Good morning one and all to another stupendous day!
That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.

Can it end in 2026 then?
I haven’t watched any late night since early letterman and Arsineo Hall.
Paywalled, so couldn’t read much of it, but SCOTUS declining to reinstate the old map and a District Court reinstating the old map is not a conflict.

Depends on the browser. Web search should tell you quickly.

I’m guessing most glibs are using some sort of a desktop at work.

Declassified FBI notes expose discrepancies between Flynn interview, official FBI records
And nothing else happened.
The FBI Agent was eventually fired. Flynn went bankrupt defending himself.
Getting fired, and then I’m sure the Dem machine kept him paid and compensated for his loyal services.
I haven’t yet listened to the NBC interview, but coverage from The Post Millenial has this nugget:
First, they criticize the holdout for concern for the children Lindsay Clancy murdered in cold blood. Then then smugly congratulate themselves for engaging in “self-care and group care.” This betrays both a total indifference to human suffering, and complete self-absorption.
And yet women are somehow better suited to be leaders.
I guess the pathological narcissist on trial did, in fact, get a jury of her peers.
[somber nod]
I saw a snippet of that interview. Those women obviously see themselves as somehow heroic, not realizing they come off as monsters. The man “had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children.”
Holy shit. This shit is why women weren’t allowed to vote prior to the 19th amendment.
Yes. Repeal the 19th.
“Those women obviously see themselves as somehow heroic, not realizing they come off as monsters.”
I suspect NBC saw things that way, too, but inadvertently did the rest of us a favor by exposing them for who they are.
I’m hoping the phrase ““had the hardest time getting off the fact” goes viral and is used against them.
Like I said, all jokes aside, repealing the 19th has become a mainstream talking point. That’s where feminism has gotten us. Equality was truly and genuinely just a fact of life barely considered when I was growing up.
I’m well aware that politically it won’t happen barring the entire Constitution being thrown aside via revolution, but the true discussion of it isn’t some thing that can just be dismissed.
I’ll say it too, repeal the 19th.
Yup. Somehow the jury got composed of the same crowd of freaks that were hanging around outside.
You have to wonder how the prosecution allowed that to happen.
First off, the prosecution can’t strike female jurors until they get an all-male jury.
Second, I suspect they believed a jury of women would be pretty fucking judgmental of a woman who killed her own kids. Like a lot of us, they were surprised at how deep and wide the brainrot is.
@WTF – You only get so many exclusions during voir dire.
I’m going with the OJ prosecution. They thought they had a slam dunk case, which they did, except it became a cultural phenomenon and then the rulebook goes out the window.
@ RC and DrOtto – I am aware of that, it still seems like the defense ate the prosecution’s lunch on jury selection.
This was also interesting.
From O.J. Simpson to Lindsay Clancy
Both trials became spectacles that tore existing social fissures wide open.

These questions go beyond a conservative call to revert to a former legal status quo—they express a palpable hostility toward women, as such.
Perhaps people (especially men) see the weaponization of empathy and fairness and the revealed preference that those aren’t reciprocal see it as a hostile palpability towards them as such.
Perhaps people (especially men) see the weaponization of empathy and fairness and the revealed preference that those aren’t reciprocal see it as a hostile palpability towards them as such.
“Backlash? What’s that?”
The redefinition of fairness to mean infinite mercy toward specific groups, and collective demonization toward other groups, has oddly reduced the willingness by those other groups to play the game any more. What is coming is going to be very ugly indeed, and it is going to hurt all of us, but that is what happens when you don’t treat a festering wound in time.
To paraphrase Tim Walz, should we really be judging people by what they do on their worst day?
Yes.
Because they are responsible for their own actions.
Did the jury consider if Ted Bundy was bummed out?
Maybe Jeffrey Dahmer was really hungry? Or hangry?
They didn’t get fair juries.
Damn your fast fingers.
You can’t have the rule of law unless the institutions charged with applying the law to situations actually apply the law. With judges routinely releasing convicted criminals after short, or sometimes no, incarceration, juries made up of people incapable of understanding the law, or unwilling to convict members of their own race, or simply overly empathetic toward the criminals, we no longer have the general rule of law. In its place we have relatively safe areas and no go zones. And we largely just accept this, and those of us with enough money to live in the safe areas go about our lives, while those forced to live in the no go zones are preyed upon by the ferals. This is not a situation that can endure.
Far too few people realize that the cops are there to protest the criminals from the populace, not the other way around.

