That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
whaddup doh’
Hey Banjos. How YOU doin’ ?
Morning, Banjos.
I’d comment on the links, but decided against it.
You don’t want your private phone records subpoenaed?
When did I get elected Senator?
They’ll get to bureaucrats eventually, to root out the wrong-thinkers.
My phone records are actually less incriminating than my work internet history – which connects to you bozos and which requires no subpoena.
Connecting to us bozos is its own punishment, no threat by a court needed.
“Put some f’n salt and pepper on it for cryin’ out loud!” – 3 letter boi in charge of monitoring UCS
There’s a sizzling hot take.
The thing I find most depressing isn’t the fact that the Democrats are now openly dedicated to destroying Western Civilization. It’s the absolute mind numbing stupidity displayed by our entire spectrum of politicians. Most of these people are not even mediocrities; mediocrities shine as leaders among them. We are ‘governed’ by incompetent amoral morons.
and Mornin’ Banjos.
This moron seems to think there is a Republican party that wants what he wants; and that Trump has some agenda – presumably not Project 2025 (since that was Heritage and I suspect he finds them suspect) – other than Trump being his mercurial self (viz the whiplash on releasing the Epstein materials).
The growing chorus of Trump personality cult members denouncing people they loved a month ago for ‘betrayals’ when someone dares to question any of his random sea changes is definitely part of what I am talking about. So is the insane obsession with every stupid idea or conspiracy theory that pops up. It no longer surprises me when Republicans snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I fully expect them to waste any opportunity to roll back spending or regulation, and instead to spend their time in the majority searching for a fan to stick their naughty bits into.
You’d think they have no more bits to give
I mean, what do you expect? Not only are you reading TownHall, but you’re reading a Kurt Schlichter editorial published on TownHall. You should consider yourself lucky that it wasn’t written on the wall in Kurt’s feces…
Damn ES, too bad it wasn’t. Then I wouldn’t have found it at RCP. I admit I was curious just what kind of assclownery it was.
This moron seems to think there is a Republican party that wants what he wants;
That article is a lot of words to say “KILL THE WRECKERS! KILL THE KULAKS!” Yeah, yeah, I read the headline.
Kurt Schlichter Is retarded. Massie is one of only a handful of republicans elected to high office in the party. He needs to read the party platform and change parties.
I have to second this. And third it.
The advice our founders gave us is more than just sound yet we continue to ignore it.
Do not concentrate money and power. It draws the worst kinds of people who are much, much worse than you think they are.
Morning all.
Wow. So, everything I thought about the Dems is true. Shocker.
Jan 6 was a false flag operation, full disclosure of the Epstein files will likely exonerate Trump and Trump genuinely does want plentiful, cheap energy.
Still not thrilled with randomly blowing up boats and killing people – thanks Obama. But at least this was the Pacific and not another step into Venezuela regime change.
The not-so-subtle march into Venezuela is concerning.
Oh to be a fly on the wall in meetings on how this all fits into his “peacemaker” moniker
Yeah the “Maduro in charge of a cartel” and yeah, just trust us about that.
I mean a communist State is generally run much like a criminal organization, so I don’t really object to calling it a cartel on accuracy grounds. To my mind it is a weaker indictment of Maduro to call him a cartel leader than what he is, a murderous tyrant.
Isn’t Trump supposed to love all murderous tyrant dictators? The Narrative should be cracking just a little on this.
Waiting for some lower court judge to negate the reapplication process for food stamps.
also block eligibility verification …
If the Trump administration were smart (😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂)
Sorry, I had to take a break I was laughing so hard at the idea of the Trump administration being smart.
They should have bee destroying records of who was getting SNAP funds so that if a judge tried what you suggest, FedGov wouldn’t be able to comply.
Federal Records Act forbids that. The states also would have those records since they administer the programs? I seem to recall reading something recently about some states NOT coughing up SNAP records when the feds requested them.
“[State] has given a list of Zero recipients. Therefore there are no people eligible in [State] by the declaration of their government.”
Yes States administrator the program with Federal “oversight”. And I agree, if States refuse to open books, no funds and you must re-enroll any persons
Then the states can pay for it.
Actually, when it comes to the law I think he has been pretty smart. The cases that have been brought up the chain and those that are still in the system were not chosen by accident. I could see this issue being something he wants in front of courts.
There are no commercial nuclear reactors being built in the U.S. However, several previously closed power plants plan to open again, and there are plans to build new large and small reactors.

