No sports to talk about. Not till the training camps get fully up to speed of somebody does something crazy on a baseball field. On to the links.
“Steady partner” is an interesting phrase. “Gigantic blank check” works better. But hey, it’s only money, right?
“Reignites political battles” is an interesting phrase. “Releases damning intel” works better. But hey, it’s only undermining the incoming president and serial lawbreaking, right?
Good. Get rid of her. She’s a piece of shit.
I never thought it would be a retirement destination. Or are all the young people just leaving because their companies are moving?
“Is this America? I thought this was America.” Oh wait, it’s Florida. Carry on.
What a time we live in. This shouldn’t even be newsworthy, let alone controversial.
What a shame. Rip currents are a nightmare scenario. I feel bad for his family.
They should flood the area. And the feds should start charging the people who deliberately ignore detainers with conspiracy.
Heaven forbid she look out for her family and/or employees. But since she’s rich, she’s inherently evil, so this was inevitable.
It’s Hunter’s party now. What a hilarious interview. Which one? Take your pick.
I’ve never played these guys. At least I don’t think I have. But if I’m wrong, somebody will remind me. Either way, enjoy.
And enjoy this lovely Tuesday, dear friends.
“This vast and interconnected set of programs funded by taxpayers has been significantly dismantled in just months, nonprofit leaders, researchers and funders say. ”
Good. Taxes should only go to government entities, of which there are too many already.
Yup… “You want to do it so bad? Use your own damned money or convince your neighbors / church / whatnot to donate. Stop using the government gun for your pet projects, buddy….”
Hey Democrats, here is your opportunity to step up and show how compassionate you are.
I am still laughing at that Rat.
I remind everyone that these are the people that tell you they are virtues because, while they don’t believe in God, Jesus was a socialist like them. The fact Jesus made it clear government was not part of the equation and individuals had to help the less well off, seems to have escaped them completely. Just like what that horribly evil religion of envy that Marx & Engels concocted for them.
It goes even further – 2 of the 10 commandments explicitly state not to steal and not to covet your neighbor’s property.
“In response to questions about the cuts to grant funding, White House spokesperson Kush Desai said, “Instead of government largesse that’s often riddled with corruption, waste, fraud, and abuse, the Trump administration is focused on unleashing America’s economic resurgence to fuel Americans’ individual generosity.”
Woah, it’s like private charity, man.
Private charity is evil. It lets people give just to the groups they support. The only fair way to distribute charity is to have the government steal money through threat of force and distribute it to the groups they support.
“Government is another word for things we do together” or sumsuch. Basically, they* want to force leftism down everyone’s throat and, at the same time, force them to pay for it.
*They, JI, also know as them.
Like a gang rape.
Hey, you ever just like, look at your toes?
Basically, they* want to force leftism down everyone’s throat
How many federal budgets have been written and passed while Republicans were in charge? You think only the “left” wants to jam shit down your throat? Hey Buddy…
Between Kickstarter and Kiva, I think we’ve shown that there’s both funds and willingness to use such a a program as well.
Who said Republicans can’t support leftism, anyway?
I shouldn’t be surprised that people are upset the government is using cutouts to fund a lot of stuff that’s not the government’s responsibility or right to pay for. But I still am. Especially when we’re as deep in debt as we are.
Why do hate the 79 people desperately seeking housing on the California beachfront?
At just over $2,000 per. Also, how many of those 79 are grouped into a unit or are they all living individually? Why do I get the impression this do-gooder is shoving cleaning people 10 people at a time into $10k a month housing and keeping a chunk for herself if not outright writing checks to her own LLC that owns the houses?
“Good. Taxes should only go to government entities, of which there are too many already.”
Globalist marxist (in Greta voice): HOW DARE YOU???
whaddup doh’
One of the few actual racist people I’ve met in my life got really mad when some black dude said that to him…
“What does that mean? ‘Whaddup doh’? I can’t even understand these people when they talk!”
I think the panel would have also accepted “Unconstitutional wealth redistribution”. That possibly apocryphal ‘Congress shouldn’t be doing private charity’ story leaps to mind… but of course that was so quickly forgotten over a century ago.
Morning, Sloopy — morning, all.
Sockdologer It’s worth keeping alive.
Some people on Reddit, Instagram and Threads…
Ah, a collective of retards.
I don’t even know which story that’s from. Hell, with today’s media, it could be any of them using those “sources” to put their finger on the pulse of the country.
The In-n-Out social media reaction. It’s really a worse reflection on the media – trolling social media for responses.
Someone posted something on social media. Here is an article with a summary of responses from social media. I am journalising.
Clicks were received, the system works as intended.
Yeah but these days retard-strength can bankrupt you, get you canceled, and/or get your head bashed in.
They ALL want cake..
“Is this America? I thought this was America.” Oh wait, it’s Florida. Carry on.
Did he give them the straight story?
“Florida man arrested for allegedly driving lawn mower drunk down busy highway”
George Jones did it 1st.
I doubt he was the first. But he sure was the coolest.
You know what I meant.
My favorite George Jones video:

