You want to know what the skies are saying? Someone’s going to get stung or bit by something venomous tomorrow. That’s it. The rest of the week is clear.
Doesn’t “Jam Handy” seem like something Winston’s Mom refuses to do because that’s how you get ants?

I got nothin. I demand to speak with a manager.
Jeebus, anyone watching the Charlie thing? not one empty seat in that stadium. He is officially Jesusified. Ghandified. Whatever.
What pisses me off is that it took a horrific murder to wake people up. We just keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
We never should have let it come to this.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
We are still in a place where we can stop it without resorting to violence. We should take it. I hope that is what I am looking at on the TV.
I hope your last thought is right. I’m not sure.
There is something happening with the young people right now. A revival I guess? Some are buying the leftist propaganda.
A lot of others are looking for something else and going back to churches. Real ones, not the ones with rainbow flags out front.
Some are moving in one direction, some in the other. I don’t see any kumbaya moments ahead, just more violence. 🫤
LadyZ has it on. Lord if I’ve ever earned this level of notoriety, please dont turn my funeral into this.
Also screw Benny Johnson. Clout chasing shill.
Just to be clear, I appreciate how Charlie Kirk tried to do things the right way and I was shaken by his assassination.
It’s a bit much but it doesn’t come close to the Floyd treatment – yet.
Hey! Long time no see.
“Bewrayment” is my word for the day. Thanks, NA. When I was editing this I thought it was a typo, but I’m glad I did my due diligence.
You’re being turned into Fay Wray?
How ghey.
Huh, it does not appear in the “New Oxford American English Dictionary” on my computer. 😠
That Late P Brooks link at the end of the links thread is something.
Continued zero awareness of anything outside their world.
It’s Rolling Stone, but yeah, they are all like that. The quote pulled from the article is pure projection.
“Once they are demoralized you cannot fix them. They can only see one thing. No matter how much information you give them they cannot draw a sensible conclusion. Even if you take them to the camps and show them they will not believe it. They will only believe it when the boot is crushing their balls.” – Yuri Bezmenov
“This ditch is full of dead people. Why did you bring me here?” <—not hyperbole, not a joke
If you had told me thirty years ago we would have so many soviet style useful idiots I would have not believed you, yet here we are. Our press and one major political party have been subsumed by radical leftists.
Propaganda works.

I feel I can’t interrupt conversations with my inane thoughts.
Oh Noes, the Zoom zoomed away!
CPRM had to leave the in-person event, so the online event closed.
Trump deploying the guard in a Republican governed state is performative bullshit. Those governors could have called out the guard already (except their budget would have to pay for it), massed state law enforcement, and requested assistance from federal law enforcement. But all have to wait for Daddy Trump to do it.
To be fair, his calling it anywhere is performative bullshit. Those one-Party cities are not going to change their pro-crime ways because Trump told them to.
Unprecedented
Asked whether it was appropriate for the president to direct the attorney general to target his political opponents, Paul said that “lawfare in all forms is bad,” using a phrase to describe politically-motivated prosecutions.
Paul argued that the cases brought against Trump were “lawfare,” but he added that “it’s also wrong if Republicans do it too.”
“We need to get politics out of the judicial system as much as we can, but we can’t do it without acknowledging that the king of lawfare was Biden and so, yeah, it’s wrong if we do it, but it certainly was wrong when Biden and the Democrats were doing it throughout the country,” Paul said.
Democrats and prosecutors have repeatedly pushed back against conservatives’ claims that politics impacted the cases brought against Trump.
Trump was guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. Jimmy Kimmel is just a comedian.
I think the difference is that Trump is investigating actual crimes.
Democrats and prosecutors have repeatedly pushed back against conservatives’ claims that politics impacted the cases brought against Trump.
*laugh track*
Yea, it’s totally normal to suddenly bring up a bunch of obscure charges (that nobody else ever gets charged with) that all happened years ago but are only being brought to court the year he’s running for president.
As Dave Smith said on POTP when this shit was going on, “The wheels of justice turn slowly, and they’ve all just clicked into place right when he is running for president”.
