Well. the first week of the NFL season is officially in the books. MLB has a few weeks left of theirs and all eyes are on the AL West, NL West, and the AL East, although all three contenders in that last division will still make the playoff. UEFA WC Qualifying is almost through the first window. Germany might be in trouble. And England will be tested today before everybody returns to league play this weekend. And that’s pretty much all I’ve got for sports.
I’m surprised they didn’t’t use the word “pounce.” I suppose it’s to be expected by now that these outlets never report what happened, only that Team Red is somehow bad for using it to try and change things. You don’t hate the media nearly as much as you should.
No, CBS. The Law allows them to. The court merely explained that to the activist judge who wanted the enforcement of our laws stopped.
The circus has come to Florida. I really hops the judge tells this nutball he’s not allowed to defend himself. Otherwise, whatever happens in this case will be appealed about 2 minutes after there verdict.
I doubt there’s anything that can be done. But yes, this is absolutely a scandal of epic proportions. No wonder I had to find out about it at the NYPost instead of the first three places I get links from.
This has been happening for ages. Funny that it’s just now making the news. Well here’s a nugget: they’ve never really cared what these people sell. They were just shaking them down for money. I’m curious if this is more of the same or they actually mean what they’re saying.
In a just world, this would lead to ropes being tossed over lampposts. In California, it will result in the status quo remaining in place after the next elections.
Has Maduro never read anything by Harper Lee?!?!?!?! Just kidding. Funny how it only took one blown up boat full of narcoterrorists to get here.
Great piece on the corruption that is mail-in voting. IF only the government had the stomach to do something about it.

Yes.
Wildly different.
We can start with them killing people who burn their holy book. Or with stoning women to death for going on an unchaperoned date. Or for being gay.

There are similar rules among most religious texts, the difference being that most don’t still hold them as binding due to later books. Well… except for some asshole Evangelicals.
/looks over at Jack Chick
Then there’s the “feel free to lie to the unbeliever, and rape them, and enslave them” and a bevy of rules to that effect. And the “it’s okay to marry little girls to forty-somethings, so long as they’re at least nine”
There are similar rules among most religious texts
Well you see, we interpret God’s message a little differently – it isn’t so much a matter of what He said, it’s how We feel about it.
ji:
I remember a group of Evangelicals who agreed that the King James was the LITERAL word of God. No wiggle room, no questions, but the exact and perfect words claim that when the Bible talked about wine, they really meant a non-alcoholic jelly. They did not like it when I pointed out that in the time of King James, they had words for both jelly and wine.
The words on the page were written down by men from memory. Re-written by men in transcription. Translated by men into the closest approximation in other languages. Men are fallable, so the exact words may not be correct, though I expect the effort was made to preserve what each person thought the intent to be.
UCS:
I agree. But it is a tenant of their belief system that God would not allow an error through, and all the writers were divine inspired.
Neph of course it isn’t about God at all. No organized religion is – it is about the organization.
UCS, Mohammed and Joseph Smith disagree with you.
Oops, forgot Moses too!
So Mo gets a “Revelation” that just so happens to serve his own personal interests every time he needs one…

Jimbo, Being judged for the association with Tonio probably improves both our reputations.

Obviously association with anyone else only helps me. I didn’t mean to imply that Tonio would drag down my reputation.

As long as they keep this silliness amongst themselves who am I to care. But as their numbers increase I think we all know where that leads. See: most of western Europe.

I feel the same way about the Sharia courts and the Orthodox Jewish legal systems. As long as the people are using it for arbitration, everyone agrees to it, and (most importantly, and usually overlooked) there’s no coercion (being kicked out of the religion doesn’t count) I’m alright with them.

