Wimbledon is clipping along and a ton of the ladies draw is in ruins. The mens isn’t much better. If you’re watching, prepare to google some new names as you tune in. Shit, this absolutely sucks. What a horrible way to go. Clayton Kershaw got his 3000th strikeout. And that’s it for sports.
I assume they’re gonna drop as big a hammer as possible in sentencing. Also, this prosecutor is clearly in her position due to nepotism. She’s failed in more than one high profile case. Perhaps it’s time to cut her dumbass loose.
Just get it over with already. It’s been a massive failure of compromise but at least we’ll all keep our tax cuts, I guess.
Yes, these staffers are revolting. I believe that with all my heart.
What a bunch of assholes. How do you get to claim exclusive rights to a whole continent with just a few people on it?
Who can blame her? If I spent that much time with British teenagers, I’d be drunk too.
Clever. Very clever. We’d have never gotten these kinds of names under Obama or Biden.
Yeah, go with that. I’m sure it’ll get you back in touch with the middle American family values voters.
Get out of the cities. For real.
Did you not hear me? I said GET OUT OF THE CITIES!
Somehow, I think they’ll be safe. They’re also probably gonna get the money somehow since they’re the affluent leftists that run that part of the state.
Yeah, this is from the same website, but live by the EO, die by the EO. OF course, I’m sure there’s a federal judge somewhere willing to add all salmon to a class and then issue a nationwide injunction on their behalf. So this will probably be safe for a while.
It’s the 4th of July weekend. Time for some patriotic music. So freaking awesome. They deserve some love. And I’ll give it to them. Enjoy.

Dems aren’t already the pro-porn party?
Certainly in the elementary school libraries at least.
Bazinga!

Man how times have changed. I remember Republicans being anti-porn, then Feminists being anti-porn, now we’re back to Republicans being anti-porn.
I also never thought I’d live to the day when Democrats were defending big food mass produced processed foods, but here we are now.
Remember the days when Dems were against Big Pharma and their obscene profits?
I actually slogged my way through that to see if the author had a single clue about those who don’t hold her position.
The answer, no surprise, is not a clue.
The author of that isn’t a woman. It’s that Don King-cosplaying retard who’s a regular on MSNBC held up as a liberal when he’s basically a socialist who got into Harvard because his daddy was an influential politician.

Semi-seriously… we had yellow journalism… wonder if this time period will become known for “red journalism” given the agenda being pushed so shamelessly.
I’m willing to give them a break and assume they were not provided with the evidence the legal team had when they reached this settlement.
But it still speaks to their stupidity that they’d bemoan a settlement that’s ultimately cheaper than the public reaction to the malfeasance done by their coworkers.
It seems they settled because they didn’t want to have to release the full unedited interview transcript in discovery. They should really think about what that means.
I thought they released the whole unedited interview.
Is that incorrect?
They had one edit in lead ups to the interview, then another edit in the interview itself. No unedited version was released of which I am aware.
Sensei – I’m not sure, a quick google I couldn’t seem to find a definitive answer. I would still think discovery was what they wanted to avoid.
It probably isn’t the edit/unedited versions they are worried about, but the communications such as text and email that surround this.
They call it advocacy journalism, which they think is a good thing.
Chicago continues its death spiral…River North is an area that is often full of suburbanites and the like. It was supposed to be safe.
Sounds like a neighborhood begging to be more heavily taxed under the new NYC model to me, Swiss.
When will NYC claim authority to tax anyone who has stock in a company listed on the NYSE.
Look, like Wickard, we’re all affected somewhere in the economy by decisions made in New York City markets… only fair we all start paying our share to support The City!
I saw a clip of that commie dope saying “we just need to kick the corporate tax rate from 7% to 11%, like New Jersey, and that will pay for free busses!”
– the mayor of NYC doesn’t set NYS corporate tax rates
– what makes him think any increase in NYS revenue would just flow to the city?
That’s ignoring things like “corporations don’t pay taxes, people do”

@Neph. Yeeep. Wild pitch turned into an out at the plate, followed by two walks and two pickoffs.
Ouch. BUT! It was a really bad good inning. Still several hits and scored in the inning, and we won pretty handily (Boyd is really good this year), that inning was brutal.
Well. *Goofy * Unfortunate! We won. If that were the bottom of the ninth, leading to a loss? Would strongly disapprove.

Besides rhywun’s point — this could backfire anyway if you’re pitching it to “woo young men back” (it smacks of the same condescension as “legalize weed and petty crime to win back African Americans!” really) given that a lot of the types that they’ve driven young men to online are the “improve yourself, ditch porn and work out” style — for varying levels (from Jordan Peterson “your life needs order and structure” to the rabid “vital essence” types from what I’ve seen).
Pitching yourself on the “this will weaken you and mess you up… join us!” side may not work out for them is the short version.
It’s “greetings fellow porn viewers” level tone deaf.