Sensei:
Yeah, there’s been (what to me feels like) an astroturfed campaign to bolster Sarti Rosa (which was just introduced). The massive media campaign has turned me off to it on general principle, if it’s still around in two years, I’ll give it a try then.
I like Aperol. That new stuff sounds awful.
I, too, like Aperol; lotta carbs, tho.
Eventually, you will see the rise of powerful organized crime families.
“This is not a situation that can endure.”
That situation endures in many places on earth and has for a very long time.
America is regressing to the norm.
The norm includes private vengeance killings, lynch mobs and other alternatives to the rule of law. That is what I am referring to. The civilized people of our society are largely still acting as though there is a rule of law.
There is still rule of law punishment for normal people.
I was also struck by this: “He would not interact with us and try to understand,” she said.”
Now I know I’m reading into this a bit, but I’ve started to see this as a leftist tell. That is there is no mention that they tried to understand him. Nope, they have the truth and they have no need to understand the other side.
In the lefty world “more talk” is always the solution. But the more talk is to talk until you agree with them.
One of the reasons I keep mentioning British blogger David Thompson. He talks a lot about the lack of reciprocity when it comes to things like empathy.
He also makes the point that a lot of “woke” is a rationalization for people to get their inner sociopath on and claim they’re being morally superior.
Plus, Thompson is hilarious in the classically dry British way.
They likely screened them by how many abortions they had had.
A Canada/US trade war has to be the stupidest thing ever.
I tend to believe that its due to the near-colonization of Canada by China. They have a proxy now to fuck with the US, and they are using it.
When the Chinese start building missile bases and biolabs on our border, people may start to understand the Ukraine war.
The fentanyl labs are there, on ‘first nations’ lands.
Yes. Mark Carney is a goddamned know-nothing retard.
This is correct. Canada is wholly owned by China and the WEF, and they are screwing with us.
We’ve always been at trade war with Canada.
Heard that… person… going off on the teevee. CWAC.
What a clusterfuck and it sounds like a completely compromised jury. A mistrial was inevitable.
Yeah, I saw that some of the jurors started wearing pink during the trial, like the pro-murderer protestors outside. Some people tried to pass it off as “oh, who doesn’t have pink in their wardrobe”.
Bullshit. They might as well have been waiving Al Qaeda flags during the trial of a Muslim terrorist. That’s when the mistrial should have been declared.
I don’t. My red shirts haven’t faded that far yet.
Should I get a Salmon tie?
For the jurors to know that pink was a symbol, they must have been following media about the case. Were they not forbidden to do that?
Or noticed the mob wearing pink that they had to pass each day as the came to the court.
I would think it would start to stink after a few weeks.
Yes, very fishy, the salmon tie. Especially if it isn’t quite dead yet when you put it on and starts to flop.
You are selected for jury duty, sit through an open and shut case of a triple-child murdered… And you have to endure a week of nagging by wine soaked old bags from Massachusetts. What a nightmare.
This guy deserves a medal.
For Q: The perfect woman doesn’t…
The way she dresses, she’s pretty proud of them, too.

Crazy long article on 60 Minutes in the WSJ this AM.
‘60 Minutes’ Returns in a Major Test for New Leadership
The venerable newsmagazine premieres its 59th season Sunday, following dramatic shake-ups
https://www.wsj.com/business/media/60-minutes-returns-in-a-major-test-for-new-leadership-c7ba9f8d?st=R8v2ug&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
And my question is, who at this point cares? It would seem only the MSM itself. Nobody who isn’t close to retirement watches TV news shows like this anymore. If you are going to devote an hour to something like this it’s going to be a “podcast” of whatever supports your particular politics.
Old people vote.
And the left very much cares that a news outlet they used to have complete control over has been straying from the plantation. That cannot be allowed.
Yes, but they die. And the “new” old people won’t be watching these things.
The left already has the dead vote.
The people that fill out ballots at the nursing homes vote.
It’s the valorization of journalism again. Credentialed journalists are doing sacred work, and disagreeing with them is blasphemy.
How Woke Is the National Museum of American History?
Two thing that absolutely strike me from this piece:
1. But a museum isn’t the sum of its director’s public comments, nor its annual reports, memos and whatnot. So I visited and, passing through security and into the lobby just off the National Mall. I immediately encountered, to my surprise, a photo of a drag queen.
2. Every word in the popular culture exhibition, “Entertainment Nation / Nación del Espectáculo,” which launched in late 2022, is rendered first in English and second in Spanish, but no other language, in equal size with equal emphasis.
Sigh. Good riddance to everyone involved.

