After a few games for each team, it’s apparent that there are a handful of umpires, mostly veteran ones, that probably shouldn’t be calling balls and strikes. In F1, they look like they might be finally ready to look at the PU package as the dangerous piece of shit it so obviously is. And the Worlds Cup field will be set at the end of the day after the playoff games wrap up. And that’s all I’ve got for sports.
Oh, a sob story? I guess we should change our entire way of life then. What about the precedent that said children born of Indians after the Amendment was passed are not citizens? You missed that one, AP. OK, I don’t know how this will go but I can read the words of the people who wrote and passed the amendment. And the answer is not nearly as black and white as this writer thinks it is. But this article is rubbish.

They need to find something to charge these people with. This is easily more egregious than a bartended over serving someone and then being responsible for that person’s actions. Yet nothing is done. And no, this isn’t a sob story. This is endemic at this point.

I can’t imagine SCOTUS having the balls to say “Ya know, “under the jurisdiction of” must mean something other that “physically present in”, so birthright citizenship is restricted to the offspring of citizens and legal residents”.
So, unfortunately, we will continue to incentivize the hell out of illegal immigration.
What about Elk v Wilkins?
In the context of the freed slaves, “under the jurisdiction of” meant not a citizen of someplace else. That’s why the children of diplomats born here are not citizens.
Constitutional law is meant to constrain the right and be ignored by the left. How else are we supposed to ratchet our way to Communism?
And Indians.
It should mean what the people who wrote it meant for it to mean. Aren’t there writings from that time explaining what they meant and it wasn’t “birth tourism”?
But that was like more than a hundred years ago.

I would ask how Graham keeps getting reelected but then Kentucky elects both McConnell and Paul.
Given Graham’s opposition to election security, you might want to put scare quotes around “reelected”.

It’s very telling that most of Iran’s neighbors haven’t raised a giant fuss about the joint US-Israeli War against Iran. Iran is that drunken asshole neighborhood bully that everyone hates and is happy when they are finally arrested by the cops.

Well said.
Yep.
I too don’t think we should be the ones shouldering the Iran burden, but of all the things I can bitch about, this is pretty low on my radar, especially as we really have zero idea of what is going on, what with the shitty news in this country and abroad.
A lot of us have grown up seeing Iran take hostages, sponsor terrorists, attack ships, start wars, and lob missiles at everyone within reach. They are definitely the assholes. I’m not crying about seeing their leaders killed and their shit getting blown up either.

The NCAA is pushing Congress to provide it with a limited antitrust exemption to enforce rules on eligibility and compensation and “some pre-emption on the 40-something state laws that are currently in place that are designed to give the schools in each of those states a leg up on the schools in other states,” Mr. Baker says.
President Trump has backed such legislation, which may be the least bad option. If the athlete bidding wars and litigation continue, politicians in Washington may wrest control over college sports. New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn have introduced legislation that would put the Justice Department in charge of regulating the NCAA.

A bit long, but I didn’t realize things in England were that bad.
I posted a video from TRIGGERnometry a few months back. They had an interview with a guy that specializes in studying revolts/revolutions. He was saying that it was no longer of question of if England was going to have a revolt but a question of when it was going to happen.
When it does, it will start in the country side and then head to the cities. Most city folk there are pacified with government payouts. The tractor revolution.
Most of this problem could be handled by simply enforcing the law.
This is why gun ownership should be universal. The politicians need to have some fear in the back of their minds that if they push too far, they might have a violent rebellion on their hands.
It’s easy though for me to say that because despite having to pay outrageous property taxes and sort of ate shit during the COVID period, all I did was bitch and complain.
Most of this problem could be handled by simply enforcing the law.
The expert listed 4 or 5 events that precede/trigger all revolutions. One of the final triggers is that population decides that the system can no longer be fixed from within the system. So the only solution is to tear down the system.
Once the population believes the law cannot be enforced, it’s all over. The expert states that England has already crossed that line.
We are getting close. Maybe two more decades.
RJ, my thoughts while watching the video was that the US was only a decade or so behind England on ticking off all the triggers.
We are clearly approaching the point where it is clear that the law will not (or cannot) be enforced across the US. It is definitely being selectively enforced in many jurisdictions already.
It is already starting, but they are at the Tea Party stage right now. Still a long way to get to where we are even at.

“An analysis from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive (ATF) could not conclusively connect a bullet fragment recovered during Charlie Kirk’s autopsy to the rifle found near the scene of the rightwing political activist’s killing – and the FBI is running additional tests, lawyers for Kirk’s accused murderer said in recent court filings.
In the court filings, Tyler Robinson’s defense team also asked for a delay to a preliminary hearing scheduled in May, saying they need time to review the bullet analysis as well as an enormous amount of other material that could contribute to the suspect’s defense.
The ATF’s bullet analysis report has been kept private, but attorneys have cited snippets in other public filings that say the results were inconclusive.”

No exit wound – so the odds are the bullet shattered. The fragments are difficult to show with certainty that they bear the marks made by the rifle.

“The government will say that this is about human trafficking. But that’s just a sign of how “human trafficking” has become a catchall term for sex-tinged antics that prosecutors want to punish….
The alleged victims in this case could come and go as they pleased. They were adult women. They had college degrees, outside professional opportunities, and sometimes even independent wealth….
The government’s case was also a huge affront to the idea that women are fully agentic people capable of consent, sexual and otherwise. Prosecutors suggested that anxiety about being shunned by the OneTaste community was a harm so powerful that grown women were effectively “trafficked” by it. They argued that these women’s consent—to OM, to participate in sexual fantasy scenes, to enter into and out of relationships, to engage in sex acts with OneTaste members or donors, or to pay for OneTaste classes—was rendered null by the force of fear of social exclusion and/or fear that stopping OM and other OneTaste practices would have a negative impact on their lives.”

