The 49ers pummeled the Giants. And their fans are picking up the slack after the Raiders bolted for Vegas. France almost hung a hundred on Namibia. Ohio State heads to South Bend with some unanswered questions, in my opinion, to take on Notre Dame. And the last week and change of the MLB regular season is gonna be wild. I wish there was more to discuss, but that’s it. Moving on…
This whole thing is fucking ridiculous. Struggle sessions can’t be too far off at this point. At least when it comes to retards who pretend for a living.All us normies who deal in reality will be sitting back laughing.
One of these two fucked Harvey Weinstein. Twice.
How very gracious of them! Letting a private industry set their own terms of business and letting them do their own risk assessment is quite a benevolent thing to do. Unfortunately, the strings attached to the deal should be a non-starter to any business with an ounce of self-respect. Or anybody who hates fascism.
This should cost hundreds of people their jobs. Namely the idiots who pushed and pushed for this plane to get funded and built in lieu of other options. And that includes a bunch of elected officials. But since they’re all government people they’ll end up getting promoted and/or get a fat taxpayer-funded pension.
Hoisted!
Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, Brooks. No, not our Brooks. The dickhead one from the NYT. Anyway, he’s getting pummeled and I wouldn’t be shocked if he claims to have received death threats soon, and then just deletes his twitter (I ain’t calling it X, sorry) account.
MORE! MORE! MORE! We really need to figure out how to charter a passenger train. These buses aren’t nearly as efficient in helping these people as trains would be. Plus they’re using green energy!
Did they contract school lunches to Chipotle? I feel bad for those kids. But I ate a questionable country fried steak last night in Kingsville, TX and I think I’m starting to share some of their symptoms. So yes, I’m pretty sure I will stand, or rather sit on the toilet, in solidarity with them shortly.
This is fucking stupid. Wait till these plaintiffs find out that that B-52 shots contain no airplane components. Or that a baked Alaska contains no pieces of the 49th state. Scummy bastards.
I’m sure some of this is racially motivated. I would not be surprised at all. However, and I say that as someone who is not a knee-jerk fan of the cops, the rates of arrest being 7x higher show that the people they’re pulling over are much, much more likely to have an outstanding warrant or some legally justifiable reason to be arrested. Otherwise…they wouldn’t be arrested. The rest of the piece is just bullshit soft bigotry of low expectations by saying the city taxpayers should pay for minor safety repairs because minorities are somehow too poor or too stupid to manage them own their own.
You could changer a couple words and this would still be accurate. Either way, it’s still a rocking song. The same could be said for this one. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Friday and weekend, dear friends.
Uh huh… that reads to me like “We’re facing a housing market apocalypse if all the insurers keep ditching our state… so here, we’ll give you cover to raise rates using our favorite political bugaboo — but you have to stick around and write policies in areas that we let catch on fire.”
The rate increases are going to have to be substantial, I expect. Yay. So glad the state is busy micromanaging markets (and doing such a bang up job! Everything is so much more affordable in California, after all!) instead of doing their basic functions and everything.
Insurers should just keep walking out the door and leave Commiefornia hanging.
Even after I move, not selling the house for a while most likely (after all — I tried getting out once (Johnny.. ONCE!) and had to come back). So I’d prefer some sort of insurance stick around. Selfish of me, I know… But aren’t we all a little selfish on such matters sometimes?
areas that we let catch on fire
Or, as in some cases, actively set on fire (NG helicopter doing drug war surveillance).
California has distorted the market for years. I don;t understand why any property or casualty insurers hang around.
Re: F-35 — at this point I’m firmly of the opinion that similar to the Pentagon having no idea how to fight a war anymore (because they haven’t really had to in forever), the remaining aircraft consortium only knows how to fleece the taxpayers with the most bloated programs they can come up with… giving us the equivalent of flying Maus tanks that are too complex and need to much maintenance and are so few (because they’re so expensive) that they won’t matter. The F-22 was the last decent program (and even it was iffy), I think we would be better served to slightly modernize F-16s and F-15s (Israel still gutting and rebuilding them?) if we can find a company that will just produce the shit out of them.
