With the sudden onset of tolerable weather (it’s going to be up to 23° in Went To The Moon units), I will be outside finishing up my fence extensions for a better confinement of a dog who identifies as an antelope. Then down to the café to meet, greet, shake hands, kiss babies, and wheedle reluctant people into putting an X next to my name in next month’s election. Much fun yesterday with Prime, her daughter, and her daughter’s (female) fiancé. Who, BTW, is a Jew. Like mother, like daughter. In any event, a delightful time pounding beer and wine with three delightful women.
Birthdays today include (but are not limited to) a Polack who played pretty good piano; a guy who inspired Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens; a guy who, fuck Stan Lee, was the true genius of comic books; a bullet we thankfully dodged; a guy who didn’t get fooled again; a guy whose brother relished tranya; a politician who honored the term “vegetable”; arguably the second best James Bond; the black H.G. Wells; a guy who really should have been firmer about his most famous divestment; and a perennial candidate for dumbest guy on TV, a very tough contest.
Links are the opposite of a tough contest.
OK, so can we get the fuck out of there now and let Israel worry about it?

My kids are old and hopefully ain’t doin’ that route anymore. Haven’t heard from them yet this morning but probably ’cause they are still sleeping.
Are we supposed to blame Indiana guns, or Netanyahu?
Speculation on the heritage of the shooter?
That was a place I frequented in our Austin days. In all seriousness, it could be anything wrt to heritage, from an inbred redneck to a disgruntled University camel jock.
If it’s a troon, that would fit the pattern of recent months.
I spent a lot of time in Antone’s on 5th street.
For a brief time I dated Mason Ruffner’s niece, and he was always playing there for some reason.
My 1st arrest was on 6th street for being underage and in possession of a beer.
Is it the spring-like weather causing it?
“ CPD: 9 people injured in mass shooting during event at East End music venue”

Nice spring weather does make people want to go shooting. My ‘local’ range was stacked yesterday – every range and every bay had a waiting list. I spent four hours there just bouncing from range to range, and shot about 500 rounds of 9mm and 200 rounds of cheap 556.
Three of the birthday links are duplicates….
That’s my punishment for starting them the night before, then finishing in the morning.
I think someone came back for a second piece of birthday cake, although I admit I could not see them.

CNN: Having blasted open a vacuum, there’s no guarantee the US and Israel will like what comes next
Are they wrong? Czar to Lenin/ king of France to Robespierre / Shah to the Mullahs. It has happened plenty of times.
Oh, it absolutely does happen.
Just the default position of everybody established in anything is to resist change.
I do it at work. Even if I hate a regulation I know how to work with it. If it changes, maybe good, maybe bad, I have lots of work to comply with an uncertain outcome. It may be better, it may be worse.
To really look at this, you’d need to evaluate regime change due to third party intervention. Czar to Lenin counts, I think. Louis XVI to Robespierre wouldn’t. Not sure if the whole Shah to mullah thing had enough foreign interference to count.
Japan, for example, is better off for the US sticking its nuclear dick in. West Germany as well, but East Germany is a little more, umm, complex. Then you get into the rabbit hole of when the regime change was just getting conquered (Eastern Europe post WWII), and I suppose whether getting de-conquered counts (Eastern Europe post-Soviet). If the latter counts, then we have a pretty good chunk of regime change that was an improvement.
Yeah, but what came after Hitler or Tojo was leagues better.
Just the default position of everybody established in anything is to resist change.
Yeah, that is the desire of everyone benefitting from the status quo. The more they benefit, the more they want it to stay the same.
In the Republican party, everyone running for president is worse than Hitler and also worse than the last Republican to run for or be president. Look how the left loved Bush Jr and McCain after they were done. See also the Cheneys
Eh, about what came after Hitler – is only true for the western half of the country (and sorta ignores the German land absorbed by Poland and the Soviet Union – and the associated ethnic displacement of the Germans that lived there).
Japan learned what all bullying nations do – that your conceited self-superiority is nothing of the sort.
Everything that happened to Germany after Hitler was better. Full Fucking Stop.
Whatever comes next, at least it won’t be Scott Adams!
Of course. He already picked his successor. Like how all the Euros think they’ll get a friendly wimp when Putin dies or retires.
Was his successor in the room when it got bombed?
BOGO!
I’ll take a guess – no.
Another guess – this dude intentionally decided at 86 he rather go out a martyr than the way 86-year-olds usually croak.
Only way to get the 72 virgins.
What I find especially amusing is the predictability of responses. It’s all rationalization and confirmation bias all the way down. Someone said “Time will tell” to me about the results of this, but that’s not really true in any meaningful sense. People will rationalize any outcome into confirmation of their narratives.
Please stop feeding my misanthropy.
We are story telling tribal monkeys. The stories define our tribes and are very important even if not actually true. It’s both our blessing and our curse.

