The NBA season finally ended. The US limped into the Gold Cup knockouts with an uninspired win over Haiti. LSU won the CWS after a crazy second game where an ump decided to make it about himself. The Astros are still red hot. And I guess that’s all I’ve got for sports today.
Abbott sinks pot ban at the buzzer. A good decision. I just don’t understand why he waited until the last minute.
The circus is coming back to town. I wonder how many politicians will rush to his side this time.
I hope this passes quickly. And I wish they’d add federal firearm reciprocity as an amendment to it.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Go ahead and vote for that idiot. Just don’t come crawling to the feds for help when your city goes tits up.
What an odd thing to say. But I shouldn’t be surprised, considering the source.
So much for property rights. And this is on top of the state all but refusing to let anybody rebuild after the fires a couple years ago. I honestly can’t believe they haven’t run every single person out of elected office there.
What did you expect? It’s a Waffle House. And it’s Atlanta to boot.
“We can’t let Iran-Israel get all the attention.” I’m still kind of surprised this hasn’t kicked off yet.
This story was made for the links. It’s the wurst one I’ve ever put in here.
That’s a big ass lease. The development of it will be of major interest in the energy sector.
GIRL POWER! But, you know, for real. What a great sound. Enjoy them.
And enjoy this lovely, hot Monday, dear friends.
Pass a law that auto-exonerates anyone who runs over a traffic-blocking protester.
Maybe offer bounties, as well.
They are all enemy agents, anyway.
I hear that in FL, you will be in the right if you run over protesters trying to block you. That law needs to go national.
I was hoping for Ringling Brothers.
Isn’t he being charged with like 50 crimes related to human trafficking?
In a couple weeks you get No Kings 2: The Gratest Show on Earth
“Republicans to seek federally criminalizing blocking traffic”
While I certainly sympathize, this hardly seems to be a federal matter. Unless you’re talking an interstate highway this should be left to the state and locality in question.
If the road was built/maintained with federal funds, doesn’t that make it federal jurisdiction?
/devil’s advocate.
If they connect to an interstate highway, they have a fuckton more justification to be considered “Interstate Commerce” than Wickard’s garden did.
That’s just another thing the feds shouldn’t be doing… :/
I get that we’ll never get the genie back in the bottle, I just don’t think we need to help or justify him expanding his reach either.
Are there any roads that don’t connect to an interstate?
To avoid being process-punished, not only does the law need to be clear that running over someone intentionally blocking the road is not a crime, any prosecutor who brings such a crime will be themselves prosecuted.
Should be left to the states, yes.
@RC – Yes, but they’re difficult to get to.
The right of free passage has been recognized as a fundamental right by the courts. When a state refuses to ensure it, it becomes a federal issue.
This.
Preventing one’s freedom of movement is technically kidnapping.
Here we have a carjacker law. Trap someone in their car and prevent their escaping and you very well might get shot here in Louisiana.
Maybe if it was a repeated pattern of behavior targeting certain individuals.
I have a hard time accepting that the feds should have jurisdiction on every street corner from the get go.
Just the street corners of abortion clinics?
It effects with interstate commerce …

From dedthred:
UnCiv: I will be shooting in OH this weekend, not at KF&G. However, Rich Chartrand is aware of last time and will be keeping you under his wing. I have had a discussion with the shooters involved and have clarified the purpose of our game v. IDPA/USPSA, and they clarified back that they were not interested in participating in that spirit so we’ve carved them off into their own “I only shoot I do not teach” squad. I do wish that those who are unwilling to teach were also unwilling to give unsolicited advice.
I have not yet put a face to that name. (It takes a few times meeting somebody and/or a very small group to make the association)
If I continue to have Shadow difficulties, I’ll just bring the 1911 again. But I think I’ve got it sorted.
Good luck in Ohio.
Thanks! Relatedly, I have found one of the grip sets I’m letting you borrow, plus another one that is sub-optimal for this kind of competition but would let you try the veloce texture.
RE: Mamdani
He’s a total left, pandering to the free shit crowd. You can stick a fork in NYC if he gets in. Of course, Cuomo is a douche, so not exactly great choices.
Because he will make things much worse, I bet he will end up elected. Until it gets so bad the place is wrecked, this won’t change.
They can follow the Chicago route of constantly striving for the worst mayor.
As an outsider, it looks like Chicago achieved its objective.
Peak worst mayor is like peak oil, always coming soon, never achieved.
Chicago has certainly given it their best shot, but they’ve been outdone by little ol’ Dolton, IL, right in their own back yard.

