The Astros are on a hot streak. They’ve won two games in a row. Hockey great Claude Lemieux killed himself. I don’t know how else to put it. Carolina will look to put the Canadians/Canadiens out of the playoffs for good tonight. And that’s pretty much all I’ve got for sports.
Not good for Bezos. But it should have been expected. All of his non-Amazon projects seem to blow up spectacularly. Just look at Amazon. Or his second wife’s tits.
I’ve certainly got questions. Namely, why was it America’s responsibility to manage the entire world’s health for so long?
I’m a regular person and I can’t relate. But maybe serial jacking off in port-o-johns and banging prostitutes is more common than I think.
People who do this deserve life in prison. It’s attempted mass murder by proxy. But it’s NoVa, so they probably won’t even see the inside of a prison cell.

I can relate, he’s an unstable asshole. I have known many unstable assholes in my life. I can also relate to the Maine Senatorial race. Platner is the perfect candidate for that race, an ideal race forces you to choose carefully, and only someone as bad as Platner could possibly make anyone have to choose carefully in a race where the other candidate is that absolutely hideous, stupid, dishonest slimeball Collins.
I’ll take the center left candidate over the far left candidate.
I just want one of his “Vote for the Nazi. It’s Important.” bumper stickers.
This race is kind of the perfect example of how badly our Republic has failed. You have a mentally unstable Nazi, running against the poster child for dishonest RINOs, and because the Nazi has a D next to his name the left supports him and because the RINO, who has stabbed us in the back on every major vote has an R the right supports her. I say, we penalize Maine one Senate seat for having this travesty of a choice and just go with 99 for the next 6 years.
Repealing the 17th would work better.
What are the odds, of 330M people that’s the two you have to chose from?
Klobuchar thinks she’s the ideal fit to be Walz’s replacement, after 18 years in DC.

The 17th was already underway before the amendment passed. Repealing it would do as much good as eliminating income tax withholding.

why was it America’s responsibility to manage the entire world’s health for so long?
America has wealth. The world wants it.
^^^^THIS^^^^
People that do not understand the basics of economics and wealth creation always see the game as a zero sum game. They believe the pie is fixed, and you can only get your share if you take it. basically the human philosophy and motivation for war since written history until the early 20th century. There are people that truly do not understand that wealth can be created. But the ones agitating these fools and praying on their envy, do, but since they can’t create wealth, want to take it from those that do.
It’s a moral imperative that the rest of the world have access to the earnings of American taxpayers.
You are a white man, this is your burden.

Tough shit. Fly them there, kick them out the door, and pull up the stairway.
I do not agree with flying them to random countries – it just gives ammos to commies like those at Guardian to write more sob stories.

Yeah, it’s a circle jerk between the unions, the DNC, and the idiot voters.
I’ve had numerous encounters with black bears. Most are relatively small and will run at the first sign of trouble. But I’ve seen a few males come out of a state forest that had put grown that attitude. 500-600 lbs, they went where they wanted at their pace and had no fear.
Our neighbors dog ran up on a massive male – it just looked at her until the dog had a moment of clarity and ran.
My only real close call with a black bear was with a mother with cubs during a hike. The curious cubs bolted towards me. I saw the mom going bonkers, pulled out my gun and fired off 2 shots into the ground. They all turned tail and ran. I am pretty sure had I not been carrying I would have had to deal with a 200 lbs angry momma.
We were hiking near Caesars Head in NC a few months ago. A cub was on the trail, we stopped and it ran off. I kept my pistol in hand for a while in case momma was around and angry.
We get them in the yard. I figured since I was yelling at it to run it off, I trash talked it.
Don’t forget this this classic bear.

It truly feels like we’re all expected to lie. We’re expected to understand the good people are in charge, and they are doing their best, and any pointing out of their (many, many (MANY)) enormous failures can only help the bad people. Then, we are expected to believe the bad people will lead us to some truly heinous moral horror merely in the name of baseline functioning government. I understand this seems ridiculous, but I genuinely do think it constitutes the underlying psychology of a one-party town, in which not even Democrats are supposed to tell the truth.

