It’s a bit of an odd and unexpected morning. Because of lack of staff, WebDom decided to close the café today, so I’m actually not going in this morning. An enterprising teenager cut my lawn. I cleared out at least a roomful of junk that had been piling up. My consulting clients are all in a waiting mode for supplies and test results. So for the first time in months, there’s not any actual work for me to do today. I may go back to sleep.
But I will thank everyone for the nice words yesterday when I was having a difficult time due to my friend’s death. It meant a lot. And I spent the afternoon being comforted by Prime at our favorite brewery. She is bracing herself for her first opportunity to meet SugarFree in a few weeks. Hilarity will ensue.
Speaking of hilarity, birthdays today include the Catholic Joe Biden; the spirit animal of Hamas; a guy who did it before Spencer Tracy; the guy who taught me how to speak German; a guy who spent more time on the ground than he did on the floor; a guy who demonstrated that even if you burn your food, people will buy it; an actor who was insufferable on camera and in real life; a guy you don’t want flying your airplane; the true Free Byrd; a true square, and more; and a guy who knows how we roll.
And we roll with Links.
Here’s a solution: eliminate FEMA.
The cult of RBG, but with a far stupider god. I have not found ACB particularly inspiring, but she’s done well in the catfights.
The propaganda seems to be getting repetitive.
Those Jews are even trickier than we thought.
And here’s how (((they))) do it.

Putting aside my deep lust for their fiddler, these guys always have vocals and arrangements which delight The Old Guy.
All those NYT articles paywalled.
The cult needs money.
What a shame.
I did click on those but fortunately I hovered before clicking on another pile of garbage from The Guardian so my blood pressure remains only slightly elevated.

“The development of mature sperm cells within the male reproductive organs is a highly sensitive process and can be influenced by various factors. Because of this, the University’s School of Biomedicine and Robinson Research Institute’s Dr. Hannah Lyons and Dr. Nicole McPherson believe it could be used to predict long-term health risks.”
So you are saying they swallow?
Not sure, but they are the cream of the crop.
C’mon, man. Are we really doing these jokes again?
“”Di US dey mount considerable pressure on African kontris to accept Venezuelans wey dem wan deport from di US, some of dem na straight out of prison,” Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar tok.”
That’s just wrong. Force the Venezuelans to take them.
How?
Launch them from offshore trebuchets?
I don’t think the Venezuelan military could or would want to try to stop U.S. from landing planes.
Common Tater:
So potentially get into a shooting war to return illegal aliens? I’d be perfectly alright returning them to their point of entry, and letting them find their own way home.
Venezuela is as likely to get into a shooting war with the U.S. as you are getting into a fight with Jon Jones.
I’m thinking they either flew here or crossed the Mexican border. Mexico doesn’t want them, and shouldn’t have any obligation to take them.
Mexico allowed them entry to Mexico, Mexico can take them back in, the fuckers. They only allow entry if you are heading for the U.S. – otherwise they keep your ass out.
I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
But yes, I am not terribly impressed with this “third party” bullshit. OTOH the left is using it to bitch about Donald when of course they don’t want to expel anyone for any reason.
Isn’t there like a big island the new immigrants could go to, establish their own government, economy, etc. Antarctica is still sparsely populated, isn’t it?

“The 21-month war has left much of Gaza’s population of more than 2 million reliant on outside aid, and food security experts have warned of famine. Israel blocked and then restricted aid entry after ending the latest ceasefire in March.”
That’s how war works. If you don’t want random assholes getting killed, put your combatants in uniform.
Also, don’t start wars you cannot finish.
BDS is a form of siege tactic, too.
Wasn’t Gaza pretty much reliant on outside aid before the war?
Yes.
I’ve been hearing they are all at death’s door for months.
“Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly fired several Department of Justice (DOJ) employees this week with ties to former special counsel Jack Smith, who probed President Trump’s handling of classified documents and efforts to overturn the 2020 election, according to reports by several outlets, including the Associated Press.
At least nine DOJ workers were terminated by Bondi on Friday, The New York Times reported, while other outlets including Axios and The Washington Post reported that 20 employees were cut, including U.S. marshals, support staff and lawyers.”
So no one knows.
Decimation!!!!
I’d be all up for a 10% cut to all departments and budgets.
You could talk me into reversing those percentages overall.
What do you know? When something personally involves Trump they can get results.
Good morning! Much drama yesterday. I hate drama so much, and NY white trash is vastly worse than TX/OK white trash.