First mayor ever, and he’s been under investigation for months now. I expect them to find someone worse.

Establishment Democrats who cosplay as socialist to get elected so they can steal everything in sight versus actual socialists being socialist so they can get elected and steal everything in sight is not a compelling election narrative for me somehow.

I keep hearing people complain about the heat. *looks out window*
It’s summer.
The swamp I live in isn’t normally subtropical. These temps are abnormal even for summer.
Ah. Well down here it is normal sauna weather. It is odd to me that there are very few mosquitoes this year. I have never seen that before. The chiggers are taking up the slack.
Also, we have swung back to a high in the critter population cycle. I have squirrels and cottontails scurrying around everywhere. I did find one red hawk wing feather in the yard so maybe that will keep them down a bit.
“It is odd to me that there are very few mosquitoes this year”
We jumped from getting low temps in the 40s and 50s at night to suddenly being in a broiler. That likely affected the insect raids. It also murdered my basil and peppers.
Shooting for 98 tomorrow, which is about 5 degrees lower than the forecast yesterday. Not quite the 104° record, but plenty hot. Quite a bit above the historical average of 76°.
Looking forward to every douche bag screaming about “global warming!” ignoring the historically cold spring just we came out of.
High 90s here too. And more humid than it usually gets.
It claims 100 here tomorrow (from 102 predicted yesterday for Tuesday) and 95 on Humpday which will usher in thunder storms and dump us back into the mid 70s for the rest of the week.
Warming is over, now it’s climate change. Cold winter and hot summer are because of it.
/goalpost moving company
The solution remains loss of rights and more communism and higher levels of taxation so the people peddling this shit can steal even more of our money?
Heck, it was 50* and rainy over the weekend here.
Yep, only my new phone no longer says hot/sunny. Now it’s “Extreme heat” & “Extreme UV”. Oh noes!
By which it means “average” for this time of year.
It’s so hot and humid here, it’s like 5:30am in Houston.
We’re having a break from the heat. Only supposed to get to 101 today.
We’re getting the first hot weather of the season now. That’s pretty late for us. I’m just glad it stopped raining.
YOU might have too much rain for your operation, but *I* love rain. Bring it.
Those people are jerks. We’ve got 90’s all week here and I’m happy I can use my pool a lot. Last night I went for a swim and the water was 92.
We do have some rain in the middle this week, so alternating the heat and the rain is making my garden look great. Just what we need this time of year.

