    “Trump claims Iran has ‘agreed to give us back the nuclear dust,’ not pursue nuclear weapon”

    But will they?

    • R.J.

      I do wonder if the Iran public face is now AI. Almost seems credible considering the brash talk vs. private negotiations.
      Honestly if I were Trump I wouldn’t stop until all the mullahs were gone. History shows you should have zero trust of those assholes.

      • UnCivilServant

        It turns out there is no Iran, the whole country was just an AI creation.

    • Drake

      We’ve reached the sad point where Trump says crazy shot daily and nobody believes it unless the Iranians confirm it.

    “Anonymous Rumors Claim Pentagon Planning Cuba Invasion”

    Because there isn’t anything else to do?

    • Rat on a train

      Is the planning more like War Plan Tan or Bay of Pigs?

      • UnCivilServant

        The plan is to hire armies of undead conquistadores to start a zombie apocalypse, then when the island is depopulated, let the zombies rot to refertilize the soil before colonization with transplanted Boers.

        That’s not the worst plan. Though how much experience do the Boers have with tobacco and cigar making?

      • bacon-magic

        Dutch Masters is a big cigar company and I bet they have a Boer or two.

        As long as they can make Montecristos, I’ll be fine with it.

      • Pope Jimbo

        The conquistadores would probably look around and wonder why things had regressed so badly.

    • rhywun

      Slip one more war in before the Dems take the House and Senate in a few months.

      • Threedoor

        And they can start several more.

    Anonymous Rumors Claim Pentagon Planning Cuba Invasion

    It is literally their job to come up with plans for various potential conflicts. We never got to use War Plan Red, but we had it in case war with Canukistan became inevitable.

    • (((Jarflax

      Ok, it is definitely not America First, and it would be expensive, but if we are going to use military force to get rid of socialist regimes, we should put the UK and EU on the list, they still have a lot of art and other cool stuff we could take to offset the cost of liberating them from the globalists, and if we kill enough socialists and kick out the Islamics in the process we can probably rehabilitate them into worthwhile allies and trading partners.

      • Threedoor

        And we have FOBs in those countries already!

    “Rep. Salazar has been pushing the “Dignity Act,” which would grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.”

      I have a counter proposal, we deport them all, but hand out little packets of Biscoff on the flight back home, or to El Salvador.

    • The Other Kevin

      “Dignity Act”? In that case I change my mind. What kind of monster would be against DIGNITY?

      • UnCivilServant

        Dignity is intrinsic and cannot be granted nor taken away, only earned through one’s own actions. Thus the law is not needed and can be discarded.

    • rhywun

      It’s actually “Dignidad Act” because the English name isn’t pandering enough.

      • UnCivilServant

        Then the sponsors should be stripped of their citizenship, have their assets confiscated, and be deported to the Congo to take up artisinal cobalt mining.

    Secretary Sean Duffy said the state failed to revoke “illegally issued nondomiciled commercial learner’s permits and commercial driver’s licenses.” An audit of 200 sampled records found 107 – 53.5% – were issued in violation of federal law.

    That’s okay. New York will make up the shortfall by “taxing the rich.”

    It’s not like actual Americans were driving trucks in New York anyway.

    • Threedoor

      I am opposed to the existence of the Federal DOT, the Federal fuel tax, and the CDL.

        At least one Italian and one Mick, so no more than 4 white guys…

      • (((Jarflax

        It might lead some white child to question the narrative that white people are evil, and that leads to one of those white supremacists types who isn’t even ashamed of Western civilization. That’s like the worst thing ever!

      Guess why?

    • rhywun

      That link is making my browser throw up.

      The “reason” is because he is a Democrat and he needs to be heard saying things that are currently fashionable with Democrats. Such as “white people are bad”.

        They do the same thing with students.

      • Ed Wuncler

        It such bullshit because it does nothing to alleviate the issues in the black community and probably makes them much worse. By white people saying how terrible they are, it takes the accountability and initiative away from black folks to make their communities better. All they have to say is, white people are terrible and therefore responsible for the horribleness in the black community.

      • The Last American Hero

        It’s made me more racist. I used to trust that a doctor had the skills and training to be a doctor. Not if they got their degree less than 16 years ago. If they got their degree prior to 2010, I don’t care what their race or gender is. If they got their degree after, I can’t trust that they earned it.

      • rhywun

        Mamdani running every thought and decision through the race-privilege machine is a recipe for tearing the city apart but that’s OK because it is straight up Marxist “burn it all down” shit.