“The Justice Department dropped charges against a Utah doctor accused of pocketing nearly $100,000 from anti-vaxxers for fake COVID-19 shots – all while destroying thousands of dollars’ worth of real vaccines.
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Saturday that she directed her department to drop the case against Dr. Michael Kirk Moore, who had been charged with conspiracy to defraud the government and other offenses, arguing that he “did not deserve” the 35-year prison sentence he was facing.
Moore, along with two of his staffers and a neighbor, was initially charged in 2023 for distributing at least 1,900 fake COVID-19 vaccination records from his Plastic Surgery Institute of Utah Inc. office in Midvale in exchange for nearly $97,000 or donations.
“Dr. Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so. He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing. It ends today.”

That’s what I was thinking.
“The father of socialist NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani sits on an advisory council of an Israel-hating organization that routinely accuses the Jewish state of committing “genocide” – and has expressed sympathy for suicide bombers…
“Suicide bombing needs to be understood as a feature of modern political violence rather than stigmatized as a mark of barbarism,” the elder Mamdani wrote in his 2004 book “Good Muslim, Bad Muslim: America, the Cold War, and the Roots of Terror.””
https://nypost.com/2025/07/12/us-news/mamdanis-dad-part-of-anti-israel-group-sympathetic-to-suicide-bombers/
The asshole doesn’t fall far from the tree.
So when are we getting suicide bombers against people of Mamdani’s persuasion?
When people are demoralized and broken enough?
It rarely does.
Where do I sign up for that book?!
And it’s because of those views he’s only going to get 70% of the Jewish vote.
Oof.
It’s not like they shot him.
No?
They were incompetent in preventing the shooter.

I wonder how much the New York Post gets paid to promote OnlyFans?
Let me guess: they’re enthusiastically supporting her. You did a great job pounding your snizz with that zucchini for money last night, we’re so proud of you.
Sydney Watson just released a video about it. Apparently, money is a huge part of parents acceptance.
Things like this make me wish hell were real.
Wish hell were real? It is. They are in it.
Sunny Lane’s parents managed her porn career. She said in an interview they were the only people she trusted.
She said in an interview they were the only people she trusted.
She distrusted everyone on Earth except for 2 people and still managed to trust someone untrustworthy…
“Truly what gets me out of bed everyday is knowing I’m taking care for them.”
“Gets me out of bed every day” is an odd phrasing for this particular job…
The participants are taking care of themselves without getting out of bed.
Very nice, parents as suitcase pimps.
I don’t get Only Fans. Why pay for pr0n on the internet?
What does that $$ buy you? I could see it if she came to your house and performed special sex acts on you. But just to look at naked girls?
Did the kids decide that strip clubs weren’t enough of a cock tease? “You know, it is great that I can blow all my money on a gal who doesn’t give a shit about me, but I really hate that they actually rub on my junk during a lap dance. I wonder if there is a way to combine the total waste of money and sexual frustration with no hope of physical relief”.
I can only assume these are the same people who take out education loans for useless degrees.
They get to talk to the girls. Which are ghostwriters and AI for the big accounts.
“‘Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it?'”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14900765/trump-faces-MAGA-revolt-truth-social-jeffrey-epstein-files-pam-bondi.html
Reasonable question.
Information that compromises both sides and once you give up the other side they start pointing fingers.
The Epstein Files are catnip for the Q-anon set.
That’s a problem with government secrecy in general. It is a shield for incompetence (or malice) far more than it is protection of critical information. Since the bureaucracy is fundamentally non-accountable, it has every incentive to reduce transparency.
It is vital to our national security that certain things be kept secret. If you draw a circle the size of Easter Island to represent those actual important secrets, and then add in the things that are classified because they protect Politicians and Bureaucrats from embarrassment, prosecution, or unemployment, you get a circle the size of the Pacific Ocean.
My theory:
There are indeed influence/blackmail networks in government and other businesses based on pedophilia and probably other practices just as bad. Q-Anon was an intel op to poison the well when those networks would receive a little sunshine.
Yes, because honeypot blackmail ops don’t happen and the estimable DOJ has said nothing to see here. Q-Anon’s braindead line was trust the plan. This is the opposite.
It is vital to our national security that certain things be kept secret.
Really – not much. The big prize was nuclear weapons, and the cat is out of the bag on that. Our illicit operations (intel, SpecOps) are secret of course – due to being illicit in the first place. Secrecy is ultimately a game that can’t be won, and is stupid to play.
It’s hard to recruit intelligence assets if you publish their names, and in both warfare and negotiation it is important to control what you let the other side know and when they learn it. I largely agree that trying to keep technology secret is ultimately a losing game, but that doesn’t mean there are no valid security classifications.
Yea, because it’s just unbelievable that our or some foreign government would be looking for blackmail material on powerful people and that powerful people sometimes or very often have deviant proclivities.
And just ignore the many documented and proven connections Epstein had with Israeli intelligence. It’s just a coincidence. All just coincidence.
First to blame the Jews; First to believe the Qs; and First in the hearts of the Glibertariat!
“They [Radical Left Lunatics] created the Epstein Files”
I have no idea what this means. I don’t think the promise included releasing whatever the left lied about it. I think it implied facts, details, names.
Anyway it’s obvious we’ll never get any of that & it stinks to high heaven.
I think he is referring to previous Democrat administrations.
“Sydney Sweeney is reportedly in the running to be the next Bond girl in the long-awaited new instalment in the 007 franchise.”

