    “Questions arise over strikingly similar signatures by Trump on recent pardons”

    I don’t get it?

    • Drake

      Insinuating that they used an autopen even though there’s a picture of him holding up the pardon, and probably a video of him signing it.

      • Common Tater

        OK, I need more covefe.

        If they are all his signature, why wouldn’t they be similar?

      • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

        They are trying to take the auto-pen heat of the Dems by insinuating that Trumps are auto-penned also.

      • (((Jarflax

        And it completely misses the point, since no one cares if the President uses the autopen, as long as he approves the signing.

      • rhywun

        Because shut up with the Guardians help the walls are closing in

      • Nephilium

        (((Jarflax:

        Do I need to provide links to the news stories saying how Trump is obviously further along in decline than Biden is?

      • juris imprudent

        Trump was already subject to 25th Amdt discussions in his FIRST term!

      • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

        Shit, the left thinks anyone who doesn’t agree with them on politics is senile, crazy, or both.

      • juris imprudent

        Disagree ZWAK – the first thing the left thinks about everyone who disagrees with them: evil.

    • Ted S.

      Astroturfing an autopen scandal.

      The projection is strong here.

  2. Ted S.

    Wow. This guy was already Grade A douche.

    The word “statesman” is doing a lot of work there.

    “Speaking to The Telegraph onboard Air Force One, Mr Trump said he would formally seek damages against the BBC as early as next week for between “$1bn and $5bn”.”

    What’s $4B give or take?

    • Common Tater

      “Mr Trump declared that CBS, the sister channel of the BBC, had attempted “election interference” and sued it for $10bn. He settled the case earlier this year for $16m.”

      Sister channel?

      So if he want $1B he has to sue for $625B

    • Ted S.

      Three seconds of FedGov spending?

    Six figure income in California and we lived month-to-month. Moving to a lower cost of living state made a huge difference.

    • Fourscore

      Six figures ain’t what it used to be. Won’t be long before the SNAPpers will be complaining.

    • rhywun

      Years of inflation have devalued the $100,000 income

      No shit?

    • Threedoor

      Making six figures.
      Living on five.
      Single earner, homeschooling.

      It’s tight and no mater how much I save I can’t see a mathematical way that I can ever retire.

  5. Rat on a train

    Six-figure earners are living paycheck to paycheck
    Those same people would be living paycheck to paycheck on seven-figures.

    • Chipping Pioneer

      This is exactly correct. If you took a deep dive into the spending habits of these people you’d pretty quickly identify a number of problems.

      “Rich” and “wealthy” aren’t the same. “Rich” means you spend alot. “Wealthy” means you have alot. The former is often at odds with the latter.

      • Sensei

        Rich – you work for money.

        Wealthy – your money works for you.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        Plenty of people out there will be borderline broke no matter how much money they make.

      • juris imprudent

        Stinky has it. Hearst’s businesses never lost money and he still went broke, because he actually could spend it faster than he earned it.

    • Threedoor

      Rat is right.
      People like governments spend too much.

    “An anonymous new owner fenced off beloved trails and put up surveillance cameras in a region with a long tradition of allowing public access on private land.”

    These things happen.

    “Joe Babbitt, the Select Board Chair in Beaver Cove, told Bangor Daily News, ‘It’s what everyone is wondering.’

    ‘There’s all kinds of gossip out there, saying it’s everyone from the sultan of Egypt to ‘insert your billionaire of choice here”.”

    “Democratic Rep. Brad Sherman denied looking at porn on a flight after photos of him staring at racy images on his iPad went viral — instead blaming his algorithm for serving up the scantily clad shots.

    Sherman spoke out after a fellow passenger snapped pictures of the California congressman, showing him ogling salacious images at full brightness of women wearing nothing but their bras and underwear.”

    Meh. He’s 71 and probably just misses the Sears Catalog.

    • Fourscore

      He needs help, with his computer. Is he still a 5th grader?

    • Rat on a train

      It’s the algorithm’s fault for knowing me so well.

    • (((Jarflax

      What is this 1940? If they were in their bras and underwear it doesn’t really qualify as porn anymore

      • Chafed

        That’s what I was thinking.

    • Tonio

      Haven’t seen the images but conflating lingerie/bikini pics with porn is straight outta 1950.

    • DrOtto

      At least turn down the brightness. That’s the ALL CAPS of ogling. Maybe he was looking at one of Q’s links?

