The trade deadline was not uneventful. Guess I should have expected Correa to end up back home after he said it was all a joke. Ole Miss is getting ready for their football season. Or prepping for something. And the NFL preseason opened up last night. That’s it for sports.
Oh, now it’s worth grasping pearls over? I remember when the media said it was all cool when protesters mobbed a SC Justice’s home, and the yawns when a man was caught trying to kill one of them.
Have these people never run a business? Saying someone “stole” an employee is a pretty common phrase. Oh wait, it’s just the media trying to make something normal sound nefarious.
If they appeal the discipline, it will be an interesting case. Very interesting.
Catastrophic, lol? Ease up on the hyperbole, buddy. They’ll all be back when winter comes, just like the stupid geese.

Oh, good lord. Stop infantilizing people who do stupid shit.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! These people are fucking crazy.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! So are these motherfuckers.
I’m not laughing at this one. Because these people are a different kind of crazy. LINK FIXED TO THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE!
Go chase that bag, coach. I hope you win.

And enjoy this lovely Friday and weekend, dear friends.
“In 2020, a disgruntled litigant posing as a deliveryman opened fire at the New Jersey home of District Judge Esther Salas, killing her 20-year-old son Daniel Anderl. Five years later, as President Donald Trump steps up hiscriticism of federal judges who have blocked some of his agenda, dozens of judges have had unsolicited pizzas delivered to their homes, often in Daniel Anderl’s name.”
This is Trump’s fault?
Yup — he’s fostered anger against the judges — stuff like “they will reap the whirlwind” and all… And encouraging angry protests right outside their houses… and saying that they’re partisan and tyrannical and ushering in a dictatorship.
You know… all that stuff is all pure MAGA-isms.
Sigh… or what Sloopy said — I shouldn’t reply before I get past the thumbnail and checking the music selection, I suppose.
These peoples’ actions are Trump’s fault. But the actions of a mob aren’t their own fault.
I believe the left has a chart to show you when and where fault lies depending on the party affiliation and/or physical characteristics of everybody involved. (Hint: it’s always Trump’s fault)
The left is full bore implementing Alinsky rules. Lie, cheat, and steal, then accuse others of that.
What Alex says. They have no bounds and there is only one possible destination. No matter the argument, issue or problem the answer is always the same: total power for them.
Last sentence:
“In 2022, Congress passed a law named after Daniel Anderl allowing judges to sue internet sites to take down identifying information.”
This kind of egomania is getting almost Trump-like.
Perhaps the prime source of animus? We are the elect, not him!!!

