To be fair, the DNC has always been racist, so they’re not wrong.
““He called us the other day and he said, ‘I’d like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I’d like to contribute, personally, contribute any shortfall you have with the military, because I love the military and I love the country, and any shortfall, if there’s a shortfall, I’ll contribute it,’’’ Trump said during a roundtable meeting with his Cabinet.”

Maybe it is just me… but “pipe bombs” feels more appropriate here. The nonchalance of the way the cops were acting around it when they “revealed them” and called higher authority.. the fact that nothing happened for the longest… it just all says to me it was a fallback “domestic TERRORISM!” option for Pelosi if the J6 rally folks didn’t take the bait to storm the barricades.
And given how long it has been — I don’t have any real confidence we’ll ever know one way or another, barring asking in the afterlife of course.
Morning all.
At this point I would not be surprised if it was Nancy herself placing the “bombs”.
The whole thing was shady AF along so many other things that day.

I’d really like to see the phrasing on this (yeah I just skimmed the article… maybe it is in there and I missed it).
Because if the “Rich” are oh… paying the government to censor you, lock you up and shoot you… yeah — maybe some revolutionary violence in self defense is called for. That would suffice for “Sometimes”. If it is just the politics of Envy fostered by their

There’s an unholy alliance between government and companies seeking to undercut the labor market in these stories (bringing in the illegals, granting amnesty, giving CDLs / looking the other way, etc.). Frankly, I want the companies prosecuted for knowingly putting these yahoos on the streets and every member of whatever level of government also prosecuted for conspiracy and depraved indifference.
But “qualified immunity” and whatnot is more likely going to happen. grumble bitch moan complain…

They likely had tribal oligarchies or tribal monarchies, with oral record of laws. So it was technically a form of government, just not a very stable or sophisticated one.

Organization does not make a government.
@fourscore
Know it’s way too late for anyone to read this, but actually, no, not at all actually…
“Nation” refers to a group of people with a common language, common culture, etc.
(Hence the development of “nation-states”: a state that is based on a nation, rather than a multinational empire.)
It was only in the 19th Century or so that nationalists began to promote the idea of “nation states”: before that, it was common for nations to be divided amongst multiple polities (which were based on hereditary succesion, feudal obligations, etc.)

Probably the only time I sympathized with a DMV worker, I was at the DMV and the clerk was doing a road test with an elderly Indian man. Less than 5 minutes later is back and in a rage. Laying into the man’s family for putting her life in danger with a man that not couldn’t read or speak English and clearly had no idea how to drive either. Had she thrown punches I probably would’ve become incredibly interested in the color of my shoes for a moment
Yikes!
Last DMV employee I encountered was unusually friendly and let me preview my photo. 🤷🏻♀️
I’ve been stuck doing stuff online because they made the process of in-person appointments so onerous during the lockdowns and never made it easier.
*That said, I see DMV employees on a weekly basis because they’re in the same office building. I just don’t have cause to interact with them in an official capacity.
Moving here our interactions with governmental services has been pleasant. Less people will do that I guess. I have not had to wait more than 5 minutes to take care of business.
For consumer level interactions Kentucky government is generally pretty decent. If you need anything from their official records don’t expect it to be organized or searchable except by brute force.
I hate to admit it, but the last few interactions (lost license, replacement plates) I’ve had with DMV employees have all been quite pleasant.
So, red dot, not feather?
But, to ES’s point, pre-Schwartzenegger, CA DMV sucked yuuugely. Once he was in place, it automagically got better. Funny, that.

““The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs. The ad was for $75,000,000. They only did this to interfere with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, and other courts,” Trump wrote on Truth Social late on Oct. 23.
“Tariffs are very important to the national security and economy of the U.S.A. Based on their egregious behavior, all trade negotiations with Canada are hereby terminated. Thank you for your attention to this matter!””

