“No, I’m not putting troops anywhere,” Trump told reporters during the meeting. “If I were, I would not tell you, but I’m not putting troops.”
You can tell he’s a salesman and not a programmer. The Executive had better be putting the troops somewhere, even if it is domestic base postings. We don’t have a Phantom Zone projector yet, Trump… (“COME TO ME, BROTHER OF OMAR! KNEEL BEFORE DON!”)
Trump Says He’s ‘Not Putting Troops Anywhere’ Amid Iran War
Thats no way to get a serios world war going
We’re only going to have a frivolous world war.
world kinetic action
World police action. “STOP RESISTING, CHINA!”
He wouldn’t want to be thought of as a joker.
That’s what Stephen Miller is for.
What you did, Ted’s. It was seen.

Education Department says Treasury will take over some federal student loan responsibilities
It’s not libertarian, but part of me wants to see SWAT teams going after the people who don’t pay back their loans.
I agree that swatting would help with this problem, but it needs to happen earlier in their lives, on a more regular basis, from their parents, to be effective.
They SWAT unit need to go after the people that allowed these fools to sign up for ridiculous shit, at premium costs, claiming that was college education. Any school with a studies degree program or where the humanities fight white history, needs to have those departments carpet bombed.
So, all of them?
Corporate swat teams.
Used to be that Rocco and Vinnie would be sent out to persuade debtors to pay up or suffer the consequences.
Ugh… thanks for that morning nut punch there, Banjos.
Revoking COVID19 subsidies, Obamacare and Obama’s take over of student loans are three of my top wish list items.
Of course, I’m sure a District Judge would explain to us that regardless of voting, will of Congress or anything else — Federal money must still be shoveled to the insurance industry, the education administration / DEI industry, etc…
You can’t end the programs. People have come to rely on the spending.
But you can, of course, raise taxes. Because no one is relying on paying their own bills or anything…
Of course, I’m sure a District Judge would explain to us that regardless of voting, will of Congress or anything else — Federal money must still be shoveled to the insurance industry, the education administration / DEI industry, etc…
Why not? The judiciary has already usurped executive policy and decision-making, why not usurp congressional appropriation of funds?
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/03/19/analysis-nearly-half-of-immigrant-households-in-u-s-are-on-welfare/
Can I have some moneys? Yes I am not an immigrant still…
How the fuck did this happen? I can’t believe people still do not see what the democrats have done to them. The same cabal of crooks that promised free and abundant healthcare, then foisted Obamacare on us all, forcing every US citizen to buy insurance or pay a penalty, then went to give not just healthcare, but everything hocked in the vote buying welfare system to illegals. FOR FREE. Not really, for their vote: legal or illegal.
In a sane world the democrat pols would all be dragged to gallows for this shit by their supporters that have been betrayed.
It seems like two things can be true:
Most illegal immigrant households are NOT on welfare, since there’ a barrier to entry in faking up the documentation needed.
Most legal immigrant households ARE on welfare, since those brought over as refugees or any other resettlement programs will have bennies baked into the resettlement process.
I guess it comes down to the ratio of legal/illegal immigrants.
As someone that sponsored two immigrants, I believe legal immigrants have to sign an agreement they will not use any of the social system. Has this changed recently?
See, I remember reading stories about asylum seekers getting set up with like six months of rent and a food allowance. Were your two just normies who wanted to move here or were they part of a Currently Popular Thing?
They let anyone come in and mouth the word asylum and get at the benes.
Add in the “temporary” refugee programs that have been going on for 30, yes 30 years, and the massive ID theft fraud that the cartels can no doubt facilitate for a small fee of course, and you get what you get.
Illegals get on it because their wages are not counted, their anchorbabies qualify for all the programs because their parents have no income.
Undocumented immigrants have been a huge benefit to the U.S. economy, as this CATO Institute study shows.

