I thought the Astros were in a tailspin (they are). I can’t imagine what it’s like to be a Dodgers fan right now, looking at the wild card standings and seeing their name pop up. Still a long way to go, but that’s shocking. We’re just 9 days away from college football! And the EPL starts this weekend. The dog days are all but over. And that’s all I’ve got for sports.
I hope she’s got armed security while walking that line. She could get hurt in that dangerous shithole otherwise.
I’m curious how they’ll defend this. Texas is saying they’re doing it due to rapid population shifts after the last census, with no mention of political power. California politicians are basically saying they’re gonna do it to gain seats for the Dem party. How would that explanation stand up in a courtroom?
I hope they all end up in prison. For several different reasons.
I’ll believe it when I see it. And no, I do not expect to see it in my lifetime.
What a couple of assholes. I hope they spend the rest of their life behind bars.
Maybe we should never release violent criminals. You know, because they’re violent and unlikely to change.
They better fire up a bunch of nuke plants. It’ll still fail because the entire premise is idiotic heavy-handedness. But that won’t stop them.
“Why are you hitting yourself?” This is disgusting, and all too common on American campuses. It’s time to crack down on this kind of administrative malfeasance on college campuses and protect the students just trying to go about their days.
It might be time to test the validity of the pardons. They can start by going after those without pardons by compelling testimony from those who received one. Then charge them all with conspiracy and obstruction when they refuse.
I want everybody in this story to lose. I want the city to lose because it’s none of their goddamn business what happens on the private property. And I want Zuckerberg to lose because his private security people have no business stopping people and questioning them on public sidewalks.
Banjos ain’t gonna like this. I am indifferent. Why? Because the food sucks. But don’t tell her I said that.
Is this her best? That’s up for debate. It may be this one. They’re both fantastic. Argue about it in the comments. Either way, enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely back to school Thursday, dear friends.
‘“This is us trying to apply for free money — when we don’t quite qualify. lol,” she texted Reis, 47, according to a federal indictment obtained by the Arizona Republic.”
Criminal genius.
The only thing unsurprising about that story is that they didn’t call their company “Free Dodge Hellcats, LLC.”
Lawyer tip of the day:
Texting about your criminal activities is not a good plan.
While Envy is the most popular sin these days, Hubris is a close second. This is similar to the documents Tulsi released yesterday: more people just assuming they can get away with everything.
They won’t? I mean, CA Dems haven’t had to do anything but brazenly state what they want to do for 20 years now… why would they start “defending” anything?
And if the courtroom is the 9th Circuit, I’m sure the judges will only complain if they didn’t go far enough.
Oh yeah… now I remember what I was also thinking when I realized the topic — it might be much more interesting if OMB does manage to get both a mid-decade census (unlikely) and enumerate only citizens and legal residents (very very unlikely). That would affect the seat counts in California, I’d bet… and wouldn’t that put the cat amongst the pigeons?

I am normally not one for making new rules – but if a criminal has tons of facial tattoos that person should never be let out in bail or parole.

Can we have a corollary that we don’t have to listen to the political screechings of anyone with a septum piercing / ring? I could get behind that…
Be careful. Last time I wrote something uncomplimentary about tats I was told how old-fashioned I am.
I responded the other day to my kids “my 85 year old father, your grandfather, has tatoos. I don’t, how does that make me old fashioned?”
What’s wrong with being old fashioned?
In today’s day and age, I’d take it as a compliment.

