Ohtani won the NL MVP unanimously again. Judge won in the AL, which kind of surprised me. Trey Henderson went off after Mike Vravel said he was gonna be given a big load last night. And across the pond, more teams are punching their card for the World Cup, and more will follow over the next few days. This raised a few eyebrows. I’m sure they’ll replace him with an AD from an SEC school and help the committee “correct” their rankings to get another conference member in the playoffs. Lastly, there’s a rumor that UCLA and Ohio State will both wear their home uniforms tomorrow night in Columbus and I really hope that happens because I’m gonna be at the game and that would look really cool. Right, that’s it for sports.
What an interesting piece. You’ll notice that they threw in blame for white people gentrifying the neighborhood. And no responsibility is given to the parent for anything. Nice job, AP.
Nobody is above the law. Or so we were told endlessly for 4 straight years by the people who no longer want the law applied to them.

Evictions are not unilateral events, they are the result of the tenant not meeting the terms of the contract of lease.

A bunch of stuff happened in her life and that made it impossible for her to make her kid show up to school or do his work so she decided to home school him, which in this case apparently means letting him do school work at home, or at a home schooling group unattended, but he didn’t do the work and it was hard so she took him back to the same school he had already not attended. So in a nutshell, nothing happened at all, and anyway it isn’t her fault.
Presumably the three kids receive SS.
Thanks to federal laws protecting homeless and evicted students, her kids were able to keep attending their Atlanta schools…
WTF? Why is this a federal law? Also, as long as laws like this exist they will be used to justify keeping the USDoEd.

Then again, it’s 15 years old, so I can see why her health might be failing now.
She’s only 33.
“Earlier this month, HyunA revealed that she had embarked on a rigorous dieting regimen. On 4 November, she posted a photo of a scale showing she had lost approximately 10 kg (22 lbs) in one month….
Many have linked the fainting to this rapid weight loss and the physical demands of her performance. The condition known as vasovagal syncope—which HyunA has previously spoken about—was suggested as a contributing factor, especially under conditions of low stamina and dietary stress.”

“Baran told the San Francisco Standard that she found hundreds of dead mice, cages covered in rodent urine, mounds of trash, and a freezer filled with deceased pets.”

“We accept that our edit unintentionally created the impression that we were showing a single continuous section of the speech, rather than excerpts from different points in the speech, and that this gave the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action,” the statement said.
Sure it was “unintentional”. Who doesn’t join together two parts of two different statements an hour apart and make it appear as if it wasn’t said at the same time.
“No one paid any attention to what was said in between, so we really were only highlighting the important parts.”
Mortgage Fraud Again?
Did they hold a seminar and everyone got in on the scheme?
It isn’t often that the Ayn Rand villains are caught in their own snares.
The other talking point I keep seeing repeated is “Everyone does it!”
Then everyone should be prosecuted.
Speaking as a person who has never committed fraud, I do not see rampancy as a defence, but an exacerbating factor. Increase the penalties.
No silly, only Trump should be prosecuted.
“No silly, only Trump should be prosecuted.”