She is not a Bond girl to me.
“She is hot in a girl next door kind of way.”
Damn. Wish I lived in your neighborhood.
I”m not trying to insult her. But I see better looking women than that on a daily basis without trying.
She has big tits. Her face is nothing spectacular if that matters to you.
Bro is right. She’s kind of a butter face. Alternately, she’s like that Seinfeld episode where his girlfriend looked good from some angles, but ugly from other angles.

“Sometimes, high-tech solutions aren’t the best way to solve a problem. The US Army apparently came to that realization recently while exploring new methods to deter birds and other “problematic wildlife” from air bases. The military initially considered using Boston Dynamics’ dog-like Spot robot to scare off the intruders, but they quickly realized it wasn’t fast enough to effectively shoo the critters away.
A far more effective—and affordable—solution presented itself in the form of three life-sized plastic coyote decoys mounted on top of toy-sized autonomous vehicles. These cyborg watch dogs , set to make their debut at naval air bases sometime in the future, have a fitting name: “Coyote Rovers.””
https://www.popsci.com/technology/us-army-plastic-coyote-robots/
We have some of those plastic coyotes outside my office in an attempt to keep the Hate Birds (The Birds That Hate) away. They don’t work that well. I guess I should tell my boss that we need the toy autonomous vehicles to render the fake coyotes more effective.
I’m thinking if they never move the birds figure out they are fake.
They can pay me to use Kaiser. He does a fine job of shooing off birds and critters, and he’s easily faster than those robo-dogs.
You joke, but at least here, there’s services you can hire that will bring a group of dogs onto properties to chase geese away.
Marta the shepherd is also effective at keeping my yard bird and critter free.
Which is why my pesky mulberries are everywhere- the birds cant get in to eat them.
You would still have the mulberries in your yard. They’d just be in digested form.
My mother learned the hard way about hanging sheets to dry outside when you have a mulberry tree.
GT:
Well, not so many mulberries, as purple bird shit splattered over everything.
The obvious answer: Send them to Guantanamo, and then open the gate to Cuba.
The left loves Cuba, so win-win!
Don’t know how that happened.
Or, you could just have, actual, you know, dogs.
And offend our new vibrant muslim neighbors?
If the Muslims take over, who will be more surprised Queers for Palestine? Or the suburban women who have those tiny yip dogs?
I’m going with Queers for Palestine. They appear to be genuinely ignorant of every aspect of the people they support.
The national lab near me has plastic coyotes near their fences, presumably to keep the turkeys away. There was a real coyote trotting through our neighborhood yesterday.