Carney invokes history while eyeing China and EU to replace US
Carney, in claiming that Canada will “pivot” to the EU and China, invoked Sir John A. MacDonald’s National Policy.
The National Policy was intended to be a policy of tariffs and other measures to protect Canadian businesses from competition, largely from the United States. As always, there were unintended consequences: being protected from competition, Canadian businesses were content to divide up the Canadian market for themselves, and those businesses that did export were largely branch plants of US companies.
Carney’s claim is that Canada will use a similar strategy to re-orient our exports to the European Chinese markets. The problem is, the National Policy, over almost 150 years, has resulted in a country that doesn’t have the infrastructure to bring its resources to tidewater either on the Atlantic or the Pacific, and a business culture that doesn’t understand how to export internationally.
Trump is a temporary problem. He’s likely to be a lame duck in a few months, and at worst will be out of office in just over two years. Carney is proposing long-term pain to achieve an unattainable solution to a problem that will resolve itself in a few short months.
Instead of poking the bear, he would be better off ignoring Trump’s trolling and getting back to negotiating with the adults in the room to get a deal. This will likely mean cancelling the trade deals he made with China, or at least agreeing to properly designate China as the country of origin on steel and aluminum, and ending supply management, something that would be an unmitigated good for most Canadians.
I was told this guy was a financial genius who was best able to deal with Trump, but it’s clear he has no idea what he’s doing.

I believe I read that Canada no longer has cross country rail for freight any more. In typical politician thinking you can just build out infrastructure to support these things in months.
Well, if you’re a member of the CCP, you can.
And you won’t have any silly concerns about “worker safety” or “the environment”.
Two years ago we went to eastern BC on vacation.
Their highways are sketch too.
Or build quality.
CN still does. At least on their map. CPKC doesn’t span to the Atlantic in Canada (but does in Maine and access to Great Lakes ports, plus the gulf and down into Mexico).
Let us how submission to China works out for you.

New TSA Program Lets Non-Flyers Greet Family at Airport Gates

I’ve avoided talking about this trial, but holy shit
This, right here, 100%, is what I’m hearing from my SIL. She’s an otherwise sane person, but she’s an NP and she did her own analysis of the medications and doctor visits etc., and is convinced the husband used all of that to drive her crazy and make her do this, or he did it and framed her, or something like that. I can’t see this ever having an impartial jury. Maybe they can get some imported Somalis who don’t read the news in English.

The Most Expensive Home for Sale in Iowa Lists for $10.2 Million

I did not move.
I only saw a brief flash of the house before the paywall kicked in. I think I have seen that listing before.
But yes, you can live like royalty in Iowa for 10 mil.
My “Live like royalty” standards includes a territory and people over which you exercise the divine right of kings and absolute or near absolute authority.
Apparently that is not far from where I live and work.
That would be “live as royalty” UnCiv.

While the left claims errors are administrative lapses that can’t be helped, this doesn’t explain why overpayments are seven times larger than underpayments. When the feds footed the entire bill, the political incentive for states was to expand enrollment and boost payments, even if it meant some people received benefits they shouldn’t have.
No way… Incentives, how do they work?
https://www.wsj.com/opinion/food-stamp-reform-gop-welfare-benefits-congress-63221a37?st=deGp2x&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
This is standard practice for the left, similar to voting. I read once that the left wants as many people as possible to vote, even if it means some ineligible people slip through. But the right wants voting to be secure, even if it means some eligible people are excluded. I think the majority of people agree with the right on this, but the left isn’t going to give up a core belief and so you will never have agreement on voting or welfare.
The entire farm bill needs to be done away with.
No more propping up farmers and subsidizing the sloth of millions.