I can’t turn back, I’m on the edge… your links explode inside our heads….
I’ll admit that I absolutely loved those guys back in the day. And still crank it up when a few of their songs come on the 80s channel.
There was a transition period of a few decades in the music business where it was believed that capital-A Art was a viable part of a money-making strategy. Those were more interesting times.
I clik you link, get video to release stuk poop.
Those tricky Jews!
The fact that the people obsessed with protecting Hamas only seem to see genocide by Israel, and never have a peep to say about real genocide going on right now against Kurds, Uighurs, and others in Africa, should tell you their primary concern isn’t really the death cultists and the lies they tell, but…
You are criminals, you stupid bint. What the fuck do you think attempting to run a state blockade is?
We can argue about whether the law in question is just, or if the state response is reasonable and proportionate (personally I think the IDF naval assets should have blown your ship away and machine-gunned any survivors in the water, but that’s me,) but there is no question that you committed a crime, and your insipid whining is basically you hitting yourself in the face and complaining that it hurts. Go die.
Yep.
Either that or let them into Gaza and do not let them leave.
Are the second and third crazy people stories the same link?
No. They were for a moment while I rushed the links out, but it got fixed after a minute.
Or maybe given they’re right back to “who will pick the crops” this is just the mask slipping a little for how they actually view workers these days…
Concur.
Am I the only one that was rooting for the IDF after reading the grauniad article?
My goodness, no. In fact, if you waited this long you’re late to the party.
I hate to be serious here, but…
That article is a perfect example why humans can’t/should attempt to have a universal government. That article was written by and for people who honestly think it makes the Hamasniks look sympathetic. Those people’s values are so fundamentally incompatible with mine that we cannot have any authority over each other without someone dying.
Yeah, well the people who write stuff like that think you deserve to die, and if they made that happen their global governance would usher in a utopia.
Everyone knows it is going to be purely puppies and rainbows when you cross paths with guards keeping you out of a terroristic war zone. Not as if concealed explosives or using “aid” as cover for weapons has been done lots of times there, after all. These Aussies should have been greeted with hugs and party favors!
“ Those people’s values are so fundamentally incompatible with mine”
But totes compatible with the Jew haters and the globalist marxist agenda with deep seeded hate of western culture.
I’m onboard with strict siege rules if the IDF implements them, which of course they won’t.
“Zwinck was sued under a new state law signed by Democrat Gov. Jared Polis about two weeks before Dias-Goncalves’ arrest. The measure prohibits local government employees, including law enforcement, from sharing identifying information about people with federal immigration officials.”
Well, that’s a stupid law. So the ridiculous over enforcement and ridiculous under enforcement continues.
I’d like to see a legal argument that if a state can refuse to work with the Feds (against federal laws), a county can refuse to go along with the state right back….
I find it hard to believe a state can pass a law prohibiting information sharing with federal law enforcement and it would withstand constitutional scrutiny.
It would not, but they can find a bunch of radical bench legislators that will try their best to make it so…
I don’t think it would withstand scrutiny, but the idea is a holding pattern until Trump leaves office.
But, I don’t think this will work if the current economic growth stays. If I am right, Vance is a shoe in.
I don’t think this will work if the current economic growth stays. If I am right, Vance is a shoe in.
Never underestimate the stupidity and short memory of the American electorate.
Aktually: “shoo in”
Sometimes you need to wack ’em with a shoe to make them move.
Part of the Opinion of the Court in the case on the Brady Law (Printz v US I think it was?) is that the Feds cannot co-opt or force state or local law enforcement to enforce Federal laws. State governments are free to require state or local law enforcement help the Feds or prohibit such help, but the Feds cannot force assistance.
…and I can ignore all of the laws, ’cause I don’t like them…
Look, democracy needs as many warm bodies as we can supply in order to keep the good guys in charge.
Why do you hate democracy?
She’ll be down on her knees begging for a job soon…
I suspect she’s gonna be the black, female Dan Quayle. Her career in office is over. She’s gonna have to jump on the NGO grift train now.
I think Quayle sucked in a very different way overall.
I think Quayle was made to look bad and am only sure that he was far more competent than presented, or in fact, than a lot of the dems they told you were not incompetent assholes (Schumer, Pelosi, and such)…
Remember that the teacher who gave Quayle the cue card is the one who misspelled “potato”.
If she does that it will be her ego talking. Her husband makes plenty of money. She could spend the rest of her life doing pilates if she wants.
I wonder how much she paid for that appearance?
Wasn’t it on Colbert? He probably dipped into the remaining slush fund for her.

Government is there to take care of you, Citizen! Can’t have you making your own decisions and deciding what is good and evil, that is reserved for your Gods who are taking care of you.
“… the greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do. Provided the rulers do not interfere with its material comforts and its cherished beliefs, it is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled.” — Huxley
I mean, if you have material comforts and can live in accordance with your beliefs what does “being ruled” mean? If I lived in a state of anarchy ruling only myself, I would probably be trying to live according to my beliefs and maximize my comforts. Is this just sneering at the sheeple?
“… the greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do.”
Which is why you do not give them socialism to help them keep failing and breeding.
There are a LOT of people in this country that are perfectly happy to be part of the crowd, and do as they are told, even if they don’t full-bore agree with what that is. There are also a LOT of people what are perfectly happy to be telling other people what to do.
This idea of you live your life, I’ll live mine – not really all that popular amongst the greater population, even if it is a hallmark of this little corner of the internet.
My problem is that I am far more interested in being left alone to live my life, which in my old age now makes it obvious that my lack of action in the past might be why we are where we are today. The people that want to stomp the boots on other people’s necks have no problem wanting to fuck things up and have nothing to do that requires them to just live their own lives.
God, Marx, it really doesn’t matter – some people just know they know what is best for you, Alex! Why can’t you go along with them?
The same reason you don’t, JI… 🙂

That Bulwark piece is hilariously unhinged. Unfortunately, the Beltway Consensus *likes* such shit.
If only the GOP could return to its roots!
The Reagan big-tent!!!
Two more points:
1) So much of the character assassination in that piece could describe Zohran Mamdani.
2) I’ve reached the point where I immediately disregard anything in a piece once the writer uses “bro” as a pejorative.
“Now, in the New York Times, three doctors promote the idea of “redefining death” to allow patients to be killed for their organs. First, the authors lament the difficulty of obtaining healthy organs from people whose hearts stop irreversibly after the removal of life support. They also bemoan the shortage of “brain-dead” donors. Then, after discussing a controversial approach that restarts circulation after …”
Rest of it is paywalled.
Shit. That was my work-around because I couldn’t find the NYT piece on the way back machine.
Let me go try and fix it. I’ll let you know when I find a good link.
Ok, I finally managed to get the way back machine to do its thing. Check the current link.

