Everyone loves Memorial Day. We commemorate the sacrifice of multitudes of military, sent to their deaths by lying scum politicians. We celebrate their ultimate sacrifices with hot dogs and hamburgers- “Uncle Paul was killed by the North Vietnamese Army in Quang Tri. Pass the ketchup!”
And everyone loves birthdays, and today’s include a guy who had two wishes and got them both; a guy who was more Catholic than the Pope; a historian who didn’t like (((us))) very much; a guy who proved that comedians don’t have to actually be funny; the guy who beat Hillary; a president who showed us all how brainy he was; a guy who proved that being consistently wrong pays well; a guy whose fame and fortune came from driving around in circles; a guy who definitely needed more range time; and a woman whose Wikipedia photo looks disturbingly like Pocahontas.
Link link link, that’s what’s gonna happen here.
“What is she doing here?” That’s actually a great question.

Well, that’s easy now.
“The US is at an increased risk of domestic terror attacks by rightwing “lone wolf” actors, experts have warned, as inflammatory Republican rhetoric around a variety of issues seems likely to continue ahead of the 2024 election.”
Good.
“According to the data, 90% of the cases of US terrorists are classed as domestic.”
If it’s domestic, it’s not terrorism. It’s just sparkling violence.
If only…
“Susan Corke, intelligence project Director at the Southern Poverty Law Center, said the far right has been “increasingly mobilized since the beginning of the Trump era”.
“Currently, the level of mobilization, coordination and sustained focus of the far right’s anti-LGBTQ+, particularly anti-trans, [prejudice] is much worse.
“The past year saw unprecedented violence against transgender and gender-nonconforming people, and the most frequent victims were women of color, especially black transgender women,” Corke said.”
But, of course.
She hit all the right words.
“Bingo!”
“The past year saw unprecedented violence against transgender and gender-nonconforming people, and the most frequent victims were women of color, especially black transgender women,”
Citation needed.
Actually, I’ve seen referenced stats which are consistent with that claim.
BUT…. (and there’s always one of those)…
…the actual numbers were ridiculously minuscule, like 35 nationwide, of which something like 30 were big city street-level prostitutes.
Yeah, a “50% increase in $metric” doesn’t tell me much unless I know the baseline. Lying with statistics is a well-worn tactic.
Plus when it comes to this sort of thing, it’s usually measuring an increase in false claims.
I assume it’s like black on black violence, which is the most prevalent violence.
It would almost be fun to dig through the archives to find how much they touted the same threat before.
How come it seems that the vast majority of these incidents are not right wing?
LOL. There is hope for Wikipedia.
“ Paul Ralph Ehrlich (born May 29, 1932) is an American biologist best known for his pessimistic—and wildly inaccurate[dubious – discuss][2][3][4][5][6][7]—predictions and warnings about the consequences of population growth and limited resources.[8][9]”
“ Ehrlich became well known for the controversial 1968 book The Population Bomb which he co-authored with his wife Anne H. Ehrlich, in which they famously—and erroneously—stated that “[i]n the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.”[10][11]”

Grosspatzer, oh Grosspatzer,
How many years have gone by?
Your age is like a mystery,
Hidden behind a veil of time.
Some say you’re ancient as the stars,
That you’ve witnessed history unfold.
Others claim you’re just a young soul,
Barely past being a mere tadpole.
But I wonder, old Grosspatzer,
What tales do you hold within?
Of battles fought and loves lost,
Of triumphs and tragedies akin.
Do you remember when the world was young,
And life was full of endless possibilities?
Or does your memory falter and fade,
Lost in the mists of forgotten memories?
Yet still you stand, old Grosspatzer,
A testament to the passage of time.
May your wisdom continue to guide us,
As we journey through this life sublime.

“Feinstein expressed confusion over Kamala Harris presiding over Senate: report”

Relevant to Kamala Harris
LOL
According to the new report, Feinstein expressed confusion to her colleagues, when she saw Harris presiding over the chamber, in one of many tiebreaking votes the vice president has had to cast.
See, Harris wasn’t on her knees sucking cock so that’s what confused Feinstein.

