“Speaker Johnson warns government shutdown is on track to be longest in history”
Go Schumer!
Promises… promises…
You gave me…
Thank you. I was going to post that.
“Speaker Johnson says no quick fix to Obamacare subsidy ‘boondoggle’”
Obamacare is doing EXACTLY what it was designed to do. EXACTLY.
These evil people designed Obamacare from the get go to destroy any kind of private healthcare system, because they know the best and easiest way to completely own the unwashed masses is to make them dependent on an evil government for their healthcare.
I agree with your comment on the design — I wouldn’t say “exactly” since I think they thought the system would have collapsed and we’d be formally on Single Payer by now.
Those damned tax payers just going along with getting fleeced and the middle class not collapsing when they wanted it to wrecked their timeline.
“We have lots of ideas on how to fix it, but it is very, very complicated,” Mr. Johnson said, noting that roughly 15% of the U.S. economy is entwined in the health care system. “You can’t just rip it out at the roots and start over.”
Republicans have no ideas though and will eventually fund it anyway along with everything else.
“Israel releases more than 1,900 Palestinian prisoners as part of ceasefire deal”
Sucks, but I suppose the political pressure was too much. I do wonder if the Israelis did so on the theory that next time they see any of them, they are just going to kill them, though.
They sure as hell should start doing so.
I bet the 1900 prisoners were given free pagers
Augggh! I should have read just a little further before replying… Heh… well played, sir. Well played.
Grape mines think a light
I hope Israel gave them all free pagers before handing them over.
Oh, man, I hope they did give them all pagers. It’s not like to keep them and use them, so non-asploding ones would make the point. And it would be funny as hell.
I would prefer they gave them exploding implants by their carotids.
They should have returned 1900 severed heads.
With twenty deadly diseases.
Kipling thought of that.

