We had our Thanksgiving dinner last night instead of Thursday, just WebDom, 10b0t, Sweet Baby James, and Prime (who braved a foot of snow here to make her way down from Buffalo). We ate. We drank. And we drank. It’s a difficult morning. Prime and I are getting too old for this shit. Well, at least we can hope for a Bills victory today (though with different motivations).
Birthdays today include someone you know was going down on you; a brilliant writer who coined every phrase you know that wasn’t from the Bible or Shakespeare; a guy who would happily give you a plate job; the guy who truly opened up the West; the most truly American of any writer; a drunk guy who dragged us into a war; what New York liberals used to be; a guy famous for his letters home from camp; a guy who ate a rat; a victim of Yellow Fever; a much cleverer and more entertaining version of Bernie Sanders; one of my favorite playwrights who put coffee on the map; the second-best swordsman; and a guy who could push some wood.
And now I’ll push some Links.
I will admit that our little celebration last night was not this lively.
How about trying to make your city less of a corrupt shithole? Here’s an archive version.
Torpedoes might be a big ask, but does Australia not have flare guns?

Next up: “Goebbels was just misunderstood.”
Your retarded kid and your delicate feewings are irrelevant. So much for your oath.
One more example of the media gullibly trumpeting propaganda, then quietly and nearly invisibly backing off it. Not that there’s been a consistent pattern, nossir.
Darrell Huff would be proud. Misleading statistics AND leading anecdotes, all in the service of bigger government. On the positive side, the girl in the photo, despite being clearly stupid, has nice bazongas.
For whatever reason, one of the founding fathers of rock and roll has been almost forgotten. But not by the Old Guy. Hank incorporates some jazz into this to make it sound almost like Texas swing crossed with Dixieland, but the rockabilly peeps through, including the obligatory twangy guitar and pedal steel.
Happy birthday Christopher Columbus?
Happy birthday George W. Bush?
Happy birthday Larry David?
That was my thought. They’re remarkably similar.
Because they’re distant cousins, as revealed on Finding Your Roots.
Miklos Nemeth?
Frank Wallace opened the West!
Heh.
It’s not extortion and racketeering when the government does it.

Happy birthday Alfred Wegener!
Good one Ted,

Got this one and knew it was a reference to that horrid Boomershit song.
They used to play that crapfest every morning on the radio. That and the abomination that was Swing the Mood.
And yes, it was like fucking crack for the older side of the boomer generation.
I listened to it as a kid because my parents, the Greatest Generation, loved it.
I’m 48.
He looks like a soft 60.
Damn that generation aged poorly.
It’s a level of integrity you don’t get from the news media, so there’s that I guess.
I love how he and his ilk think they’re “informing” rather than just “basking in the approval of the right people”.
Probably the smartest thing he has done in years.
Celebrities are the definition of Unwarranted Self-Importance.
That wasn’t much of an apology.
Sounds like she probably came by it honestly.
Changing your vote on a political issue because someone used a ‘slur’ is more retarded than his daughter can ever be.
Sounds like her father has a vagina.
Agreed.

Good morning! Good to hear we weren’t the only crazy people to drive in a blizzard. Yesterday we took the kid to see our favorite acapella group Straight No Chaser in Chicago and had a great time. Except for the terrible road conditions. But we witnessed zero shootings which was nice.
I remember when they blew up on YouTube back before the internet was a stodgy 3 corporation cesspool. Now you get Pentatonix…
Love those guys, and regrettably I’ve never seen them live. I’ll have to remember to stick them in an Old Guy music soon.
We’ve seen them a few times. Super talented, funny, family friendly, and they mix up their shows every year so it’s not just the same greatest hits. It’s one of those shows you wish lasted twice as long.
So did random parents at school board meetings who objected to their daughters getting raped by boys LARPing as trannies in school locker rooms. If anyone in this country had half a nut you’d have actual targets on your back.
So if the line agents are upset that the director is prioritizing actual criminal cases over idealogical persecution of wrongthinkers, that tells you the extent of the systemic corruption, doesn’t it?
I do not understand this, just like I don’t get the military.
You get the F on board with the agenda or you get sanctioned and if you keep it up you get kicked out. Just like at my company if I refuse to attend sexual harassment or DEI training because I think it is stupid. Or if I refuse to turn in or sign my timesheet.
I thought the FBI was created to go primarily go after political opponents and solve crimes in their spare time.
Hoover faps from the grave.
How, exactly, do people in inflatable dinghies stop a cargo ship, anyway?
Probably by the harbor master or other powers that be declaring them a navigation hazard and requiring the ships to remain anchored.
Should have plowed them over.
Never give in to these assholes.
The BBC’s staggering hypocrisy on anti-Semitism

