That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
“Street communists are not people”
True.
Potatoes are technically not people, either.
Exactly what a commie would say.
But they have eyes!
<
But they have eyes!
I recall a conversation with a young lady at a small group outing at a conference.
“I’m a vegetarian!”
“But you’re eating fish?”
“Oh, I just don’t eat anything with eyes.”
Not sure what she would have done with a potato(e).
Fish don’t have eyes?
Why is it they always have a rap sheet, and it’s never protest-related?
Like all the wife-beaters in Kenosha?
“Man Arrested After Spraying Substance on Rep. Ilhan Omar at Town Hall”
semen?
Probably his piss. The contents in the spray syringe was quite…pee colored
Based on the reports of it being “foul smelling” I was thinking dog or pig piss.
I would assume pig pee.
Only her brother is allowed to spray that on her.
NPR had a blurb on this. Should I be reading something into the fact that the guy is not being referred to as “white?”
Did they hide the impression I’m getting that he was bug-shit nuts?
Does anyone believe it was real and not staged?
Sad part is…who knows? Find homeless guy, pay him or groom him to do it, and you get your photo and yalking points.
The only part that makes me think it was staged is that she didn’t GTFO and go to a hospital afterwards. The fact that the dude got tackled and arrested is hard to play off.
Not Adahn:
Yeah, that stood out to me too. Strange fluid sprayed on me? I want to know what the fuck it is, and would likely have put the boot to the guy (in the ribs) at least once.
Good calls, Sean and NA. My gut says false flag.
Uffda. A completely fair and dispassionate story on this from the local proggie news site
I have no idea if this was staged or not. I wouldn’t put it past her. Not like the media will dig into this story. It also feeds into her super power of being The Victim.
I’d also like to ask why the current crop of Dems think swearing is so cool. I’m quite the vulgarian myself, but I’m just some dumb yahoo. If that was my job, I wouldn’t be cursing.
“Omar felt like the least phased member in the room…”
Phased?
You mean to tell me she expected exactly what happened? Hmmmmm.
“A 21-year-old woman faces arson and burglary charges in New Braunfels, Texas, after she allegedly tried to burn down a county Republican Party headquarters.”
Always with the nose ring.
Checks photo.
Oh my. I’m willing to take first crack at fixing this one. Consequences be damned.
Only if you mean fix in the sense of spaying.
I mean fix more in the STEVE SMITH sense. But in the most loving way possible.
I’m willing to take first crack at fixing this one. Consequences be damned.
Wow, vive la diffe(insert accent)rence, I suppose. Different strokes, different folks. Even ignoring the probably mental instability, not overtly attractive at all.
Or maybe I clicked on the wrong link and saw a picture of Homan.
She kinda looks like Molly Ringwald’s psycho kid sister: Folly Ringskald.
Uffda. I will definitely not be spending a draft pick on her.
Just kill CARB in its entirety, ban California from setting any environmental regulations, and remove their status as a state – downgrade them to territory with no congresscritters and no electoral votes.
This along with getting out of NATO and the UN is all I want for next Christmas. Is it asking too much?
Yes please.
According to CA I can not drive any of my fleet into their state more than 1000 miles total per year because none of them are Tier IV diesels. Every year I have to beg for an exemption certificate. If I miss the window I am barred from ever entering CA again.
Cut their DOT funds off completely.
On top of that they limit trucks over 26,000 pounds and anyone towing a trailer from going over 55 mph.
That alone should be enough to cut the funding off.
To paraphrase Stalin: A handful of dead protesters are martyrs, a million dead protesters are a statistically significant shift in the electoral map.
Trump thinks being the savior of Los Angeles will drive votes…
It won’t. They will vote in the same retards
Well, he wont know until he tries.
But, in any case, it is the right thing to do. Fuck Newsome and his inability to get anything done.
On the contrary. I’m pretty sure Newsom has been getting done exactly he wants done. Nothing.
*what he wants done
It will significantly change the votes cast.
It won’t make any difference in the votes counted.
Proving what knew all along about the pro-Hamas wing of the Revolution.
My, how far she’s come since her days of bi-weekly preaching on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Bay Ridge Avenue – I sure don’t miss that rabble outside my living room window.
“It is the policy of my Administration that federally funded reconstruction projects for homes and businesses in the wildfire-impacted neighborhoods of the Pacific Palisades and Eaton Canyon areas proceed with the maximum speed consistent with public safety, and that Federal assistance not be frustrated by unnecessary, duplicative, or obstructive permitting requirements that prevent families and businesses from rebuilding.”
That won’t change anything.
I also learned from Adam Corolla videos, that caissons aren’t made of cheese.
Is it still the case that Greasy wants to illegally appropriate that land for “affordable housing” grifters?
Even that is being held up by regulations.
Perfect.
Any trust in media and government is being obliterated
Nicole Wallace, former Bush II admin gun for hire and all around lying shitbag can be safely disregarded.
M Snow can safely be disregarded.
I find it irritating when news stories do not include the date of the event. The current fashion seems to be to maybe put the day of the week in the article which is only useful if you’re a constant and current reader. But when you go back to try and put together a timeline it’s useless, ESPECIALLY when they do the constantly updating thing and change the date of the article, but not with a change tracker that’s visible to the reader.
Yep. That way they can run the story a month or two later to refresh your memory of whatever narrative they are pushing in my opinion
They’ve abandoned when, where, who, what, in favor of articles that take longer to get to the point so you are served more ads.
“There was violence that occurred in this town in this state”