“The number of attacks by adherents to rightwing ideology has soared since 2016, as Republican lies about election interference, and escalating rhetoric from the right about minority groups, have served to “provide mechanisms” for individuals to become radicalized, an analyst said.”
Justification for suppression of wrongthink. Human beings do not have agency, they merely respond to external stimuli.
Interestingly leftists/Democrats never accepted the result of the 2016 presidential election. Likewise for 2000 and 2004. It was before my lifetime but I’d guess they didn’t accept Reagan or Bush senior either.
According to the data, 90% of the cases of US terrorists are classed as domestic. Of the domestic extremists, 95% are far-right, Jensen said: white supremacists, Proud Boys, anti-immigrant groups and anti-government groups.
There has been a worrying increase in the number of attacks. Prior to 2016, Jensen and his team logged about 150 individuals a year who were “committing crimes inspired by extremist ideology”.
Since 2016, the number of people committing such crimes has jumped to about 300-350 cases a year, Jensen said – not including a huge spike in 2021 as a result of the January 6 insurrection.
Motivated by by Trump’s theft of Hillary’s Presidency, no doubt
95% are far-right, Jensen said: white supremacists, Proud Boys, anti-immigrant groups and anti-government groups.
Stated without evidence.
It’s the only thing they ever look for, so yeah, it is the overwhelming majority.
“When attacks by white supremacists do happen, “they often get parsed in a way that minimizes them,” he said. White supremacist violence is frequently recorded under the category of gang violence, rather than domestic terrorism, while attacks conducted by individuals who have far-right beliefs are frequently classified as hate crimes – outside of the domestic terrorism umbrella.”
Ah, I get it. The FBI needs to revamp their classification system. They are not properly assigning the “domestic terrorist” label to every random nut job with an account on
glibertariansZero Hedge. The SPLC can help with this.Individuals rather than organized groups more likely to commit extremist crimes as inflammatory Republican rhetoric escalates
Except all the high profile violence I can think of over the past several years has been committed by people arguably incited by leftist/Democratic Party rhetoric.
“Before the internet and before social media, how an individual was likely to radicalize is that it was going to be through a face-to-face relationship that they had in the physical world,” Jensen said.
“So they had a cousin that was involved in a skinhead gang and they recruited them, or there was a group active in their neighborhood and they saw a flyer and took an interest in it.
“It was a much more labor-intensive process to get people involved.”
I wonder why he doesn’t mention jail.

Plans for supermarket price cap on basic food
for fuck sakes wordpress
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-65736944
I have to admit I don’t get the deal with the british conservative party. They seem to be even more devoid of economic literacy than most other so called right parties in other countries, they are woke as shit, and still the british left calls them fascists. What is the gameplan here?
RTE in Ireland tried to put the blame for high food prices on the supermarkets, but that apparently didn’t work, because I’ve heard several interviews now in which they’re hectoring the farmers about the high prices.
Note how the title of the piece puts “dishonesty” in sneer quotes.
The right in Britain has the same problem as the right in the US; the “leaders” all came from the same education system as the left, and do not have any idea of what the common man really wants. And It might even be worse, as it is a parliamentary system, so, zero chance of someone coming in to shake up the system.
Rhodes Scholarship: The matriculation system for the British worldview since 1902.
At the same time, the threat of rightwing terrorism has been exacerbated by the normalizing of political violence, or violent rhetoric, by elected officials and media personalities. Prominent figures can provide a gateway for people to commit violence when they demonize immigrants or the LGBTQ+ community, or indulge conspiracies like the great replacement theory, Jensen said.
Like when prominent Democrats and media personalities trivialize violence and destruction carried out during racially motivated “protests”?

In reality, Brandon and the Dems got everything they want and the Rs caved. And we are one step closer to complete insolvency and worthless currency.
The bellwether issue was the new funding for the IRS in the last spending blowout – the money for the 87,000 new agents, etc.
That was cut by 2%. All the COVID emergency spending is now locked in for perpetuity. What a colossal failure by McCarthy and the Repubs. For a bonus, this deal takes spending off the table as a live political issue through next year’s election.
That’s the beauty – there are those who would argue they didn’t. Perspective, it’s what makes us human!
I don’t think that ‘caved’ is exactly the right word. It implies that there was any disagreement on the part of the GOP in the first place.

And here in Oberlin East, people are shocked and appalled when I tell them I favor more immigrants coming here.

“The FBI doesn’t know how many people white supremacists killed last year in the United States. They don’t collect that information,” German said.
When attacks by white supremacists do happen, “they often get parsed in a way that minimizes them,” he said. White supremacist violence is frequently recorded under the category of gang violence, rather than domestic terrorism, while attacks conducted by individuals who have far-right beliefs are frequently classified as hate crimes – outside of the domestic terrorism umbrella.
“You would think that if the FBI and the justice department had a real interest in significantly suppressing this type of crime, they would at least count them,” German said.
If you accurately describe ordinary street crime as “something other than terrorism,” then we can’t scaremonger the public into believing there’s a white supremacist UltraMAGA terrorist behind every tree!
You would think that if the FBI and the justice department had a real interest
Hell, they are manufacturing it as much and as fast as they can. You’d think the left would have some pity on overworked bureaucrats.