OK, calling 911 is an overreaction, but taking that long to show up? Don’t the cops track response times as part of their emergency metrics?
I don’t know, there were no immediate lives in danger, the guy didn’t want the gun, reported it immediately. Unless somebody thought gun ninjas were going to attack the house to get the gun I don’t see an issue.
What a schnook. When probability grants you an untraceable throwdown piece, you thoroughly sanitize it, hide it in your offsite cache, and keep your mouth shut about it.
Words of wisdom.
In a surprise plot twist, dude was a convicted felon and it was a set-up.
I would only hesitate on this course of action because of concern of the history of the gun. Might be related to a crime and come back to bite you in the ass years down the road, associating you with some murder or something.

I think the productivity comes from the fact that none of your coworkers are there to bug you.
It was amazing how much I got done in the morning before everyone else showed up. Then the meetings and “urgent issues” would start and the day would be derailed.
I do have to admit the one thing I think sets a great precedent in the strike on Iran. No extended fight between the cannon-fodder common people; this was straight to the top. May all future wars be fought on such terms!
Bring back the single combat!
100% agree.
I remember when we bombed a few Iranian facilities back in the ’90s late at night – specifically so we didn’t blow up any important people. I guess it was OK to blow up a few janitors and nonrates.
Hit home because it wasn’t that long before that that I had been a nonrate in the Marines. Why blow up us poor fucks who had done nothing to piss off the VIPs?
Now the residual cleanup.
Like a tornado that spared you but you still have to work your ass off.
Good point, JI. Forever, people have been saying the Maximum Leaders should be legitimate, if not the main, targets. This is what that looks like.
Chicken hawks should also be fair game.
If the Iranians punched Lindsey Graham’s ticket, it should be considered to be within the bounds of legitimate war.
Or in a lucky shot took out the US president in retaliation ?
Or just congressmen?
I would think so.
There are some on X asking why we got into forever wars if this was possible?
Maybe we have better tech, or the will to do it? Interesting question.
As with most other things about Trump – this is a violation of our “rules based order”. And in this case, a very good violation.
Yeah, I’ve been appreciating regime change that takes out the leaders instead of the mooks.
LOL
Once again the Babylon Bee is way to close to the truth.
OK, so can we get the fuck out of there now and let Israel worry about it?
No. Raytheon and Lockheed and all the others need to get paid.
If their gadgets work to keep lower the number of new widows and orphans of our military members then pay them.
I still lean on demonstration of technology and against any hardware Russia and/or China gave them.

My default position on anything these days is “I don’t t know”. It takes discipline but it’s been very helpful.
So for Iran, I don’t know if it was a good or bad thing. It had a good start , but time will tell.
Iran for me is sad it could have been a fantastic country. The west should not have allowed thr shah to fall. I blame the fucking french in particular.
Pahlavis were never the rightful rulers.
And the ayatolah was?
Iran can blossom after the mullahs are gone.
Pie – there are no rightful rulers.
My default position is “wait and see”. I remember the excitement when the coalition or whatever it was called rolled into Kabul. Look how that turned out.
The coalition shouldn’t have rolled in and camped out for 20 years.
They should have been on a combination manhunt and punitive expedition.

He then received my MRI results (abdomen) , called me, and set up a visit with an oncologist. That’s on Monday.

I think this tactic works better in some states than others. But, the US really needs to reform its environmental laws and investigate foreign influence peddling.