“even as data show violent crime has decreased nationwide”
From astronomical highs caused by the plandemic and still much higher than before it.
It’s amazing how America is simultaneously experiencing a “gun violence epidemic” and “nothing to see here move along”.
Given the deliberately fudged data, and the “if we don’t take a report, it’s not a crime” attitude, I can’t even believe the official numbers.
Yup… I’m sure by the official numbers, shoplifting was way down in California until recently as well. If no one bothers to report it because no one does anything after all….
But murder one cute girl on video and all Hell breaks loose. Even the president gets involved. 5 murders of young black men in Chicago, slow week end.
But if you point out that black guys are killing each other in blue cities, it also highlights the failure in those cities and communities.
People are more able to ignore it because most of the time the dead guys were commercial rivals in the same criminal activities as the perpetrators. It’s easier to handwave away dead gang members.
It is almost impossible to have an honest discussion of crime in the US. It’s just the way it has been my entire life.
And it’s not going to get any easier with the surge in “asylum seekers” who have, uh, different ideas about law and order than what used to prevail here.
most of the time the dead guys were unluckily standing somewhere roughly in the vicinity of commercial rivals in the same criminal activities as the perpetrators
The marksmanship of that profession is not historically great.
And here I thought those commercial rivals were just good kids that loved their momma, went to church that one time, and planned on going to college.
Local news was hyperventilating about a shooting that happened before the Browns opener. Except it happened in another area, at a light rail station, at 0030 local. They did get their fun on Sunday though, there was a “mass shooting event” when a reported bar fight spilled out onto the street (at around 1815) between a bunch of people who need range time. 40 shots fired from 4 guns, with 6 wounded.
The mayor ordered the bar accused of where the fight started boarded up and closed, the owner of the bar is saying there were no disturbances there, and the problem was that the city didn’t have enough police to handle the overcrowding (it was after the game let out). He’s also claiming the mayor (who is black) is targeting his business because he’s black.

The Mano Nera is back in Cleveland? What is this 1912?
Another example of “we cannot have an honest discussion”.
(((Jarflax:
Back when I knew most of the staff at the bars downtown, it was the Greeks and the Russians who ran organized crime in the area. The Italians still had a small piece, but were considered better to just leave them alone. This seems more just poor impulse control.
One guy I was talking to while getting up to the game was talking about gun violence (we were all joking about the “threat” of the 0030 shooting), and his point was “Back in the day, we’d go outside, fight and be done with it. Now everyone wants to break out a piece and start blasting.”
Cleveland used to have a lot more than just Greeks and Russians in those type of organizations. There was a significant Croat mob, and the Poles and Hungarians had beneficent organizations that shall we say, branched out a bit.

Koreans in Georgia greatly relieved!
Hey – Their government is chartering a flight to bring them home. FedGov is going to call it a voluntary deportation and they’ll be getting the correct visas and they will be right back.
It will let South Korea save face and hopefully stop companies globally from playing these games. I do, however, feel bad for the employees. They likely thought their employer was correctly handling the the visa requirements.
That’s the Fuyao Glass business model which is also based on the concept of “insourcing” as prefaced in the movie “The Campaign”.

Saw a quote yesterday from a speech given by “the president” about how you can’t let in millions of unvetted illegals and expect sunshine and roses, and it received thunderous applause from all sides.
It was Clinton from 1995.
Ol’ Bill was a dirty moderate who believed in actually appealing to American voters rather than import those necessary to more progressive rule. He could not move up in today’s Democratic party.
Bill was an opportunist. Remember, he won because Bush I was clueless about a recession in the rust belt and Perot poached half his votes. He then tried to nationalize healthcare the first week.
Only after getting skunked in the 94 election did he do a hard course correction to the middle. And like Sanders, believed illegal immigration was depressing hardworking union wages.
Bill stole welfare reform from the Republicans and they hated him for that. And he had the sense to know when the electorate had moved, and he moved with it – unlike the Pure who know that electorate must be whipped into conformity/submission.
“hardworking union”?
Kinda like “military intelligence” or “dry water”.
Clinton had a knack for for watching whichever way Congress was going, then jumping out in front and pretending like it was his plan all along.
See the “Balanced Budget” as the most egregious example.