One more () and we’d know exactly who he was talking about!
what’s driving the popularity of a professional 21st Century clown like Pratt, with no experience in government, over a thoughtful, if imperfect, standard issue Democrat like Bass,
If Bass is a ‘standard issue’ Democrat – and I ain’t disagreeing, at least in terms of party leadership and candidates – I think I see the problem. Not necessarily for the Democrats, as a substantial fraction of the voting population has demonstrated a willingness to vote for them, but for the country as a whole. Since a substantial fraction of the population has demonstrated a willingness to vote themselves into a Communist shit-hole.
Not even going to touch the absurdity of calling Bass “thoughtful” – if that bundle of empty banal platitudes and stupidity passes for thoughtful, JTFC…

Renowned for its wildlife, the ranch supports strong populations of Rocky Mountain elk, mule deer, antelope, black bear, and upland birds, making it one of the premier hunting ranches in Oregon.
Beyond recreation, the property presents significant long-term investment potential with timber resources, privacy, and large contiguous acreage in a highly desirable region.
Key Highlights:
• 35,132± acres
• Borders Ochoco National Forest
• ~65 springs + 19 miles of creeks
• Trophy elk, mule deer & wildlife habitat
• Timberland & investment potential

The Carbon Project is in development phase with completion of Direct Environmental Benefit (DEB’s) preliminary approval and targeted field verification in December 2025. The anticipated first reporting period (RP1) credit issuance in December 2026, with an estimated RP1 of 450,000 credits. A buyer can realize all future credits resulting in attractive annual positive cash flow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMqeLkesiFY
LOCATION
Ochoco Ranch is located in Central Oregon and just 45 minutes from the Redmond/Bend commercial airport (RDM). The property is 11 miles east of Prineville, OR on Highway 26. Prineville, which also has a municipal airport (PRZ), is located 30 minutes from Bend and 20 minutes from Redmond.
$54,000,000
Perfect for Chad Johnson.

All those creeks and habitat won’t mean much when Oregon bans hunting and fishing. Plus who wants to live near Bend?

Yeah, effective aerial/satellite coverage of 50+ heavily wooded square miles, even during daylight hours, ain’t happening.
ain’t happening.
agree to a degree. However, doesn’t change the fact that, being in Oregon, the value of the ranch as a hunting property is deeply in question. No advertising, no above board transactions, basically impossible to run a business involving game, regardless of whether I may be able to skirt the law on an under-the-table basis.
If I’m in the market for a hunting-based property, there’s no way in hell I’m buying in Oregon. I mean I obviously have the $54 mil, I’m just not going to buy because it’s in Oregon…
O do not think it is marketed for comercial hunting. More like a rich person which wants a house on top of the highest hill overlooking his 35k acres of woodland.

Red tape continues to hamstring rebuilding throughout the Palisades, and the city still has no coherent plan to prevent another fire of the magnitude that took the Palisades out, or anything even remotely resembling an honest account of what led to the single most destructive fire in the city’s history.
It was ClImAtE cHaNgE, DUH!
if only they had bought enough climate offsets
The fact they arrested and are prosecuting the arsonist aside, the Palisades will only be rebuilt after they take the land over. And then, they will build low income housing and other things that benefit the commies in LA. Not the property owners. At this point I am 90% sure that they wanted that place to burn and let it happen at a minimum.
Low-income? Are you kidding me – that is prime real estate for the party faithful!
That was my point.. Luxury houses for the party: Dachas. And token low income housing to pretend they didn’t just steal the land…
Nero approves
Yeah, they are terrified of Pratt – that is the only explanation for the MSM in lockstep non-stop propping up that useless grinning communist loser Bass as her city falls apart.
“Yeah, they are terrified of Pratt ”
I think they are far more terrified of what Pratt represents than the guy. These people have counted on the public’s resignation and apathy for decades. We ended up in a place where the ones winning elections are the people talking about social justice and fixing emotional wrongs, and that then spend our tax dollars on shit, while infrastructure and government services lead to collapse. Pratt represents a threat to that model hat has vastly favored the useless marxist cabal of feminized idiocy. I think people are wising up that expecting government to fix social injustice only gets you wore of that, while society unravels and infrastructure and services fall apart. Not to mention the revelation of how pervasive and massive fraud is in every social program.
I am hoping this phenom is for real and goes countrywide. It would be a boon for those of us that want to save the country from the islamo-marxist revolutionaries and their agenda.
Bass is going to win. Blue No Matter Who will carry the day again.
In the highly unlikely event that the LA voters don’t give Bass a sufficient margin, well, I don’t think that will matter.
Very likely.
And if the seventies that we are rapidly sliding into a repeat of taught us anything, it’s that things can get a whole lot worse before the voters revolt.
And today’s voters are a whole lot stupider than ever before so I imagine things will get a whole lot worse than they did in the last round too.