Every state has a Department of Natural Resources or the equivalent. Start there.

“In the 1870s, the city of Liège in Belgium conducted an unusual experiment involving cats as mail carriers. The Belgian Society for the Elevation of the Domestic Cat trained 37 cats to deliver messages in small waterproof bags attached to their necks. The cats were released in villages around Liège with the goal of returning home with the mail, similar to how carrier pigeons operated. While some cats did successfully return, the overall results were inconsistent, as the cats tended to follow their own whims rather than strict delivery routes. Due to their unreliable nature, the experiment was never repeated.”

“Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Friday said he was ordering the “complete and immediate cancellation” of all Department of War attendants at universities like Princeton, Columbia, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Brown and Yale, starting with the 2026-27 academic year.
Hegseth added that the ban would also include “many others,” claiming the higher education system has been “poisoned from within from a class of so-called elite universities who’ve abused their privilege and access to this department and utterly betrayed their purpose.””
https://nypost.com/2026/03/01/us-news/hegseth-bans-military-from-woke-princeton-columbia-mit-universities/
Doesn’t he have better things to do now?
Honestly I’m not sure that he does. Took about five minutes to put this policy together.
Not really any reason to send war department people to elite universities. They are at the school to learn skills needed for war. There’s not much of an argument that the education from a second tier school is significantly worse. Being taught a bunch of social nonsense just hurts readiness.
The military exists to kill the enemy. That’s the only thing that’s important.
Modern bureaucracy killing the military. Patton, Eisenhower and Marshall didn’t have graduate degrees – you aren’t a better officer just because you have one.
I got out 16 years ago.
I learned that the military is a welfare to work program that exists to advance the lifestyles of those who have no marketable skills nor the desire to have any. Most guys do one hitch and see how the system is aligned against meritocracy and they get out.
The shit stays in and accumulates at the top. Then those guys retire and get jobs in other parts of government or the post office.
Okay, that’s got to be one of the most obscure references you’ve made in the birthday list. I really had to dig to figure that one out. The sad thing is that my oldest sister, former hardcore “Don’t Call Me a Trekkie” Trekker, might have known it off the top of her head. 🙄

“New attacks amid threat of escalation”
That’s some top notch journalisming.
Lenin wrote in 1915: “If tomorrow, Morocco were to declare war on France, India on England, Persia or China on [World War I era, pre-revolutionary] Russia, and so forth, those would be just, defensive wars, irrespective of who attacked first; and every socialist would sympathize with the victory of the oppressed, dependent, unequal states against the oppressing, slave-owning, predatory ‘Great’ Powers.”
In this instance, of course, Iran did not attack first. But that only strengthens the point that today, every socialist, every anti-colonialist, every opponent of genocide, every supporter of the most basic principles of sovereignty and equality, must stand firmly with Iran, waging a defensive war against the oppressing, slave-owning, predatory United States and Israel.
https://x.com/agent_of_change/status/2027724776299450838
Fuck anyone quoting that slimy bastard.
I wish I could read the responses.
“Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claimed to have attacked a US aircraft carrier in revenge for the killing of the country’s Supreme Leader, as it launches drone attacks across the Middle East today.
State media carried a statement claiming the USS Abraham Lincoln had been attacked with ‘four ballistic missiles’. The Pentagon later denied the Lincoln had been hit but said missiles had been fired that ‘did not even come close’.
The US Defense Department also confirmed that three US servicemen have been killed during Operation Epic Fury, and another five have been injured.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15601019/Iran-attacks-LIVE-Israel-US-launch-pre-emptive-strikes-Iran-explosions-heard-downtown-Iran.html
Did the aircraft carrier notice?
“attacked” and “did not even come close” are probably both true. This is right there with “We used up all our old missiles, now we’re going to use the good stuff.”
If only we had a vaccine to prevent public health hysteria
An alarming new report calculates the price tag for the U.S. if those rates continue to fall.
If measles vaccination rates continue to drop just 1% annually for the next five years, the cost to the U.S. could reach $1.5 billion a year, according to a new report from the Yale School of Public Health.
Armed with existing county-level vaccination coverage data, Yale researchers used mathematical models to calculate predicted increases in measles cases, hospitalizations and their associated medical and societal costs.
Based on their projections, $41.1 million would be needed each year to cover patients’ basic medical needs, including health insurance, and $947 million for public health response efforts such as surveillance and contact tracing. Lost productivity in the workforce, the report found, could reach $510.4 million each year.
“According to my model, you need to give me a shitload of money.”
As we all know, each unvaxxed individual will not only become terminally ill, they will infect ten thousand others.
Come on Brooks, that’s like $0.01 in Somali fraud dollars.

