St Louis thumped Winnipeg to even up the series. Carolina and Washington put a stranglehold on theirs. And LA missed too many opportunities and are now at 2-2 with Edmonton. The NFL draft was a hilarious exercise in humility and hysterics by Mel Kiper and some others. Still, I’m a bit ticked nobody took the Remington Trophy winner even though he blew his achilles out. Would have liked to have seen 15 Buckeyes go in a single draft. Across the pond, Crystal Palace and Man City will face off in the FA Cup Final. And Liverpool completely dismantled Spuds at Anfield to lock up the league for the 20th time. And that’s it for sports.
I hope these people win. And I hope it’s just the start in dismantling some absurd “protections” government officials enjoy.
Cut them all. First off, they’re not the province of the DOJ. Secondly, they’re all a bit of a scam.

Monica Isham says she will not ‘allow’ ICE to send illegal immigrants to a ‘concentration camp’
I wonder if the world outside the US appreciates being referred to as a “concentration camp”.
These people are just spoiled loser drama kids acting out so they can think they are cool. Instead they are just the worst people in a society.
Well, we can’t call them shit-holes anymore either. Now what are we gonna do?
It’s that whole “narrative” thing again. Craft a story and bend reality to fit. Unfortunately a lot of people keep falling for it.
Calling them shithole countries is only bad when OMB does it.
I do too — though it wasn’t the raid in Georgia that I always remember and that never ceases to make my blood boil (that one was a no knock, middle of the night — toss a flash bang into a crib one that burned the kid… and I don’t think anyone suffered any consequences from that one either…).
Love the government lawyer argument: “Courts shouldn’t second guess honest mistakes by law enforcement…” Bitch please… that’s one of the fundamental purposes of the courts. And the rest of us outside the King’s Men are held liable for mistakes, honest or not. And that no restitution was made even for property damage your “honest mistake” caused directly (I assume by busting through the doors like you’re hunting Osama Bin Laden) speaks volumes for how you take consequences. Admittedly harder to make the family whole for the mental issues they unsurprisingly have by being burst in on by an armed gang and all.
Thanks again BLM for derailing a healthy and honest conversation on proper law enforcement versus over-militarized “Blue Line!” “Us versus Them!” attitudes you fostered for years now.
Morning all. grumble bitch moan complain….
“Love the government lawyer argument: “Courts shouldn’t second guess honest mistakes by law enforcement…” Bitch please… ”
We want immunity so we can terrorize the people we hate without impunity.
It’s pretty telling when the cops new procedure seems to be disabling or destroying every security camera someone has in/on their home right out of the gate. It’s almost as if they know their protections could be coming to an end and they don’t want there to be any evidence of what they’re doing made public unless they have control of it.
Article doesn’t say what was so damn important they had to do a no-knock early morning raid.
Nope… and that’s part of the serious discussion I think we should have. Even “drug crimes” in my opinion should be handled with warranted, knock-first search and arrest. “Gives them time to destroy evidence”? I honestly don’t give a shit, guys. I think your wannabe-Fallujah tactics are worse for society than Johnny Dealer Bro not being locked up for an extra 3 months because he was able to flush a dime bag. Do the damned work first, get your evidence straight beyond the word of a compromised CI and be civil.
Knockless / no-warrant raids should only be for dire circumstances where life is immediately threatened. (And no — “Did you hear a woman scream?” bullshit from the porch should trigger hard penalties if you’re caught lying.. so none of that crap, cops.)
Believe it or not — I’m probably one of the more law and order types around these parts… and I’ve honestly had pretty reasonable reactions with cops my whole life… but that by no means I believe they should have impunity or that they’ve been doing their job right in many cases.
With the FBI at least, the pre-dawn dynamic entry raids are an initial part of the interrogation process. They help to disorient and psychologically unsettle the subject before the questioning starts in earnest.
*clears throat*
We’re trying to do something about it here.
If that passes, could FBI agents be sued in state court? I’m guessing not, but I haven’t read the details.
To be clear, I’d love to see it pass. Not just for LEOs, it’d be great to see prosecutors stripped of protection for professional misconduct.
Grummun:
The fact Yost is so strongly against it is pretty damned telling to me as well.
Look, losertarian ACAB knuckleheads, every second the police spend on making sure they’re blasting open the correct front door is another second the bad guys can use to argle blargle herpaderp!
The phrase “honest mistake” is doing a lot of work, here.
Honest mistake? No. Incompetence, pure and simple. Incompetence back-stopped by the knowledge that they could fuck up and not suffer any consequences. Also, callous indifference to the consequences of incompetence, again back-stopped by…
It would have been an honest mistake (on the part of the LEOs) if they were handed a warrant with the wrong address, but the judge/prosecutor/court clerk/whoever should then be liable.
Trying to come up with an example of an honest mistake the LEOs could have made in this case and not coming up with anything.
It was Google maps fault!!!

