Putting aside the good news about Sweet Baby James taking his first steps and Prime and I having our first alcohol-free date (we went to a cult restaurant specializing in buckwheat pancakes and maple syrup, open only two months a year), I have more amusing local stories.
Oberlin East here in the Gulch had a Teach-In event this past week to “discuss” immigration and ICE. As one can easily imagine, “discuss” means “shut up and be lectured to.” And of course, in the spirit of free inquiry which is the backbone of university education, the presentations were broad and considered various viewpoints… fuck, who am I trying to kid? It was all about recruiting for union activists, rape whistle gangs, “strikes” against local businesses, and of course, the local Democratic party. Speakers spanned the entire political range from far Left to Extreme Left. There was, of course, no actual discussion or even monologue about actually changing immigration laws and our basic approach, it was all wall-to-wall Trump Trump Trump.
The event seems to have been run by our university’s $350k Vice President for Inclusivity (she/her). The students (they/them) all shared their feelings and fears, knowing that they could be shot or kidnapped at any moment, and wanting to know how the university would accommodate them never leaving their dorm rooms. Because you know that ICE is everywhere, and any second now, there will be massive campus raids to exercise white supremacist violence against “Black and Brown bodies.” Like in Minneapolis, where the white dude was shot by ICE agents named Ochoa and Fernandez. The speakers at the event acknowledged the rather wild stories relayed by the students and validated their fears. Not once did anyone say, “Yes there have been some illegal detentions and some rights violations, but they have been rare and it’s as likely to happen to you as a lightning strike.” I note that the attendees all either looked like Renee Good or troons or danger-hair nose-ring sorts.
I was amused that one of the recruiters for the rape whistle/Signal gang (“Rapid Response”) acknowledged that they’re at the ready, but there’s been zero actual ICE action. She did acknowledge that there had been a “minor false alarm” when two guys in camo were spotted at an Applebee’s in a nearby town, and the Rapid Response team eagerly converged, whistles at the ready. After surrounding and screaming at the guys, the Rapid Response “team” discovered that they were a couple of rabbit hunters taking a lunch break. It sucks to be spoiling for a confrontation and your revolutionary cosplay is ruined by a lack of actual targets.
I noted that in the Q&A sessions after each talk, the moderators would not call on any white males with raised hands, including me (I was going to helpfully suggest, in response to the panics about cell phones being taken, that people remove any biometric unlock and make them passcode only, and wanted to talk about the unmentioned and clearly unconstitutional 100-mile border zone, but it was apparently more important that I be quiet, there’s a black woman speaking).
One thing she was not speaking about was birthdays, and today’s include a guy whose spirit always gives me a lift; a guy who knew what Atlanta was good for; a guy who was on his period; a guy who married Joe E. Brown; the first woman to go to the moon; my favorite economist; a quiet hater of Larry David; and an actor whose career was too short.
Life is short but Links are long (Links longus vita brevis). And there’s even one joke here that reached the Dennis Miller Ratio.
So they want body cameras. Oh no, they don’t want body cameras. I get the feeling that they’re idiots. Maybe the change is because fascists like me agreed that law enforcement actions need to be recorded.
Want something real to protest against? How about asset forfeiture? Which, like the 100 mile border zone, seems to not even be on the radar of caring Leftists.
Because their mayor isn’t far Left enough. This new candidate seems scattered.
How about we just defund DHS completely? Our gift from Bush The Younger, and no matter how much you hate him, it’s not enough.
This is why our commentariat is so smart and clever.

What if I don’t come here for serious discussion?
I don’t remember the exact number or the metric for deciding, I saw some years ago, maybe here I dunno, that only some small fraction of 1% of all the words spoken in the world in a day were of any use. The rest conveyed zero information, changed exactly nothing and were solely serving humans inborn love of the sound of their own voice or were intended to manipulate others into giving them something for free.
The ones that manipulate people into giving you something are in whatever percentage are of use. You can dislike manipulation or asking for free stuff, but If I ask you for something and get it my words were useful.
and today’s include a guy whose spirit always gives me a lift
Happy birthday Elisha Otis!
a guy who was on his period
Happy birthday Pete Buttigieg!
Though lord knows they keep trying.
They’ve been trying for a long time, haven’t they?
I haven’t identified that joke yet, but I wanted to state for the record that I would be much more interested in today’s Super Bowl if Dennis Miller were back in the booth.
Do you ever listen to the Carvey / Spade podcast? They imitate him often.
I miss his radio show. It was on locally for a while.
With body cameras it’s much harder, though not impossible, to make wild BS claims vis a vis the cops. Many (most?) of the claims of someone being mistreated or shot straight out of the blue are now met with a video showing the person to be acting like a lunatic while in the case of the police acting out they provide some degree of accountability, at least in theory.
As with most things leftists piss and moan about they interfere with the grift which is paramount to them…it’s certainly not about justice.
There is, of course, a bias in that from time to time cops can and do post facto have “equipment failures” when the evidence is that they’re being abusive. It helps to have custody of the equipment.
Absolutely, it’s not a perfect process but it does beat not having them. Also, the penalty for the police sabotaging the body camera equipment or footage should be very severe and handled in some fashion by an outside party. Who’s gonna watch the watchers, you know?
100%. And instant termination for turning it off or turning off the sound, which is extremely common practice.
Ideally they’d be live-streamed.
Having the audio off when the camera is running is BS. Why that is even an available function is beyond me.
It does seem like the constant refrain of “police brutality” esp. against “black and brown bodies” that was everywhere a few years ago has been dialed way down.
When your goal is to plot ways to excuse yourself from enforcing duly-enacted law AND you’re infected with a terminal case of TDS it’s going to get a bit hairy and nonsensical.

