That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
“Democrats throwing everything and the kitchen sink”
is the kitchen sink assassination? Cause you know they will do that if they can’t get away with the crimes they are doing right now.
Democrats hate guns. It will just be a fake suicide.
It’s to protect “mah democracy”, they will tell us after the fact, while rubes forget we are a republic and these people are just a criminal enterprise hiding behind the veneer of legitimacy as a government…
I think. they have already cast off that veneer, haven’t they? They dont give a flying fuck what the majority. of voters think.
All they have now is the threat of violence. I think ‘gradually, then suddenly’ will apply when people no longer have too much to lose.
They are playing a very dangerous game. Trump’s support is higher than ever. What if they do prosecute him, get him tossed off of the ballot and he still gets the nomination and eventually wins the office by write in? What will they do then? Burn it all down?
“What will they do then? Burn it all down?”
Isn’t that what a spoiled brat would do unless you give it what it wants? I expect that they will try, and unfortunately likely succeed, at assassinating him before they turn the force of government on his supporters. Since when have criminals running banana republics willfully turned over power when they know the people will then find out how corrupt and evil they have been and would face consequences for that, huh?
That’s a lot of ifs, and Trump ain’t winning anything.
I posted a long thought out response that the server ate.
TLDR version: Roberts is probably hating life right now. There’s no way he can play this without pissing off a large contingent.
Someone definitely installed a filter that uses AI to recognize life-altering prose and delete the posts. All of my best stuff gets eaten that way.
That’s why I always select all->copy before I hit the button to post my
bullshitexcellent, well thought out posts.The consequences of not ending this insanity (lawfare becoming the rule of the land) versus the left being batshit crazy enough to be willing to go through with their threat to pack the court. Either way, the whole system will be burned to the ground. The Cathedral will not go gently.
They should argue that Trump is ineligible to run again on 22nd Amendment basis, since he really won in 2020. It’s literally a Catch-22.
They went too far long ago and they have this compulsive need to keep going forward. But the deep state is involved and those three-letter organizations have tons of ways to off a person and make it look like an accident or natural causes. If it starts to look like all this lawfare might not work, I’d expect a fatal heart attack or a car or plane crash.
“Biden’s ‘War Room’ Takes Shape As Impeachment Probe Looms”
If only these crooks had the last name Trump. Then the media and the machine would have legit criminal cases to lock them up bye….
I don’t forgive the other wing of the Uniparty for this either… they knew what would happen when they passed the Green-New-Deal-With-Lipstick that was the “Inflation Reduction Act”, they made damned sure the spending resolutions didn’t contain meaningful cuts — and they aren’t going to listen to the “right wing radicals” who want to cut this time around either.
60 or 180 mph… that cliff is getting closer. (Just the sheer amount of spending that we’re $2 trillion over for one year is mind boggling… and so little of it the Fed should actually be doing if we paid attention to that slaveowner written document and all…)
Morning anyway, Banjos… rest of ya…
Buying votes once you have wrecked the economy in the pursuit of your agendas, always hiding behind the ruse of “social justice” or “saving Gaia from climate change”, costs money man. But then you get to control the serfs that need your handouts and improve your chances to fortify an election so you can pretend to have legitimacy on power…
It’s only bits in computers who cares.
From the idiot judge (I know… peanut gallery.. “Which one?”) not understanding the 1st Amendment article:
Boy — if anything sums up the left’s embrace of Feelings over Facts, that’s it right there. “Shut up with your logic and reality! This is about love (and delusion)!”
it is not a coincidence that one of the most paramount premise of the marxist cult is that man will be changed from a failed greedy and selfish beast into a working drone that would die for the collective in their utopia. So allowing people to choose to change into whatever, is a step forward…
Wait until people start turning into mental cases that wreck civilization….
Oh, wait..
It used to be called the lunatic fringe. I never thought lunacy would go mainstream in this country yet here we are.
I refer to it as urban politics and mindsets.
I’m sure the APA has updated guidelines to advise that delusions should be supported not challenged.
Speaking of lunacy, some nut on TV is plugging for this: artichokepizza.com
What is it with loons that insist on eating weeds? You dont eat artichokes, you put Roundup on them.
What is this world coming to….
One of my favorite lines of all time, from “Little Rascals”
Stymie is peeling an artichoke. He keeps peeling back leaves until he reaches the center…
“Well, it might choke Artie, but it sure as heck wouldn’t choke Stymie!”
Still funny nearly a hundred years later.
“not everything needs to make sense. This is about love.”
Biology has no meaning. Elephants and donkeys living together.
I read that as “My hovercraft is full of eels”.
Yeah, that “love” crap really sets my teeth on edge.
Especially when it’s coming out of some of the most hateful people around.
And schools aren’t competent to teach the subject.
It’s almost like they shouldn’t even try.
Because loving someone means helping them deny reality and possibly destroy themselves.
When my kid was 5 and crazy about the whole Jurassic Park series, he wanted desperately to be a velociraptor. I wonder if I should have gotten him surgery to help him reach that dream….
And when the zoo declined to feature him in their exhibits he could have sued for a hate crime.
I always read your name as ‘Ro-boner, eff herder’ now.
Robot boners aside, great insight.
Roboners are the future. With ChatGPT add-ons.