“A Virginia high school graduation descended into chaos when a spectator rushed the stage and attacked a student who was walking to receive his diploma.
Evan J. Williams Jr., 20, was arrested Thursday and charged with disorderly conduct and damage to private property in connection with the brawl that broke out during John Marshall High School’s graduation ceremony at Virginia Commonwealth University, according to police.
A 12-second viral video of the violence posted on Facebook shows the moment several attendees began to fight on the students’ special day in front of shocked family members just before 11 a.m. Wednesday at the school’s Siegel Center.”

“If a trespasser or a burglar breaks in or comes into your home that you live in and you’re there, you can pretty much shoot them or do whatever you want to with,” Blau added. “In a situation like this, an abandoned house, it’s much different. You can’t go in, put yourself in a situation and say, ‘This is my house, so I felt I had the right to shoot him.’”
Why not?
Cause that stupoid argument is convenient?
The house wasn’t “abandoned” – it belonged to the shooter.
So if you can’t go into a property you own and claim the castle doctrine, does that mean that you can shoot somebody who comes into your house if you are already there, but you can’t shoot them if they are there when you walk in the door?
Fuck squatters. They should get one chance to clear out, and then I don’t care what happens to them.
Store owners should also be allowed to shoot looters.
The people wanting a monopoly on violence against crime to be the purview of only government have an agenda. When they are the only ones able to stop crime, you depend on them for your security and property rights. If you can do it without them or their approval, well, what good are they then?
America made all tat wealth because it had the best system for people to protect their property rights. It was not perfect, but people knew there could be consequences. The need to remove this is critical, so the elite can use the terror of the radicals to keep the plebes in line.
Steelman:
A combination of proportionality and “you can’t escalate a situation that you started.”
you can’t escalate a situation that you started
But a property owner entering his own property did not start a ‘situation’. Someone illegally occupying the property did.
If entering a home you own, and telling a squatter to GTFO is “starting a situation”, then sure, that’s a steelman. However, the squatter started the situation with a B&E, or at a minimum trespassing. Committing a crime is, IMHO, the start of a situation.

New details about Henry Nowak murder. Three female officers responded to scene.
“The officer who handcuffed Henry laughed when he said he had been stabbed. He was then dragged across the gravel and held in handcuffs as he bled out. Only after he lost consciousness did officers remove the handcuffs and begin CPR. Henry died at the scene. Police also seized Henry’s and his father’s phone and searched all messages for racist comments or jokes”

Clearly the most important part: if he had made any such comments he clearly deserved it and if he hadn’t the primary objective of ensuring a brown person’s feelings weren’t hurt was accomplished.
Cops do what they’re ordered and paid to do. Never forget that. Don’t believe for an instant that American cops wouldn’t do the same thing.

“Donald Trump’s ‘Freedom 250’ concert has been plunged into chaos as a fifth act has fled, citing ‘unforgivable’ threats to his family as the celebration of America’s founding becomes mired in controversy over its ties to the President.
Poison front man Bret Michaels released a statement late Thursday saying he had jumped at the chance to honor the nation, only to pull out fearing for the safety of his family, friends and bandmates.
He joins Morris Day, Young MC, the Commodores and Martina McBride with five of the nine headline acts dropping out since the lineup was announced on Wednesday – and just a month before the musical festival kicks off on the National Mall….
Michaels’ departure deepens the crisis for the event organizers who are now left with just four acts: Vanilla Ice, Flo Rida, C+C Music Factory, and Milli Vanilli.”

But it’s the Right that’s inherently violent.
No bad tactics, only bad targets. Hating bad people makes you a good person.
It’s predictable that this happened. The best thing to do with the bullies on the Left is to tell them to fuck off and then do what you want.
The problem is that leftist bullies inevitably turn violent. When these guys get threats on their safety, they have to take them seriously because the left is serious about committing violence. It doesn’t end peacefully I expect.

Specifically, the bill would establish a $150 annual fee on EVs and $50 annual fee on plug-in hybrids—a $30 billion new tax.