I’ve never even smoked a cigarette.
I rarely drink.

Most boring Glibertarian EVAH!
Of all those, the only one I wholeheartedly recommend is getting a gun.
I’d get a gun but my wife hasn’t wanted to have one around and I haven’t pushed it.

Strip clubs were always the same to me (ditto, about half a dozen times): the first 20 minutes were interesting, the second 20 minutes were boring, and the third 20 minutes were depressing.
Same except I skipped the first two parts and went straight to the third.
Emptying your wallet to get blue balled desperately hoping this time you’ll get lucky was frustrating enough in high school. No need to revisit it.
I was at a strip club for a friend’s bachelor party. I got propositioned by a dancer. I ended up negotiating what I thought was a pretty sweet deal. Her and her friend, $500 for the evening after her shift. It all fell apart when I told her I needed to be paid in advance.
Ba-dum tissssh!
Well, you h ave me beat but not by much.
Strip clubs are for people that like way overpriced drinks and getting laid because they have an 8 ball in their pocket. If you’re not into that or getting VD they’re just damn depressing.
Huh… I always assumed strip clubs were for those who wanted to be fleeced by the strippers and not get anything really back because the strippers know how to play the game. But again — never been.
OK OK, they’re for that too.
I’ve smoked pot off and on since high school.
Pack a day, more or less, for a few years in high school and college.
I drink daily.
I don’t gamble.
I’m usually in bed around 10pm.
I own guns. Or used to, prior to the boating accident.
I’ve never been to a strip club, except once at my second bachelor party.

((also, beer and titties beats juice and snatch every time)
Sorry dude — I’m usually in bed by 6 and up at 3 am. And “rarely drink” is more like “haven’t since I was 20 and even then it was a really weak screwdriver”.
If anyone is the most boring person here — I strongly suspect it is me. But I do like my life, so I’m not bitching.
And yeah — GT is right.. I should really prepare for a nice boating incident, especially now that I’m out of California. (Though pandemic craziness California is when I got closest to *cough* pulling the trigger on getting something just in case of needing a shotgun for home protection…)
I’m not bitching either. I’ve been married to my wife for 30 years. I like where I live. I have a good job 4 miles from home. And my granddaughter loves her Papa. I am blessed.
This is me minus the guns.
So, Karen Bass is gonna step into…

Being beaten within an inch of his life or tossed in the clink because he randomly chose some schmuck who’s the DA or friends with the DA would also suffice.
Speaking of anti-Semitism, I saw a clip of a Jewish comedian (which, of course, I cannot find right now) who was accosted in a grocery store. The accoster, a woman, sat and berated him for two minutes straight, calling him stupid and evil, in a public store, and finally asked “what do you have to say for yourself?”
He then says, in sign language and also in a deaf persons voice “I am sorry.” She freaks out, apologizes profusely, offers to buy his groceries and walk them to his car. And as she is loading them into the truck, he looks at her, and says in a normal voice
“Who is stupid now?”
I think I remember that.
That’s brilliant.

Many romanians can if they try. I never really tried myself did not see the point. But i have cowerkers who worked for american companies and have a passable accent, if you talk a lot with americans your accent improvrs. I have friends who moved to london and wotked on a posh accent.

