Bestie, leftwing California Democrat Ro Khanna, the man Massie's been traveling the country with spreading Epstein slop-lies.
@DefiyantlyFree The glowing NYT article hailing Massie as a Republican hero. lol. I said this months ago, the left and to counterfeit right love each other.
Thomas Massie is a man of character. He is the type of Congressman our founders envisioned. I hope his constituents will see the courage, independence and sincere love of country he brings to the job. https://t.co/pT1zrYd4be via @NYTOpinion
— Ro Khanna (@RoKhanna) May 14, 2026
Massie supporters don’t understand this, but the fact that @AnaKasparian wants Massie to win is part of a trend in support for Massie that Republican voters in Massie’s district can sense and are alarmed by. https://t.co/XfmIKXlfsf

Cynical Publius#Accurate.
@CynicalPublius Massie is not a conservative. He does NOTHING to support or advance conservatism. He is a toxic narcissist who revels in whatever attention he can create for himself. He does not sponsor bills that anyone else supports. He purposely, deliberately and repeatedly undermines the MAGA agenda you, me and every other Trump voter supports. He allies himself with Ro Khanna, a literal Marxist. Why? Ego. He is a snake oil salesman who pretends to support conservatism while his every action serves only to support the Democrat agenda. He is a snake oil salesman who cons the rubes. And you are a rube. Scram, rube.

He knows the names of 20 powerful pedophiles aligned with Epstein and refuses to say their names on the House floor like he promised.
All Massie is interested in doing is protecting the rest of the Epstein power structure.
I couldn't vote for Massie because of his pro-pedophile moves.

"In the new poll, Quantus Insights showed Gallrein moving ahead of Massie, 53% to 45% — an eight-point margin. The same pollster previously showed Massie ahead 47% to 38%.
The recent survey was conducted on May 11 and 12 among 908 likely GOP primary voters, with a reported weighted margin of error of 3.3%.
Compared with the initial poll, Gallrein has moved to a +8 in May, up from Massie’s +9 in April, a net swing of nearly 17 points toward Gallrein since last month."

I think politicians generally had much more favorable press treatment in decades past. They had a lot of “cover” for their indiscretions. Everyone knew JFK was a poonhound, but it was (mostly) kept out of the press. But Hoover, longtime Director of the F.B.I., had a dossier quite thick and voluminous. Consequently he was unfirable, by JFK, and anyone else for that matter.
Marilyn Monroe’s death, the crime scene was described as among the worst fake suicides the police detective had ever seen. Judith Exner, etc etc.
They were very powerful then, as now, but the dynamic has changed in many different ways. They pulled out all the stops to get rid of Nixon, after he won the largest Electoral College and Popular vote in history. He didn’t win because of his good looks and charming personality.

As far as primaries go, almost no one is all that loyal to their local congressmen. I would wager most of the population doesn't even know who that is.
But the people that vote in primaries know who Trump is and can see Massie is just a turd in the punch bowl.

From "The Hill"
Texas Children’s Hospital will create the nation’s first “detransition clinic,” fire five physicians and pay the state $10 million under an unusual settlement announced Friday by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R).
Sounds like the five pro-trans docs were coding gender dysphoria fraudulently (e.g. "precocious puberty" or suchlike, and Paxton is using that as leverage to twist some arms. Good. I hope it takes hold and propagates to other children's hospitals.

Are we pretending Massie Bad™ now because of decent dems supporting him? Because id take a republican endorsed by Ro Kanna over any "republican" endorsed by Trump or Miss Lindsey Graham
We need more like Thomas Massie types in Congress. He has the balls to go against the grain. Get back to fiscal conservatism.
"Rep. Thomas Massie claims three billionaires are funding a 6 million dollars super PAC campaign against him for opposing foreign aid, particularly to Israel, and voting against wars." Bummer, maybe he shouldnt have helped give the wealthy all this power. Supporting Citizens United, you reap what you sow; of course now that it's working against him he's all for reform

If he had spent the weeks leading up to the final vote actively working to be part of the drafting process, selling his vote and the mysterious 10 other GOPers he said he had lined up to block the bill to demand cuts to specific programs, I would have been on his side.
Instead, he waited until the last minute and complained that it didn't fix the debt and spent too much money on deportations.
He's, at best, a troll in Congress. That's cheap and far from a necessity.