Can East Germany’s Cold War History Explain the Rise of the AfD?
14 hours ago
By Isaac Chotiner
That’s it! It can’t be for the many other reasons AfD itself has suggested.
The memory of no-shit communism lingers on.
Firefox is loading like crap. Brave can load the site in less than 10 seconds, from home screen to post. Firefox is taking 45 seconds. Also Firefox is having issues on other websites. Hmm….
Turn off all your Firefox extensions and see what happens. If that works flip them back one by one.
Thank you for the advice.
FireFox also has a tendency to leak memory (not to the level of Chrome, but…), going to about:memory will bring up a page where you can try to minimize memory usage and it will try to free up some memory.
The memory trick worked. Even though I had cleared everything (I thought) previously, it was using an absurd amount of memory.
““The prosecution didn’t have a figurative smoking gun. There was not a single moment throughout the presentation of that case where you could say ‘Yup, 100% I’m certain she did it’ or that she didn’t do it. There was too much gray area.”

What?
I’m going to assume she’s being sloppy in her phrasing.
I think when the defense says, “She did it”, you can safely assume she fucking did it.
The question wasn’t if she did it, the question was if she was insane at the time. But the Internet sleuths (and potential the jurors) watch too many crime shows and think they can swoop in and expose the real killer.
Other Kev, I wonder how many of the jurors watch “Law and Order” where the first prime suspect is NEVER the one who did it?
The question wasn’t if she did it, the question was if she was insane at the time.
For clarity, according to the jury instructions, the question was “Was she SO insane that she no longer knew the difference between right and wrong?” She never said that, and she never acted that way.
Nazi concentration camp commander: “But I heard a voice telling me the Jews were in league with the devil. I was just following orders.”
“And maybe I still believe that in a certain way. I think that this is a woman who was not mentally healthy. She was someone who was in the throes of a significant mental health crisis,” the juror said. “I really just felt like she was so deep in it that she couldn’t see her way out.”
You can believe you have no recourse but to kill your children while still knowing that killing your children is wrong. The latter is what matters in an insanity defense in MA.
Among the Canadians featured is a man who suffered a spinal injury and waited 15 hours to see a surgeon. According to materials provided by the filmmakers, his doctor later told him that surgery within an hour could have resulted in a full recovery. Three years later, he lives with chronic pain, can walk only a short distance without a walker and was subsequently offered Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) while seeking treatment for his pain and disability.

“Later on Tuesday, WBZ-TV’s Kristina Rex interviewed a fourth female juror who made a damning revelation to the journalist.
First, she revealed that the majority of the jury room was trying to pressure the brave holdout to vote not guilty from DAY ONE.
This means most of the room had already predetermined that Clancy was not guilty, a complete mockery of the jury system, which is supposed to examine all evidence carefully.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/09/fourth-clancy-juror-breaks-her-silence-explains-why/
Who knows?
The juror later elaborated on why she changed her vote. She felt there was no “smoking gun” presented by the prosecution during their presentation that proved Clancy was perfectly competent when she killed her little children.
JFC. You don’t have to be ‘perfectly competent’ to be guilty.
Note GP’s use of exclamation points in the transcription of jurors they don’t like.
The interview clip I saw was of a juror who said the prosecution’s opening statement didn’t show any compassion to the accused, and they had no character witnesses that she was a bad mother.
As to the first, JFC, talk about suicidal empathy. Where’s the compassion for the woman who admitted to strangling her three children to death? Seriously?
As to the second, the prosecution cannot introduce evidence of the accused’s prior acts or character, only evidence that they did what they are accused of.
Mind you, what she says is essentially that she was never going to vote to convict, before hearing any evidence.
They’ve got him now
However, if you ask Richard Painter, the former chief White House ethics lawyer under George W. Bush, he will tell you that this is definitely illegal. “A White House staffer is not your Fifth Avenue doorman,” Painter wrote on X. “No tipping, and no holiday gifts from a current boss or former employer. The salary is what it is. Full stop.” If you didn’t want to take him at his word, Painter linked to the specific statute that prohibits government employees from earning extra cash, which states that both the person paying and the person receiving the money can be penalized.
So, really, who’s to say if this is illegal or not? We probably won’t find out soon, but the statute of limitations for breaking this law is five years. Perhaps these gifts will be of interest to President AOC’s justice department come 2029.
That Christmas bonus to Natalie Harp was really payment for services rendered, if you know what they mean.
Some people really do want to destroy the United States.
I’d like it the break up into 50 individual States and then maybe form some sort of republic with a small and highly limited federal government for the purpose of free trade between the states, a standardized weights and measures, and common defense.
Great song choice!