WRONGTHINK!!!
Related to the ICE discussion, I’ll say I think one of the worst counter-solutions I’ve seen proposed is to come down harder on enforcement for employers.
I don’t think anyone proposing this has hired anyone without the benefit of an HR department. Increasing enforcement and penalties on employers are going to decimate small businesses. Navigating this, even 100% intention of compliance, is a minefield. I can’t even ask candidates if they are US citizens without running afoul of discrimination.
Separately from the legal quagmire, It’s unclear to me why it’s a business owner’s responsibility to enforce federal immigration rules. This is a strangely anti-libertarian stance. We should not be increasing obstacles and hoops on hiring people. It should be as simple as “Peter offers a job that pays $X. Paul accepts the job. Done.”
Milton Friedman was unavailable for comment re withholding.
Well, certainly asking about citizenship shouldn’t have any legal risk at all.
Again, there are things about immigration enforcement I would much rather not see. But when you have nearly 10% of the population here illegally, sucking down welfare benefits and spreading cultural, shall we say, toxins, then you can either shrug and say “So be it” or you can do otherwise distasteful things to solve the problem.
The rules about this are insane. You cannot ask candidates about their nationality or if they are US Citizens, although the citizenship is more nuance. This is screening based on a protected class. There are very specific legalese required about work authorization, and it’s a damn fine line to walk.
I am not against distasteful approaches to solving the problem. However, employers should not be used as tool of the State. The State should take the distasteful approaches.
However, employers should not be used as tool of the State.
Point of sale requirements to levy tax raises it’s desiccated corpse hand. Never quite understood how that passes muster. Other than FYTW – we want money, and this is the easiest way for us to mine it.
If we are going to say you need to be here legally to hold a job, then I don’t really see a way that employers aren’t going to have some responsibility. The alternatives are either, that rule isn’t enforced, really, or some pretty intrusive government “reviews” of employee eligibility generally.
If we’re going to say we don’t care if you are legally or not, for employment purposes, then there’s an incentive that isn’t going to reduce illegal immigration.
I agree with you, RC, but you need to make it so that those same employers are not penalized for doing their end of things.
It is the same with drug legalization. You still need to enforce public intoxication laws, provide a legal means of distribution, and so on. If you don’t, you end up with the situation you have in Portland.
Having a web of interacting laws that both penalize and reward for the same action is a prescription for the destruction of that society.
Me thinks the government can turn off the welfare spigot for illegal immigrants. When that happens, we can assess whether employers are needed as an enforcement mechanism.
It can but it won’t.
I would go a step further and say that if employers (or anyone else) are forced to perform functions for the government, they should be paid for that.
Immigration, like abortion, is one of the areas in which my libertarian creds are stretched furthest. I agree that in libertopia, freedom of movement and freedom of voluntary employment are absolute; if someone wanders across the border gets a job and lives peacefully it *shouldn’t* matter.
HOWEVER, welfare benefits to these people (and really anyone at all, but that’s a completely different argument) coupled with cultural degradation has really changed my thinking quite a bit. Contrary to libertopia, actual nation-states in reality are more than voluntary economic transactions. To that end, one of the best ways to stop the flood, in addition to better border security/vetting is to remove the demand signal. If they can’t get a job because no one will hire them then many will stop coming.
“Contrary to libertopia, actual nation-states in reality are more than voluntary economic transactions.”
I believe I had a post a little while back on that very topic, although I used the term “community” rather than nation-state. There should be more to life than making money.
Same. It was my biggest beef with most of the folks at TOS who would cling to that principle to the bitter end no matter how disastrous it was going to prove.
That said, I agree with the idea that the little guy should not be agents of the state but like has been noted, that ship has sailed.
I think we are going to have to settle with exactly what Hitler is attempting – closing the border and ejecting illegals with deportation orders. All the anti-ICE theater is telling me that it’s hurting Dems so that is nice side benefit.
Of course, when Hitler shuffles off – if he allows it! 🙄 – a Democrat will eventually arise and just reverse all of this and we’ll be back where we started.
I despise being an unpaid tax collector for three states and managing fuel taxes to an agency that should not exist.
Utitilitarianism vs principled theory and never the two shall meet.
I’ve long held that utilitarianism is an “ethical system” designed to rationalize almost any desired outcome, with a (strong?) bias against individual autonomy and responsibility.
Opportunism v Utopianism and never the two shall meet.
I admit I don’t know what the best answer for government is but it has to be somewhere between a self destructive utopian adherence to principle and an amoral obsession with what benefits me in the moment. As for immigration I want a system that comes as close as possible to only admitting people who want to assimilate to a society of self reliance and personal liberty. I’d love to see plenty of those people enter, but if the choice is between letting others in or keeping the good ones out I’d close the border.
I would say that the best is a government that can swing back and forth between the two according to the whims of the voting public.
I agree with you on this. I know someone who runs/owns a small business and they follow all the rules for verifying citizenship.
But, they’re fairly sure at least some of their employees are not citizens.
So, don’t hire them and get accused of racism? Or hire them and get destroyed by the feds?
Exactly, this is the reality of it. This approach grinds small businesses between two contradictory regulatory millstones.
Oh there are a lot more than two contradictory regulatory millstones. It’s more like one of those mining drills with hundreds of spinning heads.
two contradictory regulatory millstones
Gambler’s choice as to the author of the law/reg that dies. Incentives, they really work!
Illegals do often use the socials and names of their anchorbabies or their cousins.
Makes it harder on the employer in those cases.
Why stop at the employer? why not hold the consumer responsible. If you hire Bob’s Lawn Car and Hat Blocking LLC. to cut the grass or steam your fedora you’d better make damn sure the men doing the work are documented or face a hefty penalty.
Totally disagree. Wouldn’t take many busts to.put some fear and caution into employers – big and small.
Here’s a great example of a company that should be prosecuted to the max.
https://x.com/i/status/2019416627196875046
Not snark: what would you do if a small company reviewed the paperwork, all was good, hired someone, then it turns out the paperwork was fake?
Large employers (like a university system) can verify docs. Smaller employers can’t.
Large employers (like a university system) can verify docs. Smaller employers can’t.
Executives at Oracle smile. e-Verify for the win!
Fake paperwork is one thing, ignoring the law because it’s not enforced is another.
if our government really gave a damn, they’d make confirming the validity of paperwork easy.
Odds that the trucking company is owned by Indians that came in from Canada?
The government has no right to interfere in labor contracts between able and willing parties.
If they want to make the wages of the illegal not tax deductible. They can do that. If they arrest your illegal employee and deport him, they can do that.
The idea of revolution-LARPers prowling around 100% white, redneck areas of New York looking for ICE agents to harass is amusing but pitiable. What “action” do they expect to uncover?
And sparsely populated, so of course it’s priority on ICE’s radar screen.
We get some retired hippies on the town square protesting… whatever… but it’s pretty low-key thank goodness. Maybe the major action is up on one or the other campuses but they might as well be on the moon from my perspective so I don’t see a lot of it.