DrOtto:
A decade or so back, at Thanksgiving dinner, my dad was talking about the girl that one of his brothers had living with him now. She was too young (I think there was a 15-20 year age difference), she was freeloading, and she was likely a prostitute since she had tattoos.
Sitting at the table were his daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter, all with tattoos. The conversation got fun at that point.
Yeah, I’d take it as a badge of honor.
Going tattless is the unique look now, anyway.
I started out disliking tattoos as symbols of membership in groups I mostly disliked, but the various outsider groups grew on me as I got older and realized how bad the insider groups were. Of course about that time tattoos started being in.
Now I dislike most of them aesthetically. Most are very bad art. Body art needs to take into account the fact that the body is not a flat surface, and that it moves. Most tats I have seen do a very poor job of this and end up just looking messy as a result.
I saw a mature woman, 50ish, shall we say, on the heavy side, dressed in summer wear. A tattoo on a sagging breast that said “Sexy”.
It was more comical than fashionable but definitely not sexy.
A reminder: As the body changes with age so does the message the tattoos convey.
So you’ve got 4 prostitutes in your family? WTF?
Fourscore: Rule 34 suggests *someone* finds it sexy.
(As always, I am not that someone.)
Last American Hero:
While my immediate family is small, my extended family is massive. One of my cousins organized a gathering recently, and had lists and counts. I have 24 cousins on one side of my family with a 20 year age range. Among them, they’ve got 20+ children of their own.
I’d say 4 prostitutes out of that is well within plausibility.
Wise advice, 4x. I think I’ll get it tattooed on my forearm.
A long time ago, I was friends with a young woman that worked in a nursing home. She said there’s only one spot on the body (between the shoulder blades I think) that doesn’t sag when you get old. That’s the only place you should be getting a tattoo.
I think a tattoo of the Nazis at the end of Raiders would age well.
I would never get a tattoo myself, but I don’t really care what others want to do with their bodies.
What I don’t like is the attitude that getting a tattoo makes you an amazing rebel badass or something. Some people do this and go around showing off to everyone and bragging about how painful it was.
And look, if you like your tats, that’s cool. But suburban late-30s moms have their kids’ names and little hearts tattooed on their calves… They’ve gone the way of blue jeans and leather jackets. Maybe they were a big symbol of rebellion in the 1950s, but now they’re totally mainstream.
They go to the night shift at Amazon or a trailer manufacturer.
Again… see California. Ludicrous energy bills and pushing for $8/gallon gas hasn’t broken their political supermajority yet, after all. Just fueled the exodus.
Upstate NY has been running on fumes for decades. California Dems are perfectly safe for at least the rest of all of their lifetimes.
New York should separate from it’s islands.

The couple’s Scottsdale-based fintech firm, Blueacorn, which the couple co-founded in 2020, processed over $12.5 billion in PPP loans — with somewhere between $250 million and $300 million going to the company’s ownership, including Hockridge-Reis.
Blueacorn received over $1 billion in taxpayer-funded processing fees for facilitating PPP loans but spent less than 1% ($8.6 million) on fraud prevention and only $13.7 million on eligibility verification, according to a congressional investigation.
Looks like the “legit” skim for processing the loans was enough to make them rich. Why put in for a mere $300k fraudulently?
“Republicans in the state have claimed it is tied directly to Democratic Governor Phil Murphy’s move to shut down the state’s nuclear and coal plants in 2017.
Murphy touted offshore turbines as the way forward, but none of them have yet to be completed due to issues around costs.”
That’s straight up retarded.
Cut them off from the rest of the states’ electric grids.
That’s straight up retarded.
Democrat, New Jersey – something is missing. Oh that’s it – corruption!
“none of them have yet to be completed” would actually mean all of them are complete. Journalismist literacy is appalling.
I think that’s common idiom?
It’s gibberish. The writer needs a remedial Reading class.
“The X have yet to be completed” is the idiom. “None of them have been completed” is also correct. But “have yet to be completed” is a negation of completion already, so saying that none of them have yet to be completed is a double negative of completion. None of them have yet to be completed is gibberish, but parsing it yields all are complete.
or not started which is probably the case.
Murphy is a retard. Jack Ciattarelli clearly won the election 4 years ago before the afterhours fix for Murphy.
I wonder if they’ll let him win this November or rig it again?
Of course they’ll rig it again – It’s a Democrat state.
Do they really need to rig it – when the voters are so predictably dumb?
They needed to find an extra 25k votes in 2021.
Yeah, my sympathies are low since they decided OMB joking about making them the 51st state was somehow the fault of their conservative party and it was better to sign on with WEF Globalist Poster Boy.
They voted for this — I’m fine with taking well vetted refugees at this point (and if their Western Provinces split, I’d say recognize them as nations and encourage the sane Canucks to go there instead of pushing our politics more leftward), but otherwise… their Procrustean Bed… lie in it.

