I’m on a mission this weekend- in the Jewish tradition, a ceremony is held in a graveyard about a year after the death of a parent or spouse. In my case, it was my mom, who died last year at the ripe old age of 92 and a life well led. This ceremony, called “unveiling,” involves the placement of the grave marker along with the requisite Aramaic recitations. So I drove down to my old hometown, and as always, couldn’t resist looking around, which is greatly depressing to someone who remembers a vibrant and growing city of nearly a million people. Now there’s well less than half that, and “seedy” doesn’t begin to describe what the once-lush neighborhoods have devolved into. Decades of hugely corrupt government and the flight of the productive have turned this into a spectacle almost as bad as Detroit. At least they still have the comfort of a fine football team… oh, wait… My childhood home no longer exists, having been burned down during one riot or another. The shul where I was educated is now an AME church where the pastor proclaims that he’s always armed to try to discourage the local yoots from preying on the praying. But I made it here, the cemetery is one of the few Jewish ones that has not yet been vandalized, and it’s far enough away from the city that we’re unlikely to be harassed by the usual Hamas supporters. We’ll place the stone, remove the cover, and I will recite some words written 2000 years ago in the local language of Judea. Mission accomplished!
Other missions accomplished are births, and ones from this date include a guy who wasn’t actually a boxer; a guy who definitely knew his limits; a guy who would certainly wonder where things went wrong for his philosophy; a writer who had a sense for temperature; the guy who truly turned the ’60s into a cliche; a guy who I slightly knew who had a far more sane grasp of gender than any 200 green-haired harpies (sorry, that was a gimme); a good actor who always seemed to be in bad movies and shows; a Team Blue guy who tried to have some principles and paid the price; a guy who definitely would not have been allowed to interview Cackles; a guy who is an embarrassment to Team Red these days but shouldn’t be; Team Blue’s expert on nuclear policy; and one of our true heroes.
Links, of course, have no heroes. And yet, here they are.
When toddlers have tantrums, ignoring them is a valid strategy. I passed by two of these rallies while taking my dogs to the kennel and, true to expectations, the attendees were almost entirely white and elderly, with a smattering of the usual green-haired freaks. And lots of very professionally printed signs, so at least the print shops got some business.

“The number of teen gunshot victims and teen shooters has exploded since the state’s controversial Raise the Age Law went into effect in 2018, according to new data obtained by The Post.
As of last week, 92 people under 18 have been shot so far this year – 96% more than the 47 shot in the same period in 2018, the year before the legislation enacted by leftist state pols fully took effect, raising the age of criminal responsibility from 16 to 18.”

“The accused vandal, Derek Lopez, was caught on camera speaking to a man standing near the table — which had been set up by students in the group to promote political YouTuber and comedian Alex Stein’s Oct. 20 event at the university, according to video, local police and various X posts about the ugly incident.
“Well, you know, Jesus did it, so you know I gotta do it, right?” Lopez, 27, of El Paso, Ill. — a teacher’s assistant and graduate student at the university — tells the man before the footage shows him tossing the table over, sending pins, flyers and other items rocketing into the air.”

“We encourage all members of our community to learn more about free speech rights and responsibilities at Illinois State University, including constructive ways to respond when encountering speech they may disagree with,” Woodruff said.

Wait….
This is a university, and now those in the community need special training to “respond when encountering speech they may disagree with”?
Isn’t being able to formulate and articulate ideas the primary fucking point of college? Why do the best and brightest in training need extra training to combat the uneducated mobs?
See, this is what happens when they call a cease-fire in Gaza. The pro-terror commies have to find some other way to entertain themselves.

Banning the sale of things almost never works.
Selling pets is illegal! Go to the rescue organizations and jump through 3 months of hoops, allow surprise inspections/searches of your house, and adopt an abused pit bull like a decent person!
That’s why some people give away extra dogs/cats. I’ve heard stories of some ladies that love cats and have several.

Newsom said safety concerns over the event forced state officials to close a portion of the busy Interstate 5 near the US Marine Camp Pendleton base on Saturday.
“The president is putting his ego over responsibility with this disregard for public safety,” the Democratic governor said in a statement. “Firing live rounds over a busy highway isn’t just wrong – it’s dangerous. Using our military to intimidate people you disagree with isn’t strength – it’s reckless, it’s disrespectful, and it’s beneath the office he holds.”
In an earlier post on X, Newsom had condemned the event as an “absurd show of force” and “totally uncalled for”.

“Faced with this reality, Democratic governors need more than legal complaints and rhetorical protest. They need fiscal strategies of resistance commensurate with the scale of the attack. And one of the most provocative – and potentially powerful – ideas available is the creation of state-administered escrow accounts, or “in trust” funds, to temporarily hold federal tax revenues until the federal government upholds its constitutional obligations and withdraws its authoritarian threats.”

