    Hey Banjos! Sorry for early OT – but do you have a source movie/short for the gif for yesterday’s AM links? Thanks!

    • Banjos

      It’s Clara Bow. But I have no idea as to the movie.

    “Passive Heat”
    I should mow the lawn in 100 degree heat more often!

    • UnCivilServant

      Nah, just get a sauna installed in your house and slowly steam yourself.

      • R.J.

        Same thing! Only the whole world’s a sauna. I did actually go down a belt notch yesterday. It was 100 degrees and 75 percent humidity.

      • Not Adahn

        the whole world’s a sauna

        And all of us, merely towel-boys?

      • rhywun

        Yeah, all that’s required is to step outside.

      • The Other Kevin

        One of my high school class mates lost a brother to a sauna accident. He had a heart attack in the sauna at some club, the staff never checked to see if it was clear before closing, and he slowly cooked to death overnight.

      • Common Tater

        That’s horrible.

      • Ted S.

        They didn’t shut off the sauna overnight?

      • The Other Kevin

        @Ted I’m not sure. If they did turn it off, it still might have stayed hot long enough to do the job.

    • Common Tater

      Never tried it, and I don’t think Trump has much to do with it.

      “The substance 7-Hydroxymitragynine, commonly known as 7-OH, is a synthetic, concentrated form of kratom, a plant extract that is a stimulant at low doses, but has sedative effects when taken in high doses.

      FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary warned that “7-OH is an opioid that can be more potent than morphine….

      Makary said he expects 7-OH to be a Schedule I drug, but that decision is ultimately up to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).”

      https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/fda-moves-to-restrict-opioid-extract-derived-from-kratom-plant-5893922

      Why is that up to the DEA? An enforcement agency giving themselves more things to enforce.

      • Nephilium

        Because Congress gave the authority for the drug scheduling to the DEA. Why take responsibility when you can punt to a department that’s got next to no accountability.

      • R.J.

        I have an old Marine friend who takes it constantly.

        Oh never mind, that kills millions.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      I take it occasionally for sleep. If you take enough if it it gets you mildly high. A lot of people take it for pain and for weaning off heavy duty opiates. The feds should keep their hands the fuck off of it, it does a lot of people good and is only mildly addictive from what I’ve seen.

      • DrOtto

        If you’ve got an addictive personality, anything can be addictive. I had been using a certain “addictive” substance from about 2015/2016-2021. In March of ’21, after catching myself lying to my wife about my use, I quit cold turkey and haven’t had any of said substance since, no professional help necessary. Some people can’t do that. Doesn’t matter if it’s drugs, gambling or even praying (I’ve seen drug/drinking addicts become religious addicts), gov’t can’t stop it and should just butt out. It should be treated as a health concern, not criminalized.

      The way she can look so different in different shots makes me think she’s probably a very good model.

      Also that one shot where she’s in all baggy clothes, but exposes the lower part of her abs. Though, how much of that is her and how much the photographer I could not say.

      Colion Noir’s answer was: “because NYCers are a bunch of unarmed sheep.” Then he contrasted it with the non-newsworthy stabbing attack stopped by an armed citizen.

    • R C Dean

      Uhh, he had a rifle, so who exactly was going to stop him, and how?

    • Threedoor

      Just how did he get past concrete planters and security guards standing in the lobby?

      I’m guessing he walked.

      • Not Adahn

        He walked from where he parked to the building with his rifle in hand (lol at some news source identifying it as an M4 when the PSA logo is clearly visible) and not only did nobody stop him, apparently nobody even raised an alarm.

      • juris imprudent

        Well, black man with a gun in NYC is not exactly man bites dog.

    The Commerce Department said U.S. gross domestic product—the value of all goods and services produced across the economy—rose at a seasonally and inflation adjusted 3.0% annual rate in the second quarter.

    The reading exceeded the 2.3% growth that economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal expected.

    “Before Hoopes’s release, two federal judges rejected the DOJ’s pleas to detain transgender suspect Adam Lansky, who is accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership in January, aiming a rifle at a witness who drove away and returning the next month to fire shots into the building, court documents show.

    The DOJ warned in court that Lansky was “a competitive shooter” and former member of the Socialist Rifle Association, a left-wing firearm education and training group with chapters across the U.S. “The [improvised explosive devices] used by Lansky were all manufactured by him using everyday items, empty glass bottles, gasoline, fabric, etc., all these items remain easily accessible to Lansky in the community if released,” prosecutors wrote in a July 9 filing.”

    https://dailycaller.com/2025/07/29/blue-state-judges-refuse-jail-leftists-charged-violent-attacks/

    These leftist judges are insane.