Brain dead, so it checks out.
You know who I am most reminded of with this guy? Al Capone.
Interesting. He reminds me more of Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria.

Dude only has 1/10th the brains of Beria.

Didnt some fed judge just order congress to allocate money according to the judge’s direction?
Yeah, the people claiming Trump was shitting on their democracy and constitution just took one giant dump on it, and then yelled “BUT TRUMP”. And I remind everyone these people do not hate Trump so much as they hate the people that he represents. They truly hate us all.
Yeah, because that’s how the constitution set things up, co-equal branches with specific defined powers, and One Judge to Rule Them All.
I hate this new writing style where it takes forever to get to the point. Summary goes in the first paragraph.
Need to get them to run their eyes over as much adspace as possible. Keep scrolling!
Actually, need to have the proggie idiots read a fake headline, believe that, then skip the rest and never find out the headline was bullshit, while the people doing this crap can claim they did report the facts…
Sorry. I’ll try to do better next time.
Most people will soon read a short AI summery so it makes no difference how the article is written.
AI writes the articles now. Following the NYT and Washington Post style guides from 2021.
The big style guide revision was in 2016. That’s the one that eliminated all the rules and replaced them with
A snide reference to Orange Man Badness must be inserted a minimum of once per three sentences.
80’s videos, jeebus. It’s like the really early cartoons, where the medium was new and they animated crazy shit just to explore the possibilities.
The hit-piece on Farritor reads like something out of Atlas Shrugged, with Jonathan Last (the author) as Wesley Mouche. The author, in the throes of his pants-soiling hysteria, can’t even compose a proper sentence — “casually destroys a program that will result in the deaths of millions” means just the opposite of the other claims the author is advancing, and relies on the false premise that only US tax dollars can solve this problem.
You want to know what screamed out at me from that piece – HE REJECTED US and our ways!
So Heretic?
Good catch, JI.
Someone wants to save the world? Good for them. They can knock themselves out….on their own dime.
He was privileged because his parents kept him out of their schools.
“Safi said at least 30 IDF members boarded Handala when it was intercepted, and claimed all were armed, some with four guns.”
Octo-Jews?
Remember when we told you Jews are insects? Here’s the proof. They can hold four guns and use their other two appendages to walk.
-the antisemitic left
I thought soldiers disliked excessive battle-rattle.
Maybe a rifle with a master key counts as two and a sidearm with a flashlight is the other two?
a knife counts as two guns.
Rifle, pistol, flare gun, taser?
Four guns is a lot to manage for one shooter. It’s not unheard of, but I doubt it’s the case here.

Fuck. That.
When it comes to mountains I am like Chuck Noland and the sea post-rescue.
So it is an undercut slab, covered in scree from all the prior slides and rock falls, and you crawl out on it for the view… I mean it will only fall once, so the fall event is a unique event and we have visual proof that at least once it did not fall. How do you calculate the odds of a thing that is certain to happen to someone, but will only happen once?
I do it by noping the hell out. Someone else gets the dramatic exit.
100% would. I like being up high.
I have no issue with heights and have climbed more mountains than I can count, but you are generally supposed to stay off the cornice and not put a trail on it.
“How to resolve this debate? The solution, we believe, is to broaden the definition of brain death to include irreversibly comatose patients on life support. Using this definition, these patients would be legally dead regardless of whether a machine restored the beating of their heart.”
How do you know it’s irreversible?
How do you know it’s irreversible?
Because the guy paying them for the organs they want to harvest said so.
well if you harvest the organs you wont reverse it… Now I am sure some cases are irreversible but I cannot be that certain doctors will make the right decision.
How do you know it’s irreversible?
Top. Men.
This happened to a couple we know.
The guy had a heart attack at breakfast. They got him on machines, but no brain activity or any other signs that he could recover. The family decided to pull the plug after a week but delayed it by another day to let a relative time to make it there to say goodbye.
That night he came to.
He’s alive and ambulatory now. His brain isn’t 100% though. He really has no concept of time anymore. He can’t figure out what happened in the distant past and what just happened. He also has some other issues. The worst of the deal is he is dimly aware that something is off. It has made him very angry and aggressive.
Honestly, I’m not sure if I were in that same situation, I’d be mad that they didn’t pull the plug earlier. It has been a bad deal all the way around.
Yes, but imagine the lives that could have been saved if they’d just been allowed to kill him, free from the encumbrances of current law.
They sure some devil didn’t take over the husk?
I’ve spent a lot of time, 5-10 minutes, worrying about things like that. Even the Idaho murderer choosing life in prison over a death sentence.
It’s enough of a problem being me, I sure don’t want to live in a diminished world.
Sloopy:
I took the organ donor off my license because I was worried about the eagerness of the docs to harvest organs. My family all knows I’m fine with donating organs after I’m gone, but no need to let the docs know that right up front.