I can’t argue with you. They’re the poster child for “sounds interesting… menu picture is good… but actual food is small portions and just disappointing”. Not terrible… but always, always disappointing.
ISTR JitB having the best fast food shakes, and the worst literally everything else. I do know people who had some weird neurochemical issue that cased them to become addicted to their “tacos.”
I thought that was Sonic.
*drops gloves*
I just recently had Sonic for the first time in over a decade — they now have two complete menus the “classic” and the… I forget what it’s called, but let’s call it the “trendy.”
The smashburgers off the trendy menu are faboo.
And cherry limeades justify the entire existence of the chain.
Their steak egg and potato burritos were the best fast food item of all time. I miss them so.
The shakes are the only thing worth getting a JitB. If you eat the food, you’ll develop a different sort of shake later until you have an emergency bowel evacuation.
C’mon now, that was thirty years ago! You got a beef with them or something?

Texas is saying they’re doing it due to rapid population shifts after the last census, with no mention of political power.
Uh huh, and you believe that?
No. But it sounds better than the California excuse.
Yeah, to a certain degree. Because I see the shifts happening here in real time, with certain school districts doubling in size over a 4 year post-covid stretch and others staying the same size.
There are a ton of cities and towns whose population has rapidly exploded due to migration here from other states and from other Texas cities. Those shifts can be evidenced with relative ease.
Also, what matters to a court is the motivation for doing something like this. If you openly admit it is for partisan purposes, I don’t know how it can be defended when compared to the place who can trot out a shitload of data showing their reasoning.
I’ll expand: Texas redistricting is done by the legislature. They can do this under the state constitution and they can reason it by giving up the data. California leaders are openly saying that they’ll abandon the nonpartisan commission’s districting and reallocate seats solely to give one party more districts, and they have no legitimate fallback position since they never made one to begin with (which was pretty fucking stupid, IMO).
Not to mention, the CCRC is part of the state constitution, which cannot be changed without the public voting on it. So for them to legally redraw their maps, they’d have to have 2/3 of the state house and senate vote for it and then pass by way of a referendum.
That might have been plausible, if Trump had never opened his mouth.
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/05/trump-texas-redistricting-00493624
Of course, what falls out of Trump’s piehole is irrelevant to the justification for Texas to redistrict.
I don’t care at this point. As I have said before the argument that Republicans should honor a list of unwritten rules out of a sense of propriety, or in order to avoid the Democrats violating those same rules, falls very flat after a century of the Democrats violating every rule, written or otherwise, to increase their power. Losing like gentlemen only preserves the system if both sides do it.
I’d be all for anything that killed off every partisan shitbird. It might not even be that big of a cull, though I tend to think it would.