Of course, I also think over-reliance on drones is a mistake since EMP, jamming and hacking are more likely than not going to knock them out of the battlespace.
I say “We’ll see”… but I rather hope not — because that level of full on war won’t be pretty.
Should have set it on the first reply — but “Morning, Sloopy!” And good morning to the rest of ya as well.
Some time between 2000 and now, I saw an article about a private company that had designed and built a $20million fighter jet that they were offering to whatever military was willing to buy them, using entirely off the shelf existing tech. It was years ago, so I don’t know if anyone bought any. But I bet those six or seven jets are easier to maintain than that one F-35 for the same dollars. And if the F-35s are only 55% flightworthy, that points to a 10:1ish ratio in the air. Is the F-35 really going to have a 10:1 kill ratio with the current militaries running them?
That pretty much describes the F-16 program. Take 1 engine and some of the avionics off the F-15 to make a fighter half as big and half as expensive.
The Saab Gripen is similar.
You may be thinking of the F-20 Tigershark
No, that’s too old, it was something new after I’d started at the state, so 2008-2010ish
The “one plane that will do everything” requirement they used for the F-35 was idiotic. Like many predicted, it resulted in an overly complex, unreliable aircraft that doesn’t do anything really well – except transfer taxpayer money to defense contractors and defense contractor campaign funds to politicians.
The longevity of the A-10 and the B-52 is due to their utility in a single role. (Killing Tanks, and heavy bomb payload). Tools need to be suited to their task.
In a punch, a swiss army knife can be pressed into service, but if given the choice, I’d rather use a dedicated knife, a purpose built screwdriver, a dedicated canopener, etc. They simply get the job they were designed for done better than something that had to compromise to fit the extra features in.
That’s why a modernized F-15 (air superiority) and F-16 (cheap as hell, fighter/bomber role) is my first thought. As long as “modernize” doesn’t turn into the same stupid bloat we’re trying to avoid in the first place (hah!).
There have been several new versions of the F-15 designed to be “Silent ” or “Stealthy”. As far as I know, the Air Force isn’t interested.
https://www.militarytoday.com/aircraft/f15se_silent_eagle.htm
The latest variant of the F-15 (the EX) and the F-16 (The new Viper block IV) both cost upwards of $80 million per unit….
Isn’t the F-35 almost twice that? Probably depends if you are including the development cost versus the just the incremental unit cost to produce.
That’s why Obama shutting down the F-22 production line was such a waste. The cost of producing a few more was nothing compared to the cost of designing a new aircraft then standing up a production line.
The numbers I posted are the per unit cost. The research and pipelines already exist (but would need to be reappropriated since they now are just manufacturing for export). Shutting down the F-22 was all politics and dumb.
“EMP, jamming and hacking are more likely than not going to knock them out of the battlespace.”
Is there any way to get an area-effect EMP that doesn’t require a nuke? Serious question – I have no idea.
Yes. My favorite has to be the Explosively Pumped Flux Compression Generator, just from the name.
Ask Hayek.
I think she’s busy with her boyfriend.
Or Hobbit. I did EMP testing on military air and ground systems.
Short answer: Yes BUT. ..
Everything nowadays has been hardened against EMP thanks to the testing we did back in the 80’s.
There is, but the trick is it will damage your own stuff in you are in the effects zone, so for close combat – not such a great idea. Unless of course you aren’t relying on high-tech-toys to fight.
EMP – Good thing we don’t have all the planes using fly by wire, and that EMP only impacts enemy targets and not friendlies.
One of the reasons the F-35 is so expensive is the shielding of the electronics (done w/ gold) since every F-35 A & C variant is a de facto multi-domain jammer too.
I’d say he should pick up a deal to endorse whatever $30 a pop whiskey he was drinking: “The alcoholic reporter’s snort of choice!” — but apparently you need to be obnoxiously trans to advertise booze these days and all.
That was always the case.

