Had a bit of water damage in my kitchen. The wife noticed the latex paint blistering on the ceiling so I stabbed it and drained it. Clear, so it must have been the rain, right? After crawling through my attic and climbing up on the roof to discover pretty much nothing. Not even the smell of musty insulation. Okay fine the insurance guy does the same thing and just goes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. The claim was filed and paid overnight and we got a Mexican guy to come by and replace the drywall (I don’t do ceilings). Said the same thing, no idea where the water came from—but it wasn’t the first time that part of the ceiling was repaired. He showed me, and sure enough the piece he took out was a different thickness than the 1968 sheetrock I’ve come accustomed to in various projects around the house. I paid him in cash.
Freaking weird. ¡Enlaces!
I’m impressed with the business acumen needed to identify the market need for a product and determining if the arbitrage is worth the trip.

Not that I think this is on anyone’s bucket list here, but you might want to avoid Haiti.
Tucker interviewed Bolsonaro’s son over the weekend. Posting with the caveat the Putin interview left me wondering if Tucker is a CIA psyop. It is interesting nonetheless.
One of the judges mentioned in the interview visited Argentina, where team Milei took a moment to make fun of him.
Yes. If your country’s economy is heavily dependent on the government, cutting the government will result in impoverished government workers. I personally, support this.
If you are like me, you’ll like the song but tap out around the 5 min mark.
“left me wondering if Tucker is a CIA psyop”
I doubt it.
I doubt it as well. His Mike Benz interview was enough to put that to rest.
Has it occurred to you Benz may a psyop?
So we do still have free and fair elections, and the intelligence agencies are not trying to influence anything? I’m not seeing the angle.
Bingo, that’s what they want you to think.
What about Russell Brand – another psyop?
Yes. They can’t psyop you if you think everything is another psyop.
You’re a psyop. Errbody’s a psyop. *unplugs from Matrix
Now you’re just flexin’.
My mom’s eccentric dog (under 20 lb.) ate one once. Aside from the din, she was OK.

Psyops all the way down
Of course, if they went the other way they’d be psyups.

Psyops are like turtles. All the way down…
Maybe the psyop is to get you to think everything is a psyop.

“Already protests, opens new tab against Milei’s spending cuts are starting to build and strikes have become a regular occurrence.”
I wonder who is funding them.
Posting with the caveat the Putin interview left me wondering if Tucker is a CIA psyop.
Wut.
“If your country’s economy is heavily dependent on the government, cutting the government will result in impoverished government workers.”
The new guy didn’t get instant results, so we should go back to the original way of doing things, which also did not produce results.
I liked how the article referred to “left-leaning” Peronists.
Oh, the old way produced results, alright.
Sorry for early off-topic. This should trigger an impeachment trial tomorrow for treason.
Biden Admin is flying hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants into the country to bypass the border.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13155765/biden-illegal-migrant-flying-program-national-security-vulnerability.html
“This should trigger an impeachment trial tomorrow for treason. ”
Of course, it won’t.
That’s the Republican’s fault. If only they had passed a border bill preventing this from happening.
Unbelievable.
So were these commercial flights? USGov paid for seats? Or were they charters?
Don’t forget your tax return is due next month.
Used to be on the Ides of March, aptly.
“The program was part of Biden’s expansion of the CBP One app, which kicked off at the start of last year.
Migrants were able, under Biden’s expansion, to apply for asylum using the app from their home countries.
…
Aliens who cannot legally enter the U.S. use CBP One to apply for travel authorization and temporary humanitarian release from those airports.”
So technically legal? Maybe? They are just speeding up processing of paperwork. Legal or not, this definitely contradicts the claim that bringing in all these immigrants wasn’t on purpose. It’s hard to say they “accidentally” paid for all those plane tickets with our money. I wonder what fund this came from?
Reme
We are long past that point.
“In 2019, UC San Diego Health treated fewer than 60 patients who had fallen from border walls. That number jumped to nearly 450 two years later.
The Mexican consulate reported 29 Mexican nationals died in 2023 from such falls while trying to cross into the San Diego region, and another 120 were hurt.”
I was told everyone knows wall don’t work because Mexicans have ladders.
They were taken to the hospital in San Diego, not Mexico, so one could argue the wall didn’t work.
Normally I wear protection, but then I thought, “When am I gonna make it back to Haiti?”
And how is the AIDS treatment going?
It still hurts when I pee.
Stop using the electric fence as a urinal.
Don’t tell me what to do. I like to live dangerously.