That raises the thought — statistically, when you get that many people together — isn’t there a good chance of at least one person dying (even in perfect conditions)? I would expect so… but since I assume none of y’all are actuaries because you haven’t tried to sell the lot of us term life, that’ll probably just be an assumption.
My actuary friends would agree with you, but it would take them 30 minutes to explain why.
Doesn’t take 30 minutes. Number of attendees times days at festival divided by 365 gives over 1,000 years of life spent there. Even the youngest, healthiest group of people will average more than one death per a thousand life years.
Only one death is probably on the low side of the expected mortality.
Only the weak die so who cares
The weak?
We’re all weak cattle to the vampyr…
Yes
I worked in an amusement park when I was younger. Deaths were expected and there were protocols for handling/moving bodies without alerting other parkgoers.
Was it rolling the bodies up in Persian carpets? Were the instructors on the protocol Italian?
“Weekend at Bernie’s” protocol?
A hat and glasses is easier to carry than a Persian carpet, you’re probably right.
Putrid had a great article yesterday.
Just wanted to add that he may have seen his concrete crack from adding too much water.
So I know he said it in his article, but *don’t add extra water* especially the quantity YouTubers were saying (double the recommended) this will kill your concrete’s strength and it causes the concrete to segregate (aggregate gets separated from the mix and sits at the bottom) additionally you will encourage crack formation, bad finish, etc.
I’ve also seen people ‘dry pour ‘ concrete. This is the same level of bad, just in the other direction. Concrete is like baking a cake, just follow the recipe and it will turn out good. Start improvising and you’ll probably end up with a flop.
Also, I would recommend no reinforcing if you go really thin, or rather, I would suggest not going thinner than Putrid did. Also, because of your mesh plus the thinness of the pour, the sand -only mix was probably the way to go. I would vibrate as you place rather than after you screed, kind of defeats the purpose. Also, I wouldn’t do not then 1 lift for anything this thin. Usually you do multiple lifts if the hydraulic pressure would be too much for your forms (say over 3 feet thick), or the heat of hydration would cause cracking problems (mass concrete, like thousands of yards). You create a cold joint which will be a permanent weak point in your concrete.
If you want to increase slump/flowability, look for ‘super plasticizer’ you should be able to find some good stuff out there without too much cost.
Thanks for the comments, helpful info. I will never make the mistake of too much water again! The bad part, is I *knew* it was a bad idea before I started…
I was hoping the ‘Counter-flo’ from Fritz-Pak would do that; it’s marketed as “mixture of water reducers and minerals that create more flowing concrete without adding water.” In my experience, I didn’t see any affect at all. I’ll look at some super plasticizers and do a small test before I pout my island next.
There’s multiple ways to skin that cat.
Plasticizers work. Vibration works. Lots of troweling with a lower slump mix works. Personal preference for workflow comes into play.
If you really want to get into it, this guy has been training professional installers for over a decade now. He sells product as well.
https://concretecountertopinstitute.com/
I sell into the slabwork and structural concrete businesses. Countertops are a specialty market I don’t chase.
No problem, I’m enjoying the series. Keep it up.
The dry pour seems to be some sort of youtube fad. I have been seeing a bunch of those of late. There are some limited applications where this is the way to go, but please…
* creating an erosion barrier by placing bags of pre-mixed cement and sand along an embankment is one such application that we see all over the place ’round these parts.
“Shrinking Bidenomics: Alarm grows as jobs, GDP data revised downward”
Wait, what am I not getting? Isn’t Bidenomics simply constant and persistent lying about numbers, always reporting them in fabulist ways that allow them to claim their insane policies are actually producing positive instead of the expected negative results, and then having to revise the rosy claims downwards showing abject failure and misery when we get these revisions?
Announce glowing fictional numbers, wait a while, yell ‘Squirrel!’, then quietly release revised down numbers. Wasn’t that a favorite tactic of O’Bumbles?
🙄
I would ask “why?” But the answer is always going to be “because.”
Yeah, they are clearly still trying to hide something. No real reason not to post the whole thing.
Team D keeps saying it “compromises security methods” to show the video. What, we locked some doors?
I give this another three months, then somebody will post the whole thing on a video dump site.
I think what they are really protecting is the extent of government agent involvement. If you can crowdsource the detective work, you could probably scour all of that footage and find a whole bunch of Ray Epps in the crowd.
And maybe some Pelosi or Shumer incriminating footage. There are specific allegations about specific meeting times and denials of actions and resources. Some corroboration would certainly enhance the story.
I was thinking the same thing.
“compromises security methods” means it exposes how they utilize lies of omission to secure your support and acquiescence.
A simple security camera with audio capturing Pelosi and Schumer discussing how long they should deny the national guard to the capital police chief would do the trick.
A thorough examination might also reveal how the powers that be use the system to spy on their rivals, so that might play into it too.
That anyone bought the ‘insurrection worse than the holocaust’ bullshit is stunning to me.
It was clearly the most pathetic false flag ever, that is what it was.
Which means that it is the bow on top of the coup, designed to keep anyone from looking further.
Narrative control is everything.
Sure, knock yourselves out. It’s high time we get this over with.
“Biden-Appointed Judge Rules Religious Parents Can’t Opt Kids Out Of Pro-LGBT School Lessons”
You will not have any legal means to resist the indoctrination by the cultists of your children. The only true and real solution is to end public school system as it exists today.
Next step, a wave of Muslim private schools. Ad a refusal to pay taxes towards immorality.

