Bernie Sanders: I have every right to own three homes. I earned that money by writing anti-capitalism screed-books.

Gay activists are angry that streetlamps in Northport will be used from May to September to honor fallen veterans, which doesn't allow "other communities" to hang their gay flags from them. Oh my, you are suffering like no other group has suffered throughout all of human history. #Courage.

I didn't write much about the MLB crushing dissident speech as regards the forced-speech in favor of "pride."

Josh Hawley made a serious threat against the league. The league enjoys a completely judge-fabricated exemption from the nation's antitrust law (the league serves as anti-competitive monopoly), an exemption no other league or corporation enjoys. (The NFL got a congressional exception, with limitations. Including no games on Saturday during college season, which is why you don't see Saturday NFL games until January.)

Hawley wants to look into whether that judge-manufactured exemption should be overturned, if MLB is going to use its monopoly power to compel the speech of workers who cannot go to a competitor league, due to their monopoly power.

The league's claim that it merely forbids "writing of any kind" on its uniforms does not survive a cursory review of the league's recent history. In 2020, MLB itself turned its uniforms and its fields into a billboard for political and social messages. It created jersey patches reading "Black Lives Matter" and "United for Change." It authorized "BLM" to be stenciled onto pitching mounds. And it suspended its own equipment rules so that players could display progressive political slogans on their cleats. The league went beyond tolerating speech--it designed speech, promoted speech, and shoehorned social and political messages into the game broadcast to millions of Americans. Yet when three players added a handful of characters citing the Book of Genesis to their caps, the league reached for its rulebook.
This does not appear to be an isolated incident. Your organization's recent action follows an undercover investigation which revealed an admission from a Washington Nationals executive that a Catholic player on the team was not included in promotional materials for the team because of his faith. That executive has since been fired, but not before the anti-Christian bigotry was exposed.
[...]
My concern is sharpened by the singular legal position that Major League Baseball occupies. Alone among America's professional sports leagues, baseball enjoys a sweeping, judicially manufactured exemption from the federal antitrust laws--a privilege the Senate Judiciary Committee has examined with bipartisan skepticism in recent years. A league that benefits from such an extraordinary dispensation owes the public a corresponding measure of accountability, and it invites the closest scrutiny when it appears to wield its market power to punish Americans for their beliefs. That exemption, in any event, has never been understood to shield the league from its legal obligation not to discriminate against its employees on the basis of religion.

The judge invented this unique exemption because, at that time, baseball was so hugely popular that it was considered sacrosanct, and no one wanted to pit the law against baseball, because baseball would win.

Baseball isn't so popular any longer. It's at best the second most popular sport and I think it's actually the third.

They better mind their P's and Q's.

Real Man and Arbiter of Masculinity James Talarico has one checking account, which is a joint account... with his mommy.

I don't want to brag but I've had my own account since I was 28.

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, 37, has a single checking account that holds up to $50,000--and he shares it with his mother, a frequent contributor to his political campaigns who pitched in to cover Talarico's moving expenses when he was 32, records show.
Talarico's personal financial disclosure lists a single Wells Fargo checking account with a balance between $15,000 and $50,000. Though Talarico is unmarried, the disclosure indicates that the account is owned jointly. A "filer comment" provides clarity: "The account is jointly held by the filer and the filer's mother." Talarico did not disclose any other checking accounts.
It's unclear exactly why Talarico--whose campaign did not respond to a request for comment--shares the account with his mother, but she appears to be helping him, not vice versa.
Tamara Talarico is in her early 60s and appears to be in good health. She marched in a "No Kings" protest in October 2025 and joined Talarico on the campaign trail in subsequent months, including for his appearance on the View in February. Tamara Talarico has donated more than $2,000 to Democrats since 2023, Federal Election Commission records show, including more than $450 to Talarico's Senate campaign. She is married to Talarico's adoptive father, Mark Talarico, who holds a degree in nuclear engineering from Texas A&M and worked for nearly 30 years--until his retirement in 2021--as a senior sales engineer for a Texas-based company that sells advanced laboratory instruments, according to his LinkedIn.
Talarico's parents contributed $5,000 each to his campaign for state representative in 2021, records show. The same year, Talarico reported an in-kind campaign contribution of $1,437.84 from his parents for "moving expenses." Talarico was 32 years old at the time.
Talarico joined the part-time Texas House of Representatives--which pays members an annual salary of $7,200--in 2018 after working as a sixth-grade teacher. He represents a portion of, and lives in, Texas's "priciest metropolis," Austin.
Talarico has supplemented the modest salary he earns as a state lawmaker with consulting income from the equity-focused education firm MAYA Consulting, which he joined in 2019 and which developed diversity, equity, and inclusion plans for public school districts in Texas during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, the Washington Free Beacon reported. It's unclear how much Talarico has earned from the firm, and, while Texas state lawmakers are required to file financial disclosures, they do not include annual income.