I keep wondering when Trump will realize he’s wasting his time with the Ukraine war. Just pull the plug on all funding and weapons transfers and let them figure it out.

The Cody Gakpo goal made me smile the most. But the Macca goal was the play of the game.
And Salah got one as well, although I think signing him to two more years will prove to be money poorly spent. He’s clearly been a step slow the second half of this season.
Either way, it was fun to see.
That surprised me. I was expecting him to be playing in Saudi Arabia or China by now.

We really have a Judge problem that will have to get sorted out. Roberts and Supreme Court seem unwilling to address it so it will be up to Congress.
… and Congress won’t address it, so…
They worked the hardest to give us these spoiled drama kids that were indoctrinated to be activists and think what they want supersedes all other things. Why would they now fight this shit?
State courts and judicial behavoir therein are not SCotUS’s turf.
The SC doesnt really want to do their job or have serious responsibility….John Fucking Roberts is a Coward. Mr. Penaltax Shitbird.
Congress doesnt want to do their job or have serious responsibility.
And here we are. They are going to have to do something, like it or not.
Congress is useless as usual. Last week my neocon hockey teammate posted an article by David Brooks, in which he lamented that the Republicans used to be the party of “ideas” and now they’re just crude and rude.
That’s exactly the problem. Republicans just love to talk about ideas, and tut-tut when the Dems do something crazy. Then when the R’s are in power they do absolutely nothing, just as we’re seeing with Congress. It’s also why they hate Trump so much. He’s ruining their brand by actually doing things.
Yeah — but that isn’t the disturbing part that I saw reported. Supposedly a dozen active military were providing “security” for the club. Doesn’t say if they were CO National Guard (with their governor, I wouldn’t be surprised) or Federal… but that’s definitely something that needs to be rooted out. (Can you say “infiltration” boys and girls? I knew you could….)
Mexican gang members enlisting in the Army and Marines for combat MOS training has been going on for decades.
Yeah — that was my first thought too. But then with the PPP Admin opening the floodgates for the gangs to increase domestic footprint combined with recruitment / retaining policies designed to drive out the Southern White Boys that were the traditional backbone of the military… I have to assume it is way out of hand after the last 4 years and we’ve got more widespread / organized operations within the units. Hence my concern.

Well obviously I didn’t read it. Ok, so that makes it better.
I checked recently and must have had a brain fart because Houston does connect to NoLa. My mistake was trying to figure out how to take the train to Gulfport directly and it was impossible. But it looks like that might change, which means I might actually take the train to our place in coastal Mississippi rather than drive, so long as I can make the connection in New Orleans short enough.

No one loves the illegals. The people pushing open borders simply hate western culture, that is all. They dont like it that a large contingent of westerners say “You dont own me”.
Look at everything the left does through that lens and it all makes sense.
Like I said up top, the illegals make a nice sob story, for now. The left just loves to use people to get their way, and as soon as they’re no longer useful, kick them to the curb.

It’s amazing how that question is avoided in every story. Surely someone has figured out if Noem was targeted specifically by now.
And her SS protection should all be fired pronto.
Boy no shit. That is the definition of incompetence.
No kidding. Somebody who can steal her purse can certainly put a knife or a bullet into her. Supposedly they were seated at the bar, which would ordinarily mean they were facing away from her. Shouldn’t they be at the next table?

