Saturday Morning Second Thanksgiving Links

Warning: Contains Raclette. Swiss Approved.

It’s fortunate that we moved our Thanksgiving dinner to tonight- if we had done the canonical Thursday night dinner, my appetite would have been ruined by the odor of a rotting fetid performance by my beloved Ravens. And although it was snowy on Thursday, it was nothing compared to today, when we’ve had a foot of snow drop overnight. This is actually a good thing since I can chill the white wine and Champagne in the snow rather than taking up valuable fridge space. It will be a quiet celebration, no arguing politics across the table, no drunkles, no explaining how Obamacare is a good thing while holding a mug of cocoa. Just good food, great wine and beer, and my kids, grandson, and Prime.

Birthdays today include someone who was far, far ahead of xis time; a guy who had an effect on us all; a dude who was like totally tubular; a mere Christian; a decidedly non-heroic mulatto who was crooked even by congressional standards; one of the great composers of the 20th century; a C&W guy from the golden age of C&W; the one who couldn’t sing; a guy known for discovering talent and who was kicking ass well into his eighties; a guy I referenced numerous times yesterday; the Pride of Mega-Lo-Mart; a woman that Teddy Kennedy didn’t kill; one of my absolute favorite filmmakers; and an authoritarian piece of shit who gave us Rapescan and oversaw mass deportation at a scale greater than the current authoritarian pieces of shit (without a peep from the Left).

And speaking of pieces of shit, here’s some Links to chew on.

Some people have turkey as the traditional Thanksgiving meal. Some opt for other alternatives.

In the fine brainless panic tradition of Paul Brodeur and Rachel Carson, but this time with a race-baiting twist.

Here’s a beautiful example of populism in the service of an absolutely ludicrous proposition. Maybe pardoning Luigi is next?

“Don’t get in the way of our latest undeclared war.”

But we had been assured that the continuing resolution was a “clean” bill, just continuing funding, no new programs. It can’t be that Team Red lied to us. Right? Right???

If you want a perfect encapsulation of why I think academic science is irreversibly broken and useless, look no further.

Well, if an academic historian says it, it must be true. Can’t be propaganda because he’s much too smart.

Your daily sob story, this time about a guy who entered illegally and was part of a designated terrorist organization (that’s buried deep in the story, of course).

Timmy, ever consider that you might actually be retarded?

Oh, Canada, the True North Strong and Free!

Although he’s best known for some short movie appearances, the Old Guy would like to point out that Guitar Murphy is more than that, he’s a serious rocker.

    The turn signals on the rental are silent. I hate it. I can’t always see the dash where the indicators are. I don’t see anything that might be a configuration for it. I don’t think it’s a reliable relay system because the rental is one of these overly software dependant modern cars.

      Last night I hooked the door switch up in my new worktruck. The chime is terrible. And as it turns out integrated as part of the gauge cluster.

      It’s the same part as used in some GE microwaves.

      I’ll figure out how to bypass it after I figure out where the door chime/dome light relay is. There should not be a relay for that low voltage circuit but there is.

    “During a Thursday night Thanksgiving Truth Social rant in the wake of the previous day’s fatal shooting by an Afghan national of National Guardsmen near the White House, Trump, 79, described Walz as “seriously ret—ed” over his supposed stance on Somali immigrants “ripping off” America.”

    “The City Council’s far-left majority is pushing the Big Apple into a “communist dystopia” with Stalinesque legislation designed to control how private property is sold — and penalizing owners $30,000 if they resist.

    The “Community Opportunity for Purchase Act,” or COPA, forces sellers to let “community land trusts” and other nonprofits providing affordable housing make first offers to buy residential buildings with at least three units once they’re on the market – and then match competing private-sector offers.”

    “Cook County in Illinois has unanimously approved plans to give thousands of residents $500 a month in free cash…

    Cook County was among several local governments which began testing the program in 2022 with the help of COVID-19 federal relief funds, according to FOX News…

    The program provided payments of $500 to 3,250 low-income households for two years until December 2024.

    The pilot was considered the largest federally funded project in the United States at the time.

    Following its raging success, the Cook County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to fund the permanent guaranteed income program in the 2026 fiscal year.