Is society burning yet? I’m getting hungry.
The lib tears are keeping the burn down.
I’m honestly surprised Mr. Otto Penn didn’t cover this on the way out the door — I would have thought at least one senior aide with access to it would be an Obama lackey and want to cover those bases.
And yeah — I don’t want to re-litigate 2016 as such.. but if there are proven crimes (at the least several top ex-IC folks committed perjury, I believe… and I would hope the intentional exposure, leaking and conspiracies should count), smite them as hard as we can. Just to set the precedent that you can’t pull this crap… or we’re going to only get more and more of it.
(Of course, this is also why I think the current IC is irredeemable and should be razed and salted… given how many ‘they were aware of’ cases flare up, forgive me if I think we can live without them while we train a new, severely limited only-military intelligence crew. And screw the Five Eyes and their bypass of domestic surveillance laws by spying on each other…)
Careful redaction of the names of all involved is what stands out most about the “disclosure” of the malfeasance. Accountability? You don’t get no steenken accoutability.
Treat them exactly like they would treat someone they oppose doing exactly what they did: which would be to use every shady technique imaginable to destroy them both publicly and personally.
That’s a great plan if you want to drive the last few nails into the coffin of our constitutional and social orders.
It is, however, the Game Theory method of handling defectors to rules.
The trick is to handle it by using constitutional methods.
Alternatively ZWAK, there is a social response – shunning and shaming those who did it. Sadly, our social order is incapable of that these days. And given that, I don’t expect an appropriate political or judicial response.
“That’s a great plan if you want to drive the last few nails into the coffin of our constitutional and social orders.”
What order is that? The one where democrats shit all over it all, abuse the law to hurt those they dislike and to destroy anyone calling that our or whom they consider their enemies, then whine about anyone playing back at them? All while most republicans just keep fighting with Marquise of Queensbury rules as the democrats gang shank them prison style before passing them around like the bitches they are?
Yeah, if that is the system, I would rather burn the whole fucking thing down.
Shame, and along with it, shunning, only work when you have a population that mostly agrees with it. When you have an almost perfect split, you have to work with the laws, or you are defecting just like they did.
“The District Attorney’s Office stated to FOX31 on Friday, that they plan to “drop charges” against Solomon Galligan, for an alleged kidnapping attempt in 2024., and decided to go after the mambo controlling him.”
Reality is, we can’t deal with people that live in other realities. We won’t imprison them for crime, we won’t lock them up for being nuts.
Mambo #5 better lawyer up. It is, after all, the worst mambo.
A little bit of Mary all night long…
A little bit of you makes me your man.
“Or are all the young people just leaving because their companies are moving?”
I think they are leaving because they can’t afford to live there. I’ve been hearing this for 25 years.
We left 30 years ago because we would never be able to afford a decent lifestyle in CA.
I went out to San Diego for an interview in 2001. I will spare the details, but I was being offered almost triple what I was making to join a startup, with insane benefits. The place was beautiful. Great weather, beautiful country, and so on. Anyway, my ex asked me to look at a home. Called a realtor and told them that I wanted to look at homes between 2100 and 2600 sq feet. First one I went to was OK and about 2050 sq ft. When I asked the price and was told it was a cool million – 8 times what I paid for my 2600 sq ft place in “The People’s Republic of CT” – where I thought everything was too expensive, I immediately decided never to look at CA as a place to live.
Proved out to be a great choice on my part even though I stayed in commie east coast, not just because the startup went belly up less than a year later, but because CA.
Hunter has the a similar (albeit more vulgar) debate style as his father. State preposterous nonsense as facts, then arrogantly talk down to people based on those “facts”. It makes me want to punch his new teeth out.
Yup… and not wanting to be screamed at for “gentrification” and dodge poop maps, I expect. My gut is that they killed Silicon Valley… the corpse is just shambling forward for a few more years. Austin and/or Seattle area (not Seattle proper) will replace it.
If it’s like the neighborhood I lived in LA, all the parked cars will have Nevada or Utah plates. CA is a nice place to hang out as long as you aren’t on the hook for too many of their taxes.
I know it was, JFC, 30 years ago, but our little neighborhood in SoCal was awesome. Until the trains came.
Supposedly Pittsburgh too. I guess they’ll have to call that Silicon Hollow.
Gang of Four is good stuff, but man they had shitty politics.
True. But retards often make good music.