Infiltration
The White House on Friday joined Bluesky, the social media platform of choice of many in the left-leaning online world.
In its inaugural post, the White House account offered a sizzle reel of the administration’s memes, trolls and messages from President Donald Trump’s nine months since returning to office. The post appeared aimed at tweaking liberals who aren’t fans of the Republican president.
The first post included mentions of the administration’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico, a doctored image of Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries adorned in a sombrero with a faux mustache, and stream of photos and video from other big moments in the early going of Trump’s second term.
“What’s up, Bluesky?” the White House said in a message accompanying the video. ”We thought you might’ve missed some of our greatest hits, so we put this together for you. Can’t wait to spend more quality time together!”
That has to be a violation of the terms of use.
Omg he really is invading Blue spaces!

Hopefully some lefty billionaire will come along and create another safe space for them.

She’s pretty much spot on identifying the problem, however she’s dead wrong thinking that it can be undone. Ain’t nothin’ anyone can do to change it now. I also think it’s why the Institutional Left, the most heavily feminized piece of the West, is so infatuated with radical Islam, the archetype of toxic masculinity if such a thing exists.
Things that are self destructive cannot last. It will be undone. It probably will take the West with it when it goes, but it will fall.
Islam will fill the void.
If nothing else, demography will be our downfall because nobody is having children.
My kids will watch the fall of the west and the rapid unscheduled disassembly of the Industrial Revolution.
“As debate rages on the frequency of transgender identification in youth, California’s pressure on public schools to hide students’ gender identity at odds with sex from their parents is facing a mortal blow.
U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez certified a class and four subclasses Wednesday to challenge The Golden State’s so-called gender secrecy practices, two and a half years after teachers Elizabeth Mirabelli and Lori Ann West sued Escondido Unified School District to stop muzzling them so they could inform parents about their children’s in-school identities…
While Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta, the State Board of Education and Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond dispute forcing any school district to hide gender identity from parents, that didn’t stop Benitez from certifying a class.”

Bullshit, you just can’t defend the indefensible.
From Q’s link:
These rational appeals had no effect on the mob hysteria.
No kidding.
My money shot was:
“women can complain when a workplace is run like a fraternity house, but men can’t complain when it’s run like a Montessori kindergarten”
Complaint would never get past the HR woman who’s screening the CEO anyway.
Any company with an HR department is not worth working for.
A Montessori kindergarten with extra mean girls. I worked for better than a decade in a 90% female company and while I saw some of the rudderless lack of leadership issues, the real poison was women who enjoyed playing fake nice manipulative games, both for their own advancement and sometimes just for the fun of isolating someone and making them miserable. I was largely immune from this, except that one of them did her best to make sure I was not consulted about things she knew I would oppose, but it ruined the productivity of several very hard working and dedicated women who had been there long before the manipulator.
I’ve been trying to understand the Leticia James case, and the whole mortgage fraud issue. Is it because there are special tax breaks or something that make “lying” the issue? Ideally it should be just an issue between her and the bank, since the property isn’t being used as the loan was issued for. I give you dollar, you give me donut essentially.
Banks typically give higher rates for secondary residences and she lied that the other home was her “primary” which gave her better rates. So she defrauded the bank.
I think it affected her taxes too.
Was she also calling them primary residences to taxing authorities or homesteading them for lower tax rates? That what I would also want to know. Usually both crimes go hand in hand.
Rental properties have actual quantifiable differences in risk for the lender, and accordingly underwriting criteria and interest rates are different. In this case, I have seen reports that she was repeatedly turned down for loans when applying with the property listed as a rental and then received a loan after applying with the property listed as primary residence. This is not a parallel to the Trump case in which the ‘fraud’ centered on Trump’s internal valuation of a an asset the bank independently valued. This is a deliberate lie as to a material fact in the transaction. Now, I agree that none of this should be a Federal crime, but it currently is.
Thanks for the insight. I’m surprised banks don’t call the note more often in these cases?
Calling a note most often means triggering a foreclosure, which means turning the risk of default into the actuality of default, which both increases the risk of loss, and negatively impacts the banks balance sheet in complicated ways. Banks tend to bend over backwards to avoid this.
I’ve wondered what costs banks incur when they call a loan.
Not at all anything I have ever been around.
Is it because there are special tax breaks or something that make “lying” the issue?
I have not seen any mention of the primary residence tax break angle. Mostly they claim she got a preferential mortgage rate by “lying to the bank”. Sound familiar?
I would guess that the tax break angle would be at the county level where property taxes are collected.
What I learned yesterday from the protests is that some people hate Trump and want him dead.
They want you dead too.
Some people did something.
From Slumbrew’s link above:
em>F1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali added: “It’s a perfect match to be hopefully, as soon as possible, socially relevant in a way that everyone can wake up and think about Formula 1 as you’re thinking about NFL or NBA or MLS.
“Maybe you might think of that as crazy. But that’s really what should be our target. People thinking about our sport – not only as a sport, but also as something that is more than that. And that’s really what we would like to do together with our friends at Apple.”
There it is. Racing? Bah, who gives a shit? It’s a glorious incredibly profitable circus. The on track action is just a sideshow.
The only F1 stuff I’m even mildly interested in.