But he ended up drunk (again) though plowed his limousine into the Reflecting Pool, with a stash of hookers in the back. He got caught.
Edward M. Kennedy (D) Mass. didn’t even have a valid driver license when Mary Jo suffocated in the back of his Cadillac. The whole thing was an atrocity, but he was never punished in any way to speak of.
It’s weird to think Joseph Kennedy Sr. was still alive through all that. He saw Joe Jr. Killed in WWII, JFK and RFK murdered in the 60s and ole Ted discredited to cap off 1969. Sandwiched between the Moon Landing, Woodstock, and Charlie Manson’s “Family” rituals.

"I'll only vote for this if you cut this $10 billion program." That's useful.
"I have been removed from this process completely and won't vote for it until you tear up the work and achieve my pipedreams," is not.

Prediction markets have been worthless in tracking races. They only tend to become accurate when actual voting results become known.
They are thinly traded, prone to vast swings from any new information, and susceptible to being bought. They are inferior to polling which is pretty crappy anyway.
Frankly we would be better off banning such betting markets as like Venezuela, an Army Sgt used his inside information to bet on Maduro being captured and got caught after.
"A U.S. Army Special Forces master sergeant, Gannon Ken Van Dyke, has been charged with using classified information to profit from bets on the prediction market Polymarket regarding the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro."

Go look at how Fetterman votes. Then look at what he states. They are largely two different things.
You can argue, rather factually and forcefully some of the things he has voted for are the worst parts of the Democrats agenda. He actually believes in many of the same things he criticizes some in his party for- it’s just a matter of degrees and methods.
Now go back and look at all the people who have embraced him, even saying he should join Republicans.
Really?

You could fill books with what left leaning pundits don't know.
Here is a fun one to ask lefties...where do social welfare policies like government healthcare come from originally?
You might get an answer of "some European social Democracy" or "The USSR" or even "Marx"
But the real answer is...Otto Von Bismark of Imperial Germany. He was explicitly buying the support of the "working class" to head off calls for political reform. And the German aristocrats had no problem taxing businesses to bribe the hoi polloi with essentially their own money....

I am aware and familiar with "stochastic" being used in the context of statistics. However,
stochastic /stō-kăs′tĭk/
adjective
1. Of, relating to, or characterized by conjecture; conjectural.
2. Involving or containing a random variable or process.
"Stochastic terrorism" is a faux term of the sort beloved by academic frauds who sport Smart Girl Glasses and huff one anothers' farts in lecture halls and conferences held in tony locations to which they travelled on the taxpayers' dollars.

The few that I have bothered to track show really bad large swings which is not how the electorate processes information. So fake volatility and not that useful in prediction as a derivation of a derivation. E.g. the betting market is derivative of polling and news coverage (at best or donors are worst), which is derivative of the real absolute but unknown voter preferences.
So actual votes are better information than polling/news which is better information than betting markets.

Naive assumptions of outcomes like that often perform better than expert prognostications. Our media and experts are today what shamans would have been to our primitive societies.
Back when I did empirical work, you always used a naive assumption to test whether your 'predictions' improved on results of the naive assumption or not.
No or little improvement shown from a predictive model then essentially all the bloviating emissions derived from your model is descriptive, not predictive. All sorts of logical fallacies then beloved by political and media commentariats are then created. The universe laughs at the feeble predictions of mankind.

Greek archers would use a stick as a target.
So, I guess the idea is that it's not easy to hit, so you probably miss it more than hit it. It's "anybody's guess", I guess.

When you devise a strategy you have to account for the likelihood that some of your components will miss their target.
Thus a "stochastic strategy" (like "terrorism") probably indicates a strategy that accounts for misses.
Posted by: Axeman at May 15, 2026 02:13 PM (Fi81e)
1. The Left brought it into the conversation by constantly accusing the Right of inciting stochastic terrorism. A notable case was with Palin and her "target" map.
2. But remember, the Left always accuses you of what they are doing. This is always on their minds because this is one of their many weapons. They understand that to move a culture you don't move each individual, you create an environment where those on the edge flip.
The specifically do this to encourage people to do unacceptable things, like terrorism. To inflame the crowd until windows get broken. That is their strategy all the way back to the 60s, and probably the Froggy revolution, and Bolshies before that.

Too late to register. Part of the issue is that new voters have to register about 4 weeks before an election. Massie did not become a cause celebre for Dems until now.
It will be down to whichever political team can get turnout now and greater GOP turnout at this point is likely to be fatal to Massie. That is why he is going so hard negatively on Gallrein. You do that to depress turnout by raising Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) for less active voters to get them to stay home.
This situation is usually the political death of incumbents because frankly, most do not deserve reelection in the first place, including Massie.