The woman who told the House Ethics Committee that she had sex with then-Rep. Matt Gaetz at a house party when she was 17 years old, all but ending his national political career, lived part-time at a Florida homeless shelter with one of her parents and turned to selling her “companionship” to buy braces for her teeth.
The still-unidentified woman’s circumstances were detailed for the first time by her lawyer to the New York Times after a federal judge unsealed documents in a related civil case that described the alleged victim as a “then-homeless 17-year-old high schooler.”
https://nypost.com/2025/11/14/us-news/matt-gaetz-sex-case-teen-started-sex-work-to-pay-for-braces-report/
Doesn’t medicaid pay for braces?
“The girl took a job at McDonald’s to make extra money, but also lied about her age to make an account on SeekingArrangement.com, a website that primarily connects older men with younger women for “sugar daddy/sugar baby” relationships.
It was through Seeking Arrangement that the teen met Joel Greenberg, then tax collector of Seminole County, Fla. and a friend and political ally of Gaetz, in 2017. According to the Times, citing court documents, Greenberg paid her $400 at an initial meeting on his boat and also gave the teen ecstasy and implored her to try it…..”
A Jew with a boat? Did he also go hunting?
“The Justice Department declined to prosecute Gaetz after a prolonged sex-trafficking investigation that ensnared Greenberg, who pleaded guilty in May 2021 to charges including child sex trafficking, wire fraud, stalking and conspiracy and was later sentenced to 11 years in prison….”
A pimp’s love is different than that of a square.
“As for the girl, Wolf told the Times that she moved to Texas to live with a family member and continued to work minimum wage food service jobs, eventually saving up to buy braces.”
All is well that ends well?
Doesn’t medicaid pay for braces?
I don’t know for sure, but I doubt it. Medicaid isn’t all that generous – which is why the socialists never say Medicaid for all even when that is exactly what they are proposing.
All our kids braces were out of pocket.

As much as I take shooting seriously, it is very good to have a “silly” match from time to time. We had our backup gun match last weekend and just seeing the variety made it worthwhile. The guy who won the autoloader division was running a (actual Walther) PPK/s, the geezer who has the most gorgeous guns brought out some sort of revolver that I still don’t know what it was but it was gorgeous (assuming it was a Ruger because of the pushbutton cylinder release, non-fluted cylinder), and other guy brought out a mirror-polished Diamondback. So very shiny.
I am NOT interested in adding calibers at this time, but there was a Browning “Black Label” 1911 in .380 that was suspiciously quiet and the guy shot it very well.
Is .22LR an option? Or does it actually have to move something like a steel plate?
The biggest downside of running .22LR is that the timer doesn’t reliably register the shots. It works off sound and they tend to be quieter (as far as gunshots go).
.25ACP it is!
For this match, .22LR would be fine, but nobody brought one.
I am not a big fan of the 380. Eurotards like tiny, feeble pistol rounds for some reason…”You dont need all that!” mentality. The TV show “Tool Time” used to make fun of that. I am the tool time guy. I like robust pistol rounds and big, heavy flat nosed bullets. I think 45 acp is a moderate round.
Still…I used to have some 380s and hand loaded for them. At close range they have a surprising amount of punch. I had some 100 grain plated bullets that would zip through 3/4 plywood easily. I remember shooting a junked refrigerator through the bottom and it came out of the top in a nice round hole. That is two sheets of probably 12 ga sheet metal, two inch and a half insulation, one glass shelf and the plastic drawer.
That’s nothing to sneeze at. I still want my 10mm and 45acp carry though.

Serious journalism.
Abandoned the Cubans at the Bay of Pigs, then proved he wasn’t soft on Communism by playing brinksmanship games with nukes in Turkey and Cuba, backed down and removed the missiles from Turkey in exchange for a BS promise that the Soviets would remove the missiles from Cuba? Much glamourous.
Absent all the other stuff, good and bad, Kennedy signed the bill allowing government employees to unionize. For that, he deserves an eternity impaled on Satan’s barbed cock.
On the other hand, he was a pathological misogynist and drug addict. So not all bad…

“A groundbreaking study has found a common virus that effects more than 90 percent of the population could trigger a devastating autoimmune condition suffered by Selena Gomez and Lady Gaga.
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which most people are exposed to at some point in their lives, is best known for causing the contagious viral infection ‘mono’ (often called the ‘kissing disease’ as it is spread through saliva).
But scientists have long suspected that it may also play a role in autoimmune diseases and researchers at Stanford University recently looked at its link to lupus.”

As bad as the war on obtainable pain relief is, the restriction of blue juice is equally frustrating. One of our old GSDs suffered a spinal injury and was in excruciating pain.

