I’m always more exhausted getting back from spring break than when I leave for it. Jeez, this is gonna be a long week. I’ll probably need a vacation after it. Anyway, the Sweet 16 is set, and Florida and Virginia will not be participating. Those were the biggest upsets. Man City won the League Cup, denying Arsenal the chance for a treble. And Spuds slipped a notch closer to the drop after a humiliating loss to relegation-battler Nottingham Forest. And I think that’s pretty much it for sports.
I’m curious what his reasoning for the seizure was. Although he bigger story here is the governor’s race. And none of the Dems in it can take the ego hit and drop out, which is why there are two republicans leading the jungle primary, which would be an absolutely hilarious result.
This comes as no surprise. And that’s the problem.
Yeah, no shit. But I want it to happen anyway. Because the people who voted for him deserve it. And those who didn’t need another nudge out the door.
Ending this would be nice. No matter how pleasing it is to see more and more of the regime psychopaths meed their demise.
What a colossal fuckup. And a sad result.
Dems bare their souls. And by that, I mean they blame their parents and everybody else in their early lives for their current behavior.
Ok. Anyway… I simply do not care. Their country, their laws. If you’re gonna try and work there, you might want to know them.
I didn’t know “nuclear reactor” was a unit of measure. Either way, that’s a hell of a power plant they need. Maybe AI isn’t worth it. Let me ask Grok if that’s the case.
And staying, kind of, on that subject. This is pretty true for a very large number of people.
Let’s see how this goes. I’ll be flying in a few weeks, so I hope it goes well. Also, privatize it.
This was the end. At least they went out well. And here’s the beginning. It was a good run. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Monday, dear friends.
“Leading California Democrats are worried that their party has so many candidates, they risk splitting the vote and sending Bianco and Steve Hilton, another top Republican, onto the general election. That would be a stunning outcome in the heavily Democratic state.”
That’s a weird system.
It’s a bad system.
Hasnt Louisiana been using it forever?
I mean, still a bad system, but not uniquely bad anyway.
Like term limits, it is a failed experiment. Which would be okay if everyone accepted that and shut it down. More often if it pits two Democrats against each other in the general election – which is considered “success”.
Term limits are a failed experiment?
Some argue term limits give too much power to unelected careerists who become the advisors to the elected officials.
That just means term limits need to be expanded to the bureaucracy.
Age limits are better. I believe 60 is the age, if a politician can’t steal enough by that time they are too damned dumb to be representing their constituents.
Turn 60, out of here, regardless of your term.
They were in Michigan. It resulted in the same people playing musical chairs. So that fossil of a state senator goes to congress, his wife runs for his seat, the head of the state house becomes county commissioner, that other guy becomes treasury secretary, and pretty much no new blood just business as usual.
This is why you have a limit of total time on government payroll regardless of role.
failed experiment?
How’s that been working in Sacramento? If that isn’t failure I’d hate to see what is.
One party state assumes it can never lose power through election, because it has created the perfect cheat….

“This comes as no surprise. And that’s the problem.”
Dave Smith, Nick Fuentes, etc. blame Israel. Because there was no anti-semitism in Europe before the war with Hamas.
If I was a Jew in Europe I’d be looking for other accommodations toot sweet.
I think that is the most succinct way to explain Zionism.
At this point the jews in the US might need to reconsider as well…
I don’t get people who at fused with their phones. Maybe it’s because I’m a luddite
One of the many things that makes me proud of Tres Ver 2.0 is that unlike others in his cohort, he isnt tethered to his phone.
I suspect the phone mania is why so many people suffer from mental disorders… That thing is addictive. And people just have not realized their various ticks and such come from all the shit they view all day.
You will never be an influencer with that attitude.
Good.
Bianco said Friday that the count had started and stopped, but would now resume under the supervision of a special master appointed by a judge.
Yet Bonta claims the sheriffs department isn’t qualified to do the recount.
The letter after his name is what disqualifies him. If he were a reliable Democrat finding a way to add more Dem votes to a close election, Bonta would have no problem with it.
I just want to see Bonta bitch about the judge.