Johnny Walker Black. It’s everywhere, and gets marked up hard at airports.
Heh. Johnny Walker Black isn’t bad, honestly. It’s what I switch to if I’m still drinking after my third single malt.
Paying $30 a shot is bad, even at an airport.

The Bad Person(tm) part of my brain keeps going from “Finish the Wall” to “Those chain gun auto turrets in Aliens are looking better and better….” Cruel of me to even think — but this is a full on invasion at this point and really should be treated as such.
Defense in depth, walls, turrets, minefields, and active kill teams hunting coyotes.
I drove about 200 miles along the border yesterday. Saw people casually walking across the river in Laredo and literally hundreds of them standing around the federal and county courthouse as I was heading southeast from there. It’s bad. It’s really, really bad. And my biggest fear is that if the Feds don’t get their arms around it soon, locals are gonna start taking it upon themselves and they’ll start shooting people just coming across.
We’re getting close to a very messy, bloody situation here.
There’s a rancher going to trial here in Tucson for shooting a couple of illegals who rolled up on his house. It will be interesting to see how that goes.
Abbott just declared it an “invasion” and activated the national guard.
https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/immigration/texas-gov-greg-abbott-invasion-southern-border/
Look for the Biden admin to sue Texas to stop them from taking action. And for a federal judge to ignore the constitution and side with Biden.
Hard to believe it hasn’t already happened.
If their ROE is the same as before (set up wire fence, stand aside as Feds cut wire fence and drag it away) then this is just a PR move.
It’s a PR move. No way Abbot is going to issue shoot on sight orders, as one would if one was serious about repelling an invasion.
There’s a Rubicon, and Abbot won’t cross it. That Rubicon is pointing a gun in a fed’s face and telling him to fuck off. As long as the feds are facilitating the invasion, and they are, that’s what it will take to stop it.
It’s past time to arrest anyone cutting the wire.

So, this article quoting angry ex employees of Anheuser-Bush let go after the Mulvaney fiasco has a title leading you to believe these employees thought the whole debacle was to be avoided, except when you read the article, you find that the quotes from employees reflect not remorse that the Mulvaney idiocy was done, but anger that the company had not been even more antagonistic towards its ex clients and their recoiling at this idiocy.
I just assumed (like others commented here yesterday) that said ex employees are the marketing geniuses that thought that shit up in the first place. Of course they’re pissed the company didn’t double down…..
So you’re saying A-B was able to weed out some real idiot employees?
I’d think employees who are still employed might have a better handle on the wisdom of doing something that was, in retrospect, an incredibly bad idea, much less doubling down.
“We do advocate for the vouchers because we want to reiterate if police are really there to promote public safety, then they would issue vouchers instead of citations,” he said. “[The data] affects Black, Brown drivers but also low-income, and when you look at immigrant families, it caused over 2,000 family separation issues because a lot of times police use non-safety traffic stops to deport people that are undocumented.”
Still not seeing the downside here.

I’d assume lemon flavoring instead of actual lemon. But I’m cynical that way.

grape drink vs purple drink

Maybe. Probably watched too many Lackluster Channel / Audit the Audit videos — but way way way WAAAAY too many “Arrested for obstruction” / “Arrested for resisting arrest” occasions that really boil down to “Annoyed the cop” or “No probable cause, but dammit — you look like you fit the profile!” Raw arrest rates versus arrest rates for what charge, how often does that charge stick, etc. is what I’m getting at.
(Insert obligatory BLM rant that those race grifting commie bastards fucked the country hard in many ways, but one of them being fucking the opportunity for taking a solid look at actual police reforms…. Still pisses me off.)
Actual police reforms? What’s there in that for anyone?
This is the same town that has detectives inventing CIs so they can get warrants to kick down doors and start blasting at the inhabitants, right?
From personal experience I had coworker who was Dallas PD that literally bragged about inventing excuses to arrest people he didn’t like. He’d go up to protestors, if they didn’t back away, he’s arrest them for assault. If they stepped back into the street, he’s arrest them for obstructing traffic or some such thing. Then he’s release them without charges when the even that they were protesting was over.
How was he not killed? I thought Texans were better than that. What happened to the vigilante spirit?
TX Baptists consider it rude to murder a cop, even if he’s breaking up your protest at a Pride parade.
Tyrannicide isn’t murder.
There’s a lot of variation in Baptist theology.