NYC tourism is a ball, y’all…
You can’t make this shit up.
Hm. I wonder why it would be getting worse with people supposedly fleeing the city and tourism way down.
It must be some combination of the people who are left (residents and businessowners) being filthier than ever, and the garbagemen not doing their jobs. 🤷🏻♂️
Both seem plausible to me.
Biden’s fictional tales fact-checked by WaPo, NY Times but outlets stop short of declaring them ‘lies’
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but.
The NPR hosts unashamedly say that Tump’s lies are so much worse than Biden’s that it’s not right to say Biden is a liar.
“I know nothing about my son’s business dealings.”
*gets rich off China and Ukraine*
factually incorrect but morally right
“Fake but accurate” is not a new thing.
Dan, is that you? What is the frequency, anyway?
“what did Obama know and when did he know it?”
Well, he certainly knew that he ordered the FBI to frame Flynn… and he knew it at the moment he … well… told them to frame Flynn.
Same goes for ordering the spying. And ordering the “classified” information to be leaked after the inauguration.
Questions about Net Neutrality would be in order too. Dude fought on the side of Netflix against the backbone providers and the cable and telephone companies and it sure looks like they handed him $60 million for his troubles as soon as he left office.
We sure do have an incurious press. They never even asked the guy about this stuff.
Pretty sure I remember him mailing The Hildabeast’s aliases / personal email server as well. I’d be extremely surprised if he didn’t know of VPPP’s nom de plumes as well — so I suspect he knew the whole time. (Not to mention when your Veep is sent to handle providing aid to a foreign nation, fucks with the process then brags that he did it to get a government official in that country fired… I would hope and assume someone in State would report it up the chain to the President… kind of important he know when his emissaries do shit like that).
Of course — I also assume that Biden is just sloppier than most in DC and all these shell companies and farming of influence is commonplace. Most probably do it with “Foundations” and “Speaking Fees”, granted.
With $8 trillion in pork and nobody even bothering to read past the title, I’d say that is a safe bet.
Taps side of nose.
The birds have suddenly reappeared. The yard is full of a variety, robins, flickers, goldfinches, juncos and more all on their way out of town. Eat and fly, eat and fly. This Climate Change is real, like every fall.
I can’t remember seeing so many but it’s probably my memory that’s the problem. Welcome them as they pass through on their way south.
Unlike some relatives, they don’t stay too long.
The “death of the songbirds” is certainly real.
When I was a kid in the 70’s there were rivers of migrating birds that reached from horizon to horizon, every spring and fall. There are definitely fewer birds, but I suspect that the destruction of their wintering grounds in the Amazon is the culprit.
I think it is the hatching grounds in North NA that are shrinking. I remember when black birds would blot out the sun.
Texas has always given tax breaks to people who put a little livestock on their property, so country folk don’t get eaten alive in taxes. Interesting thing I didn’t know. Texas now gives a tax break if you make your property suitable for songbirds. Much better than keeping poopy goats around.
Daily ray of sunshine of the “when you’re sliding into home” variety…
That’s impressive. At least in my visualization.