    • creech

      Somebody tell him about Q’s Cuties. This guy should have fessed up to liking pictures of half naked women. Aren’t the Dems trying to get back the “real men” vote?

  8. juris imprudent

    Speaking of hollow catch phrases… [cough]MAGA[cough]

    He dismissed Democrats’ newfound focus on “affordability,” after years of brushing off inflation under former President Joe Biden, as laughable, describing it as a hollow “catch phrase” instead of serious policy.

    It is amusing to contemplate Trump being undone by not being Trump-y enough for his base.

  9. Stinky Wizzleteats

    The women in those “X-rated” photos that pol’s looking at are clearly wearing clothes (look like swimsuits) so not X-rated. I’m sure he’s a douchebag but those look no worse than what Q posts.

  10. Fourscore

    Great music this morning, Spud. Video looked like a family reunion

  11. juris imprudent

    Wow, who knew that Charlie was an economic planner too!

    Andrew Kolvet: Charlie Kirk’s Plan For American Economic Revival

    • Chafed

      As rhywun has pointed out before, many are trying to make him Jesus 2. I give the guy a ton of credit for earnestly, regularly talking at colleges. That doesn’t mean everything he said was smart or right.

      • juris imprudent

        My ex has told me about the deification of Saint Charlie in Texas.

      • Suthenboy

        This.
        They have Jesusified him alright. A million grifters dropping his name and preaching the gospel of giving money to their cause.
        That is in no way an indication that Kirk’s character is a reflexion of that. His schtick was a bit tiresome to me and he was not of my generation but overall I think he was definitely one of the good guys. Still, he was just a man.

        This touches on the moral landscape in the larger sense. It is true that the right, the conservative, the republican side has all of the flaws that politics typically has. Our biggest problem is the outright naked evil and insanity that the left embraces. It is the difference between the career cubical guy that pads his expense account and the neighbor that is burying bodies of teenagers in his back yard behind his secret torture chamber.

      • rhywun

        He was extremely socon, much of which rubs me the wrong way, but more importantly it drove the left batshit. Batshit enough to assassinate him.

        I don’t see much good going forward unless all the new acolytes that Faux News brays about constantly can keep a lid on some of the more off-putting stuff that comes with that territory.

      • creech

        There are a dozen libertarians from back in the day who could have destroyed Kirk in a debate.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Back in the day. Now the standard bearers are a used car salesman and a flaming idiot.

    • Threedoor

      I have a plan too.
      Eliminate welfare, farm aid to social security.
      Sell off all the federal land.
      Strict adherence to article one section eight.
      Repeal the 17th amendment
      Stop spending money.

  12. juris imprudent

    This is a couple of weeks old – did we already talk about it?

    Such is the boundless conceptual elasticity of “trafficking”—a category that has been progressively expanded by prosecutors, elected officials, and plaintiff’s lawyers. A veritable industry of NGOs, professional associations, and law enforcement groups now exists to eliminate this fearsome scourge.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Sure, a lot of it is spin. Going after a guy who’s “managing” a few whores out on the street isn’t going to land an agency or NGO as much funding as going after a human trafficker.

    • Common Tater

      ENB has been talking about it for years.

    • Fourscore

      I’m into anti-trafficking. I won’t drive on interstates, 5 o’clock rush, etc

    • Common Tater

      “$754,539.53 was promptly wired to a lawyer in Washington, DC, named Linda Singer, whom the New York Times once profiled as national innovator in the practice of “Coaxing Attorneys General” to sue various far-flung corporate entities, whereupon Singer would “Create Big Paydays” for herself and her colleagues.”

      No idea how that works?

      • juris imprudent

        Presumably per a contract between her and the state. That would be an interesting document to FOIA.

    • Suthenboy

      Ever notice how elaborate networks of NGO’s, govt agencies attorneys etc are formed, huge amounts of money poured into it all to solve a problem that promptly gets exponentially worse as soon as such network is formed?
      I noticed.

      • Common Tater

        Such as homelessness in Los Angeles? I think they spent $24B. The result was more homeless.

      • juris imprudent

        That’s on top of the $130B the state of California spent over 5 years time to “solve” the homeless problem.

      • juris imprudent

        Check that, it was $24B from the state – which translated to ~$130K per homeless person.

      • DrOtto

        See 6 figures and they still can’t make it. This just goes right back to today’s links.

      • Threedoor

        Same with the Homeless Industrial complex in Seattle and Portland. More billions there.