Point.
So they fit in with the entertainment industry.
As a lad who grew up constantly swimming in the Pacific Ocean, you dont fight the tide, you swim parallel or just let it take you to the end and then…swim parallel.
But fear makes human brains fight for survival.
When I was thirteen I got caught in a rip tide off of Catalina Island. Holy shit that was scary. Of course I had no idea at first, and tried to swim through it, and got tired, and almost drowned. Some adults had to pull me out, and I never liked swimming after that. All my friends became surfers, but I was always “nah man, I’m cool on the beach.”
Thats my story as well, fuck the beach though, too sandy…
My daughter played this at her high school talent show:

“Rahm Emanuel, who is publicly mulling a presidential run, told conservative media host Megyn Kelly in a new interview that a man can’t become a woman, breaking with most Democrats on the divisive issue of transgender rights.”
Because Rahm Emanuel is suddenly so principled?
I would have asked if he thinks people have a right to self defense.
“Because Rahm Emanuel is suddenly so principled?”
I see that you get it…
Emmanuel is a vocal gun grabber who also famously said while working with Obama “We agree with Mao, that power comes from the barrel of a gun.”
He is the living breathing reason we have the second amendment.
“‘Not easy for In N Out to do business in California…’ Said the person who became a billionaire doing business almost exclusively in California. So much so, it was a point of pride for the chain. Gotcha.”
Something tells me that the California of 1948 (when the business was founded) or 1968 or even 1998 is way different than the California of today.
The greatest sin here is proving that point – that CA has been skin-suited and what was once good is now foul.
Charles Grodin’s character in Seems Like Old Times says “California is a very conservative state” and nobody Aron d him so much as blinks because it was 100% true in 1980.
Banjos and I are watching early seasons of Law & Order and in one episode the DAs are talking about trying to get a warrant. One said to the other “that might fly from a judge in a conservative state like Arizona or California” and we just laughed. It was 1992-1994 when the episode was written.
Also, they used a ton of slurs on that show. A lot of stuff that would never make it into network tv today, I suspect.
“They’re happy to take our money and hate everything else about us,”
Just as you are happy to give them your money and hate everything else about them. I mean, they put God in your soda man!
Their religious slogans being on the bottom of the cup is less surprising to me than there not also being a Prop 65 warning on it.
I enjoyed seeing some ‘influencer’ act like they found it and all butt hurt when its been no secret for 50 years it was printed on the inside bottom lip of the base of their cups.
What clowns.
Young people aren’t moving there because the rent is too damn high.
Also, the ones who do aren’t having children.
IDRTA. I dont need to. Non-profits, NGO’s, Charities and the charity circuit, blah blah. They are scams, tax dodges, ways for govt to do what they are forbidden to do, fronts for commies and spies….Cut that shit out. Also, get rid of the income tax and eminent domain. Start complying with the constitution you bunch of fucking criminals.
Morning all.
The Florida Highway Patrol stated that the trooper immediately observed signs of impairment in Spain, including pinpoint pupils, flushed skin, a dry mouth, and irritation on the inside of his nose.
It’s just allergies.
“Conservative influencer Blaire White is ditching Texas to head back to her home state of California after fleeing the Golden State in 2021.
White, 31, announced this week that she’ll be returning to Los Angeles after living in Austin in hopes of being part of “the solution” to help fix the ongoing issues instead of watching her home state “burn” from a distance.
“I was born there, so it is home for better or for worse,” the transgender social media star told her 1.5 million subscribers on YouTube.
“There are a lot of problems with California and a lot of people like to write off New York and California and say, ‘Just let them go overboard, let them burn,’ and I find that to be a very un-American perspective to hold.”
The YouTube star believes California is “the most beautiful place in the world,” and shared it’s a “shame” that “it’s run by demons.”
https://nypost.com/2025/07/22/us-news/conservative-influencer-blaire-white-announces-shes-leaving-texas-to-head-back-to-california/
I just hope she’s happy. Wonder what she is going to do with her customized gun collection?
Who?
A conservative dude in a dress that has a podcast. He is a. tranny that is off the plantation so he gets under the pinko’s skin. Good for him but I think moving back is a mistake.
Blaire is an interesting case. Conservative, gun enthusiast, and against trans indoctrination in schools. But very passable and attractive as a woman. I think she has some chromosome issues or something. Really the poster child for “If you want to be trans, go for it, just don’t shove it down our throats.”
“I think she has some chromosome issues or something.”
She wasn’t intersex, if that’s what you mean.
Stealing a little MN-local thunder, just because it exposes more Democratic turmoil. I have to laugh at DFL in Minneapolis – like there’s any farmers or labor (real working people that is) in that city.
There are two Minnesodas, totally unrelated.
Those that are able to get out, retirees, etc, are moving away, many to the North Country.
Still, some bring their Metro ideas with them. If I was 1/2 the man I used to be I’d certainly look at NoDak/SoDak.
Like that shitbird in NYC he is just a straight up America-hating commie, isn’t he? So they actively captured DA’s all around the country, now mayors?
This will turn out well.
“I have to laugh at DFL in Minneapolis – like there’s any farmers or labor (real working people that is) in that city.”
They would smugly disagree with you that they are not hard at work fucking up the city and the entire state at a faster pace than the democrats are able to do so…
Fortunately there are still pockets of MN nice. Not resisting of course but not worthwhile for the changers’ efforts, maybe even the changers enjoy a little respite from what they’ve created.
I will just leave this here