Jack In the Box does suck. If anything else is available I will choose that over Jack in the Box.
I have never eaten at a Jack in the Box or a Whataburger. They do not exist up here.
I enjoy Whataburger but I do not seek it out. Their onion rings are quite good.
Our local Jack in the Box closed probably 40 years ago.
Same. I don’t know from west coast stuff.
But I am completely unsurprised at the story. Fast food seems to be dying in real time. Labor costs would be guess at what is killing it. Even those stupid order kiosks isn’t gonna save it when the food just keeps getting garbagier.
rhywun:
The other day, the girlfriend went to an afternoon movie. She went to the local mall, and was shocked that a local chain Irish restaurant was cheaper than the food court for lunch. I don’t get it anymore, fast food is more expensive than the low tier sit down places (that were the step up when I was a yute).
What if the only other option sells impossible “meat”?
Then it’s impossible that I would order it.
As a Twoscore I thought they had the best FF. Curly and thinner than other FF. Haven’t had fast food for many years now. OTOH I’m not allowed out too often.
Jack in the Box now owns Del Taco, so how long before they ruin them?
We had a Del Taco right by us that was fantastic, but don’t paint “Open 24 hrs” on your building and then close at 11 or midnight. They are now a Popeyes and we no longer have Del Taco in our region.
I would choose Jack in the Crack over Booger King. That is the only one worse in my opinion.
I just learned there was a BK in my town. It’s one of the empty shells lining the road leading out on the state highway; must’ve closed before I moved here a couple years ago.
They’re turning it into a homeless shelter lol – that is one of the few booming activities here. 🙄
I remember hitting up Jack in the Crack after closing time back when they had a 3 tacos for a buck deal. I don’t believe I ever ate one of those tacos while sober. l have not eaten at JitB in a very long time.
Haven’t eaten there in years but a guilty pleasure I once had was their tacos. They were cheap, and deep fried, don’t ask me how they did it
Oh, related to Upstate NY having amazingly good agricultural products — I was never a fan of soft-serve ice cream, but it’s fantastic here. Much better than anywhere* else. Because of the places here, I’ve tried VT, NH and MA, and those have all been disappointing. The nearest stand to my house actually has pretty crap ice cream, which is what keeps me from being even fatter than I am.
*the closest I’ve had to the good places here was at HarryPotterLand in Orlando. It at least had the correct texture.
Yeah I never liked it very much but that shit is everywhere across upstate.

Yo, let me speak to cookiepuss.

It won’t but that doesn’t matter. The whole point is to elect more Democrats. Gavin wants to ride this all the way to the White House and getting smacked down by SCOTUS will just make him brush off his “tuffgai” act to “fight back”.
Really, the bigger challenge isn’t the court, it is that this is a special election and the people of CA having to approve of bypassing the independent commission they established.
Yeah, I mentioned that above. The CCRC is part of the constitution. It can’t be abandoned without 2/3 of the assembly and senate approving it AND THEN being voted for through a referendum. I’d be surprised if they could pull that off quick enough to impact the midterms.
And once they get to that point, they’d still have to go to court and justify their openly stated partisan reason for redrawing districts to give Team Blue more seats. Somebody would slap an injunction on that so fast there’s no way it would wind through the courts quick enough to have an impact.
Does anyone really have standing to challenge a Team Blue redistricting?
Gavin better start growing a beard and practicing saying fuck on camera so it’s ready in time for the primaries. Mayor Pete already started his beard and Beto was cursing like a sailor, or at least how he imagines sailors curse. The testosterone levels of Team Blue are gonna be lit.
Kentucky is going to be all kinds of interesting this next election, what with McConnell doing this and Trump trying to have Massie primaried.
McConnell’s an absolute shitbird and regardless of how the Kentucky replacement race goes it’ll be nice to not have to see his turtle face stepping in front of the camera. As for Massie, he’ll likely be fine.

This here. Regardless of whether the boyfriend is stepping out, the relationship is toxic.
My middle daughter is dating a controlling asshole who is keeping her cut off from her family. He used to log in to her laptop and spy on her, and at least once got one of his friends to chat with her at work, and when she shared her Snapchat with the guy, he reported back and the boyfriend went ballistic.
So yes, TOXIC.

Mark Halperin Says Biden Allies Assigned Unflattering Nickname To Kamala
Mark Halperin said on Newsmax TV Wednesday that some Democrats close to former President Joe Biden refer to former Vice President Kamala Harris by an unflattering nickname.
Halperin said Biden’s team is ready to leak damaging stories about how they had to prep Harris for the presidency if she criticizes him in her book. Speaking on “The Chris Salcedo Show,” Halperin said Biden’s team harbors deep frustration over Harris.
It had to be frustrating for any West Wing staffer to have to deal with a codger whose best days (which weren’t very good) were well behind him, only to turn and see that the putative successor was a goddamn retard.
BTW, the article never states what the unflattering nickname was. “Veep Throat” was my favorite of the last few years.
“BTW, the article never states what the unflattering nickname was.”