Anecdotally, my friend here in Texas owns a roofing company that installed 200 roofs in 2024, about 160 last year, and in January he told me that he’ll be lucky to do 40 this year. The reason is because he simply doesn’t have the labor available to him. Some workers have gone back to Mexico and many of those who are here legally are afraid to show up to work. It’s the same for highway and road construction and repair. Y’all might want to invest in companies that make shock absorbers.
Chuck Norris Reportedly Rushed To Hospital For Medical Emergency
No jokes this is serious
My question on seeing that headline was “Whose emergency? And what kind of medical emergency needs Chuck Norris to punch it?”
Malaria had a terminal case of Chuck Norris.
Given the links, this is all that feels appropriate this morning. Bleah.
Essex Police pauses use of live facial recognition cameras due to racial bias concerns
So much easier to arrest facebook posters… But i guess in a way this is a win for liberty… The goverment not trying to follow you everywhere
lol They’re not doing it to advance freedom… they’re doing it because being called “racist” is literally the worst.
The change comes after the Trump administration announced last year that it was giving the Education Department’s responsibilities to five different federal agencies as it aims to close the overarching department.
“Aims to close”. Huh. So when is the Trump administration going to bat for legislation to terminate the department like it did for the Big Beautiful Bill?
Moving the responsibilities is not closing the agency. It’s shuffling the deck chairs.
“This is a great reorg… Titanic, even… the best, the greatest!”
Deck chairs are now the responsibility of the Department of Furniture since the Department of Aquatic Relaxation has been eliminated. You don’t expect people to buy/bring their own chairs now do you?
Some of the legislation before Congress to end the DoE shuffles deck chairs.
I expect if the Trump admin actually does go to bat for legislation ending the DoE, they will support one of those bills so they can claim they ended the DoE. Pay no attention to all the programs still existing.
I am glad it never reached the point where I had to face my principles and deal with “clot shot or resignation”.
Same. I feel for anyone who had to, especially anyone who had to do it to their kids (I think California if you weren’t home schooling made it absolutely mandatory for one, wouldn’t be surprised if all the blue-ish states did…).
Glad I took the layoff instead of the shot.
That was my red line. If my company required it to work, I would have refused and made them fire me. Then hit back with a massive lawsuit later on, probably right around now when all the adverse effects are being confirmed, along with the lack of efficacy.
My wife’s company required it (even though she was work from home even pre-plandemic). We both agreed she would not and that they would have to fire her. And then nothing happened, thankfully.
I did. And I caved. Because I have a family to support.
But I will not cave again, especially now that the kids are almost out of the house.
Self employed.
We played along for the first couple months full well knowing that masks and all the other bullshit did nothing.
Chuck Norris ascended to Heaven, glared at St. Peter, and returned to Earth.
Who dies first: Chuck Norris or Keith Richards?
Chuck Norris isn’t dying, Death is Chuck Norrising.
The answer is “No”.
In a battle to the death between Chuck Norris and Keith Richards, the Singularity is created.
Apparently Keith Richards was allowed to win…
As Easter approached, Chuck Norris wondered what it was like to rise from the dead. So he tried.
It took Jesus 2 days. Chuck Norris did it in 45 minutes.
Chuck dies but the reaper is scared to collect. After three days Chuck gets bored so comes back. We get an undead Chuck Norris.
ABC cancels ‘Bachelorette’ season with Taylor Frankie Paul, citing 2023 video
I know many of you were looking forward to another season.
Did the partner deserve it?
I’d be interested in watching a version in which the real goal is for the male contestants spot the red flags and leave voluntarily.
Speaking of which, is there a lipstick lesbian version of the show? Would watch.
Considering how violent lesbian relations can be, I might watch a bunch of overweight butch people with colored hair, piercings, and tattoos get all ticked and fight each other..
NPR ran a story about this. A longer story than any of the three terrorist attacks that occurred recently.
We need public funded news to ensure such important stories are covered.