Britain is also seeing the writing on the wall.
It’s almost over, folks. The green fraud is showing cracks.
You really believe that the people that have been profiting from peddling this racket to idiots that would then willingly let them steal their wealth are just gonna give up on that racket without a fight? A fool is born every day in their minds (and they have taken over the education system to make sure that keeps happening) ad they will not just give up on this lucrative racket without a fight…

That’s one way of stating that you’re a murderous psychopath.
I refuse to believe that isn’t satire.
many people will think it is satire as they are getting dragged to the gulag
Defining the “proletariat” as public employees, tech workers, and legitimate freaks, but not truckers, coal miners, and factory workers is one of the more hilarious developments of the 21st Century. It was inevitable, since they never could win over actual workers.
Just because I make 6 figures doing basically nothing doesn’t mean I’m not oppressed.
“Biden-Appointed Judge Rules Religious Parents Can’t Opt Kids Out Of Pro-LGBT School Lessons”
The same judges that for two years couldn’t find the first clause of the 1st Amendment also find a constitutional right to 7 years getting their dicks chopped off. The law is not legitimate and shouldn’t be treated as such
‘The collection calls for pre-K students ages 3-5 to read Pride Puppy!, the story of two women who take their children to a “Pride Day” parade. A word list using the letters of the alphabet to show what a child might see includes the words “leather,” “underwear,” and “[drag] queen.” ‘
Jesus, that’s perverse. (Past) Time to get out of Dodge.
Top Democrats are pushing for using the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential campaign, with Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to take the ultimate decision.
No need to convict him of anything. Let him prove his innocence.
I understand some swing states are pushing this crap in order to remove Trump from the ballot too.

Question for Bible readers: What do you think the Apostle Paul had in mind when he told the Thessalonians to “make it your ambition to lead a quiet life” and “mind your own business” (1 Thess. 4:11)? What’s the present-day application? (I’ve got no culture-war “gotcha” in mind.)
https://twitter.com/profsamperry/status/1699019493719093251
I think he meant that those who won’t leave you or your kids alone should be fed to the lions.
^^^THIS^^^
“You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.”
I have that passage bookmarked in my Bible. Reading the who thing is somewhat self-explanatory. Being self-sufficient makes you less vulnerable to coercion from an evil government.
I think what he meant was that you should lead a quiet life and mind your own business.
Related, I went to a one-day retreat once, and a nun told a story regarding the passage, “Sell what you have and give to the poor.” She was in a Bible study group, and they were discussing what that meant. One person said it meant, “Save enough to support your family, then give to the poor.” Another person said “Save for your retirement, take care of your family, and then give to the poor.” When they asked her, she said, “I think what it means is that you should sell what you have and give to the poor.”
Sometimes Bible passages mean just what they say, and sometimes they will challenge you. Welcome to the party.
Deficit Set to double thanks largely to large amounts of government spending greenlit by the Biden administration
This doubling has happened every 8 years since Bush. I’m sure it is sustainable.
Back in the 80s they told me the social security system would collapse in 2024 due to a lack of workers and a surplus of retirees.
IIR they were worried about having as much as a $400 billion per year deficit, which would bankrupt the country. Apparently they lacked imagination.