Choices Women’s Center is a brown stucco building in a medical center. He shows off the room he calls the “telehealth suite.” It has colorful portraits of famous women on the wall like Rosa Parks, Princess Diana and Angela Merkel, plus a few comfy chairs.
Medication abortion is approved by the FDA for use before 11 weeks of pregnancy. When patients aren’t sure of the date of their last period, they can come into the office for an ultrasound, and then sit in the telehealth suite for a consult with the doctor.

Lies, damned lies, and NPR
For almost a decade, Kelsi Kiper has relied on the U.S. Postal Service to cast her ballots as a voter registered in Texas but stationed out of state with her husband, an active-duty service member.
This year, though, to make sure her voice is heard, she’s making a backup plan.
Kiper hopes she’ll be able to exercise her voting rights by mail for this year’s midterm general election. But she recently started considering spending around $2,000 to book flights and rental cars so she can vote in person.
“It’s not something that I think a lot of us in the military are prepared to spend because many military families operate on a single income,” Kiper said. “For me, I think that it’s important to prioritize the rights that our active-duty members are serving to preserve.”
What a steaming pile of melodramatic hogwash.
I mean…that wasn’t on the table…but you do you boo
No mail balloting for anyone, including service members.
Also, which side was mocking illegals and other non citizens who vote by saying it’s so few that it doesn’t really count or matter? Why would she waste her money to fly back for her single vote?

Oh, btw: apparently the SaraSpa holster qualification “class” is a mini-match. They were setting one up after the SCSA match last weekend it looked like one SCSA stage and at least one USPSA/GPA stage. No idea how/when they’re scheduled. Maybe the club website has information.
The website had some info, but the form to sign up led to a google doc form that was removed by Google for “violating policy” probably for being gun-related.
I got an email from Evite inviting me to my sister’s birthday celebration.
My sister is in Austin TX and her birthday is in February.
To be fair, I never use my actual birthdate when signing up for online commercial services.
My sister wouldn’t have contacted me like this.
She, her husband, and our siblings had a text exchange the morning of her birthday.
Totes legit.

Another take from a different woman on the jury who admits that she had her own reservations, defends the man who held to his convictions, and if you read between the lines you can see she was basically pushed herself into just voting the same way as the majority of females who seem to have dominated the discussion.
9 women versus 3 men. How the fuck did the prosecution drop the ball like that?
The women of Massachusetts are what they are. But can’t be forgotten that three men sat on that jury, and two of them were so weak that they went along with them.
It’s a microcosm of blue hellhole politics essentially.
Ive known four men from Mass.
One was a scrappy Boston guy that was alright.
One was a skeezy soft handed guy that you knew had kiddy porn on his computer and pretended to be a Christian so he could prey on the weak college age girls in the church.
The other was the second guys buddy who was lazy as fuck and a hard core elitist lefty who thought those of us in the west were savages.
The last was an undeveloped man child Bernie bro who spent his entire life smoking pot and being drunk. Now jobless in the Seattle area.
But the Trump administration has asked the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court to allow those new federal mail ballot requirements for the midterms.
Rulings from those courts may come as soon as this week. They could unleash a major upheaval to voting by mail, which was how about 1 in 3 voters cast ballots in the last two federal elections.
One in three ballots were cast from outside the voting precinct? Sounds like some serious voter roll scrutinization is in order.
Its too late. The strategy of delay wins again. The new mail rules won’t be allowed for this election.
Dena Dawson, the elections director for Oregon — a fully vote-by-mail state since 2000 — warned: “If technological or implementation failure prevents the delivery of mail ballots in this vote-by-mail state, Oregonians have no other means by which to cast their votes.”
Just make the numbers up, like you do every time.
How progressive of them. Why should anyone trust any vote there again? I won’t hold my breath for an explanation.
That’s not entirely correct. You can still vote in person at county elections offices. The precinct polls have been abolished since 2000.
As much as I’d like VBM to go away, that wouldn’t meaningfully change the election results here. The problem is the electorate, not the ballots.