I’d love to see a West Wing with that regime. Imagine Josh and Toby having to perpetually cover up for the President they knew was a vegetable and somehow twist that into a noble calling. Plus, the episode where Donna leaves after being groped and hair-sniffed by the zombie in chief would be a banger.
Have you not watched Veep yet?
Veep is possibly the best TV of all time.

I took a 1st round PPP “loan” because they essentially closed my business. By round 2, business was back up & thriving and I was hearing from customers I hadn’t heard from in years. The bank called me and said I qualified for round 2. I informed them I didn’t qualify (I forgot what the criteria was, but I wasn’t qualified for round 2 and was back up and running by then). They informed me “nobody is looking at current qualifications, just if you qualified last time.” I still declined. You can’t teach ethics/morals past a certain age. You either have them instilled in you while you’re young or you don’t. When you get caught up by your own greed, tough shit, you get what you deserve when caught.
I qualified and wasent going to touch it with a ten foot pole.

“First lady Melania Trump is threatening to sue Hunter Biden for $1 billion after he made the false claim that she was introduced to President Donald Trump by serial pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The first lady’s lawyer demanded that Biden ‘immediately retract the false, defamatory, disparaging and inflammatory statements made about Mrs. Trump.’
The younger Biden had parroted claims first made by Fire and Fury author Michael Wolff, who appeared on a Daily Beast podcast in late July, and said both Epstein and the president were involved with a ‘model agent’ who introduced Trump to the first lady.
The Daily Beast published Wolff’s claims in a story – and has since apologized for it.”

Melania should have taken the high road by replying something like, “Considering the source, a crackhead that has sex with members of his own family, his comments mean nothing.”

Swart added that the “vast majority” of people at political events in the nation’s capital are in some way compensated, whether directly paid or attending as part of their professional duties, including Capitol Hill staffers. “These crowds aren’t as ‘organic’ as they appear on TV,” he noted.”

My youngest decided to study forensic accounting because one of her HS teachers told her there would be tons of good jobs hunting down all the fraud committed during COVID. Sounds like that was good advice.
I sincerely hope they go after the banks and accountants that were pushing this crap as well as the idiots that did it. I spent that entire year getting yelled at by people who wanted me to prepare the paperwork because some ad, or their bank had convinced them that it was free money and no one was checking qualifications. My response of it’s still fraud, and they’ll check eventually was not what people wanted to hear.
I would bet that every bank that pushed this crap was told to by the Biden admin, and I would be unsurprised that it was done with a paper trail.
These idiots thought they had the next 50 years sewed up.

Got you. I will give him a slight pass on this, as every so-called expert was lying to his face about everything.
Still, I would not be surprised that this came down from Gov’t.
Warp Speed, Baby, Warp Speed. Vaccine will be ready in 90 days (can you make it 30?. OK, good.)
“City-funded Missouri grocery store—like those Mamdani proposes for NYC—shutters after viral footage showed rotting produce, empty shelves
The grocery store project on the corner of Linwood Boulevard and Prospect Avenue has been open since 2018, but not anymore. A sign posted outside the store stated, “Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we are no longer, at this time, able to serve the residents of this community,” per KSHB.

“unforseen”
School should not start until the last week of august.
The local commissars keep closing the pool earlier and earlier every year too. Its last day was the tenth. It’s hot enough here to have it open until October some years.
My boy will be pissed they closed the pool earlier again.
The WSU football team, in over 200,000,000 in debt come down from Pullman to use it for a couple weeks before they drain it.
School should not start until after Labor Day.
Fourscore remembers. End of summer was the day before and a holiday. By that time I was ready to back to school, to see old friends, meet new challenges.
100% Jamie.
Ours always started the previous week. Then a three day weekend to screw everyone schedule up.
Further adventures in GRRRRL PAWR-
Atomic Blonde. Asses were kicked.