    ““Succession” actress Dasha Nekrasova has been fired by her talent agency, Gersh, a spokesperson has confirmed to Variety. The actress was let go after far-right commentator Nick Fuentes appeared on Nekrasova’s podcast “Red Scare,” which she hosts with Anna Khachiyan.

    On the podcast video, uploaded to YouTube on Oct. 10, the hosts discussed Fuentes’ rise in popularity, as well as the Charlie Kirk assassination, immigration, Kanye West, vaccines, the “Groyper army” and more. The video has received 220,000 views, while a repost has received an additional 69,000 views….

    Nekrasova has made controversial statements in the past. In a 2023 New Yorker story, she was quoted as saying, “Francis is not the real Pope, we all know it. … You’re not gonna get rid of the Freemasons. You’re not gonna get rid of the Jews. They infiltrated the Church a long time ago.””

      Now my head hurts.

      • juris imprudent

        Just think David Duke redux that the Klan would laugh at.

      • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

        Same here. No way any organized group calls themselves Groypers, to much of a 4chan scam to be anything but.

      • Common Tater

        Narrator: They did call themselves Groypers.

      • juris imprudent

        Arguably nowhere near as organized as Antifa.

      • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

        Who, Tator? Show me someone calling themselves a grouper, or whatever. Show me a goryper rally, show me something. Because every time I look for this crap, all I find is more people talking about them, and nothing from “them.”

        So, until I see this, I am putting it down to either a 4chan line of BS, or some made up shit coming from the left.

    • rhywun

      An actress has a podcast and discusses politics.

      How fucking stupid can one person be??

    • Chafed

      She seems nice.

    • DrOtto

      Ah yes, Nick Fuentes, the Mexican, Italian, Irish white supremacist. My how standards have fallen. Far right – someone who holds mostly left wing views, but says their views out loud. Hasn’t he gone on record with socialist leanings as well?

      • rhywun

        To me it comes across as performance art but for some reason that I can’t understand people seem to be taking him seriously? I don’t get it.

      • juris imprudent

        No he’s serious, and there are a lot of alienated young men out there. The elite denies they have any reason to be so, so naturally they’re going to listen to someone who validates them.

      • DrOtto

        I have a hard time taking anyone seriously that says they are an Incel because having sex with women is gay.

      • juris imprudent

        Yeah, he’s a little unclear on the concept, but that goes at the same level as the rest of his “thinking”.

      • Threedoor

        Remember how the media cast George Zimmerman as a “white hispanic?”

      • UnCivilServant

        According to the census data, 70% of hispanics in this country are white.

    “A depraved married teacher who sexually abused a troubled inmate at a Kentucky juvenile detention center — and then asked him to kill her husband — will spend more than a decade behind bars.

    Elena Bardin, 27, was sentenced Thursday to 14 years in prison after a jury convicted her of first-degree sexual abuse and unlawful transaction with a minor for having explicit sexual contact with a 17-year-old boy at the Adair County Juvenile Detention Center, where she taught English, according to Court TV.

    Bardin — mother to a five-year-old girl — was also accused of asking the teen to murder her husband, but the jury acquitted her of that charge.

    The twisted teacher was busted in April when a routine search of the teen’s room at the lock up uncovered about 193 sexually explicit letters and photos she had allegedly sent to him, according to authorities.”

    193?

    • Chipping Pioneer

      About 193.

      • Ted S.

        It depends on what you consider “sexually explicit”. See the Brad Sherman case above.

    Why should anything to do with Earhart, and the search for her crash site, have ever been classified? There’s not even the typical reason of hiding government incompetence or misbehavior.

    Back to the income story:

    My grandfather told me that someone from the government called him and told him he was below the poverty line and asked if he needed help. Being who he was, he told them to piss off and hung up on them.

    At the time, the low-income definition of poverty was around $20K per year. As far as I know, his only income was his Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security.

    He was in his late 80’s and his main expenses were his groceries and electric bill. He’d get someone to drive him to the local hockey games and give them gas money and buy them coffee. His total monthly expenses were probably less than $1K.

    He didn’t have any problems living within his means on a low 5-figure income.

    • (((Jarflax

      How did he afford to Doordash his Starbucks every morning?

    • Pope Jimbo

      I know several couples that are the exact opposite. Two incomes and living paycheck to paycheck.

      Huge McMansion that they keep using for equity loans. Two leased SUVs. Big boat. Cabin.

      When I retired they were all amazed. How could I with only one income do it? They all have to work forever to keep things from collapsing.

