Jesus tap dancing Christ. Yesterday was squat day. I took the load on my back and went down all the way like always. All in a day’s work. Then when I really start to get my blood going on the elliptical, both my hips cramp up.
Getting old is fucking ridiculous.
Does 55 million seem absudly high to anyone else?
Bahahahahahahaha. *drags cigarette* bahahahahahaha
Short answer is no. A more complex and nuanced answer is fuck no.
Another day, another article about Boomernomics. Some of us aren’t fucking retards.
That’s bullshit, why can’t I ever find a place to buy stolen power tools?
I’m going to go stretch out my hip, need to stay limber on the job. You assholes keep it down.
No, not really.
Clients earning their red wings I take it… sorry about the sore hips — I imagine the repetitive stress injuries are endemic to your profession.
Morning all… on to the links (and thank you for them as per standard).
“I mean, this is a guy who literally celebrated the fact that, well, Putin himself said, sir, you know, mail-in balloting is, that’s not a, that’s not a, that’s not a — I mean, this is a guy who’s rigged all his elections, Putin, giving advice to Trump. Trump took it. I mean, what more sensibilities you need?”

Who is that?
Governor Hair Gel, Asshole extra-ordinary.
Ah. Mister Presidential himself.
Wiw.
“Wow”, even.
It’s truly Bidenesque.
Huh. I would have figured a lady of negotiable affection would know the neighborhood, which would of course let you know where to find stolen property.
I mean, good fences make good neighbors.
Boo! Boo this man.
Shpip has some competition.
Doesn’t Winston’s Mom seem more like the type to straddle the fence?
Probably depends on the shape of the fence posts and proper lube, I would think.
Why you badmouthing that beautiful lady?
Yes.
Nearing historical highs. It was doable back in the day before the left destroyed the “melting pot” and started throwing billions of tax dollars at them.
As someone that sponsored 2 immigrants a long time ago, the government expected that anybody applying for residency would NEVER go on government assistance. If there was even a small chance of that, then it was game over. I believe the people that made away with that rule did so to bring in the recent crop of America hating free loaders to help them skew the census, the power in the various states, and the voting.
In fact, anyone that was ever here illegally and took any kind of government assistance, fed or state, and that didn’t legit come here escaping communism, should NEVER be allowed to become a citizen.
Public school exists, so there was never going to be any circumstance under which they got *no* assistance. But if they are net contributors, I’m OK with that exception. Not sure how to measure that, though.
But all the other sludge like “translate everything into my language”, free health care for illegals, etc. etc. needs to end.
NEVER = EVER
“But if they are net contributors, I’m OK with that exception. Not sure how to measure that, though.”
If you were not a refugee from communism and you collected any kind of state or federal welfare (that includes healthcare but not public schooling other than free college for illegals), and you want residency/citizenship you should be send packing.
Note that this is not going to address the real problem that is causing this flux of illegal flood to change the country. we have Americans that want to destroy the American culture, especially the American middle class and the American dream, because they are globalist marxist and have an agenda. Believe them when they tell you they want to murder the bulk of humanity and return the rest of us to a one world feudal government that guarantees them and their offspring the largesse while the rest of us are basically cattle to do with as they please.
AlexinCT:
No. You have Americans who disagree with you as to what “American culture” is.
Alex, my ex- is one of those people that thinks we just need to be compassionate to those unfortunate souls. Has nothing to do with globalist Marxism!
Buying them a one-way plane ticket home is also “compassionate”.
It is not particularly “compassionate” to encourage millions of them to freeload off the rest of us.
“No. You have Americans who disagree with you as to what “American culture” is.”
They are not disagreeing with me. They hate American culture and want something else. That something else happens to be globalist marxism.
“Alex, my ex- is one of those people that thinks we just need to be compassionate to those unfortunate souls”
Yeah, no. Women, especially the majority ruled by their emotions and the need to appear virtuous to the mob they want to belong to because of their empty lives, want compassion because they never have to pay any direct cost for it. They are the ones declaring anyone should be allowed to move her, police should be defended, and crime is fine as long as it impacts others that should be stoic about it. The moment these compassionate women are going to be affected by the consequences of that compassion, it evaporates. Women with real stakes in the game know better than to think you should inflict this shit on others.
Repeal the 19th.
Fuck I hate autocorrect. the entry saying defended = defunded for the po-po.
AlexinCT:
Define American culture please. As a reference, does it match this one?
Women with real stakes in the game know better than to think you should inflict this shit on others.
Repeal the 19th.
So you’d screw over intelligent, competent women to run over those who aren’t. Not to mention you’re not getting at the Tim Walz’s of this country even repealing the 19th.
“So you’d screw over intelligent, competent women to run over those who aren’t.”
Actually JI, I adopted this position on the 19th after smart women told me that should happen. They know they are in the minority and realize they tend to be the ones impacted by the stupid.
Public school exists, so there was never going to be any circumstance under which they got *no* assistance.
CA Proposition 187 tried.
Yeah & wow what a different California from now.
If they did it legally and came over the past 6 or 7 decades? I have no problem with removing anyone that is here and is anti American being looked at and removed, but people that came here legally, going through that process, assimilated, and are hard working citizens. Yeah, I can see an argument for checking people given citizenship during Obama 3.0 (and his previous 2 admins), but we are not gonna reverse decades of immigration.
That probably includes the bullshit asylum seekers.
Likely.
How many Somalis and el Salvadorans (fleeing a volcano, decades ago if I remember) they can go home and take their kids with them.
A little — but given the H1B and other “replace US workers with cheap ones beholden to us as much as possible” combined with “They’re legal ‘refugees’ because their countries are crapholes and we want more easy voters”, I can’t say I’m terribly surprised.
If they are “asylum seekers” and legal.. I’m all for revoking that where the “temporary” asylum is decades old or the country in question / situation isn’t actually a threat.
If they have their green cards or visas (even H-1Bs) already, leave them alone. They followed the process, that’s what we want. Want to cut down quotas? There’s Congress — dicking around just across the Mall and lusting after sneaking in a mass asylum in any bill you ask for… yay.
I imagine what they are doing is checking names against arrest records. Have they committed any crimes? That sort of thing.
Stop throwing free cash at them and they’ll go home. It really is that simple.