““Well look, right now, President Trump is violating the rule of the law in every way,” Schumer responded. “And we’re fighting him every single day in every way.

Reasonable accommodation
Ava Tharpe is a teenage girl who suffers from serious disabilities caused by a rare form of epilepsy. She needs assistance with everyday tasks like walking and using the toilet. And she has so many seizures on average during the morning, that her public school in Kentucky arranged her schedule to be in the afternoon only, including a teacher giving her instruction at home in the early evening. But when her family moved to Minnesota for her father’s job, Tharpe’s new school in the Twin Cities refused to accommodate her late-day schedule. As a result, her school-time hours were reduced to 65% of what her peers received.
Tharpe and her parents sued the Osseo Area School System, claiming that it failed to live up to the requirements specified under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act, and the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act. Those three federal laws mandate, in part, that schools receiving federal funds must provide reasonable accommodations for kids with disabilities.
A state administrative law judge sided with Tharpe’s parents, finding that the school district’s reasons for denying her a full day of instruction were “not credible.”
Sure, why not? It’s not as if the other kids deserve an education.
That is our school district!
I’m amazed they had any troubles. The number of “aides” who attend kids with disabilities in schools are pretty impressive. At least from what I’ve seen with the Altar Kids.
Wonder if they couldn’t talk any of those teachers – who have a calling – to teach after hours?
Probably not allowed under the union work rules.
Ultimately, Tharpe’s parents sued in federal court to secure her rights to a full school day of learning, and the school district provided her with comprehensive schooling. Her parents also asked for compensatory damages that are not available under the IDEA — but are available under the other the other two disability-rights laws.
Fuck these people. The world cannot be made to revolve around your broken child.
It’s not their fault their daughter has epilepsy.
No, it’s not. It’s terrible that they have to deal with it. Which has no bearing on whether they should be able to use threats of violence from the state to make the organization of schooling at whatever school they end up at revolve around their problem.
Federal funds come with strings attached.
Yes they do. Which, once again, was not the ‘argument’ you made with the appeal to emotion in response to Brooks.
Does the ADA only apply to entities that accept federal funding? I had the impression it applied everywhere. Why else would a building owner be forced to retrofit for ADA compliance?
Not an appeal to emotion. The parents aren’t making up some special snowflake nonsense that she’s a daisy so the school has to water her every morning. Epilepsy is real just like being blind, or in a wheelchair, or countless other conditions the schools are required by law to accommodate. Special needs are a huge reason why the average cost per pupil is so high.
Not an appeal to emotion.
I disagree, but will defer to the person who made it for their state of mind.
required by law to accommodate.
And that’s the problem I think people are objecting to (as grummum says, I don’t think it’s tied to federal funding, but I’m not sure – many things are at least at the lip-service level). They most definitely are demanding that their daughter be accommodated by altering how the school operates for their benefit and not only demanding that the school do so, but also demanding ‘compensatory’ damages because they didn’t do what they wanted. So I will object to the law and to the parents willingness to threaten force to get what they wanted. Lots of things are legally correct, but not ethically or morally. One may even say that about the school being unwilling to accommodate their daughter – though we don’t know how much they did since the point of the story is an appeal to emotion.
The magic language is “reasonable” accommodation. Now, whether the requested accommodations place an unreasonable burden on the school (and other students), I couldn’t say. It’s possible.
“Will it ever be possible to sue anyone for damaging the climate? Twenty years after this question was first posed, we argue that the scientific case for climate liability is closed. Here we detail the scientific and legal implications of an ‘end-to-end’ attribution that links fossil fuel producers to specific damages from warming. Using scope 1 and 3 emissions data from major fossil fuel companies, peer-reviewed attribution methods and advances in empirical climate economics, we illustrate the trillions in economic losses attributable to the extreme heat caused by emissions from individual companies. Emissions linked to Chevron, the highest-emitting investor-owned company in our data, for example, very likely caused between US $791 billion and $3.6 trillion in heat-related losses over the period 1991–2020, disproportionately harming the tropical regions least culpable for warming. More broadly, we outline a transparent, reproducible and flexible framework that formalizes how end-to-end attribution could inform litigation by assessing whose emissions are responsible and for which harms. Drawing quantitative linkages between individual emitters and particularized harms is now feasible, making science no longer an obstacle to the justiciability of climate liability claims.”