Every new platform, especially the really complex ones, and yes this one is one of the most complex ones, will suffer from growing pains. People today act as if our more mature platforms never had any growing pains and were instantly successful, but that is not so. The F-16, F-15, F/A-18, the Osprey, the AH-64, the Burke class DDGs, the Permit, LA, and Virginia class subs, and even the damned horrible Berretta side arm all had massive problems, and time allowed them to mature. Well, everything but that piece of shit Berretta which had to be replaced. New tech has new tech hurdles, and they can unfortunately only be seen and fixed in real time.
However, the problem with the F-35’s availability is not one of just technological hurdles, but of parts procurement and the system being in transition from the old standard procurement one to a new one using on the spot printed parts. For some fucking insane reason the US military machine has a major problem with key components for this platform, and they originally actually set up a pipeline where too many of these critical parts were coming straight from our most likely current and future adversary: CCP’s China. The Pentagon thought this was a good deal for them. Now they are scrambling to decouple by going to on the spot part printing, but again relying on external vendors because the US has no capability that exists to meet these requirements.
If allowed to, the problems facing the F-35 all are solvable (and yes, will cost money), but the big unknown is if the corrupt bureaucracy that is mismanaging this shit will get out of the way to let that happened in our current age where ineptitude is baked into the system because of the idiocy permeating society (the anti-meritocratic pseudo marxist shit).
There was some Army 3-star a year or two ago touting how great the Bradley procurement was. Maybe the Bradley is a good vehicle NOW – that’s a different debate, but the fucking Bradley was the subject of Pentagon Wars (a book all about DoD acquisition failures). It was conceived early in the Viet Nam era with first units delivered in 1981 and production ended in the mid-90s. The Army has been trying to replace it since then and still can’t get a design nailed down let alone built.
Yeah… just look at the success the F-111 turned into the LAST time we tried a “one plane for everything (TFX program)”. Not like Bob McNamara’s name is synonymous with fucked up procurement now or anything.
Sometimes a shitty program is still a shitty program.
And if they don’t get the Ford class working (they’re only what… 3? 4? years past having her in full operation now, right?), I’m going to lump that design in. Right up there with the Littoral Combat Ships and all.
I’m not entirely sold on Osprey yet — but I give more slack on that because it was one hell of a design challenge, after all. F-35 doesn’t have that excuse.
I thought we’d abandoned the Osprey. Are we still using that deathtrap?
We stopped procuring them and are looking for a replacement. The damned thing is super complex, but it provides a capability no other platform has been able to do.
“And if they don’t get the Ford class working (they’re only what… 3? 4? years past having her in full operation now, right?), I’m going to lump that design in.”
Yeah, too much of what is wrong with the Ford class is the fact that the NAVY kept changing specs and reqs and the vendor suffers from the same lack of capability permeating every high tech industry in this country these days. This was a problem that was/is self inflicted. And fixing it all, while possible, also requires the bureaucracy to be buckled.
“Right up there with the Littoral Combat Ships and all.”
This is definitely the worst military program ever. The fucking idiot admiral that saw the Danish Navy’s hot swap capability and brought this idiocy back to America, to then have congress turn it into a pork project for the states involved, needs to be made an example of what stupid fucking looks like.
Magnetic catapult for the win.
Subs are exactly what I started thinking about regarding availability rates, you gotta do all the maintenance and shakedowns, etc…
I’m thinking most complex weapons are only actually operable about half the time, less if you are using it frequently.
The NAVY’s stats on availability are around 33-45% for carriers, submarines & destroyers (and the old cruisers are all being sent to the chopping block now). You make of that what you want. Most people don’t understand platform availability numbers.

https://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1705177762305114599
No mention that the low growth shit is directly tied to the adoption of all the socialists government bureaucracy that keeps getting demanded by the younger generations? Or that these younger people balk at the idea of working for 20, 30, or even 40 years to get to the standard of living of their parents? People have gone soft.
I’d blame the educational socialists and leaving teaching up to unionized government employees.
Our public school system, and most of the private school system as well it seems, are dominated by neo marxists that have taken it upon themselves to destroy prosperity by indoctrinating the young into being nihilists.

I have a tiny bit of sympathy for the widow, but the lawyer should be tarred and feathered. The real question is what the hell happened with the public sector responsible for the road, and bridge, that this wasn’t closed off?
I read that. I also tried to get some more photos. It does look it was possible to not see that there was no bridge.
Google makes money off of its mapping. It was notified multiple times over a period of years (from memory of the articles) about this bridge not existing. I don’t think it’s out of bounds to sue Google here.
OK, what proof do they have that he was using GoogleMaps? If it was in-car navigation system, it probably wasn’t Google. Either way, Google wasn’t responsible for the lack of barricading a missing bridge – that falls (rather literally) on some govt entity within NC.
That’s why you bring it to trial to determine what app he was using. Phone records, etc. Let’s just assume the plaintiff has proof that he was using Waze or Goggle Maps which are both Google properties. (OT – my in car Tesla is Google sourced,)
It’s a private road. Land owner most certainly has liability.
Wait – he was TRESPASSING?
Likely one of those land deals. Bankrupt developer is responsible for roads for a certain period of time.
BTW, I’ve seen phantom roads on Google maps – nice little squiggles where there is no road (as demonstrated by looking at the sat image). Anyone who blindly trusts that deserves to run off a bridge or get stranded at high tide or bottomed out on some desert/mountain jeep trail.
Some of those false roads and the like are an old tradition for catching people violating copyright restrictions on maps. Now… why you can copyright what should be general topographical and state owned information is another story.