COVID era subsidies nothing — I’m still pissed that these yahoos won’t go back to pre-COVID spending (at least) across the board. There’s really no justification, unlike wanting them to go back to 1990 or something (where they could whine about various programs, demographic shifts, etc..).. the country has not fundamentally changed since 2019. The military obligations have not gotten worse. The only thing that’s gotten worse is all the people / states / whatnot used to Free Federal Money ™ — and we don’t f’ing have it to give in the first place. So cut it out already.
Preaching, choir… I know, I know… just gets me every single f’ing time these DC wastes of a good suit hanger start bloviating about how tough it is to roll back one little tiny arc on the ratchet.
Morning anyway folks.
the country has not fundamentally changed since 2019
It may not have fundamentally changed in the sense you mean, but the masks definitely came all the way off in 2020.
“Portland: Hundreds of Naked Bike Riders Join Protest Outside of ICE Facility,/em>”
Two things everyone hates. Fugly naked douchebags and bike riders.
And ppl who don’t close their html tags, don’t forget those.
sniff…
Et tu Tonio?
It would be nice.
I’m sure as shootin’ not holding my breath.
Gaza just got 1,900 fresh recruits so yeah, nothing is “over”.
I’ve seen this play before.
“California Governor Signs Law That Allows Nonfamily Members to Remove Children From School”
I suppose other hopefuls are just keeping their heads down, but it’s hard to believe the two people getting the chatter for the Dem nom in a few years are Newsom and Kamala.
That law is horrifying and rage-inducing.
I could not believe what I was reading there.
Get your kids out of that place before they are trafficked, people.
It’s Epoch Times, so I didn’t read it. I’m not winding up on their mailing list *again*.
Well, Katie Porter did just push her way into the spotlight, so there is that.
(I know, you were talking about President, and she is going for governor, but you kinda start seeing a pattern.)
…you kinda start seeing a pattern
Narcissistic sociopaths.
Stupid narcissistic sociopaths. Don’t forget the stupid part.
“Oregon officials expect to spend $1.5 billion in combined state and federal taxpayer dollars on a program that offers health benefits to illegal aliens from 2025 to 2027.”
I assume that’s Medicaid, which means Oregon is spending around $500MM of its own dollars, and $1BB in matching federal dollars. Why the ever loving fuck is a single federal dollar going to health care for illegals>
And yet every Democrat is claiming that no federal tax money is going to illegals. (After they reclassified them as “legal” for purposes of showering them with money.)
Could they be lying? 🤔
The legal sleight of hand for the Biden migrants was that they were “paroled” into the country, essentially meaning deferred prosecution/deportation. As far as I can tell, at best their legal status is in suspense. Which still means they aren’t here legally, we’re just letting them stay anyway.
“Paroled”, yeah that is the word I forgot.
It’s all bullshit meant for one purpose.
Didn’t they just expand the definition of “asylum” to anyone who checked “asylum” on an app?
One more reason for Greater Idaho.
Nah — given this is drug interdiction, I’m sure it is more of a police action.
Wonder if they could swing this as a blockade? Presumably getting these speedboats intercepted might be a pain — but perhaps tell Venezuela to tell their “fishermen” they must all have radios capable of receiving on standard channels (one would hope this is true anyway) and then give them one warning to turn back if they’re suspected? If they don’t… do what we’re doing with at least the fig leaf that they were given warning and all… if they do, the drugs don’t make it here that way at least. Not as clear of a message, admittedly — but a tad more legal if it comes to matter (I doubt it will).
Speedboats, not fishing vessels. In international waters. Allegedly operated by terrorists (I don’t think it matters what they were smuggling). From a legal perspective, I’d say interdicting these boats is probably pretty complicated. I don’t know how practical it would be to try to stop and board them, considering how fast they are.
Yeah, I know they’re speedboats — I think some stupid pols / media was trying to say they were just fishermen (in dual outboard speedboats with no nets, naturally) and I was heckling that a little.
And yeah — I’m thinking that’s why we’re missile or drone striking them, hence the “radio warning… then blow them away” may be the next best option as interception simply wouldn’t be feasible.
All it takes is one Popeil Pocket Fisherman(tm) on board and voila you’re a fishing boat.
I e seen snipers in helicopters shoot out the engines.
That’s more fun I suppose.
It’s like dropping a bomb on your house because you are suspected of being a criminal.
Don’t get me wrong; I’m not crazy about this.
But with sufficient reason to believe that foreign nationals are terrorists (which is to say, illegal combatants), and they are doing terrorist shit (which includes smuggling drugs) in international waters, I don’t know that civilian standards would necessarily apply.
Is this what letters of marquee and reprisal are for?
A Letter of Marque would allow you to seize that boat and its contents and keep them – if owned by a named enemy. Still wouldn’t allow you to kill everyone onboard indiscriminately unless they were actively fighting.
One of those history channels had a multi-year series of how the US coast guard and the Dutch navy interdicted drug trafficking fast boats from Venezuela trying to run past their drug smuggler blockades around the Dutch Antilles (Curacao, Aruba, and St. Martin). The Dutch even went so far as to build a whole class of naval interception vessels to interdict these boats and stationed them in the Caribbean. The Dutch navy or the US coast guard would use helicopters to shoot the engines of the boats out in order for their own fast craft to be able to grab them if they would not stop. These foreign nationals would be caught, and after a while, be deported back to Venezuela, where they would then be caught in another boat a few weeks later. It was a game of lose-lose.
We now simply make sure there is no second chance for these people. I would love a TV series about that.
That’s like shooting down German aces over Germany.
More than 20 years ago, my BIL accidentally sunk a drug boat when his frigate (USN reflagged as USGC) lit up some jettisoned fuel tanks. They did pick up (and did not execute) the crew though.