“”Charlotte, NC Mayor Vi Lyles says she’s disappointed that the video of the shocking murder of Iryna Zarutska “is now public” and thanked media outlets for not “sharing” the brutal footage.
Appalling: While Lyles now pretends the blackout was to show “respect for Iryna’s family,” her statement two weeks back to a local news reporter makes it plain her concern was for the vagrant arrested for the deadly stabbing….
he tape leaves little doubt that deranged ex-con Decarlos Brown Jr. did it; Lyles lamely claims he “appears to have suffered a crisis” and blames “problems with society safety nets” as she insists, “We will never arrest our way out [of] issues such as homelessness and mental health.”

Did she fall in a vat of bleach?
Maybe we can’t arrest ourselves out of this but if so we’ll need to shoot our way out.
You can arrest your way out of this. Three strikes and you’re in for life for three violent felonies or major property crimes.
Why give them three strikes?
Because there’s an optimism that some people will reform after their first offense and not become chronic recidivists.
Because after three strikes, it is a near certainty they will never reform and will continue to offend and escalate if left free. Not as much of a certainty with one or even two offenses.
That’s going to fail because of our compassion (both Christian and secular/proggie).
If someone has committed a murder, violent rape, armed robbery, or a battery resulting in serious injuries, they can reform in prison and thereafter be a reformed person serving out their life sentence. Lesser offences, sure we can let them out at some point.
If someone has committed a murder, violent rape, armed robbery, or a battery resulting in serious injuries, they can reform in prison and thereafter be a reformed person serving out their life sentence. Lesser offences, sure we can let them out at some point.
Murder – Absolutely should be a life sentence. Although most murderers have committed multiple felonies before the murder.
Rape, armed robbery, battery – making the punishment for those the same as for murder will just result in a lot of dead rape victims, robbery victims, and assault victims. Because if the penalty for those is the same as for murder, then the murder is free (what are you going to get, double life?) and conveniently eliminates the witness.
I would be willing to bet that you get vastly more murders by releasing rapists and armed robbers that you get by ‘making the murder free’, but it doesn’t really matter because the point is punishment and removal of those who have demonstrated their inability to coexist with others at least as much as it is deterrence. A person committing a violent rape, or an armed robbery has demonstrated that their impulse control is not sufficient for deterrence to work. Remove them from society, and spare victims 2 and 3 the life altering trauma.
Why give them three strikes?
Are we saying we now trust the government to get charging and sentencing right, just like we do with the death penalty?
They should have elected Emacs Lyles instead.
Then you’d get a whole buch more bloated programs that you did.

In any case he is waging war on the US. Trump is returning the favor.

“Mary Trump, the niece of President Donald Trump, wrote Monday that it is “definitely” her uncle’s signature on a suggestive birthday note to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The White House denied it was Trump’s signature after the 2003 letter was posted on X Monday by Democrats from the House Oversight Committee.”

How difficult is it to forge a signature?
This is the same Mary who has terminal TDS? She’s not an unbiased witness.
Mary Trump is also well-known as hating her uncle, and has colluded multiple times with Democrats to try to smear him. She and her uncle have both sued each other, with her suit being dismissed.
That is what popped in my head first. If they are going to her to add credibility they achieved the opposite.
True about Mary Trump, but how can anyone know if it’s real or not? There are countless public examples of Trump’s signatures.
You’d need to see contemporaneous examples to compare it to, for starters.
Aside from being wildly out of character, who types their name on a personal note before signing it? Did he use his middle initial on such things? Who types a personal note? Are there other contemporaneous examples of Trump doing this?
A full analysis requires the original document itself, of course. Much can be told from the ink and paper itself.
And all of the time of the Biden Administration and the rest of the Dem lawfare, this just sat quietly?
When you get caught fabricating wild accusations over and over again it makes no difference if the genuine article appears or not. You have zero accredibility, at least with me, My assumption right out of the gate is “They are lying again”.

So a young woman gets butchered on a train, and the JournoList now (finally) has their talking points:
A black man killing a white woman proves white people are racist.
Only if they complain about it!
You are definitely not allowed to notice that while black men make up around 6% of the population, they are responsible for around 50% of violent crimes and murders. Because that statistic is definitely racist.
Quit trying to distract people from the REAL problem of someone saying something rude on Twitter by discussing meaningless things like violent scum who have been arrested and released a dozen times going on to murder some entirely innocent woman minding her own business on public transit.
How dare anyone ever point out our hypocrisy.