But how will the marxist benefit from the whole replacing the voters thing if you stop their ace card?
Ding! Ding! Ding! Rhy gets it.

Oh please implode already, shut up and go away. Useless incompetent twit — only the SacTown supermajority makes this asshole “relevant” and term limits will take care of him soon enough.

Government media and a free country are not compatible. You cant have both. What we see with our public media is exactly what you would expect: it is run by a bunch of commie shitweasel statists.
Yup. It is so obvious but half the country is too stupid to see it.
I suspect too many of them do see it just fine, but because it favors them, they don’t care and cheer it on. That makes them seriously more dangerous than someone that was just not smart enough to see through the manipulation, lies, and criminality.
(Psst, rhywun, what’s your aforementioned favorite DCD song? Have you seen Baraka? Have I asked this before?)
Alex, agree there are those, but they aren’t the majority of that crowd.
Tox: I wanna say it’s “The Host of Seraphim” which appears at the end of “The Mist” in an alternate form. Her voice is truly otherworldly in that one.
I have not heard of “Baraka”.
I don’t know about rhy, but my favorite DCD are the ubiquitous mr lovegrove and cantara
“Baraka” makes me think “Mortal Kombat“. I see more than one musical group whose initials are “DCD”, and it doesn’t strike a chord with my brain – anyone care to enact the labor to elaborate for me?

Did Trump annex Canada last night while I was sleeping?
No.
Visas…deportations….invaders….the Dims….
Economies and government are born of the culture thus the culture war. The left is trying to destroy our culture and replace it with a serf culture. If you cant make them, import them.
With deporting illegals and defunding USAID I can see why the left is losing their shit. Trump is in many ways the president I have waited my whole life to see and had little hope of ever seeing. I have hopes for this one and that one but Trump is actually delivering.I like it.
Same with the sexual deviants.

Leave Senator Graham alone.
““Russia has not changed its goal: drag Ukraine into a new Russian Empire. Moscow has demanded that Ukraine cede territory it already holds and the remainder of Donetsk, which it has been unable to conquer. Zelensky will never do so. Meanwhile, meetings will continue because Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, but I don’t see these talks making any progress.”