Successful whirlwind trip completed.
I gotta say, my boys have a damn good friend who road tripped with them to be there for them and honoring their grandpa.
I asked him at one point “why would you come with us for such an emotional event?”
“Its what friends are for”. Props to that kid.
Introduced them to childhood food hangouts while down in Cali and they by far said The Hat is the greatest stoner food ever.
Also awesome was a favorite pizza joint of my dad’s rallied and opened up for a private event afterwards on a day they normally are closed.
Awesome. It is wonderful to see people rally around an obviously great man.
Thanks Zwak. You know what the man was about when oldest sibling opens the service with ‘As dad always said, its bullshit’
Navy honor detail was great and I warned the oldest sibling, Taps will break you.
As the only child with military service, I did my damnest to maintain miltary bearing during that final salute.

“Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT.”
“You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!,” he wrote.
They just need to build more windmills.
Just pay for your oil in yuan or rial and buy all you want.
“It turns out that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new ‘free’ childcare program isn’t free at all. In fact, it’s going to cost $60,000 – Per child. Of course, it’ll be free for the people who get the service, but not for the taxpayers who are funding it.”

Your tax dollars at work.
Pay mothers to stay home and take care of their own children. It would be cheaper.
But they wouldn’t be properly indoctrinated.
foot soldiers for the people’s army
“work”
Not MY tax dollars, and I’ll be very tempted to shoot the MFer who tries to use my tax dollars for that.
I’d be surprised if federal money wasn’t involved.
No worries, the price will go down with increased volume once the loving eyes of the state are watching ALL of the children.
“To do anything else opens a dangerous can of worms,” Jackson wrote.
So much for “Dissent is not treason.”
We cannot accept the sort of risk conflicting viewpoints pose to civil society. That would be suicide.
Speaking of quiltbag justice-
Will Gavin Newsom cancel the Olympics now that they have officially banned “transgender athletes” from women’s competition?
I wonder if they will be able to clean up LA and get things done on time.
When will Canada announce a boycott?
I’m having fun tracking the Nimitz on its PR tour. They are now anchored off Panama and hosting Central American dignitaries. I’m happy my son-in-law is able to see so much of the world (at least the ports where they stop, normally he’s just below decks). But his wife is a little peeved at his spending habits. They’re still kids, they’ll learn.

As long as those spending habits arent ‘any port in a storm’, they will work that out.
Stressful for both of them for sure.
He’s spending like a drunken sailor?
Yes, but he really doesn’t drink and he’s constantly video calling my daughter, so it’s mostly just eating out. I think he’s getting her something small from each port though, I thought that was cool. Last year he sent me back a Hot Wheels wheelchair that he found in a toy store in Malaysia.
Hell, I am peeved at my wife’s spending habits, and we are in our fifties.
It blew my mind when I was deployed by how much some of the other joes managed to spend, cigarettes, junk food, magazines, comics, new laptops, jewelry, all kinds of stupid stuff. I bought a Twix bar every weekday on the way to the motorpool and the occasional crappy latte at Grean Beans and felt stupid for doing that.
Later when I told people I had paid off my credit card and managed to save &30k on deployment those guys didn’t believe me. They were all broke.
I saw the same thing with my Soldiers. In 2003-early 2004 there was not many opportunities for Soldiers to waste money, aside from buying a Harley. By 2008 you could spend money online and in country just about anywhere.
I tried pointing out to them that Uncle Sugar had a program that would pay you 10% interest while you were deployed and only a handful of them took advantage of the program.
Joe, and Jane, are often poor with savings.
I was deployed 05-06.
I cut my SGLI to just about nothing and dumped the max into the TSP (if I remember it being called) spent the rest paying off my credit card, then put whatever I had left in savings.
When I got back I got married and got the least expensive apartment I could find. Granted because of BAH almost everything cost the same.
Dozens of single soilders in my unit also rented apartments instead of living in the barracks. Bought new cars, wheels and tires, furniture, TVs…
And bitched about how poor they were all the while drinking like fish.
If I’d been raised in a military service family, still did the same sports etc, and took to it the way I did my actual upbringing, with the same morals and philosophy, I wonder what type of soldier I’d have been. Almost assuredly in Derp’s ballpark? Hrm.
“Black Half Of Tiger Woods Tased By Cops After Asian Half Crashes Car”

‘Here’s the pitch…swing! And…this…one….is…outta here!’
Tiger isn’t half black. His mother is Asian but Dad is part white, part black and part American Indian. I think Tiger refers to himself as a “Cablinasian.” Which part causes him to play like Bobby, Jack and Arnie?
Finally learned the tariff effects on 2025 for the company in which I own a minority share. Per the audited financials for 2025, our Income from Operations was 42% lower than it would have been if tariffs had been zero. Unfortunately, due to competition from our larger competitors, there was no ability to pass through the tariff expense to customers. Nor is there any U.S. source for the raw materials used in our manufactured product. So the “victims” in this case are the shareholders and the ability to get larger dividends and spend them or invest them in the economy. Also, we had one employee quit in Dec. 2025 and an employee out on sick leave who, unfortunately, died on Friday. Neither will be replaced so, in effect, there are two Texans who won’t be getting a job and will never know it. Tariffs spread the costs around in many ways. This is just one anecdote from the U.S. economy.
Ouch.
Is what you guys make cool?