Hey, Sensei, saw that video you put up for me last night. Interesting.
And now I am very curious what you truly think of me…

That is because ZWAK is a Bohemian name, not German, Teds.
The whole bathroom and bookstore thing was new to me.
You said you worked a bookstore I wondered if you noticed it.
I had never thought of it before seeing that, but as soon as I did, it made complete sense.
Not to worry, they generally get the facts and names wrong as well so the lack of sequence doesn’t really cost you any information.
I was having trouble understanding what looked like news was “4 days ago”.
I can’t remember yesterday’s news, life is going too fast for me.
Hope everyone has their power restored. A day without sunshine, even artificial, has to be tough.
I’m finding that when I look up a business website as well, so many of them do not have their phone number or address at the top of their page.
Pertinent information up top.

Tom Homan: Interesting that Noem would screw the pooch so badly and that this guy who appears on the surface to be oafish makes headway almost immediately. You can’t judge a book by its cover I suppose.
Wasn’t he the head of ICE under Obama?
He’s always struck me as a goombah. So probably more trustworthy than your average pol. 🥴
This whole thing strikes me as, and this is why I said Trump won yesterday, a plan to get better action from Walz and Frey. Send in the dogs, and when things get really rough, make a deal for a different person to come in and get the concessions you want.
Last I heard Frey is still bragging he won’t cooperate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And last I saw, MN State Troopers were starting to help ICE.
Homan isn’t the best speaker, but he’s got a ton of experience.
a number of student groups at the University of Minnesota — the Somali Student Association, the Liberian Student Association, the Ethiopian Student Association, and the Black Student Union
Splitters!!!
Students should not be permitted to unionize.
Our “Student Union” was a building.
You probably had at least a “Black Student Union” too – that was everywhere.
Its a nice slight of hand switching in union for association or club.
They have no agency over the service they are getting other than not using that service.
Yes there was the BSU and also the BSU. If you were a Black Baptist you could be in both.
Strangely, these are black groups demanding justice for two white people. We’ve come full circle, which ain’t bad. There probably is an ulterior motive.
/Conspiracy theorist
I’m reading it as demanding everyone look the other way while the grifting that certain groups are now known for continues apace.
Correct Rhy, there’s the ulterior motive.
Nah, they’re just doing what their masters tell them.
I feel sorrow for what RC Dean is going through.
Lily turns five today! I’m making her pork ribs for dinner… which are cheaper than natural dog chews.
Yes, likewise. I saw the news from RC while catching up this morning. I can’t imagine losing 2 in six weeks.
They were 15 years old (littermates). The female had bad arthritis and was basically on hospice for six months before she just . . . quit. Our male didn’t really show his age much until he got to 7,000 feet of altitude, and then his pulmonary hypertension (basically, bad blood flow in the lungs) flared up and he declined pretty quickly. At 15, every good day is a gift, and every bad day is just a preview.
But yeah, there’s definitely a hole in the house. Today I have to pack up all the dog stuff; this is the first time in our entire marriage (27 years) we haven’t had a dog.
That’s rough, that is a lot of energy missing from the house.
Ooof, so tough. The downside of their unconditional love is that their loss is even more painful.
I’m already dreading the no-time-soon loss of current pup.
Sorry 🙁
Damn, double-damn at that. My/our condolences.
I had a cat that made it deep into her 17th year.
Curently have one that’s over 14 and just starting to show her age. We got her the day before we closed on our house. It just won’t feel the same when she goes. Too my kids she has always been a fixture and she’s such a silly critter that she’s protective of them like a dog would be.
I feel you.
“President Trump derided Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) as a “fraud” Tuesday night before suggesting the lawmaker arranged an attack in which she was sprayed with an unknown substance by an audience member during a town hall event.
“I don’t think about her. I think she’s a fraud,” Trump, who has previously called for Omar to be either jailed or deported, told ABC News when asked if he had seen video of the incident. “She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her.
“I haven’t seen it. No, no. I hope I don’t have to bother,” he added.”