Totally not lawfare. No way. Not even close. It was in no way whatsoever politically motivated.
https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4474774-hochul-tells-ny-businesses-not-to-fear-about-trump-verdict-nothing-to-worry-about/
Like it or not, the FCC can demand “fairness” on public airwaves. I heard today (I don’t recall exact numbers) something like 83% of Kimmel’s political jokes in 2023 were aimed at the right, and in 2024 it was 98%.
If people don’t like the FCC flexing its muscle, change the law and remove this power from the FCC. The entire Democrat party should support this right? Oh wait, none of them are because they like that power, they just want to be the ones to wield it.
Do I understand correctly….ABC has a license to broadcast over public airwaves? Does anyone watch over public airwaves anymore?
We get ABC through our ATT service, cable. If ABC gets their license yanked they will still be on the tv and probably not lose any viewers. Do I have that right?
My impression is that other networks, like FOX or Newsmax dont have licenses, they are strictly cable service.
I may not fully understand all of this very well and never really thought about it before.
Being a broadcast network triggers legal requirements that the cable companies etc. have to carry the local channels. Without the broadcast license they lose the automatic inclusion in basic channel packages and have to negotiate to be included.
So, this is why I bit the bullet and voted for Trump last time around. Either he’d do some serious damage to the Executive branch or he’d run it so heavy handedly that it’d beat some skepticism of government power into the left…so much that they’d actually reduce state power in existential fear.
I feel stupid for believing that now, but I can still hope.
The difference between then and now is the consensus of what was permissible and morally OK changed, and now there is no agreement on that front. And as one side controls the airwaves, no matter if they are shrinking, we have to go back to were there was enforced neutrality on publicly owned property.
Of course, whomever holds the whip hand gets to decide on what is fair and balanced.
@ Seguin:
I’m of the same mind regarding my Trump ’24 vote. For me, the political situation was like a game of pool where all the balls are jammed up in one spot and the game is not going anywhere. Sometimes you just have to shoot at the big mass, and it may not lead to a situation that is necessarily good, but you have to get things moving so that a road to victory MIGHT open up.
Trump definitely didn’t do all the good things he said he would, but he has done a couple good things. And some good things are just “due to” Trump but not “done by” Trump – e.g. the Left continuing to further unmask themselves as dangerous lunatics. But for all his failings, he’s still better than Heels-up Harris would have been.
I have plenty of criticisms of his performance, but I don’t regret voting for him.
That might go down as Trump’s greatest accomplishment.
@Akira I’ll agree there. I still don’t regret my vote yet.
There is no side that aligns with my views especially well. There is one side that hates me, and which I increasingly hate back. They vilify me for not enthusiastically supporting their every idiot idea. And they have a vision of the future which I know I cannot live in.
There is another side that is more or less ok with me existing but wants to do a bunch of very stupid stuff I don’t like. They tend to be dismissive of my objections, and even sometimes accuse me of being on the left for disagreeing with them, but don’t demand that I enthusiastically support them. They have a vision of the future that I can survive in.
How am I going to regret voting for him?
If you need a “novel legal theory” to go after someone, maybe you shouldn’t.
I like you Rand but jeebus you can be naive at times.

Ok ok, I had a few too many glasses of rum + canned peaches + club soda last night; no need to call me out in front of everybody.
“Sagittarius: The Chariot – Succor, providence also war, triumph, presumption, vengeance, trouble.”
I have my first tournament of the year next weekend, in Utah. This seems accurate.
The Charlie Kirk thing, I will take it but they are sainting him and the whole thing has that charismatic leader feel to it. My instinct is always to take a few steps back from that.
You’re not wrong.
As I said before, I can think of at least ten libertarians back in the day ( starting with a young Tom Palmer and David Boaz) who could shred Kirk’s views in a debate.
Meh, that’s pretty standard with people who are assassinated. King, both Kennedys, and Lincoln were all much less highly regarded alive than after being killed. Martyrdom is part of the sanctification archetype.
I’m mostly with (((Jarflax, but absolutely see the over-doing it, as well. Thought: It’s a chance to further thumb the Left with a suddenly available opportunity to show them how just how big the throng of people who are fed up with their shit.
I don’t think the statue idea is a good one, if serious. I reckon it’s also more salt to rub in. Laser pointer. Make them further double down on Kirk being evil, pissing off the masses that demonstrated their displeasure today.