Still wondering if this duck is wearing shoes?
I’m wondering if drugs are coming out of its ass.
Drug mules are too easily caught. It’s time from drug ducks.
You shouldn’t.
Now I can’t wait for “Duck Day Afternoon” to hit the big screen.
One of the problems with the foreign entanglements the Founders warned about is that other countries don’t have the same goals. Trump is trying to steer this thing to some kind of resolution before our Gulf allies and the global economy is destroyed.
Israel doesn’t give a shit about those things and would love it if Iran burned the Arab states into poverty.
By your logic Israel also being attacked also seems to not matter?
That happens when you start a war.
What was not being targeted initially in Israel were the refineries and desalination plants.
Also not targeted yet, for at least another step up in the escalation ladder is Israel’s nuclear site in Dimona.
Err, depending on how you count these things, the “start a war” thing between Iran and Israel happened when Iran’s proxies crossed the border to murder, rape, torture, and kidnap Israelis on October 7.
I don’t buy the Oct 7 story.
https://x.com/i/status/1965945010421203238
“That happens when you start a war.”
You talking about the mullahcracy and their 1979 shit, right?
What part of 10/7 don’t you buy, Drake?
I don’t buy the Oct 7 story.
Sure, even though the Gazans gleefully video recorded and disseminated every atrocity, clearly (((they))) faked it.
Alex: That’s the CIA’s fault for overthrowing Mossadegh.
What part of 10/7 don’t you buy, Drake?
The part where an atrocity occurred that was not caused by the (((Jews))). Islam would be entirely peaceful, and no one would hate America, and there would be no socialism, or persecution of Christians, or hatred for Western Civilization, or corruption in government without (((them))).
Exactly what Charlie said. I do not buy the idea that Hamas made a massive breakthrough across the most heavily guarded border in the world with pickup trucks, while the Israeli military didn’t respond for half a day.
So… LIHOP?
(reminisces about living in Austin in the early 2000s)
(One of Alex Jones’s big breakthroughs was his bringing in people from both “the USG Let [9/11] Happen On Purpose” and the “Made It Happen On Purpose” camps so that his listeners could decide the truth for themselves.)
Because complacency and screwups never happen. Right.
The most heavily guarded border in the world.
So you had been lead to believe.
That was quite obviously propaganda to keep haji at bay.
Weirdly, the Gulf states have gone from being somewhere on the pro-Iran to pro-status quo spectrum, to being in favor of war on Iran and regime change. I guess it took the closure of Hormuz and being missiled by Iran to finally convince them an Iran that would close Hormuz and had the ability and willingness to missile them was a bad thing, for them. All those years of tolerating, if not supporting, the regime counted for absolutely nothing.
They have to tolerate each other because they share the Gulf. But different ethnicities and wings of Islam.
Ideally for the world all the flavors of that death cult go at it and kill eachother.
Looks like the Iranians stopped tolerating their neighbors, and their neighbors are returning the favor.
The surprising thing is, nobody apparently thought that it would come to this sooner or later. Iran controls Hormuz, builds massive missile stockpiles, is working very hard to get nukes, and once they have all that leverage, they’re never going to use it?

I made the mistake of crossing over to East Fremont Street on my last Vegas visit. I wish the hood rats dressed that conservatively on East Fremont. Also, do not go to East Fremont after dark, or ever.
You have to cross to get to the Container Park just off Fremont…its a fun little game.
Also I laughed at the one blurred our photo while there was ass and snapper in the others.
I, for one, applaud the cheekiness of the NYP. They found a hyper local story in a far away place and ran with it to titillate their readers. See, this isn’t some gratuitous “page six bird,” this is real news.
We went to the local rodeo last year.
It looked like that too.
*Sudden Epiphany*
So, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo? That’s its current name.
Its former name was “Houston Fat Stock Show and Rodeo.”
It all makes sense now!
Yikes, the ladies at our local rodeo are far more attractive.
Oh there are absolute stunners there (or were, I’ve been out of town for a while). But they don’t fit the story being told.
“Douglas Murray: Deranged Tucker Carlson backstabs Trump”
https://nypost.com/2026/03/19/opinion/deranged-tucker-carlson-backstabs-trump/
I told you assholes to knock it off.
Is Douglas Murray still on Israel’s payroll?
The phrase “The President’s strong Middle East policy…” appears, so take a guess.
Tucker hasn’t changed.
Erm, OK… What are you smoking/snorting/injecting?
Is this the Trump people voted for?
According to polls, yes. 85% of (R)s approve of his handling of Iran. Among those self-identifying as MAGA, it’s 100%.
[SLD about polls]
Politics are an exercise in coalition building, unfortunately as you take action some members of the coalition who joined up for other reasons will dislike that action and feel betrayed, because people are idiots and think someone agreeing with you in one case means they agree with you in all cases. The people for whom America First means complete isolationism are angry and have decided that the only possible reason anyone would disagree with them is because (((AIPAC))) bribed, blackmailed, or brainwashed them. The fact that Iran has been attacking the United States in an ongoing low level war since 1979, and is murdering protesters on an industrial scale is dismissed as (((propaganda))).
I am still more worried that the left will put me in a camp at some point, but the Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson followers would happily do it as well because my paternal grandparents were (((Jews))). This has moved way beyond “avoid foreign entanglements”.
I hate the “since 79” stuff. The same logic says we’ve been attacking them since 42. Occupation, coups, shooting down a civilian airliner, aiding Iraq during their war…
Instead of keeping score, we could have sent actual diplomats, made a deal on nukes, dropped sanctions.
Some say Israel wouldn’t allow it, other say the anti-China neo-cons, maybe both. But this is now a giant shit show.
Yep. He’s the same guy.
Throw some labels at him to make him the boogie man now.
I don’t think the Candice Owen’s and Tucker followers have any overlap.
She’s more than lost the plot if she ever had it.
The only thing I can fault Tucker for is his awkward laugh.
No country in their right mind would ever make “a deal” with us about nukes. They’d build them and say “come and take them”.
Yep. Lesson learned again.
I thought backstabbing was a (((specialty)))?