      I have no idea how they can sleep at night knowing that if they miss a paycheck they will lose it all.

    Even the man who had sold the mountain — Hank McPherson, a retired logging magnate who had kept its trails open to the public — said he wasn’t sure who the buyer was. “I didn’t get into it,” he said in an interview. “It was handled by lawyers. And to be honest, I didn’t really care.”

    Ah. It was private property and got sold to a new owner. If the locals wanted continued access, maybe they should have pooled their money and bought it.

    • slumbrew

      Spend their own money?! That’s crazy talk. The State should force property owners to allow access to the public, like they do in the U.K.

      I dont know about Maine but here ownership is public record. In fact, if it is not recorded by the clerk as public record, you dont own it. So are the property tax records.
      I have heard this ‘sinister, mysterious dark figure owns….whatever…before. It is nonsense. Get on E-clerk and look it up.
      Also public record: division orders on minerals, timber sales, rights of way, permits for fences, power lines, roads, water and gas lines, drainage, on and on. Mysterious my ass.

      • slumbrew

        Eh, I’m sure it’s owned by “Jacket Mountain, LLC”. That won’t tell you much.

      • Gender Traitor

        I’m guessing the owner of record on the county auditor’s website is some corporate entity created for the express purpose of owning this property. Off the top of my head I don’t know how/where you’d dig deeper to get at the names connected to the company, if that is likewise public record.

        It’s the same thing everywhere in the country.

        Deeds in Maine are organized at the county level.

        If you had read the article, you would have seen a link in there to someone’s search of public records.

        Using information in that story and knowing that everywhere in the country property records are public, I went looking.

        Here is the quitclaim deed, showing the buyer which is a LLC, for the property.

      • (((Jarflax

        Depending on the State it is possible to completely hide the human ownership of an LLC. All that is required is to name a Statutory Agent who can receive service of process for the company. Not all States require you to register the owners or officers, and praise God, that stupid Federal filing requirement was struck down.

      • (((Jarflax

        However, in this case the company granted an easement, which required the Manager to sign. His name is Thomas W. Richardson. From the address I suspect he is an attorney, and may or may not be an owner of the company.

      • Suthenboy

        Jacket Mountain LLC’s charter is also public record as is the list of owners.

      • Suthenboy

        Actually not sure why we are discussing this. It is a private transaction of private property. Not only that I rant about allodial title and private property all of the time.

        Fact is someone who really wants to know instead of whipping up envy and resentment could find out who the owner is….and that is a shame.

      • (((Jarflax

        That may be, although that is not the company that owns the mountain 🙂 Burnt Jacket Holding I, LLC does. If you are speaking generally about those documents being public, that depends on the State. I believe Delaware (it is a Delaware LLC) allows you to keep the ownership private.

    “Nonetheless, Annie decided to testify on behalf of these other presumed victims, who for some reason were not available. Anouska agreed with the sentiment, recalling that out of the “hundreds of victims” she too had always assumed were out there, she “never thought that [she] would be chosen.” Possibly because she initiated consensual communications with Epstein well into her 30s, and even sent him racy photographs of herself while he was incarcerated in Florida. She also submitted an entry for Epstein’s infamous “Birthday Book” in 2003, replete with a “collection of breast photos” for his enjoyment. Anouska is described in the bawdy book as one of Epstein’s many (adult) “girlfriends.” But when all was said and done, both women did indeed testify at the 2021 Maxwell trial, and both went on to receive multi-million dollar payouts from settlement funds that became available after Epstein’s death. Finally, both appeared as “trafficking survivors” last month at the press conference in front of the US Capitol. ”

    “These weren’t the only trails — they weren’t in the top 10 trails,” said Lew-Ellyn Hughes, a manager at the Greenville tourism center whose family roots in the region go back 200 years. “That’s not why people are sad. It’s people from away coming in and shutting things down. It’s the contrast between haves and have-nots — especially when the have-nots can’t find a place to live.”

    A six-figure salary doesn’t mean what it once did.

    That’s the takeaway from a new Harris poll, which suggests a six-figure income in 2025 equates to survival, but not necessarily to success.

    Oh, for pity’s sake.

    • The Last American Hero

      Six figures can mean 105k. And most of these “6 figure households” are in the 100’s, not the 500’s. When median household income is about 70k, then an income of 105k above average.

      It certainly isn’t poor or needing government assistance, but it isn’t rich by any stretch.

      And geography matters. $150k in LA or Manhattan isn’t $150k in Tulsa.

