Tuesday Morning Links

The Bills beat the Rams in a game where there seemed to be no defense. The Indians topped the Rays in game 1 of the ALCS. And the Brewers overcame some defensive sloppiness to power by the Dodgers and take a 2-0 series lead in the NLCS. The Flyers are off to the franchise’s worst start ever. And UCL games are back on tap today and tomorrow in Europe. And that’s all I’ve got for sports.

This is absolute nonsense. But pretty typical narrative-building, if I’m being honest. If the French are buying this, they’re even dumber than I thought.

Good. Get her out of here. I don’t even care if they have to manufacture evidence. Then repeat the process for every shithead commie in the country. Even the ones who were born here. I don’t care anymore, I want them gone.

Has this guy got a turd in his pocket? Oh, wait. He’s got the US military. Because without it, I doubt he’d be flapping his gums like this.

Did it ever really go away? We’d like to think so, but I don’t think it ever did.

I’ll believe it when I see it. And even as bad as things have gotten, I don’t expect to see it.

Was the password “GUEST?” I wouldn’t be surprised. Also, why are they networked at a level where that many stores could be impacted at once? Sounds pretty stupid to me.

Really tackling the important stuff. I’m curious how this judge is even in a position to manage the maintenance schedule at federal property. What’s next, gonna tell them during which hours they’re allowed to cut the grass?

I find this hard to believe. But I wish Labour would think it’s real and call a snap election.

This is good stuff. Glad they weren’t stolen Jackson Pollocks. Then the recovery would have made me sad.

Well of course it’s impossible. Because the government can’t fix anything and there’s no way this guy will let the free market do what it does.

Here we go. Simply beautiful. And this one is as well. Enjoy them both.

And enjoy this lovely Tuesday, dear friends.

    “Did it ever really go away?”

    No, it didn’t.

  2. DEG

    Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington, D.C., home was the target of a raid early Monday morning by ICE’s investigations unit.

    Sources say the investigation centers on Omar’s immigration paperwork. The documents in question date back to Omar’s childhood, involving paperwork completed by her late father when she was a child.

    Blah blah blah. More talk. Deport her or shut the fuck up.

    • sloopyinca

      “Sources say” is usually bullshit. But whatever it was, it was signed off on by a judge. And all four judges there were appointed by a Dem president.

      • DEG

        I’m standing by what I said.

        Blah blah blah. Call me when she’s deported, until then it’s all talk.

      • EvilSheldon

        Getting a home search warrant for a media-darling Dem politician, from a Dem judge, is interesting.

        I also expect nothing to come of it, because if the Trump administration has taught me anything it is to ruthlessly manage my expectations.

        That said…you normally don’t place a bet that big without first dealing yourself a pretty good hand.

        So you are not looking for legal proceedings to be followed, you just want 70 plus years of marxist globalism to be rolled back overnight?

        I don’t know whom you are replying to, but if you’re replying to me, my response is simply, “This is a retarded interpretation of what I wrote, even by your standards.”

      What DEG said.

      The rumor I heard was that Omar was automatically naturalized when her parents were because she was (supposedly) 17. But her real age is a year older, meaning, I suppose, she was never naturalized.

      Why they couldn’t get her actual birth documents from Somalia, I have no idea. Possibly that shithole doesn’t keep such records at all, or they were destroyed in an outbreak of shitholism.

      • slumbrew

        “Accidentally” destroyed in Somalia.

      • Common Tater

        Even if they could produce records, would you believe them? Fraud is their national pastime.

      • The Last American Hero

        The birthdate is clearly stated on her Somali Burth Cetfiiate.

      • slumbrew

        *golf clap for LAH*

  3. Common Tater

    ““The question goes to whether or not I have been lied to” about plans for the golf course and whether the government was going to tell her courtroom about them, she said.

    ”I am beyond disappointed in the government right now,” she added. “I am… I wanted you all to be better than you have been.””

    She sounds like a hysterical retard.

    • Ted S.

      Who the fuck even has standing to be in court here?

      • sloopyinca

        I don’t remember seeing a plaintiff in any of the stories I read. Maybe someone can find out who it was, because I’m genuinely curious.

      • juris imprudent

        Plaintiffs: DC Preservation League, Dave Roberts and Alex Dickson (per the linked pdf).

      • sloopyinca

        Dave Roberts?

        He better start worrying more about Ohtani not being able to make contact and less about the goings-on at a DC golf course.

    • Rat on a train

      The next D president can just undo the renovations like some have proposed for the ballroom.

      • R C Dean

        A few search-and-replaces on the current “Trump can’t do nuthin’” lawsuits should tie those up for years.

      • EvilSheldon

        LOL. Your faith in the GOP is touching.

        The Republicans are going to be far too busy practicing their articulate, statesmanlike concession speeches in the mirror, to even consider using the judicial strap-on the way it’s been used on them.

    • R C Dean

      “I want you all to be better”? AYFKM? Was she in a federal courtroom or a kindergarten classroom?

      • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

        It is DC…

    • juris imprudent

      First, Plaintiffs are likely to succeed in showing that Defendants are segmenting their implementation of the Washington National plan and thereby circumventing their NEPA 2 Case 1:26-cv-00477-ACR Document 76 Filed 10/11/26 Page 3 of 4 obligations. 42 U.S.C. § 4332. Plaintiffs also are likely to succeed in showing that Plaintiffs have standing and that Defendants’ challenged actions are final agency action reviewable under the APA. 5 U.S.C. § 702. Second, Plaintiffs are likely to suffer irreparable harm without temporary relief. Without relief, Defendants will further alter permanently the land, landscape, trees, setting, and other elements of the human environment in both visible and unseeable ways. Third, the balance of equities and public interest both favor issuing a TRO.