“On Friday, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced that the city would be providing pre-loaded cash cards to illegal immigrants who have been afraid to go to work out of fear they could be picked up by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). She said migrants will receive a “couple hundred” dollars, and that the financial aid would be available in about a week.”

Subpoena the records, and pick them up. Further, everyone who was involved gets charged with criminal conspiracy.
⬆️⬆️
Wonder what actual government service in the city was sacrificed for the sake of that?
They fired the one guy in each regulatory department with the authority to use the approved stamp. Fortunately they kept all the ones who can issue fines and order further studies.
Sure hope it wasn’t the dedicated, hard working SNAP-Ed educators! How would those poor immigrants know how to eat in a culturally sensitive way?
Especially since there are 60 recently fired angels here in Minnesoda who would be happy to work for LA and Karen Bass.
Aside from their students, I’d like to see how many of those SNAP-ed educators were physically fit vs obese.
lol A week? A day? Who the fuck knows?
NYC is giving them free room and board. You can do better, Karen.
The LA City budget is currently a billion dollars in the red. Even city officials admit service cuts are coming though they refuse to specify them. Bass is rubbing this in the face of LA residents. I can only observe they voted for this.
“For outsiders watching the intra-MAGA warfare over the mythical “Epstein files,” the entire situation may seem baffling. Jeffrey Epstein’s supposed client list is a fiction, dreamed up by conspiracy theorists who want to believe the infamous pedophile was also a world-class blackmail artist, even though the journalists who exposed the case have repeatedly denied that allegation. It’s weird that MAGA is so fixated on this. If such a list existed — and let me reiterate, it does not — there is one person whose name would almost certainly be near the top: Donald J. Trump.”
https://www.salon.com/2025/07/09/why-maga-cant-let-go-of-the-epstein-files/
Well, that settles it.
Didn’t Maxwell literally have a little black book filled with names that the court sealed away?
Yes but it was a list of contacts, some (most?) of which were presumably legit and not up to kid diddling.
There’ also a shit ton of videos that Epstein had for…reasons. Reasons that totally weren’t blackmail material.
Yeah, I don’t think an incredibly wealthy guy with an international procurement network really needs a spank bank.
There is a list that doesn’t exist, but that fascist ogre Donald Trump is on it…
Interesting, so there is a literal list and Trump is not on it? Hmm, I really doubted there was a list, but if Salon says there isn’t, there must be.
JFC. There does not have to be a “physical list” yet but there are obviously records and details a-plenty that are available in order to construct a list – and I have little doubt that someone has already done it.
You obviously don’t have the right stuff to become an official fact checker.
If a bad GOP type person is making a claim, everything must be 100% literal. Any inconsistency must result in a finding of Pants On Fire. If a Dem is making some claim, you must twist things until it results in a finding of 100% TRUE.
In this case, flight logs of everyone who flew with Epstein to his island *cough* Bill Clinton *cough* do not count as any type of list. They are flight logs.
This. No one thinks he was walking around with a list in his back pocket but it’d be easy to compile one if it hasn’t been done already.

“Vaccines work, actually. But that’s not all. Depending on the specific vaccine we’re talking about, that jab might also prevent cancer, heal herpes lesions, help you keep most of your marbles, prevent your kids from dying in early childhood, improve your skin and so much more. These surprising bonuses that can come with vaccination, called beneficial non-specific effects, are common, but not widely understood. In fact, no one knew about them until relatively recently — and when researchers first discovered all this, no one believed them at first.”