How much of the public at large has the personal cell number of a congresscritter? Sorry “Territorial Delegate”
I had a state house guys number once. He’s in prison now.
In local news:
https://revolver.news/2025/11/texas-sheriff-arrests-vet-for-political-meme-then-sets-up-a-hotline-to-report-more/
Tell me tomorrow’s headline is “Texas Sheriff arrested for violating the constitutional rights of citizens.”
Sorry, he has immunity and it was done in “good faith” /signed The Man.
Abuse of authority to deprive a citizen of constitutional rights is actually a federal crime. I don’t recall the exact statute number off the top of my head. I just know it’s not enforced enough.
Yeah that statute is what SCotUS turned into “qualified immunity”, where no such words exist in the statutory language. We are doomed.
Uncivil: I remember an analysis of this problem from the tenth amendment group. The heart of the problem is that the plaintiffs even in the most egregious cases are so completely unsympathetic to the public.
Local case off the top of my head: Dopehead living with his elderly parents demands dope money from them. They refuse. He then takes a shotgun and threatens them with it. When they still refuse he beats them severely with the gun. They are both in their late 70’s and somewhat infirm.
Sheriff arrives, sees what dopehead has done so they proceed to beat the living shit out of him. He ends up in the hospital for two weeks, then off to jail. He sues the sheriff but the court system turns him away.
This is a big problem. Even I had zero sympathy for the guy and thought….I will turn my head just this one time. The truth is that dopehead was lucky the sheriff got there instead of me.
More proof that people abuse power no matter their political leanings.
Also, reading ‘vet’ I assumed pet doctor or livestock physician rather than former military. Donno why.
As a vet myself I give veterinarians more cred for being good people than veterans.
Bethannica lives in that county.
I am irritated beyond belief by this guy and hopefully he will get a slap from the AG.
Sheriff since 2009…time to go boomer
So first off – let’s shit all over the TX legislature (and governor) for passing such a bullshit law.
Second, someone complained to the sheriff, he didn’t just do this all on his own (per the quotes from the complaint).
Third, now we can make fun of everyone involved starting with the sheriff but including the local DA who must’ve been on board with this.
Some Democrats aren’t as dumb as others.
Apparently they are and all just as mendacious. “Trump’s threat to democracy” <— confirmed lying idiot
The Democrats have been closet commies for a long time, each generation inching a little bit more out of the closet. I think Obama was the final dropping of the mask.
Now they are fully out and openly using the same old playbook they have used everywhere else.
I am not just talking the institution and elected officials.
Suthen, sip your coffee and read along…
This fear is putatively about
If you read that, that should put in perspective “Trump’s threat to democracy”.
The writer is also describing – without grasping that he is – that neither party has really come to terms with the end of the Cold War and American hegemony. DC still insists that we rule the world (when of course they aren’t even capable of ruling this country).
On the drug dealers I agree with the comments here on being a bit nervous about it but the other side of it is that these people are waging war on us via drugs as much as they are smuggling for money. It is as malicious as it is greedy. I have no problem killing these very evil actors but I worry where it might take us. Another thing lurking in the back of my mind is that the real bad actor here is China. They are at the root of this whole thing.
No. They are 100% smuggling for money. Drugs and slaves have the highest profit margins. If it wasn’t drugs, it would be medicine, or emeralds, or avocados, or home appliances – all of these things have been smuggled into the US by the cartels over the last thirty years.
A lot of the younger and stupider criminals, especially on the retail side, get a kick out of being bad guys. But the idea that the cartels are ‘waging war’ against the United States is completely unsupported by the evidence.
Nothing down outside of the sovereign territory of these United States is by right our affair.
Constitutionalists should be the most rigid about that.
The idea that shipping in drugs weakens us is a causation/correlation error. People see junkies overdosing, selling themselves to get a fix, and otherwise gradually killing themselves and blame the drugs. If they had no access to fentanyl most of these people would drink themselves to death. If they had no access to alcohol they’d just go slowly insane and kill themselves. The cause of their self destruction isn’t the medium they choose to self destruct, it’s something deeper and it doesn’t go away because we spend a few billion blowing up smugglers.
“down”? That was supposed to be “done”.
I am going to disagree. Maduro recruited his worst criminals from prisons in Venezuela and sent them here specifically instructing them to cause as much disruption and crime as possible. That was deliberate and calculated.
China is supplying the drug gangs with supplies to make dope for the express purpose of smuggling it into the US.
I would say that rises to the level of behaving as if they are waging war on us.
I think the problem we have is that CONGRESS REFUSES TO DO THEIR FUCKING JOB.
If we are going to wage war back, which we should, it needs to come from congress, not an executive decree.
I’d like to see some actual evidence of this?
First problem is that Maduro has the worst criminals in jail. They are instead his most loyal govt lackies.
Smoke em if you got em.
Juris is right.
They should be shot and left to rot at the border.
Jarflax is right too.
Things why I don’t want to see my money stolen to bring these jokers back with narcan.
Let them OD.
Given the Chinese involvement in the fentanyl trade, my belief that it could not happen without CCP involvement, and the long Chinese memory about the opium trade in China by the West in the 19th century, there is definitely some foreign government involvement in fentanyl, at least.
What to do about it is a separate question. Pretending this is purely a black market operation is naive, though. And that’s leaving aside the entanglement of misc. Latin American governments with the cartels.
Oops.
You’re expecting the State Department to have an accurate handle on narco groups?
Why?
State is competing with the Intel “community” here.
No doubt the US is playing this fast and loose, but this is just funny….
WP:RS tells me there’s no such thing as antifa either.
“A Prada-wearing dine-and-dasher with a penchant for Michelin-star restaurants has been posing as an influencer to score freebie haute cuisine — while ripping off some of the city’s top eateries, cops say.
Pei Chung, 34, of Brooklyn – who flaunts Prada heels, Louis Vuitton handbags and Hermes belts all over Instagram – has been arrested five times since late October for indulging at local high-end restaurants such as Peter Luger and Francie in Williamsburg, stiffing staffers and then blogging about her stolen fare, police and law-enforcement sources told The Post.”