    • Grumbletarian

      She sent Lansky to a halfway house instead, which is nowhere near the same as setting him loose. If it’s anything like most DoC facilities, rooms can be searched at will for contraband, curfews are strict, frequent and punctual check-ins required, etc.

      • R C Dean

        I feel like that comment needs more scare quotes, ‘tarian.

      Yes, please. But those tariffs are rookie numbers. Apply a 10,000% tariff on outsourced services, a 5,000% tariff on manufacturered goods, and end the H-visas.

      • Drake

        Tariffs are the new sanctions. But the old sanctions didn’t really work.

    • rhywun

      The US has been pushing Russia away for decades. It was inevitably going to result in them becoming besties with China. I’m not clear on why India joined in the fun; maybe their fondness for communism?

        India has always been friendly with Russia and now they need the oil.

      The problem with the 6.8mm platforms is that they get that increased lethality by running extremely high chamber pressure, which leads to reduced practical accuracy, reduced service life, and reliability and maintenance problems.

    “Democrats use rare law to push for Epstein files release

    On Capitol Hill today, Senate Democrats – led by majority leader Chuck Schumer – will hold a press conference at 12pm ET to discuss their plans to push the justice department to release the full and un-redacted Epstein files.

    Democrats are using a rare and little-known law, known coloquially as the “rule of five”, which requires government agencies to provide relevant information if at least five members of the committee request it. In this case all Democrats on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee signed a letter to attorney general Pam Bondi yesterday.”

        Because they know there isn’t anything in the files, and they just want them to generate media coverage at this point.

      • Suthenboy

        It is theater. The only reason they are pushing is because they think the files will never be released. Like everything else the genius’s do they have prompted everyone to ask why they didnt release then when they had them for years.

    Wait, so cream is perfectly OK for people with milk allergies? And naturally people with a milk allergy eat ice cream, right?

    Tropicale Foods of Ontario, CA is recalling certain Helados Mexico and La Michoacana products with specific best by dates, as detailed below because these products contain undeclared milk. Though these products include “cream” in the product ingredient lists, the common name “milk” is not declared. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

    The mind boggles.

    Wife and I recently got a letter from the state. Apparently there was a hiccup with our state tax return a couple of years ago. Whatever, we took care of it.
    I mention this because it is impossible to directly deal with the state dept of revenue. You cannot find their office and you cant get them on the phone. The same is true of the Feds.
    It occurs to me that when you have a govt entity that is so hated by the populace that they will have no direct contact with them we have a BIG problem. Think about that for a moment. These entities should be completely disbanded and the income tax done away with entirely.

    • Ozymandias

      I’ll say it again: I feel about the federal government the way I imagine real atheists should feel about ghosts.
      I think it’s all a mental construct (it is) and the minute a large enough group of Americans comes to the realization that we just don’t fucking need these FedGov rentiers – we’ll start returning to being a proper nation.

      • UnCivilServant

        Fun Fact – Zip codes are allocated by the volume of mail. An angecy like the IRS gets so much mail that it need not have a street address, it is a single loading dock to drop the crates off at.

    • Suthenboy

      When the interaction between govt and the populace becomes indistinguishable from the interaction between a people and their enemy there is a big problem.
      Neph…your reaction is a perfectly normal impulse but something I think we should avoid. We, as a nation have always been different than everyone else and we should continue being so. There has been some talk here about doing away with the state income tax. I grew up with the local state rep, I think I will give him a call. He just lives right down the road from me.
      Trump and co. have also made some noises about getting rid of the fed income tax. I think when that commie Twink told us that the income tax is not about revenue but about fairness it had the opposite effect he intended.
      I wonder what we can do to push this a bit and be smart about it.

    “Former NCIS actor Gabriel Olds appeared in court shackled and with unkempt shoulder-length hair as he listened to harrowing testimony from an actress accusing him of rape…

    The Yale graduate who also starred in the Eyes of Tammy Faye is facing multiple felony charges of rape, sodomy and other graphic sex crimes on five women between 2014 and 2023 prior to his arrest in August last year. He has pleaded not guilty.

    Over 20 former lovers are supporting him, however, and have praised the accused in favorable character letters as ‘such a gentle a** slapper’ and ‘the best sex I have ever had.’