      • Threedoor

        LAH, 2010 is the big breaking point on children’s books too. You have to pre read them as there is so much subversive stuff in them after that.

      • Pope Jimbo

        I’ve been watching Shrinking on AppleTv and it could have been really good except that they keep throwing in various wipipo are bad lines in there. They have a character called “Old Racist White Lady”.

        The woke shit isn’t overwhelming, but it could have been so much better. I also wonder why gay guys haven’t raised a stink about the main gay character being such a 2D flaming homo.

    “A parenting influencer admitted to accidentally running over her young son with her car in a lengthy social media post — calling the incident a “true nightmare” for parents.

    Kelly Hopton-Jones, a 36-year-old mother of two, described in an Instagram post that she was leaving to drive her daughter Lily, 4, on Wednesday to pick up donuts before her dance performance, while her husband and 23-month-old son Henry stayed home.

    Hopton-Jones — who shares parenting advice to over 63,000 followers under the Instagram handle “Hillside Farmhouse” — said that as she was leaving, Henry darted out of the garage and “in a matter of seconds” was run over by her car.”

        At least for today I’ve got it sorted and have a purely technical problem to look at.

        We have a report which finds what roles need additional schedule permissions granted based on what departments the roles are associated with that show up in the schedules.

        What we now need is a report that finds what schedules are granted to roles that don’t have a department showing up in those schedules so that they can be removed.

        Of course the database schema is the results of decades of iterative feature creep…

    “An article written by Ruby Rose more than a decade ago has shed new light on the actress’s claims Katy Perry sexually assaulted her at a nightclub in 2010.

    The essay, published by the Herald Sun in 2011, describes how an intoxicated Rose, 40, ‘threw up’ on Perry, 41, during a wild night out at Melbourne’s Grand Hyatt.

    The pair began their night by crashing a high school formal at the hotel, before heading to Spice Market, a nightclub also located within the complex.

    ‘I spectacularly lost dignity (and keys) one night not too long ago. Remember when Katy Perry and I crashed the year 12 formal? I don’t. I had been off the grog for 30 days – my first attempt at sobriety – and I was out partying with Katy,’ Rose wrote.

    ‘What I do remember thinking was: “I’ll have a drink tonight, I deserve one. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen?” Well, not stopping at one drink, or ten, and then vomiting on Katy’s foot was the answer.’

    Rose went on to insist that ‘nothing horrific happened’ during the night, and described it as ‘one of the best decisions of my life’.”

      Shorter explanation – Ruby Rose’s “career” is in the toilet because she’s a giant pain in the ass to work with so she latched onto this to get publicity and victimhood points. She should have just targeted some random man she was alone in a room with and made some shit up honestly. More effective.

      • EvilSheldon

        “Some random man she was alone with,” probably doesn’t have a budget line item for, ‘Payments for fucking off and going away…’ Katy Perry does.

    I really expected to be banned from most of the places where I’ve been shit posting. In the past, I’ve always found the left, especially the hard left, to have a quick trigger finger on stuff like that. I can’t count how many times some little proggie fuck banned me from here or there.

    Is it possible there’s been an actual cultural shift where the left has been forced to confront the reality that a whole lot of people don’t just accept their bullshit and at least some of them have to actually engage in discussion to prove their points? Or am I just crazy?

    Alls I know is I’ve been a member of antifa for a week now defending capitalism and attacking tankies left and right with no consequences. Not even a deleted post or a warning. Even allowed on the fembot pages.

    • R.J.

      Amazing. And I got banned from X after a week of looking at cat memes and posting nothing.

      • Threedoor

        I got banned from X with no reason given.

        My guess is the group of homosexuals that were accusing me of being a pedofile the few days earlier was the cause of that.

    • PutridMeat

      Even allowed on the fembot pages.

      Are you just a fembot Firsting in a manbot’s manputer’s world?

      I do have a follow-up and correction on one note if anyone saw it/remembers it. I said one of the wokerati asked me why I was talking about porn in a topic on the CNN sleeping porn story.

      That was actually my bad and it did look pretty weird. I was being bombarded with so many passive aggressive laugh emojis and responses accusing me of being a sexual deviant (there is nothing deviant about wanting to always be First) who must be into that sort of thing that I lost track of where I was posting.

      I put it in a comment section on a women suing in Cali over a program that only gives resources to black mothers. So I was posting about porn in a topic on babies.

      My bad.

        You’re here. You are a deviant.

        Brochettaward was a deviant long before he was here.