Lots of furriners will not use banks to avoid paying taxes, thus they have large amounts of cash lying about. This makes them targets. I have seen lots of stories about that from all over.

We are all doing the same job. We teach the same number of classes. I don’t think my labor is worth $20,000 LESS than that of my econ colleagues. More money please.

Sorry, but if you studied economics, you’d understand that your classes are not as valuable, in fact, your 93K is too much, you should be making half that.
This sort of resentment from this sort of idiot is why we have evil shit like marxism. People with a massively overinflated sense of worth that actually provide far less value than they should, get pissed society doesn’t value them as much as they value themselves They then concoct idiotic shit like Marx, Hegel, and Marcuse did to give themselves worth under the new feudal lordship they want to sick upon those of us they see as lesser beings.
Naked envy. Yeppers.
Notice that she doesn’t demand econ be cut down to the others, but that they be raised. I know which I would do if I was in charge of salary setting for that university (get a cheaper/dumber econ prof).
“We are all doing the same job.”
Nope, you teach different subjects.
“We teach the same number of classes.”
Assuming this is true, is that the only job of professors? Aren’t they supposed to do, I dunno, research, mentorship, etc. as well?
“I don’t think my labor is worth $20,000 LESS than that of my econ colleagues.”
Everyone else does
“More money please.”
Request denied.
My Sunday column produces more useful research than a sociology prof does.
At least yours is accurate by accident sometimes, and usually not damaging to society.

2. My insurance man: “govt is full of idiots. Insurance companies are full of very, very smart people. In the end the companies get what they want.”
3. I think the F35 has been a boondoggle from the jump. I remember people complaining about that before the ink was dry on the designs.
4. Tell me again…how do private companies calculate consumer prices? What are the factors that go into that?
5. I have zero sympathy for Sanctuary cities/states etc. Fuck ’em. The shitbirds asked for it, they just didn’t expect to get it. I have zero sympathy anymore for the invaders. Get the fuck out, go back home and fix the messes you made. I dont want your collectivist cultures of shit here.

7. We have become far too litigious. In this case “… the plaintiffs had adequately argued that “a significant portion of the general consuming public could be misled by the names.”
I thought outlets were required to supply ingredients lists these days. And calorie counts. Or some such shit. Were they misleading also? If not, file this suit in the round file.
Last: “Report finds Houston police pull over Black drivers at much higher rates” DNRFA. Does report say why? Does report include race of officers who do the pulling over? Politics of officers doing the pulling over? Do they include rates for cops pulling over other races? Illegals vs. Legal residents?
I am guessing the writer goes straight for the ‘the cops are wearing white hoods! assumption.
Swiss and I may disagree with intelligence of insurers. That said when compared to government…
The difference is that one is somewhat subject to punishment for stupidity, and the other is rewarded for it.
^This^
Insurance companies have some of the biggest pools of private capital in the world, and have for decades. That doesn’t happen without a sufficient supply of smart people.
The attraction is the risk is generally uncorrelated to the risk of markets.
That doesn’t change the risk itself or the standard deviation of the return.
“A New York City councilwoman has predicted that the surge of asylum seekers flooding into Texas this week will reach NYC in just days, as she warned the migrants won’t be deported even if they commit crimes.”
“Paladino also took aim at the Biden administration in her message, writing: ‘This is a failure purely of the Biden Administration. They did this. They wanted this. It’s deliberate. And they don’t care what it’s doing to our city, our neighborhoods, or our quality of life.'”
Are people getting some kind of pilled (red or black?) over this issue?
Palididon is one of the last remaining Team Red in NYC. That said all of NYC Team Blue was all in on the posturing until it affected NYC directly.
The amount of illegals in Manhattan alone is staggering. Best part was this Tuesday watching one mother with walking out of the hotel she and her family were staying out, child #1 playing with her iPhone 14 Pro, getting on the NYC provided school bus.

