It’s chewsday, innit? The Browns traded Miles Garrett to the Rams in a blockbuster trade. AJ Brown is headed to the Patriots. And I missed the tennis yesterday, so I’m out of the loop. And that’s it for sports.
It’s a big primary day. Time for some over performing of expectations, which will result in a bunch of money being dumped into general elections people have no chance of winning. And that goes for both sides of the aisle.
No way does this stand. Unless every other excluded group, like those with asthma, flat feet, and the beetus, also have standing.
Principals over principles. I still don’t understand why they’re standing behind this imbecile. Do they have not other options?
I’m shocked! OK, I’m not really shocked. And you shouldn’t be either.
I know this sounds crazy, but I suspect there’s a scam going on here. Doers that make me racist? Or sexist? Oh well, so be it.
I’m shocked (part 2)! This one is even less shocking than the other one.
The horse has left the barn. I guess it’s time to close the gate.
I hope this is true. Because that dude has already taken advantage of us and now it’s gonna result in the entire government being run by communist filth.
Of course they want more. That’s how they got in the condition they’re in.
LOL, takes one to know one, I suppose. It’s not a huge story, but it sure is funny.
What an odd video. And I have no problem with that. Same for this one. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Chewsday, dear friends.
Sloopy is an early bird…
I said my good mornings in the previous thread, but it was already too late. 😞
Good Morning, GT.
I’m still sleepy, but I’m connected to work.
How are you?
I’m OK, but I need to get to bed earlier. I leave too many things to do right before I go to bed, so I drag my feet.
Sleepcastination?
I’m not a procrastinator. At best I’m an enthusiastic ameteur.
I’m assuming he’s on UK time.
I looked at the clock just now, saw it was almost 8 and my brain went “The links are about to drop.”
Too much conditioning.
Whenever I see a Subaru ad, I think it’s lunchtime.
All of you east coast peeps are early birds.
Early bird gets the worm, or some bullshit.
Are we sure that’s not actually why she supports him?
She supports the party, no matter who.
Principals. Not principles…
She is at least two out of those three and probably all three so yeah.
I’m waiting for the Democrat party to put “anti-Zionism” into their platform.
“ban on transgender military service is unconstitutional”
If transgenderism is prima facie indicator of severe mental illness, and it is, it should be a legit disqualifier all the practical considerations aside.
Lifetime Judicial Tenure was a mistake, just like academic tenure, only worse.
Sure but to be fair I may have overestimated how difficult it is to adequately dilate one’s artificially crafted vagina while under fire at a forward operating base. Maybe it’s easier than I thought, you know?
There’s a certain pucker factor under those combat conditions, just sayin’
If they have to be in the military, concntrate them in forward assault recon forces which find enemy forces by advancing in the most flamboyantly visible manner possible.
Who cares if these people become useless moral drains? The tax payer has to pay for their mental disordered wish list, and them actually doing whatever the military needs be damned. This isn’t about the ability to have the military do its job, but about social conditioning.
I don’t really think it’s “mental illness” so much as confusion and narcissism. We don’t necessarily call people who pretend various other roles “mentally ill”.
As for the military, it is a behavior that is probably disruptive to their goals. Let them serve but kick them out if they cause trouble. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But as with every other issue, the left and the not-left are arguing past each other because the left has completely lost grip of reality.
Let them serve, but they must follow the military standards of dress, performance, barracks, hair and makeup for men, etc.
In other words, they aren’t snowflakes, and will be treated as any other recruit.
“Let them serve, but they must follow the military standards of dress, performance, barracks, hair and makeup for men, etc.”
Actually this would be a fail. The problem isn’t whether they comply with SOPs, but if they will actually be there and of value during a conflict. These people will all end up being liabilities to their units as they will not be able to deploy for conflicts. Heck, the amount of women in the military that “suddenly” end up pregnant every time there is a conflict and the massive disruptions that causes alone should be proof this stuff should not be allowed. The military doesn’t care about your picadillos. It needs you to be there when the breaking shit and killing idiots phase comes to pass.
I think it’s likely a mental illness, and like most mental illness, it’s accompanied by other mental illnesses. That said, I think transgenderism itself is relatively harmless and I have no problem with crossdressing adults, what I do have the problem with is the “normalization” of it and parents (mostly mothers I suspect) pushing it on their poor confused kids. That is straight up muchausen-by-proxie.
A little too-local news, not for me, but for a shooting buddy:
https://www.kgun9.com/news/community-inspired-journalism/marana/bullet-hits-playground-report-cites-police-errors-at-shooting-range
Word ‘round the campfire is, the police officers used the pistol range for their rifle training session because, “…the rifle range was muddy.” Then they proceeded to shoot at head-height silhouette targets from prone at 25 yards, which seems to be how the bullet escaped the range.
Nice work, guys!
Somewhat surprisingly, the Sergeant in charge of the training session is catching a charge for this dumbfuckery.
But… totality of the circs! Based on my training and experience! Heroes!
Evil Sheldon’s story reminds me of the Mythbusters episode ‘Cannonball’ where said projectile bounced out of the quarry they were firing the improvised cannon in and then passed through a couple of houses.
IMO it’s a symptom of some underlying mental illness(es). Not like someone who thinks they’re Jesus Christ or Napoleon or whoever, but they’re suffering from severe depression or anxiety or whatever, then they latch onto the idea that all their problems are because they were “born into the wrong body” and they fixate on changing that as the only way to become happy.
(that’s for the hormone/surgery crowd, not the fashionable they/thems or the locker room pervs).
I have playground envy.
I want some of those shade sails for mine.
That is believable. I think they are mostly just really confused gays who are being fed lies by wokesters who want to pat themselves on the back with how much they “care”. It’s a wonder that more aren’t coming away from that experience messed up in the head.
Word ‘round the campfire is, the police officers used the pistol range for their rifle training session because, “…the rifle range was muddy.” Then they proceeded to shoot at head-height silhouette targets from prone at 25 yards, which seems to be how the bullet escaped the range.
Something similar happened at a gun club I used to belong to. The police officers at fault were kicked out and their contract to use the property for training cancelled. It probably helped that the stupid police were from a different municipality plus the club officers were friends with both the local police chief and local district court judges.
Yes there is a particular LE org we no longer host at ours for ND over berm violations. Don’t know if it’s PD, SD, Staties or who exactly.
I offer a compromise. They can serve, but they must live up to all standards of both genders, there’s no special treatment, and no allowed surgeries/hormones while enlisted.
The activists will holler about “medically necessary health care” so no, that compromise will never happen.
medically necessary health care
Someone else paying for my surgery!!!
Sensually confused mentally ill people have no business in the military, you know, with all those weapons around. For the sake of simple sanity keep them out. There is enough to put up with in the military without having to deal with obviously crazy people
Sensually confused mentally ill people
They’re not certain if it feels good or bad?
When a hot war inevitably comes along, not another stupid “nation-building exercise” but a real one, I bet all the woke luxury accommodations will be quietly ignored.
Homple nails it.
Separate the sexes as well. Or dont allow women to serve. It’s not worth the chaos.
After my time in the army I would also ban women from serving.
Of course they want more.
A great example of media bias: Using “more needs to be done” or “it doesn’t go far enough” as the obviously reasonable position to take.
MOAR GUBMINT!
Always with these people…
Our civilization is decaying and falling apart, because instead of maintaining infrastructure and offering the basic services at a reasonable cost, government people now run on ultra expensive social justice promises that never ever will come true.
“customer of size”
Another case of two sides cannot hold a reasonable argument when one of them does inhabit reality.