The lengths the media are going to drum up any kind of interest in these Olympics is impressive.
How a narrative evolves over time.
Thomas Jefferson owned slaves.
Sally Hemings was his slave.
Jennings had children who weer shown to have a DNA match with Jefferson’s family.
It’s possible Jefferson was the father and slept with her.
That was what I was taught when I was younger. It’s POSSIBLE. Because that’s all we know. Someone in the Jefferson family probably fathered at least one of those children if not all of them.
Somehow over the years it morphed from a possibility to assholes in the media and the slavishly propagandized retards who listen to them that there is no doubt Jefferson was the father.
It’s obvious why they want this so desperately to be true, but there’s nothing in particular indicating it was Jefferson himself and not, say, his halfwit brother.
I know many historians now just repeat this bullshit narrative, but it’s something that we simply cannot know with certainty at this point in time and we may never get a definitive answer.
And one of the low-key funniest aspects of the propaganda is that they always depict Hemings as relatively dark skinned when we have been told she could almost pass for white and was supposedly 3/4ths white. Sometimes she is completely dark skinned in portrayals.
I’m not aware of a single society* where darker skin confers a social advantage, but in a lot of societies lighter skin does so.
*With the possible exception of that segment of Western society infected with wokism, but I don’t count that as a whole society.
I think it’s more than a segment of society at this point. We have people who want to identify as black despite the supposed existence of white privilege. Same with any minority status at this point. It doesn’t hold true in all cases, but we have certainly enshrined privileges into law for people of those or that status.
Same thing with sexual identity. Growing up I was told ad nauseam that no one would CHOOSE to be gay. Yet you in fact see people almost doing exactly that.
The current state of academic “history” has more in common with tarot (no offense Not Adahn) than scholarly study.
Hey! I resemble that remark.
There were in fact family legends that it was his brother, but those were dismissed and raising them as a possibility will get you dog piled, because that narrative isn’t useful to attack the Jeffersonian ideas.
Back in ’04 I toured Monticello.
One of the people in my group asked the tour guide about Sally Hemming’s kid that Thomas Jefferson might have fathered.
The tour guide said, “The DNA tests show the child’s father was a male Jefferson. It’s likely Thomas was not at Monticello when Sally got pregnant but that his brother was. We have books in the gift shop if you want to lean more about the controversy.”
Occam would say it was Thomas Jefferson. The salient fact is that Jefferson owned slaves, not that he and one of them were in lust/love. And the kids would be 7/8s white.

She was also by accounts attractive and sent to France as a nanny for his daughter (he had asked for an older nanny but his staff screwed up). She was also related to his recently deceased wife’s family.
So he’s a grieving widower and his wife’s hot young cousin who cannot deny him shows up in France away from prying eyes of political opponents and in a country where men having mistresses is not only accepted but encouraged.
Doesn’t mean anything happened but still relevant information.
Sally was also likely to have been the half sister of his wife.
Which in my mind makes his protection of her logical.
Did he have kids with her? Who knows. Could have been his brothers or him. No surviving male lone so it’s not really easy to know.