      So they don’t have standing as yet, but honest your honor, we will show that we do! I hope the irreparable harm they suffer without this order includes loss of life.

      • R C Dean

        “Defendants are segmenting their implementation of the Washington National plan”

        So now its illegal for construction projects to have phases?

        And invisible alterations of the “human environment” can be remedied? How?

      • slumbrew

        “…alter permanently the land, landscape, trees, setting, and other elements of the human environment…”

        How?

      • sloopyinca

        Have any of these plaintiffs ever played a round of golf there? Were they in a money match and their opponent hit into the construction area and got free relief, costing them the hole and match?

        If the answer to both questions isn’t “yes,” then I don’t see how they were adversely impacted by what’s going on.

      • juris imprudent

        Apparently all legal language is really magical words – like Congress making the incantation about “in or effecting Interstate Commerce”.

    I find this hard to believe. But I wish Labour would think it’s real and call a snap election.

    Meanwhile…

    One benefit, created to help those with disabilities be more mobile, allows people to give up part of their welfare cash handout in return for a new car lease every three years. It now accounts for around one in every seven new car sales in the U.K. Among those who got new cars last year: 40 people whose primary medical condition was tennis elbow, 50 with wheat intolerance and 320 with dyslexia, according to government figures.

    • sloopyinca

      Dammit. I saw that last night and forgot about it this morning when I was putting the links together. It’s jaw-droppingly retarded.

      • (((Jarflax

        It is vital to buy cars for the disabled to ensure that everyone has access to the roads they then fine you for using to reduce traffic.

    • juris imprudent

      I am horrified that those enlightened bureaucrats could possibly think private/independent transportation is any kind of a solution!

    • EvilSheldon

      Some seven million people—more than 10% of the population—now claim at least one or more sickness or disability benefits. The numbers are growing fastest among working-age people who should be powering the country’s economy, surging more than 60% in the past six years to 4.7 million from 2.9 million in 2019.

      I wonder what the percentage and distribution is here in the ‘States? (ETA: ChatGPT estimates between 4-6%, but that doesn’t include Social Security or Medicare, so the actual percentage is likely much higher.)

      To draw a related distinction – the riots in France are not at core about schools, or even about military-age Islamic males doing what they do best. They are, at core, about the French economy being in slow-motion collapse. As I’ve said before, politics is downstream of culture, and culture is downstream of economics.

    “The median one-bedroom now costs $4,400 in the city,”

    Yikes!

    • UnCivilServant

      Whenever I see reports of this type, I start to ask basic questions – who is actually renting such places? What do they do? How many people in a unit? What is the household income? Is someone other than the resident footing the bill? Wouldn’t it be cheaper for the employers to relocate someplace where their employees don’t need as extortionate rates to make ends meet?

      • slumbrew

        It’s wild.

        I might get a 10% salary bump moving there from the Boston area, but rents are as much as 20% higher than our already-high rents.

      • rhywun

        A combination of low supply, high demand, and high regs that worsen the balance. And the natives are very firmly against building anything to satisfy the demand.

      • The Artist Formerly Known as Lackadaisical

        @Slum, assuming other costs are similar(no idea if true), you might actually end up netting more, right?

        If your rent is <25% of income, expenses go up 5%, income up 10%…. sounds (potentially) worth it, depending on all the other factors.

      • slumbrew

        Cost of living is higher across the board I believe. Taxes are almost double as well.

    • rhywun

      Obviously they need to rent-control harder.

      “This is really about keeping people from being evicted from housing or keeping some very vulnerable people housed.”

      *face-palm*

      Where “vulnerable” means whoever complains the loudest.

    • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

      SF is now a suburb of Silicon Alley, so I am not too surprised that the condo/apt. buildings downtown go for that. And Renting an actual house in the place is going to be pricy.

But then we’re also wiring up all our critical power and water infrastructure, so why not the grocery store too, its not like people need to eat. *rolls eyes*

    Day, who was born male but identifies as a woman, told her wife she didn’t want “bullies” to get away with making fun of her gender, before following Young across the street and starting up the fight again, prosecutors said.”

    Trump’s second term offers revealing examples of how this works. His immigration agenda has faced the resistance one expects from Democrats, including mass protests and federal lawsuits. Yet the greatest obstacles to his efforts to restrict immigration have not come from efforts to protect migrants themselves. Instead, they have come from federal elected officials in both parties seeking to protect the industries, labor markets, and government programs that have grown dependent on their presence.

    Not a bad explanation really, just infuriating in its own way.

    • rhywun

      Well, yeah – industry having grown dependent on cheap foreign labor isn’t exactly a surprise. Ask some of the millions of natives collecting unemployment how that plays out.

      • juris imprudent

        Yeah, considering the labor force participation rate, I don’t buy for one minute that we don’t have bodies available to do the work.

    • EvilSheldon

      A very good explanation.

      I’ve said for quite some time now, that really dealing with our immigration problem is going to make the Chamber of Commerce Republican types very unhappy. Trump (and MAGA in general) ain’t the right tool for that particular job – they’re too concerned with their image.

    Blair allegedly removed her leg from stretcher straps and repeatedly kicked a Port Authority Police Officer in the face, neck and chest as she was being hauled away in an ambulance from JFK Airport Terminal 4 on Sunday night, according to her criminal complaint.

    She then kicked a registered nurse at Jamaica Hospital in the chest while she was transporting Blair for more medical treatment, the complaint alleged….
