How they hanging crew?
Well, the typical methodof hanging would be with nooses. But I’ve not seen a sign of dealth penalties having been handed out.
Bad: Friday’s storm knocked the top of a tree into my driveway.
Good: I got to chainsaw.
Bad: I’m sore.
Hung obviously.
“US, Iran Reach Deal to End Conflict, Trump Authorizes Reopening of Strait of Hormuz”
I think this is a bad deal and we didn’t kill enough IRGC people to make sure this doesn’t go wrong.
I suspect as much as anything it was a balancing act between the permanent damage being done to Iran’s oilfields* and the economic damage being done by high oil prices.
*Unless that was all bullshit, too
It’s about the last possible moment to do the deal and get gas prices most of the way back to where they were in February by election day.
Bee version of Mr. Dean’s observation.
Bonus Bee sneak preview of the peace deal.
So you are saying they will be back to finish killing the IRGC fanatics after the mid terms? I guess I can live with that…
Just some perspective about the people that were most opposed to actions against Iran…
There are no good guys or good choices it seems. Maybe we should have just nuked them already.
If the choice is nuke them, or leave them alone, I’d favor leaving them alone. If that is a problem for Israel and/or the Arab world – they can figure out how to solve it on their own.
Leaving them alone would have been a problem for us. When someone tells you they want you dead, take them at their word. pretending they would stop if only they could murder the Jews shows a level of stupid that is epic. Their book tells them to go after the Saturday people first, and once those are gone, to go after the Sunday ones. The ostrich strategy is not a strategy.
47 years of mostly idle talk just doesn’t worry me all that much. Particularly as we endured worse from worldwide communism.
What if the choice is, ‘nuke them, or turn over control of the Strait of Hormuz to them’?
Hopefully that doesn’t turn out to be the case, but I think it’s an important thought experiment.
Also, I was reading about the long term damage to oilfields that haven’t been shutdown properly, which necessitates getting them open again fairly quickly. In any case, the shocks to world wide oil demand from this, which are complicated with the EU going full retard with Netzero BS will take years to sort out.
“47 years of mostly idle talk just doesn’t worry me all that much. Particularly as we endured worse from worldwide communism.”
Idle talk? Really? That’s like saying that they only managed to kill a few of our people – not for lack of trying but out of ineptitude – so we can ignore it.. Not just lame, but stupid. Especially when dealing with nukes. With nukes you don’t need to be anything but in the neighborhood.
“In any case, the shocks to world wide oil demand from this, which are complicated with the EU going full retard with Netzero BS will take years to sort out.”
Now we are talking.
Everyone seems to miss out that the entire world energy market has been completely redrawn. Now the US is the top dog. Period. OPEC is on life support. The CCP suddenly has realized their belief that they could be immune to consequences if they went after Taiwan, is smoke. Their energy needs make them hypervulnerability. The Russians suddenly have to worry about Whiney the Pooh deciding to solve his energy problems by taking their Siberian energy. The EU now finds itself no longer holding the American tax payer hostage for its defense. And most important of all: the green energy/climate change commie cabal is DOA.
Getting Iran out of the picture (after Venezuela) has redrawn the map.
control of the Strait of Hormuz
Build a canal across the UAE peninsula.
With nukes you don’t need to be anything but in the neighborhood.
You have to be convinced they are suicidal to use a nuke against us.
Juris – have you paid no attention to the history of Islam?
The apocalyptic confrontation with the nonbeliever is something they strive for as ushering in a “good ending”.
Can’t be done given our current state of civil engineering technology.
Even if we could, said canal would end up close enough to the Strait to be vulnerable to Iranian drone and missile attacks.
“,You have to be convinced they are suicidal to use a nuke against us.”
I am 100% convinced they are. Based on their actions. Not just what they have told us. Khomeini’s racket was that he wanted Iran to be the country that would exterminate the Jews and take that war to the west, so their Mahdi could come and finally solve the schism between Shia and Sunni Islam in his favor. He went to his grave making sure when he died his country would be unable to deviate from that mandate.
The Soviets didn’t want to die, so we knew we could live with MAD. The mullahocracy has no such balance, and pretending they do is rediculous.
You have to be convinced they are suicidal to use a nuke against us.
Or, you have to think that they believe, and not without cause, that it would be politically improbable for a US president to nuke any of their population centers and “commit mass genocide” against the people who have no control over the regime. Which leaves military targets, so they might figure the result would be not too much worse than what they have already endured. Which is a small price to pay to righteously wound the Great Satan.
UCS, so they borrowed the apocalypse from Christianity? [Not that it was all that original there.]
vulnerable to Iranian drone and missile attacks
True, and casus belli for those who depend on trade from the region – which isn’t us, is it?
Alex, there is a difference between a cult of death and a suicidal intent. Christianity believes the true life comes after this one too.
politically improbable for a US president to nuke
Ask the Japanese about that.
JI, even you’re not that obtuse regarding the difference between 1945 and 2027
Ask the Japanese about that.
You going to pretend that the political landscape now is not radically different from 1945?
How many virgins do you get if you destroy ALL the infidels at once?
Build a canal across the UAE peninsula.
There is already a pipeline across the UAE. The Iranians hit the port facility on the east side of the peninsula. I read reports that the pipeline had been damaged but could find no confirmation.
The Saudis have a pipeline across the Arabian Peninsula connecting the Persian Gulf with the Red Sea. The Iranians hit that pipeline.
I think both pipelines carry oil and no natural gas.
People have been thinking about the problem of the Strait of Hormuz being a chokepoint.
the political landscape now
Well our politicians squandered the resolve of the people post 9/11, I’ll give you that much. You think complete annihilation of a country would be off the table after a nuclear strike? Oh sure, for some it would be – and I wouldn’t want to be the person defending them from the mob.
People have been thinking about the problem of the Strait of Hormuz being a chokepoint.
Fine – the people that are really affected by that can figure out how to solve it. That isn’t us. The Barbary pirates WERE our problem, because it was our ships they seized. It isn’t U.S. flagged commercial ships transiting the strait.
Or are we in fact world police?