But Argentines like Blanco won’t wait forever. Already protests, opens new tab against Milei’s spending cuts are starting to build and strikes have become a regular occurrence.
“We’re in need, sometimes I don’t have food or milk for the kids. Food prices are through the roof,” said Blanco, 43, who works collecting waste to recycle and receives a state subsidy.
“We will not be able to survive five or six months, as the government says. I don’t believe people will be able to survive that long.”
They’re throwing everything and the kitchen sink at Milei.
I bet his food taster is making bank.
What’s wrong with Port-au-Prince?
Jimmy “Barbecue” Chérizier reportedly got his nickname by burning down a shanty neighborhood and everyone in it.

Eleven people were hurt in a single day after trying to climb over a wall that separates Mexico and the United States and falling on the San Diego side, the latest such injuries since the wall was heightened to deter illegal crossings.
Ten people ranging in age from 18 to the mid-40s were taken to the hospital with mild to moderate injuries, according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. The other person injured wasn’t hospitalized.
Take them to a hospital on the Mexican side. They have free healthcare, right?
Umm…No. Remember when they were arguing before Obamacare patients that don’t have insurance or otherwise can’t pay cash will die in the parking lot? That’s a real thing in Mexico.
On the other hand, if you have money… I’ve never seen anywhere as many dental clinics and pharmacies as in Tijuana.
And?
And healthcare is not “free” in Mexico?
…or anywhere else.
I think Netherlands and Cuba showed what happens when you outright put doctors and other medical personnel into slavery.
“A Chinese couple working at Canada’s highest biosecurity lab were secretly sending information to Beijing and mailed live Ebola to China, a bombshell investigation has found.
In a 600-page report released this week by the Canadian intelligence service, the pair were also accused of allowing visitors into the lab who tried to leave carrying plastic bags of vials containing an unknown substance.
Dr Xiangguo Qiu and Dr Keding Cheng were found to have left visitors with ties to the Chinese government and military unsupervised at the facility.
The report also accused the pair of being in communication with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the facility at the center of the Covid lab-leak theory, without informing superiors.
The Canadian National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where they worked as researchers, is the only BSL4 lab in the country — and the only one to hold Ebola, as well as other deadly viruses like Marburg and Lassa fever.
It has now been ordered to tighten its security over the leak, with universities told their funding could be cut if they are found to be collaborating with foreign institutions — like those in China.
The Canadian Government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has fought for years to keep the investigation by the Canadian Security Intelligence Services (CSIS) a secret, according to media reports.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-13159847/Canadian-virus-lab-security-chinese-government.html
WTF, Canada?
They have an usual gift shop.
WTF is it with the goddamn Chinese? How do they just show up and get access?
Consider their culture. Extremely collectivist, totalitarian mindset in a country that is greatly over populated.
They see mass death of individuals in a very different way than we do…by we a mean non-malthusian we’s.
I count the Palestinians as having the most evil culture on the planet but China seems eager to take that trophy away from them.
China produces a lot of very qualified people and if you aren’t discriminating on national origin it will be very easy for them to secure jobs with access. I assume also that this is a long game and the people weren’t just given access immediately but earned it over time.
“if you aren’t discriminating on national origin”
Or particularly concerned about security. Because there seem to be a lot of security breaches involving Chinese nationals. Disproportionate? I couldn’t say. But if so, then by hiring one into a secure job you are taking a risk.
I’m going to guess that it’s illegal to secretly drop live ebola in the mail.
If you pack and label it correctly, probably not. We get hundreds of samples of infectious diseases shipped to my new company (although I couldn’t say exactly how). I joke that we could be bioweapons production facility in about a week.
My understanding is that the Chinese got the Covid cooties the same way…actually from us via Canada.
And yet that is somehow less disturbing than the lab they were running here in the San Joaquin Valley.
“Sen. Kyrsten Sinema announced Tuesday that she won’t seek re-election, ending the possibility of a compelling three-way battle for her hotly contested seat.
Sinema (I-Ariz.) bowing out is a big boost to the likely Democratic nominee, progressive Rep. Ruben Gallego, who most polls showed leading both Sinema and presumptive Republican nominee Kari Lake.
Sinema, 47, was elected to the Senate as a Democrat in 2018 before switching her affiliation to Independent in late 2022.”