A survey has found about 70 percent of bear attacks on human beings have occurred in areas where people conduct their daily livelihoods.
I’d have thought the attacks come where the people aren’t….
Probably several juveniles have discovered trash can, bird feeders, and other easy unsecured food sources on th edges of towns and cities
What’s the joke about bear poop smelling like pepper and having bells in it?
That’s the difference between black bears and grizzly bears.
There’s a reason you should go around loaded for bear.
Loaded for bear? Talk about lighting the Tonio signal.
There’s this .357 S&W Mountain Gun I’ve been looking at that I wanted to pick up. Not sure if it’ll do more than annoy them though.
@UCS

@Sean – I’m afraid I’m in the office, and the work proxy hates guns and ammo sites.
I’m assuming that’s a .357 round suitable for large game?
Yes, the description is right in the URL.
Anyway, .429 or .454 would be much better.
👍
Not sure how many hogs are in my neck of the woods, but we do get black bears.
Bear attacks are so vanishingly rare, that carrying a gun in the backwoods specifically for bear is a planning failure.
My backpacking gun is a .32H&R Magnum J-frame revolver. It’s for people, not wildlife.
If it can stop bear, it can stop human.
Bears are fast and have thick skin. You are unlikely to stop a charging bear with a .357 as the best way to stop a bear is to aim for the shoulder to break the bone.
Sure, and if that were the only factor, a huge hand cannon might make sense.
But there’s weight to consider, and concealability, and what exactly do you do with your N-frame Smith while you’re zipped into your hammock?
Hammock?
What do you think I’m doing out of doors?
What, do you sleep on the ground? In a tent? Like some kind of animal?
Nah, my friend, if you haven’t learned the joys of camping with a hammock, you are missing out.
Maybe that would have been a good idea for my wife.
The one time she went camping with me and the boys, after 2 days she was a little grumpy, and didn’t appreciate us having a great time.
I asked her what was wrong and she gave me a dirty look and said, “I am not a camping lady”.
I agree with ES, modern hammock systems are great. Less weight than a tent, but they do take more to set up.
You misunderstand – I have no intention of sleeping out of doors. By the time I’m bedding down, I’m back in a structure of some sort.
The worst night backpacking I ever spent was in a hammock. F those things! Trying to get out of it, and go take a leak, made it horrible, not to mention the curve in your back and the inability to sleep in a position other than corpse like.
No, I will stick to an Early Winters 1man with Thermarest.
Well, if I could still backpack.
Get one of those Boton Dynamics Robodogs and ride it.
😭 Only 30 pounds carry capacity.
I’m a dummy when it comes to camping.
I usually just pact the 45 acp.
I’ve been known to pack that and an ar before I was packing food and extra clothes for a little person.
The extra weight gets me with the fake ankle, bad knee and back.
I thought the bear attacks all came in bath houses…

I once went 100 days, yes days, in the army without a paycheck. In addition I had moved from France to Georgia. I was cutting hair in the barracks to stay afloat, as well as draining my savings. Fortunately I was living in the barracks and eating army food. Then it all caught up to me.

I wonder if any of those wanting to gerrymander the GOP out of seats notices that the New England states have 21 seats, all held by Democrats, even though Republicans usually get 35-40% of the vote?
“Perfectly Districted” – DNC
Who lost the Maine CD-2 race in 2024? Who got Maine’s CD-2 electoral college vote? And what parties are they?
I’ve seen talk of NH redistricting mid-cycle whenever there is news of Republicans gaining seats through redistricting. The plan is to make CD-1 more Republican such that it is a toss-up, and write off CD-2 to the Democrats. The thing is, Kelly Ayotte (Republican) has said she’d veto any redistricting legislation as unnecessary.
For both Maine CD-2 and NH, Republicans should stop shooting themselves in the foot with shitty candidates.
“But Shitty Candidates are all we have!”
THAT’S DIFFERENT!