I’ve been doubtful of the Oct 7 narrative. Some Israelis are too like this IDF soldier.
https://x.com/JimFergusonUK/status/1951199975901208657
What do you mean “narrative?” Last I heard Hamas is saying “yup, we went and killed/kidnapped/raped some Jews. Now give us what we want.”
They posted videos online of the massacre, rapes, and murder before the usual people sanitized it so they could keep claiming there was some moral equivalency between the sides. Anyone not remembering this, makes me wonder.
Happened to move the hippie festival to the border at last minute with shit security. Tightest border in the world but nobody noticed an invasion or flying jihadists.
Ah, the Israeli equivalent if the “LIHOP” theory of 9/11?

One soldier? It would seem every soldier that got that order would be screaming from the rooftops.
“Universo Paralello was not originally intended to take place at the Re’im site, with organizers moving it to this location only two days before it started, when another site in southern Israel fell through.”
No indication of what the other site was or why it fell through. For all I know, it would have been just as convenient for the jihadis.
“At the party there was already a police force, like any licensed party,” Gaster says, “and they were the first ones to try to give assistance by fighting… We are Israelites, so most of us have military experience, and a few from the production managed to kill some terrorists with their bare hands and their weapons.”

Not sure if the security was inadequate. I mean, sure, it was inadequate to withstand an assault by thousands of Palestinians, but I don’t think that’s really the industry standard.
There were IDF facilities overrun as well. This is one instance where I am willing to chalk up the failures of the government to incompetence, not malice.
Gaster says a person from the festival killed two of the attackers after taking their guns.

Facebook once bought a VPN app for $120M and turned it into a surveillance tool that spied on 33M+ users’ entire phones for years.
This app helped Zuck buy WhatsApp for a whopping $19B and break Snapchat’s encryption.
Thread
The name of this Israeli app was Onavo.
It promised to “secure your data” and reduce mobile data usage.
When Facebook bought it in 2013, Zuck said the app would help them connect more people to the internet.
But Onavo operated as a VPN that routed all your phone’s internet traffic through Facebook’s servers before sending it anywhere else.
Facebook could see:
• Every app you opened
• How long you used it
• Which websites you visited
• And at what time you used each app
By 2016, this data revealed Snapchat was exploding in popularity.
But there was one problem: Snapchat’s traffic was encrypted, so Facebook couldn’t see how people were using it.
Facebook’s started “Project Ghostbusters” – named after Snapchat’s ghost logo.
They would use “man-in-the-middle” attacks to break Snapchat’s encryption.
Apple forced Onavo off the App Store for violating privacy rules.
So Facebook rebranded it as “Facebook Research” and started paying teens $20/month to install it on their phones.

Not sure if it has been covered here, but last week a cyber attack shut down all the IT services for St. Paul. King Walz sent in the National Guard to help.
No journalo asked Tim how sending in a bunch of 19 year-old cooks could help with the situation.
I wonder if Gwen Walz opened her windows so she could get a whiff of burning servers?
She was too busy replacing Tim’s buttplug.
Probably a good thing SGM Walz wasn’t on duty, he would have resigned before taking on a job with the dangers associated with challenging a coordinated digital attack.
“Above all, we are committed to protecting the safety and security of the people of Saint Paul.”
When did that start?
I assume they were brought in just in case the cyberattack was the first move and there was some bigger more violent part planned once the govt was focused on the cyber situation.
That sounds way too subtle and smart. Odds are, he did it for the optics, under the We Must Do Something principle.