    “For the last decade, Teen Vogue has been an unexpected source of some of the most searing progressive political analysis in American media. It’s a pivot the publication began in April 2016 when Elaine Welteroth took over as leader. She became the publication’s second editor in chief, and the second Black person ever to hold that title under the publishing giant Condé Nast.

    Previously focused mostly on teen style trends and celebrity red carpet looks, the magazine’s website soon included headlines like “Trauma From Slavery Can Actually Be Passed Down Through Your Genes” and “Donald Trump Is Gaslighting America.” Readers took notice: Between January 2016 and January 2017, web traffic reportedly grew from 2.9 million U.S. visitors to 7.9 million.”

    I despise Chinua Achebe. I was forced to read his Luddite racist trope Things Fall Apart twice in school. I recycled my essay from the 7th grade and added more hate for him the second time I had to write about that garbage book.

    Maine communists disrespecting private property for generations? Shocked. Screw them. I especially like how the retired from out of state government employee is complaining about being locked out of someone else’s property. She should have bought it if she wanted to hike there. Being from a state that being flooded by out of staters with much larger wallets where 66% of the land is locked up by the government Idahoans have been hit harder by rising property costs than any Maine commie ever could imagine. Idaho has grown in population the highest as a percentage of population and the government isn’t selling any land.

    And the six figure income feeling small again. Yeah. See my last paragraph. Sell it ALL. I got into that with one of my neighbors yesterday, “I really like the public land” who moved from Southern California.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Preach it. Idiots here are still singing the praises of statewide land use planningrestrictions and bemoaning housing costs as if the two weren’t related. “But otherwise the sprawl and loss of farmland!” Which hasn’t measurably changed in 70 years.

      • Threedoor

        Farmers are retiring land as they become more efficient and move to larger sprayers and combines with wider headers that can’t get to parts of their acreage that they used to farm with the older smaller equipment.

        End zoning.
        All of it.
        Eliminate permitting.

    Illegal migration is “tearing the country apart”, the home secretary has said, as she prepares to unveil major plans to overhaul asylum policy.

    New measures set to be announced by Shabana Mahmood on Monday will include people granted asylum needing to wait 20 years before they can apply to settle permanently.

    The plans will also see those granted asylum have their refugee status regularly reviewed and those whose home countries are then deemed safe told to return.

    Mahmood told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme she saw tackling illegal migration as a “moral mission”.

    Several thousand people took to the streets of Mexico City on Saturday to protest crime, corruption and impunity in a demonstration organized by members of Generation Z, but which ended with strong backing from older supporters of opposition parties.

    ——-

    In several countries this year, members of the demographic group born between the late 1990s and early 2010s have organized protests against inequality, democratic backsliding and corruption.

    The largest “Gen Z” protests took place in Nepal in September, following a ban on social media, and led to the resignation of that nation’s prime minister. In Mexico, many young people say they are frustrated with systemic problems like corruption and impunity for violent crimes.

    They just want what’s rightfully theirs.

    “We need more security” said Andres Massa, a 29-year-old business consultant who carried the pirate skull flag that has become a global symbol of Gen Z protests.

    Arizbeth Garcia, a 43-year-old physician who joined the protests said she was marching for more funding for the public health system, and for better security because doctors “are also exposed to the insecurity gripping the country, where you can be murdered and nothing happens.”

    “A New Jersey man is believed to be the first documented person to die from a meat allergy that is triggered by tick bites.

    The man, a 47-year-old airline pilot who was otherwise healthy, is believed to have died from alpha-gal syndrome after a camping trip, according to the case detailed in a study from the University of Virginia School of Medicine and Hackensack Meridian Health. He reportedly went camping with his wife and children in the summer of 2024, where a few hours after eating beef steak, he woke up with abdominal discomfort that led to diarrhea and vomiting. His condition improved, and he considered consulting a doctor but chose not to.

    Two weeks later, he attended a barbecue in New Jersey with his wife and ate a hamburger. Four hours later, he was found unconscious on the bathroom floor. Paramedics attempted to resuscitate him and transported him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.”

      “The initial cause of death was ruled sudden unexplained death. After the wife provided the autopsy report to a doctor who forwarded it to an allergy specialist, the specialist determined that the man had suffered an extreme reaction to alpha gal. His wife said he had been bitten by ticks earlier in the year, noting that he had 12 or 13 “chigger” bites around his ankles, a term often used to describe the larvae of lone star ticks, according to ABC News.”