The level of entitlement to federal tax dollars is enraging.
Why do you think these people always are focused on taking from the haves – and always talk about it in language inferring that is punishment for success, which they hate – and consider government taxing people less as the problem instead of government spending insane amounts of money?
“President Trump is pulling the US out of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), citing its anti-America and anti-Israel leanings as well as its woke agenda, The Post has learned.
Trump ordered a 90-day review of America’s presence in UNESCO back in February, with special emphasis on probing any “anti-Semitism or anti-Israel sentiment within the organization.”
Upon conducting the review, administration officials took issue with UNESCO’s diversity, equity and inclusion policies as well as its pro-Palestinian and pro-China bias, a White House official told The Post.”
https://nypost.com/2025/07/22/us-news/trump-to-pull-us-out-of-unesco-over-dei-policies-pro-palestinian-pro-china-tilt/
I thought they made cookies?
I thought they designated random things as world heritage to try and prevent development.
UNECSO operates like a global historical society which blows apart all semblance of private property rights. The declare some landmark a UNESCO Heritage Site, and suddenly you need their permission to do anything within that zone.
Now do the UN. We really need to get out of the UN. If the UN and China need to get a room they can knock themselves out…on China’s dime.
““President Trump is pulling the US out of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), citing its anti-America and anti-Israel leanings as well as its woke agenda, The Post has learned.”
I wish he pulled us out of the entire UN, sent them packing, turned their real estate in NYC into some housing for addicts and losers, and I wouldn’t give a fuck what the reason given or reported by media douchebags was either.
Defund and skin suit it.
Walking away from the UN, like NATO, would be a giant mistake.
Not sure how you defund and skinsuit. Besides, without US money, is there even enough left to bother with?
Yes, walking away leave the legitimacy in place. The USSR did that in 1950 and that’s how the Korean War became a UN affair. And still is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Command
1) End tax free employment & visas for working at international agencies (UN, World Bank, etc)
2) cut funding for almost all of the UN and associated slush agencies
4) limit delegation size
3) leave the auditorium in place for tinpots to give speechs but cut the cameras feeds
Keep the ambassador.
Use the veto power on every vote.
That is Rahm ‘we agree with Mao’ Emmanuel?
Rip currents: Do not fight them. Swim parallel with the shore. You wont have to swim far and you will find yourself being pushed back to the beach. At that point swim toward the beach. It is a simple thing to know and it can save your life. Check your local tides and dont swim where you dont see waves breaking.

I love the Californians bitching about In and out lady. I will give them this – they are far more qualified than she is to decide when, what and how much to spend her money and how much she owes them. She should be arrested and all of her property seized.
For the people.
“A Florida man has been nabbed for allegedly threatening to “kill everyone” on notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein’s so-called client list — vowing to hack them to death “on sight” with a machete…