Trump endorses Lindsey Graham while promising to campaign against Thomas Massie.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/06/22/trump-pledges-to-travel-to-kentucky-to-campaign-against-rep-thomas-massie/
Annoying whoever is in power is Massie’s role. He’s the one nun in the congressional whorehouse. Trump’s goals are generally pro-America, and far better than any of his recent predecessors, but he’s no less ego driven and no more principled than they were, having some wiseass keep pointing out that virtually everything about our current government structurally, policy wise, and procedurally, violates the Constitution was guaranteed to annoy a guy who thinks of everything in terms of getting a huuuge win.
Massie was my write-in vote for President in Nov., so yeah, fuck Trump with his own ego.
When he was pretending to hire people like Graham to scare the rest of the world,Bolton for example, he was lying as to the reason. it’s obvious he agrees with them. Plus, can Massie suck a golf ball through a garden hose?
Brat Summer II!
Cloak and dagger stuff, guys in trench coats sneaking around in the dark over…..sausage recipes.
I am fairly certain that the wife saw that episode of ‘The Good Witch’. Someone tell them that the secret recipe is in a cubbyhole in the chimney.
Maybe they should consider sending the guys in trench coats to Bavaria this fall, and actually steal a good recipe for once?
I spent a couple of weeks in Bavaria last year. I was not prepared to be wowed by the food, but I was.
I bet they are looking to hide the sausage. Maybe they will use your buns.
I was pleasantly surprised Abbott vetoed the THC bill. Unusual that when republicans feel they have a mandate, that they drop their moral crusade for any reason. I don’t personally use THC products as it make me paranoid AF as the kids would say, but I have several friends that do and vote republican that are going to be relieved over this.
I, too, am happy Abbott did the right thing. He was under a lot of pressure from the Lt. Governor and big wigs in congress to pass it, or at least let it pass without a signature, and he still listened to the people. I, also, am not a user, but I would like my wife to try it for her persistent pain.
Is Evil Sheldon on? I need gun gaming advice.
On again, off again. What’s up?
You have my email address, right? evilsheldon@pm.me?
Ok, will do. It was pointed out that under D3 13, frame mounted optics are legal in L10. This has suddenly made my CZ97 a much more attractive option for Race gun Nats in October, but I have no idea how to go about buying a mount. Nor any particular background in which optic to have on such a mount. I like my C-More, but my experience is limited sole to that one. After enough matches in the rain, an enclosed emitter seems like a really good idea but no idea if those dots are too difficult to pick up quickly.
There are enough competent machinists in my club that I think they could handle the installation, though I could also bite the bullet and drop the coin to have CGW to a complete package. (though adding a frame mount is not an option they have listed).
Looking at the rules, D3.13 doesn’t only specify just frame-mounted optics. You could go with a slide mount as well. Do you have time for CGW to cut your slide for something? Maybe a Holosun 509T?
Since the gun isn’t made anymore I’m a bit hesitant to have the slide milled.
CGW and CZC have both responded with “lolwut?” The mounts for the TS are too low for the 97 slide. Milling might be my only option.
Damn, that was gonna be my next suggestion.
Last week Iranian “regime change” was a conspiracy theory.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-hints-regime-change-iran-while-declaring-make-iran-great-again-after-us-strikes
Davos wants BRICS destroyed, Israel wants Iran gone, the China-haters want their oil cut off, the EU nuts want to take over Iran to threaten Russia’s southern flank.
Pretty much every shithead in the world wants our sons to die over there for them.
And Trump will oblige them. His antiwar stance was all a lie.
I’ still think he is against war. His first term the IC, MSM, MIC, etc. were all against him because he wouldn’t start another war, and he still didn’t.
Still is. Seriously not literally applies here, he’s not invading Iran.
Has there ever been a regime change through airstrikes alone?
They’re inching towards a regime change posture, the post on his platform was to gauge the reaction. They’d have to be insane to consider invading but our expanded and prolonged involvement looks to be very much on the table.
No, hence the seriously not literally part. Also, even if you want to take him literally regimes do in fact sometimes change without a US invasion. I’ll bet you $100 donation to the site fund that we don’t invade Iran. I will except from the bet us sending in a special ops team or two, but any formation standard company strength or above counts.
They’d have to be insane to consider invading but our expanded and prolonged involvement looks to be very much on the table.
The cynic in me says that they’re doing just enough to either cause Iran to react or to be able to false flag one to manufacture broad based support for an occupational war.
“Has there ever been a regime change through airstrikes alone?”
There have been plenty of regime changes with foreign force without boots on the ground, and a few even through inaction (see Iran in 1979).
And as anyone with firing neurons understands, the real regime change can only come when the people being oppressed rise up. From what I hear, killing the people that would prevent that – by airstrikes – goes a long way in making that possibility more likely.
real regime change can only come when the people being oppressed rise up
This never happens. Bottom up revolution is a myth. The typical reality for such change is a group of elites outside of the governing power seize the governing power and use populism to get the proles to do the dying for them.
Be careful with those little blue neo-con pills – they make people think that if you kill the bad-guy leaders, new compliant ones will rise up to both lead the country, and do what you want them to do.
Maybe we can persuade Ukraine to invade Iran to open up a second front against Russia!
“This never happens. Bottom up revolution is a myth. ”
Really?
Have you missed the various color revolutions in the last couple of decades in places like Egypt or Ukraine, to name a couple? It doesn’t take much when a corrupt government is in shambles to topple them. Inaction by the forces protecting them is more than enough to make it happen.
Do foreign intelligence agency run coups really count as bottom up revolutions?
Have you missed the various color revolutions in the last couple of decades in places like Egypt or Ukraine, to name a couple?
The one in Ukraine where Victoria Neuland propped up NATO-friendly elites in opposition to the Russophile government that was in place?
You think some of that isn’t going on right now in Iran?
Probably is, but you claimed they were an example of the people being oppressed rising up, which is what I was objecting to. If they are an example of the people being oppressed rising up then so were the BLM riots. Both are the same thing, outside agitation fueled insurrection, not spontaneous revolution by oppressed people against their oppressors.