“The Cincinnati police union slammed a criminal case being brought against a victim in last month’s viral beatdown over the man’s alleged role in the violence.
A 45-year-old White man was arrested earlier this week … charged with disorderly conduct and has been ordered to appear in court on Aug. 26. He is the eighth person to be arrested for his alleged involvement in the beatdown….
However, Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police President Ken Kober ripped the arrest after previously accusing the Pureval administration of exerting pressure on law enforcement to find a crime to charge the victims with.
“City Solicitor [Emily] Woerner and the Pureval administration’s blatant political meddling is the most egregious I’ve witnessed in my career,” Kober said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Overruling law enforcement and prosecutors for cheap political points is a disgraceful stain on our city, and those responsible should be utterly ashamed of themselves.”

The legal system in blue controlled areas is thoroughly corrupt and will not give you any kind of justice. They are pro criminals and against law abiding citizens. Period. And they use marxist praxis to hide that.

How about this – Unplug your internet connection, recalibrate your understanding of human nature to grasp the basic fact that no person is perfect, touch grass, talk to humans while at least trying to act same.
Isn’t there an app that can do all that for me??
If you care about any program or data — you can’t rely on someone else’s server to hold it. Welcome to the reality of the “cloud”, folks.
But I’ve been yelling this rant at the sky for years now and the younger generations don’t give a shit. (Nor do the “offload all our IT” folks). Don’t expect that to change.

UCS:
When the tornado came through last year, cash on hand was an important thing. No internet meant no CC processing or app payments. I didn’t feel that the level of urgency required me to forcibly rob the ice cream stores for dry ice, so I was happy to have an alternate form of currency that they would accept.
There’s a meth-head outside right now yelling at clouds. Does that count?

UCS:
We’ve been surprisingly chill about power outages here. The blackout of 2003 led to a lot of bars opening their doors, and selling beer at a discount (as there were no coolers). And, as is our tradition here, we named a beer after it.
During the tornado outage, places outside the directly impacted areas were offering free ice and water to people from the impacted areas (if needed), and people were helping to clear trees and limbs when they could. No looting in the local area that I heard of. Of course, this is also a neighborhood where there’s a large number of armed residents (quite a few even put up flags letting people know about it).
There’s a meth-head outside right now yelling at clouds. Does that count?
The meth really ages you, especially if you don’t keep up with your skin-care routine – he’s probably not that old.
Power outage == mass looting isn’t as common as you might thing (or as the media has led us to believe?).
I’m thinking about the last big NYC power outage, when people spontaneously started directing traffic and the like.
Yup, I didn’t see any looting during that outage.
That seems to be more of a “race riot” type of thing.
Human beings are between two chairs. We’re no longer fully animal, but we aren’t yet reasoning beings. It leaves us prone to a lot of mental illness.
We’ll never be purely rational creatures, it isn’t our nature.
We’re certainly not evolving in that direction currently.
There is a band called The Mutaytor and their catchline was “evolution is too slow”.
Evolution is hard to see when you are in it.

He has been charged with operating an unregistered vehicle, attaching a tag not assigned, driving with a license canceled, suspended, or revoked, two counts of possession of a controlled substance with the intent to sell or deliver, and possession of a controlled substance, according to authorities.”

“This was followed by an acknowledgement of the unprecedented trend of excess mortality after Covid:
In past pandemics, you see a pull forward of mortality, and then you see a valley for the mortality that was pulled forward. That usually is the next year. We’re four years on, and we haven’t seen any kind of a valley, and when you see an average of a 6%, a 12% increase, there are some age groups that were still 20% last year, still 20% up.
In other words, based on previous mortality trends after disease outbreaks, we would expect an increase in mortality above the projected level the first year, and then a decrease back to pre-outbreak projections, or even below them, after that. But with Covid this has not happened.”

That’s a skill most people don’t have.
Yeah, she is as cute as they get. Also, people who have nothing left to prove are much easier to socialize with.

The very fact that there is a social aspect is repugnant to me.

I personally try to be as reality based as I possibly can be. Having said that, there does need to be a level of human-behavior observation and interpretation needed to prevent cheating techniques like pre-pasting, drawing a ROP interference call and the like.
I’m not going to fault the competitors for working the refs — gamers gonna game. I will sure as fuck fault any official that falls for it.
I just go for either straight-up bribery and/or blackmail.