Unfortunately, we are.

Only because we chose to be. Sure, that benefits a lot of people at zero cost to themselves. Why any of us here should defend such a proposition is beyond me.

Oil stocks are not down much today.
Should have sold a week ago regardless.
I’m guessing oil prices come down but company valuations stay high.
I thought we bombed their uranium into untouchable territory a year ago? Are they (Israel and the US gov’ts) lying to us then or now? I already know Iran is lying to me. Fuck all of these lying assholes.
It is under “literally” tons of rock. But that doesn’t mean they can go dig it out with all the equipment they have… So unless we are willing to attack – into perpetuity – any work crew in the area….
And if Congress acts, we can get there even faster.
JINX!!
Seriously. Congressional “action” is how we got here. Fire the lot of them. Into the sun, if necessary.
Congress has acted. What was the Big Beautiful Bill and what president went to bat for it?
Taxing is hard, spending is fun.
Taxing is easy, just print more money and find a scapegoat for inflation. You don’t even need the tax cattle to comply, the transfer is automatic.

“Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” Sharif wrote on X moments before Trump confirmed the plan.
As far as I can tell this morning, there is no text of the agreement publicly available. We only have reports from the Pakistani PM, Trump, and Iranian officials. And honestly, of the three, I trust the Pakistani PM the most. I’ve seen differing accounts on what will be done with frozen Iranian assets.
Israeli officials say they won’t leave Lebanon.
I trust the Pakistani PM the most

Debt will balloon to 123% of entire US economy by 2036 without action from Congress: GAO
Narrator: Congressional action will bring that date in a few years.
I am at this point assuming this result was the intent. They wanted this. That is why it will also never get “fixed”…
Reduced spending doesn’t buy as many votes.
They’re bringing a little of Scotland over here, too.
A famous statue of the Duke of Wellington on horseback has been in downtown Glasgow since 1844. For some reason, someone put a traffic cone on the Duke’s head, and all efforts to remove it are short-lived. It’s become one of the most whackadoodle iconic sights of the city.
So of course, the Scots are giving the statuary in Boston the Wellington treatment.
I didn’t know the Scots had a beef with Wellington.
Not since they gave him the boot.
I thought they were mostly pudding it to Yorkshire.