Trust us, everything is working as planned, with full accountability.”
When you do not have the system of control and the public is unreliable, you need a window to “fix” results so the unwashed masses don’t get uppity and foist someone like Trump on your well thought out plans to murder most of them and make the survivors serfs in a new marxist hereditary aristocratic system…
From the phone article: It erodes your independent judgment. You no longer know what you think about the news until you’ve checked what your feed thinks. You absorb a position and adopt it.
Made me think of this theory.
Sure, as long as everyone agrees with me.
You no longer know what you think about the news
And here i thought it was because of all the brazen lying.
That actually helps me know what I think of the news. What I think of the news is unprintable though.
I’m seeing that the new thing is to rename the Cesar Chavez Boulevards to Chuck Norris Boulevard.
I support this change.
All I can think of is the joke (predating smart phones).
What kind of neighborhoods do these roads run through?
I think that was a Chris Rock bit.
And he isnt wrong.
I was on MLK in Denver yesterday. I thought about Chris Rock and how he was wrong, at least for the couple of blocks I saw.
There is a half-hearted attempt to rename the main street in my town after him. It does pass through the one or two rough blocks here – where all the “services” and rehab centers are. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Don’t get caught at the intersection of MLK and Malcom X.
What I don’t support is cooking up ancient sex allegations because of his stance on immigration.
Yeah, I had to look up his Wiki to figure out where this was coming from. They had one sentence stating he was against illegal immigration and I knew that was what was behind it.
It’s a nice thought but no jurisdiction that celebrates farmworker labor unions is gonna name anything after a Republican.
Naming streets after Chuck Norris would really divide any city. Nobody would dare cross Chuck Norris.
*golf clap*

Some potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidates are introducing themselves to voters in a striking way: by documenting their childhood resentments, family chaos and fights with their parents.
They’re just finding a novel way to pander to the party base.

The even more funny part is people will buy the bullshit and fawn over such brave men

“The convoy includes Mayor Zohran Mamdani ally and influential streamer Hasan Piker – who recently went on a Beijing-sponsored propaganda trip – to Havana, from where he broadcast to his 1.6 million Instagram followers Saturday with a somehow spotless internet connection and promised to film “content.”
Isra Hirsi, the 23-year-old unemployed activist daughter of embattled “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn), is also taking part in the voyage — as is a delegation of Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America comrades.
The convoy also includes groups identified by the US State Department as vectors of Chinese influence – like Neville Roy Singham’s People’s Forum and his wife’s, Jodie Evans’ Code Pink. Evans was all smiles as she posed for a picture with Piker Saturday, wearing a pink keffiyeh.”

Little symbols that someone approved or disapproved of something you said pop up and notify you in real time. This makes happy juice or worry juice squirt into your brain or blood.
I have most notifications turned off on my phone.
I handle this by only looking at social media on my desktop.
I’m agnostic on the phone stuff.
I do see a lot of yutes that are way to connected to them. (Luckily the Altar Kids aren’t that bad). It would be nice to see them get outside more.
On the other hand, they can be useful tools that can make your life better. I remember having a conversation with my dad about this when smart phones were just coming out. He was grumbling about it. This argument was while we were out west hunting. I pointed out to him that the reason I could spend as much time on this trip with him (he was retired) was because my phone untethered me from my desk. At the time, I was working for a startup and there really wasn’t much backup. With a smart phone I could a) get email if there was a big emergency and b) connect my PC in that emergency and hopefully fix things.
Like any tool, it is all in how you use it.
The phones are fine. Social media is the poison. Blaming the phone is like an alcoholic blaming the glass.

“New York’s cosmetology and hair-styling schools must soon start teaching how to deal with kinky and curly hair if they want to be able to license students.
New rules from the New York Department of State require the updated coursework — designed to curb racial discrimination — to be in place by September…
The state rules were published earlier this month — about a week after a black woman and her daughter filed a federal discrimination suit against an Ulta Beauty salon on the Upper East Side, claiming stylists there told them they don’t cut “your kind of hair.””
The state has been working on updating its regulations for hair salons for nearly a decade, after the legislature’s 2017 approval of a law that created an “Appearance Enhancement Advisory Committee.”
The panel was tasked with developing recommendations regarding cultural and ethnic awareness for various hair types, including curl patterns, strand thickness and volume.”

The cynical part of me is thinking the next line after “your kind of hair.” is “You’re wearing a weave.”
Very much doubt.
But a handy excuse for more re-education camps.

There is freedom of association in black-only barbershops. Which somehow isn’t racial discrimination.