So I have a personal requirement for wherever it is I’m going to retire.
There needs to be snow-capped mountains within view year round. But there’s a massive problem….
Those places aren’t very plentiful. They’re non-existent on the east coast. The west coast is a fucking open air looney bin where those sorts on environments are more common. CA, OR, WA are all straight disqualified. CO is on the march to the same place politically. Montana, WY, UT, and maybe NV are in play but I would have no idea where, and from what I gather much of those areas have basically been turned into short term rental hell zones for locals where property and houses are not affordable by normies. Alaska is a destination for that, but the wife won’t have that sort of winter, even if SE Alaska (like Juneau or Ketchikan) have perfectly tolerable winters. The rainfall in those areas are all excessive.
Where in the lower 48 can one find a spot that isn’t a leftist shithole, on its way towards being a leftist shithole, or an enclave for the rich to sip their wine while they complain about the quality of local help who can’t afford to live there?
South Dakota around Rapid City may be the place, though no snow summer mountains. NoDak if you don’t need hills of any sort and enough snow in the winter to last all summer.
I need trees and lakes, neither of which are plentiful in the Daks.
I’ve actually spent time in Rapid and its surrounding areas. The Black Hills are beautiful. Correct about no snow caps in summer. I spent most of my time just the other side of the state line in WY, but I couldn’t live in a place like Newcastle.
I’m imaging Northern Utah or NM, maybe.
Exurban Nashville was very affordable when I visited there some years ago. But that humidity is something else for those not acclimated to it, and the southern food is fine for vacation but also not to my liking. Everything does not need to go in a deep fryer. It’s OK to have a salad or a fish that has been grilled or baked.
I live less than 3 hours from Nashville. Nice place, but not where I’m looking to retire.
There needs to be snow-capped mountains within view year round. But there’s a massive problem….
Those places aren’t very plentiful. They’re non-existent on the east coast.
Depending on the conditions, Mount Washington will be snow capped year round.
Not sure about the snow-capped year-round part, northern AZ (think Flagstaff) may have some spots. There’s also northern NM.
Of course, Phoenix is in the process of Californicating AZ, but I think it will be a little while. And NM is pretty much permanently Team Blue.
I don’t recall seeing any snow caps when I was in Flagstaff.
Then again, I was more interested in looking down (range) and up (at the planets) so missed around (at the horizon).
Pocatello Idaho.
It’s a leftist shithole, for Idaho.

“Rip currents are a nightmare scenario.”
When my son-in-law first deployed they stopped in Guam, and they lost a sailor who is now presumed dead. There was a lot of searching the water so it sounds like that was a rip current too.
Living so close to the Indiana Dunes, we’ve seen the rip current warnings and every summer there’s someone who gets caught and drowns. It’s probably easy to underestimate the risk if you haven’t heard about it much.
“Coca-Cola has confirmed that it is changing the recipe for its iconic soda later this year.
The drinks giant will launch a Coca-Cola in the US this fall made with real cane sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup.”

I wonder if they are doing it in exchange for SNAP continuing to pay for soda.
SNAP really needs to go to a outside loop of a grocery store model. Nothing in aisles.
Fruits, veggies and two types of meats…basic cuts or grounds, frozen fish, eggs, milk and flour.
That is more than enough to feed families and diversify a diet.
That’s completely unworkable. I also don’t see a problem with people buying rice, pasta, spices, canned goods, etc.
But it should be fairly easy to eliminate candy and soda.
SNAP needs to go period. We need to stop trying to do redistribution via government entirely, and we especially need to stop doing it at the federal level. Charity is a virtue, bureaucratically run redistribution is not charity it is moral destruction for the recipients.
SNAP needs to go period.
Along with a lot of other stuff.
Bring back the white GENERIC labeled cans.
So having to decide between drugs or the newest Old Coke? Life’s choices are tough.
Pepsi had been doing this up till the pandemic with both Pepsi and Mountain Dew “Throwback”.
Mountain Dew Throwback is awesome. Basically the only soda I’ll even consider drinking.
I was under the impression that sugar-Coke would replace corn-Coke but that blurb sounds like it will be a separate product which feeds my suspicion that the price will be higher.
And of course the article is not clear on the matter at all.
So many comments about the In-N-Out moving to a lower wage state being the reason for the move. They’ve been in TX for probably a decade now and have always advertised way higher than minimum wage jobs. Currently “Starting at $15-$18 per hour.” So that’s a failed argument. Also, they need to learn how to make a good French fry.
And they demand cleanliness, respect, punctuality and prompt service from all their employees.
Everything California hates
It’s almost like their detractors are arguing with emotions rather than reason. Huh.
The also need to learn how to make a decent sized burger, not the sliders they serve now.
As we have almost nearly and exclusively been eating at home, portion sizes are smaller.
I appreciate a place that doesnt give me a 1/2 lb burger now
I can remember when the quarter-pounder was an upsized burger.
4×4 with extra patties on the side.
I make 1/2 lb burgers at home. I’m guessing they weigh around 6 oz. cooked. Water is heavy.
https://schweidandsons.com/pre-made-patties/
If you buy pre-made patties, it’s gonna be hard to find better than these.
Signature, butcher blend, or prime.
After the long ass line (two weeks? My people were out in the dessert less…) you need much more sustenance then a singe INO burger can provide.
Concur.
You can order different fry cooked levels. Well done, light well, etc.
I was not a fan of INO when they opened here, but I’ve come around. The customizations are awesome. Had it for lunch yesterday and the puppers got her burger too.
“The U.S. Agency for Global Media sponsored hundreds of visas over a number of years for foreign journalists to come work for its subsidiary Voice of America, some of which were awarded to employees tied to Chinese state media, according to records reviewed by Just the News.
The agency’s hiring of more than 400 foreign journalists, from about 2009 to the end of the Biden administration, raises questions because of the liberal use of J1 cultural exchange visas, which are not designed for use as a general work authorization.
The employment records were uncovered by a sweeping review of the United States Agency for Global Media by Senior Advisor Kari Lake and her staff ordered by the Trump administration, which seeks to reorganize the agency and return it to its statutory role.”