    Department 82 at the Airport Courthouse in Los Angeles heard testimony from Jane Doe #6 (JD6), an actress, film producer and nanny who claimed she was raped by Olds but afterwards remained bedazzled by his charm and intellect…

    She was accompanied on the stand by a 10-year-old Labrador therapy dog called Skippy and his handler….

    The incident, she said, was different for other times when they frequently had rough BDSM sex.”

    “Sydney Sweeney’s ad shows an unbridled cultural shift toward whiteness,” reads the headline of an op-ed authored by Hannah Holland, an MSNBC producer. In Holland’s view, Sweeney is “both a symptom and participant” of this shift toward “whiteness, conservatism and capitalist exploitation.”

      It’s important to remember, when a progressive says ‘whiteness,’ they don’t mean being Caucasian. They mean things like showing up for work on time, paying your credit card balance each month, maintaining your home and property, and actively raising your children to be good people.

      In bizarre scenes during the fourth quarter of Atlanta Dream’s clash against Golden State Valkyries, the bright green object was chucked from the stands onto the court.

      Hulk fetish?

      Commentators were left ‘shocked’ that officials did not immediately bring the game to a halt and that the Valkyries were forced to ‘play through it’.

      Through it? Exactly how big was this sex toy?

      • (((Jarflax

        You could start from a perfect belief in sexual equality, with no knowledge of any historical prejudices about women, and recreate those prejudices purely by reading feminist adjacent news stories. It’s bizarre how the authors don’t see the connotations of stories like this (and the constant decade delayed rape accusations). Women are strong, but apparently seeing a sex toy, or being laughed at for losing a wig gives them the vapors. Women have agency and responsibility, but reserve the right to decide 10 years on that they didn’t really consent to that sexual encounter with the guy who ended up not staying with them.

        How is this not just a new spin on the old idea that women are incapable of personal responsibility, have no emotional control, and are prone to hysterical reactions to minor events?

        “How is this not just a new spin on the old idea that women are incapable of personal responsibility, have no emotional control, and are prone to hysterical reactions to minor events?”

        Why be intellectually consistent when you can exploit stereotypes for political power? There’s a reason that a growing fringe says the 19th Amendment was a mistake.

    Greg Biffle’s youtube: he’s at a friend’s junkyard in Vancouver, Washington. Typical old pickup truck stuff, and then, a great big Ram pickup that looks new: crew cab, short bed, nine feet tall, not a scratch on it.

    “Hey, what’s this?”

    “We’re parting it out.”

    “Whaaaa?”

    It’s got a blown up motor. If you could find a motor (you can’t, because they’re all blown up), it would cost [absurd number] and you’d still have to put it in. Not economically feasible.

    Get the fuck off my obstacle, Pyle

    The killing of a New York City cop is quickly becoming a problem for Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani.

    ——-

    Mamdani is facing his first full-blown crisis on his way to the general election, which is just four months away. He is now contending with a timeworn tradition in New York City politics — the recriminations that almost inevitably follow a civic trauma and the expectation that elected leaders be present when such a rupture occurs.

    “This is a reality check: public safety is literally a matter of life and death,” former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Mamdani’s leading general election rival, said Tuesday in an interview with POLITICO. “His positions when it comes to public safety are abhorrent and wholly disconnected from any responsible government approach.”

    Get up on that pile of bodies, rookie.

    • Sensei

      Islam’s family expects to hold a public funeral, according to the NYPD Muslim Officer Society. And funerals for murdered police officers have in recent years posed a challenge for elected leaders in the city.

      Pay no mind to the fact that he was off the clock and grabbing the usual “security” job reserved for the the king’s men on their off hours. Because the rest of us aren’t allowed the same 2nd amendment rights here in NYC.

    “Mamdani and certainly his supporters are going to have to be careful about how they engage this,” said Basil Smikle, Democratic political strategist who teaches at Columbia University. “It’s at moments like this where ‘defund the police’ — nobody wants to hear that.”

    RESIST

    In a rare public outburst on the Senate floor Tuesday, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker took his Democratic colleagues to task, declaring his party “needs a wake-up call!”

    Angrily screaming at two of his shocked Democratic colleagues, his words all but reverberating off the chamber walls, Booker blocked the passage of several bipartisan bills that would fund police programs, arguing that President Donald Trump’s administration has been withholding law enforcement money from Democratic-leaning states.

    “This is the problem with Democrats in America right now,” Booker bellowed. “Is we’re willing to be complicit with Donald Trump!”