Evil Sheldon, Glibs Editorial Staff and IT Department:
I did not intentionally steal ES’s article image for my featured Illo. I am complete willing to belive that I fucked up and accidentally chose it, except…
The second-to-last time I edited the article I attached https://www.glibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/portent.jpg and verified it was in the right-side spot for featured illustration, as I have had a couple of formatting issues break my intended FI before.
On the last time I edited the article, that spot was instead the words (paraphrased from memory) “wordpress is having difficulty loading this image.” I ignored it as sometimes wordpress is like that, but usually if I can see the image once, it’ll publish.
So Lily ate your homework.
She would. She still likes to chew pretty much anything, including paper. When I was putting together a flatpack shelf over the weekend she attempted to steal a little gadget that came with it to start the nails.
I also think she’s sick. She’s been very lackadasical and not interested in immediately devouring any food-like substance.
Oh no! 😧 Get well soon Lily!
I can certainly buy that WordPress fucked up, but I think I’d prefer to believe that you bogarted my spreadsheet screencap for mysterious purposes…

Cause as things are unfolding and Xi is sending all his scientists behind all their top tech military project breakthroughs of his tenure – stealth, stealth detecting radar/tech, hypersonic tech, satellite tech, missile tech, body armor, and much more – to camp for failure of any of that new hardware to perform, it is obvious that it isn’t some new wonder weapon smuggled to Iran.
So unless they are firing off a ballistic missile loaded with a ton of that 60% enriched uranium as a dirty bomb, they have nothing…
And firing off that dirty bomb would only serve to vindicate Trump’s claim these goat humping fucks must never be trusted with anything short of a BB gun.

Regarding the vote box, seizure:
“ In the special election, voters approved a measure to redraw congressional district lines to favor Democrats in the upcoming midterm election. The measure passed in the county by a margin of more than 80,000 votes.”
What the article failed to mention is there were 50,000 more votes than there were registered voters. I think there are other articles which mentioned that. AP news definitely would not, because it’s all communist.

Journalism should not use AI generated images. There is no excuse for that.
At least this anarchist group wasn’t rigidly organized and formal.
You’d be surprised at how many of those there are.
I’m reading Richard Parry’s The Bonnot Gang right now, and the first part of it goes into an overview of the late-1800’s anarchist movement that gave rise to Jules Bonnot (who basically invented the modern bank robbery). The amount of status-seeking among the ‘anarchist’ gangs makes the 2020s New Right look like a rigidly organized front.
Oh yeah, in the lack of a formal hierarchy, status games seem to run rampant.
Speaking of, I need to check on my ARM slot…

Should a neo-Nazi be allowed to ‘identify’ as Anne Frank?

Liebich’s crimes were grim enough, but it was his Princess Diaries-inspired transformation that brought him to international attention. In 2024, he showed up in court in lipstick, a floppy beach hat and a leopard-print blouse. He asked to be referred to not as Sven, but ‘Marla-Svenja’. He also declared himself to be female. Since Germany explicitly allows anyone to identify how they please under the 2024 Self-Determination Act, there was little that could be done to stop him. And so, Liebich’s name and legal sex were duly changed and he was ordered to report to Chemnitz women’s prison in August the following year.
It took many months for the penny to drop that maybe, just maybe, Liebich had been playing the system. Curiously, it wasn’t the fact that ‘Marla’ still had a whopping great moustache on ‘her’ face, nor his history of publicly harassing gay and trans individuals that seemed to wake up the authorities. No, the straw that broke the camel’s back was his request in November last year to change not only his gender again – this time from female to ‘diverse’ – but also his name… to ‘Anne Frank’.
So is this what the Brits call “taking the piss”?

Someone is selling a manor estate in Burgundy with a private river, waterfalls and a natural swimming pond. 2 hours from Paris.
Two buildings arranged around a courtyard, 1,700m² (18,298 sq ft) in total, 12 bedrooms, an artist’s studio, stables and 7 hectares (17 acres) of land.
Inside there’s a music room with a piano, a library in the tower, a writing room, and a dining room built around a fireplace large enough to roast a whole animal. Herons and wild ducks live on the property year round. The river has a depth of 3 metres and you can swim in it all summer.

Fortunately, it’s the nearby Vézelay that’s the UNESCO site, not that property.