“Democratic strongholds New York and California are expected to lose a massive amount of DC voting power after 2030 as hundreds of thousands of residents flee high costs driven by decades of lefty policy-making, experts and a shocking new study said.
New York and California could each lose nearly 10% of their congressional representation after the next US Census is conducted in 2030 – with the Empire State poised to lose two seats and Cali expected to drop four, according to a new analysis of census numbers from the Redistricting Network that showed both state populations shrinking or stagnating.”
https://nypost.com/2026/01/27/us-news/ny-california-will-lose-combined-6-house-seats-after-2030-census-figures-analysis/
Not soon enough.
Whatever.
I still think it is inevitable that FL and TX will turn into NY and CA. The whole reason NY and CA got the way they are is massive population growth.
Florida was blue or at least purple and turned red. They are getting an older population that tends to be conservative. Texas is filling with Californians that mostly claim to be conservative, but then put Beto signs up, so unfortunately, I think you’re right about that.
There aren’t enough leftists to turn TX red anytime soon. They flooded into Austin, raised the cost of living about 50%, and are now looking for the next conservative city to ruin. I hear Nashville is on their radar.
They already killed Nashville.
Urbanization is what turns red states blue. Without some kind of major cultural shift, in the long run we’ll be ruled by overt leftists.
Of course, when the dollar collapses, that will throw all the cards in the air.
Same with Idaho.
We only have four electoral votes and two reps, that should have been 6 and three last census. When we get another it WILL be a Boise area hard left Democrat elected by CA, WA and OR imigration
I was surprised at how far left TN/KY was when I moved there in 04. Blew my mind.
If TEAM BLUE wins the presidential election in 2028, the Census Bureau will fake numbers to prevent blue states from losing so many seats.
Yes not soon enough. RNC’s “worst case” for 2026 midterms is supposedly 47(!) seats.

When Mrs. Dean saw the faked photo, she said she didn’t even realize it was supposed to be the same guy.
The side-by-side of the original and the doctored (heh) photo is . . . striking.
State law requires a constitutional amendment to be passed in the state legislature twice, with an election intervening in between the sessions, in order to go before voters. But Hurley ruled that the first passage of the amendment did not take place before the state’s 2025 elections because early voting had already begun.
“There is no rational conclusion except that the election began on the first day of voting (September 19, 2025) and ended on November 4, 2025,” Hurley wrote. “Therefore, the Court finds that following the October 31, 2025 vote and passage of [the redistricting amendment] has not been an ensuing general election of the House of Delegates.”
Delicious. The Democrats’ desire to provide everyone six months to vote in an election so they have ample time to massage the results stopped them from fixing another one.
Nice bit of judge shopping too – deep in SW Virginia.
What will be interesting is when “elections begin on the first day that ballots can be cast” collides with the US Code stating that:
“The Tuesday next after the 1st Monday in November, in every even numbered year, is established as the day for the election, in each of the States and Territories of the United States, of Representatives and Delegates to the Congress”
Silly you referencing that dead letter of a document.
US Code, not the Constitution. Not that anything over-rules whatever stupidity of the day is the progressive fancy.