Your prototypical, archetypal Democrat "man."

A "woman" in Cardiff, Wales has been convicted for m—sturbating "her penis" in front of female nurses.

35 The MLB monopoly exemption should be seriously looked at anyhow.

It may have been a correct thing to do a century ago when baseball was America's Pastime, but those days are long past and there's no reason baseball can't face competition like any other professional sport.

If past NFL and NBA competitors are anything to go by, MLB has nothing to worry about anyhow, but it would allow for more teams in smaller cities, etc.

Nope. They were religious messages. Alongside compelled speech, it was compelled religious statement. Particularly this latest one.

While Pride celebrations are taking place across California this month, one county has voted to make June the “Traditional Nuclear Family” month while pointedly excluding LGBTQ+ families.

On Tuesday, the Fresno County Board of Supervisors voted 3 to 2 in favor of the resolution, which defines the nuclear family as “consisting of one husband, one wife,” along with children, as “God’s design.”

The resolution was introduced by Chairman of the Board Garry Bredefeld, who announced the plan on June 6, the same day as the Fresno Pride Parade.

Unless you can find an older version of the Kindle app, uninstall the one you have, and then turn off updates on the new install.

Regarding the books, he does make some money from the sales, 99% of which are purchases of the shitty book that nobody sane would buy, using, you guessed it, campaign funds again.

192 They arrested the Mahdi in the UK in April:

https://tinyurl.com/4bxf2u8r
(CBS News)

Some 500 British police officers conducted raids on facilities linked to the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL) group Wednesday morning, arresting ten people on suspicion of various offenses including modern slavery, forced marriage and sexual assault.

...

The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light is a religious movement based largely on messianic prophecy intertwined with conspiracy theories. It is associated with the Shiite branch of Islam but is considered heretical by most Muslims.

In 2015, the sect's Egyptian-American leader Abdullah Hashem claimed to be the Mahdi – an Islamic messianic figure comparable to the Second Coming of Christ. He has also claimed to be the true pope and the successor of Jesus Christ.

This is pretty much just a minor action to get the strait back to normal (convincing Indian tanker captains that they can go without US naval support) while providing Iran with the "opportunity" to sell some oil on the market again.

Which is going to be difficult considering what they've done to their wells and what we've done to their shadow tanker fleet.

And probably about trying to pick at internal tensions in Iran.

People assumed Trump was desperate for a deal, but I've never thought so. Especially after several weeks of oil and gas falling.

A comparison I saw made that makes sense is to a chess move, developing a minor pawn that doesn't do much while waiting for the opponent to do something else which would open up more avenues of attack.

227 Gay activists are angry that streetlamps in Northport will be used from May to September to honor fallen veterans, which doesn't allow "other communities" to hang their gay flags from them.

Easily solved. The other communities can move to the Middle East. Then there will be plenty of gay stuff hanging from streetlamps.

228 The street lamps in a few small towns around here have those wonderful veteran's flags. I think it's great, and it never even occurred to me to be angry that there were no flags for holocaust victims (or survivors).

But gays in America today have it worse than Jews during WWII, so I guess I understand.

241 It's not all about the midterms. Iran now has no navy, no air force, a hugely depleted missile and drone capability, a broken economy, runaway inflation and has now pissed off every regional country who was even mildly supportive of them before the war. They also no longer have a nuclear program. Anyone who says Iran came out of this stronger is delusional or lying for their own purposes.

Trump accomplished the goals he stated at the beginning of the war and they never changed. Invading Iran and doing a regime change was never one of those goals.

Some people keep inserting their goals for Iran for Trump's goals but that doesn't make it true.

I keep a bit of an eye on it. Russia continues their overall methodical strategy for surrounding and assaulting occupied towns that has worked for them over the years. Since drones are so omnipresent you can't just drive swarms of tanks on roads without them getting attacked, so its just quick rushes and lots of shelling to take the next post. Slow, but Russia has always played that type of war pretty well. Ukraine pretty much has lost the ability to push them back at any point for some time. But the nibbles work, and lulls the EU and press into forgetting about the war.

The only part I try to keep track of is the evolving drone tech and the evolving tactics, and that part is truly fascinating. Because of that war, drone tech has probably done 50 years of development in the last 4.

Even more improbably, it's starting to look like Russia is slowly losing, because the Ukes are adapting the new tactics more quickly. Saw recently that the Russian held Crimea is almost completely out of food and fuel. Uke drone attacks have kept all rail lines and traffic bridges shut down for cargo, and any Russian ships getting within 50 miles of Crimea are quickly sunk by anti-ship drones.

Afterward, we were driving across town and saw Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley walking along the street, so we pulled over and asked if they wanted a ride somewhere. They did, so we drove them downtown to the bars so they could hang out and grab some dinner.