Anthropology professor David Kozak was caught flipping off students during an unhinged meltdown, appearing visibly upset at the Associated Students of Fort Lewis College’s (ASFLC) decision to reverse its initial denial of the TPUSA chapter just days earlier, which was triggered by a petition that amassed over 1,000 signatures, according to Rocky Mountain Voice.”

COP30 Needs a Security Upgrade and Better Air Conditioning, UN Says
I was promised a luxury junket.
Wait, you mean security didn’t fire on the attendees to create the false flag event the warmists want?
Sorry, we removed the AC to lower the climate cost of the convention.
so the climate conference, after clear cutting square miles of jungle and installing AC etc will get cancelled.
Perfect.
Last year, McNair and her three kids were evicted from their beloved apartment in the rapidly gentrifying Old Fourth Ward neighborhood of Atlanta. Like many evicted families, they went from living in a school district that spends more money on students to one that spends less.
Money per pupil, the single most meaningful measure of a quality education.
Need I continue?
Baltimore City spends the most per pupil in Maryland …
Chicago Public spends round $30k per a student and we see the results.
NYC is up to $42K. Keep that in mind the next time the unions go on and on about “class sizes” as if it has anything to do with anything other than money.
Silly rabbit. The most important metric is class size.
Can’t have 30 kids in a class (what was normal when I was schoolin’). Has to be under 20 or you schools suck.
LAG* I didn’t read the article.
Did they mention how much this mother read to her kids? Or worked with them on their homework?
Parental involvement is the main factor that determines how well kids do in school. Parents who care have kids that do well. Parents who think it is the school’s job have kids that don’t do as well.
Shoot. LAG = Like a Glib
Ahh equality. They get the same vote as man though, right?

Good luck with that.

At least they ask unlike the US.
After decades of self-loathing propaganda they expect people who won’t even mumble the words to their national anthem to pick up a weapon to defend their country. lol
Also thanks to RJ for last night’s instructional video. Highly educational. Much red paint.
You are welcome! I thought you would enjoy the jest. I do promise I will play some of your actual requests next time.
Do you have a list of what has been shown and current requests?
Yes! It is in the Forum. I have an Excel sheet there that I update quarterly. It also has comment stats, because that is how I roll. You can download it if you want and look up movies you didn’t know about.
Thanks. I found it.
Does government count as a religion?
Drop in U.S. Religiosity Among Largest in World
Faith in SNAP and welfare replaced hope for manna from heaven. Sounds about right.
The Capitol is the Temple of Democracy.
Midtown is a high school so coveted that school administrators investigate student residency throughout the year to keep out kids from other parts of Atlanta and beyond. For McNair, the day Elias returned to the high school was a momentous one.
Maybe you should be asking why all those other schools suck so bad, AP writer, but they probably didn’t teach you stuff like that in journalisming school.
Jeep Goes on Defense With 12 Limited-Edition Buzz Model Wranglers in 12 Months
Sure. More mall crawlers will definitely stop the bleeding.
Over 80 freaking Gs after delivery for a Wrangler. No thanks, I’d barely be able to afford the sure to be needed tow truck.
But it’s got a Hemi and heated seats!
At least the lesbians and their dogs riding around in the things will be comfy.
For one with a Hemi and all the options? Yes. It’s half that for a functional one with the old V6. I still like the Gladiator.
So Jeep is stealing market share from Subaru?
RJ – I had one with the minivan V6. I still liked it. Rubicon soft top and half doors.
The problem is for anything but real hardcore offroad the the Bronco with IFS gives you everything the Jeep does, but with much better on road manners and and as crappy as Ford quality is – it’s better than Stellantis.
They had a cash cow that they didn’t need to do much with. Now rather than creating a no frills 4×4 they’ve doubled down on luxury crap and big motors. The margins are better that way, but for that kind of money you’ve got lots of options.

McNair, the first person in her family to attend college, studied theater management. Her job rigging stage sets was lucrative until the writers’ and actors’ strike and other changes paralyzed the film industry in 2023. The scarcity of work on movie sets, combined with her tendency to take in family and non-family alike, wrecked her home economy.
“That job sucks. We’d rather see you starve.”
According to somebody I met in Livingston, Atlanta at one time had a bustling film/teevee business ecosphere. Not no mo, I guess.