John “the ‘Stache” Stossel had a video about the Lumbee tribe in North (?) Carolina who aren’t officially recognized and thus don’t receive the “benefits” that other tribes get.
They own banks, construction companies, and tons of other businesses. There’s no living life glued to the reservation with its crab bucket mentality.
Just saw this on Wikipedia: “In 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to advance the tribe’s recognition.[9]”
Please don’t fuck up the one group of Native Americans who are doing great. Some Lumbee executives in nice suits need to give Trump a tour of their big, beautiful, very tremendous offices and show him what massive winners they are, really the greatest, biggest winners, nobody’s ever seen anything like it.
All tribal treaties should have been torn up in 1924 when their members were made US citizens.
Looks like the tribe is about 640 people, making bank off of gambling.

“American culture”
The difference between our culture and the rest of the world really boils down to the notion of inalienable rights and strong property rights.
Before you scoff at the paltry excuses we have for those here try spending time in….well, any other country.
Most of the rest of the world would trade all their freedoms for free shit. There are too many of those people in America too now. And I am afraid the good times have made too many weak people.

Then comes a mini economics tutorial. Prices for some things usually stay the same or fall, like electronics, he says. Others rise, year after year, like housing, utilities and healthcare. These sectors have what he calls “cost disease,” which, like any disease, requires intervention. “Policymakers need to start treating cost disease.”

“Policymakers need to start treating cost disease.”
I’m confident further government intervention in the markets will improve things!
He’s from MA, what do you expect? 😉
That’s hurtful.
Way to ignore the difference in the product.
Electronics get cheaper because you are not buying the same product. They get redesigned, processes get improved, new technologies are developed that make it easier, new chinese slaves are rounded up into the factories, etc…
On the other hand, we’ve reached a plateau on efficiency for a lot of food products, we are prevented from expanding the housing supply, and people like the speaker are making it actively harder to make cheap energy.
the god damned marxist hate the laws of economics & human nature, and believe if they just do it hard enough, of course, while meaning well, they will force those laws of economics & human nature to conform to collectivist delusions. That, or they know damned well it will never work, but they don’t care. because the tools will all cheer for it until it goes horribly wrong, allowing them plenty of time to get more power, loot the coffers, and then stomp on the faces of anyone complaining or run away with the money.
Fucking evil shit.

“A man from Ohio has been charged with throwing a sex toy onto the court at the WNBA New York Liberty game. As he did, the dildo allegedly hit a 12-year-old girl in the leg, police said….
Burgess has been hit with 10 charges in the incident, including attempted assault in the second and third degrees, third-degree assault, second-degree menacing, second-degree reckless endangerment, third-degree obscenity, fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, interference with a professional sporting event and second-degree harassment”

fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon??
Case dismissed with prejudice.
$10,000 fine for the prosecutor.
Well, a guy got federal charges for throwing a sandwich…
He was aiming for a federal agent engaged in lawful official duties, and hit.
If it was against a fed in a fed district, no idea how they could be state charges?
It was a flippant sarcastic comment. Green dildo guys seems to have some ridiculous charges leveled against him.
Now do your run of the mill Pride event and the sexual displays therein.
That’s different!

