“I feel like a train conductor.”
Huh. Another week with no theme, no particular drama, events or such. So, off to the plain ol’ links.
- tHE cHiLdReN arE oUr fUTuRE!
- What is with the Brits and Epstein?
- I almost shat myself at first – my oldest is in grad school there. But it was at 1:46AM and seems like just some nice Iowa boys were involved.
- NO LAUGHING at the mountain name. This is serious.
Music is on you. Comments are open and yours.
At what point do corruption and ineptitude become indistinguishable?
Knowing there’s a problem and looking the other way sounds like corruption to me.
Easily foreseen consequences are not unintended?
That person is nuts. It is absolutely corruption. And the Party is very, very good at that.
After reading John Derbyshire’s infamous “The Talk,” and having
wastedworked for over a decade in government, whenever I see a scandal, I just say “lets take a look at the governing body” (Flint, Michigan’s water crisis comes to mind).If a certain demographic is >50% of the overseeing agency, the project will be FUBAR.
Their tradition of sending the boy of the ruling class off to be forcibly sodomized?
Opposition leaders have called for the centre-left Labour leader to step down, with accusations ranging from incompetence to wilful misleading of parliamentarians and the public.
Funny how the guy who’s overseeing the invasion of Great Britain is described as “centre-Left,” but anyone who isn’t an avowed Maoist is always called “far-right.”
There’s your arc of history! Also known as Peyronie’s Disease.
I resemble this statement.

It’s insane to me how this is playing out. We’ve had our autism school scandal in Indiana, but almost all of it is happening in blue areas. They either pretend like it doesn’t exist, or like in California, actively go after the whistleblowers. “We’ll stop wasting taxpayer money” has always been low hanging fruit, an easy political win. Between NGO’s and all this fraud, is anyone donating to Dems besides Soros?
And yet people keep voting for them.
It’s baffling.
You’re saying that as an informed and open minded person. The Dems I know still think Renee Good was an innocent woman just dropping her kid off at school. They know nothing of all this fraud, and if they do hear anything, it’s that Trump and his corrupt cronies are going after legitimate organizations on an unfounded witch hunt.
There is a direct pipeline from the Democrat propaganda machine into their brains, and they are totally fine with that.
Yeah, the Dems have realized that they can just bald-faced lie about everything and their voters still don’t notice or care. There used to be a kernel of truth here or there but not anymore.
It’s the empathy.
Brand. Like how Reese’s and McDo suck now, but some old enough to notice the difference keep buying it.
Six degrees of Jeffrey Epstein.
Seriously. Do these tards really wanna unperson anyone that had a connection with him? Because that doesn’t leave a whole lot of elites left.
Because that doesn’t leave a whole lot of elites left.
I don’t see the problem.
OMG – the article on the UK’s Olly Robins is a hoot. This constitutes a “civil servant” in the UK.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olly_Robbins
In June 2019 it was reported that Robbins intended to resign when Theresa May left office. He was elected to the Heywood fellowship at the Blavatnik School of Government in September 2019, after which he joined Goldman Sachs as a managing director of the bank’s investment banking division; joining former European Commission president José Manuel Barroso, who was the non-executive chairman of Goldman Sachs International at the time.
I hope they at least let him keep his government pension!
OTH, he may some more time for his hobbies!
He is a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Leathersellers and a member of the National Liberal Club.
They don’t look corn-fed to me.
Maybe they eat Corn Pops?
Corn Pop was a bad dude! That aint no malarky, honkey!
Hey, 5% of the population in Iowa look like that. They could be local homeboys.
They could be from certain areas of Des Moines or Waterloo, for example. Also, a number of escapees from the Chicago area end up here in Iowa, sometimes bringing their associations with them.
escapees from the Chicago area end up here in Iowa
A growing problem the last two or three decades.
We visit Iowa City with some frequency – the general downtown, Ped Mall, Old Capitol Town Center, Library house herds of the usual suspects. Many high school age which I wouldn’t typically expect to be in the downtown/campus area. They have essentially driven away foot traffic from parts of the Old Capitol Town Center and the Library is another takeover zone.
Ah, so you oldest is not far away from me.
It’s a little funny to me how we have (for years) had a whole national park named Grand Teton right out there in front of everybody.
“We have clearance, Clarence.”
“Roger, Roger. What’s our vector, Victor?”
(Pound for pound, maybe the funniest movie of all time. (Certainly is, jokes per minute.) No joke, it’s the flick scientists show subjects to reliably elicit laughter from ’em. An odd but truthful entry in the Perfect Film category.)
I speak Jive.
That was a relevation.
Apparently that is an actual word, so spell checker didn’t help me.
One reason it keeps going is that younger people are legitimately shocked at what they got away with putting in a movie.
Clever bastards
I want to see the valley below the mountains.
Sounds like your son is in more danger in the Iowa cornfields than my daughter is at her school in South Central LA.
Pedestrian Mall in downtown Iowa City. Place is usually heavy foot traffic in nice weather.
We bought 2 imported cars recently with the tariff costs passed on in the price. Now the companies are getting rebates on the tariffs I paid?

