    “In fact, they shelled out tens of thousands of dollars to multiple members of the Ku Klux Klan.”

    Really?

    • Rat on a train

      Supply was low so they subsidized.

      • juris imprudent

        But, but, but Say’s Law!!!

    • Not Adahn

      Seems trivially true. They were paying informants. Informants were members of those orgs, so…

      • UnCivilServant

        Are there any members of those organizations who are not glowies?

      • (((Jarflax

        There is one retarded kid who someone brought along and forgot about, but his Mom always packs cookies and he is willing to share so the glowies keep bringing him along.

      • WTF

        So NA chooses to believe the bullshit excuse they gave? Or maybe it’s just typical knee-jerk devil’s advocate performance.

      • Not Adahn

        I have no idea WTF you’re talking about WTF. Who is giving what excuse? The accusations are about banking reg vios which without knowing the specifics seems like an easy place to find/invent violations (it’s structuring!) and the accusation that SPLC gave money to badpeople (defining badpeople by being a member of badgroup) is literally what the SPLC is claiming they were doing.

      • WTF

        Who is giving what excuse?

        “Oh, we weren’t paying agitators to agitate so we could raise money and keep our grift going, we were paying confidential informants, yeah, that’s the ticket. Even though we are not an agency that can use CIs to build a criminal case. It’s an obvious load of horseshit.

      • Not Adahn

        To be clear:

        -CT wonders if the accusations of the SPLC giving money to the various Klans are true.

        -I respond that they are trivially true, based on what the SPLC says they are doing.

        And from this, you think I’m believing some as-yet-unmentioned SPLC excuse, even though I literally said that the SPLC’s statements make the accusations true?

        WTF WTF. Go relieve your hate-boner in a ficus.

      • Ted S.

        NA: I think WTF is saying you’re believing the FBI’s excuse.

        You two need to get a room together.

      • Not Adahn

        Dafuq does the FBI have to do with this? Is this a new thing that the FBI was funneling money into the Morris Dees Lifestyle Enhancement Fund? That would be an allegation I have not yet heard.

      • juris imprudent

        You mean the FBI isn’t one of the SPLC’s donors?

      • Not Adahn

        Why would they need to be? Between the wealthy lefties and the Obama era “we’re going to fine you $BIGNUM for these violations we’re declaring you guilty of OR you can pay $0.0001BIGNUM to one of these “charities” on this list here and we’ll dismiss everything,” I’m sure the FBI would rather retain that money to bid against the USSS for Colombian hookers.

      • (((Jarflax

        I’m sure the FBI would rather retain that money to bid against the USSS for Colombian hookers.

        The beauty of baseline budgeting and CRs is that there is never a need to make hard choices like this! Spend and you shall receive more next year!

        I didn’t insult you, but you come off with this? I guess I hit a nerve.
        GFY, asshole.

      “You can see the breakdown of the amounts the SPLC gave out to the various extremist groups below:”

      No you can’t, because you just linked to X like a lazy bum.

      • (((Jarflax

        Oooh we have a potato fight brewing!

      • juris imprudent

        Someone’s going to get the starch knocked out of them?

        Everyone will have their eyes on it

      • Evan from Evansville

        Tuber real, they both have it coming. They’ll be fine, thick-skinned chaps.

      • DrOtto

        That would be a peeling, especially if someone got the chip knocked off their shoulder.

    • Common Tater

      “In fact, that TPUSA case study was so obviously tending toward encouraging violence that the FBI last October cut ties with the SPLC over it.”

      Why did they have ties in the first place? I knew the SPLC was complete horseshit, and I’m not a bunch of professional investigators.

      • (((Jarflax

        It was complete horseshit that provided accusations against conservatives on demand. Sort of an all purpose confidential informant if you wanted a warrant to go after political enemies. Why wouldn’t the secret police have ties to them?

      • rhywun

        You and I knew that but they have been held in the highest regard by government morons for decades.

      • Not Adahn

        Because a private organization can violate your civil rights and not get the evidence so obtained tossed out of court, unlike the FBI.

  2. Common Tater

    I’m starting to think that all these fights over Virginia (remember Bloomberg trying to increase gun control) are because it’s so close to DC.

    • rhywun

      I wonder if the GOP can push out 5 Dems somewhere. Will they do it, or “take the high road” in response to the dirty tricks?

      • SDF-7

        I think Indiana gave the likely answer to your question.

      • juris imprudent

        That would be the most amusing result – that the Republicans turn out better in the election and pick up seats. But I’m not expecting that.

    • Common Tater

      “”Democrats countered that the redrawing of the maps was a necessary step to balance partisan gerrymandering already implemented by Republicans in other states at Trump’s urging.”

      Literally it’s different when we do it?

      • rhywun

        It’s right there in the name – the “Fair Map”. Disenfranchising 40% of your residents is “fair”, isn’t it?

      • Ownbestenemy

        That logic makes no sense. So naturally its a politicians response

      • juris imprudent

    “The scandal centers on Chefilus-McCormick being indicted for allegedly stealing a $5 million overpayment from a FEMA-funded COVID vaccination staffing contract.”

    These things are becoming as much as a non-story as Brazilian influencer dies.

      If we’re lucky she’ll bring down some of her colleagues with her just for spite. Most of them are crooked and you know they all know the score on each other.