The music links don’t play for me in the US.

“Defend” against what, The Associated Press? Reality? Common sense?
Reality.
It’s a losing battle.
I’m getting that [Monty Python] Black Knight vibe.
They are defending it from people that have recognized how mismanaged the state is in every facet and criminally corrupt those democrats really are and want that to stop?
Principals over principles
The principle is power so no conflict.
The story got too long and boring so I tapped out. I suspect a lot of woke racial BS which makes it international news instead the local snooze it should be.
TLDR version: a tract of land in old New Orleans (7th Ward, *very* close to Downtown, the Super Dome, etc.) was put under contract by a real estate firm owned by a city council member for $15K. I’m not an expert on NOLA real estate, but a corner lot of decent size (it appears similar in size to a smallish hotel across the street) is almost certainly worth more that that, by an order of magnitude I’d guess.
That sort of massive undervaluation happens in NYS all the time, with the municipality/board/whatever using the excuse that the buyer’s plans for the land is of the greatest long-term benefit to “the community.”
And naturally, the buyer is always someone’s brother-in-law? Even funnier (not like a clown) that in this particular case what they’re selling is the location of a community garden.
I still think that was gonna happen anyway.
But yes, we need to remove ourselves from pointless foreign entanglements and that is not the only one.
Unfortunately the communist filth is likely to engage in active help to destroy the other side in that entanglement.
I do not get how people think corporations go bad because of bad people taking over, but government never – EVER – would have the same happen to it… And government attracts people that cant accomplish shit. There are no consequences for doing bad,
But they have good intentions!!!
Yeah, that’s the issue. Why do government people always have “good intentions” but what we get is disaster at a massive premium?
But many do acknowledge that “bad people” take over government. Look at Trumphitler and his minions. They just falsely assume that their guys are angels in comparison.