Exactly. As I said they accused Tucker of it, because Tucker was warning about the very real, evident, trend of "replacement theory". But when some shooter reacted to the same thing, it was supposedly Tucker, with his "'racist' replacement theory" which "caused the violence".
They don't say the same thing about announcing Trump as an "existential threat"--which arguably is quite a bit more than the sap who the elites imported to replace you.

That is not to say that they fail to strut around at election time bleating about all the activities that they undertook on behalf of YOU, the little voters. But activities are not accomplishments and, were we to push them on what were their accomplishments, they'd stammer and stutter themselves to death up there on the stage.

It's kind of the opposite.
In chemistry, things react until the reach the stochastic state, at which point the reaction goes both ways (this is an oversimplification.)
So the stochastic state gets some on one direction, and some in the other. At random. It is like raising the temperature knowing that some molecules will be on the "edge" and will randomly pop off.
You don't know which molecules (bespoke) but you know some will because conditions are right.
This applies to terrorism from the left, because by calling Trump Hitler enough times, several people got to thinking it would be a good idea to take him out.

I am no expert by any means but this whole thing seems so contradictory to actual good medicine and good science that it's hard to believe this is allowed anywhere as within the standard of care. The "studies" they try to cite in support of this are sketchy at best, with tiny sample sized and Texas sharpshooter type reasoning. Researchers are deliberately blocked from gathering data to conduct longitudinal studies on patients who got chopped, and to the extent we do have any longitudinal studies, they apparently show when read in the most favorable light, the results are at best neutral, i.e. had no significant measurable ameliorative effect. Even the Euros and the Scandis who the left worship so much have shut this shit down as far as kids go. It's not medicine or science, it's a butcher cult.

You would be correct. Especially in closed primaries, the primaries have more party activists that are more leftist in Democrat and more to the right in GOP. There is a reason that Massie is running ads claiming he is a big Trump supporter in KY while he poses for the NYT's crowd.
And from what I've garnered, he is not liked nor influential in Congress doing minimal work and notably ran on term limits (3 to be exact) but blew past that to be trying for his 8th term.

Fucking evil. Setting aside n bomb or no, you provoked a fight and then murdered a man. With forethought. Not like in the heat of the moment you feared for your life, you planned for it to go that way.
Evil retard.

Utah with Cox involved rules cheating to get on the ballot, not party activists. That same convention style ended Robert Bennett so Mike Lee got elected. South Carolina has open primaries where Democrats openly go and vote in the GOP primary if mobilized. Which is true in a number of states (mostly Southern) if the Democrats have no big statewide primary contests. Indiana is mixed. Pence ran as a conservative for years and was part of the 2010 sweep with Ryan. It is easiest for these liberal GOPe types to slip under the radar when there is a big wave in politics. Same for the Democrats, some people with a conscience and morals can get swept into office.

It gets old in a hurry.

I have proposed that the mere notion of a child expressing feeling that they are a different sex than their biology indicates is first of all a social construct, and secondly, so frankly bizarre to normal pediatricians that they eagerly defer to experts, and thus absolve themselves oof any culpability. They wash their hands of it. And unfortunately for the children, the experts are damaged people in their own right, in the mode of Admiral Doctor Richard Levine.

Stochastic means "random nondeterministic" and they're a pain in the ass to simulate on computers.
I think there exist computer chips that use quantum fluctuations in their own guts to generate truly stochastic numbers. "Chip-based Quantum Random Number Generators".

Kamala Harris is now calling for Democrats to hold a "No Bad Idea Brainstorm" where they discuss:
Annointing a DEI hire as the party's Presidential nominee with that person having successfully won even one primary election?
I heard on Adam Carolla yesterday that Karen Bass was the other contender to be Slow Joe's "Woe Man of Color" Vice-Presidential candidate in 2020. What a bullet she would have been.

Heroq is right, for the states he mentions. When states don't close their primaries, any ratfucker can switch parties and load up the count for the RINO. This happened in Mississippi when Thad Cochran won because he appealed to Democrats to cross over for him.
So, you're out of line and you owe Heroq an apology.

And by "nondeterministic" they simply mean not-decidably deterministic.
Because complete determinism is still a useful model.

I generally find it suspect that they're so insistent about children while also generally pushing away adults (unless they're whale-level wealthy) because it's "too late" for them.
You'd think they'd at least try to hide the PDF-ism of it all. But no.

=========
For most research purposes, the random number generators are fine because measurement error of other variables affects the results more.
In security matters though, truly random numbers are critical for matters like encryption as any hint of non randomness can be used to crack it.
I would use Monte Carlo simulations in small samples to bootstrap standard error predictions which affects variable significance but rarely beyond that.
Haven't really directly used actual random number generators since college programming classes.