“This is the public broadcaster that spread so many Hamas lies about the Jewish State that it was forced to correct an average of two Gaza stories every week over the past two years.”
Wow.
I find it astonishing the Brits continue to pay their TV tax.
Sounds like many have stopped.
Sounds like the left’s propaganda arm is terrified of someone.

Mind you, these are the left-behind, rust belt, “bitter clinger,” “learn to code” communities the collective left has been telling us need to die out or move to the city for half a century.
This is so tedious. We did this in the mid-90’s. Able bodied lazy fucks went back to work.
Also, dumbfuck Republicans ought to be serving up constant FDR quotes about the necessity of working to receive welfare.

“Nixon vindication by 2035.”
I honestly don’t understand why he isn’t already in the lefty pantheon of gods.
Nixon’s unforgivable sin against them was his staunch anti-communism.
“”A wannabe social media influencer went viral this week when he handed out 18-inch machetes and booze to homeless people in Austin and New Orleans in a bizarre stunt he insisted was for their benefit.
Keith Castillo — who goes by “povwolfy” — posted a video on Thanksgiving to TikTok and Instagram that garnered more than 14 million views….
The stainless steel Gordon-brand machetes were still wrapped in packaging. Castillo told The Post he purchased them in bulk from online retailer Harbor Freight for less then $5 each.”

If they’re Harbor Freight machetes the handles will fall off after one use.

“If Donald Trump and his advisors and his supporters, in the media and within his administration, can alter the history of Watergate, then they can pretty much change anything, and that’s why the history of Watergate matters so much,” said Koncewicz, associate director of New York University’s Institute for Public Knowledge.
Something some thing he who controls the past…
Trump should have hired a team of Hollywood producers to orchestrate a congressional hearing on Watergate. That’s how you properly alter history.
The lefty rewrites of their scandals from the last decade or so are going to be interesting.

This is the kind of thing I see a lot of in South and Central America. Anyplace with something to steal and the money to afford it, will have a couple of goons standing by the door with pistols or shotguns. Low-trust society, I guess…

I hang onto mine for five. Or longer.
Same here. And I try to get older models off EBay. I can’t fathom paying more than a few hundred dollars for a cell phone. Even that seems like a bit much for what you get compared to a computer.
There are 7 companies that have been holding up the entire stock market for the last 6 years. Virtually all growth has been tied to them. One of them is a maker and seller of cell phones. So yes, the economy would fell a disturbance in the Force if the product life cycle is stretched. That is the true source of angst about the phones.
I had my first smartphone for seven years, and only replaced it because I wanted to ensure my phone would handle the 5G transition.
Current phone is at 3½ years.
I’ll get a new iPhone when Apple brings back the Mini.
If I can’t run it one-handed, it’s no good to me.
I went from an 8 to a 14. No regrets.
Think of all the poor foreign workers if the factory has to shut down.
I had my last phone for 8 years till it met with a relatively low impact fall at exactly the right angle to kill it.
“t may be his most original idea. As political scientist Barnett Rubin put it in September, “President Trump always says he’s very creative and accomplishes things no one has ever done before. And now he is building a fascist regime which is legitimized by the fight against antisemitism. Nobody ever thought of doing that before.””