Also, he should have forced NY to request that OH extradite him.
Have referees of Buffalo Bills games ever been charged with interference with a professional sporting event?
Have we all forgetten poor Smithy Robinson, who was battered to death with a fifteen-inch black rubber cock?
55 million would be about 15%, give or take. Seems about right. I would imagine it has been much higher at certain times in history.
google ai tells me the historical peaks were 14.8% in 1890 and 14.7% in 1910, but that the all time peak was 15.8% in January of 2025. I would have guessed closer to 20% in that earlier period.
Anyway, 15.8% may be high, but not absurdly so.
No, those numbers are absurdly high across the board.
Sigh. Knowing nothing about the company I always assumed SawStop was one of the good guys. I should have known better.
The Tale of the Rent-Seeking Saw
A company invents a finger-saving device—then petitions the CPSC for a monopoly.
https://www.wsj.com/opinion/the-tale-of-the-rent-seeking-saw-11b7bfb1?st=fPBhLD&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
That has been a thing for a while. It seems foolish. That device can be used on a lot more machinery than table saws…why not just license others to use your patented device? They would make a shit-ton more money.
From the article they tried that approach and nobody wanted to license it. I’ve no idea what the actual costs to implement the feature versus the license cost would be.
After you trip the device a new explosive cartridge isn’t cheap, but it’s cheaper than an ER visit.
So to expand – this was them trying to make the CPSC force people to license their tech.
“UN human rights agency says Gaza famine is direct result of Israel’s actions and may amount to war crime”
https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/aug/22/famine-benjamin-netanyahu-palestine-gaza-israel-war-latest-updates
Well, that settles it.
“
UN human rights agencyAnti-semitic Arab Propaganda Outfitsays Gaza famine is direct result of Israel’s actions and may amount to war crime”So, it’s the direct result of the Gazans’ actions and the Israelis did nothing wrong?
It’s a result of both Gazan actions in attacking Israel, and inaction during the entire existence of Gaza as Palestinian territory in doing anything remotely productive or human. The fact that a people who are entirely dependent on Israel for every material need, because they produce nothing themselves, are dedicated to destroying Israel, and still exist, is proof beyond any shadow of doubt that Israel has exercised a foolish degree of mercy in handling this war.
Cootie bugs and vaccines: All of the studies are garbage. Dont believe a word of it.
They fucked up by blatantly lying their asses off about the numbers. The numbers are faked so the studies are garbage. The fact is we have no idea what is going on.
“Cootie bugs and vaccines: All of the studies are garbage. Dont believe a word of it.”
At this point, as someone that venerated and prayed at the altar of the “Scientific Method”, I am gonna admit I believe practically all of it is fake. Suthen. And that is inevitable because after decades of these losers telling you not to trust any study paid for by the private sector, they had government take over that funding role, and that has been a million times worse, as these losers inserted their biases in it all.
The whole climate change racket should be blatantly obvious as a racket. It’s all doom & gloom, and the only solution these vampires keep telling us is acceptable is complete loss of freedoms for the average man, the murdering of 3/4 of humanity, and a feudal system where they control it all. Never an engineering solution that isn’t a big money racket. We would be building nuke plants like our lives depended on it to be 100% carbon free and if we really believed any of the predicted calamities were even mildly plausible.
Does 55 million seem absudly high to anyone else?
It’s a big country. You’ll barely even notice, most of the time.
Like the government has the resources to investigate 55 million people. Have they been able to track down more than a handful of those who committed fraud four years ago in phony claims for Covid money?
I keep seeing instances of “So and so has been convicted of…” related to defrauding those programs, but I don’t know how small a percentage of perpetrators are being prosecuted.
They’re still looking for the January 6th rebels.
That Big Balls guy is pretty crafty with a computer.
I would bet three quarters of them are crammed into all the obvious places where it becomes very noticeable. Like, your elementary school kid’s class all speaks Spanish kind of thing.

Normally I tap out when I hear social contract, but I kept reading. I get it, the roots of current economic problems go back far, but I still wasn’t impressed with the article.

The recipe for success in life has never changed. Have kids after getting married. Get married after getting a job.
The boomers were the last generation that uniformly played by those rules.
No conspiracy involved, unless you want to blame the breakdown of social norms on those dirty communists.
Boomers divorce rate was at least twice that of generations before, probably due to “no fault” divorce rules being established.
As soon as I posted, I realized I should have added ” and stay married” and then noted the boomers were the starting point of the breakdown of existing social norms.
But I believe the boomer’s kids are where the explosion of kids conceived out of wedlock began.
It’s the increase in regulations that overwhelmed the economy. At least taxes provide revenue. Regulations are anti-prosperity.