President Biden complimented the merits of the “Congressional Black Caucus” during a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Thursday, his third public speaking gaffe in just two days.
Biden, 80, made the mishap during a speech at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s 46th Annual Gala in Washington, D.C., as he celebrated gala award recipient Sister Norma Pimental, executive director of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley.
He said: “I know Sister Norma lives the lessons nuns taught me growing up. Lessons based on the Gospel of Matthew: feed the hungry, care for the sick, welcome strangers. They echo what my dad taught me, and I mean this sincerely, my dad used to say, ‘Everyone, everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect.’ The Congressional Black Caucus embodies all those values.”
The incident took place the day after he forgot to shake the hand of Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, known as “Lula,” before leaving a joint press conference and, later that night, repeated the same story at a fundraiser just minutes apart.
I know Sister Norma lives the lessons nuns taught me growing up.

Sen. Bob Menendez Indicted on Federal Bribery Charges
It’s not about guilt. It’s about some more relevant/higher up team blue person profiting from taking you down. Blue on blue conflict & casualties.
He’s already been acquitted on bribery charges once. Amazingly enough, NPR declined to cover that trial but they ran TONS of stories about him being acquitted.
He admitted to taking the bribe. He admitted to doing the favor. But he claimed that he didn’t do the favor because he took the bribe, but rather that the briber was such a good friend of his he’d have done the favor for free.
The jury bought it.
Was he acquitted or was it a hung jury and they didn’t bother to retrial?
Mistrial.
By the time people wake up to address my aspie mating strategy I was having to run off to school/work.

“Bob Boberson on September 22, 2023 at 5:27 am

That is already way too much to know.
Also, you can’t cite China and India as examples where reasoned mating choices are not successful… if anything that backs me up.
People still don’t marry for love in India (more often now, but not always, maybe not even a majority of the time). China I am less educated on.

I would think that doctors wouldn’t need training on how to kill people other than “just do the opposite of what we taught you in medical school.”
It’s actually pretty hard to kill someone that isn’t dying already.
You could argue that a chunk of what we are taught in medical school does actually kill people, but it’s a lot slower than what these people want to do. A lot of that is controversial with murky evidence though.

Sadly, yes. I mean when you can’t trust Hollywood to give you accurate medical information, we’ve surely reached the end times.

Zelensky got an abrupt preview of how Donald Trump’s possible return to power after the 2024 election and how the ex-president’s current sway over the ungovernable Republican-led House of Representatives could rupture the multi-billion dollar lifeline on which Ukraine’s survival depends. And far from clearing a new $24 billion administration request to sustain Ukraine’s war effort, the chaotic House failed again Thursday to even fund the defense of the United States, as a new attempt to pass a military appropriations bill foundered against hard-right opposition.
For their part, Americans glimpsed the sapping impact of a brutal war on a leader who rallied stunning resistance to a Russian invasion but also shoulders the burden of months of death and sacrifice forced upon his people. At times, the comic actor turned wartime hero looked exhausted and unsmiling. In a CNN interview, he confessed the personal strain of his furtive life as Russia’s top target.
And in public appearances, Zelensky’s patience sometimes frayed – especially when berating the United Nations for failing to protect its members from aggression. In a US capital that has undergone an ideological shift since he was last here just before Christmas 2022, it now takes more than quoting President Franklin Roosevelt and drawing allusions to 9/11, to woo lawmakers.
There’s also a question of whether Zelensky’s relentless efforts to shame the world into action might be reaching the point of diminishing returns. The pugnacious president might think so too judging by his multiple and poignant expressions of gratitude for previous help as polls show more Americans are skeptical of aid to Ukraine. He may need to develop new political skills to adapt to a vicious phase in American politics when Ukraine is being dragged into an impeachment saga for the second time and is a central general election issue.
Maybe he’s just not very bright.
Winner!