@MotherJones
If you’ve eaten a burger and fries recently, there’s a chance that the potatoes were picked by middle schoolers in Idaho.
The United States is experiencing a sharp rise in child labor violations, especially in the nation’s food sector.
https://twitter.com/MotherJones/status/1698772945118634214
I went to the coffee shop this Sunday and the barista was a 16 year old high-school girl working weekends and I was surprised to see this sort of child labor in Bucharest, though it is prevalent in rural Romania. There ought to be a law.
When children had to work to support the family, they learned to be adults by their late teens. One had to become responsible and mature adults that were productive to society, or risk hunger. In our spoiled world way too many children now remain immature into their late 30s. And you should not be surprised that the people that have fainting spells about kids actually working and learning the value of hard work are all for turning these immature and idiot kids into community organizers and protesters, though….
Without bureaucratic protection, children would work 16 hour days instead of going to school.
Considering what is done in schools to them, maybe the 16 hour work day is a good thing..
income + experience > indoctrination + grooming
I suddenly want a burger and fries.
That’s honing to be lunch today. Actually that was already the plan, this is just a bonus.
I can think of worse laws than requiring 16 year olds to get a job.
Democrats have pushed for a national service requirement.
Potatoes are “picked” by machinery, not humans of any age. Whoever wrote that never saw a potato field.
“What do you mean potatos grow underground?”
I was today old when I learned…
The internet is replete with videos of potato harvesters in action. Not sure what the kids would be doing with that kind of automation available.
When i was a kid in north carolina, everyone picked up jobs “bringing in tobacco”. Paid decent compared to the other odd jobs you could pick up as a 7th grader. Hard work, but we had fun with it.
Do their tears provide salt for the fries? I’d pay extra for that.
It isn’t about the potato, it is about the potential for young men/women learning the value of hard work and not just sitting around that they fear. It was refreshing when I was in the Carolinas and in Kentucky to see 15/16 year olds working. Unlike here in Nevada, which a large portion of the job market boxes out 15/16 year olds except fast food and some retail
Iowa recently passed a law allowing minors to take job that had previously be prohibited such as serving alcohol and using dangerous equipment.
FedGov sent a letter in the last week or so saying that minor are prohibited under federal law from doing those jobs.
Yeah, stupid. If they are carrying a tray of drinks from bar to table, what risk is that? They are ‘around alcohol’ is a cop out. A 16 year old can operate a meat slicer, especially today’s meat slicers. They can swing a hammer, operate a bobcat, etc. Its just we as a society don’t allow it. So you have a bunch of disfranchised teens that cannot learn any skills unless they are lucky enough to have a family business in the household.

U.S. first lady Jill Biden has tested positive for COVID-19 just days before President Joe Biden, who tested negative for the virus, is due to travel to a Group of 20 summit in India, the White House said on Monday.
Biden’s 72-year-old wife, whose symptoms were described as mild, last had COVID in August of last year. The president, now 80, last tested positive in July 2022.
“This evening, the First Lady tested positive for COVID-19,” her communications director, Elizabeth Alexander, said in a statement. “She will remain at their home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.”

“There is no justification for impeaching Biden. All of the Republican liez concern things that happened long before Biden was president. Only things he did while in office are impeachable and the fascists have NO EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING!”
Sounds like they just repurposed some Clinton talking points.

I’ve been waiting for that one.
Ask these asshats saying there is no evidence what their opinions would be if this criminal behavior was done by a Trump instead of a Biden, and you will quickly see they are all frauds.
They will speak from both sides of their mouths, we know this. Admit he sold government influence and peddled the office of the President but look, at this point, what difference does it make?

Questions asked of two recent witnesses indicate Smith is focusing on how money raised off baseless claims of voter fraud was used to fund attempts to breach voting equipment in several states won by Joe Biden, according to multiple sources familiar with the ongoing investigation.
In both interviews, prosecutors have focused their questions on the role of former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell.
According to invoices obtained by CNN, Powell’s non-profit, Defending the Republic, hired forensics firms that ultimately accessed voting equipment in four swing states won by Biden: Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Arizona.
Powell faces criminal charges in Georgia after she was indicted last month by Atlanta-area district attorney Fani Willis, who alleges that Powell helped coordinate and fund a multi-state plot to illegally access voting systems after the 2020 election.
How are those vote counts and associated information not public property? A man might think they’re trying to hide something.
Are we still pretending this guy is a legitimate choice for “special counsel”?
‘how money raised off baseless claims of voter fraud was used to fund attempts to breach voting equipment in several states won by Joe Biden,’
So they used the money to do what they said they would? Find evidence of fraud.
Sounds like they have a solid case against Trump.

Between the US, the Brits, and the Israeli intelligence services and their contractors, the amount of disinformation and straight up lying in media is overwhelming. They utilize organizations like the ADL as a front for laundering their psyops.
It’s amusing and heartening when one of them gets called out for it and runs away.
New details about Smith’s ongoing investigation indicate federal prosecutors are scrutinizing a series of voting breaches following the 2020 election that state investigators have been probing for more than a year.
Exactly how this recent line of inquiry fits into Smith’s ongoing criminal investigation remains unclear. Smith’s grand jury in Washington, DC, is set to expire on Sept. 15 but it can be extended beyond then.
Offhand, I’d say it is a direct and open effort to criminalize any attempt to verify the results of an election.
Offhand, I’d say you are right. Onhand, too.