SCIENCE!!!!!
“The study’s conclusion is based on what’s called “attribution science,” which was developed by a group of climate activists specifically to help advance litigation against oil companies. One of the leading organizations driving this approach is the World Weather Attribution (WWA) initiative. In an article about the field, its co-founder, climatologist Friederike Otto told Politico in 2019, “Unlike every other branch of climate science or science in general, event attribution was actually originally suggested with the courts in mind.””

“Who ‘does science’ is a hugely important issue, so if climate change is worked on exclusively by white men, it means that the questions asked are those that are relevant to white men. But people most affected by climate change are not white men, so if all these other people are effectively excluded from the scientific process, the problems we have to face in climate change will not be properly addressed and you will not find solutions for how to best transform a society.”

Wanton destruction
Donald Trump spent his first 100 days back in the Oval Office driving an economy that the world envied to the brink of crisis, risking America’s reputation as a financial safe haven and fostering fear among voters who’ve lost confidence in his leadership.
Americans were desperate for relief from high grocery prices and bought into Trump’s promise to make America affordable again in November 2024, partly out of nostalgia for the pre-pandemic economy of his first term.
But the president deliberately and singlehandedly adopted policies that are almost certain to spike prices even more; that could lead to shortages; and that have CEOs and small businesses dealing with chaos and the possibility of a recession.
Trump is attempting the most fundamental overhaul of the US and global economies in generations, adamant that he can recreate a mythical late 19th-century golden age using “beautiful” tariffs to exert US economic might to crush trade rivals.
Hanging is too good for him.

And here I wasted my precious age 4 to 7 ding nothing.
Most people don’t actually know the lengths parents will go to try to raise an academic superstar. In this post, I will detail the life of the average thoroughbred in STEM PhD programs at a top university. The thoroughbred lives a difficult life full of enormous amounts of pressure. The thoroughbred’s parents have oriented the next 18 years of their family life to evolve around the academic success of their children. The thoroughbred’s parents don’t simply move houses within their country so their kids can go to the best school in the district; they do a nationwide search to decide where to raise their children based on the schools in that area.
The thoroughbred’s parents tell their kids that getting straight A’s in school isn’t enough because the kids in their class are “normal,” and to cut it, they are going to have to strive far beyond what’s taught in a classroom. They usually have various tutors starting in elementary school, do math and language courses after school, and engage in summer enrichment activities. They make sure their kids get into the gifted and talented programs in their kids’ school, and if their kid doesn’t make the cut, they hound the school as hard as possible to make sure their kid stays with the leaders of the pack.
Their parents give them extra homework during the summer so that they can test out of as many subjects as possible during the school year. Their parents know the algebra readiness exam is in 6th grade and that their child needs to score above a 90% to be able to take algebra 3 years early. They have their child prepare for this exam as early as their kid can handle the material. For these children, school should be a breeze, and they learn the real stuff during their studies outside of the classroom.