You are half right, or I guess more accurately double.
I hope someone took out the trash.
JFC, that picture of the two recording each other. What a statement about the state of our culture.
And with AI increasingly able to make convincing fakes, the gold standard of video recording is about to be debased. Although I suppose its primary purpose, of reinforcing the epistemic bubble, will remain unchanged. I mean, there’s a pretty obviously faked photo of ICE executing the armed resister(tm) that is being swallowed hook line and sinker inside the lefty bubble, so I expect faked videos will have the same effect.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-plays-annual-sled-hockey-game-against-hope-hurricanes
The local college hockey team, currently ranked fourth in the national polls which is better than the Daloot Dawgs (Hi Nick!), got wrecked in a game of sled hockey by a team of high school kids.
I’ve played against that team a bunch of times. They have a good program.
Our team will play against college or high school kids sometimes, usual the they use it as a fundraiser. But it also gets our team some exposure, and it’s a lot of fun. Last time we were at the airport, a woman saw our sleds and stopped to tell us her son was in college and played against us years ago, but she remembers how fun it was.

“Mexico has introduced a new ban on vapes with tourists facing jail time and thousands in fines as a result.
Travellers visiting the popular holiday destination might want to avoid bringing e-cigarettes with them, as the country has started enforcing a ban on importing the devices….
It states: ‘The law will penalize all activities related to electronic cigarettes, vaping devices, and other analogous electronic systems or devices specified by law, as well as the production, distribution, and sale of toxic substances, chemical precursors, the illicit use of fentanyl, and other unauthorized synthetic drugs.’
It added: ‘The crime is also punishable by up to eight years in prison.'”

Megadeth Covering Ride the Lightning
Even Dave Mustaine is finally conceding that Metallica is the superior band.
Nah man, the best group from that era was Ace of Base.
Pixies or GTFO.
I tried to listen to that yesterday out of curiosity, but he sounds awful.
I loved Peace Sells and Rust in Peace, liked So Far So Good and Countdown to Extinction but nothing else I’ve heard from them really sounded good.
I’ve always preferred Mustaine’s lead/guitar work to that of Kirk Hammet. But generally find the song writing of Hetfield (and I suppose combined with the goomba Ulrich) to be (far?) superior to Megadeth. And vocally, Hetfield is much better than Mustaine and it’s clear on this cover (though I think Mustaine wrote some of the riffs for it, so partial cover?).
Well if you ask Dave…
Because I wrote music in that song, it just makes sense. It’s not a cover song. It’s a song that I wrote part of, and it just feels different. It doesn’t feel like we’re doing a song by another band.
https://guitar.com/news/music-news/dave-mustaine-on-megadeth-ride-the-lightning/
Metallica’s biggest problem was always Lars. It’s amazing how far being the drugs hookup will get you, in the absence of actual musical ability.
When Limp Bizket got booed opening for Metallica Lars came out and drummed for them.
It made them better.

“A Chicago teacher has been suspended after sharing support for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on social media.
The teacher at Gary Elementary School, who has not been named, wrote ‘GO ICE’ under a Facebook post last week.