Uffda. 10-62% reduction. I’ll have to drop your grade for such a wide range. On the other hand, I will restore some points for using an oddly specific number 62% to make it seem like you didn’t just pull that out of your ass.
I also like the inclusion of COVID-19 into your list of long term benefits. Yeah, there is so much historical data to back that up.
Male white babies get the 62% advantage, black female babies get the 10% advantage. Because vaccines are also racist I’m sure.
You should also drop the grade for not including the base percentage risk of dying.
I’ll take two!
“If you’ve heard of Chuck Tingle, it’s likely due to the wild titles of his extremely niche, parodic, self-published gay erotica, many of which have gone viral since Tingle became involved in the culture wars within the science-fiction community in the 2010s. And if that’s so, you may be surprised to learn that Tingle has, over the past few years, evolved into one of the better horror/technothriller authors around. The mainstream publishing success of the author of This Handsome Sentient Baseball Hits a Home Run Into My Butt is one of the most unlikely, inspiring, and downright sweet underdog stories in book publishing, an industry not known for its abundance of sweet underdogs….
Space Raptor Butt Invasion is a relatively tame title, as Tingle’s go. His erotica—shortish stories he calls “Tinglers,” with covers Photoshopped by Tingle himself—was and remains celebrated for its titles. These include My Billionaire Triceratops Craves Gay Ass, Glazed by the Gay Living Donuts, Bigfoot Pirates Haunt My Balls, and the anatomical conundrum Pounded in the Butt by My Own Butt. Dinosaurs, unicorns, and assorted inanimate objects that become “living” feature as love interests, and such fantastical elements as time travel (which somehow enables that recursive butt-pounding) abound. Tingle writes under a pseudonym and offers a biography studded with impossibilities, such as a birthplace in Home of Truth, Utah, a ghost town abandoned in 1977, and a degree in holistic massage from DeVry University, which offers no such credential. When appearing in public, he always wears sunglasses and a pink bag over his head with the words Love Is Real printed across the brow.”

Wonder what actual government service in the city was sacrificed for the sake of that?
In P-Brooks-topia, the federal government would dispatch a note of congratulations to the mayor of Los Angeles. “Since you obviously have more money than you know what to do with, you won’t be needing any further financial assistance from us.”

We are now seeing the rise of a new generation of armchair revolutionaries who are calling for everything from the overthrow of the U.S. government to the seizure of factories and homes.
By all means, let’s have people with absolutely no understanding of how anything works put themselves in charge of the means of production.
One of the amusing stories about the early Soviet rule was the worker councils being crushed in favor of party functionaries in charge of the factories. How dare those un-credentialed proles think they had the SMAHTS to actually run the operations they worked in!
“The ruling elites of the Islamic Republic of Iran are not known worldwide for their friendly, sunny dispositions; in fact, they have a long and ever-growing list of pet hates, including America, Israel, women (at least if their heads are uncovered and they’re out in public), and man’s other best friend, dogs. The ruling Iranian mullahs have now extended a ban that was already in effect in over twenty Iranian cities to the entire country: it is now against the law to walk the dog. That means, of course, that while private ownership of dogs as pets is ostensibly permitted in Iran, it has for all intents and purposes been outlawed.”