Or maybe you anti-semitic pieces of shit are actually the baddies?
Great skit.
Victim of circumstances?
Emails obtained by The Associated Press reveal mounting warnings about the suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an asylum seeker whose erratic conduct raised alarms long before the attack that jolted the nation’s capital on the eve of Thanksgiving. The previously unreported concerns offer the clearest picture yet of how he was struggling in his new life in the United States.
Even so, when the community member who works with Afghan families in Washington state saw on the news that Lakanwal was named as the suspect in the National Guard shooting, they said they were stunned, unable to square the violence with the memory of seeing Lakanwal play with his young sons. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to share undisclosed details while cooperating with the FBI in its investigation.
have made it a point to know absolutely nothing about this, but let’s just say, for the sake of argument, he failed to adapt to his new home and culture.
Exactly how does playing with his son preclude him from embracing jihad?
Paywalled but I am picturing a lot of whining that the days of freely sabotaging the president are over.

“Rather than the customary suit and tie, the director frequently shows up to press conferences in hoodies and hunting vests, colloquially refers to agents as “cops” and told podcaster Joe Rogan he found the job “effin wild”.
He is said to enjoy the trappings of the job, keeping a selection of luxury whiskey and cigars in his office and handing out personalised “challenge” coins to members of staff.
The medallions, traditionally used by US soldiers to symbolise units or commands, feature an image of the Marvel character the “Punisher”, which has become a symbol of distrust in the justice system, and the number nine. Mr Patel is the ninth agency director.”
Chaos!
Pre-eminent asshole
The unprecedented post from a US president – spiteful even by Trump’s standards contradicted extensive research showing irrefutably that immigrants to the US commit fewer crimes than people born there, and have done so for more than a century.
Despite Trump’s post, in which he claims incorrectly that 53 million people in the US – “most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels” – are contributing to “high crime”, economists have found that the immigrants are 60% less likely to be incarcerated compared to individuals born in the US. This trend has remained consistent for the past 150 years.
Everybody knows this.
Who fuckin’ cares. If you’re here illegally, you’re out, no exceptions.
Well compared to the immigrants in England…
Thank goodness for small favors?
I wasn’t aware that the Guardian had TOS writers on its staff.
Moreover, as immigration rates have risen in the past few decades, crime rates across the country have fallen dramatically. According to an analysis by the American Immigration Council (AIC), the immigrant share of the US population has more than doubled since 1980, rising from 6.2% in that year to 13.9% in 2022. During the same period, the overall crime rate dropped by 60.4%, from 5,900 crimes per 100,000 people to 2,335. This includes a 34.5% decrease in violent crime and a 63.3% reduction in property crime.
We should be deporting native born Americans!
Also, yes.

Bastion of sanity?
Switzerland on Sunday overwhelmingly rejected a proposed 50% tax on inherited fortunes of 50 million Swiss francs ($62 million) or more, with 78% of votes against the plan, an outcome that even exceeded the two‑thirds opposition indicated in polls.
——-
The proposal from the youth wing of the leftist Social Democrats, or JUSOs, aimed to fund projects to reduce the impact of climate change. “The super rich inherit billions, we inherit crises,” they argued.
Toddlernomics shot down in flames.
For now.
“In recent weeks, however, the story of the “Sde Teiman rape” has undergone an abrupt reversal—leading first to the resignation of the IDF’s top prosecutor, Advocate General Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, and then to what seemed to many like her faked suicide attempt, in which she conveniently lost her cellphone at sea, and finally to her arrest.”
That sentence is giving me a headache.
“The phone was found in the water a week later, fully operational, its battery still halfway charged.”
That’s some cellphone.
“The reaction in Israel was different, though. It did not take long before investigative journalist Ayala Hasson, an anchor on Kan 11, pointed out that the video itself comprised two parts, each with a different time stamp. On one of the dates, the prisoner in question was not in the facility. If true, then the “evidence” of the crime was not only leaked but also seems to have been deliberately doctored, either by the leakers or by Channel 12.”
I can’t remember the last time a rape story turned out to be true.
Infestation
“The tech bros are out of control,” said Steve Bannon, Trump’s former White House chief of staff and MAGA influencer, The Times reported. “They are leading the White House down the road to perdition with this ascendant technocratic oligarchy.”