Gov. Greg Abbott is poised to sign a bill that would ban trans athletes from playing in college sports on the team that aligns with their gender identity, the HuffPost reported.
If Abbott signs the bill into law, student athletes on teams sponsored or authorized by public colleges will only be allowed to play on teams that match the gender they were assigned at birth.
The bill passed in the state legislature of Friday and advocates have pushed back against it.
“S.B. 15 is yet another invasive, impractical measure mandated by the Texas legislature to ‘fix’ a problem that does not exist,” Melodía Gutiérrez, Texas director for the Human Rights Campaign said, according to the Texas Tribune. “Every student deserves the same chances to engage in sportsmanship, self-discipline, and teamwork, and to build a sense of belonging with their peers. We should not discriminate against or ban any student from playing because they’re transgender.”

I’d rather watch actual racing after a red flag than watch the laps tick down while everybody drives the speed limit for 15-20 minutes.
The first two, sure. The last one- with two laps to go, they should have just kept running under yellow while they tried to clear the track. That’s just how it works out sometimes. Whoever was in front when the yellow came out (Ericsson, Newgarden, Scott fucking Dixon or that Rahal stiff, it doesn’t matter… ) takes the win.
The last one, you can argue either way, I guess. Should a red flag that you would otherwise use be withheld because there aren’t many laps left? Hard for me to get too worked up, but I’d still rather watch a restart and a shootout for two laps. I kind of like the NASCAR overtime rule, which Indy pretty much emulated yesterday.

She called it an “unethical medical experiment” on newborns, reports The Telegraph.
Sussex believes that she was targeted by Jennifer Buckley, a trans-identified male Australian paramedic who breastfed his wife’s newborn….
Sussex had posted about Buckley’s adventures in breastfeeding via an article praising the practice and the couple in Parenting Queer, written by Buckley. That article has since been removed from Parenting Queer’s website. In it, however, Buckley wrote “I would like to share my story of fertility and how I was able to breastfeed, although brief, potentially stopped our baby from becoming very sick. I want to share my journey of breast feeding and the birth of our child.””

Sorry but your baby will be sick with you two as parents

Deep fake?

SNAP benefits are available for Americans whose income is less than 130% of the federal poverty line, or about $1,500 a month for a one person household, or $2,000 for a two-person household in many areas.
Before temporary increases during the COVID pandemic that have since been reversed, these benefits averaged about $121 per person per month, or about $4.00 per person per day, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities found.
That’s like a hamburger a day. I would be fascinated to know how much it costs to make that magic happen.
Inconceivable!
If lawmakers fail to pass the tentative agreement, and they don’t raise the country’s debt limit by early June, the government may confront an unprecedented challenge: determining which bills to prioritize for payment as the Treasury Department grapples with insufficient funds.
If the United States doesn’t raise the debt ceiling in time, the Treasury may have to decide whether to make interest payments to its debtholders or to pay its non-debt obligations, such as Social Security, veterans’ benefits, unemployment insurance, food stamps, and running government organizations like the military and the US Centers for Disease Control.
Everything is Priority One.
“an unprecedented challenge: determining which bills to prioritize for payment”
A challenge nearly every household and business in the world manages to handle every day. But it’s beyond the capabilities of our ruling class.
If America’s credit rating were downgraded, that could raise borrowing costs for millions of Americans, sending mortgage, personal loan and credit card rates higher. It could make business’ borrowing costs rise and lead to layoffs – and ultimately a recession.
What about the government’s credit card payments? That’s what really terrifies the Inner Party.
Well, the government’s credit rating has been downgraded before, in 2011. What happened then?
The central banks started coordinating policy.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, however, has not said what the Treasury Department would do if the country hits the so-called X-date, when the government can no longer meet all its obligations. In March, she called prioritizing payments “effectively a default by just another name.”
Nobody move, or the nigger gets it.

I’m equally appalled at this
I got my kid a onesie that said “I Tore Mommy A New One”.
She didnt think it was funny.
I know that Roku is only free because of ads, and all of us are used to watching TV with ads, but the breaks make sense and they aren’t too onerous. The ads on Roku (and YouTube, for that matter) are so numerous, they render the show unwatchable.
I also know this is frivolous in the face of all that’s going on in the world and being bandied about here, but I’m on the verge of being black-pilled and I’d like to complain about frivolous things.
I don’t watch anything with ads except for live sports, or maybe the weather channel when there’s a hurricane nearby. I even skipped the Bosch sequel, after watching the entire original series, because Amazon put it on ad-supported Freevee. No thanks.
To get rid of ads on YouTube I subscribe to the family version of Premium, which is nice because I can share it with my kids, and it includes ad-free YT music, which is like Spotify.

True. Some channels (or whatever they choose to call themselves) are much worse than others. There have been times I have just bailed out of a show because of the commercials.

The Fed propped up the Treasury market.