New test scores from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), also known as the Nation’s Report Card, show eighth-graders’ science scores have fallen 4 points since 2019 and 12th-graders’ math and reading scores have fallen 3 points in the same time period.
The tests were administered between January and March 2024.
This is the first NAEP score release since the Trump administration began making cuts to the U.S. Education Department. Those cuts, included laying off more than half the workers at the Institute of Education Sciences, IES, the arm of the department charged with measuring student achievement and overseeing and processing the data that comes from the tests students take.
——-
“Scores for our lowest-performing students are at historic lows — continued declines that began more than a decade ago,” Matthew Soldner, acting director of IES, told reporters. “My predecessor warned of this trend, and her predecessor warned of this trend as well. And now I am warning you of this trend.”
But do the children truly comprehend the unbearable shame of whiteness?
Clearly, we need to give more money to the same people to keep doing the same thing.
I’m willing to give them a dollar’s worth of lead.
Scores would be even lower if not for the selfless dedication of so many brave bureaucrats.
that began more than a decade ago
What? During the glorious and perfect Obama years?
Twelfth-grade math scores dropped the same amount as reading scores and were 3 points lower than in 2005, the first time this version of the math test was administered.
“These results should galvanize all of us to take concerted, focused action to accelerate student learning,” Soldner said.
Shovel more money into the furnace!

“The claim that “physical activity” is an “underlying medical condition” that increases a person’s risk of “severe COVID” showed up in the New York State Department of Health’s guidance to pharmacists and physicians on how to circumvent Trump administration policies so that all New Yorkers ages 3 and up, regardless of health, can get COVID vaccines….
In six steps, the guidance explains how to prescribe “patient-specific orders” for COVID vaccines “off-label,” meaning for purposes the Food and Drug Administration hasn’t expressly authorized and lists the conditions that trigger the state’s strongest recommendation that a given group “should” be vaccinated, one of which is “physical activity.”

“New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, whose daughter-in-law has been a lobbyist for pharmaceutical companies since the Democrat took office, declared an emergency in an executive order “expanding access to vaccines amid uncertainty” about federal vaccine policy, which she claims will “allow pharmacists to administer COVID vaccines” for “at least 30 days.”
If you end your emergency rule, I will implement my own emergency rule!
We are being ruled by a clique of passive-aggressive teenagers.
Now do ivermectin….
Anyone can get a vaccine from their doctor if they want one. The Trump policy only ended the “free” vaccines at the pharmacist.
The CA/OR/WA/HI health alliance is going to be so fucked. They have not only reinstituted mandates for the vaccines, but eliminated parental consent. Give this 6 months and when the first adverse reaction lawsuits hit and they don’t have FDA/CDC recommendations to hide behind, they will get good and fucked.
Narrator: They will not actually suffer any consequences.
They are transing your kids and aborting their babies without parental notification. This shit seems minor in comparison.
“The federal government is in a unique position with these test scores to be the scoreboard of American education, to tell us what’s happening and for whom,” says Nat Malkus, deputy director of education policy at the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute. “[That] doesn’t mean that it has the capacity to fix these issues. That’s a job for the states.”
What if the federal government stopped giving them money to spend on counterproductive nonsense?
Tear down the scoreboard? Then how we will ever know how we’re doing and more importantly how we desperately need to spend more money!