WTF does “Free Palestine” actually mean?
“Workers of the world unite”?
“Kill the Jews,” probably.
ES beat me to it.
““Kill the Jews,” probably.”
I would say definitely…
Workers of the World Unite in Killing Jews!
Since there is not, and never has been, a country of Palestine, it basically means cleanse Israel of the Jews and give it to the local Arabs.
There is that but I am riffing on the fact that the same crowd shows up at all the commie riots waving Pali flags. Most of those graduates probably couldn’t point the place out on a map.
“There is that but I am riffing on the fact that the same crowd shows up at all the commie riots waving Pali flags. Most of those graduates probably couldn’t point the place out on a map.”
Assuming there is some logic, reason, and facts behind why commies see Jews as successful, and thus colonialists, and ignoring the Jordanians living in what passes for Palestine being absolute evil and vile monsters, is the mistake. With marxists and the idiots front line protesters, you are guilty and deserve extermination if you are successful. Marxists are literally life’s losers playing out their envy and jealousy of other people’s success. There is no need to understand anything other than “success = evil”, and “failure = the good guys” to marxist douchebags. See Musk making money making the world better ticking them all off.

But would autonomous AI mathematics be mathematics at all? As the mathematician and philosopher Reuben Hersh (1927-2020) argued, mathematics isn’t only a human activity but a social phenomenon. All sorts of mathematical truths aren’t properly part of what we refer to as mathematics unless they are discovered and explained by human beings. Progress in mathematics is a matter of communication; a proof that is poorly explained is no better than a proof that is wrong.

Musk Defense to the rescue – build missiles like he builds satellites? [I worked adjacent to the last big sat build for communications – MUOS; each sat was essentially a custom build and there is now a contract for an additional pair to extend the system life less than 10 years.]
Of course the fundamental problem is that military requirements always place cost last. Performance must be met first. There is a trade-off there, and no General is going to accept that.
Considering that a Generals job is to kill and break things, and cost, either in lives or cash, is a political thing, is that surprising?
So they learned their lessons from M-16’s known for jamming under less than laboratory operating conditions and Humvee’s that were too big slow and expensive to do a good job replacing jeeps and too light to withstand urban warfare? Or have they learned that from the littoral combat ships that have been a debacle from day one?
No, LAH, they learned from the size of the gratuities and kickbacks.
is that surprising?
Well, bad generals complain that they don’t have the resources. Good/successful generals win with what they’ve got.
Addenda to ZWAK – I very literally was told about requirements that “a general signed off on it” and therefore it was valid whether it was possible or not. That’s the stupid that pervades the military bureaucracy.
A generals job is to stay in the job as long as he can and golf as much as he can, avoid deployments and retire without all the ortho injuries that lower enlisted get.

If you still do not understand the damage Musk buying Twitter and freeing X (despite all the existing problems, cause it is far from perfect) did to the cabal that ran things and controlled information for the rubes, just look at the places where they have government still working hard at doing more of that shit.

I read somewhere (might have been on TwiX?) that the U.K.’s new rule banning social media access for under-16 children, won’t apply to Bluesky.
That really tells you all you need to know, doesn’t it?
You are correct. They are not banning BlueSky. The one source where is is all curated lies like we had back in 2020.

“It’s hard to oversell how nauseating the entire excerpt is, especially since it’s replete with Vance’s overbearing efforts to inject religious language into every beat of his story about his allegedly great friendship with Kirk. It’s hard to read sentences like, “Charlie taught me to love all parts of our Christian communion,” while imagining Vance’s voice, especially as his only gear as a public speaker is to use a snide tone, even when talking about his supposed higher aspirations. But these are granular annoyances. The real question is why did Vance choose a passage about Kirk, who is beyond old news, as a represenation of a book people are supposed to want to buy now?”

For the children
Britain will ban children under 16 from using a range of social media apps including Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube to protect young people from harmful content and excessive screen time, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Monday,
Starmer told a news conference that he will fight back if technology companies resist the move, and acknowledged some teens would try to find their way around a ban. But he said he is “not prepared to compromise on the safety and happiness of our children.”
Will violators be publicly flogged?
Good timing. See above.
Unless it means prosecuting and deporting third world rapists and murderers.
These fucking evil leftists always do their evil shit claiming it is for the children. Think about the chilrun!!!!
I am. And as such I propose a complete woodchippering of every Labour, Green, LibDem politician and staffer in the UK along with every migrant and their spawn. The resultant compost, once decontaminated, can be used to revitalize the agricultural industry as fertilizer. Thus providing less of a need to depend on imports, and materials in food processing and transport industries.
Not separating the “human oil” seems to be a waste.