Not expecting this: Eliminating property taxes is highly controversial with . . . Instapundit readers.
Bot accounts… Those Instapundit people opposing the tax being gone are considered CCP shills, fixated on JOOOS!, Russia Good, China Good, America bad. Their arguments are interesting however, as they pretend to come at it as young disillusioned people that feel the Boomers are the reason they can’t get good jobs or buy houses. These supposed younger people the bots are pretending to be get mad when people point out wasting $100 a day on unnecessary subscriptions and door dash and having massive school loan debt for useless degrees while having zero working skills, are their problem.
I’m not seeing a comment section.
I’ve been watching the property tax battle here in Ohio with some interest. The people want it eliminated. The Republicans want to keep it around, the Democrats want to keep it around, both are trying to provide reasons as to why their reason for keeping it is important.
We’re all budget hawks now
The judge said the order was necessary to “ensure that no funds are irreversibly disbursed from the ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund’ while their are motions pending to block the distribution of funds.
The process to apply for money can’t officially begin until five commissioners are chosen to decide how the money is doled out, though people who claim they were targeted by the government have already requested money. The White House referred questions to DOJ.
It’s also not clear how people would formally apply. The pool of possible applicants is substantial, according to DOJ.
Andrew Floyd, who headed a task force in the now-closed Capitol Siege Section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, before he was dismissed in July, filed a declaration in connection with the lawsuit on Thursday.
The Trump administration “is gifting the people I helped investigate and prosecute after January 6” access to what he describes as an illegally created process designed to “rush money out the door to perceived political allies, while treating me and people like me as disfavored enemies.”
You can’t keep the politically disfavored enemies straight without a scorecard.
Hey Andy? You *ARE* a disfavored enemy. You need to count yourself lucky that you’re not in jail.

“California Public Sector Union Threatens Environmental Lawsuit Over Gavin Newsom’s Return-to-Office Policy
Unionized state workers say agencies need to study the additional emissions that would be caused by requiring employees to come into the office four days a week.”

Peak California?
They could do us all – including Gaia – a favor and MAiD themselves.
That would require another environmental impact statement that takes eleven years.

Yes, RJ, I am having steak for lunch. Ted must be looking at the pan.
Hahaha. Is your browser Opera or something?
“When it is necessary to remove a child from their parents, the ACS must first seek a court order, pursuant to the law. If a child is in immediate danger, the administration may exercise its emergency removal power. However, an April 2026 study found that the ACS uses its emergency power in more than 50% of removals.
Black and Latino families bear the brunt of the removals, as 90% of all emergency removals in the city affect them. White families, on the other hand, make up only about 3% of removals.”

Curious.
What percentage of the defective parents is white?
“alleged” racial discrimination
Even the Guardian is skeptical. 😲

Stop using AI pictures.
Does Walz’ service qualify him to be buried in Fort Snelling Cemetery? He was on active duty a little.
He probably could go to a state cemetery at Fort Ripley.

Cuban pilot listed in Raúl Castro indictment sentenced in immigration fraud case

“On May 29, 2026, Italian prosecutors formally requested a life sentence for Cinzia Dal Pino, a 65-year-old businesswoman from Viareggio who ran over and killed Said Malkoun with her SUV after he stole her bag.
Malkoun, 47, whose nationality authorities could not confirm because he had given false information during previous arrests, had no fixed address and no valid residence permit, and supported himself through theft.
Prosecutor Sara Polino charged Dal Pino with aggravated voluntary homicide, citing cruelty, futile motives, use of a dangerous instrument, and diminished defense of the victim, who was struck from behind on foot….
The incident comes just two weeks after the reverse occurred: a vehicular attack on Italians by a North African, in which no life sentence was sought, underscoring how the legal system protects illegal aliens and Islamists at the expense of ordinary Italian citizens.
On May 16, Salim El Koudri, a 31-year-old Italian citizen of Moroccan origin, drove his car at high speed into pedestrians in Modena, injuring eight, four critically, including two women who lost their legs. He then exited the vehicle and stabbed a bystander before being subdued by civilians.”