Shortage of drugs, hookers, or working hotel ice machines?
Everyone makes huge profits from an organ transplant, except for the donor or the donor’s family.
Maybe changing that would result in more organ availability.
You know who is to blame for the growing gender gap in STEM (post-pandemic)?
Farm Women! Specifically stay at home moms.
What about the gender gap in nursing and primary education?
What about the gender gap in construction workers?
Fishermen? err Fisherpersons?
Garbage men.
As long as we agree women are to blame I do not care which particular type of women.
After how many years can we talk about maybe chicks are just not that much into it?
Maybe a lot of little girls would be interested in getting into STEM if they only could see a career in biology included living pink dildos?
I was out for a walk this summer and went past a local elementary school. There was a sign out front for their “STEAM” camp. It reminded me how pissed off I was that the STEM discipline was being watered down and made meaningless by adding “Art” to it.
I’m sure they only attracted a bunch of punks.
Wait till they replace the M(ath) with M(usic).
Everyone knows that Art and Music are way more important to kids than the 3 R’s.
I just red on the Romanian internets that today is an auspicious day where wishes come true become in is 9.9.2025 and if you add the digits in 2025 it is also 9. According to numerology this is the bestest day.

Revenge Killing
While revenge killings were legal (for Samurai) in the Edo Era, you still had to apply for a Kyokasho許可書, permit, to legally avenge yourself. A permit had to be obtained from your lord.
If you were traveling to a different domain for revenge your Lord would have to contact each of the three top officials in that domain:
The head of Temples and Shrines
Magistrate/ Chief of Police
The Chief of Finance
Your application for revenge had to be logged by the police
After the killing you would likely be arrested and tied up. However, since you had received permission, your name would be in the official police record, so you would be released with no charges after that was confirmed.

“Oi mate have you got your revenge loisence?”
In modern usage it just means “revenge”.
And you thought the paperwork for concealed carry was bad.
I wonder if there is a waiting period for one of those permits?
“Look buddy, I know you want this today, but come back in three days and I promise you the revenge will be so much better”
Love the list of people who had to be paid off if you wanted to off somebody in their ‘hood.
Messiah du jour
State Rep. James Talarico entered a crowded Texas Senate race on Tuesday, the latest Democrat vying to take on the monumental task of flipping the state.
——-
But Talarico, the former middle school teacher and seminarian who grew up the son of a single mother, has attracted significant attention since he flipped a Trump-leaning state House district in the Austin suburb of Round Rock, winning it by 2 percentage points in 2018. He has since built a viral video presence leaning on his theological background and scored a coveted sitdown on Joe Rogan’s podcast in July.
Now Talarico will test the power of the attention economy to mobilize Democratic donors, volunteers and voters in a state that has long been out of reach. An eighth-generation Texan, Talarico said he knows there’s a steep path — both to the nomination and the Senate — but he’s ready for a challenge (he once walked 25 miles across the length of his district twice, holding three town halls over 10 hours).
He’s going to flip the state? What does that even mean? Is he going to bring the heathen masses into the light and save their souls?
When is the first Democrat going to win in Texas by overtly catering to Cali imports?
At campaign events they would fly USC banners, etc., etc.
Cali imports have to be a significant demo in TX by now. At least as big as the Latinx bloc. Someone needs to pander.
Emily Cherniack, the founder and executive director of New Politics, a group focused on backing candidates with public service backgrounds, said Talarico is not a “D.C. consultant candidate that is Colin Allred, who already spent $94 million and lost.”
Beto only spent $80M to lose to Cruz. Clearly Talarico needs to crack the $100M mark in a loss.
The survey — which was conducted from Sept. 2 to 6 — found that, including leaners, on the question of who people would support if the contest “were held today,” a whopping 46% of likely New York City voters chose Mamdani, compared to just 24% who selected Cuomo.
Even with Adam’s 9% it’s done.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mamdani-takes-commanding-22-point-lead-over-cuomo-new-poll
I mean why not? Seriously what are the downsides? the voter might just get it good and hard… Unless one lives there it may be amusing.
What will be even more amusing is his antics when he can’t get anything done and starts taking criticism from the left.
“Godammit, we elected a no-fooling commie and he isn’t even socialisming right!”
Good. Let them get what they vote for, good and hard. Stupidity should be painful.
WTF is George Will!
The only caveat I would bring up is that Mamdani’s supporters are all young. They tend to have a terrible track record of actually showing up at the polls on Election Day.
Maybe this is somewhat mitigated by mail in voting now.
If Cuomo can scare the geezers with some story about how Mamdani will cut their pensions, he might still win.
It is a puzzlement – if the dead will vote for Cuomo or not.
JI:
This could be a historic election. The dead might be voting TWICE for the first time.
It is good to be the King’s Son
Yes Jeremiah is the son of Brother Keith our AG in Minnesoda. I’m sure that that has nothing to do with this story though (or of Jeremiah winning a council seat in the first place).
The upshot is that Jeremiah will lose all his seats on committees because of time commitments, but he can still vote on the full council (if he shows up) and get his entire salary.
I’m at the point that a lot of the voters in large cities like Minneapolis, Chicago, and New York are okay with this type of shit. The alderman and city council members are corrupt to the core and throw it in our faces everyday but for some reason they get voted back in and there aren’t any protests to get them thrown out of office once their corruption becomes public.
There seems to be a certain cultural thing (dare I say I say, in certain demographics) that actually admires overt corruption and the resulting flashy conspicuous consumption, perhaps as some kind of proof of how “successful” the politician is?
That Mexican saying about how a poor (impoverished) politician is a poor (lousy) politician.
I think it has a lot to do with how much of the loot gets “redistributed” back into the precincts.
The dirty pols make sure to throw around enough spoils to the local enforcers and supporters that even when caught nothing happens.
As long as they don’t get too greedy they stay in power.