“As bad as you think government schools can be, it’s even worse.”
I know it’s been discussed here plenty, but I still find it fascinating how teachers and nurses specifically seem to be the most infested with commie ratfucks. I don’t know if it’s just a symptom of broader trends in which those professions are over-represented by young-ish women and the AWFLication of that demo or something in which people with commie tendencies gravitate toward those professions. Someone smarter than me should grift a massive grant and study it for the next 10 years.
I lean towards it being occupied mostly by dopey young women who went to college myself. Education majors in particular are a rather dull lot who will believe whatever they’re told…which says a lot about why we are where are as a society.
Education majors are the lowest of the low in college.
I roomed with a guy who wanted to be a music teacher for a semester at Memphis State. He had me proof read his papers for him. They were ridiculously bad. There were sentences that had no verbs. I’d just point out a few misspellings and that would be it. If you actually tried to fix it, we’d have been there for days.
The worst of it was he got solid B’s on all those papers. I told myself that he was just going to teach music (and he was an outstanding musician).
My theory is that a lot of those teachers are just bright enough to realize that they are stuck in a crappy job that is just a glorified baby sitter and think that the reason for that is a broken system. Not poor choices (or lack of ability) on their part. So they are down with the Commies (or any other movement) that tears that system down. They think that they will be at the top in the New System.
I think a significant problem is that society treats teaching as a calling rather than a job.
If you don’t have the necessary skills for a particular job, you probably won’t get hired. But a calling is something we have to let you do.
(Similar problem in religious institutions but that’s a longer discussion).
I had a roommate who was an education major at Berkee School of Music, and a drummer.
So, drummer/teacher.
Stereotypes exist for a reason.

Average intelligence of a bag of hammers for both.
It also their unions pushing leftist ideology.
Groupthink, along with mean girls.
It doesn’t take more than one or two in a school/hospital for it to become the de rigueur thought, and necessary for promotion. And that leads to “we have always thought like this.”
No amount of incompetence will ever cost a teacher their job. That’s quite attractive to the incompetent.
My sister was one of something like only 115 teachers fired in the state of Oregon one year.
Never got an actual reason for the firing out of her but I have to assume she beat the shit out of a kid and they simply made her go away.
Got hired at a private Christian school later and they cancled her contract mid semester, paid her the full year to got rid of her.

Working with Black people deep in the throes of various kinds of addiction, I’ve become particularly attuned to how even casual forays into new physical or digital worlds can inflict on them and their families with years of emotional and financial pain. And gambling addiction is both underdiagnosed and undertreated in racial minorities. ”

Tiresome shit is tiresome.
Just say blacks have poor impulse control Jerez. The fact is that most addicts are poly addicts regardless of race or ethnicity. Also, matcha?
Or perhaps some cultures are less likely to teach self-discipline (the ability to deny oneself something they want) at a young age than others and race has little or nothing to do with it.
Personally I think that is it based on my observation of whites that do not teach their children self-discipline.
“As a _____” journalism is an immediate nope from me.
I’d say I’ve become my parents or grandparents but I don’t remember the gulf in mentality/behavior/etc. between the young and old being so wide when I was that age. Maybe the unstoppable feedback loop of social media garbage is turning them into another species or something.
There it is.
Bass is a literal communist FFS. How the fuck do you run to the left of that??
Oh, I see it’s all the same vacuous promises to “fix” everything. Carry on. 🙄
Adam Carolla must be tearing his hair out. He hates Raman.
He plays this clip of her blaming Toyota for catalytic converter thefts all the time.
And removing the no gay cruising U-turn sign.
And she didn’t do shit to save the Simpson’s treehouse in LA
I have no sympathy for LA. It’s tragic to watch the city destroy itself. As recently as 2019 downtown LA was thriving even with the crazy politics. LA knows what it voted for. If the citizens want more it, then enjoy the predictable results.
“Aside from her betrayal, she has been a good wife and companion, and I still love her.”

Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
Old school cuck.
I always wonder and kind of hope these guys at least get paternity tests done in these relationships, but I fear many of them are far too cowardly to do so.
Moot point legally if the parents were married at the time of birth.
I think a paternety test would ruin the fantasy for these guys.
Or maybe it’s just a sign the culture rewards extreme narcissism now.
OFFS. Nobody is impressed with your wallowing in imaginary victimhood anymore.
Beyond some impossible-to-eliminate baseline from actual bigots, any significant homophobia left in the West is being created by the alphabet soup activist crowd.
Stories like this one help.
This particular story buried the lede lol
“It was heard how the presence of semen, both human and non-human were discovered. A DNA sample from the dog of the man who went down the lane, was found to match the sample.”
(((Jarflax:
As a taxpayer, can I ask why there was any effort to DNA test dogs? Why incur (heh, heh) that cost?
Why does the identity of the dog matter? Is it like when a predator kills a human and has to be put down because it now “has a taste for humans”?
Esp. the tranny activist crowd.
A lot of that movement is deeply “homophobic” but they will never admit it.
Your link doesn’t work, Jarflax.
Ted’S:
No welfare shaming.
It works for me. I bet you are just Dog Fuckee phobic
French monkeypox has entered the chat.
Finally, we will get to see gay figure skaters?
Where the hell have they been the last 30 years?
Glad I refreshed. Yeah, what a brave group to come out to. Nobody would have guessed.
They’re not just gay now. They’re boldly queer!
All I care about is having the Olympics end and never having to hear from/about Lindsey Vonn again.
She has been a blight upon Minnesoda for decades. We get so much “She’s One of Us” coverage of her here.
Unfortunately the bright lights have made me come to the conclusion that she is a vapid midwit who happens to be really good at going fast down a slippery hill and not much else.
What RC said. I had to laugh when I read that headline.
Gay figure skaters? Well….knock me down with a feather!
Figure skating used to be dominated by manly men, like Johnny Weir.
the presentations were broad and considered various viewpoints
The gamut, from A to B.
“Today reports, “Glenn, who identifies as pansexual, became the first out LGBTQ+ woman to win the U.S. Women’s Figure Skating Championship when she skated her way to victory in January 2024…..
Glenn told reporters, “Yeah. It’s been a hard time for the community overall under this administration.”
“It isn’t the first time that we’ve had to come together as a community and try and fight for our human rights. Now, especially, it’s not just affecting the queer community, but many other communities, and I think that we are able to support each other in a way that we didn’t have to before. And because of that, it’s made us a lot stronger.””
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/02/woke-team-usa-figure-skater-amber-glenn-whines/
There are no gays in figure skating.
“It’s been a hard time for the community overall under this administration.”
Yeah, those ICE thugs who, in addition to deporting Mother Teresa, are also charged with ensuring that penises only go into vaginas have sure become cockblocks.
P’SA – there is no functional difference and only the most ridiculous of technical differences between pansexualism and bisexuality.
Doesn’t the label of ‘pan’ open up interspecies play?
But it has that extra soupçon of LOOK AT ME and that’s all that matters.
In Olden Times, you would have kept your private peccadilloes to yourself. In a sport that is driven by judges based on who knows what, you wouldn’t want to give them any reason to downgrade your score. You’d also worry that the selection committee wouldn’t pick you to go to the Olympics because of the distraction you might cause.
Now? Gotta have some fashionable twist or you are doomed. Now judges and the selection committees are all terrified that if they don’t give the crazies everything they want, there will be a mob on their doorstep.
I don’t care much for the “judged” sports. Can’t discern the babble about “he touched his boot for 1 sec. and he should have touched it for 1/2 sec. so deduct 10 points.” Hey, the puck went in a net and the team scored. It doesn’t matter if the shooter took a header after he shot, or he backhanded it awkwardly instead of blasted it two handed from the slot.
Runner crossed the line before all the others, not “his costume is so beautiful and his stride so effortless.”
She’s not pansexual. She’s the straight girl that experimented (or maybe thought about it) in college, but can now leverage that into social credit.
Of course they no longer want body cams. It prevents them from “controlling the narrative”. Right now they have an army of iPhone warriors stirring up shit and recording it, and they have the ability to edit and throw away the bad parts right in their pocket. Extra camera angles? No bueno.