Yes. The VOA is another one of those money laundering operations that does nothing of value. Cut off their water.

“Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is getting broadsided from her left over her vote on an amendment aimed at blocking US funding for Israel’s Iron Dome.
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are criticizing the progressive firebrand for voting against an amendment by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., to block $500 million in Congress’ annual defense spending bill that was aimed at helping fund Israeli missile defense systems.
“An arms embargo means keeping all arms out of the hands of a genocidal military, no exceptions. This is why we oppose Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’[s] vote against an amendment that would have blocked $500 million in funding for the Israeli military’s Iron Dome program,” the DSA said over the weekend.”

Fielder’s interference results in the batter being awarded first base. It doesn’t matter if the swing was late.
Catchers have to watch how far they reach when trying to “frame” a pitch as a strike. And this rule goes way back to the days before there was instant, slo-mo replay to show that the batter didn’t hit glove until it was already in it. Undoubtedly, Philly batter wouldn’t have hit it and would probably have grounded into an inning ending double play on next pitch!
Catchers Intereference. Stay the fuck out of the way.
You don’t bean the batter, and you don’t steal a hit.
It was the right call, per the rules, just a ridiculous way to lose.
“A New Jersey widower who cannot afford private school is fighting to stop his public school district from treating his gender-confused daughter as a boy against his express wishes, even in its “home education program,” and calling child protective services for his resistance….
Ludlow Public Schools fired teacher Bonnie Manchester for telling Stephen Foote and Marissa Silvestri the district transitioned their self-described “genderqueer” 11-year-old behind their backs.

The school to clinic pipeline needs to end.
I wouldn’t vote to convict if a disgruntled parent starting shooting these people.
I don’t think 11 years ago when the trans insanity started that anyone expected such insanely zealous teachers trying to trans kids.
There needs to be a stronger legal remedy.
I’ve argued it’s going to take a son being transitioned against his will by his mother shooting her to stop it.
There needs to be a stronger legal remedy.
Not going to happen when the courts are backing the teachers.
I donno, judges can have their minds changed for them.

“A Washington state woman has filed a wrongful death claim against multiple fossil fuel companies, including ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP and Shell, alleging that they contributed to global warming, caused the 2021 Pacific Northwest heat dome, and therefore her mother’s death.
The case, Leon v. ExxonMobil Corp. et al., filed in King County Superior Court, is the first known lawsuit to argue that a single climate-related death is the direct legal responsibility of oil and gas companies.”

This shit needs to get stomped out immediately.
There is a never-used rule of civil procedure that sanctions lawyers who bring frivolous claims. If memory serves, it was included because the rest of the rules bend pretty decidedly pro-plaintiff, certainly compared to the old common law rules for civil lawsuits.
Much like the 10th Amendment, though, it is regarded as a mere inkblot.
“Motion to dismiss with prejudice granted, plaintiff is ordered held for psychological evaluation and ordered to pay defendants’ legal expenses.”
Plaintiff if probably judgement proof. Get her lawyers to pay up.
You’re right.
“Council for the plaintiff is suspended from the practice of law until the defendant’s legal costs have been paid.”
Lefty judges must be tripping over themselves trying to grab that juicy case.
So I could use spaghetti logic to sue for every item in the Smithsonian museum because the creators gave us the modern warming globe and that museum currently owns their estates. I could also sue for the sum total of the values of all the companies that were born of those creations.
This is good to know.

“Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Tuesday morning that it is the intention of the Department of Justice to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s associate who is serving a 20 year prison term for her role in a scheme to sexually exploit and abuse multiple underage girls over the course of a decade.”
https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-doj-to-meet-with-ghislaine-maxwell
No mention of a lesbian sex tape.
I publicly asserted – and predicted – several weeks ago during the whole “What Epstein List?” that this would be the pretext used to get Ghislaine out of jail.
This – I have also claimed – along with her deep family ties to Mossad, would be strong evidence that Trump is bowing to the Israelis who want their gal back as a matter of “principle” – that the Mossad looks after their own.
This looks like the beginning of her walking free.
I should be surprised. But I’m not…
I would expect they’re not going to cut her loose unless she delivers some serious goods, though. Trump would absolutely vaporize his base support if he pardoned her, absent something extraordinary that she can provide. Even then, a good chunk of his base chimped out over the botched Bondi announcement that there was nothing there. To do a heel turn and say, not only was there something there, we are pardoning the only person convicted over this because she delivered the proof that what was there was massive, I dunno, just not seeing it.
“General Motors GM -7.39% managed to beat analyst expectations Tuesday when it reported second-quarter results, but new tariffs on imported cars and auto parts took a $1.1 billion bite out of its bottom line.”
Those Korean made Buicks don’t look so hot anymore. I didn’t read further to figure out why the stock is down so much given they beat. My expectation is it’s based on future guidance.
Part of it has to be all the bad LS motors out of the factory in the last year.
Bribery
Democrats and press freedom advocates have said Paramount’s recent moves are a clear capitulation to Trump’s executive power to serve its business interest, while Colbert himself called out the media conglomerate last week, saying it had paid the president a “big fat bribe.”
It would never occur to them to question the need for government involvement at all.
The show was losing $40 Million/year. There was no good reason not to cancel.
That is why we need taxpayer funding. The truth should not be silenced by financials.
Colbert accused CBS of leaking financial figures to the press, alleging his show was losing upward of $40 million a year as a justification for axing the “Late Show” franchise.
It’s just a drop in the bucket.
Ummmm… “leaking” the show that CBS runs and owns?
That commie turd and the rest of the late night commie propaganda turds cant disappear fast enough.
Well, things are a lot tougher for Colbert now that dancing vaccine needles are so 2021.
I really pondered a lot what kind of content that is. It’s not comedy. It’s not actual dance or music; that part was utterly unimaginative.
It’s just pure moral preening and in-group bonding. It was truly bizarre to watch.
“By its nature of openness to new ideas, scientific inquiry exemplifies the secular worldview of liberals. Science levels the playing field. It’s woke.”

“Do you have any new ideas on how we can suppress opposing views?”
Misinformation, disinformation, and of course, HATE SPEECH!
I absolutely hate “SCIENCE!!!”tm..
It always involves marxist peddling some stupid shit via consensus that when actually understood amounts to politics.
I however hold the scientific process, when done correctly, in absolute high esteem. And I also know the left, and especially the left always talking about science, would never allow that process to happen cause they would be ended.
I’ve never heard anyone say that they “hate science”, and I’ve talked to some pretty kooky conspiratorial kinds of people.
What people usually mean is that:
– They don’t recognize the right of government-appointed scientists to become dictators over our lives
– They have spotted the tendency of climatologists to fail hard at making accurate predictions
– They don’t trust government bodies of scientists after all the demonstrable lying that happened during COVID
More like “lying through their fucking teeth”.
It’s not just that they aren’t practicing actual science. They are actively seeking power and they will let the corpses pile up if that’s what it takes.
@ Rhy:
Oh absolutely. They even let the mask slip from time to time and tell us about the future they envision: Where we proles are herded into “sustainable” communities of tiny apartments, ride shitty public transit, and subsist on bug protein, and of course the elites would continue to eat fillet mignon on their private jet because saving the planet is hard work.
LOL they mean that positively? HFS.
They can all get fucked. After beclowning themselves and straight up lying to us during COVID, no one from the Left can ever lecture me about science. And also, if you believe in the trans nonsense, you are doubly disqualified from lecturing us about science.
Stand on the gas
Democratic strategist James Carville said in a new opinion piece for The New York Times that the current Democratic Party is “a cracked-out clown car.”
“Constipated. Leaderless. Confused. A cracked-out clown car. Divided. These are the words I hear my fellow Democrats using to describe our party as of late. The truth is they’re not wrong: The Democratic Party is in shambles,” Carville said in the Times piece released Monday.
Carville pointed to the recent clinching of the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor by Zohran Mamdani, which shocked many political observers, saying it “wasn’t an isolated event.”
Point it at the nearest cliff.
You’re lucky His Swissitude didn’t do the links this morning.
I’m starting to wonder if this Carville isn’t just using misdirection to make the GOP complacent. Penna. has three GOP congressional seats won by less than 2% in 2024 (in districts Trump only won by about 2%). They are pretty vulnerable to any erosion in GOP strength, whether from lazily “sitting out a mid term election,” pissed at Trump for not exposing Epstein, or scared by Dem propaganda that “their local hospital will close because Trump gutted Medicaid.” Anti- Trump rallies in the area are drawing thousands of “No King” demonstrators, way more than the Tea Party ever got in 2009-2010 when the GOP went after Obama’s policies. I wonder how many Dem seats nationwide are vulnerable to GOP takeover?
I wonder how many Dem seats nationwide are vulnerable to GOP takeover?
I’ve seen news in NH that the state GOP sees both House seats and the Senate seat as in-play.
From what I’ve seen so far of the candidates, and with the caveat that we are still far out, I think the Democrats will keep both House seats and the Senate seat.
On the other hand, I think the GOP has a good shot at keeping firm control of the state government.
“Anti- Trump rallies in the area are drawing thousands of “No King” demonstrators, way more than the Tea Party ever got in 2009-2010 when the GOP went after Obama’s policies.”
Those people are being paid. They use crowds for hire companies.
The Repubs are absolutely capable of throwing away the midterms, although I would argue that Congressional inertia and inaction are a bigger threat that Trumpian antics. But as far as “Anti- Trump rallies in the area are drawing thousands of “No King” demonstrators”, I doubt many of those people voted for Trump, and I wonder how many of them are even local.