Delve, a YC-backed compliance startup that raised $32 million, has been accused of systematically faking SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance reports for hundreds of clients. According to a detailed Substack investigation by DeepDelver, a leaked Google spreadsheet containing links to hundreds of confidential draft audit reports revealed that Delve generates auditor conclusions before any auditor reviews evidence, uses the same template across 99.8% of reports, and relies on Indian certification mills operating through empty US shells instead of the “US-based CPA firms” they advertise. Here’s the breakdown:
> 493 out of 494 leaked SOC 2 reports allegedly contain identical boilerplate text, including the same grammatical errors and nonsensical sentences, with only a company name, logo, org chart, and signature swapped in
> Auditor conclusions and test procedures are reportedly pre-written in draft reports before clients even provide their company description, which would violate AICPA independence rules requiring auditors to independently design tests and form conclusions
> All 259 Type II reports claim zero security incidents, zero personnel changes, zero customer terminations, and zero cyber incidents during the observation period, with identical “unable to test” conclusions across every client
https://x.com/ohryansbelt/status/2034752685631574022
Them, and everyone else in the IT compliance field.
First and second issues are not issues. All of those reports are total boilerplate, nobody in their right mind would write a new Shakespeare sonnet every time they have to do a report. As far as the conclusions looking positive before data is done, that also is part of boilerplate templates, since most people pass. The last point is concerning.
Mostly agree, except SOC reports have detailed descriptions of the processes used at the company, as well as detailed descriptions of the tests performed and the results, and what conditions, if any, mitigated any failure in control.
So even legit, clean reports for 2 different but very similar entities would have a lot of differences in the report. Less so in the auditor opinion itself where the industry has specific language they want to see in it.

f Money is Infinite, Why Do We Still Have Poverty? | Prof. Jiang Xueqin
If money is infinite, why does poverty still exist.
https://x.com/TmarketL/status/2033999934186217856
So smart and educated that he is functionally stupid.
Same as the people writing about lettuce inflation.
That’s not how inflation works.
Poverty is not a lack of money but a lack of the resources the money is supposed to represent. As a representation of finitie resources, the value of money cannot simply be printed. As supply of money approaches infinity, value of money approaches zero.
Maybe Chinese doesn’t make the same distinction between “money” and “wealth” that English does
Infinite money create infinite everything else I guess.