Also brought up before: This is personal, as well as political, for Trump. There are worse things for a Prez to get rattled by and be prompted to vigorously pursue those responsible, in whatever way, for the assassination. (Yes, things always can go awry when doing something In The Moment, but with The People behind him, I can see its use in political 5D Chess.
Same. I can’t pinpoint exactly what part is irritating me so much about it.
Same with the guy who was killed at the Trump rally. Firefighter outfit on the stage and Trump kissing it like it was the robe of Jesus.
How about this Seguin? My instinct is to back off the instant I see someone trying to manipulate me emotionally. I slam the brakes on no matter who or what for. Dont try to manipulate my emotions.
Televangelists, Save the Children, shivering puppies…whatever. You lost me the instant you try some tear jerking nonsense.
Yup. It’s getting unseemly.
“LONDON (AP) — The U.K., Australia and Canada formally recognized a Palestinian state on Sunday, prompting an angry response from Israel, which ruled out the prospect.
The coordinated initiative from the three Commonwealth nations and longtime allies reflects growing outrage at Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza and the steps taken by the Israeli government to thwart efforts to create a Palestinian state, including by the continued expansion of settlements in the West Bank.”
W.T.F. Newflash the rest of the world doesn’t seem to understand: Palestinians are gypsy Muslims at best, and their fellow Muslim ‘neighbors’ hate them to the point of repeated deportation.
Why are they giving in to Hamas+? Is the answer really ‘cuz they hate Joos?,’ cuz that seems awfully too cookie cutter. (But so is history, with its constant rhymes, I admit.) I don’t see any End Game being worth giving the Muslim gypsy *anything,* especially as the region also hates ’em. Just poking another Middle Eastern hornets next, but I don’t see the ‘point’ behind any of it, besides as I mentioned. There isn’t any money in it, for instance.
Off with family for Dad’s 76th. Tomorrow’s is my sixth rebirthday, as it were. Kinda nice it’s my ‘Friday’ and I’m off for my weekend at 2pm.
I have a hard time forming a strong opinion on what should or should not be a nation state and where the borders should be.
Everyone has strong opinions on a few particular instances of disputed nationhood, but nobody has a principle that they are comfortable using in all cases.
In case anyone was unconvinced that Israel’s existence is in danger. I bet the rest of Europe falls in line followed shortly thereafter by much of the rest of the world.
The Soviets who pushed the “Palestine” nonsense that has torn the region apart decades are smiling in their rotten graves.
Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one.
“Is the answer really ‘cuz they hate Joos?”
It was good enough for tens of millions of Europeans a couple generations ago. And I can’t think of any other answer, really, that seems sufficient.
Ask yourself this: Is there any group other than the Gazans that could be rewarded with their own country based on their consistent and overt pursuit of the eradication of a neighboring people?
The UK and elsewhere has imported large numbers of Muslims and bows down to appease them so they don’t cause too many problems for the right people. Like other Arabs states, Pali support is high when they’re further away.
Also, typical leftist support for perceived victims of oppressors and infatuation of non-western barbarian cultures.
Cool. So the U.K., Australia and Canada are now supplying all food, water, medicine and electricity to the palestinians?
Quite the ending in Philadelphia. And it’s contagious.
What am I missing?
If you need a “novel legal theory” to go after someone, maybe you shouldn’t.
Look, we know he’s guilty of something.

Honey Harvest went smoothly, production was lower than we’d hoped for but that’s always the case, 6 of Richard’s button were distributed and one for me and Zep, so that’ll make it 8. I still have 4 left. PONick pinned himself right away.
PONick became the true unabashed and unchallenged leader for consecutive HHs. Jimbo tried to say it was for the total, which would have made him co-champ with Nick
but the Glib crowd erupted with boos and shouts of “Shame, shame” and Jimbo took his licks like a marine. The food was good and plentiful. Kinnath’s mead made for a lot of smiling faces. Some Glibs and wannabees convinced Kinnath to gift them a souvenir and were rewarded. CPRM pulled a zoom and we saw the faces of some remote
Glibs. Even non-Glibs wanted CPRM’s gift cards.
Weather was cooperative, no mosquitoes, no one got stung as bee activity was light. The locals pitched in, got the job done and mostly cleaned up and tomorrow we will be putting stuff away for another year.