Also- Hardcore Henry is a bizarre movie.
I liked Atomic Blonde.
Great soundtrack.
I’ve only seen clips of Hardcore Harry.
Looks like a trip.
Threedoor- interesting tire recycling thing yesterday.
I first ran across that about a decade ago.
It has to be a pain to scale up. And no doubt it dosent pencil out.
I burn a few a year if I can’t get them dismounted. Lots of energy in them.
Ahh, Duke Energy, you are such a lovely company… Apparently they have ‘forgotten’ to charge the gas recovery charge to me for a year, and a few million others, and have billed me an extra $400 this month to recover the past charges. I am no longer in the situation where this is anything but a minor annoyance, but there have been periods in my life where this would have been a disaster.
Buddy at work has same situation. Apparently, he ran it up and down and turns out was a legal scam agreed to by Duke and your utilities commission and watchdogs.
But hey, they donated 250k to their own non-profit!
Gas recovery charge?
And to add it to your current bill is absolutely devious
They generously allow you to call in to set up a 12 month payment plan for the charges.
They’ve got him cold (cut)
According to police, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent was in the area with other CBP agents and members of Metro Transit Police when the suspect, 37-year-old D.C. resident Sean Dunn, began yelling at the officer.
A police affidavit states that Dunn told the officer, “f*** you! You f***ing fascists! Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!”
Officials say Dunn continued his conduct for several minutes before crossing the street and continuing to yell obscenities at the officer. He then threw a sandwich at the officer and ran away.
He’s being charged with Assault With a Deli Weapon.
He’s the Hero they need in DC and no jive turkey.
Did he flee to the sub system? I hear that if they caught him he would really be in the grinder.
Y’know Shpip, if you to collect all of your puns and publish I would buy that book.
Donald has really got the left losing their minds.

INSURRECTION!!!!
I kinda miss the twitter.
The fact that they thought the military would stand up to Trump makes me think that none of them have ever met an enlisted serviceman.
I must be getting old and forgetful. I thought our military was under civilian control and the civilian, elected officer who is the commander in chief of the military is the….President? Did I get that wrong?
Outrageous
National Guard troops repeatedly rehearsed their role in an operation at a Los Angeles park intended as a show of force against undocumented people and those protesting the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, a deputy commanding general testified Tuesday.
Who ever heard of a military unit training for a mission?
No human is undocumented!

“Langford had been sentenced to 14 years in prison in February 2024 after being convicted on charges of robbing multiple people who were withdrawing cash from ATMs from August 2021 to November 2021.
However, in July 2024, Judge Jessica Green granted a request for what’s called “shock probation,” in which the surprise of being set free is allegedly what keeps a criminal from reoffending.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/dem-appointed-judge-convict-walk-now-accused-kidnapping/
WTF??
Even if the underlying idea made sense, wouldn’t the fact that these judges keep letting people walk free over and over kind of mitigate the “shock?”
The loony left strikes again.
“Last year, ICAN drew public attention to U.S. government studies on self-spreading vaccines. Now, ICAN attorneys have uncovered fresh details showing that DARPA’s INTERCEPT program funded the development of ‘therapeutic interfering particles’ (TIPs). These are engineered viruses designed to act as “tiny Trojan horses” that carry genetic material from person to person.”

WCPGW?
This is how we get zombies.
How you get an empty planet.
Lovely.
So…they are surreptitiously giving people medical treatment against their will. If you think vaccines are all they have in mind I have a bridge to sell to you. If one person were to die from this it would perfectly fit the definition of murder.
Taxation by any other name
The Nvidia revenue-sharing arrangement, in particular, sounded alarms among the U.S. business community — which tends to skew fiscally conservative and anti-regulation, and which in general welcomed Trump’s reelection last year. By demanding a cut of a private company’s sales, in exchange for the right to do business, Trump is defying the traditionally Republican gospel of free-market capitalism.
Democrats would never do such a thing!
I know absolutely nothing about this story, but the po’faced astonishment of the NPR journalismers is too precious for words. The government demands a rake-off for allowing you the privilege of doing business? I’m shocked. SOCKED! I tell you.
This is how we get zombies.
Not zombies. Reavers.

THICC Thursday.
I want to know who and how they managed to jack off a whale to get that measurement.