California’s Rush to Strip Cesar Chavez’s Name From Roads and Schools
https://www.wsj.com/us-news/the-rush-to-strip-cesar-chavezs-name-from-roads-and-schools-123a70c2?st=F7mQcL&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
This is one of those things that sane, normal people, will always lose in the cultural war.
Im still wondering why this all has suddenly came about.
Someone linked yesterday to a piece arguing that the farms wanted to import cheap illegal immigrants and that Chavez and the UFW opposed this.
“He also, according to a new report from the New York Times, sexually harassed and assaulted women in his movement, and sexually abused and raped the daughters of some UFW organizers when they were girls.
The Times report provides extensive corroboration of allegations by two women, Ana Murguia and Debra Rojas, both now 66, that they were repeatedly molested by Chavez more than 50 years ago, beginning when they were 12 and 13 years old. The report also contains newly public allegations by Dolores Huerta, the renowned trade union activist and co-founder of UFW, that Chavez once pressured her to have sex with him on a work trip and then later raped her in a parked car – encounters that Huerta says led to pregnancies, which she strove to conceal before giving the resulting daughters away to be raised by others.”
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/mar/20/cesar-chavez-legacy-rape-allegations
Is it really that easy to get the left to throw down their icons? Start typing up those stories!
Because his 99th and 100th birthdays are coming up, which would entail much media attention to what a great figure he was, and oh yeah, he HATED illegal immigration.
Why Cesar Chavez Suddenly Became Politically Inconvenient to the Left
You would think so, considering how most of them were just awful people.
The claims seem pretty iffy as well:

From WTF’s link –
I dunno about “disheartening” but such a development would certainly be titanic.
The man died in 93. What is the point in bringing this up now? Who’s making bank on this?

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/mamdani-furious-judge-orders-deportation-nyc-city-council/
Good – all the usual suspects rushing to defend that person can make asses of themselves defending the indefensible. The more repulsive they reveal themselves to be, the better in the long run, at least if it leads to people maybe putting more effort into picking less horrible candidates.
Ms. James – I know you have trouble understanding legal concepts, but “Overstaying a Visa” is not “Following the Law”. Had he followed the law, he would have left before his Visa expired.

He seems nice.
“arrested dozens of times for assault”
Ever prosecuted? Jailed or hospitalized? One wonders how that person is free to roam the city terrorizing everyone around him.
Terrorizing? He’s giving them the deep enrichment of the full urban experience!
I looked it up. They sell shoes for ducks.
“He died Thursday morning in Hawaii, according to the family, who said, “It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday [Thursday] morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace”

Looks like it’s confirmed. RIP.

Damn. RIP Chuck.
High Point University in NC, which beat Wisconsin in basketball today, conducts campus tours on golf carts, offers wealthy students private housing for $40,000 per year and built an “airplane-cabin interior” so that students could rehearse sitting next to an executive on a plane.

Co-eds are also provided blue dresses and kneepads in preparation for White House internships.
And complimentary crappy handguns?
Hi-Points?
Have they been advertising for years? About six years ago, the granddaughter said she was considering High Point Univ. None of us every heard of it. Finally chose tPSU, but that’s another whole can of worms.
Do they all get a ghetto pistol too?
Today, tears will weep Chuck Norrises.
RIP
Had some ass to kick in the afterlife i s’pose
Thank you, Chuck Norris
Finally, the rematch with Bruce Lee!
200 billion here, 200 billion there… crumbs.
Can i ha… Eah nevermind
Tell you what, I’ll get working on that for you and you get me Alexandra Căpitănescu’s phone number. Deal?
Minnesota can find that money in Somali couch cushions.
“ Trump Says He’s ‘Not Putting Troops Anywhere’ Amid Iran War”
Bullshit, there’ll be boots on the ground inside of two weeks (however long it tales to get the Marine ships over there). I certainly don’t expect truth in war but Trump’s a fucking liar regardless.
Yeah, God forbid we misdirect the enemy, liar bad!
“On to Richmond!” Thanks, Yanks, for letting us know your target.
We’ll see how that plays out. Honestly, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to offer for sale to about half the people here.
Yeah, okay, because anyone who questions you must of course be stupid.
You sound like a leftist.
Don’t stop believing my man.
4chan lawyer’s response to British

Send the Brit’s the legal bill too.
Chuck Norris has not passed into the afterlife. This is now the beforelife.
I am very sad about that. May he rest in peace, and his opponents rest in pieces.