Culinary question. How many Glibs here have actually had hominy or hominy grits?
Hominy yes, hominy grits no.
yes and yes
Not gona Lye – I haven’t had either. Still looking for a Corny joke to make up for it.
Does having it made into arepas count? One local place emphasizes they use alkaline treated corn to make them.
I see no reason why not
Grits – yes
Hominy – no, though I had similar corn in Ecuador
Hominy grits – no
“hominy or hominy grits”
Is there hominy that isn’t grits?
Hominy is merely the result of treating corn with lye or lime to break down the kernel walls and make the nutirents absorbable.
Turning that result into grits is only one method of preparation.
Yes, don’t grind it. You can roast it without grinding it.
Yes. Its “puffed” corn cause of the alkaline process, typically lye.
Then that would include posole, tortillas, etc.
So yes and yes.
Just more anti-Minnesoda bullshit! We like to soak our cod in lye and everyone makes fun of it.
But soak corn in lye and everyone loves it. It ain’t fair!!
p.s. I have had both grits and hominy. I like hominy. Grits? When my daughter-in-law from Georgia makes them I eat some and pretend I love them. (actually not that bad, but I wouldn’t miss it if I never had them again).
Best application of hominy is in a bowl of pozole
Yes and yes. Posole and green chile grits.
I think grits are like oatmeal and tofu. Their tastiness completely depends on what you mix in with it.
Plain? Uffda!
There are people who haven’t?
I haven’t.
I’d say have some hominy as a side dish to your next steak, but it’s not keto.
Yes to both. They pair well with onions, chiles, garlic, eggs, different hot sauces, and /or cheese. Casserole, stew, or served as a porridge.
Now I’m hungry.
First line of defense against right wing racists
U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) called the incident “an unacceptable decision that will be met with swift justice” in a statement.
“We are grateful for the rapid response of onsite security and our local law enforcement partners,” USCP continued. “We are now working with our federal partners to see this man faces the most serious charges possible to deter this kind of violence in our society.”
She is truly a national treasure.
Ah, the old “without evidence” for thee but not for me.

If it was a BMT then it would be a hate crime, what with all the pork.
Sometimes you should just keep your mouth shut or at most mutter some platitudes. This is one of those times.
We all know Trump is the one who likes people to pee on him.
Just like when Trump got shot at, I think this proves that there really isn’t much of a real threat to any of these people.
That security detail is really just a security theater, amirite?
If the security guards really thought she was in danger, there is no way that that guy could have wandered up and sprayed her. He would have been tackled after his first step.
The guards are just as lazy and dumb as the rest of us. Their protectees are safe because we still live in a country where everyone doesn’t want to physically harm them. The Dems are doing their best to egg on the weirdos into crossing that line though.
Since she is a true believer in DEI, perhaps her security ‘detail’ was full of d,e and i.
It’s complicated
“If there is even the slightest bit of ambiguity, that just opens the door for people to interpret [video] according to their own existing attitudes,” said Oliver of Penn State.
Videos only show viewers a moment in time and can be manipulated or edited, said West. Shorter videos that are commonly seen on social media can also be misleading, he said.
“We don’t know what happened five minutes before or an hour before or three hours before,” West said.
——-
The rise of artificial intelligence and deepfake videos adds another complication to the public’s understanding of these events, experts said.
Shah, from the University of Wisconsin, said it’s becoming more and more difficult for people to differentiate between AI and reality on social media. People may stop believing what they’re seeing altogether.
“The idea of image as truth is also deeply in question,” he said.

Von der Leyen announces that the EU is signing an agreement on mobility with India.
She says it will facilitate “the movement of students, researchers, seasonal and highly skilled workers” to Europe while also launching the “first EU Legal Gateway Office in India”
This doesn’t seem very wise considering the political landscape in Europe
https://x.com/edwest/status/2016442043287945640
no one considers the political landscape or the opinions of peasants.
Though I am surprised that mobility is part of a trade deal… like way.
Equally surprising is a country negotiating so their “high-skilled” people can leave for other countries. I assume they want remittances or something…
But right now the job market for high skilled workers is fairly weak in Europe. Is this the time to bring in more, even if they were all high skilled which I doubt?
Students I guess to maintain pointless professor positions at pointless universities for the “elite” class…
So they’re importing Indians to deal with the Pakistani population?