The U.K. said its ban will apply to platforms including Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X, but not YouTube Kids or messaging services like WhatsApp and Signal. Starmer stressed that enforcement action will target tech companies, not children.
Kids don’t have very deep pockets.

“Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland last week won New Mexico’s gubernatorial primary, with a 2-to-1 lead over her opponent. She’ll be up against Republican nominee Gregg Hull in November’s general election….
On the American energy scene, New Mexico is the second-largest producer behind Texas, pumping out 2 million barrels of oil per day….
This has some worried about Haaland’s ascent to the governor’s office. Throughout her political career and as head of the Department of Interior during the Biden-Harris administration, Haaland was openly hostile to oil and gas production. Should she succeed in becoming New Mexico’s next governor, she may look to implement her anti-fossil fuel ambitions on the state’s oil and gas industry, which could have impacts beyond the state’s borders.”

Jon Crowcroft, a communications systems professor at the University of Cambridge, said people supporting social bans are well-meaning but probably misguided, and changes could prevent children from accessing sites they need.
“There is a real risk this will drive some users to worse sites and policing devices is close to impossible technically,” Crowcroft said. “Policing platforms is far easier, if only regulators would bother.”
Censorship, of course. Why didn’t we think of that sooner?
could prevent children from accessing sites they need
Need huh? Children just couldn’t survive like they did before social media and the internet, could they?
I agree that kids shouldn’t be on social media, but these bans are:
a) Not enforceable
b) Bound to be unevenly applied, which is exactly what’s happening
c) a way to force everyone to identify themselves and prove their age
Emphasis on the ‘identify themselves’.
The Regime hates the very idea of anonymity.
Yep CT, they provide a pretext for identifying everyone before they can look at stuff which is what this is all about. Hell, the a British government doesn’t even care when their children are en masse victimized so it follows that the “for the children” narrative is bollocks.
I suspect that enforcing correctthought is the entire point of this exercise.

WTF is up with Utah?
They’re going to prison.
Haha!
Utah might be prosecuting government employees for doing what they’re doing in every other state?
Yes, I know this particular case is a federal prosecution, but those don’t happen without at least some level of state law enforcement assistance.
I was thinking Mormon Women for Ethical Government getting more D’s redistricted in and the American Fork PD as far as modern happenings.
And of course there is Romney and McMuffin.
I mean, women in politics, cops, and politicians in general, are going to produce an outsized number of degenerate assholes no matter where they are.
Maybe it’s easier to see in Utah because it contrasts with the generally conservative culture?
Utah started as LDS collectivism.
As fewer people belong to the LDS it has stayed collectivist and moved to the Marxist left.
Took a buddy out to the range Saturday, to do a little intermediate-range carbine shooting.
E had never fired a rifle past about 100 yards. With a few hours of practice, he was consistently ringing an 18″x30″ silhouette target at 500 yards. Pretty nice!
Irons and standing, or scope and rest?
360 noscope, blindfolded.
Optics, of course. We’re not all Luddites out here. We shot from a variety of supported kneeling and standing positions using some semi-realistic props (a tank trap and a fence gate).
While I know there are some people who can hit a 1mrad target at 500 yards with the right set of iron sights, I doubt that anyone could do it standing and unsupported.
More importantly, we were getting into position and shooting under time pressure. Speed is important!
Nice.
I need to get some training.
Barbarella rallies the faithful
“There is a clear effort to destroy our fundamental democratic rights and dramatically retake our form of governance,” Fonda, a vocal critic of the president, told the crowd.
Saying that “democracy is in peril,” Fonda exclaimed, “In the face of what’s happening, we need our industry to be unified, activated and unwilling to engage in anticipatory obedience.”
“We stand together in defense of our right to free expression. They come for one of us, by God, they come for all of us,” the Academy Award winner said.
“I think the Un-American Activities Committee right now is coming from the White House,” Fonda said.
“But you know what motivates this assault on us,” she continued.
“It’s because of all the victories that we’ve won: Victories in civil rights and in social justice. They’re trying to roll them all back,” Fonda said.
They have been winning their asses off. Onward, utopian collectivists!
That movie gave us a great band, a great song by that band, and an excellent working model for when sexbots finally come around.
Pity about the human involved.
♪♪♪Barbarella, come and save me from my misery,
Can’t you see it’s a disease…♪♪♪