I think that overall sending Correa to the Astros is good. Getting stuck with $33M of his stupid $100M sucks, but at least it stops our idiot GM from giving him an even bigger contract in the future.
It also seems like the Twinkies are executing a bold strategy trading away 40% of the team this week.
I’m sure the next step is to demand a new stadium. Obviously our 20 year old park is the reason they aren’t making more money that they could use to get better players.
The Astros are desperate due to injuries and the market is thin. I’m kind of surprised they talked the Twins into eating that much of his contract.
That is the local vibe here too.
If you are paying that much, why not keep him?
The front office probably wants him out of town because that huge contract is a constant reminder of how stupid they are. He’s underperformed ever since he got here. But not so badly that we kept getting told that he was just about to get back to all star levels soon.

If you are not a globalist marxist perv, you are a terrorist.
According to the SPLC, that is correct.
“The training materials cited the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center, which labels Moms for Liberty an “anti-government extremist” group.”
This is my surprised face.
If every sewer across the South was rerouted into the SPLC HQs – would anyone even notice?
They may show up to school board meetings or even run for office!
The hate group/ anti terrorism training I got in the army was writen by the same people.
Oh, now it’s worth grasping pearls over?
Uffda. Don’t get me started.
The shit storm that has been going on since the crazy guy shot the pols in Minnesoda is still going on. They just decided that all the pols can be reimbursed $4200 for home security. Not sure how that was done with no legislation.
They are also in a tizzy because a homeless guy broke into the capitol building twice. The guy was crazy so the cops brought him to the hospital to get help. The hospital let him go, so he broke in again. The pols who are usually all about helping crazy people without jailing them are infuriated that this guy wasn’t locked up.
The pols who are usually all about helping crazy people without jailing them are infuriated that this guy wasn’t locked up.
That’s different. He was a threat to them this time, not just to the normie shitmunchers.
It’s almost like the “care” and “compassion” they claim to possess was always a lie.
I can’t find a link now, but there was also a group of pols who want an investigation as to why there wasn’t a better plan on the books for how the cops (local and state) should react to violence against pols.
Which is amazing because I was amazed the local cops were bright enough to send a squad car over to the Hortman’s house after learning that the other pol had been shot. I suspect that there must have already been some plan on the books. How else do you explain the cops learning that a pol had been shot to sending out squad cars to nearby pols.
God forbid there be a plan for dealing with violence against normal people and their property.

What she means is that the system was supposed to allow people like her to rig it, and now it doen’t.
I guess there’s a lot broken these days.
I spent over $1 billion and all I got was …
From the boy genius goes wrong article:
As much as I enjoy thinking of generals actually being the ones who have to go over the top to kill the enemy personally, that isn’t how the military works. That this govt drone thinks that it is, is probably why we haven’t been winning many wars.
Unless that person has $37 trillion in his pocket he can fuck right off about “evolving and improving”.
A $6 trillion budget is “…tearing down to the floorboards.”
Almost two hours after posting and nobody has remarked on the Ole Miss Dildo Gauntlet.
I am disappoint.
I don’t think Miss Dildo is a beauty contest I want to see.
Fake news. At Ole Miss, all those dildos would have been bigger and blacker. That is what all those sweet southern belles secretly want.
Ole Miss has a WNBA team?
WNBA players masturbate by scissoring with a pocket pussy. Dildos are way to phallic for them to have anything to do with them.

You joke, but back when I was in school, we (Alpha Phi Omega) shared an office with the Womyn’s Student Association (against their protests, and they always vacated when we had office hours). This was in the early days of Eternal September back when printed periodicals were still the most important forms of communication.
There were years-long debates among academic feminists about whether you it was politcally correct use a penetrating toy. It was clearly established that phallus-shaped toys were antifeminist, but some claimed if it was shaped like a dolphin or something else it was acceptable to do more than stimulate the clit.