Better increase property taxes to pay for all that will be needed to protect those properties.
I think a lot of this was “native tribes want their fishing areas restored” — so I expect that to be the fig leaf instead…
Either way, it was implemented through an EO, not by legislation. So if we’re a nation of laws it can be undone just as easily as it was done.
Which means nothing to activist progressive judges, so it’ll probably be stopped in a district court somewhere otherwise unaffected by the dams.

Kinda genius actually. They get to spend without incurring the ongoing costs associated with actually owning the stuff.
NATO countries just need to increase their defense budgets. The fact that they do so by buying guns and missiles for Ukraine is one way to do that.
I suppose it’s better than claiming non-military foreign aid as defense spending as they’ve done in the past.

“Too many people in NJ who vote for a living.” You mean the ones who are dead?
I thought this only applied to people owning multiple homes? Now they are just grabbing some of the value of your house?
They have altered the deal… pray they do not alter it further.
(And re: the voting… I’m assuming they’re working on the California model — get enough of the electorate reaping the benefits and a small enough minority actually paying the taxes and you can keep jacking the taxes [until the cattle stampede away, of course] because of course those not paying will happily vote for it.)
Yes, according to the article. Naturally, no inflation consideration from when the camel poked its nose into the tent in 2004.

“Sex pests Clarence Thomas and alleged attempted rapist Brett Kavanaugh are the perfect examples of that hypocrisy. In their private lives they’ve been accused of sexual harassment and indecent behavior, but when it comes to actual legal issues involving lascivious speech, they suddenly reach for their Bibles. Thomas and Kavanaugh believe in the “freedom” to menace real-life women, but not the freedom to draw fake ones. ”
CWAA
Like “could”… “accused” is doing more heavy lifting than Atlas there.
Have to give them props for dancing right on the razor edge of libel there, I suppose.
He may have stepped over that edge by calling Thomas a sex pest. He only threw in “accused” when referring to Kavanaugh.
Yeah, since they were falsely accused in politically-motivated hoaxes, they have no standing to comment. Too bad they are public figures and therefore couldn’t win a libel/slander case against this idiot.
You caught that slick little move I see.

“A seasoned “hacktivist” reportedly stole sensitive data from more than two million Columbia University students, applicants and employees in a targeted cyberattack officials believe was politically motivated.
The sophisticated digital activist, who knocked the Ivy League’s systems offline for several hours on June 24, swiped social security numbers, citizenship status, university-issued ID numbers, application decisions, employee salaries, and other private records, Bloomberg News reported….
The alleged hacker, who declined to reveal their identity to the outlet, said they targeted the embattled Manhattan university to find documents indicating the use of affirmative action in admissions — a practice banned by the Supreme Court last year.
The trove of extracted documents allegedly included 2.5 million applications dating back decades, along with financial aid packages, the outlet reported.”

Im suspecting that jobs report will allow Powell to kick the interest rate debate down the road some more
The argument I am seeing for cutting interest rates is that it will save the government billions in interest payments.
Which strikes me as on par with saying the government should subsidize heroin because addicts will save lots of money.
We should just set the rate to zero and save all that interest on the debt! The Fed can buy all the bonds when the auction fails yet again. It’s magic! Excuse me while I go build a chicken coop, eggs are about to be $500.
Silly fool. Raising chickens for the eggs is not a money saver.
Once money is worthless it’s not about saving money, it’s about eating lol.
Short term, it may goose the economy enough to drag the Republicans over the finish line in the mid terms.
Rates are still too low given the rate of spending.
The NYPost are Republicans porn because they keep running these stories promoting OnlyFans.
“The downside to OnlyFans was that, as much as Banks tried to shield her children from it, her eldest son, who was around 11 at the time, found out.
“Somebody told him. I was so careful to make sure that they were shielded from everything,” she said.
“It wasn’t fair that somebody else told him, but he was so cool about it. I had a conversation with him and he’s like, ‘it’s fine’. People do worse things for money,” she said.”
https://nypost.com/2025/07/03/lifestyle/lucy-banks-reveals-the-moment-her-son-was-told-she-did-onlyfans-unfair/
It wasn’t fair?
Obvious and inevitable consequences of actions are inherently fair.
Was this really Winston’s mom?
“We know that this news may raise questions and concerns across our community about the scope of the affected personal information. Our team is working toward answers,” University leaders told students and faculty in an email obtained by The Post.
You think?
Wait… all the Columbia University students were on OnlyFans?
In some way, arent we are all on OnlyFans?
Does that make it Omnifans?
All I hear there is her 11 year old son is already at “I already knew you were a whore, Mom… How you work and market isn’t really what I care about.”
Makes me think of the old joke about the student who told the class his dad played piano in a whorehouse. Father gets called in to talk to the teacher, and admits he told his kid that he played piano in a whorehouse, because he didn’t want his kid to know he was a lawyer (or politician, or any other shameful profession).
Whorehouse… legislature… tomatoh, tomahto….
People do worse things for money
What does an 11 year old consider worse ways to make money?
Selling 11 year olds to Penn State coaches?
They got Diddy on the Mann Act. Sheriff Buford T. Justice would be proud.
Much as I hate knee jerk accusations of racism in the judicial system…
Convicting a prominent black man under a law created to respond to an early 19th century moral panic about negroes having sex with white women is kind of sketchy.
We currently have a sex trafficking moral panic.
I’m sure that’s what the idiot nepo baby prosecutor was counting on. Scream ‘SEX TRAFFICKING!’ enough, and she could bully her way into a high-profile name-in-the-papers celebrity conviction.
Also from the “Dems for pr0n” article.
If the decision had gone the other way, wouldn’t it have paved the way for making any sort of age verification check illegal? Like, checking if a person is 21 before letting them buy booze?
I strongly suspect Elie has no problems with age verification for gun purchases.
To be fair gun stores are a lot less sketchy than most porn sites. I’ve never had a second thought about giving my information to a gun store.
Definitely no issue with age verification for gambling sites.
…or 18 before letting them vote?
” Like, checking if a person is 21 before letting them buy booze?”
That check is trust me, bro.
I’m OK with websites that sell porn requiring age verification, but not websites where there is no money involved.
In my anecdotal “research”—for science—there is not a single one of these sites where I’d feel comfortable putting in my credit card information, or my freaking driver’s license, or anything else that could be used to reliably verify my age.