A not insignificant reason for their success is a reaction to Chinese tourists who face no repercussions for ignoring social norms during their visits.

Hino made a serious push into automotive production in the mid-1960s, licensing Renault’s Dauphine-based designs as a starting point
It reminded me of a Dauphine.
The wiki says it has a Renault engine too. So parts may be available.
Renault inspired, but still. Not really a barn find, but too cool to pass up.
Trump mudslinging
Justice Department attorneys asked a federal judge to end a sealing order for the records nearly two years ahead of its expiration date. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which King led, is opposed to unsealing any of the records for privacy reasons. The organization’s lawyers said King’s relatives also wanted to keep the files under seal.
Scholars, history buffs and journalists have been preparing to study the documents to find new information about the civil rights leader’s April 4, 1968, assassination in Memphis, Tennessee.
The King family’s statement released after Trump’s order in January said the family hoped to get an opportunity to review the files before their public release. King’s family, including his two living children, Martin III and Bernice, was given advance notice of Monday’s release and had its own teams reviewing the records ahead of the public disclosure.
In a statement Monday, King’s children called their father’s case a “captivating public curiosity for decades.” But they emphasized the personal nature of the matter and urged “these files must be viewed within their full historical context.”
Uh-oh. There goes your control of the narrative.
“We ask those who engage with the release of these files to do so with empathy, restraint, and respect for our family’s continuing grief,” the statement said.
Get a job. Stop living off your father’s “legacy”.
Approaching sixty fucking years ago.
Martin said Trump’s motivation could be part of an effort to shed doubt on government institutions.
“It could be an opportunity for the Trump administration to say, ‘See, the FBI is evil, I’ve been trying to tell you this. This is why I’ve put (FBI Director) Kash Patel in office because he’s cleaning out the Deep State,’” Martin said.
Another factor could be the two attempts on Trump’s life as he was campaigning for a second presidential term and a desire to “expose the broader history of U.S. assassinations,” said Brian Kwoba, an associate history professor at the University of Memphis.
“That said, it is still a little bit confusing because it’s not clear why any U.S. president, including Trump, would want to open up files that could be damaging to the United States and its image both in the U.S. and abroad,” he said.
Most un-American President ever.
open up files that could be damaging to the United States and its image both in the U.S. and abroad,” he said.
Yep. Americans and non-Americans alike have nothing but unconditional trust and admiration for the US government. If Drumpf releases those files, it might make people think that the US government engages in immoral and untrustworthy behavior!!
Anything that could be destroyed by the truth, should be destroyed by the truth.
Battle for control of the past
President Donald Trump’s intelligence chiefs are conducting a systematic campaign to rewrite the history of the 2016 election, seeking to reverse an eight-year-old assessment that Russia waged an information war to boost Trump’s candidacy.
National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe have cited declassified emails to allege in social media posts and television appearances that Obama administration officials manipulated intelligence and conspired to undermine the legitimacy of Trump’s electoral victory in 2016.
But a bipartisan Senate investigation in 2020 and a recent CIA review both found that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, launching a disinformation campaign designed to damage Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s candidacy.
A three-year investigation by special counsel John Durham reported no criminal conspiracy by Obama administration officials to sabotage Trump, and Durham filed no charges against CIA officials.
“It would not be in the best interests of the nation to drag this through the mud” not same as “innocent”.
Keep spinning, assholes.
seeking to reverse an eight-year-old assessment that Russia waged an information war to boost Trump’s candidacy.
It would be easier to move those goalposts around if they’d install some wheels on them.
The claim was very clearly that Trump and/or his officials actually met with Russian officials and worked out a deal by which the Russians would swing the election and Trump would then do whatever the Russians want as president. That fell completely apart.
And as I recall, some of the Russian posts/ads were pro-Hillary, and others were general shit-stirring on divisive issues like BLM.
What I don’t understand is why the Russians would prefer Trump, who was notably not pro-Russia before or during his first term, over Hillary, was notably only Madame Reset Button as SecState, but cashed 8, maybe 9, figure checks from Russia and delivered on uranium sales to Russia and funding for Russian tech companies.