I’m sure they’ll look you up right away and pass those savings on to you.
Thanks!
You’re not the only one who has noticed.
I ignored the letters from FecEx wanting tarrifs and an additional al $15 processing fee. I knew they had sued the feds.
They still delivered to me the other day so they haven’t cut me off.
For the childrunz
The parents claimed the school was “pushing beliefs concerning gender ideology behind the parents’ backs and encouraging their children to question their own identity.” As a result, B.F. began to raise questions about her gender identity and started seeing a therapist, Foote and Silvestri wrote in court papers.
The parents said they informed the school that they would be getting B.F. professional help. Silvestri instructed school officials not to have private discussions with her child so they could address mental health concerns “as a family and with the proper professionals,” according to filings.
Foote and Silvestri claimed that the Ludlow School Committee, the town’s school board, rejected their request and instead began socially transitioning B.F. without their knowledge. At school, teachers began referring to the student by a different name and pronouns, and the school counselor said B.F. could choose which bathroom to use at school.
But lawyers for the school said it took those steps after the student declared in an email to school officials, “I am genderqueer,” and requested teachers use a new name and “any pronouns (other than it/its).” The parents, meanwhile, said it was the school and staff that encouraged the changes.
What a fucked up story. Burn the schools down.
I suppose the real surprise is the state didn’t prosecute the parents for deprogramming.
be sure to stake down the school officials first.
And the teachers.
That link seems urlqueer.
Believe all genderqueer children.
JFC.
Link, maybe
Supreme Court declined to review that case.
I blame the keyboard.
“The measures the Parents cite … all involve decisions by Ludlow’s staff about how to reasonably meet diverse student needs within the school setting,” the unanimous three-judge panel wrote in its February 2025 decision. “The Supreme Court has never suggested that parents have the right to control a school’s curricular or administrative decisions.”
The insolence of these peasants!
Won’t someone think of the…
(shuffles cards)
… fey twinks??
In sixth grade, Pepper-Jackson heeded her girls’ track coach’s advice to switch from highly competitive distance running to field events. As a high school freshman last year, she took third place in the discus and eighth in the shot put at the state meet.
Dude wasn’t fast enough to keep up with the girls, so his coach put him in strength events, where… he still can’t beat the best girls.
Also notice the stolen base. It’s not that he won’t be able to compete in high school track and field. He’ll just have to compete against his fellow boys.
I would, but I’m at the office right now.
The fact he didn’t crush everyone else will be used as proof that it’s not an unfair advantage to transition.
He got himself attention in a national news outlet.
Goal achieved.
EPL relegation update, round 33 (magic number for safety in parenthesis):
Safe: Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Liverpool, Chelsea, Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton, Everton
Reasonably Safe: Sunderland(1), Fulham(2), Crystal Palace(4), Newcastle United(5)
Safe for Now: Leeds United(8)
Danger Zone: Nottingham Forest(11), West Ham United(14) |relegation zone starts here] Tottenham Hotspur(16)
Toast: Burnley(27)
Relegated: Wolverhampton
Big changes are Leeds moving out of Danger Zone and Wolves being officially down. Coventry City has clinched promotion, I am hoping Millwall comes up too, for the lolz. Tottenham continues their downward spiral. West Ham couldnt put the dagger in them today (WHU tied Crystal Palace), but it probably doesnt matter. They still havent won a league game this calendar year.

Nope.
I’m amazed that this somehow passed all the required “inspections”.
OTH, every home needs like 10 smoke detectors with the current code.