I would like to say I’m surprised that Sikhs get religious exemptions in a country that bans literal praying by Christians, but I’m not at all surprised.
They’re brown. That is the sophisticated moral calculus that rules these days.
Sounds like those knives aren’t just “ceremonial”, either.
I’m sure there’s a ceremony for killing infidels.
Sikhs aren’t Muslim, and they’ve been faithful British subjects for centuries.
If I had thought Sikhs were Muslim, I would have appended “…did he make the guy face Mecca?”
Sikhs are infidels.
My impression that Sikhs are generally good citizens and this really was a bad apple.
Referring to killing “infidels” is kind of a Muslim allusion isn’t it?
this really was a bad apple
How dare we consider the individual and not the whole class! No one is anything but an interchangeable cog of the class system (and oppression)!!
I am of the (perhaps unjustified) opinion that English has appropriated “infidel” to mean “person who refuses to convert to my religion.”
Whether or not Sikhs are (collectively – shudder) “good citizens” doesn’t have nearly the explanatory power of oikophobia in the case of “oi, U got a loicence for that potato peeler m8?”
Well the true explanatory power is found in cosmopolitan nihilism.
NA, I’m using “good citizens” in the sense my cousin would – he’s retired NYPD and the world was generally divided into “citizens” and “shitbirds”.
i.e., no concerns if a bunch of Sikhs move into the neighborhood.
Sorry pal, but if i don’t get to carry a knife for personal safety or just because, then you don’t get one for your religion. I don’t have a criminal record either, I pay my taxes, and cut my lawn.

I attended an all-hands transpretender acceptance briefing at DLI in 2016. After 90 minutes of jibber jabber, a sergeant I didn’t care for surprised me by asking a pertinent question: do soldiers use the restrooms of the gender they identify with or with their “assigned at birth” gender? What about those who are in the process of transistioning?
Well, he didn’t get a straight answer, but good on him for asking anyway. No one else had the balls/ovaries to ask anything. My time in the Army was an intriguing era of various kinds of military derp. Here’s a sample:

We went from DADT to promote all the gays and punish those that didn’t like them overnight.
That was the private sector, 30 years removed.
It seems Netanyahu’s strategy is help Hezbollah become a larger, better armed version of Hamas.
The next October war should be a real humdinger.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur_War
“But but but Israel killed their leaders!”
Yes, but those leaders were geezers who couldn’t poor piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel. Their replacements are smarter and more aggressive.
Hezbollah has been around for 44 years. That’s almost as long as the Cold War lasted. Their organization is intact and they have not given up.
Pretty much the only thing holding them back is their desire not to get Lebanon bombed to hell again. They got what they wanted out of that war.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Lebanon_War
***
The 2006 Lebanon War was a 34-day armed conflict in Lebanon, fought between Hezbollah and Israel. The war started on 12 July 2006, and continued until a United Nations-brokered ceasefire went into effect in the morning on 14 August 2006, though it formally ended on 8 September 2006 when Israel lifted its naval blockade of Lebanon. It marked the third Israeli invasion into Lebanon since 1978.
***
I find it troubling how quickly Hezbollah can flip from being Lebanese to Iranian and back again, usually described by the same people who tell me that Sunnis and Shiites hate each other and don’t cooperate.
Then again, I don’t understand why Eurolandians want to be ruled from Brussels, so what do I know?
They all hate Israel’s existence so there is that in common.
There have been many groups called Hezbollah over the centuries. The name comes from a verse in the Quran (5:56).
fa inna hezbollah, hum al-ghalibun = truly the party of god are the victorious ones
The verse is on the Hezbollah flag with a hand holding up an AK.
True story – one of my NSA coworkers got chewed out for buying a Hezbollah t-shirt in Beirut. It was a decoration in our cluster of cubicles.
I imagine that if you worked for the Mets, putting up a Yankees banner would have consequences.