“On May 19, a 32-year-old woman was held captive for three days in an abandoned building in Rome’s Tor Cervara district, gang-raped under threats of death while being drugged, and escaped on the third day. Five men, Gambian, Nigerian, and Malian nationals aged 29 to 43, were arrested on charges of aggravated gang rape.
In April, seven suspects of African and Asian origin were charged with gang-raping a 23-year-old woman in Cesena after filming the assault on their phones. Italian media initially described the suspects as Italian and disclosed their origins only in follow-up reporting….
Since 2018, 11,141 women have been raped by foreign nationals. As of January 2026, more than 30,000 foreign nationals who had received custodial sentences were serving their time outside prison.”
2018 numbers are those reported and triaged.
You can’t count unreported.
Vibrant new neighbors can’t be vibrant from prison. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The bottom of a hole.
So the supranational government to which Italy surrendered its sovereignty is in favor of this invasion, and the national government can’t be bothered to lift a finger either.
Sorry, the Italian people. You’re kind of screwed.
Oppression
What the NAACP frames as a voting rights crisis is more accurately a Democratic Party infrastructure problem. No Black voter lost the right to cast a ballot in Louisiana v. Callais. What changed is whether states must draw districts around racial composition to produce reliably Democratic seats.
Democratic incumbents — Black voters are packed into engineered districts, and this is called “representation.”
When those maps get redrawn, the casualty will not be Black voting power. The casualty will be the Democratic Party’s structural advantage. That is what the boycott is protecting. Young Black athletes are being asked to sacrifice themselves on the altar of a political party’s special privilege.
A small price to pay.
The government should be color blind.
It’s almost like the NAACP is just another arm of the Democratic Party, only somewhat more openly racist than the rest of them which at least pretend otherwise.
Real pressure doesn’t require a young Black man to sacrifice his future. The Black adults who have spent decades building careers and influence aligned with the Democratic Party have the power to apply it. Choosing silence while calling on teenagers to bear the costs is simply a failure of leadership.
They’re Democrats. They always want others to sacrifice for the party’s benefit.
Blacks have been sacrificing themselves for the Democrats for decades.
Wow. A mark on her permanent record. For literally …ing on the job.

Okay, weird problem, weirder solution.
At some point, possibly triggered by number of replies, or overall size of the post+replies, WordPress switches me to a much smaller font. It’s difficult for my old eyes ;-\
The fix, for me at least, is to switch momentarily to the X app, then return to Glibs, and the page re-renders in the normal font.
I can’t guarantee this isn’t a Safari (on iPad) issue, but it only happens on Glibs.
Like I said, weird.
Same issue on the iPad. Just switch from vertical view to horizontal view and back to vertical. The text will resize back.
Ah, even easier! Thanks!

A San Francisco Bay Area woman dubbed by police, prosecutors, and victims as the “party mom” was sentenced to more than three decades in state prison Thursday after she was convicted for hosting alcohol-fueled parties for her teenage son and friends during the pandemic in which she encouraged child sexual assaults.
Shannon Marie O’Connor, also known as Shannon Bruga, received the maximum sentence of 35 years and 10 months. She is expected to serve about 27 years following credit for time served.
O’Connor was convicted on several dozen counts in March, including facilitating the forcible sexual assault of one child onto another child, child endangerment, annoying or molesting a child, and dissuading witnesses from testifying.
“Defendant Shannon O’Connor preyed upon and victimized an entire community of children and their parents for years,” Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said at a briefing after the sentence was handed down. “Today, for the first time in a long time, for these brave, strong and resilient children and their families, there is some justice and we are all grateful for that.”
We’re all victims now.
“Annoying a child” is a crime?
But they are allowed to annoy adults.
Your link is a victim of being sugar free.
It’s illegal to annoy children now? That cuts out half of all my interactions with my niece and nephew!
Why do I get the suspicion that is a lot of BS?
Oops

That’s not funny!
Speaking before more than 900 graduating cadets and their families at the academy’s football stadium near Colorado Springs, JD Vance addressed several topics, ranging from military service to emerging technology. As he neared the end of his address, Vance referenced a recent trend of audiences reacting negatively to commencement speakers.
“You know, this is the only commencement speech that I’m giving this year,” Vance told the crowd. He then said he had watched clips from other ceremonies in which corporate leaders discussed artificial intelligence, drawing vocal disapproval from graduates. For context, in recent weeks, several high-profile graduation speakers have drawn boos while discussing AI and its growing influence on society.
The vice president then made a joke that immediately made the audience laugh. “Now, you can’t boo me. I’m the vice president of the United States,” Vance said. The attendees laughed, and the comment quickly spread across social media after video clips from the event began circulating online.
The joke may have landed well with the audience in attendance, but reactions online were far more mixed. Social media users quickly weighed in after the clip gained traction across multiple platforms. One user wrote, “His ego is a delicate flower.” Another commenter responded, “Oh honey, you’ll always be booed… for the rest of your life, wherever you go.” A third viewer wrote, “Oh, we can boo you.” One user added, “Yes, JD, they can boo you. It’s called the First Amendment.”
And then the prissy douchebags came swarming out of the woodwork.
