Fuggetibout Indigenous Peoples Day!
Even New York state lists it as Columbus Day. That’s the holiday I get off.
Indigenous People’s day is celebrated by starving your dog, drinking heavily, and then beating up your spouse if I am to go by what happens on the Rez.
And your kids rape the white boy on the bus.
Or shoot him while spotlighting deer.
And get away with it.
Both things that have happened a few miles east of me.
ThreeD, you live in MN?
Lack of culture and impulse control repeats itself across the miles.
I plan to vote for whoever isn’t James in November.
She’ll probably get enough illegal alien, graveyard, and xerox votes to win anyway.
Sorry, but refineries are legitimate military targets. You want Li’l Z and Putin to stop blowing up each other’s shit, you’re going to have to put together a peace deal.
..?
I have no idea what either side thinks they can accomplish at this point.
Hey, ‘Tish is a legitimate target for both Z and P!
Tater they have to grind all the men in their nations to pulp so the Muslims can move in and fill the void.
She will also get actual, real votes from legitimate voters. And probably enough of those to make the phoney ones irrelevant.
And getting herself back into the 24-hour news cycle with an assist from Kathy is just a fortunate happenstance. 🙄
“An energy ceasefire would require both nations to stop striking each other’s power and fuel infrastructure, according to Al Jazeera. Trump has grown concerned about damage to Russia’s oil-refining capacity, which he has blamed for higher global diesel prices ahead of the November midterm elections, according to the South China Morning Post.”
Who can you trust if not Al Jazeera and the South China Morning Post?
“which he has blamed for higher global diesel prices”
Couldn’t be that old Supply and Demand nonsense, could it?
Destroying refineries impacts the supply side of that equation kind of heavily. To be fair Zelensky isn’t as effective at that as the Democrats have been.
There are instances where Al Jazeera reports more accurate news than our fine folks at CNN et al.
Reading goat entrails is more accurate than CNN.
Shades of Network and the Howard Beale show.
Go home, Chuck Grassley, spend some time with he people to pretend to represent
Correct as necessary
the lobbiests come to spend time with him in DC.
Chuck Grassley, the one man who makes Fourscore feel young.
So ethanol is a better preservative than honey?
(((Jarflax:
Honey has been used in mummification.
Ethanol vs honey?
I dunno, more old drunks than honey abusers?
It’s funny he’s old as dirt but is mentally ahead of several of his decades-younger colleagues.
Senator from Iowa, not Senator in Iowa.
So where have all the pacifist groups been while all the “Be All You Can Be/The Few, The Proud, The Marines” etc. ads have been blasted over the airwaves all these years? Who do they think has been paying for those?
That would be the Department of the Navy.
Here’s hoping that when the Repubs lose the midterms, Trump goes into full DGAF mode and tells these judges to fuck off.
We’re overdue for a serious Constitutional crisis. Let’s do it!
Well technically according to the constitution the branches are co-equal, so the judiciary has no more authority to order the executive around than the executive does to order the judiciary around.
In this particular case – were the funds appropriated by Congress for this purpose?
They are co-equal, so Trump (and every other pres.) gets to decide who is on the bench, and they get to decide if he has broken any given law.
But you knew this.
“A Cornell University professor is standing firmly behind the woman at the center of the school’s explosive gang rape allegations … declaring sexual assault is NEVER the victim’s fault.
Kate Manne, a feminist philosopher and professor at Cornell, joined Alex Cooper on Sunday’s special episode of “Call Her Daddy” … taking aim at victim blaming and the treatment of women who come forward with sexual assault allegations.”
https://www.tmz.com/2026/10/11/cornell-professor-teaser/
That’s rich. I’ll send Megyn Kelly a bottle of Jameson’s.
This wasn’t sexual assault, and there was no victim.
The seven men, however, are currently being victimized by Letitia James, academia, and the press, among others.
In other news … water is wet.
Gotta admire the way they talk past the sale. It just goes without saying that she actually was gang raped. Arguing with them about victim blaming, blah blah just assumes that she was a victim.
Great minds think alike.
Key word, “allegations”. Remember when due process was a thing?
When even facts don’t matter, what chance do “allegations” stand?
I am here to file a complaint on behalf on Liawatha, also called Fauxahantis, for your misappropriation of this indigenous people’s day, you Dago lovers!
Happy day to my paisan!
So, I saw yet another report of blatant money-laundering by ActBlue – the usual, hundreds of small donations, supposedly from somebody who never made them.
And I see antifa has shown up at anti-ICE riots in Massachusetts.
So I have to wonder – why is it that nothing is ever done about leftist criminality. I get it when the Dems are running the DOJ, but even now?
The criminal cases are being done. It just takes the government at least 2 years to get these to court, is what I am hearing. And when it finally goes to court, nobody reports it.
I’m sick and tired of hearing about the good things that they are going to do. I don’t believe any of it any more, because those good things never seem to actually happen.
Expecting Trump, while fighting a machine that absolutely wants to protect its gains, including so many in his own party, to reverse 70 plus years of marxist globalist infiltration and corruption of all our important institutions, and to do so in a couple of years, shows some kind of lack of understanding of reality.
Unfortunately juries are drawn from the location where the crime was committed. You can’t convict them in the deep blue cities. The best you can hope for is one sane person to prevent an acquittal.
There’s enough of these from all over you aren’t confined to midtown Manhattan for your venue.
You would need to petition to move the jury. Not the easiest thing to do when the judges are largely on the side of Antifa.
ZWAK:
If we’re at that point, that doesn’t bode well for the future.
My point was, you don’t need to change the venue. You need to use someone who was used for money laundering who doesn’t live in a Blue jurisdiction.
I get it when the Dems are running the DOJ, but even now?
Uniparty baby!
I get it when the Dems are running the DOJ
Hahahaha – you mean the thin layer at the top that are appointees?
Who do you think the rank and file are?
97% DC vote.
anti-ICE riots in Massachusetts
The what now? What’d I miss?
Second week begins and we’ll see if I’ll be moved out of The Vault today or later this week. We’re getting ‘inspectors’ from Cox higher ups to take a look sometime soon, so there’s that curve. I presume I’ll watch a vid or two on their auditing process and then will likely shadow someone to see how it actually works, but I’m just speculatin’.
Feels goofy to remember, but I’m trying to be more assertive, less passive and reactionary in my professional and personal life. We’re gonna have to get really familiar with their bulk scanners and how they work, which I’m really not thrilled about, but who knows how they’ll pass along the training. I’m really glad this job doesn’t have any phone calls and isn’t customer facing. Solid victory.
Speaking of, I hope y’all are well on your way to yours. Big Things!
Good luck EV.
Good. I think we should close the doors to any immigration for, say, 5 years. For starters, until we get the illegals flushed out, the fraudulent “legal” immigrants run down and deported, and the downstream problems they have all created sorted out.
Considering that bogus asylum seeking is classed as legal immigration – yes!
I am here cause in my old country I am prosecuted for…. Well, I am prosecuted cause it is a shithole and I am against shitholes… And now that I am here, give me welfare and let me go out on the streets to wave the flag of that old country that I plan to go visit annually with that welfare handout. Cause that country is my country!!!
“New York blew off 16,000 Trump administration ICE orders to detain suspected heinous illegal migrants accused or convicted in more than 50,000 criminal charges, disturbing new data show.
The Department of Homeland Security said the municipalities across the Dem-driven state have refused to comply with its detainment requests 16,070 times since President Trump re-entered office fewer than two years ago — refusing to hand over criminal migrants suspected or convicted of everything from murder to kidnapping and sexual assault.”