It still amazes me how the Dems flip so fast on issues. Big pharma is the devil/YOU MUST TAKE THE SHOT. Immigration is bad for workers/now we need open borders. Body cams are great/body cams are bad. It must be exhausting trying to keep up with what you’re supposed to believe today.
-Insert opinion here based upon desired outcome.
In a way it sounds like heaven but I just can’t bring myself to do it.
Principals over principles, feelings over reason, etc. etc.
Once bodycams started to show how attractive women or minorities interact with cops, they just became problematic.
No snow? If I understood correctly, the women’s downhill training run was cut short because it was snowing too hard to see. It was definitely coming down in the clip I watched.
Swiss rejoice; Gold medal in men’s downhill.
Seeing bold queer excellence on the Olympic ice is a major shift
Stop it. You’re killing me.
While i respect the grit and determination of american wimminz skiing downhill injured when already kinda old aint all that smart
We got an anonymous letter in the mailbox this week. It was a card that had a message written in some woman’s writing that basically said:
“We are your neighbor and we wish we had gotten to know you better before all of this ICE stuff happened. We hope you feel safe and treasured in our neighborhood”
No contact info, so if Mrs. Holiness felt like Trump’s gestapo ICE agents were closing in, there would be no way to get help from our new fun neighbor.
Mrs. Holiness is beside herself. She isn’t an illegal and doesn’t want to be lumped in with them. She loves ICE and wants more illegals deported. She can’t decide if Ilhan Omar should be jailed or deported.
The kids and I are having a lot of fun asking if she felt “treasured” or frightened of ICE. Gets a growl out of her every time.
Asians are more white than whites so they are free to stay. Everyone knows this.
Anyone self-important enough to do that will eventually reveal themself, then y’all can tell her to fuck off. It’ll be fun.
“… but we don’t really want to get to know you better now.”
That is my favorite part too.
My guess is that they think that this gives them a +1 on their saving throw against narcissism. “I made them feel safe without even expecting thanks!”
I’m pretty sure Stinky is correct too. When the weather gets nicer, I am sure someone will buttonhole her on a walk to let her know how lucky she is to have such caring neighbors.
Poor saps are in for an earful.
* We’ve also had a few relatives text/email us to ask if we need any help hiding from Trump. They got an earful about how much she likes Trump.
Por que no los dos?
Si se puede!
If I were a legal immigrant I’d be pissed at illegals too.
I’m already a chump as a natural born citizen but watching the left fawning all over that crowd of leeches would make me blow my top.
Anecdotal, but when I lived in Tejas in the early 1990s, the legit mexican migrants that took the time and effort to become citizens HATED the border jumpers.
The Tejanos in South Texas are famously, err, inhospitable, to illegals. The illegals would go straight to Dallas from our stretch of Texas (San Angelo) when I lived there around 2010, even though there was a sizable “Latino” population.
I always liked San Angelo. Seemed to be on the periphery of the hill country and more desert-like.
And the women from Goodfellow AFB were notorious sluts.
Airforce women sluts.
No way.
I wonder if the barracks bunnies get more randy the gayer the service is?
Sounds like it was delivered by the lady who brought the pie to the new town sheriff in Blazing Saddles and then told him not to tell anybody that she was there.
Daily Ray of Sunshine
How sweet
I know a cross-eyed cat who does that.
Mrs. Holiness is beside herself. She isn’t an illegal and doesn’t want to be lumped in with them. She loves ICE and wants more illegals deported. She can’t decide if Ilhan Omar should be jailed or deported.
There’s your ray of sunshine.
My enthusiasm is tempered by the fact that Mrs. Holiness’ attitude is grounded in a respect for government. She has the weird idea that govt is trying to do good and save us.
During the lockdowns we got in lots of fights about that. She complained that too many Americans (she clearly meant me) don’t obey the govt like they should.
So, she is mostly mad about people rioting and not obeying the rules.
Whether someone should get mad about people disobeying the rules rather depends on the rules, doesn’t it?
RC:
Koreans have a really strong streak of Confucianism in them. You honor the hierarchy. If someone was put above you, it is because they know more than you and you need to obey them.
The only time she seems to have grown entirely free of that aspect of her upbringing is when it comes to the idea that the Husband is in charge of the household and the Wife and Children should honor and obey him.
Lol. Funny how it works that way.