These people are nuts.
Do they point to the law that’s being broken? Of course not. They are only guilty of doing something the left doesn’t like. Unfortunately that would be enough in our corrupt judicial system. Just look at the lefty judges on the SC. Their argument is always “I don’t think it’s fair.”
Bigger! Better!
Previous rallies have drawn millions of people, and organizers said they expect even greater numbers on March 28 in the wake of Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, where violent clashes have led to the death of two people.
“We expect this to be the largest protest in American history,” Ezra Levin, co-executive director of the nonprofit Indivisible, told The Associated Press ahead of Wednesday’s announcement. He predicted that as many as 9 million people will turn out.
“No Kings” protests, which are organized by a constellation of groups around the country, have been a focal point for outrage over Trump’s attempts to consolidate and expand his power.

The suspect, whose identity has not been publicly released at this time, made her shocking statements directly to a firearms dealer in Kenmore, New York.
According to DHS, the woman told the dealer she wanted to “buy a gun to protect herself from ICE Agents, and also to kill ICE Agents.”

Now NY will probably change the form so that’s a good reason.
I wish I could find a decent source for what actually happened. Everything that the search engines are turning up lead back to a DHS statement.
““OK, for today’s resistance tip,” the diabolical woman said, “I vote, um, anybody got any poison ivy, poison oak in their yard? Get some of that up with gloves, obviously, get it in some water, like a gallon of water, get the poison-ivy/oak water, and I’m going to put it into a water gun. Aim for faces, hands.”
Finally, in a third unhinged video, the woman addressed “single ladies” in ICE agents’ vicinity. Those ladies, she said, could “do something not without risk, but, could help the cause, for sure.”
“Get on Tinder, get on Hinge. Find these guys. They’re around,” she added. “If they’re an ICE agent, bring some Ex-Lax and put it in their drinks. Get ’em sick. Nobody’s going to die. Just enough to incapacitate them and get them off the street for the next day.””

She seems nice.
The willingness to throw away one’s job and life via social media will never cease to amaze me. At least she outed herself, I certainly wouldn’t want her administering my meds.
She’s just a sweet nurse like that Pretti guy.
And then she will be SHOCKED when there are consequences.
These people really are insane. Just look at them.
It’s disturbing that so many of them are nurses. How many think the same way but at least are smart enough to not broadcast it?
Classic case of anachronistic projection. The classical liberals of the eighteenth century championed the rule of law and of reason; individual liberty and autonomy; the possibility of improvement of the individual and of society, incl and esp by good government.
They were not champions of electoral democracy (which worried them a lot, esp the Americans) or unfettered markets—not even Smith. What they wanted was an end to monopolies and privilege. To the classical liberal imagination, the world was not zero-sum.
And they certainly did not think the state as evil. That’s just libertarian hijacking that had been going on since the counterrevolution against the New Deal.
The closest that contemporary movements get to classical liberalism is technocratic progressivism—liberty, evidence, reason, and the possibility and duty of social improvement through careful, evidence-based policy design. They would recognize Elizabeth Warren as best representing their tradition today.

Well that’s quite the stolen base there. Personally, I see no link between technocratic progressivism and the stated characteristics. Quite the opposite.
Top. Men.
“This is in large part a response to a combination of the heinous attacks on our democracy and communities coming from the regime, and a sense that nobody’s coming to save us,” Levin said.
A photo in n article I read earlier showed people holding slick professionally printed signs with labor agitator messages like “Billionaires are the Problem, not Immigrants”.
Totally organic grassroots outrage on the part of ordinary Americans.
If I was in charge of the world, I would be diving into where these things got printed and who was paying for it. Printing is a fairly long-lead time activity. This requires planning and funding. This would be basic data for making conspiracy cases.

The French are not lazy. They just enjoy leisure more than most (no irony here) And this is perfectly fine: .
As productivity increases, it is perfectly reasonable to take it partly as more leisure (fewer hours per week, earlier retirement age), and only partly in income.
https://x.com/ojblanchard1/status/2016078338922602703
of course and it is so sustainable… they have no debt no budged deficit the early pensions are fully funded. Other countries are stupid for not enjoying more leisure.