Looks like she needs food.
Three hots and a cot for a few years.
Seems like the arrests are the cost of doing business. Maybe dine and dash is part of her brand.
That’s a weird kink.

Not a rare event. Standard operating procedure for bird smuggling.
I thought that kind of underwear was for smuggling budgies, not parakeets.
Smuggler takes it just less than halfway?
I once sat next to a guy on a plane, who had a briefcase containing ten live hummingbirds. They had been carefully wrapped in gauze and put in little foam cutouts in the case. He spent the entire flight with an eyedropper of sugar water, carefully feeding them about every five minutes. Apparently this is how you transport hummingbirds (when you need to transport hummingbirds.)

“An online social media account that has been linked to would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks shows the shooter appeared to have a “furry” fetish, and it also described him as having “they/them” pronouns, according to a report from the New York Post.
The Butler shooter had online profiles on the DeviantArt platform under the usernames of “epicmicrowave” and “theepicmicrowave,” the outlet reported. The social platform is an online hub for those in the “furry” community, or those who have an interest in anthropomorphized cartoon animal characters, which is often a sexual fetish.”
https://thepostmillennial.com/thomas-matthew-crooks-went-by-they-them-on-deviantart-linked-account-reveals-furry-fetish-report
Who knows?
Really what is coming out was about a young man who was highly primed for grooming (sexual, radicalism, etc)
That is an outright slander – furries are just one of the panopoly of kinks you can find represented on DeviantArt. It’s like the Golden Corral of fetish artwork (with respect to both the variety and the quality.)
Cooks…dude was just a mess. Getting clipped by a police sniper was probably his best possible outcome…
We won’t kink shame you for your Golden Corral fetish, ES.
ISTR a certain regular Glib commentator/contributor with a DeviantArt account. And strangling gloves.
That account is old and longstanding. The degenerates moved in later.
The site is basically dead after it started offering AI slop assistance.
I had an account there about a decade ago. There was some descent artwork. But it seems it’s a good thing I left.
Thinking about what a Golden Corral fetish would entail…please, kink-shame me for my own good. With an axe handle, if necessary.
(P.S. – you’ll never look at the beef and macaroni the same way again…)
I’m not going to give you grief over your enthusiasm for WH30k cosplay.
HEY! Golden Corral is awesome for Tday. No cook, no clean, no putrid set-Tday-menu grossness like Cracker Barrel. Boy, was THAT a bad idea.
I miss Boston Market
@OBE
Same here.
Cook shaming is rude if you are a guest, otherwise shame away
😨
I knew the one near me had closed, but I wasn’t aware they’d collapsed that badly.
That is sad. Boston Market was pretty great. I don’t know what kind of crack they put in the red-skinned mashed potatoes, but I don’t think I’ve ever had better.
Huh. I didn’t know that the existing Boston Market near me was that rare.
Take-out sit-down “home-cooked” meals seem like a no-fail proposition since so many people can’t be arsed to cook. With restaurants taking it up the pooper during the Plague, you would think they would have thrived. The Boston Market in Tucson closed several years ago, though (can’t remember when).
It only takes a couple of bad decisions to have your business end up in a financial no-win situation.