“New York radical congressional wannabe Darializa Avila Chevalier just said the quiet part out loud: It doesn’t “matter” to her that illegal immigrant and alleged gangbanger Oscar Belgal has a violent criminal record.”

What? Why would a virtue signaling, trust fund baby, angry life loser care about criminals let loose amongst the serfs for?
The bi supporters of criminal illegals all live where these illegals are not busy terrorizing the locals. We should move these criminals into their neighborhoods and set them loose, and see how that changes quickly. Just like when the illegals were brought to Martha’s Vineyard…
That’s how you stick it to Trump …
Trump proposed the wrong wall. Not along the border, around NYC.
That was a good movie.
Strip their federal funding.
DOT
Medicaid
Medicare
SNAP
All of it.
From the dead thread
“You only get to choose between things getting bad slowly under the Rs or getting bad at the speed of light under the Ds.”
I am actually wondering: is it really better for things to get bad slowly? Would it not be better to crash and get it over with, maybe there is a small chance of recovery. I have a feeling that the longer you delay the crash the worse it will be.
The Federal government is collapsing. That is not going to change.
Some States might be salvageable.
Or, to put it another way, I’m a bit of a collapsatarian.
well so am I but the question is slow or fast.
Me too DEG.
well so am I but the question is slow or fast.
Honestly? I kinda don’t care. It’s happening regardless.
I’ve a believer!
Slowly at first, then all of a sudden.

The problem with conservatives is they are conserving decay at this point. Restoring the republic is a pipe dream.

This makes me happy.
No one is above the law.
lol. lmao even.
Blah blah blah.
Call me when she’s deported.
Or even charged and convicted of something.
^This
Like they’re going to find any evidence of her immigration fraud there.
More eyewash for the rubes.
Decades late.
On Halloween my ex would dress up as Annie Frank.
The rest of the year we kept the costume in the attic.
Did she invite her cousin over ?