Yeah — and one of the articles I read on it this morning said that districts were intentionally destroying emergency contact information over the weekend in anticipation. I assume so “ICE can’t use it against them” is the justification… but boy oh boy… nothing like “Pay a meth head on the street 30 bucks to say he’s the legal guardian and abduct a kid” made easy… No notary, no nothing… just an “affadavit” saying you pinky-swear you’re a guardian.
If I hadn’t already fled the state… I’d be fleeing the state.
The length Democrats are willing to go to in order to prop up their one-Party state is just breathtaking.
They will sacrifice your kids on the altar of cultural enrichers.
They are real good at fighting supposedly noble causes that always affect and impact other people. Never themselves. Tell them they have to pay for the healthcare or house an illegal alien, and they will Martha’s Vineyard your ass…
Child sacrifice for gain has a long history.
Where’d you flee? Guess I missed this.
I finally managed to move back to my house in Georgia to be near my parents like I’ve been trying to for a few years now. This was in the July timeframe.
Hmm… that sounded almost like “I moved back into my parents’ basement”… just to be clear, it is because my parents are in 4×20 range and Dad can’t drive any more and Mom really shouldn’t. So I’m about 15-20 minutes drive away now and can provide transport, be there for emergencies, etc.
Ah yes. Thanks for the reminder.
No surprise — hasn’t every state that’s tried this blown their budgets wide open in the attempt? Big reason to hope Vance or DeSantis manages to hold the White House in 2028… there can’t be a bailout for these states.. and I doubt they can hold on more than another couple of years before they’d need one.
Depending on how you do the accounting, these are net earners for the state, considering every state dollar they spend brings in two federal dollars.
I don’t know what Medicaid programs still exist to pay for illegals. If there are any, they need to be terminated. Medicaid also needs to say that, as a matter of simple fiscal hygiene, it won’t match any state dollars unless the patient has provided proof of eligibility (meaning, citizenship).
And I guarantee you there is a mountain of fraud involved in getting Medicaid to pay for illegals.
I can’t believe that tax dollars are funding illegals. I mean the Dem leadership wouldn’t lie to the ‘Murican people like that……would they?
1900+ more combatants, well fed and rested released on the battlefield.
Oregon, hey at least spending on illegals instead of cops means that the ODOT won’t have as many staffed weigh stations. That’s a damn good thing.
My first thought is that this would be a good time to break out the water cannon. The bikers doubtless could use a good shower.
Can you load a water cannon with pepper spray?
Because I see a bunch of naked commies doing stupid commie shit, and my first thought is pepper spray. Liberally applied.
Alternatively, some of that chemical compound that makes skunks smell like they do, or the one that makes corpses smell like they do.
Pretty sure the spray back would be a reason not to do that.
Naw. Any time the cops deploy pepper spray or CS in large quantities, they’re wearing gas masks.
The idea of a thiol/thioacetate spray (the compounds in skunk spray) is interesting, but those chemicals are adhesive and persistent as hell. You’ll end up making the entire area reek for days, which would be kind of a bummer for the people who work there.
Major disclaimer: my drive home is not long enough to hear all of All Things Considered.
NPR ran a long form piece celebrating the release of the Palestinian prisoners, including a weeping mother who didn’t get to see her convicted-of-murder-son because after being released those perfidious jooz deported him to Egypt.
I did not hear anything equivalent re: the Israelis. I did hear them use the phrasing “died in captivity” in reference to the hostages, ’cause really those weaklings needed to suck it up instead of choosing to give up and die.
All Things
ConsideredDistortedI’ve seen pretty much all of the major news outlets use the “died in captivity” phrasing instead of the honest “murdered in captivity” truth.
You really don’t hate the media enough.
I think a fair number of the hostages died because Hamas was using them as human shields. We’ll never know, of course.
We don’t actually know that all the live hostages were returned, either. There’s still a number (a couple dozen, I think) unaccounted for.
F’ing hell, man… and here I remember cars at least below $10k starting (I swear the Pinto and Civic styles might have been below $5k… but it has been a while). Nothing like home mortgage level loans for something that depreciates 30% the moment you drive it off the lot…
Thanks government and mandated $20k worth of computers, radars and other shit! If it saves one life, right Booty-edge? Assholes.
The first car I ever bought was a Nissan 4WD pickup, and I remember it was just under $10K (in 1987, true). In current day fiat, that would be just under $30K.
Hard to believe the dollar is worth 1/3 of what it was when I started working.
Sakes alive!
1958, a Onescore paid $2200 for a brand new Mercedes 190 sedan in Germany. Brought back to the states free by my uncle. No radio but a heater. I could
drive a four speed at that time. Kept it 6 years, traded it in on a ’64 190, which listed at $2700 US.
Probably closer to 4x the price, RC. And of course the CAFE standards have been changed to the point that similar sized pickups are even sold here today.
I remember my parents buying a 1985 4×4 Suburban in 86. Silverado trim, buckets, air, tilt, everything except the overhead console and rear air.
$4500 for a one year old used car.
My dad bought an 85 big block 4×4 one ton GMC for less than $5000 off the lot.
CAFE Standards and safety standards compete with eachother to drive weight up along with prices.
My first new car was a Chevy S-10 for just over $8K in ’97. It was a bare bones, heater and key model.
No radio, power locks/windows or AC.
The only thing I really missed was the AC. Oh, and it was a stick. I hate manual transmissions.
I’ve never bought a new car.
Newest I have had was five years old and that damn thing was almost $60k
Bought a new bike in 04 that was the previous years model. That paid off as I got ran over and then it got stolen.
Jeez, Three: there’s a country song.