Personally I find your comments mercurial.
““Tucker Carlson had an interview with anti-Semite Nick Fuentes. What role should Carlson play in the conservative movement?” a reporter asked President Trump.
“Well, I found him to be good. I mean, he said good things about me over the years. I think he’s good. We’ve had some good interviews,” Trump said.
“You can’t tell him who to interview. I mean, if he wants to interview Nick Fuentes, I don’t know much about him, but if he wants to do it, get the word out. People have to decide. Ultimately, people have to decide,” Trump said.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/trump-has-perfect-response-gotcha-question-about-tucker/
Trump had dinner with Fuentes and Kayne.
Yes, as written in the article.
I mean, between those guests, which one would be the most memorable?
The answer obviously was the big-tittied hoes that they brought along as dates.
Does Fuentes swing that way?
“People have to decide.”
That fucking fascist.
he said good things about me over the years
Trump’s gold standard.
What is hilarious is his enemies will gloss over that very statement and not realize they can get what they want if they follow said gold standard.
That’s what was funny about Pelosi in opposition – she knew exactly how to play him.

On July 24th, 2015, Facebook[1] page Slimming World shared a weight loss story of Newcastle charity worker Derek Avery who lost 247.5 pounds (112 kg), more than half his body weight, after being diagnosed with diabetes and being insulted over his weight. The page also uploaded a video containing multiple photographs of Avery before and after his weight loss, including a photograph of Avery holding a pint of beer in his hand. Avery was named “Man of the Year” by Slimming World that year. The video gained over 152,000 views on Facebook[2] and 20,000 views on YouTube[3] in seven years (shown below).
I never knew that until today.
He wants a married one.
At some point you should realize that if everyone you meet you consider to be an asshole, perhaps you are the asshole.

Good morning, Glibs. Hope you all have a good week before the start of holiday craziness. Not Adahn pulled a great card for me yesterday, and I’ve got days off this week and next for therapy and my birthday and Thanksgiving, so I’m feeling optimistic.
Today’s links are a nice list of people you just don’t hate enough.
You’re feeling optimistic – are you feeling any better physically?
A little bit. The brain fog and memory issues are gone, now I get dizzy and the I get headaches later in the day because my visual processing is still messed up. I started therapy for that, and I see the specialist again on Friday. I have a tournament in NY on Dec. 3, but I’m assuming I won’t be ready.
Nonsense. Just queue up the Robert Tepper, fire up your training montage and you’ll be ready.

I love Rocky 4. And I’m a sucker for a good training montage. I am still able to get to the gym, so when I do return to hockey I won’t be completely useless.
For father’s day many years ago, my boys got me the Blu-ray Rocky movie set.
We spent the next couple weekends watching all of them, even Rocky 5, which was the worst one, but not as bad as I remembered it being.
Glad to hear you’re getting better.
The synth community can be very cool. A lot of generally nice people willing to help (unless they find out I voted for Trump, I suspect). It’s mostly friendly and non-political when we’re talking about the actual art of synthesis and the gear to make it.
But then the undercurrent is just straight commie nonsense. Even technical conversations can be covered up with this sort of bullshit….
While people agree and cheer it on. Shit drives me crazy.