Everyone who advocates for “walkable dense cities” with mixed zoning must understand they work when, and only when, people trust each other and don’t mind living close together and sharing stuff, like subways and buses and that only happens if you punish, lock up, and remove the bad actors.
You can’t have your abundance unless you put at the very top of the policy pyramid zero tolerance for disorder. Your citizens must trust each other or else your dense cities means fetid dangerous cities that few want to live in, other than the super rich who can buy private security
https://x.com/Chris_arnade/status/1964639892899566026
Is that a hippy bus? I don’t listen to no hippies.
Have you already been here? That’s a good description of most of our big blue cities.
Shouldn’t that be at the very bottom of the policy pyramid? You know, the foundation, on which everything else depends?
I assume the top is mean to be the most important… the first you have to accomplish.
Then use a different metaphor.
R C Dean:
They don’t understand what a metaphor is.
Neph:
Simile when you say that punk!
You want walkable cities with close jobs and grocery stores to homes?

France’s Macron seeks new prime minister after government’s collapse
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/frances-macron-seeks-new-prime-minister-after-governments-collapse-2025-09-09/
it seems to me there is a lack of interesting discussions on the France question on this site. Don’t be so insular.
Macron is another Eurotard who wheeled, dealed and cheated to stay in power. He would see all of France burn as long as he stayed in control.
Yes but irrespective of who would be in his place, France has massive debt massive deficit despite taking in like 46% of gdp as tax revenue (the highest among OECD countries) as they spend 56% of GDP and the people (TM) refuse any cuts and do not want their pension age increased from 62 to 64
Yes, that is an enormous problem. It is made worse by importing an entire class of individuals who put even more pressure on their social safety net. They are going to fall, just like Greece did. Only it will take down the Eurozone. Germany cannot save them.
Germany might go down the toilet before France does. They are royally fucked.
Because as Americans we don’t care about France.
It would not kill you to be a little more cultured. Food wine fashion etc.
Oh, I like French wine, cheese, restaurants, etc.
I just don’t give give a shit about the country.
no gratitude for all they have provided you. sad.
Macron denies he is “a man of culture”.
“Because as Americans we don’t care about France.”
This is true.
Who?
What Gaul!
Doh! Should have scrolled through all the comments before adding my bon mot.
Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres.

Local lawyer calls out Hennepin county DA for disparaging his clients. Probably a too local story, but it might interest others here because:
a) Radley Balko is tangentially linked to it:
b) Nothing Left to Cut Dept: The podcast – govt paid for – in question didn’t have a big following.
I haven’t really read much by Balko in a while. I’m not saying that he should have kissed the ring of Trump or MAGA but there were a lot of legal and ethical malfeasance going on with COVID and Russiagate, but stayed silent.
Balko going full TDS was a great loss. I remember the good days of the Agitator.
He was the guy who really woke me up to just how shitty our criminal justice system can be towards those who aren’t able to fight back.