Here in the smouldering wreckage of a once great nation
Three major reports out this month say President Trump has done serious damage to American democracy at remarkable speed since his return to the White House.
——-
Lindberg said V-Dem downgraded America’s rating based on the Trump administration concentrating executive power, overstepping laws, circumventing the Republican-led Congress as well as attacks on the news media and freedom of speech. Lindberg, a political scientist, is struck by the speed with which Trump has acted.
“Under the Trump administration, democracy has been rolled back as much during just one year as it took Modi in India and Erdogan in Turkey 10 years to accomplish, and Orban in Hungary four years,” said Lindberg, referring to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
All three of those leaders came to power through democratic elections, but scholars say they have since undermined checks and balances on executive power to try to ensure they remain in office.
Trump has had nothing but clear sailing. Not a check or balance to be seen.
Please, show us something Trump has done that every Dem president hasn’t also done.
Oh, NPR, it figures.
“There’s just no question that what we’re seeing is the authoritarian playbook,” said Nyhan, “but there’s no guarantee that Trump will be able to operate this way after the midterms, let alone a successor after 2028.”
He’ll be too busy defending himself from impeachment to build his death camps.
Sounds right, Brooksie. We’ll get a respite from one kind of BS to another.
Only the color will change.
Finally the Democrats will be able to get down to business with the real work that needs to be done in the final two years of Donald’s reign of terror.
Most credible source
The US is no longer a democracy. One of the most credible global sources on the health of democratic nations now says this outright. The Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Institute at Gothenburg University reaches the alarming conclusion in its annual report, that the US is hurtling towards autocracy at a faster rate than Hungary and Turkey.
“Our data on the USA goes back to 1789. What we’re seeing now is the most severe magnitude of democratic backsliding ever in the country,” says Staffan Lindberg, founder of the institute.
Since 2012, Lindberg has led his small group of researchers in Sweden to become the world’s leading source for analysis of the health of global democracy. In their latest report, published on Tuesday, they conclude that the US, for the first time in more than half a century, has lost its long-term status as a liberal democracy. The country is now going through a rapid process of what the report’s authors call “autocratisation”.
Trump may be a jerk, but he’s no Woodrow Wilson.
But other than that the US isn’t a democracy!
LOL another whopper. Unless by “free and open” they mean open to anyone in the world with a pulse or a postage stamp.
Thanks, The Guardian. I needed that belly laugh.
US democracy is now back at the worst recorded level since 1965, when US civil rights laws first introduced de facto universal suffrage. All progress made since then has been erased, according to the report.
Worldwide, democracy has receded to its lowest levels since the mid-70s. “The world has never before seen as many countries autocratising at the same time,” Lindberg says.
A record 41% (3.4 billion) of the world’s population currently resides in countries where democracy is deteriorating, the report claims, adding that Washington is leading this global turn away from democracy.
We’re drowning in extreme right wing populism!
Civil rights laws do not equate to democracy. They equate to progressivism.
Look, “democracy” is whatever some smarmy, leftist Norwegian dude says it is.
How hard is that to understand?
Very true.
Meanwhile, the supreme court has also mostly abdicated power, and even when it does strike down Trump’s executive orders, he circumvents it, Lindberg tells me. He points out that there are more than 600 ongoing judicial procedures against the Trump administration in the courts.
The Supreme court has abdicated its sacred responsibility to rule against President Cartoon Villain in every instance!
The courts are clogged with suits contesting executive action, which proves Trump is running roughshod over law and precedent.
Now do the states going around the 2A.
Some day there will be an immense memorial to the millions of Trump’s victims. Those innumerable noble patriots snuffed out for daring to whisper the faintest criticism of his despotic tyranny.
I put the Declaration of Independence through the LinkedIn slop generator. Incredible.

Users of Corpspeech deserve pain. Excrutiating, soul-cleansing pain.
They need to be handed shovels and sent to be oilers on rock crushers for a month.
The core group of a dozen researchers in Gothenburg works with 4,200 researchers in 180 countries, using what they claim to be the largest global dataset on democracy, with more than 32m data points for 202 countries and territories, spanning from 1789 to 2025. “We have universal standards, but also people on the ground to tell us what is actually going on. The reports are 100% scientific, research-driven, and our data is free from bias and state influence, from general punditry and political considerations.”
Indubitably.
SCIENCE!!!!!
Thank you, Thomas Dolby.
It really is true, you can always find an “expert” to agree with anything.