You forgot to mention that our Romanian guy kicked your American guys ass in the swimming.
https://www.romaniajournal.ro/sports/david-popovici-wins-100m-freestyle-world-title-in-singapore/
After winning gold in the 200-meter freestyle two days ago, Romanian swimmer David Popovici claimed the gold medal in the 100-meter freestyle on Thursday at the World Swimming Championships in Singapore.
Popovici finished the final in 46.51 seconds—just 0.11 seconds shy of the world record (46.40).
Second place went to American swimmer Jack Alexy, who clocked in at 46.92 seconds, followed by Australia’s Kyle Chalmers in third with 47.17 seconds.
David Popovici previously won the 100m freestyle world title at the 2022 World Championships in Budapest. In Singapore, he already claimed gold in the 200m freestyle on Tuesday.
David Popovici is the first swimmer in history to achieve the 100m–200m freestyle double twice at the World Championships, following his 2022 success in Budapest.
Okay.
And?
AMERICANS CANT SWIM GOOD
What does that say about your guy who was only 0.41s ahead of the American then?
that he got the gold
To be fair all our men’s swim team has been devastated by all our best swimmers leaving to join the women’s team.
That reminds me.
I need to wake up my wife and give her my swimmers.
It also doesn’t help that the fastest swimmers in the US have been rounded up and sent back to Mexico by Trump.
FYI: there’s been a shipment of Romanian milsurp Makarovs and Tokarevs imported recently.
If I had spare dollars I’d probably pick up one of the Czech surplus also imported instead.

Such an awful look.
“But after breaking out on the streaming hits “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus,” Sweeney offered a second chance to worship at the feet of a new white queen.
And by “feet,” I of course mean “breasts.” Sydney Sweeney’s breasts are so magnificent, so powerful, that they have broken people’s brains. These are not people who watch “Euphoria,” because to them, “Euphoria” is leftist propaganda about young people doing drugs and having transgender gal pals. For them, Sweeney is not an actor, but an avenging Aryan angel. For several years, they have read her breasts like tea leaves, seeing in them their own hopes and fears proudly rising up against a world gone mad….
This razor-sharp analysis followed a handful of years of a microtrend: cosmetics and fashion brands making the commercially sound decision to be more inclusive — a recent example can be found in Ralph Lauren championing Black excellence with their new Oak Bluffs collection. Hanania and Hamm were among those who felt personally attacked by ads featuring plus-sized and nonwhite models. They insisted that it was folly of a woke mob “pressuring” all of us, as Hamm bleated, to “[pretend] everyone is beautiful.” For conservative culture warriors, the elevation of even one unconventional hottie was a slap in the face to tradition. To patriotism. To America itself. In Sweeney, they saw a protector whose glorious headlights illuminated a path out of stultifying political correctness.”

I used to think that.

Imagine my joy the other day when the car radio started playing an interview of Mark Levin by Hannity. I almost swerved into traffic to put an end to having to listen to it.
“‘Trump referred to it almost like a kidnapping. “Taking people” from the spa doesn’t mean the same thing as hiring them away. “They were gone” doesn’t really sound like she quit and got a new job, and “he stole her” doesn’t sound like Giuffre was viewed as anything more than a piece of furniture by either Epstein or Trump. According to Trump, the important facts about this are that the Mar-a-Lago spa is first class and Giuffre never complained about him.”

I agree that Trump is losing people over the Epstein thing, but that’s just nuts.
“Head Hunting” is not the same thing as “recruiting,” right?
Well, getting killed and having your head shrunk is somewhat different from working for the new tribe.

Broke down
Former President Joe Biden expressed alarm Thursday about attacks on the rule of law and threats to civil rights under President Donald Trump in some of his most pointed criticism about the new administration since leaving office.
Biden, speaking to the National Bar Association in Chicago, did not mention Trump by name but his intended target was clear during remarks that only ran about 20 minutes.
“You can’t sugarcoat it. These are dark days,” Biden told the crowd of nearly 1,100 members of the predominantly Black legal organization.
The remarks echoed, at least in tone, some of his previous comments about Trump, portraying him as a threat to democracy and the rule of law.
Stupid fucking voters.
That speech must have been paid for by some adrenaline junkies. I can’t think of anything more dangerous/risky than putting Biden up in front of a black audience.
The potential for him to say something so off the charts racist had to make his handlers have a heart rate north of 160.
We should definitely listen to the guy who dropped out of the race at the last minute because he was too senile.
You can’t sugarcoat it. These are dark days
Sure, that’s the transcript, but you could easily believe he said faces and not days.
But enough about your administration.