Fattest hogs at the trough.
Easy, it was set up in a panic to redress the stupidity the government had already imposed. We don’t got time for oversight – there’s money to burn!
I’m beyond believing there was any good intention whatsoever. No, it was set up specifically for grifters to profit.
And let us all thank DONALD TRUMP for that.
We should get the CA results in a few weeks, once the results have been smoothed out.
You can’t give an election you steal the veneer of legitimacy unless you wait until all the votes cast by the plebes have been counted and you know how much the vote counters need to bring in to get the desired outcome.
Sounds a lot like the global temperature massaging in climate change modeling.
You are not remiss in pointing out that the “We believe in SCIENCE!!” crowd sees the normalization process as a step where they can inject whatever bias they want the output to show into the process.
It’s too obvious if you fake the data or have measurement sites that are drastically (and always in the MOAR direction) impacted by local distortions. And they started there. But it takes a far more discerning mind to comb through what might appear to be random normalization to catch the bias. The fact it was easily picked out happened because these tools are just so lazy and think the audience so stupid, that a blatant normalization trend – always in the increase column – was gonna be missed. Stack 5 or more layers of fake normalizations, and suddenly we are looking at water/desert world and then they can peddle commie shit.
The process will always end in the result these people want, if they are in charge of it.
Speaking of chewsday…
Lily’s been on Bravecto chewables her entire life, never had a tick bite. Hundreds of ticks on her (’cause we hike in the woods) yes, but never one latched on. This quarter, the supplier fucked up and sent the topical. I was literally unable to reach bare skin on her back, her undercoat is that impenetrable. Hopefully there’s some residual effects until I can get the replacement in.
We’re seeing the second summer in a row of no mosquitoes. I’ve seen a couple but usually by this time it was not fun trying to work/play outside. Not complaining.
No explanation other than not much snow/rain. We’re in a very dry spring again, grass looks like late August. Watering the garden to try to get it started.
I hated the topical; our last Plott-mix was double-coated and I could barely get to the skin.
The ticks are insane this year. Ive pulled more off of myself in the past 3 weeks than the prior two years combined. My girls find 2 or 3 every time they go outside.
If you have some land, get guinea hens. They are annoying and loud, but they’re expert tick eaters and they will clear house in less than a season.
No ticks this year.
Only had a couple earwigs in the house so far.
I need to spray the tempo and hit the yard with seven.
My boarder has guinea hens, I assume to make sure nobody complains about their dog picking up ticks. Plus they’re already keeping poultry do why not? And they’re breeding English Springers and mini Dachunds…
I think they just like animals.
I blame OBE.

I made a 5:1 martini with Kyro gin. It was good. While I was at the liquor store I decided to buy akavit so I could finally taste it. I can taste it’s potential, but it did remind me that I never see a cocktail made from chicken broth and Everclear.
*challenge accepted*
Akavit sales will tank when Stoli releases their “poultry seasoning” flavored vodka.
I like my dry gin martinis with nothing in it but a couple of drops of Umami sauce.
For me, I need at least some vermouth to make it a martini. Otherwise, I’m just drinking gin.
Kyro + Noily Pratt = some alchemical voodoo wherein strongly flavored components cancel each other out to make a relatively neutrally flavored drink wherein alcohol may be rapidly consumed without notice.
“For me, I need at least some vermouth to make it a martini. Otherwise, I’m just drinking gin.”
Vermouth ruins it.
/FIGHT ME!!
AlexinCT:
Sure thing. You’re wrong. No vermouth, no Martini. Either a pink gin or a chilled gin, but not a Martini.
There’s nothing wrong with drinking those drinks, but stop trying to say they’re Martinis.
Chicken broth, I’ll have to look for, but off the top of my head, I know of at least three drinks that use beef broth/bouillon (Bloody Bull, Bullshot, Corrected Beef Broth).
I do like a bloody bull at breakfast, but otherwise savory cocktails are kind of a rarity for me.

McLenithan, of Salem, kidnapped the women around midnight from their tent, bound them, covered their eyes, and threatened to sexually assault them, prosecutors alleged.”