No shit, we are retaking it from the progressives.
She is exhibit 1 that wisdom does not necessarily come with age.
Wisdom comes from being able to associate consequences to causes properly.
If one never sees consequences either personally, or for those around them, wisdom becomes an impossibility.
Where “free expression” excludes the things she does not believe in.
She should have been hanged upon her return from North Vietnam.
I concede she was good in Coming Home. Cute in Barefoot in the Park.
Apparently management just found out yesterday that workers would be coming to start replacing our roof today. 😖🔨🔨🔨
😱
Shouldn’t such things be known further in advance?
It would have been nice to know Friday so more employees could have taken their laptops home to work remotely. 🙄
Who booked them and is paying for the work? It sounds management might know that either? Or are they playing y’all?
Management knew they were coming, just not exactly when they were going to start. 🤷🏼♀️
Last time I had a roof replaced it was two month of radio silence and then a call “we will be there tomorrow at 6am.”
When I had my roof replaced, we set the date in advance and they showed up on that day.
I just had mine done too, and it went the way UCS says. yeah there was a long back & forth at first cause this company guaranteed they would get my insurance to pay as they could prove the damage came from a hail storm, but once they were there, I got a date and they showed up on that date.
If you get people that just show up whenever, I would be worried that your management is not too god at getting commitment or chose poorly… Maybe they had to work around the FIFA schedule for some south American countries?

Can you watch in Spanish?
Local roofer that did my stuff had El Salvadoreans. He thought they were more reliable, they certainly worked fast and so far, after 4-5 years no leaks.
Building a foundation
This was a Latina from New York, in the South, in Martin Luther King’s former church, stirring up Black Democrats.
——-
Ocasio-Cortez is reaching out to Black voters after drawing big crowds last year with democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on their “Fighting Oligarchy Tour.”
At 84 years old, Sanders is not running for president. But his high energy movement of mostly left-wing, white Democrats is moving ahead. In Democratic primaries last week, candidates with his endorsement won a lot.
As Politico wrote last week, Sanders’ candidates “cleaned house on Tuesday, a coast-to-coast show of force headlined by a resounding win for his embattled Senate pick in Maine, Graham Platner…”
If those mostly white Democrats join with Blacks and Latinos at the polls in November it creates the best chance for a “Wave Election,” to transform Capitol Hill and a rebuke of President Trump.
Ocasio-Cortez looks to be intent on recreating the energy of the last Democrat to build a multi-racial coalition of Democratic voters.
Picking up Obama’s baton and making a break for the White House. Save us, wise Latina!
She is the cure for what ails us. She can beat Trump.
movement of mostly left-wing, white Democrats
and
a multi-racial coalition of Democratic voters
???
Why no, there is no contradiction there at all!
Mostly left-wing?
yeah lol
Definitely “mostly white”.
I don’t think they’re going to attract as many black or brown folks as they need, unless they stop prattling on about luxury issues like tranny sports and “end ICE” and “ACAB”.
Obama was practically right-wing compared the “Wave” of communists that are running that outfit today.
I think Obama was real good at hiding his marxism and nefarious disdain for this country. That is why he wanted – and got – that Joe Biden third term. Then he really let his freak out…
Her words at Ebenezer echoed Barack Obama’s 2004 appeal to Democrats. He famously reached across racial lines by saying there is no “Black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America: There is a United States of America.”
And then they all laughed and laughed…
They didn’t want to interrupt him when he was on a roll.
“And I’m going to fundamentally transform it so there damn sure is a Black America and Latino America. We’ll see about the whites and the Asians.”
inorite?
Their whole schtick is putting every American into the correct pigeonhole and then turning them all against each other.

I am all for this. More Americans need to see real communism in action. Perhaps they will learn something from the experience.
The left is really mad that someone pointed out Michelle Obama has a dick?
No, but it’s a slow news day.
If you can parade with a balloon of Donald Trump in a diaper and call him a pedo, you can say Michelle Obama has a dick.
“While 59 percent of voters disapproved of Trump in a May New York Times-Siena poll, 83 percent of Blacks and 71 percent of Hispanics viewed him negatively.
Trump had about 40 percent support among Hispanics in March of 2025. It is now down to about 25 percent. A May UnidosUS poll found that among Latinos who voted for Trump in 2024 a quarter of them now say “if they could do it over again, they would not vote for him.””
It’s the economy stupid.