We cannot for certain pinpoint the anomaly but we are certain it is not 2006. To be determined if it is 2015. Time will tell.

“The Democratic Socialists of America — the organization backing New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani — denounced the “conditional” cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas and called for continued resistance against the Jewish state in a statement released Monday.”

You can read the whole commie thing here:
https://www.dsausa.org/statements/until-palestinian-liberation/
What are the chances that Mamdani will be anointed as president? I remember when Obama was. He was the most unlikely, out of left field, unelectable commie shitbird in the country and yet….he was anointed. He got elected president the same way I did.
Now a new commie shitbird…same profile but even more so.
M’dami was born in Uganda, no chance.
Suthen, Obama was anointed a savior in Illinois over a decade before Pritzker bankrolled his presidential run.
Rahm Emmanuel was anointed at roughly the same time. I could never understand what either one actually accomplished at the time. After a while I realized their accomplishment was just volunteering to be a total stooge for The Party.
He was on the heels of Baby Bush. Pretty much the dems could have put up an empty chair and they’d vote that way
I’m not 100% sure Obama was born in the US. The shenanigans around his birth certificate make relying on that, well, unwise. The alterations made to the released .pdf are suspicious, to say the least. The best argument for it seems to be that the timeline most likely places his mother in Hawaii at the right time, if memory serves.
So, being born in Africa may just be another point of similarity with Obama.
RC, I’m not sure Obama is his father. He dosent look much like his dad or brother.
Gaza was “liberated” in I think it was 2006 and they used the years and billions of dollars in aid to dig tunnels and prepare to attack Israel.

“Larry Bushart, a 61-year-old former police officer, posted the offending meme last month. In response to a Facebook post about an upcoming vigil for Kirk, Bushart shared an image of President Donald Trump with the quote, “We have to get over it,” which Trump said in January 2024 after a shooting at Iowa’s Perry High School. Text added to the image said, “This seems relevant today.”
According to the Perry County Sheriff’s Office website, Bushart was arrested the following morning on a charge of Threats of Mass Violence on School Property and Activities—a class E felony punishable by between one and six years in prison and up to a $3,000 fine. Worse, Bushart’s bail is set at an astonishing $2 million.”

If that post was the only reason for his arrest, it is ridiculous. It’s also possible he did something else to catch the charges.
Nope, the sheriff even stated its a not against the law but went ahead with the arrest anyway.

Uffda. Glad I’m going to die in my own home, because Minnesoda DFL pols have totally fucked up the nursing homes here.
Get ready to be surprised, but it seems that the DFL takeover of the nursing home industry when they controlled the Gov, the House and the Senate might not work out as planned.
Honestly, there is just too much outrage fodder to be able to quote properly.
In a nutshell, the pols gave unions all the power over nursing homes and – amazingly – the unions raised wages to the point that everyone is going under.
Well that settles it. We all know how well the fast food industry in Cali is going.
Nursing homes are crazy expensive as it is.
They are going to drive the price to zero, as well as availability when they all close.
If the jobs can’t pay enough to support a single-income upper middle class family they shouldn’t exist.
As long as there is one industry left to kill, their work is not done.

I’m not waiting around for shit like that!
Not when I have a sneak preview of Mexican SS’s Saturday beer review!
“On Tuesday, the United States Supreme Court rejected Alex Jones’ appeal of $1.4 billion Sandy Hook judgment.
In April of last year, Infowars host and founder Alex Jones joined Steve Bannon on The War Room the day after undercover video revealed a CIA-FBI operative explaining how the FBI used their powers to bankrupt Alex and Infowars….
Families of those killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting asked a judge to liquidate Alex Jones’ media company, including Infowars, immediately after the legendary talk show host announced the federal government is orchestrating a forceful takeover of his broadcasting studios.”

Everything about that shooting was suspicious af. Including this lawsuit.
“Democrat Sarah McArthur, a self-proclaimed “veteran” and “corporate administrative law judge” turned school board wannabe, was captured on video hurling a disgusting slur at a conservative voter right in her own yard.
The video, posted by Tracy De La Rosa, shows McArthur referring to conservative voters as “MAGA faggots” after being told the homeowner would be voting for her opponent.
De La Rosa, a former state representative candidate herself, confronted McArthur about her ties to Emerge New Mexico – a nonprofit organization whose mission is “to increase the number of Democratic women and non-binary leaders from diverse backgrounds in public office through recruitment, training, and providing a network.””