“Far-left New York congressional hopeful Darializa Avila Chevalier called for the seizure of property from landlords and the abolition of police and prisons in more unhinged social media posts — in which she also rejected the existence of the state of Israel.
Chevalier, who is challenging incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat in New York’s 13th Congressional District primary later this month, has been endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani despite a series of offensive messages that include calling Joe Biden a “rapist” and “war criminal” during the 2020 presidential election, referring to the US as a “f—ing disgrace,” gleefully talking about wiping her dirty hands on the American flag and describing interracial relationships involving white females as “fetishizing ugly colonizer women.”

I seen stuff from the right as well recently on abolition prisons
*of prisons.
Who on the right wants to abolish prisons?
the people who want to split punishment for crimes between lashing and hanging with nothing in between and thus save the prison money.
the right meaning the weird fringes of the online right.
Yeah, fringe. Those types aren’t winning elections, unlike the fringe of the left which now is in complete control of one of the two relevant parties in the US.
I’m close to that position.
Need some chain gangs in the mix though.

A Nantucket church on the exclusive Massachusetts island long favored by former President Joe Biden canceled its annual Fourth of July reading of America’s founding documents, citing an effort to understand “our own whiteness” and drawing sharp criticism from conservatives.
“Our cancelling the 4th of July celebration this year reflects … an on-going process within the congregation to better understand our own whiteness,” wrote Nantucket Unitarian Universalists (NUU) and the Rev. Erin Splaine of the Second Congregational Meeting House Society in a letter published by the Nantucket Current on Thursday.

A new twist on The Stranger.
Why are revelations like this never ever, a surprise? I mean I would freak out if I find out these gooners are actually decent humans worried about something real…
I guess we know who doesn’t read the links….
What links?
I think it’s a given that paid rioters who have nothing else in their lives have always been likely to be the dregs of society.
Someone on the interwebs just told me Talafrico’s girl…. I say AI…. And definitely Canadian too…
I say SugarFree, not AI.
OK…
and diabetic?
Palate cleanser…
Damn that loose shirt was hiding a whole lot.
I wonder what that inscription reads. “I’m with stupid”?
I thought it was a bar code.
Looks like Hindi. Or more likely Sanskrit – some bit of wisdom, no doubt. 🙄
“Donald Trump has announced who will replace Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard following her planned resignation.
Bill Pulte, Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) and Chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, will now serve as acting Director of National Intelligence, the President announced on Tuesday morning.
Pulte, 38, will replace outgoing DNI Tulsi Gabbard, who recently announced she would step back from her job as her husband deals with a rare form of bone cancer.”

Moral high ground
The revelation, which follows scandals related to his offensive old Reddit posts and his tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol, are leading some Democrats to question whether Platner undermines their credibility in going after Republicans on issues of moral character.
That’s just silly.
Republicans are intrinsically evil.
LOL
They can’t seriously be pretending that anything matters other than taking back Congress? The base is a bunch of loser freaks so naturally that is exactly what they are going to nominate in every election in hopes of reaching that goal.
“Resembling” is doing a lot of work here. His tattoo is the exact same as the SS hat badge. It doesn’t look like a pirate flag, it is one of the two symbols if the SS.
Here is a lighthearted reminder.

Anything goes when you’re stopping Hitler. You’re even allowed to go back in time and murder a baby.
You know who killed Hitler?
Hitler. So being like Hitler is the key to stopping Hitler!
If voters in Maine care so much about “moral character,” why is Platner still leading in the polls?
Oh, how I laughed:

Hackers breached a senior US Space Force official’s Instagram account and temporarily posted a string of pro-Iran and anti-US propaganda on Sunday, some of it invoking the Vietnam War.
One video reviewed by CNN used audio from “Hanoi Hannah,” an infamous Vietnam War propagandist, telling US soldiers to “leave a sinking ship.” The video also featured images of late Iranian security official Ali Larijani, who was killed weeks into the US-Israel-Iran war.

Grummun, if you’re lurking: ISTR that the alt text goes somewhere unintuitive. (I
have only helped edit in WP and not in a while.)
🙄 So much for my formatting!
It’s also important to distinguish between Alt Text and Title Tags/Hover tags, the later of which often gets called “alt text”.
Alt text is accessibility and will generally be parsed/read by text readers and show up if an image fails to load.
Title Tags/tooltips are the sort of ‘alternative’ caption that appears when you hover over the element.
I used to do the later, but it became increasingly difficult in the word press editor to figure out how to include it and too much work to directly edit the HTML. Further, I found myself trying to force clever little things on every image rather than using it when it could be genuinely funny.
IOW – I have nothing useful to add to your question. I don’t know how to correctly do either flavor in the WP editor anymore…
I feel her pain.