U.S. stocks jumped on Friday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell suggested a possibility of interest rate cuts ahead during his much-anticipated speech in Jackson Hole.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed higher by 865 points, or 1.9%, reaching a fresh high. The S&P 500 climbed 1.6%, while the Nasdaq Composite gained nearly 2%.
Get those rates back down to zero.
Cool; I’m sure my IRAs are happy today. But my bank stock is still $10/sh. lower than where it was in 2008. If it wasn’t for the 4.5% dividend, I’d have dropped it long ago.
At the Fed’s annual conclave in Wyoming, Powell said in his tepid speech that while U.S. unemployment remains low, “with policy in restrictive territory, the baseline outlook and the shifting balance of risks may warrant adjusting our policy stance.”
The central bank leader said in prepared remarks that “the balance of risks appear to be shifting” between the Fed’s dual mandate of full employment and stable prices. He cited “sweeping changes” in tax, trade and immigration policies.
Markets were last pricing in a roughly 91% chance of a quarter-point cut at the September meeting, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
Trump really wants it, but I guess we’re going to do it anyway.
Sigh. Guess I better lock a CD in 4.3% for now. Fuckers looks like they are going to continue to dis-incentivize saving responsibly in order to try an paper over the completely fucked debt economy.
“2016 Democratic presidential nominee and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she believes the Supreme Court is poised to overturn its landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which effectively legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, and that unmarried same-sex couples “ought to consider” tying the knot….
“It took 50 years to overturn Roe v. Wade,” Clinton said. “The Supreme Court will hear a case about gay marriage; my prediction is they will do to gay marriage what they did to abortion — they will send it back to the states.”
“Anybody in a committed relationship out there in the LGBTQ community, you ought to consider getting married because I don’t think they’ll undo existing marriages, but I fear they will undo the national right,” she said.”

Jackbooted thuggery
FBI agents on Friday morning raided the Maryland home of John Bolton, the former national security advisor to President Donald Trump and a staunch critic of the president, NBC News confirmed.
Agents also raided Bolton’s office in Washington, D.C., according to NBC News.
The raids are part of a “national security investigation in search of classified records,” a person familiar with the matter told NBC.
The probe is eyeing multiple instances of the use of classified documents in leaks to news media. The investigation began during the Biden administration, but did not go further before President Joe Biden left office in January.
He’s a proud patriot who will gladly go to the gallows for his beliefs.
I hate the weaponization of law enforcement but it’s very hard to get worked up about this one.

Watch your mouth
Third Way, a prominent center-left think tank, is aiming to shape the way Democrats speak to voters as they try to counter President Trump’s agenda, including avoiding words such as “birthing person,” “cisgender,” “the unhoused” and “Latinx.”
“In reality, most Democrats do not run or govern on wildly out-of-touch social positions,” the group alleged in a new memo identifying dozens of phrases that Democrats should avoid. “But voters would be excused to believe we do because of the words that come out of our mouths — words which sound like we are hiding behind unfamiliar phrases to mask extreme intent.”
“When policymakers are public-facing, the language we use must invite, not repel; start a conversation, not end it; provide clarity, not confusion,” it added.
The memo, directed to “All Who Wish to Stop Donald Trump and MAGA,” focuses heavily on words and phrases it says Democrats use as politically correct ways to signal inclusivity and diversity, particularly encompassing race and sexual orientation and identity
Keep your intentions on the down low. We’ll spring it on them after the election. After all, the voters are too dumb to remember what we were doing 18 months ago.
“It’s not our batshit policies that are the problem, it’s the messaging” – Democrat mantra for years
The organizers write in the memo that Democrats should “think about conversations with persuadable voters in your own life — especially friends, family, and co-workers — and consider whether the use of the language above would help or hurt your case.”
“Recognize that much of the language above is a red flag for a sizable segment of the American public,” they wrote. “It is not because they are bigots, but because they fear cancellation, doxing, or trouble with HR if they make a mistake. Or they simply don’t understand what these terms mean and become distrustful of those who use them.”
Democrats have been struggling to find the right messaging to connect with voters in the Trump era.
Or maybe those friends and family and neighbors have been hearing you poison the rhetorical well for years and know exactly what those terms mean.
No, no, Our positions are self evidently good, righteous, and loved by all right thinking people, therefore it can only be those idiots misunderstanding our messaging that causes us to lose. After all, no one except a literal Nazi could oppose replacing the evil cis-hetero white males with Non-Binary minor attracted otherkin of color, and importing poor oppressed jihadis (who some misguided fools might think are cis-gendered, male, heterosexual, and even caucasian, but who are rightly understood in intersectional terms as foes of whiteness and Judaism).