    Funding for the program will come from the county’s equity fund and eventually may be taken from a federal pandemic fund.”

    “President Donald Trump said that he will be pardoning former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez on Friday.

    In 2024 Hernandez was convicted for drug trafficking and weapons charges and sentenced to 45 years in prison.

    The president explained his decision on social media by posting that ‘according to many people that I greatly respect,’ Hernandez was ‘treated very harshly and unfairly.’

    In March of last year, Hernandez, who led the Central American nation from 2014 to 2022, was convicted in US court of conspiring to import 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.”

      Rob Clark, an operations director at Urban Xtreme Ltd, said the popularity of its Rage Room was growing year on year, with customers ranging from younger people looking for a unique experience, to groups of women celebrating break-ups, and people using the space as a “healthy outlet” for stress or mental health challenges…

      But what could be putting young girls, and women, off marriage? Well, for women who date men, perhaps it’s the fact that this is what some men’s expectations look like: “At least 20 years younger”, “good breeder”, “taller than 5ft 6in and can’t be a Scorpio”, says 79-year-old baronet Benjamin Slade

      Yeah, because 200 pound women with neon hair on dating apps don’t set delusional matching standards like “at least 6 feet tall, athletic, good income, no Trump voters.”

      The biggest driver is that fewer men are going to college, and most women won’t date outside of their perceived class.

    Northwestern University has agreed to pay $75 million to the U.S. government in a deal with the Trump administration to end a series of investigations and restore hundreds of millions of dollars in federal research funding.

    ——-

    Under the agreement announced Friday night, Northwestern will make the payment to the U.S. Treasury over the next three years. Among other commitments it also requires the university to revoke the so-called Deering Meadow agreement, which it signed in April 2024 in exchange for pro-Palestinian protesters ending their tent encampment on campus.

    During negotiations, interim university president Henry Bienen said Northwestern refused to cede control over hiring, admissions, or its curriculum. “I would not have signed this agreement without provisions ensuring that is the case,” he said.

    Biden would have made them “contribute” that money to Black Lives Matter.

    “When the olive green charter bus pulled into the suburban civic center in a conservative area east of Cincinnati just after 9 p.m. on Friday, the women were ready.

    They loaded duffels and coolers and bags of snacks into the bus. They carried handmade “Impeach, Convict, Remove” signs, transgender pride flags, and the red hooded cloaks and white bonnets made famous by “The Handmaid’s Tale,” the dystopian feminist novel adapted into a popular Hulu series….

    For people like Judy Routhier, who boarded in Cleveland, the trip to Washington was the latest in a string of public efforts to oppose the Trump administration. This mother of four married to a military veteran said it was her 72nd protest since February. She brought laminated signs that read, “Hump-y Trump-y Must Fall! He’s on the Epstein List” and “This ‘Piggy’ Won’t be Quiet! IMPEACH. CONVICT. REMOVE.””

    “According to Port Orchard Police Chief Matt Brown, officers arrested a 16-year-old boy after he allegedly intentionally pushed a metal stanchion weighing roughly 16 to 20 pounds over a railing on the top floor of the school onto those below. The stanchion fell approximately 16 feet and struck two students who were sitting below. A 15-year-old girl who is a Navy Junior ROTC cadet suffered head injuries requiring stitches….

    Police arrested the 16-year-old at the school, a decision that drew criticism from some parents who felt the arrest should not have occurred in view of other students. Chief Brown previously issued a statement apologizing for the visibility of the arrest and acknowledged that his wording around the incident “was poorly chosen.” No officers were disciplined, though Brown said his department routinely reviews incidents to identify improvements.”

    “Rosie O’Donnell’s far-left politics appear to be rubbing off on her son.

    In an interview with former CNN host Jim Acosta, the exiled comedienne admitted her 12-year-old Clay, who is both autistic and transgender, would often bang his hands on the table in frustration when talking about President Trump.”

    Top notch parenting.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Just another kid ruined by a rotten parent. At least with mama’s money he’ll always be able to avoid therapy.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        “Avoid”? Afford.