Car accidents suck. I have a slight headache and I’m a little sore. Better than yesterday, but my wife convinced me to take another day off today. There are still phone calls to be made, to the tow yard, rental car company, and I’m waiting to hear from the lawyer. Now I know what all this “pain and suffering” talk is about. My life is completely disrupted because of that douche bag.
I’m sorry. Do painkillers help?
Yeah ibuprofen is working. They gave me muscle relaxers, but that conflicts with my blood pressure meds so I’m avoiding them.
Hopefully the headache is due to having to deal with all that shit and not the accident itself.
A bit of both.
As bad as this is, it doesn’t match the headaches of having a severely damaged, but not totalled, vehicle. That turns in to months of hassle waiting to the vehicle repaired while you are left to your own resources to find alternate transportation.
Speaking from experience. I had my truck damaged 500 miles from home. It took two months to get it fixed, and then I had to go get it. The other party’s insurance paid for the travel expenses of picking it up. But they did not provide a replacement vehicle for the two months it took to get my truck back.
I believe that. Last time my kid totaled my car, insurance didn’t pay for new $1600 hand controls. None of this is ever easy. Even though it should be.
That sucks.
We got into one wreck away from home that was a total.
Out the $1700 for the super cool 84 Subaru Brat, motel, and may dad came to get us. He let us pay for his fuel and motel.
Once the Adrenalin wore off was sore for a month. Driver of the other vehicle who was at fault didn’t even know it had happened. At least UPS didn’t press charges on us for hitting their semi next to us after the initial crash.
Don’t forget to sue of denial of conjugal rights.
I had a friend involved in a car accident. The other driver was at fault but got pretty banged up. The lawsuit vs my friend included 25 counts including denial of conjugal rights. Insurance company told the other guy to fuck off, by which I mean they settled for 25k. Even though other driver was drunk illegally drove across oncoming traffic and the cops wrote it up as such.
If I’m reading this correctly, the drunk guy got 25K?
After he sued when he was at fault?
CWAA
My life is completely disrupted because of that douche bag.
“But you have insurance.”
Every time I hear somebody say that I want to choke them.
Yep, when my wife’s 09 Corrola was totaled from an idiot turning left into her, we spent about a month with out her car and then I got $3500 for replacement.
Better than nothing, but not near what it took to replace it.
That’s what I’m expecting now. Keep your expectations low right?
It’s fine if you beat them. That is what insurance is for.
“Judge Guirola wrote, “In the opinion of the Court, Congress only contemplated biological sex when it enacted Title IX in 1972. Therefore, the Court finds that HHS exceeded its authority by implementing regulations redefining sex discrimination and prohibiting gender-identity discrimination.””

Gender identity wasn’t a thing then.
Does this mean I don’t have to pay for prisoner sex-change operations any more?
And Title IX refers specifically to sex with no mention of gender, and we’ve been told that sex and gender are different things. If they want to expand Title IX to include gender, then Congress needs to change the law. Of course the “good people” will probably consider my opinion to be anti-democratic and authoritarian.

Summary of the Amazon DynamoDB Service Disruption in Northern Virginia (US-EAST-1) Region
The root cause of this issue was a latent race condition in the DynamoDB DNS management system that resulted in an incorrect empty DNS record for the service’s regional endpoint (dynamodb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com) that the automation failed to repair.
Racism caused the AWS outage …
There are still bizarro DNS issues going on with some wifi tied to ATT.
I had to rorget and reconnect the wifi for my Nintendo Switch repeatedly through Wednesday. it absolutely refused to connect and claimed a DNS issues.
My phone still has mystery failures to connect which resolve when I switch from WiFi to cell service.
Once work ends today I am going to reset the router to see if that helps to resolve it.

Another casualty of Trump’s destruction
The rapid demolition of the White House’s East Wing, meant to clear the way for President Donald Trump’s massive gilded ballroom, has annihilated the office space traditionally assigned to the first lady and her staff. Though it seems an obvious slight to a role whose occupants have struggled to be taken seriously, we’ve heard nothing on the matter from first lady Melania Trump. Her silence only highlights her approach to much of her husband’s second term — and how little she likely cares about the ways her husband’s unnecessary vanity project will affect her potential successors.
Maybe he’s planning a kitchen where future First Ladies can bake cookies.
Maybe Trump will add offices for the entire extended family.
I am tired of all of the crying about this.

The United States also spends $895 billion on defense, while Venezuela’s military budget is $3.9 million, only a fraction of that amount.
$3.9 million is technically a fraction of $895 billion, but outside of very precise physics applications it is hard to imagine a situation in which that fraction is distinguishable from a rounding error.