Biden unveiled yet another US aid package for Ukraine worth $325 million that was expected to include more cluster munitions and air defense equipment, according to two US officials, marking the second time the US has provided the controversial weapon to Kyiv.
But there was also disappointment for Ukraine as national security adviser Jake Sullivan said that the US will not be providing long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) – at least for now. The decision is the latest sign of the limitations of help even from Biden, who has led the Western alliance more effectively than any other US president since the end of the Cold War.
Wheeeeee!
This is the best economy ever, and with Biden’s amazing leadership Ukraine is just days away from destroying the entire country of Russia. Why can’t you idiots in flyover country see that?
I assume these include facilitating an invasion of the states.
Up to 800 additional US military members are being sent to the Mexico border — but won’t play any role in stemming the latest surge of illegal migration into America, the Biden administration has announced.
The active-duty personnel will focus on “logistics and other functions at the border to allow more Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents and officers to return to their core mission and responsibilities,” the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday night.
In practice, that means the troops will help with migrant processing and paperwork that would otherwise bog down CBP agents who are needed in the field — and won’t engage directly with the new arrivals.

Didn’t realize AWS had issues at the same time.
Says Ransomware attack in the listing.
Looks like they got infected, locked out, and need to rip out and replace with a bunch of clean, patched servers to replace a whole infrastructure. Even if they paid the ransom (which I don’t agree with), the vulnerabilities need to be addressed. And you’ll never be assured that you’re clean.
What happens there stays there.
MGM was hit with malware and seems their public facing systems interact with their gambling systems?
Most of that stuff comes from inside the house as a result of someone falling for phishing/social engineering/etc. via email. User ends up giving an attacker login credentials or directly downloading malware. Hilarity and $$$$$ ensue.

The US government’s priority is not the United States.
President Biden announced a new $325 million aid package for Ukraine during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit Thursday.
Why it matters: Zelensky’s visit comes at a crucial moment for Ukraine, as it seeks to shore up support and secure additional funding for its counteroffensive against Russia.
What they’re saying: “Today I approved the next tranche of U.S. security assistance to Ukraine including more artillery, more ammunition, more anti-tank weapons and next week, the first U.S. Abrams tanks will be delivered to Ukraine,” Biden said.

McCarthy leads a conference that includes many pro-Trump members who are mirroring the ex-president’s hostility to sending more aid to Ukraine. Trump has vowed to end the war within 24 hours if he is the Republican nominee and wins the 2024 presidential election – a pledge likely to prove favorable to Putin, whom he has often tried to impress.
——-
The divides underscore the Republican Party’s struggle for its own soul, between traditional conservatives and foreign policy hawks who back global democracy and the isolationist “America First” approach that saw Trump cozy up to dictators like Putin while lambasting the Western alliance that Biden has reinvigorated to meet a new challenge from Moscow.

Confessions of an English teacher abroad
I didn’t expect to stay in Poland
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/confessions-of-an-english-teacher-abroad/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1695376390
The English teacher abroad is a generally peripatetic animal. He moves somewhere for a year or two and then gets bored, runs out of money or fathers an illegitimate child before moving along. Meet him and he has a thousand stories about Mexican border guards, Thai prostitutes and Russian oligarchs. Enjoy the conversation. He won’t be there for long.
Not me, though. This weekend marks ten years since I moved to Tarnowskie Góry in Poland.Tarnowskie Góry is an hour from Katowice, in Upper Silesia. It’s a charming town of about 60,000 people, built round a historic silver mine and ringed by forests. The centre, with its time-worn churches and its bustling coffee bars, is surrounded by enormous housing estates. One of them was called Manhattan, because of its tower blocks, and one was inexplicably nicknamed Ohio. The latter name stuck, perhaps because it is so odd.
…
I never meant to come here. I wanted to go to Japan. Somehow, though, the good Japanese schools didn’t want a random English kid with no experience. So, a generous invitation to teach English in a town I’d never heard of, in a country I knew almost nothing about, was my only option.

Nation of laws
The Biden administration said Thursday it was giving temporary legal status to Afghan migrants who have already been living in the country for a little over a year.
The Department of Homeland Security said in the announcement that the decision to give Temporary Protected Status to Afghans who arrived after March 15, 2022, and before Sept. 20, 2023, would affect roughly 14,600 Afghans.
This status doesn’t give affected Afghans a long-term right to stay in the country or a path to citizenship. It’s good until 2025, when it would have to be renewed again. But it does protect them from deportation and give them the ability to work in the country.
A relatively small number of people are affected. On Wednesday the administration announced it was giving Temporary Protected Status to nearly 500,000 Venezuelans in the country.
Hail Biden.
“This status doesn’t give affected Afghans a long-term right to stay in the country or a path to citizenship.”