A Florida principal who was placed on leave over a song lyric attributed to her in the school yearbook says she never approved of nor had any input in the quote’s inclusion.
Katie O’Connell, principal of Trout Creek Academy in St. Johns County was placed on leave on May 20 after a page in the yearbook dedicated to her featured a song lyric by the rapper Fetty Wap, according to Action News Jax.
The controversial quote in question comes from the rapper’s 2015 release ‘Trap Queen’ and was featured on the first page of the book.
The Trout Creek Academy yearbook page read, “Everybody hating, we just call them fans though! – Mrs. O’Connell.”
The song itself contains a multitude of references to drug dealing and strip clubs, leading some angered parents to question whether it was an appropriate choice for a school yearbook display.

Man, have times changed. We had a “Class Will” when I graduated. I left “a paper bag and a tube of glue” to two underclassmen.
[They were into glue sniffing, but I wasn’t] It was printed, distributed, and no one ever said “boo” about it.
Last night I saw a clip of a Ferrari EV doing a Transformers-style conversion into a Port a Potty.
Very entertaining.
See – AI is useful.
I can’t find it again, but somebody did spoof of the yellow stallion crest and replaced it with a turquois version with a poodle in the same pose.
Does it qualify for any race?
‘“You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me,” a U.S. official told the news outlet Trump said to the Israeli leader. “I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.”’
He’s not wrong.
That’s not why they hate Israel.
Nope.
Oh to be a fly on that wall.
Trump being the populist he is, how long until Tucker, Kelly and Owens are back in his inner circle..
Open season on black children
The jury returned the verdict for Chikei Rick Chow. Chow, 61, who is Asian, shot Cyrus Carmack-Belton in the back after chasing him from his convenience store in Columbia. He maintained he acted to defend his son.
The killing sent waves of anguish and grief through the African American community in Richland County, where nearly half the population is Black.
——-
Defense lawyer Jack Swerling said they’re very pleased with the verdict but also feel for Carmack-Belton’s family.
“My heart goes out to them, but 14-year-old kid should not be roaming the streets of Columbia or South Carolina with semiautomatic pistol loaded and ready to fire,” he said.
He needed that pistol to defend himself from institutional racism.
“who is Asian”
You don’t say.
Doubt. But that is the narrative that needs to be promoted. 🙄
I bet you wouldn’t have to scratch any of those DNC “strategists” too deeply to uncover a nagging terror that Platner will go rogue, like Fetterman, and not just robotically tow the Party lion.
Except he’s the real prog-derp deal, isn’t he? Unlike Fetterman who didn’t play at being one that I can recall.
Apparently Collins is an evil right-wing maniac who must be stopped at all costs.
They need someone left of Collins who is practically a Democrat.
Collins is an evil right-wing maniac
And when I hear the name Susan Collins, I think squishy center left swamp creature who’s only value is in keeping the numbers in R favor so the Ds don’t get too much power to foist communism on us. And she’ll generally be the most supportive of the worst aspects of the R agenda and least supportive/hostile to the best aspects.
I don’t know how we can peacefully coexist with such very divergent interpretations of the world when the state has so much power so as to impose its will on you…
Well, that’s the story they have to run with.
Because “we have to take back Congress so we can dial up the grift to 11” might be giving the game away.
“This is as gay as it gets, folks,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. “It’s so gay. Very, very gay. Maybe the gayest sport there is. Many people are saying it. The gays are going to love this. No one has done more for the gays than me — no one. It’s the month for being gay, so enjoy the soccer match. But just this once. And to all our tremendous soccer athletes — we commend you for your bravery and standing up proudly for your lifestyle.”
Trump continued, “Some people call it football. Did you know that? They do it in Europe and other places, apparently. Gay football. You have to say ‘gay football,’ or people might think you’re talking about real football. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