Other examples include new “Trump accounts” with $1,000 deposits for each newborn from 2025 to 2028 and a tax exclusion for income from tips (limit: $25,000) and overtime ($12,500). The exemptions are set to lapse after 2028, which reduces their cost on paper (roughly $150 billion).
But you can bet your 401(k) they will be extended and expanded. Democrats will demand annual government contributions into the baby entitlement accounts, and these will grow like the child-tax credit, which this bill expands again. Along with tax credits for employers for paid leave and child care, the bill is the opposite of traditional tax reform.

Oh, it’s better than that. Only FLSA overtime is exempt. So if you’re employer pays overtime above that (such as daily overtime) or aren’t covered by FLSA such as railroad workers, it’s still taxable. And employers will have to track and report overtime. And fudging a time card isn’t just a disciplinary matter, it’ll be a federal crime if you punch for OT that isn’t taxed.

“The court’s decision to hear the case comes two weeks after the conservative majority delivered a major blow to transgender rights by upholding a Tennessee law that bans gender-affirming for young people. In doing so, the court left various legal questions about transgender rights unresolved.”
No, that was a major blow to transgender wrongs.
“Categorically excluding kids from school sports just because they are transgender will only make our schools less safe and more hurtful places for all youth,” said Joshua Block, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union who is part of the legal team representing both students. “We believe the lower courts were right to block these discriminatory laws, and we will continue to defend the freedom of all kids to play.”

Hopefully you all have something fun planned for the weekend. Finally the 4th falls on a proper day of the week. This is my favorite holiday, it has all the things I like: Hot weather, swimming, BBQ, fireworks, a day off, no buying of gifts, no obligation to visit people. We’re keeping it low key and spending 3 days by the pool. I need it after the last few weeks. Mrs. TOK was out of town last week, so I covered her at the gym, and my two kids suddenly needed me to drive them everywhere.
Probably hang around the house. Since we are rural-adjacent, we will have no shortage of home-grown fireworks to watch. In fact, our celebration in the area started last weekend.
Cook up some wings, hotdogs, tea and booze.
We’re also on the edge of civilization, and we have a 360 degree view of fireworks on the 4th. Having a 3-day weekend, people have a good idea when to light them off. When the 4th is in the middle of the week, they’re lighting them off for a week.
The girlfriend is not opening the salon on Saturday, so she’s got four days off in a row. I’ve given her full reign to plan the activities this weekend with one request to stop by a brewery on Saturday (they’re doing their 8th anniversary party).

Young, cishetero men who like jerking off to boobs the size of back problems are. They have been led to believe that Republicans are the protectors of free speech in this country. Some of those guys don’t care about free speech: They vote Republican because Republicans support their desire to treat real-life women like the sex objects of their fantasies. There’s nothing that can be done to save these people.

“Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio shared his intention to organize a “human shield” around Zohran Mamdani, a controversial Democrat mayoral candidate, following President Trump’s threat on Tuesday to have him arrested after Mamdani vowed to interfere with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations if elected.
“Donald Trump will have to go through a lot of us first if he wants to arrest Zohran Mamdani. We New Yorkers will put a human shield around him if we need to,” wrote de Blasio in an X post on Wednesday. “No one gets to intimidate us.”
Mamdani made it clear in his statement, saying that “We will not accept this intimidation.” New York Governor Kathy Hochul also vowed to step in if the Trump administration moved to denaturalize him, Newsweek reported.”