For me it was personal experience, friends’ stories (such as a concealed weapon charge for a giveaway mini-bat rolling under the passenger seat of a car he was driving), and Copwatch zines being handed out at shows.

“Surveillance footage recovered by detectives from the early hours of August 23 showed Thompson leaving her white SUV and walking from Jasmine Terrace down Riggs Road toward University Boulevard. She was seen talking into a business’ parking lot on University Boulevard, where she approached the driver’s side of a black GMC Yukon Denali and appeared to speak to the driver. She walked around to the passenger side and got in the front seat…
Authorities believe Hernandez-Mendez killed DaCara Thompson in his bedroom in the morning hours of August 23, and then drove to Rt 50 between Rt 424 and Rt 97 and threw her body off the bridge. Per WJZ, charging documents said that a roommate recalled to police “hearing the defendant having sex” and then “a grunting noise which made it believe that someone wasn’t enjoying the sex.” A search warrant of the home uncovered what police believed to be the victim’s blood and a missing fingernail, as well as hair and other evidence, including “multiple pairs of women’s underwear and lingerie.””

Fun fact on the Portuguese empire: after decades of negotiations to try to get Goa peacefully, India just sent in the army in 1961
Portuguese dictator Salazar ordered for the completely outgunned defenders to fight to the last man
The prudent governor surrendered 36 hours after
https://x.com/Valen10Francois/status/1964653280463839445
What claim did India have on Goa? Post-British India is not a continuation of some previous entity. The British consolidated a bunch of warring fiefdoms. Goa was not part of it.
And?
People who facilitate crime angry that Trump wants to put a stop to it. Why is this news?
Howdy, fellow denizens. I’m feeling normal again, after a remarkably epileptic yesterday. No seizure, no injuries. A bit of a spectacle on the floor of the aisle, tho. I don’t think that’s where most expect an “SOS” call, but it was heeded quickly and with kindness. No one even tried to call 911, thankfully and no sarc. That woulda sent me to a very unhappy place.
Off now to pick up the Kia Sportage to my anti-Kia mechanic. Time to get to know her a bit better. Should everything go well, the purchase’ll be made tomorrow. On paper and with my current knowledge of the car, it seems a damn-good progression from the ’13 Chevy Malibu. Shall see.
Mamdani in NYC got the crucial Bernie Sanders endorsement. Fucking pinkos. Christ. Ya spent you fucking honeymoon to the still-extant Soviet Union and you haven’t changed. (Other than massively enriching yourself with others’ money, natch.) And people ‘still’ listen to you?! Why?! (Ah. It’s religious and Sanders has been sanctified. Duh.)
New York deserves it good and hard. Apologies to Rhy and UCS+. What a fucking pissie commie shitshow.
Did you check with your insurance agent about getting coverage on it? I’ve heard it can be difficult to get full coverage on Hyundais & Kias since they get stolen often.

They are guaranteed to make the playoffs based on Nations League standings, even if they finish 3rd or 4th in their group.
Man, Chicagoans have been peeved at the Feds ever since that busybody Eliot Ness and his buddies snatched Capone off the streets in a totes attack on Democracy.
Why can’t the govt just let Chicago have the vibrant community that they want?
Except now it’s the professional “activists” that NGO’s have hired to put on a display of righteous “anger”. Actual Chicagoans were probably not consulted.