I’d love to have my Congressman explain why he votes yes on these budgets.
“My friends, we need to face the hard truth of this administration, and that it has been to ease all the gains we’ve made in my administration,” Biden went on. “To erase history rather than making it. To erase fairness, equality, to erase justice itself. And that’s not hyperbole. That’s a fact.”
Muh legacy! STFU Joe.
To erase all of the gains you have made? Damn skippy, Sunshine.
This joker spent the first six months of his administration undoing everything with Trump’s signature on it, but reversing all of Joe’s good works is an unprecedented attack on Democracy!
I know I wish I could make the last four years go away.
I wonder what the “pay gap” was between what this organization paid Joe to give the speech, and what Joe paid the guy or gal who actualy wrote the speech?

Temporary
A federal judge in San Francisco on Thursday blocked the Trump administration, for now, from terminating Temporary Protected Status for people from Honduras, Nicaragua and Nepal.
Judge Trina Thompson’s decision postopones the terminations until November, when a hearing to discuss the merits will take place. It affects about 60,000 immigrants whose temporary protected status was set to expire beginning August 5. Most of them have been living in the U.S. for more than 20 years.
In her ruling, Thompson chided the actions of the Trump administration.
“The freedom to live fearlessly, the opportunity of liberty, and the American dream. That is all Plaintiffs seek,” Thompson wrote. “Instead, they are told to atone for their race, leave because of their names, and purify their blood. The Court disagrees.”
Soaring rhetoric destined for the history books. Bravo, bravo.
So protected status is only conveyed by presidential action? Congress passed no laws on the subject?
Immigration policy changes with each President.
The proles are starting to wise up to the fact that there is no temporary when it comes to refugees.
Minnesoda progs still get in a tizzy when the Feds make noises about the “temporary” refugees from the 1992 earthquake in El Salvador. How dare we think about sending them back to El Salvador? That country is still a shit hole. It would be inhumane to send them back.
And yes, now they add “especially after they’ve been here for 30 years” to the list of reasons they can’t be sent home.
If they’ve been here for 30 years, bill them $1billion/year past the first five and ship them to their country of origin, with a permanant ban on returning.
No matter how much I hate the left, I don’t hate them enough.
I read a couple of legal commentators predicting that the exceptions (mainly for class actions) would swallow the rule (no nationwide injunctions) after the big SCOTUS “win” on this subject.
And here we are. Constitutional crisis intact, Supreme Court shown to be toothless in restraining lower courts, and judicial tyranny marches forward.
“An Islamic center in St. Paul, Minn. has written a letter of support to lessen the sentence of a Somalian child rapist. The man abducted the 12-year-old girl from her backyard, bashed her over the head, and transported her in his car, where he raped her before she was able to escape.
Qalinle Dirie, 42, was convicted for raping the girl and was sentenced to 12 years in prison. He was found guilty by a jury trial of first-degree sexual conduct. After the conviction, the Al-Ihsan Islamic Center submitted letters of support for Dirie…
The Al-Ihsan Islamic Center said Dirie has faced “the challenge of starting over in a new culture.” They referred to the rape and conviction as “this situation” and said that Ahmed Anshur, the executive director of the center who had signed the letter, had “witnessed his love for his family and kids.””

Under the law that created TPS, presidents have the authority to grant protected status to migrants from countries experiencing conditions that will prevent them from returning safely, such as natural disasters and civil wars.
In 1999, Hondurans and Nicaraguans were granted TPS for the first time after Hurricane Mitch caused widespread destruction. Nepal was added to the list of TPS countries after a devastating earthquake in 2015.
Twenty five years later, they still can’t go back? That’s some serious devastation.
The law says presidents can grant the status. But apparently they cannot revoke it.
Nothing is as permanent as a temporary government program!
Grassroots concerned constituents
Rep. Bryan Steil (R-Wis.) was heckled and booed during a Thursday town hall in his district over a slate of GOP policies, including immigration, the “big, beautiful bill,” and President Trump’s tariffs.
Steil faced particular criticism of the administration’s aggressive deportation campaign, drawing jeers from the crowd as he attempted to answer.
“What I view is the moral hazard created by the Biden administration by allowing the U.S.-Mexico border to remain unsecure,” he began, before pausing and shrugging his shoulders as the audience began to boo.
An audience member later in the town hall referred to Alligator Alcatraz, the recently constructed detention center in the Florida Everglades, as a “concentration camp.”
Other audience members went after Steil for being too closely aligned with Trump.
They just want answers.
How many of his “constituents” hopped back on buses to Madison and Milwaukee?
The booing the immigration stuff gives it away. It’s one of the few things a large majority of his base is happy with.
The left is lying liars and their support is nearly 100% astroturf. The very few genuine supporters I know are textbook useful idiots. Why anyone pays attention to them is a mystery to me.
On Pie’s men/women words: I read all of them to my wife. She knew all of the women words, none of the men words. The opposite was true for me.
I am shocked at the accuracy of that poll.