“I think I’ve had at least seven books that have been banned in the United States,” says Ibram X Kendi, in a tone that carries no bitterness but stops just short of pride. It’s proof, he says, that his works on racism, which extend from deep, scholarly histories to a biography of Malcolm X for children, are getting through to the right people – and annoying the right people. According to the writers’ advocacy group PEN America, his books have been banned at least 50 times by multiple US school districts during the tumultuous “anti-woke” backlash of the past five years.”

That’s not what “banned” means.
The left lies and manipulates language. Keeping content that exists only to sexualize and titillate out of middle and elementary schools is not banning. I am waiting for democrats to demand “Swank” and “Big Uns” be brought back and put on racks in schools. Cause grooming..
Sir, your only product is racism, and race grifting.
Not having your grifting lies in schools is not being banned. And claiming to be banned does not make me want to give you money, it makes me debate my princples about letting you speak.
“Deep scholarly Histories” in this usage means plucked from his gaping ass.
LOL bullshit lies as usual from our commie friends at The Guardian.
Is there anyone the left fawns over more than him?
““As a scholar of the history of racist ideas, I’m constantly trying to make sure I’m aware of what I call in my work the progression of racism: the ways in which racism is changing and evolving and taking on new forms,” he says.”
Some scholar, when pressed, he can’t even define racism.
“I am a charlatan and my goal is to advance racism.”
Translated from academic bafflegab to plain English.
I thought racism was anything a white devil said, thought, or did?

Good.
Right wrong or indifferent, backing off in Iran now will mean that the IRGC that they can collapse international energy markets any time they want by threatening oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
The IRGC needs to be destroyed down to the last fighter and the smallest piece of material. If that takes a full-scale ground invasion, so be it. If it takes carpet-bombing every population center in Iran, sorry, but you decided to play the MAD card. The lesson to the rest of the world needs to be absolutely clear – if you even make a threat against global energy markets, you get obliterated as a functional polity.
^This.
I should mention, I was not in favor of the initial attack on Iran. But that die is cast.
Here’s the escalation ladder we’ll be climbing.
https://x.com/i/status/2035809696632975539
I was initially ambivalent. The government of Iran is vile beyond belief and has been a threat to the world since its inception, and I think the 2003 invasion of Iraq was a case of us being afraid to go after the real threat Iran, and instead coming up with a wishful thinking strategy to ‘isolate’ Iran, and bleed their proxy forces, so I did not oppose us finally grasping that nettle. But I was, and still am, afraid that we don’t have the resolve to uproot it once we feel the sting. The best way out is through.
We don’t have the resolve or anywhere near the conventional military power to overthrow their government.
Even assuming 1.) it’s true, and 2.) that Iran has the remaining capability to hit any of those targets, none of it is any more of a trump card than shutting down the Strait.
Also, is it generally good military practice to publicize your target deck before the strike?
The resolve, maybe. The conventional military power, we absolutely, unquestionably do.
We absolutely do not.
How would we even get a foothold there? A Marine amphibious operation with losses on the WWII scale? Then, if they get a foothold, they are swarmed with drones while the army lands and starts a 1000 mile march through the mountains to Tehran? With crap supply lines and a hostile population of 92 million people?
Maybe they’ll give up. If not, this is orders of magnitude worse than Iraq or Afghanistan.
You’re thinking three wars behind.

“Following an extensive study that involved gathering information from all internet users, influencers, and podcasters, it has been officially confirmed that, in his final moments, Charlie Kirk affirmed whatever you believe.
Though arguments vary regarding where Kirk stood on a variety of issues prior to his sudden and tragic death at the hands of an assassin last fall, all evidence points to the conclusion that whatever belief you currently hold, that’s what Charlie thought, too.”

This one’s a miss from the Bee.
Maybe you don’t get the joke?
I haven’t figured out what it is. So, clearly.
Not every attempt at humor is going to work, so they get a shrug and a pass.
Finally! A new law in Minnesoda will fix everything!
I’m sure that the threat of being a felon will totes prevent others from pretending to be a cop.
It would also be interesting to know how many other crimes were committed by people pretending to be cops. Is it really a problem? Or are pols just being extra careful to be sure their constituents can’t shoot them?
This guy didn’t do anything to deserve to be shot. His assailant should be locked up for the rest of his life. But…
Wouldn’t real friends tell a guy to retire and get well if he was still this disturbed by what happened to him? Can people challenge in court a law that was written by someone in the middle of a mental health crisis?