“The 2025 Oscars ceremony has drawn renewed attention to New York City mayoral candidate and Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, thanks in part to his mother’s alleged role in a campaign to have Israeli actress Gal Gadot barred from the Academy Awards.
Mira Nair, Mamdani’s mother and acclaimed director of Monsoon Wedding, was one of the signatories of a letter demanding that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences disinvite Gadot from presenting at the Oscars. The letter, signed by 21 Academy members and more than 75 other filmmakers, condemned Gadot’s “vocal and unwavering support” for Israel’s military and described her presence as “deeply offensive.”

While my doubts about Trump teeter a bit, I doubt he’d deport him.
However, it has caused those on the fence and armslength support to wrap themselves into his socialist flag.
Donald has exposed the major sources of the left’s grift and it’s driving them nuts. It is an existential crisis for them.
I really hope the dems do form a human shield around Mamdami or whatever his name is. That would be hilarious. A bunch of queercore obese bluehairs holding hands and shuffling forward in a circle with him wherever he goes.

“A new AI-powered website called LooksMapping is the latest trend hitting the restaurant industry, ranking food and beverage establishments by the “hotness” of their customers.
The website, catering to 9,800 restaurants in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, allows its visitors to select where to dine based on an AI algorithm that evaluates the attractiveness of diners on a scale of 1 to 10, The New York Times reported.
Riley Walz, a 22-year-old programmer based in San Francisco, founded LooksMapping with the intention of using Google review data to make sarcastic observations about the restaurant industry. Walz used an AI model to collect 2.8 million Google evaluations, identifying 587,000 profile photos with distinctive traits among 1.5 million unique accounts. He next taught the model to determine whether the individuals were male or female, old or young, and hot or not.”

WTF??
“I have way too much time on my hands.”
Look, you don’t want to eat your avocado toast around a bunch of uggos. They’re nobodies. You want be seen near beautiful people.
Wouldn’t ugly people make me look better in comparison?
You don’t want to be the best looking ugly person. No one’s going to follow your insta for that. You want to be around good looking people who are popular because they’re good looking and you’re with them which means you must be popular and good looking too and OMG that other cafe treats uggos like people and no one goes there.

There’s a real cool club on the other side of town…
“In response to the verdict, in which Combs was only found guilty of the two transportation for prostitution counts, supporters outside the courthouse were seen spraying baby oil on themselves.”
Classy.
I enjoyed the chick wearing a tshirt that said, “A Freako is Not a Rico”.
Suave.
Is there a Constitutional right to be bombarded by moronic nonsense on the internet? Should it be age restricted?
Serious minds need to know.
That’s no way to refer to our dedicated linksters!
Meh. It’s a fair cop
“Kashanian arrived in the US in 1978 on a student visa and has lived in the country ever since. She later applied for asylum, citing fears of persecution due to her father’s ties to the US-backed Shah of Iran.
Her asylum request was ultimately denied, but she was granted a stay of removal on the condition she comply with immigration requirements, a condition her family says she always met. Kashanian was so careful about regularly attending her meetings with immigration officials that she once checked in from South Carolina during Hurricane Katrina.”

Pretty sure this not what the public wants.
A lot of missing details. Why is there an almost 50 year stay of deportation? Why did she not obtain permanent residency or citizenship during this time period?
It happens more often than you think. Immigration courts are run by a bunch of petty bureaucrats making largely arbitrary decisions. Someone decided that since she overstayed a visa she couldn’t a green card, or another visa, but that she also wasn’t worth deporting.
Married but never did any of it?
More migrant camps planned.

Tenacious defense of democracy
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., excoriated Republicans during a marathon House floor speech Thursday in an attempt to delay the passage of the sweeping GOP bill for President Donald Trump’s agenda.
During his speech, which kicked off just before 5 a.m. and was ongoing more than six hours later, the Democratic leader slammed the GOP bill, often referencing a series of binders as he read notes from Americans who he said would be harmed by Medicaid and SNAP benefit cuts.
If you pass this bill millions will die!
House leaders have unlimited speaking time on the floor, using a procedure called a “magic minute.” The longest House floor speech was 8 hours and 32 minutes by then-Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. Jeffries has shown no signs of slowing down, noting that he was taking his “sweet time on behalf of the American people.”
“What is contemplated in this one big, ugly bill is wrong. It’s dangerous, and it’s cruel, and cruelty should not be either the objective or the outcome of legislation that we consider here in the United States House of Representatives,” Jeffries said, arguing that it was “cruel” to cut Medicaid.
Well obviously. Legislation based on faux-compassionate good intentions has proven to be unequivocally beneficial.
My hero!