      • (((Jarflax

        The therapy will probably be court ordered after he starts making his woman suit. The prospects for Rosie O’Donnell’s son run from Richard Ramirez to Ed Gein

      both autistic and transgender

      Common pairing, since autistic people tend already feel discomfited, and the activist class exploits it to convince them they’re gender dysmorphic, although I have every confidence that any child of Rosie O’Donnell was going to be a precocious tranny regardless. The evil cunts responsible for doing that to their children should be fast tracked to hell.

    “You know- a DEAL deal.”

    A leaked recording of Witkoff advising Russian officials on how to present their proposals to Washington has intensified concern about the direction of the process. Some see it as a symptom of the US president’s personalised foreign policy, while others view the process as a sign of a broader shift away from professional diplomacy altogether.

    Diplomacy is often portrayed as the preserve of seasoned professionals, and for good reason. Skilled negotiators such as the UK’s Jonathan Powell – who played a key role in the Northern Ireland peace process – understand how to manage escalation, read political constraints and build agreements that can survive leadership changes.

    Yet political outsiders sometimes play constructive roles. Businesspeople can think creatively, take risks that cautious officials avoid and open up transactional trade-offs that traditional diplomats might have dismissed as impossible.

    The noble diplomatic bluebloods are being pushed aside in favor of crass materialists.

      “for good reason”
      Yeah, sure, the’ve done so well. The seasoned pros have managed to make a mess of it. Time to step away and let the amateurs make a mess of it.

      • juris imprudent

        Men like Sykes and Picot!

      • (((Jarflax

        Yes, the masterful professional diplomats who will spend weeks figuring out the most arcane protocol regarding precedence and seating charts before engaging in 37 rounds of ‘productive’ discussions in which no contentious issues are discussed are much better negotiators than business people who hammer out billion dollar deals over lunch. Why the business guy might hurt the murderous dictator or terrorist leader’s feelings!

    “Many of you have asked my position on redistricting. I have been an unapologetic advocate for people with intellectual disabilities since the birth of my second daughter. Those of you that don’t know me or my family might not know that my daughter has Down Syndrome. This is not the first time our president has used these insulting and derogatory references and his choices of words have consequences. I will be voting NO on redistricting, perhaps he can use the next 10 months to convince voters that his policies and behavior deserve a congressional majority.”

    Phony baloney jobs

    The story of the first 10 months of Donald Trump’s second term has been the rapid and aggressive expansion of executive power — at the expense of a remarkably compliant GOP majority in Congress.

    With Trump running everything out of the White House, there isn’t much to do — except whatever the president tells them to do. Which isn’t fun!

    ——-

    Contrary to what most people think, the average Member of Congress wants to legislate. They want to do stuff! Because the job is boring as hell if you don’t and it’s terrible politics to be in the majority and have nothing much to show voters in 2026 when they are deciding whether or not to re-elect you.

    I’d prefer it if they busied themselves with sex tourism on private islands.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Trump not trying to pass legislation is a gift to the Dems though. Without codification everything he’s done will be easily wiped away as soon as the Dems regain executive power which they surely will eventually.

      • Muzzled Woodchipper

        Sort of.

        Much of what he’s doing is being codified by SCOTUS in one way or another. That said I disagree that he’s expanding federal power, but having its existing limits clarified. For the vast majority of things he always had the authority to do them, a fact being borne out in case after case.

    Oh no

    Because they couldn’t get a consensus at the talks in Belem, the COP30 presidency promised to create two new “road maps,” one to guide the transition away from fossil fuels and another to stop deforestation. But those road maps won’t have the force of something agreed upon in UN talks.

    Stop it. You’re killing me.

    • (((Jarflax

      So less force than something unenforceable, got it. I think I’ll go burn a tire.

    COPs need consensus, which often means the weakest deals because they have to please everyone, experts said.

    “In future negotiations, it will be essential to control the petrostates,” New Climate Institute founder Niklas Hohne said. “They have understood that this process can be dangerous for them and they put even more effort than ever into blocking any progress.”

    “The outcome of COP30 reminds us once again that action dependent on global consensus will never be enough to tackle the climate crisis at scale,” said Katharine Hayhoe, chief scientist at The Nature Conservancy.

    Where is our global socialist dictatorship when we need it?