You can’t fight in here, this is the War Room
Aprivate dinner attended by dozens of administration officials and close advisers to President Donald Trump was temporarily marred by a dramatic clash between two of Trump’s top economic officials, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at one point threatening to punch top housing finance official Bill Pulte “in the fucking face.”
——-
But amid the cocktail-hour din, Bessent lashed out at Pulte in an expletive-laden diatribe. The Treasury secretary had heard from several people that the Federal Housing Finance Agency director had been badmouthing him to Trump, a person close to him said. He wasn’t about to engage in chit-chat as if nothing was amiss.
“Why the fuck are you talking to the president about me? Fuck you,” Bessent told Pulte. “I’m gonna punch you in your fucking face.”
I’m kind of impressed.
Gays starting fights at dinner parties?
no love for the Vikes this morning.
They shed their Cloak of Haplessness in the second half.
Not sure the Vikes shed the Cloak of Haplessness as much as it was torn from them by the Bears.
If only Trump had the Natl. Guard in place, it might have prevented that mugging.
The Bears just got tired of tackling, that’s all.
You forgot that JJ also didn’t have the arm strength to throw any more pick 6’s.

Voice in the wilderness
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said he was compelled to publicly dress down Vice President JD Vance, a fellow Republican and former colleague, over the “disdain for human life” shown Saturday in an online post praising a deadly strike on alleged drug traffickers.
After Vance said the strike on a small Venezuelan boat was the “highest and best use of our military,” Paul lashed out Saturday night: “What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial,” he wrote on X.
Paul told reporters Monday that the message was in keeping with his long criticism of unchecked U.S. military power and questioned whether the attack, which reportedly killed 11, was legally or morally justified.
That’s so cute.
Let’s issue letters of marque.
I could live with that sort of public/private partnership.
Sure Paul has a point, but I’ve also been enjoying the dunking on X over him appealing to “To Kill a Mockingbird.”
Disposable face masks used during Covid have left chemical timebomb, research suggests
Millions of tonnes of plastic face masks created to protect people from the spread of the virus are now breaking down, releasing microplastics and chemical additives including endocrine disruptors, the research found.
As a result, the very equipment whose use was intended to protect people during the pandemic now poses a risk to the health of people and planet, potentially for generations.
And of course, we all caught covid anyway.
“But I think what really ticked me off and got me going,” Paul continued, referring to Vance, “was for someone to glorify the idea of killing people without any due process and saying he just didn’t give a shit what anybody who was going criticize him was going to say. That to me was a disdain for human life and a disdain for processes.”
Oh, c’mon. Some people just need killin’. Everybody knows that.
He reviewed the disposition matrix which has been the standard since Obama. What more do you want?

House Republicans voted on Wednesday to authorize a select subcommittee to investigate the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack and potentially the previous Democratic-run Jan. 6 committee, a move that came more than seven months after the panel was first announced.

Just checked and the import price has come down quite a bit. Or it’s knockoff.
I was examining the cost of new toilets at Menard’s one time, and the employee walks up and starts talking about various features of the model I was currently looking at. Then he says, “But this one doesn’t have the WiFi connectivity like that one does” and points to another (more expensive) one. I thought it was a joke and started chuckling. Nope, “Smart Toilets” really have become a fucking thing.
A couple weeks left of baseball.
Good. It can’t be done soon enough.
The local talk radio station is owned by another that has a total of three stations, rock 96.5 FM, 95.5 AM News Talk, 950 AM News Talk.
The latter two play the same stuff.
Baseball and girls volly ball step on the talk.
I turned on the radio and it was baseball, so I went to rock, it was Rush, which is neither good nor rock, so I turned it off.
After about six or seven minutes I turned the rock station back on, it was the DJ explaining that the AM side was down and apologizing that I couldn’t listen to the game do to a lightning strike, then he went off the air.
That was God punishing you for playing Rush on your rock station and playing a baseball game on two radio stations over the scheduled talk radio program.
Yep. You’ve only got another month and a half of baseball. It’s almost done.
And then the AM will go on the fritz because the sun and the clock don’t line up anymore.

Save the public healths
Pull incentives like the Pasteur Act offer a fix.
This bipartisan legislation would support novel antimicrobial therapies through a subscription-style model, where the government pays companies upfront for availability of new, critically needed antimicrobials.
This approach ensures that antibiotic makers can continue providing new treatments regardless of the sales volume.
However, we can’t strengthen our defenses against outbreaks and bioterrorism without a robust public health infrastructure. This means ensuring stable funding and staffing at every level, from federal agencies to local health departments.