MAGA faggots?
MAGAotts?
I’m amazed that this is the first time I’ve heard that…
Do the “non-binary leaders from diverse backgrounds” have to be Democrats too or am I parsing this silliness wrong?
I’m reasonably sure that all queer and non-binary are democrats anyway.
No, they are allowed to be Democratic Socialists, Revolutionary Communist Party members, Maoists, Hoxhaists, and Khmer Rouge as well.
“The company announced plans to remove artificial colors and flavors from Doritos, Cheetos, and other popular products as part of a broad push toward what CEO Ramon Laguarta called “naked” or “NKD” snacks.
Laguarta told Yahoo Finance that the company wants to address what he described as a “deficiency of fiber” among U.S. consumers.
“Fiber will be a big trend,” he said. “Consumers in the United States have deficiency of fiber, and we’re innovating in fiber.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/10/pepsico-announces-maha-makeovers-doritos-cheetos/
Excuse me, I have to go innovate in fiber.
You really don’t need fibre at all.
I have 300Mb fiber. Is that enough?
I think they were called Fiber Arts in school.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said Monday that a COVID-era expansion of Obamacare premium subsidies Democrats want to extend is a “boondoggle,” and there is no quick fix Congress can enact.
You can repeal Obamacare.
I’m all in, but that won’t be “quick”.
What? And desecrate the memory of John McCain?
Yes, please!
“In the lead-up to the bill being signed into law, the call from the left went out to school districts throughout the state to disappear, destroy, or conveniently lose all emergency information forms connecting a child to a parent. San Francisco, Chino Valley, and other Southern California school districts began expunging their records.”
WTF?
I wonder if there are any anti-state agitators in CA who would ‘sign out’ the kids of some state legislators, take them out for an ice cream sundae, and return them back to school with a cautionary tale for mommy and daddy?
Sure, why not? The law pretty much makes kidnapping legal.
Perhaps it is exactly what it sounds like.
Meanwhile in Madagascar.

For you car nuts
I’m just not into technic sets.
A Lego Bugatti Chiron might be slightly more interesting to me than a real one. I couldn’t really say. Is it powered by a Harbor Freight diesel?
If I want an “art car” and feel the need to flex I’d buy a Pagani if I had that kind of cash.
Instead with that kind of budget I’d have a bunch of classic cars instead.
Alex Jones needs to stop whining. 1.4 billion dollars seems a reasonable penalty for hurting somebody’s feelings. In the Caliphate they’d rip his tongue out with vise grips.
Cuck of the year
Definitely not staged at all, nosirree.
It is on the Internet, of course it is true and 100% accurate.
Democracy dies in darkness
Today, NPR will lose access to the Pentagon because we will not sign an unprecedented Defense Department document, which warns that journalists may lose their press credentials for “soliciting” even unclassified information from federal employees that has not been officially approved for release. That policy prevents us from doing our job. Signing that document would make us stenographers parroting press releases, not watchdogs holding government officials accountable.
No reputable news organization signed the new rule — not mainstream outlets like NPR, The Washington Post, CNN, and The New York Times, nor the conservative Washington Times or the right-wing Newsmax, run by a noted ally of President Trump. Some 100 resident Pentagon press will be barred from the building if they don’t sign by the end of business on Tuesday.
The strangest thing about this petulant rant? It is plainly labelled “opinion”.

Nice that Marshalls provided the knife too.

I watched a customer buy $140. of lottery tickets yesterday.
I told the cashier “an optimist would have only bought one”
Why stick $140 a week into your IRA or 401k when you can invest it to have 70 chances in 300 million to win the lottery!
Instead with that kind of budget I’d have a bunch of classic cars instead.
I’d buy a Renault R5 turbo and a 2 million dollar garage to park it in.

Going back to that thing Pope Jimbo linked yesterday about the woman ordering food, I thought afterward about her likely fate if she pulled that routine in a New York deli. The outcome would likely be similar, assuming somebody from behind the counter didn’t get to her first.

Dimly resilient.

Unforeseen
A strong storm moving across Southern California is expected to bring a significant amount of rain Tuesday, triggering a flash flood watch for much of the region.
As rain drenches the region, there is concern for the burn scar areas from the January wildfires, especially in and around Altadena.
The system is expected to bring several inches of rain by Wednesday morning.
On Monday afternoon, evacuation warnings were issued for the Eaton Fire and Palisades Fire burn scar areas due to the possibility of mud or debris flows.
Warnings were also issued for the Hurst Fire in Sylmar and the Sunset Fire in the Hollywood Hills.
At least the people haven’t moved back into harm’s way.
The mud will still find them.