The word is his ship assisted in the big raid this weekend, but we don’t know the details. My guess is some Growlers to jam radar sites, but we might never know.

Thumbs up.
In 2003, there was an earthquake in Bam, Iran that killed 34,000 people. I think some mullah blamed it on women not wearing headscarves. Anyway, it didn’t change anything major in the status quo, so I doubt the recent strikes will do much either.

What if he was inspecting Natanz, Isfahan, or hiding in Fordow this weekend?
I’m of two minds – A: I’d stay away from the places your enemy is most interested in destroying B: he was overconfident in the structure of the facility against Israeli bombs.
Of course, he is also just plain old and might have Joe Biden Syndrome.
I am gonna go with the fact he is very likely in Joe Biden territory and the fact his top killers – the ones that really ran things – all have been sent to their 72 goats in hell is why there is this massive dysfunction now going on.

“Isn’t Uranium Hexafloride heavier than air?”
Anything uranium or hexaflouride is heavier than CO2, the heaviest thing in air.
Yes. Almost every gas is heavier than air. The big exceptions being the zeppelin fillers and ammonia.
Well, there might not be a detectable release if the bombs collapsed a shit ton of rock on top of the stockpile. The satellite photos don’t show big craters, they show, basically, entry wounds, one per bomb, with possible subsidence in places.
Here’s what we also don’t know – the effect of the subterranian explosion nor the location relative to the facility. What the sat imagery shows is that the blasts didn’t disturb the surface.
So what does the geology at that site look like in terms of strata? How does it respons to suddent underground blast?
I’m not going to assume that a lack of detectable release means anything given the depth of the facility.

“A judge on Sunday ordered the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, pending trial. Abrego Garcia is an illegal immigrant who was slated for deportation in 2019, was deported by the Trump administration earlier this year, and was then extradited back to the United States to stand trial for human trafficking in Tennessee.
Abrego Garcia is alleged to have engaged in human trafficking operations from 2015-16 while he was a member of the MS-13 gang. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced in June that “On May 21, a grand jury in the Middle District of Tennessee returned a sealed indictment charging Abrego Garcia with alien smuggling and conspiracy to commit alien smuggling in violation of Title 8, USC, 1324.” He reportedly earned over $100,000 annually from this activity….
US Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes scheduled a hearing for Wednesday of this week during which the conditions of Abrego Garcia’s release will be discussed—a move the Trump administration is already appealing. Her claim was that the DOJ has not proven that Abrego Garcia is a flight risk, that he would interfere with proceedings, or that he poses a danger to the community. His wife twice went to police with allegations of domestic abuse.
“Overall, the Court cannot find from the evidence presented that Abrego’s release clearly and convincingly poses an irremediable danger to other persons or to the community,” Holmes said.”