I read that not in Trumps voice but in Chevy Chase’s voice. Flows better
They nailed his speech pattern – I could hear it in my head.
I don’t know if it’s a good thing or bad thing that I wasn’t sure if this was real or not until I saw the link to Babylonbee.
inorite?
Exact same reaction here.
It’s awesome.
Despite not always on the right track, it’s refreshing to have a president who calls a spade a spade.
Me too
Onerous burden
The Trump administration is counting on Medicaid work requirements to save the government billions of dollars. But well before the rules formally go into effect Jan. 1, they’re costing already-strapped states millions or tens of millions to implement.
State health departments are having to funnel resources into hiring more staff, paying for overtime, and upgrading their aging technology systems so they can determine which low-income residents are working, volunteering, caregiving, or studying enough hours to keep their Medicaid coverage. They are also building new systems to determine who is sick enough to qualify for an exemption.
Democratic state officials, most of whom oppose the policy, say it’s an unfair burden at a time when many states can least afford it – amid drops in tax revenue and federal funding as a result of other policies in last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The work requirements in that party-line law apply only to states that expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, and only to people enrolled in that expansion, who typically make more money than those covered by traditional Medicaid.
I find these claims to be unconvincing.
Because throwing trillions of dollars at people who should be working is NOT a burden? JFC.
Their argument seems to be that we should ignore fraud because it’s a lot of extra work to track it down. Far better to allow 50% of the budget to go to criminals than to create a system that makes it harder for people to steal.
These are the same people who think we should ignore shoplifters so I guess we shouldn’t be surprised.
Eliminate Medicaid.
Problem solved.
“Krugman: Obviously, we need to defang Trump as much as possible, and make sure that neither he nor anybody who follows in his footsteps has power after the next two elections. But beyond that, we really need to do a thorough purging of the United States. We need a deMAGAfication, and that is, you know, I’m not going over the top by using a word that’s very similar to the denazification that we pursued successfully after World War Two in Germany.”

You can bet Krugman doesn’t have the balls to personally be point man in trying to confiscate, say, Gadsden flags or MAGA hats.
Fuck off, commie.
The fuck is he gonna do? The entire south, Midwest, and mountain west (except CO and NM) are all MAGA country.
Is he gonna send hordes of trannies?
Scott Adams got a lot of criticism when he predicted that Republicans would be hunted.
If they are going to hunt the Republicans imagine what they would do if they ever find our little site. We’d all be declared “non-game species” and open to being killed in any manner, 365 days/year, and with no bag limit.
I’m still young enough to wish they would try.
“Salah Dine Habib, a native of Mauritania in west Africa, entered the US around 2023 and was arrested May 21, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Habib claimed to be homosexual on his asylum application, which in his home country is a criminal offense punishable by being stoned to death….
However, Habib was allegedly exposed as a fraud after he married Newton’s stepdaughter Chelsea in September 2025.”

I recently read somewhere that we (and the Brits) have legions of NGO/non-profit workers that coach asylum seekers to say that they are gay for the specific reason of illegally entering.
Another example where self-ID is meaningless.
I would guess that every western country following this path of submission is doing the same.
He was into man meat until this woman turned him away from his wicked ways???
Shya…
Dumbass. I wonder how many of the millions of fraudulent “asylum” claimants have played the gay card.
There’s always the Turkish approach. One way to get out of conscription in Turkey is to submit a photo of yourself being anally penetrated by a man in which both your and his face are visible. One wonders what they do with the accumulated pics.

To be fair, Soros and that Singham guy don’t hire for brains.
North Carolina, for example, is asking everyone on Medicaid — even those not subject to the work requirements — to pay more out of pocket for services. And Arizona’s legislature is in tense negotiations with the governor over a state budget that would slash spending on Medicaid, food stamps, state universities and other programs in order to meet state obligations, including $14 million to implement Medicaid work requirements.
“We don’t have a bunch of extra money to go around,” said Republican Sen. Brad Hudson of Missouri, which expanded Medicaid by ballot initiative in 2020. “We had to make cuts this year. We’re probably going to have to make cuts next year. And, after a while, you can get into cutting some things that are pretty close to what all of us agree are essential services.”
Limited resources? Priorities? Hard choices?
What a world, what a world.
Who are “all of us”?
Because I’m willing to bet that list is about 10x too large.
Idiots in Idaho expanded Medicaid by ballot initiative.
It’s blown up the budged predictably.
So much derp to choose from in this Daily Show clip about trannies in the military…
-the military spends 8x more on Viagra than gender-affirming care!
-the cost of replacing trans troops is $960 million!
-Fort Sill is 120 degrees most days!
-trans too strong for sportsball but too weak for military?!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVNoefJgPxk
Pretending women’s sportsball is the same thing as sportsball is so dishonest.
Just five seconds of watching a commercial for that trash makes me want to find an older TV and punch my fist through the screen.
Save the CRTs!
If anything needs a Krugman style purge it’s the military.
Eliminate all the 4F types.