Can he be more cringe?
Well, they both hate the United States and everything it stands for so this is unsurprising.
I was gonna boycott today’s festivities out of principle but I’m kind of sickly wondering just how awful everything is going to be, from the game I have interest in to the shitty commercials to the sycophantic praise of that smug prick at halftime.
“no” interest in
Puppy Bowl on mute.
Grrrrrr I’m a little sour on the species lately. My neighbors leave theirs alone for hours every day and it just whines and cries non-stop. Not conducive to getting my work done. Dogs do not belong in an apartment building IMHO.
Oh, I’m sorry. I wish mine had mute buttons. I gather you aren’t up to keeping it company.
The Post Millennial’s Katie Daviscourt previously reported that that house was listed as a halfway house that received $2.3 million in state funds from April 2024 to March 2025, but was being used to harbor illegal immigrants.
According to Real Clear Investigations, law enforcement later tracked the suspects to a Portland-area suburb, where they were staying at the same residence, which was described as a drug den with “residents possibly using drugs in the back yard, large numbers of people coming and going at night, possibly entire vans full of people, and people being dazed or drugged… and on a few occasions groups of young women or girls being present at the address.”
Jeff Eager, the former mayor of Bend, Oregon, told the outlet that the owners of Uplifting Journey LLC, the recovery provider, had ties to men indicted in Arizona for setting up a $60 million Medicare fraud ring. The men were accused of laundering money by sending it to Rwanda.
“I feel like I’ve seen the tip of the iceberg in Oregon,” Eager said. “It’s a huge scandal, and I’m the only one that’s covered it so far… The state government here couldn’t care less.”
https://thepostmillennial.com/tren-de-aragua-member-arrested-for-torturing-oregon-woman-lived-in-drug-rehab-facility-funded-medicaid
Why couldn’t DOGE find any of this?
Because DOGE died on the vine when the Republican Congress refused to back its play?
Also, not sure how much visibility DOGE had into state-administered programs.
DOGE: We found hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud.
Republican Congress: Oh, no! *passes continuing resolution to maintain current funding levels*
I was amazed at how hard it was for DOGE to have visibility into Federal programs.
You’d think that one of the easier things to do is to have a single database that captured all money spent by the govt. Should be public. Anyone should be able to query it.
If the data was consolidated, it wouldn’t be that hard to find this crap.
When Thomas Massie protested and tried to cut that funding – they try to primary him.
Alsotoo, the scope of the grift is sooo big, that even what they did could find in a 4 year period would just be the tip of the iceberg.
Unfortunately the bright lights have made me come to the conclusion that she is a vapid midwit who happens to be really good at going fast down a slippery hill and not much else.
I used to know some Olympic athletes. That is pretty much the primary prerequisite for being an Olympic athlete. People who are willing to completely focus their lives on one singular prowess.
midwit or just kinda dumb?
I knew a guy in the Marines who had a cousin or something that made the summer Olympics in some obscure sport. I can’t remember what it was, but it was something that made the guys in the archery events seem like famous superstars.
The obscurity was the selling point for this guy. So few people actually did it, that it wasn’t that hard to qualify. Didn’t take tons and tons of training.
The other thing that I was told was that the Olympic Village turns into Sodom and Gomorrah. All the athletes start drinking and fucking like animals as soon as they are done with their event. All of them are blowing off 4 years of rigid training (while surrounded by a lot of other hot good looking athletes).
That’s a known thing; they provided 200,00 condoms for the athletes village in Paris (about 15k athletes)
“Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff has drawn criticism from political rivals by telling people attending one of his campaign events they must present a government-issued photo ID, even as he has positioned himself against similar requirements for voters in federal elections.”
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/democratic-senator-requires-photo-id-enter-campaign-event-while-opposing
LOLOL
I never see them calling the requirement for REAL ID to fly being racist either.
It’s almost like they’re lying about their concerns.
So does anyone care who wins today?
https://nypost.com/2026/02/08/betting/super-bowl-2026-predictions-seahawks-vs-patriots-expert-picks-from-the-post/
*raises hand*
Indeed, Slum and I are rooting for the ‘Hawks!
I still have a lingering grudge against the Patriots.
That’s about my rooting interest in the game. We’ll have it on, although we’ll be switching to the Puppy Bowl for halftime.
Not in the least.
My boy won today.
8 trips around the sun.
Re: the ICE protesting whistle blowers. Wasn’t there some blowback from immigrant groups that told the whistle blowers to shut the fuck up and stop doing it? But probably the white saviors at little Alfred would not really take kindly to being told that by brown and black people.
As a Viqueen fan, I’d like to see Darnold choke as bad as he did for the Purple last year.
Luckily for him, the Sea Hawks seem to have a really good running game that they can lean on. Takes a lot of pressure off him.
I see the media is beating that “racist Obama” meme horse to the consistency of chunky peanut butter.
Why hasn’t anybody mentioned Michelle’s face was on the male gorilla? There’s your story.
Related to Lindsay Von: “…who happens to be really good at going fast down a slippery hill and not much else.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEHZJNQ5Y4A
So what is the official glibertarian team to suppirt in the supersbolz? Patriots are too boston and seatle are too commie. Tough one.
Cradle of Liberty.
Pats, obvs.
Unfortunately I expect the Pats to get buried. ‘Hawks have a very tough defense.
Go Chickens of the Sea!
I’m not optimistic about a Pats win, but who knows. Pats D is good, too, and the offense faced the #1, #2 and #5 defenses in the playoffs.
We’ll see.
Former Patriot still owes me $5 from a bet in the 7th grade.
They can lose.
Everlasting gobstopper
The Epstein files reveal a patriarchy in action. This is a world where the men are rich and powerful, and the women are not. The emails showcase the private behaviour of a male ruling class, as they network, joke and trade information. Women exist at the periphery, tolerated because they organise the diaries of the busy men, they arrange food, they grace a table, they provide sex.
A typical email from Epstein to a man in his network will say: “Head of the Nobel Peace Prize committee Thorbjorn Jagland will be staying in ny with me. You might find him interesting.” Epstein is writing to Richard Branson in characteristic style, combining some casual showing off with an offer to share access to someone else influential.
A typical email from Epstein to a woman might say: “Take a selfie of your pussy and send.”
One hundred years from now gender oppression scholars will be rooting through those emails, cataloguing the patriarchical criminality of The Great Sex Monster Epstein.
Can we not just blame the jews and leave patriarchy aside?
So Ghislane Maxwell is chopped liver now?
She’s a victim as were all of the of age “models” that’d lure the girls-to-be-used in. Before they got recruited by Epstein they were good churchgoing girls they was.
The emails actually said take a selfie of your taco or is that wishcasting?
There are two groups of people in the Epstein files. The men: the billionaires, the tech entrepreneurs, the bankers, statespeople, politicians, leaders, people who need to be cultivated because they offer Epstein ways to strengthen his network of influence. And the women, who exist as insignificant plus-ones, or as people to whom he doles out money because they are providing him with services. Women feature as objects to be looked at and improved – teeth seen to, weight lost, STDs treated, features fixed. (“You might want to see a doctor about reducing the nose a little before you turn 23,” Epstein suggests to an unnamed woman in July 2017.) The emails show that Epstein is often irritated by the women.
What does it say about these women, that they will willingly suffer these indignities (for a price)? I have yet to see any reports of the so-called victims being forcibly restrained or held captive.
If all prostitutes are victims then they were victims.
The power of the patriarchy mesmerizes them, strips them of agency and leaves nothing but Stepford shells.
I’m not necessarily rooting for Seattle, but based on their last few games I expect them to win.