      • Evan from Evansville

        Ya know. If political corruption is as rampant as well all believe (throughout history), it seems hard to *not* know folk also in the Game. (Gotta kinda have an entry point, yeah?)

        If the Game focused on taking *me* out? And not all the other fucks I know are dirty? I’d take ’em out for spite. But what of my Golden Parachute? Uh. Out of said spite, I’d make a new career by ratting out all those fucks. Accrue valuable info over time, cuz ya know Team Leaders are doing it to everyone else.

    Texas Can Require Display of Ten Commandments in Classrooms

    *insert Picard not this shit again image*

    Let’s start religious wars in the classroom. Smooth move, socons.

      Pick your poison – dedicated prayer rooms for a specific religion or a display.

        Call to prayer five times a day.

        WhyTF they wanna open up this can of worms is beyond me. They can’t help themselves, I guess.

      • juris imprudent

        The power of Jesus compels them.

    • Rat on a train

      They should display the Code of Federal Regulation in the classroom. Let the kids see what they have to live under.

    I’ll remind the Glibertariat that the former congresswoman was the successor to Alcee Hastings, so corruption is part of a long tradition to the seat she won.

    She’s also the first Haitian-American in Congress, which means that her fraudulent schemes would have all the sophistication of a Somali Learing Center.

    • (((Jarflax

    OFFS! I appreciate the sentiment but really? Don’t be an authoritarian dick about it.

    The story was first reported by The Washington Post, citing Mexican officials who said the car skidded off the road, plunged down a ravine and exploded.

    I think I saw that clip in about fifty different 80s action movies.

    “Kash Patel’s lawsuit against the Atlantic has already backfired, big time.

    Had the FBI director just put out a statement denouncing the magazine’s piece on him, the controversy would have vanished in two days.

    But by filing the $250 million suit against what he calls a “defamatory hit piece,” he turned it into a top story on cable news, especially MS NOW, with constant coverage all day Monday, most of it unfavorable.

    In other words, Patel shined a white-hot spotlight on accusations of excessive drinking and disappearances to a vastly larger audience than would have heard about them.”

      • Ownbestenemy

        Yep, they (media even more so than Dems IMO) want as many heads to roll in spectacular fashion to hammer a ‘disfunctional’ administration for mid-terms.

      • DrOtto

      • J. Frank Parnell

        Yes, and they’d also argue that it must be true because he isn’t suing.

    “”Sam,” a 22-year-old orthopedic surgeon in training, told Wired that he got the idea to sell AI-generated images of a young woman in a bikini while scrounging for money in school — and trying to save up enough to emigrate to the US after graduation.

    He turned to Google’s Gemini AI for advice and decided to create a “hot girl” crafted specifically for the “MAGA/conservative niche,” after the software told him that “the conservative audience (especially older men in the US) often has higher disposable income and is more loyal,” according to Wired.”

    The Houston Police Department relieved Officer Ashley Gonzalez of duty pending an internal investigation into the alleged racist rant targeting “black people” posted on social media, Click2Houston reported on Tuesday.

    Gonzalez is accused of making multiple racial remarks in the social media post, proclaiming she “hates black people” and threatening to arrest any “black person” if they were at a call she was dispatched to, according to the clip shared by Grizzy’s Hood News.”

    Best English tshirt in Korea: Middle school student came in with a blue shirt, white outline of Virginia’s state lines. Dad’s from Abingdon, VA. But this kids shirt replaced the slogan with “Vagina Is for Lovers.”

        All sorts of madcappery, many examples you’ve seen, of bad or misinformed translations gone awry. It’s also a reason all KPop (I assume JPop as well, pretty much *requires* at least a small English verse or phrase. English is hot. They also require(d?) a bit of an ‘urban’ flavor as well.

    While discussing Clinton, Buckley asked if the 2026 Democratic presidential nominee was ‘still with her girlfriend, who’s married to George Soros’s son.’

    On the Virginia redistricting. I kind of wonder if they may not have over reached with this map, not in the sense of it being a blatant political move, that part is obvious, but in the sense that Virginia is not a 65:35 State it’s a 51-55:45-49 State and going for a 10:1 split means the 10 districts can’t be all that safe.

    • R C Dean

      I think the problem they have is the referendum authorizes redistricting to make it more fair. The map they want to adopt doesn’t qualify.

    • Ownbestenemy

      The yes votes are about team and team only.

    • RAHeinlein

      All things considered – the vote was very close. And considering mail-in voting, other shenanigans, and the Dem machine putting this in motion with their base well before voting, the gap is even narrower than I would have expected.

    “The Purple One’s descent into opioid addiction was also remarkably average. The long version could only have happened to Prince — he fell from an on-stage bathtub from which he planned to sing “Purple Rain” — but what came after was routine. A doctor prescribed him pain pills that are incredibly addictive, a cure that does nothing to address the underlying cause of chronic pain.

    “Most insurance … won’t pay for anything but a pill,” University of Cincinnati professor Judith Feinberg told the BBC in 2017. “The best thing is physical therapy, but no one will pay for that. So doctors get very ready to pull out the prescription pad.””

    Because Prince couldn’t afford physical therapy?

    • R C Dean

      Well, insurance will pay for PT. In fact, current rules require opioids be used only as a last resort.

      The problem with PT is people won’t do it.