        Not true Ted; he, like all of us only exist here, and sprang into existence when UCS first logged into this site in his solipsistic universe. We exist only as personifications of various concerns the sole consciousness conjures up as it floats in the emptiness.

      Is it possible there’s been an actual cultural shift where the left has been forced to confront the reality…

      …about anything?

      Hell, no.

      Obviously you’re positng on fed honeypot pages.

    • Threedoor

      I was banned from two FB car groups over saying some guys wheels looked like he was advertising for his Grinder profile and a Full Sized Jeep Pickup group that someone had posted a picture of a J Truckwith a group of trannies in the back of it, one of the Jeeps had a grill they call a Pignose, I said “putting lipstick on a pig” kicked out of the group.

      They pander to one group only.

    Named after White House loyalist and Deputy Assistant to the President Lynne Patton, it is the unofficial nectar of the conservative ruling class: two parts premium vodka cut with exactly 10ml of pear liquor.”

      When did “part” go to mean 0.5oz rather than being a relative term?

      Nothing will come out the other end, then they will ask for more money.

      • rhywun

        IOW more anti-white garbage. That’s really all that this stuff boils down to.

        But yeah, you can tell the clock is running out on these fantasies because the demands are getting more shrill and batshit insane.

      • trshmnstr

        Speaking of anti-white garbage, I was reviewing an agreement between a medical device manufacturer and a hospital in New Jersey. The hospital inserted a bunch of language required by the state, like 10 pages of language. The first 8 pages were all anti-discrimination and DEI. The rest was anti-bribery stuff.

      • Sensei

        The first 8 pages were all anti-discrimination and DEI. The rest was anti-bribery stuff.

        It’s NJ – Those two items are how the state is run.

      • WTF

        The first 8 pages were all anti-discrimination and DEI.

        I always love that – 4 pages saying you can’t discriminate, and 4 pages telling you that you must discriminate.

      • EvilSheldon

        The first 8 pages were all anti-discrimination and DEI. The rest was anti-bribery stuff.

        Really tells you where their priorities are, huh?

      Trees do cool down urban areas. They also require water, which LA lacks. I bet within 10 years most of those trees will be dead.

      • Threedoor

        And you have to clean up after them.

      • dbleagle

        No you don’t. You just have to fine the property owners near the city owned tree because they didn’t clear up the leaves and whatnot.

        Bonus money for refusing to trim the city owned trees and issuing massive fines to the surrounding property owners who do trim the tree.

      I don’t get why the data centers are the new cause célèbre for the greenies, but solar farms get a pass.

      I’d think that covering large amounts of land with solar panels would cause a much larger disruption to the local ecology than a data center.

        Obviously keeping a deranged Kanye on a spud would also work, but it wouldn’t be as efficient.

    Great. Not only does Minnesoda have all the new vibrant Somalis living here, it also appears we are the home to all the pro-regime Iranians.

    The installation, “This is Not an Eggplant,” is by Iranian artist Katayoun Amjadi. And the eggplants – a staple of Persian cuisine and also a phallic symbol in emoji-speak – have taken on new resonance amid the United States’ war in Iran.
     
    Amjadi, artist in residence for City Art St. Paul, is part of Minnesota’s small community of Iranian artists navigating their creative pursuits while the U.S. engages in war against Iran. I spoke with several of them, including textile and installation artist Ziba Rajabi and singer Aida Shahghasemi.
     
    Last month, I met Amjadi and Rajabi for tea in Northeast, where they have studios in the same building. Rajabi, too, remembers the “time of hope” beginning in 2009 when the U.S. and other world powers began negotiating with Iran.
     
    “They were lifting the sanctions one by one,” said Rajabi, who also teaches at St. Olaf. “Everything was getting so much better.”

    • Threedoor

      100% chance that ‘artist’ is government subsidized.

      • Pope Jimbo

        I might quibble with the word “subsidized”. To me, subsidized means that the govt is giving you additional money to what you were actually earning.

        My pushback is that I don’t think she made a nickel on her own, so she isn’t being subsidized.

      • Muzzled Woodchipper

        Yep. She’s not being subsidized; she’s being supported by the government.

    • B.P.

      That’s some really terrible art.

      “In response to political tensions, Amjadi, who teaches art at St. Olaf College and the University of Minnesota, has been leading art workshops for refugees and displaced people.”

      If I had recently walked through the Darien Gap and arrived in Minnesota, the one thing that would really advance the healing process for me would be to hang out in an art studio staring in awe at four colostomy bags suspended by red ribbons on a blue background.