Excel agrees with your math.
But cash doesn’t make the military.
I don’t disagree, I just found the phrasing amusing.
If the move back to the Executive Mansion becomes permanent, it would be a regressive move that literally moves the Office of the First Lady away from the office and back into the home. It would at least be an on-brand decision from a White House that has rapidly rolled back decades of women’s rights and empowerment. But the lack of comment at all from Melania Trump on that shift underscores that, much like her husband, she has little interest in how her choices affect anyone other than herself.
That sounds like the behavior of a strong, independent, self-confident woman. What a bitch.
“a White House that has rapidly rolled back decades of women’s rights and empowerment”
They’re just making shit up.
And yet their readers slop up the most obvious lies.
It’s breathtaking.
Why would I blame anyone for the shutdown?
I want to congratulate them.
Buy them a beer and tell them to keep up the good work.
They are beating the fuck out of this drum
This year, Destinee Weeks and her husband, who manage a herd of about 250 cattle in northern Oklahoma, began to see a profit for the first time in a decade. So Weeks was shocked and dismayed when she learned President Trump was looking to import more beef from another country.
“ It feels like a slap in the face to rural America,” she said. “It makes you feel invisible and overlooked.”
I bet they are steadfastly opposed to bringing fuel and fertilizer costs down. Laissez faire free market fanatics, they are.
Why do you bury farmers only two feet deep?
So they can still get a hand out.
First Ladies should not have a staff paid for by the taxpayer.
They get free room and board, for crying out loud.
I pay for the White House. I should get to stay there when visiting.
The U.S. already imports a record amount of beef from other countries, including Argentina, according to David Anderson, a livestock economist at Texas A&M University.
The challenge with relying on foreign meat to bring down prices is that the U.S. is the world’s largest consumer of beef. Anderson said it’s unlikely that Argentina has nearly enough supply to satisfy America’s appetite.
“They just don’t have the kind of supplies that they could export to us that would make much of a noticeable impact on U.S. beef prices to consumers,” he said.
Which is it? Argentine beef will crash the market, or it will have a negligible effect?
Well, that depends – Are we talking Gaucho beef, or beef with a suspiciously German surname?
Gaucho Beef should be a Glibs handle.
Gaucho Beef was my porn name.
Mt fear is that Trump will decide “OK, let’s subsidize American Beef until the prices come down.”
Reading that made my brain hurt, but it wouldn’t shock me.
Mt fear is the inland remake of that movie where DeNiro acted significantly less insane than he sounds when talking about politics.
Beef is good for you.
I want to be able to buy more of it.
I want to stop paying to prop up unprofitable farmers and ranchers in the U.S.
Cut regs
End tariffs
End subsidies
Keep them in the stone age, where they belong
Meda DeWitt, Alaska senior manager with The Wilderness Society, said that with Thursday’s announcement the administration “is placing corporate interests above the lives, cultures and spiritual responsibilities of the people whose survival depends on the Porcupine caribou herd, the freedom to live from this land and the health of the Arctic Refuge.”
Liberal zookeeper wants all her pets to stay just as they are.
Porcupine caribou??
Leaders in Indigenous Gwich’in communities near the refuge consider the coastal plain sacred, noting its importance to a caribou herd they rely upon, and they oppose drilling there. Leaders of Kaktovik, an Iñupiaq community within the refuge, support drilling and consider responsible oil development to be key to their region’s economic well-being.
Translation, Indians who don’t live there want in on the profits the Indians who do live there are poised to reap.
What’s Stone Age for “Take me to civilization, please!”
Land swap that makes the federal holding larger.
Fuck no.
Sell it ALL.
The Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group, said the latest land agreement would exchange about 500 acres (202 hectares) of “ecologically irreplaceable wilderness lands” within the refuge for up to 1,739 acres (703.7 hectares) of King Cove Corp. lands outside the refuge. Tribal leaders in some communities further north, in Yup’ik communities in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region, have expressed concerns that development of a road would harm the migratory birds important to their subsistence ways of life.
“Along with the Native villages of Hooper Bay and Paimiut, we absolutely plan to challenge this decision in court,” said Cooper Freeman, the center’s Alaska director.

It will be a six lane interstate, jammed with leaky oil trucks going 80 mph all day and all night.
I’m pretty sure caribou, deer, and elk do just fine in oil fields. They certainly don’t seem scarce in the ones I have seen.
You mean the industry that only needs to poke a few holes in the ground and can use elevated pipelines to move the material out doesn’t disrupt the activity of local fauna?
Shocking isn’t it?
They like the warm pipe lines.
Like a stopped clock’s accuracy Mamdani has a point about “gifted toddlers”.

Reading that article about NYC schools, all I can do is ask myself why anyone would put their child in the NYC school system.
For the same reason that some parents push their child to be trans. Fashionable virtue signaling is the most important thing in the cult world.
Why give your kid to the state at all?
I want the full privatization of all levels of education.
The clowns that say they value and care for education will never open their wallets to pay for it. Only mine.