From the sidebar of Sensei’s Jeep link:
Vintage rally cars and zingy four-cylinders go together like peanut butter and jelly—or, to use a more appropriate comparison, gravel slung at high speed and slightly buzzed race fans. That’s why the new Boreham Ten-K engine exists. It’s a 2.1-liter lump with individual throttle bodies, dual-overhead cams, and billet internals. Extensive lightweighting helps it come in at just 85 kilograms, or roughly 187 pounds in freedom units, and it hits peak power at 10,000 rpm.
——-
Boreham refers to the Ten-K in its press release as a “motorsport-derived, belt-driven twin-cam with modern electronics.” It features all the typical top-shelf components, like a crank, cradle, dry sump, cam cover, and rods made from billet material. And because it’s a total clean sheet design, Boreham developed it with “F1-inspired” port geometry from the start. That descriptor has become about as cliche as “military grade” when talking about trucks, but the company insists that it optimizes gas flow and power delivery. Finally, modern manufacturing techniques were implemented to keep the weight down; Boreham “sculpted” the engine block closely around the internals with help from 3D-printed casting technology.
“Clean sheet design”?
Sounds like a “reimagined” Cosworth BDA with an ECU.
See this issue of Powertrain. There is a push for all things mechanical going on with many of the traditional engine makers. There are many hybrid and full electric powertrains out there, but we are still at the pinnacle of ICE innovation.

Turns out that Minneapolis missed its chance to become a Socialist Utopia because of SPLITTERS! The spin has been that the two major Somali clans feud so much that the non-Fateh clan voted for Frey just to prevent Fateh from winning.
I’ve been reading about that since the election. I haven’t seen this new twist though. (((Frey))) manipulated the tribal divisions like his sneaky kind does.
Now send the Somalis packing back to Somalia.
Fast rope them out of Blackhawks. Make sure the rope is about 40’ off the ground.
Vicious amoral tribalists are tribal? Who knew?
Good gravy what a mess they have made of that place.
“Starting today, the Jeep brand will unveil a new limited-edition Wrangler model on the 12th of each month for the next 12 months—an integral part of our yearlong Twelve 4 Twelve celebration commemorating 85 years of off-road leadership and adventure,” Jeep CEO Bob Broderdorf said in the company’s announcement. “Each product release will embody the boldness, authenticity and unapologetic spirit that defines our brand. It’s an ongoing tribute to the capability, freedom and adventurous DNA that have shaped our brand for generations.”
Who needs reliability and ease of repair when you have a sack full of marketing gimmicks?
includes a limited edition rubber duck?
Just yesterday, Jeep announced an official collaboration with Fox Factory to build a supercharged 392 Wrangler that will be sold exclusively to service members and veterans.
Will it be OD green with a star on the hood?
It will have a star on the hood, but the star will be yellow and the jeep CCP red.

“Look, every word the president just said is a lie,” University of Michigan economics professor Justin Wolfers told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on The Source. “Worse with that, it’s such a lie that I worry that there’s literally a break with reality inside the man’s mind.”
The economist said Trump’s remarks aren’t just political spin—they’re flatly contradicted by government data. “I can tell you that because I’m a statistics nerd,” he said. “You can go to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. They’ve got people in supermarkets all across the country, and almost every category of goods or services sees the prices rising.”
Wolfers said there’s “a reasonable argument to be had” about whether inflation is too high or too low—but denying its existence altogether crosses a line.
Bring on the men in the white coats.
Trump said he would bring down inflation but prices are still higher than when Biden was in charge …
Wolfers, a frequent economic commentator, said Trump’s statements reflect something more troubling than a bad policy take. “I don’t understand the logic of looking us in the eye and telling us an outright falsehood,” he said.
Stop it. You’re killing me.