“Compromise is a dirty word.”
We have compromised away our nation. Conservatives have conserved nothing, and progressives roll ahead on the backs of politicians who “compromised.” I don’t care if they fight. I welcome it. Maybe we will get a a break on the endless progressive policies from all the retirements. I doubt it though.
Compromise is 1/2 way between 2 bad ideas.
Combining the worst features from each.
Falling between stools? Stalling between fools?
Team Red compromise: We gave them everything they wanted except for one thing and got fuck all in return.
That actually gives Lake a minuscule chance to win now.
*Maricopa County has entered the chat*
Gallego is an absolute turd, but I’m not sure how reliable those polls are at the moment. Quite a few suggest Trump has a fair lead and I am seriously having a hard time trying to imagine what a Trump-Gallego split voter looks like.
It’s hard to say what will happen with the old Sinema voters who hate both Lake and Gallego.
But she went from no chance to question mark maybe.
“Despite modernizing our infrastructure, ensuring clean water, delivering good jobs in safer communities, Americans still choose to retreat to their partisan corners,” Sinema lamented in her exit video.
She’s given us everything.
Tell that to East Palestine, Flint, and Detroit/Chicago/New York/San Francisco/etc.
Shut your lying eyes and tow the lion!
I’m unaware of any infrastructure that’s been modernized in Tucson. Our water has the same problems as ever (native metals, plus Allah knows what from the air base), our crime is up, our economy is meh.
And we’re her constituents.
Note what she didn’t mention: the border. The Tucson zone is now the hotspot, since Texas tightened up. The local NGOs are in a panic and begging for money because their federal grants are going away next month. But I’m quite confident they’ll get plenty more once the Repubs finish giving the Dems everything they want in the spending bill. It’ll probably even be touted as “spending to increase border security”, when it’s the exact opposite.
The new guy didn’t get instant results, so we should go back to the original way of doing things, which also did not produce results.
Stick with the proven losers.
Look for the union label?
Órale amigo!
Dartmouth College Men’s Basketball team votes to unionize
The Dartmouth men’s basketball team voted to unionize Tuesday in an unprecedented step toward forming the first labor union for college athletes and another attack on the NCAA’s deteriorating amateur business model.
In an election supervised by the National Labor Relations Board in the school’s Human Resources offices, the players voted 13-2 to join Service Employees International Union Local 560, which already represents some Dartmouth workers. Every player on the roster participated.
Time to move their jobs to Mexico.
Off the team of they don’t pay their dues.
i don’t think I get it. Not only do they not get paid but the Ivy League doesn’t give direct athletic scholarships like other NCAA schools.
Idea for their new fight song.
SEIU represents workers – so what are these guys?
Last place team in the Ivy League. Of course these high performers want to form a union.
Bye….
I’ve been thinking about this. Are the basketball players true believers, or did the union actually promise some level of benefits for their dues?
Vasser girls. They were promised Vasser girls.
This should trigger an impeachment trial tomorrow for treason.
Just like funding the UN “refugee” agency and NGOs bringing hundreds of thousands of fake refugees to the southern border should trigger impeachment.
Should.
Impeachment? Shit, we can’t even get Congress to shut off the funding.
^This^
Impeachment is not going to happen. The country is going to catch fire.
I’m lukewarm on impeachment.

Leftist trashbag is racist? We have to ask?