“Copper wire theft is not a new issue in Washington and is growing. According to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), there have already been 30 reported wire thefts across the Seattle metro area this year, surpassing the 25 reported during the same period in 2024. The incidents are costly and disruptive. On May 25, a theft disabled ramp meters connecting Interstate 90 to northbound I-5, worsening traffic for over a week. WSDOT estimates that 2025’s thefts have already cost the state $500,000 and required more than 1,200 hours in labor…
The financial toll has also affected CenturyLink’s parent company, Lumen, which reported 69 copper theft cases in Washington in 2024, 36 percent of all such incidents across North America. The company estimates losses between $5,000 and $15,000 per theft. “Narcotics. Drugs. It is a drug-driven enterprise,” Lumen’s Dan Chason told KIRO. “You are having withdrawal symptoms from your habit, and you see this cable hanging there, and you know you can cash that in and get a fix — that’s the driving motivation behind it.””

As the United States faces possible retaliatory attacks from Iran, a “brain drain” in top Justice Department and FBI national security and counterterrorism units could reduce their ability to prevent potential terror and cyberattacks from Tehran, according to six former senior DOJ and FBI officials.
Staff levels in the DOJ National Security Division’s Law and Policy section have dropped by as much as two-thirds, two former DOJ officials said. Its counterintelligence and export control section — which tracks foreign espionage in the U.S. by Iran and other foreign rivals — has lost about a third of its workforce, the former DOJ officials said.
A former senior FBI official said he was aware of at least 20 national security personnel who had left the bureau in the last three months.
“The senior ranks of the FBI and DOJ’s national security teams have been decimated,” a former senior DOJ official who spoke on the condition of anonymity said through text message. “As a result, the FBI and Justice Department are completely unprepared to respond to a crisis, including the fallout from the current conflict in the Middle East.”
Trump has left us wide open to attack!
“We have no INTELLIGENCE…”
Assumes brains not in evidence.
Middle managers and lawyers are crucial to dealing with cyberattacks, it is known.
Two former FBI officials said high-level ousters and resignations at lower levels are rampant within the counterterrorism division.
“There are people leaving left and right,” said the former senior FBI official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “There is a brain drain at the executive level.”
What’s the point of domestic counterintelligence when the people you labelled as our most serious threat won the election?
Going after grandmas praying is far more career boosting than dealing with actual terrorists. Especially when you don’t want to arrest the Antifa ones because they are your buddies?
Who will monitor school board meetings?
Assholes that want to invade Taiwan bloviating about sovereignty of nations and such shit.
Johnsonville is leagues better than anything Hormel has ever put out, so that is not encouraging.
One of the former DOJ officials said that Attorney General Pam Bondi, who oversees both the DOJ and FBI, signaled the administration’s priorities days after she took office.
On Feb. 12, Bondi appeared in the hallway outside their offices, holding three large, framed portraits of former President Joe Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris, and former Attorney General Merrick Garland, demanding to know why they were still hanging on the division’s walls.
The acting head of the division, an appointee of the first Trump administration who worked in the White House counsel’s office, said the portraits could be removed only by building maintenance staff. Officials from previous administrations had also sometimes found portraits of their predecessors hanging on the department’s walls.

A man who opened fire outside a Michigan church filled with worshippers on Sunday was struck by a vehicle and then fatally shot by security staff who averted a potential mass shooting, police said.
Churchgoers attending a morning service at CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne spotted the gunman driving recklessly and then saw him exit his car wearing a tactical vest and carrying a rifle and a handgun, police Chief Ryan Strong said at an evening news conference.
The man began firing as he approached the church, striking one person in the leg.
“A parishioner struck the gunman with his vehicle as the gunman shot the vehicle repeatedly,” Strong told reporters. “At least two staff members shot the gunman, causing the fatal wounds.”