2. If it were about innate preferences for leisure, French people exposed to higher wages would not work more. But we know that e.g. French cross-border workers in Luxembourg and Switzerland work as much as locals! This suggests constraints on hours worked in France.
Part of the population democratically imposes very high marginal tax rates on labor earnings; as a result, people end up working less than elsewhere. From a representative agent perspective, this may look like a pref for leisure, but I think it misses the political economy!
of course and it is so sustainable… they have no debt no budged deficit the early pensions are fully funded. Other countries are stupid for not enjoying more leisure.
Ummmm…..
We work our asses off here in the States and we have $38T in debt. Maybe we’d be better off working (or not working I guess) like the French.
How about “Fuck you, cut spending”. We wouldn’t be in debt if we didn’t fund everyone and everything and every freeloader on the planet.
go for it.
It is amazing how much you people spend given you don’t even have good wines and cheeses
The French, at least, tend to blow their tax money on French things, vs. the US just making it rain worldwide like a NBA rookie in a strip club.
UCS:
I think my proposal has a much higher chance of happening than yours.
So, Pie, when are you getting your Visa and visiting?
And just like that we’d be very poor subjects of West China.
the US has a surprisingly low labor force participation so obviously some prefer leisure
when are you getting your Visa – dunno. the lack of infrastructure makes it expensive.
I have some friends who want to visit Canadia in late July early august and asked me if I wanted to come but it feels wrong to visit the hat first.
Pie:
We also take Master Card, Amex and Discovery here in the US. A Visa isn’t required.
I will no longer have my work Amex. Effective 30 January 2026, AMEX individual corporate credit card services in Romania will no longer be available.
It’s perfectly reasonable to prioritize leisure over additional income. It’s a bit less reasonable to borrow money your children will have to repay to buy yourself that leisure. It’s downright evil to import savages who will rape and enslave your children to hide the fact that you have ‘borrowed’ so heavily against your children’s future earnings that repayment is impossible.
It’s perfectly reasonable to prioritize leisure over additional income if you dont want free shit to compensate for the lack of additional income.

“without US immigration status”. You mean illegal.

This makes sense if you understand that Western Leaders are secretly Hindutva extremists. Ursula von der Leyen’s plan is to join Europe with India and so unite all the old Aryan territories into one ‘Super Homeland’ – an Aryan Urheimat stretching the Atlantic to the Bay of Bengal

Where are the largest welfare programs of Social Security and Medicare?”
But even if you consider both these programs welfare, which is not ridiculous to do, it is meaningless because the immigrants unless they return home immediately before retirement will also all use this welfare. But if they are using more when young, it is an issue. This is the same in Europe. The idea is to be net positive 20-65 and you will be net negative young and old. But if immigrant are negative in their prime they will be even more negative overall. Also I feel that welfare usage by immigrant numbers are not showing everything.
Social Security was sold as a retirement investment. Pay in your entire working life, get some of it back at a terrible rate of return in retirement.
The rest of the post is bs.
Immigrants shouldn’t be using any welfare. Especially illegal immigrants.
Totally disinterested source 🙄

Weiss said she sees CBS News as the “best capitalized media start-up in the world.”
“But start-ups aren’t for everyone,” she said. “They’re places that move at rapid speed. They experiment. They try new things. They sometimes create noise and, yes, bad press. If that’s not your bag, that’s OK. It’s a free country and I completely respect if you decide this is just not the right place at the right time for you.”
She talked about a “transformation” of CBS’ workforce in the coming years in a question-and-answer session, but gave no specifics about what that will mean, according to a person who heard the speech but spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to report on it.

https://nypost.com/2026/01/27/world-news/billion-dollar-shipwreck-at-the-center-of-an-international-legal-war/
The wreck belongs to the people who found it and their backers.
Spain lost their claim when they failed to pick it up after it sank.
Columbia has no claim, as they neither existed at the time nor found it.
“Indiginous Groups” are merely rent-seeking private parties with now claim. They should have to pay the court costs of the other parties and execute their lawyers.
“The rightful owner of the ship is humanity itself.”
Just make my check out to The Other Kevin.
It was property abandoned by the Spanish in 1708. They made no effort to reclaim it.
All other claimants have no standing.
We can close down the Hague and flay anyone who says it deserves to exist.