“A young woman has died after collapsing on a bus in Brazil with 26 iPhones glued to her body.

Poisoned Apples.
What did she use for glue? Cyanoacrylates?
There might be a clue in that name as her symptoms sound exactly like cyanide poisoning.
If you’re going to attach something to your body, use medical tape.
Though I’m unsure how cost-effective that is in Brazil. They combine the first, second, and third worlds so well there.
I’m thinking, the glue might not have been approved for use on humans…

They should make those with the jaw having a cutting edge so I can just take their heads.
You dont have a pocket knife?
Unless you have unutually deep pockets, I’d want a longer blade so there’s less risk of biting. (The grip location may not be perfectly at the back of the head for pre-severance biting, and a severed snake head can still bite.)
Y’all might be surprised to learn that being in Louisiana I have had a fair amount of contact with snakes all of my life. I have killed many by grabbing them and then poking them in the head or cutting off their heads with a pocket knife. The non poisonous snakes I leave alone. Around there are are only the moccasin, rattle snake and copper heads to worry about. If we didnt have grandchildren about now and then I probably wouldn’t bother them even. The biggest danger from snakes is not seeing them and stepping on them, i.e. defensive action by the snake. That only happened to me twice and both times I didnt see the snake because it was at night and both times I was fortunate that the snake did not bite.
I have been bitten once. Thankfully it was a moccasin and not the other two with neurotoxins. It was not as bad as people. would have you believe but it wasn’t something I would recommend trying.
Not snakeshot?
Maybe just leave it alone?
Snakes don’t hang around if there’s no food source. Considering some of the nasty shit that comes along with rattlesnakes’ typical prey (Hantavirus, Bubonic and Pneumonic plague, etc.), I’d just move the snake into the scrub and be thankful for it.
If I recall, the Deans have dogs, who would not be able to leave it alone, and even if the humans were willing to deal with the uncertainty of “where’s that snake today?” the dogs would get confrontational and end up bitten.
Like a zip tie tool, main clamp for grabbing, secondary handle for slicing.
It’s the good kind of gerrymander
Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday he will seek to call a November special election to have voters approve new House maps that boost Democrats.
By embracing a public vote, Newsom teed up a nationalized contest that opens a prominent front in national Democrats’ efforts to thwart President Donald Trump’s agenda. Newsom has vigorously embraced the party’s push to counter a GOP-friendly Texas gerrymander by buoying Democrats in blue states like California, arguing Trump has left the party no choice.
“I’m not going to sit back any longer in the fetal position, a position of weakness, when in fact California can demonstrably advance strength,” Newsom said at an unrelated news conference.
It would be an enormously expensive and politically perilous campaign. Newsom would be counting on Democrats’ anti-Trump message overcoming voters’ reluctance to return power to politicians for an explicitly partisan exercise.
Isn’t California losing Congressional districts? How do they “cancel” new ones in Texas?
I put zero confidence in polls and commentators. I have little confidence in my own prognostications. I keep hearing people saying earnestly in that head-shaking tone “The Democrats are delusional. They are going to be slaughtered in the mid-terms.”
We will see.
Never mind that California supposedly put this in the hands of a non-partisan commission!
Bwahahahahaha

“Paola Clouatre, the wife of Marine Corps veteran Adrian Clouatre, was released on Monday after two months in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention, with the help of Sen. John Kennedy (R–La.). Cloutare’s arrest is symbolic of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, which has mostly targeted people with no criminal record, despite his claim that he’s deporting the “worst of the worst.”
….
Like the other 65 percent of people taken by ICE this year to meet a quota of 3,000 arrests per day, Clouatre had no previous convictions. Yet, despite posing no threat to public safety—and having demonstrated her willingness to cooperate with the immigration court system—ICE chose to keep Clouatre in a detention facility in Monroe, Louisiana.”

This is what it looks like when the worst kinds of power mongers panic because they feel their power slipping away. I dont think we are seeing the worst of it yet.