Bet they wish they had a HOA.
How that passed the city zoning cabal (other than white guilt) is amazing. My dad back in 1986 had to tear down a shed cause it was too close to a neighboring property line.
Odd that the contractor didn’t question it either. Nothing like getting shut down mid-pour and having your project stalled over a permitting issue.
And setbacks are a pretty common thing outside of Galt’s Gulch.
Looks like shit construction to me on top of that – surprised it passes inspection.
Better to be handled by a HOA than by zoning restrictions.
Are those people paying the property taxes on that lot? Do they own it? No? They are a bunch of assholes, fuck ’em.
It’s Fairfax, Virginia. It’s a safe bet that everyone involved is an asshole.
That seems to cover many stories anymore.
Anymore, Ron? It has always been this way. Our natural tendency is to create a narrative that involves a good guy and a bad guy where the good guy wins in the end.
All of that is complete bullshit.

Maybe not interesting to experts on DA guns, but the function of the sear was enlightening, and it looks like there is a potential for my disconnector issues to be actually caused by the trigger bar spring instead. I will keep that in mind for future reference.
Used to have a 1911 that would double/triple fire on one pull of the trigger. It was….frightening. It took a few times for me to figure it out because the damned thing would shoot so fast it sounded like one shot.
I replaced the disconnector and that fixed it.
Something that’s a little frightening – it is possible to induce hammer follow on a series 70 1911 even without an ultra-light trigger.
Put a zip tie around the trigger and close it one click at a time, and you’ll eventually hit a point in the trigger travel where the sear releases the hammer, but the disconnector doesn’t intercept the sear.
No, this won’t keep me from using 2011s with sub-2# triggers. But it’s interesting to know.
I love those technical animations.

Another right wing populist domino
Kast was eventually introduced to a baying crowd alongside his wife. He was careful never to step beyond the outline of a pane of bulletproof glass which had been placed in front of his podium. Kast has been the only candidate to take such measures on the campaign trail. His nine children sat at the foot of the stage shrieking their approval whenever his speech crescendoed.
Kast, who thanked the other rightwing candidates and appealed for their support, is the overwhelming favorite to win the presidency.
“I think that there is an anti-party, anti-politics and anti-elite element which in this case has been expressed as a vote against a leftist government,” Claudia Heiss, a political scientist at the Universidad de Chile’s school of government.

In total, the rightwing candidates claimed over 70% of the vote, meaning that Jara has an uphill struggle ahead of her if she is to convince the electorate that her leftwing agenda and ties to the Boric government are worth persisting with.

Blah blah blah
Another member of the conservative Heritage Foundation has resigned following a video posted by the organization’s president defending Tucker Carlson’s interview with Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes.
——-
Carlson’s interview with Fuentes — who has previously expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler — received widespread condemnation for antisemitism, and the aftermath has exposed fault lines among conservatives.
It’s a silly question, and there is absolutely no way I’m going to watch it, but was all the furor caused by things Fuentes actually said during the interview or is it based on things he may or may not have said in the past?
A bit of both. Tucker went hard on him when he blamed “the Jews”, basically calling his christian bona fides in question for espousing blood guilt. He also went hard on him for describing women in dehumanizing terms.
Tucker didnt address it when Nick said that he admires Stalin, which Tucker later said he regrets.
The charges of antisemitism against Nick seem legit. Against Tucker, they seem to be smears to get him to stop talking negatively about neocons and israel. Ive listened to the relevant interviews (even the ones before Fuentes) in full, and the antisemitism charges dont stick. Hes sometimes guilty of being a bit conspiratorial and accepting conjecture as fact, but that’s not the same as hating Jews.
Thx trashy
Tucker didnt address it when Nick said that he admires Stalin, which Tucker later said he regrets.
What does he admire? Hitler was responsible for the autobahn, and Eisenhower copied them (or so the legend goes).
I’m sure he has talked about it at another time, but in the moment, it was just a throwaway line. Initially I thought it was bait.
In my dad’s wife’s uncle’s war book is a picture of a group of GIs standing on the autobahn near a concrete overpass that looks like a modern U.S. overpass. He bothered to take a picture of it with his limited wartime film.