What is the Official Glibertarian opinion on Jackson v. Indiana, 406 U.S. 715 (1972) ?
Incompetence to stand trial is an incompetent conceit. We can credit progressives with yet another retarded idea.
Guilty but mentally ill would be a better standard. Whatever happened to facilities capable of handling the criminally insane?
They’re still around. The drawback is that they have a record of putting these people back in public long before a prison sentence would have run.
It isn’t a resource if it is permanently off limits to development. And all of this so someone with a LOT of money could get a “charitable contribution” deduction from their income tax. And who is complaining – the people screaming the rich don’t pay enough income tax! I’m just one person, I can’t produce enough hate for everyone involved in this story.
Can I use that reduced IRS valuation for my property tax assessment?
Now you owe twice as much, serf!
The valuation wasn’t on property per se, but on conservation easements. All to support a charitable contribution write-off on federal income tax. You know – one of those sneaky loopholes for the wealthy!
People (farmers are not actually people) lock up land in these easements to get the tax break and then sell off portions of their property with the easements on them for full price. Happens plenty.
Who buys property for full price that they can’t build on?
I mean, adding a perpetual restriction on how the land can be used would seem to lower its value.
Conservation easements and land trusts/tribal trust should be illegal.
“The owner of an Ohio animal hospital was charged for obtaining thousands of pills he allegedly prescribed for a dead dog.
Dr Kris Taylor, 62, and his accomplice Camille Angulat-Nieto, 29, were busted for allegedly prescribing oxycodone and alprazolam for a dog named Punkin – who had already passed away.
Taylor is the owner of and veterinarian at Landings Animal Hospital in a Cleveland suburb. His relationship to Angulat-Nieto and her job remain unclear.”

🇫🇷 French presidential candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon: “A world is coming to an end… the one that for 40 years has laid down the law — neoliberalism — spreading across the entire planet after running its research laboratory under the Pinochet dictatorship”
https://x.com/upholdreality/status/2109454416650567960
I have to say more and more I see dialogue simply impossible with the left. Neoliberalism is when government spend more than 50% of GDP have debt above 100% and regulate everything under the sun.
You can’t get the New Soviet Man under neo-liberalism. Of course you can’t get it under Bolshevik totalitarianism either, but why let that slow your roll?
French Presidential Candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon:
They tell us, “We must reassure the markets.” Reassure the markets? What are their names? Where do they live? Let me go and reassure them!
What market? What are you talking about? There is no market. There are hedge funds, financial companies and insurance companies.
This is artform midwittery.
He is a stupid man appealing to even dumber voters. Yay democracy!
Yes, JI, we need a
dictatorship king despot pick your hardman poisonJI in charge!So you’re saying he’s a shoo-in, JI?
I just rewatched that episode of South Park.
Neo-liberalism is a return to the economic model of the 1920’s, pre depression. Idiots like Melenchon have zero idea of how economics work, and why France is falling into receivership.
Sacrebleu, on what planet was the Pinochet regime the blueprint for neoliberalism?
“A whizzing Minnesota college professor allegedly spilled his own urine on a student’s backpack in what authorities believe to be the latest in a disturbing series of the educator’s pee-soaked incidents, according to new court docs.
he alleged piss plot was uncovered after a Macalester College student said biology professor Paul Fischer, 55, had heeded nature’s call on Dec. 5, 2025, after she briefly stepped away while working at the school’s science center – only to return to find her backpack moist with a pungent yellow liquid, CBS Minnesota reported….
The serial sprinkler was charged with first-degree property damage and faces five years in prison and a maximum fine of $10,000. He is expected in court in early November.”

No shit.
The little brown youths just want to learn!
The Pali flags and keffiyehs – the current Antifa uniform – kind of give it away.
Those are just the fashion of the day.
Bring back the guiatene.
The antifa types keep saying they want it back.
I never would have guessed. I said it before, I’ll say it again. Nothing cleanses like twin .30’s.

“I remember being excited because I thought [] and [] wanting to have a threesome meant that they were gay, which would have meant that they were part of my community as I am bisexual. I believe I said something like “I didn’t know you all were fruity”. [] responded by saying he was homo-curious. [] Just kind of laughed and didn’t say anything else.”
wanting to have a threesome meant that they were gay – correct.
You’re not a real man if you’ve never cut your mouth to shreds trying to do that.
Great news! Deutsche Bahn will build an additional rail line for the 151 kilometers from Hannover to Hamburg. It will be finished by…wait for it…2050!
https://x.com/AndrewHammel1/status/2109597425312948444
10 kilometers per year is pretty good.