A thoroughbred is a horse, not a kid.
Just knock this shit off, or go back to one working parent households.
Sounds like they are layering homeschooling on top of government schooling. They aren’t wrong that government schooling is crap, so why not just homeschool?
We had a kid who was a math genius. (Pretty smart in other areas too, but nowhere near what he could do in math). His parents were like that. They made him do all sorts of homework in the summer. Wouldn’t let him go out to play until it was done.
He was also a runt. No athletic ability whatsoever. During school he was always the referee. He knew all the had signals for all the penalties. There were times we were pretty sure he called a penalty just so he could do some esoteric hand signal for it.
When they bought their house, it came with a 9 ft basket and was near the parks, so some buddies and I would always stop by his house and play basketball because we could dunk. Poor guy was stuck inside and you could see him looking out the window.
I hope he wound up making ridiculous stacks as a Wall Street quant.
That is the new normal for a lot of parents. I do not do that.
We limited our three kids to one after-school activity each. That a was a good idea. Meanwhile my SIL has her kid in everything just like this person.
Pie, I think you and I share a Twitter feed.
What few activities I has, I was responsible for getting to. My parents were too busy doing other things to be my chauffeur.
The only activity I recall my parents driving us to was swim team. Which Pater Dean took us to, because it was at the gym he went to anyway to play handball. Oh, and I think Mater Dean took us to some art lessons at some point.
Everything else, we rode our bikes to, because small Texas town.
“Epstein Survivor Juliette Rose Bryant, Who Was Allegedly Introduced to Bill Clinton, Issues Chilling Warning: ‘I Am Not Suicidal’ — Demands Investigation If Anything Happens to Her After Giuffre’s Suspicious Death…
The South African native, who claims she was kidnapped by Epstein 20 years ago after meeting him alongside former President Bill Clinton, is demanding a full investigation into any potential harm that may befall her, especially in the wake of fellow Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre’s reported “suicide.”
Bryant reposted a video she originally shared two years ago after the death of Jeffrey Epstein victim Carolyn Adriano, who testified against Maxwell.
Carolyn Andriano was found unresponsive in a West Palm Beach hotel in 2023. West Palm Beach police opened an investigation into her death after it was concluded she died of an accidental drug overdose.
Andriano’s mother pleaded with police to investigate her daughter’s death and insisted she was drug and alcohol free….
In interviews, including a 2022 BBC documentary House of Maxwell and a 2025 appearance on Boom Play, Bryant recounted a particularly disturbing incident at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, where she woke up naked and paralyzed on an examination table in a laboratory, surrounded by a female doctor and people in hazmat suits.
She believes this was connected to Epstein’s reported interest in cloning, DNA manipulation, and transhumanism, though she has not confirmed what was done to her.”

WTF??
His attacks on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, for instance, have tarnished America’s brand as the rock of stability in the global economy.
Pay no attention to the unconstrained spending behind the curtain.
April 28, 1925: The International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts is ceremonially opened in Paris. The showcase for the world’s best examples of modern design will give rise to a new term taken from the French “arts décoratifs:” Art Deco

Deco FTW. Last gasp of attractiveness in its architectural application before modernism took over (though there are some decent examples of that) and especially post-modernism took a shit over everything.
Washington has lovely architecture, except all the brutalism.

Our team analyzed 865,727 mifepristone abortions (2017–2023), 28 times larger than all FDA clinical trials combined.
Here’s what we found:
· 10.93% of women experienced severe or life-threatening events within 45 days of taking Mifepristone, including sepsis, hemorrhage, blood transfusion, infection, and abortion related surgeries.
· That’s a 22 times higher serious adverse event rate than the FDA-approved label for mifepristone claims (less than 0.5% in trials).
· Over one in ten women who took mifepristone experienced serious medical complications, not rare by any clinical standard.

I realize myself I cannot really trust any sort of study any more. Anyone know anything about this?
The clinical trials for FDA approval are designed and run by the pharma companies and their contractors. The trials themselves are carefully engineered to deliver approvable results.

Woot, Virginia won’t be the victim.
I can guarantee that Clarence Thomas will side with the FBI in that case.
Most people don’t actually know the lengths parents will go to try to raise an academic superstar. In this post, I will detail the life of the average thoroughbred in STEM PhD programs at a top university.
Are any of these extraordinary academic efforts made in response to demonstrated interest or aptitude, or is this just forced labor?

Former Vice President Kamala Harris will jab at President Trump in the keynote address at the Emerge gala on Wednesday, making her first public remarks since leaving office in January, a source told The Hill.
In her remarks, the former vice president, who lost to Trump in November, is expected to offer pointed criticism of the administration, the source said.
Harris is also expected to honor the organization for its role empowering women in politics and issue a call to action to combat Trump’s economic policies and his push to overhaul the federal government.
She would never have tried to reorganize the government or cut spending.
Emerge? Is that a rehab/recovery place?
Becoming unburdened by what has been.