Nathan Bedford Forest should be celebrated because he moved from straight up hard core racist to advocating for racial equality.
If we lived in a sane and decent society, NBF’s transformation would be held up as a wonderful story. Instead we will condemn him for his early beliefs.
Sometimes I am tempted to believe that people from the past are not two dimensional cartoon characters but rather complex people who lived in complex times and the context for what they did and said is something that we today have little grasp of.
Nah. That would require too much thought and might crack my preferred narrative.
I like to listen to the older Dollop podcasts. Half the time I’m laughing at the two historically illiterate hosts instead of with them.
For example, they were baffled why nutmeg and other spices were so important back in Europe. Why would people be so interested in spices that help preserve food? Forget the spices, just put the food in some tupperware and then put it in the freezer or fridge!
What? This was in the 1500’s? They didn’t have freezers and fridges back then? Well, then I guess you could just buy only a day’s worth of food at the super market.
Spices were never a preservative. They were always a flavorant.
Space Coast Ghost to Ghost
I am at a pub and they have tarte flambee on the menu so I says like pizza and the bar chick said no its not pizza but i googled and looked at the pictures and thats pizza.
Alsace pizza, but yes. I hope they have Riesling…
Nope it is a craft beer pub. Some such pubs sometimes have a token wine on the menu, nothing good mind. But no this one zero wine.
Alsace pizza and Quiche Lorraine would seem to call for a Moselle historically.
A surfeit of nuance
Voters also say they are, first and foremost, concerned about common sense in a political party, something Democrats evidently see as an afterthought, the poll revealed. The party needs to align its messaging with the commonsense rhetoric and policies voters are looking for, political observers say.
“We as a party oftentimes are getting nuanced in the way that we look at the world, and I don’t think voters are looking for nuance,” Mollineau said. “They’re looking for straightforward communication on identifying the problem and then fixing the problem.”
How do we recapture the simpleton vote?
Democrat messaging has nuance? Hmm, I guess maybe it does. Racism is bad, except when applied to white people and Jews. Sexism is bad, but not if you dress up as a woman before getting all patriarchal. Gay people must be protected, except from the people actually killing them. Nuance!
Yes, yes, yes. Get back to solving problems that everyone wants solved. Like traffic cams for red lights and speed limits! People love that shit. Especially after you also made the speed limit 25 on ALL city streets.
Sure no one actually drives 25 on those city streets, but that is the law. It must be enforced.
The DFL in Minnesoda is lucky they have the
Washington GeneralsMinnesoda GOP to battle. Any rational party would have run on this law.“Do you want more of The Man spying on you and fining you?”
Again, the obsession with messaging. If they were trying to trick people into voting for people and things that the people didn’t really want, how would they discuss their strategy differently?
I was this many years old when I learned Patrick Stewart wasn’t gay.

A changed man?
One year after coming millimeters from a very different outcome, Trump, according to friends and aides, is still the same Trump. But they see signs, beyond being on higher alert on stage, that his brush with death did change him in some ways: He is more attentive and more grateful, they say, and speaks openly about how he believes he was saved by God to save the country and serve a second term, making him even more dug in on achieving his far-reaching agenda.
“I think it’s always in the back of his mind,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a longtime friend and ally who was in close touch with Trump after the shooting and joined him that night in New Jersey after he was treated at a Pennsylvania hospital. “He’s still a rough and tumble guy, you know. He hasn’t become a Zen Buddhist. But I think he is, I’ll say this, more appreciative. He’s more attentive to his friends,” he said, pointing to Trump sending him a message on his birthday earlier this week.
Graham added: “It’s just a miracle he’s not dead. He definitely was a man who believed he had a second lease on life.”
Oh, no. Trump with a messiah complex. What could be worse than that?
Will the messiah complex make him force (((them))) to give him the Ark of the Covenant that (((they))) have been using so successfully against Iran?
Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, who as his then-campaign chief was with him at the rally, said in a podcast interview released last week that Trump walked away from the shooting believing he had been spared for a reason.
“I would say I think he believes that he was saved. I do. And he would never — even if he thought it before, I don’t think he would have admitted it. And he will now,” she told “Pod Force One.”
She, too credited divine intervention. The chart, she noted, “was always the last chart in the rotation. And it was always on the other side. So to have him ask for that chart eight minutes in, and to have it come on the side that is opposite, caused him to look in a different direction and lift his head just a little because it was higher. And that just doesn’t happen because it happened. It happened because, I believe, God wanted him to live.”

My first thought was a Karen of cuntes, but the last 7 months or so have suggested a Susie of cuntes.
School, or is that too fishy?
A beaver of cuntes?
The NEA is the only federally chartered union. Time to end it.
“We don’t have time for that. We’ve got to fight Trump,”
Good luck with that. He’s on a mission from God.
in this case an outfit called Liusandedian that sold car seat covers configured to fit various makes and models — can use any random address in the United States as the location for its returns.
Now we know what can possibly go wrong.
Old Guy Music is good.
Muh egghead consensus!
This administration is bringing back the law of the jungle to international trade, according to trade expert Kristen Hopewell, and time is running out to salvage the remains of a post-war system of commerce that promoted stability and prosperity across the world.
“Trump is a totally unreliable negotiating partner,” she tells Fortune. “Any deal you strike with the administration is not worth the paper it’s written on.”
We were living in a perfect world of free and open and equitable trade, and Trump blew it up.