If I’m in the office, I use the office fork. If I’m at my house, I use the house fork.
No, I do not have guests, so nobody ever uses the guest forks.
In late January 2025, as President Donald Trump was taking his second oath of office, measles cases were beginning to spread in West Texas. Under his presidency, following the guidance of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the administration has not strongly endorsed vaccines as a way to end such outbreaks.
Instead, the messaging on childhood vaccination has focused on “personal choice” rather than public health necessity.
Fuck off, slaver.
I must admit, in addition to being a hottie, Tulsi Gabbard has proven to be damn good at her job. She’s in charge of the agencies that tracked Maduro and the Ayatollah. You don’t pull those operations off with the keystone cops running things.

“Mark Levin: I’ll deal with this deranged traitor, Tucker Carlson, more fully later. For now I’ll say he’s a disgusting Woke Reich lowlife. He trashes our country and president in the middle of a military campaign against an enemy that has murdered over 1000 Americans and maimed thousands more. This bum has pranced around the Middle East giving aid and comfort to our enemies. And today he’s stabbing the president in the back and smearing our nation. He lies and propagandizes, and spews his cancerous bigotry, antisemitism, and Cristian-trashing. Even Qatar is condemning Iran. But not Carlson . He attacks his own country. You’ve every reason to despise him.”

Two little girls in Texas, ages 6 and 8, died of measles much sooner, within weeks of their diagnosis.
While the economic consequences of measles outbreaks are real, the human impact cannot be ignored, Chokshi said. “Behind every number is a child struggling with a devastating illness, or a family reckoning with an unexpected hospitalization, and, in the worst circumstances, a death or a long-term consequence from what is a preventable disease.”
Meanwhile, we will do anything and everything possible to weaken our children’s immune systems.

Ladies of the jury dabbed their eyes, sniffling as the 20-year-old on the witness stand described the hours she’d spent trying to fix her face before appearing in court that morning — her view of herself irreparably warped by what she characterized as a decade of addiction to YouTube and Instagram.
“Whenever I got a bunch of likes I was really happy, and it made me feel really good about myself,” said the woman, known in court as Kaley G.M. “If I didn’t, I would feel insecure, like I looked ugly.”
One alternate juror wept openly during the testimony in Los Angeles County Superior Court, wiping her tears on her sweater.
Kaley’s lawsuit is a test case chosen from among hundreds alleging that social media apps were designed to snare young kids and keep them hooked. But it’s her Los Angeles jury that will set the stakes for thousands of suits still to come, making this one of the corporate world’s most closely watched legal battles.
Open the floodgates of litigation.
Hmm, who do I hate most in this? The social media companies? The plaintiffs? The lawyers? The legislators and judges that have so undermined common law that we now allow tort claims by people claiming injuries arising entirely from their own behavior?
This is getting to be a pattern, stories that leave me wanting everyone involved slapped upside their stupid head.
I hate the journalists lazily making it a gender issue.
Yes, but I don’t want journalists slapped upside their stupid heads. I’ll refrain from saying what I want for journalists because I don’t have enough lifetime left to come up with suitable punishments, and even the Imperial Chinese ones aren’t enough.

If they don’t insist that officers have advanced degrees they might end up with officers that think like enlisted men, and that would be very dangerous to people whose power depends on constantly violating their oaths to uphold the Constitution and Laws of the United States.
Not to worry, the senior enlisted are culturally just like the officer class.
The number of lower enlisted in my unit that believed that civilians should not be allowed to own guns, vote, or run for office shocked me.
When the upper enlisted and officers let their political masks slip they were even worse.
With a double dose of the ghetto Gustave.