Authoritarianism is on the rise here in the US in ways I never dreamt it would be. From forbidding attorneys from wrongthink to the perversion and weaponization of the CJ system overall, to countless govt abominations. Libertarian moment!
I wonder what those fucktards that thought throwing in with the left would affect more change think now. No doubt they are still going to the right cocktail parties and kissing the right asses…until they are thrown in the pit and shot.
I couldn’t agree more. When Melei started swinging his axe we all knew that impoverished X-govt workers would be an immediate but not permanent effect. We also all knew the leftish shitbags would seize on it to fan the flames of fear and panic.
The first sentence of the second paragraph is the perfect example of the bullshit factor. Quoting a poverty statistic from the start of the year. Approximately 30 days after Milei took office. How in the ever loving fuck can that conceivably be a result of his policies. What was it on 12/1/23? Or 1/1/23? No idea – but that’s modern reporting for ya.
While Port-au-Prince is a basket case, Royal Caribbean Cruises is still docking every day at their private resort in Labadee, on a (presumably well-guarded) peninsula far away. At this point, the violence seems localized.
BTW, take a gander at their newest cruise ship, the Icon of the Seas, moored next to an RCL Radiance-class ship from 2004.
The new one looks way too top heavy for any kind of rough seas.
All the new ones do it seems. “Discovery Princess” is currently docking locally for Mexico coast trips and that thing is ridiculous.
Make “The Poseidon Adventure” a pre-documentary!
I’m undoubtedly a racist for saying this, but I don’t think Haiti is capable of effective self rule.
Oh, it is, we just would not like it. It would simply devolve to gang rule, which, in time, would end up a constitutional republic.

They’re doing better than North Korea and have 1/3 the homicide rate of New Orleans. Low bar and all that. They also have about half the homicide rate of Chicago, where I used to live.
I suppose you could argue that New Orleans, Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, and St. Louis are all also incapable of self rule for similar reasons.
Speaking of, did OMWC survive his trip to New Orleans?
I guess we’ll find out this weekend. To him I say: godspeed, you mad, brave fool. In addition to being vegan, red beans and rice is the signature dish of The Big Easy.

A vote for Garvey is a vote for Schiff
If California Republicans truly do not care whether they’re represented by Schiff or Porter, then by all means, they should vote for Garvey and not blink. But the polling shows they hate Schiff much more, and they have a very real opportunity to deny him a Senate seat by sending Porter to the general election. The Berkeley poll shows that a Schiff vs. Porter race is deadlocked at 30% to 30%, with 40% of voters undecided.
It’s a pretty convincing argument, but I doubt Porter is any more likely to snatch that chair away from Schiff than Garvey is.
tl;dr- California is fucked.
Chinese spy discussion is upthread…
I really don’t see how anyone can vote for that turd.
Check out Dean’s link at the end of the morning links….they are beyond fucked.
The race isn’t really deadlocked. There are other democrats in it and when there is a run-off Schiff will easily win. No it doesn’t actually matter if Republicans turn out.
This time they’ve got him for sure!

Tech writing is easy. Read up on the basics and get started. You don’t necessarily have to have deep technical knowledge of the product. Usually you work off of release notes from developers.
My analysis of the EPL relegation fight with 11(12) games left:
Mathematically safe: Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal
Realistically safe: Aston Villa, Tottenham, Manchester United, West Ham United, Newcastle United, Brighton & Hove Albion, Wolverhampton
Safe, for now: Chelsea, Fulham, AFC Bournemouth, Crystal Palace
Danger Zone: Brentford, Everton, Nottingham Forest, Luton Town*
Toast: Burnley*, Sheffield United*
Officially relegated: None
*In relegation position, if season ended today.
Games of interest, this weekend:
Sheffield United @ Bournemouth
Burnley @ West Ham United
Luton Town @ Crystal Palace
Forest @ Brighton
Everton @ Man U
Brentford @ Arsenal
Everyone in Danger is on the road this weekend. Thats good for everyone in group 2 and 3.
“If Raven is still around a reply to yesterday: Why wouldnt City’s potential point deduction effect the relegation race if they were given the proportional 600 pt deduction?”
Hahaha. If City get ANY penalty (not holding my breath) I can’t see it being any more than 10 points.
But, *adjusts tin foil* if City don’t win the title, I could see the PL giving them a penalty that either takes them out of European places OR has them finish one point above the relegation zone. Then they could say, “look how tough we were.” This scenario has a slightly higher probability if City repeats the UCL.
I think Brentford might be in trouble. Their form is poor, and their run in includes games at Villa, Arsenal, Luton, and Everton.
Milestones in rape cuture
The Veterans Affairs secretary has reversed a department memo that aimed to ban VA displays of the iconic “V-J Day in Times Square” photograph of a Navy sailor kissing a strange woman on the streets of New York at the end of World War II.
Secretary Denis McDonough acted hours after a copy of a memo from a VA assistant undersecretary requesting the photo’s removal from all VA health facilities was shared on social media. The memo had said the photo “depicts a non-consensual act” and is inconsistent with the department’s sexual harassment policy.
McDonough on Tuesday tweeted out a copy of the image, which appeared in Life magazine, adding, “Let me be clear: This image is not banned from VA facilities — and we will keep it in VA facilities.”
Two people familiar with the memo confirmed that it was authentic and said McDonough had never approved it and rescinded it once informed that it had been sent out. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly.
——-
The photo was taken on Aug. 14, 1945, known as V-J Day, the day Japan surrendered to the United States, as people spilled into the New York City streets from restaurants, bars and movie theaters, celebrating the news. George Mendonsa spotted Greta Friedman, spun her around and planted a kiss. The two had never met.
Spontaneity is the enemy of the People.
Does Greta still have time, under NY law, to file a sexual assault charge? Hey, it took 80 years for her to realize that kiss was wrong and sailor George should be paying out $$$millions for the lip lock.
No standing.

But she can still vote D.
Michelle Obama is making it crystal clear — she’s not eyeing a return to the White House with a surprise presidential bid, according to her office.
“As former first Lady Michelle Obama has expressed several times over the years, she will not be running for president,” Crystal Carson, the director of communications for Obama’s office, said in a statement provided to ITK on Tuesday.
——-
In 2019, Obama said there was “zero chance” she would run for president.
“There are so many ways to improve this country and build a better world, and I keep doing plenty of them, from working with young people to helping families lead healthier lives,” Obama, who founded the voter registration and engagement organization When We All Vote in 2018, said at the time.
“But sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office will never be one of them. It’s just not for me,” she said.
SheThey can’t afford the pay cut.Uh-oh.
She’s a lock for the nom, then. The only interesting thing will be how they do it.
The more infuriating part of it all will be that she’ll win in a landslide.
The only ray of sunshine I could see is OMB actually demanding she prove she doesn’t have a dick.
How hard can it be to get her DNA?
Yup I’m gonna be one beer richer courtesy of Zwak. She will do it at the last possible minute, either at the convention or just after.
And no she will not stoop so low as to show Trump her dick.
He’s already seen Barack, so it wouldn’t be anything new.
When the neighbors side with a turkey over you…
Yeah we liked the turkey more than that jive turkey delivering the mail!
“The beloved turkey tragically died on Feb. 24 after allegedly being run over by a U.S. Postal Service worker”
The only tools the government has is coercion and force.
Cops get to kill dogs, and mail carriers only get to kill turkeys – what an injustice.
Some animals are more equal than others. Wonder when they will pass a law making kids pledge allegiance to the Rainbow flag?
Our local county banned all flags in public buildings other than the U.S., state, and MIA flags, so there would not be any arguments about this flag, but not that flag. Seems to be the best way to go. (They relented on the MIA flag since they figured nobody would complain about that.)
The resident did not see the moments before the postal worker attacked the turkey.

On inflation, Biden gets all the blame. That’s unreasonable, and reflects many people’s unwillingness to appreciate how markets work and prices are determined.
During the pandemic and early recovery, domestic and global supply chains broke down — recall shortages of computer chips and West Coast ports backing up. Ultimately, lockdowns in China curtailed imports of components and finished manufactures.
With more Americans working from home and many service establishments closed, consumers spent more heavily on some goods than services, stressing limited supplies.
Studies at the U.S. Federal Reserve indicate about half of the runup in prices could be attributed to supply constraints, which the Biden administration had little role in creating.
Seriously? Biden didn’t play a starring role in driving up fuel costs and locking down the economy?
To be fair, the economy was locked down during Trump’s term, but that was mostly driven by Dem governors and Biden probably would have been no different.
All that said, if what they are saying in the article were true, prices should have come down, and they obviously haven’t.
No one remembers a decade of Quantitative Easing? The real mystery is where the hyperinflation went.
I always assumed better ways of working which would have produced deflation cancelled it out.
Friedman’s quantitative theory of money, which assumes a constant velocity of dollars in circulation is just as dead as he is.
Well, yeah that is just a bad assumption.
‘out half of the runup in prices could be attributed to supply constraints, ‘
what about the other half?