“It’s on Wikipedia”
Suthenboy. “You dont eat artichokes, you put Roundup on them.
What is this world coming to”
And I used to think highly of you.
While we’re on the subject – what’s our view on Roundup? Threat or menace? Or just more FUD?
I use it regularly in the orchard and around the house.
I don’t think it’s good for you…
It’s looking worse all the time.
I’ll see what I can dig up.
I used to be in the RoundUp is fine camp.
Now I’m having to question what I assumed, since they’ve lied about everything else. It’s getting exhausting.
I’m going to go with “It’s the dose that makes the poison.”
I’ve been leaning that way
The people on both sides of the Roundup issue lie constantly. I’m exhausted.
I am pretty convinced that both my uncle and mother-in-law got cancer from high exposure to RoundUp (or equivalent). Its fine in small amounts, I use it.
as you said, its the dose.
My SIL used to work for the local park service, and part of her job was to get a tank of Roundup and spray things all day. Then years later she got the cancer it’s supposed to cause. I think she’s part of the big lawsuit. So not 100% proof, but I’m convinced a lot of exposure is bad for you.
I’m convinced a lot of exposure is bad for you.
I’m sure this is true for many, many toxic chemicals.
I know a lot of things have a dose-response that is complicated, but the risk-reward for this is not there for me to fuck around and find out.
Sorry about your sister in law, hope she’s doing better.
She is. She fought off two types of cancer and for now, she’s healthy as a bull and twice as ornery.
That’s good. 😆
Witch hunt.
Fuck you, Liberty.
That’s fucked up, right there.
Not a bit of difference between them and the NKVD or Stasi at this point.

New normal
THOUSANDS OF AIRBNBS and short-term rentals are about to be wiped off the map in New York City.
Local Law 18, which came into force Tuesday, is so strict it doesn’t just limit how Airbnb operates in the city—it almost bans it entirely for many guests and hosts. From now on, all short-term rental hosts in New York must register with the city, and only those who live in the place they’re renting—and are present when someone is staying—can qualify. And people can only have two guests.
Gone are the days of sleek downtown apartments outfitted for bachelorette parties, cozy two- and three-bedroom apartments near museums for families, and even the option for people to rent out their apartment on weekends when they’re away. While Airbnb, Vrbo, and others can continue to operate in New York, the new rules are so tight that Airbnb sees it as a “de facto ban” on its business.
Nobody’s coming after your side hustle.
Gosh, I wonder who stands to gain from this. It is a mystery.
I swear the local news said “no locked doors allowed” this morning too. WTF is that about?
“Cuba has uncovered a Russian human trafficking ring that is coercing its citizens into fighting for Moscow in the Ukraine war, its foreign ministry has announced.
Havana said that Cubans living in Russia and ‘even some in Cuba’ had been ‘incorporated into the military forces taking part in the war in Ukraine’.
Cuba said ‘it does not form part of the conflict in Ukraine’ and said it would ‘act decisively against those who … engage in human trafficking with the aim of recruiting Cuban citizens to bear arms in any country.’
The furious statement issued Monday marks a rare moment of discord between the old Cold War allies – just months after their foreign ministers were pictured grinning together at a summit in Havana.
Moscow has not yet commented on the allegations.”

Back in the 90s, when I was travelling to Moscow, we went out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant. It was terrible. The bus boy was clearly Hispanic. We guessed that he was probably Cuban and not Mexican.

Out of nowhere
Elon Musk on Monday posted that he was against antisemitism and blamed the Anti-Defamation League for lost advertising revenue since his acquisition of X, formerly known as Twitter.
The tech mogul posted his stance on free speech and antisemitism seemingly out of the blue on his verified account Monday afternoon. When asked by a user who was questioning his stance, Musk alleged that the ADL has been “trying to kill this platform by falsely accusing it & me of being anti-Semitic.”
“If this continues, we will have no choice but to file a defamation suit against, ironically, the ‘Anti-Defamation’ League,” Musk wrote. “If they lose the defamation suit, we will insist that they drop the the ‘anti’ part of their name, since obviously …”
He later wrote in another post that X has “no choice but to file a defamation lawsuit” against the group to clear his company’s name.
An email to attorneys representing Musk and X asking whether a complaint has been drafted was not immediately returned.
Musk also noted that X’s advertising revenue remains down by 60% in the U.S. and alleged that advertisers have told the social media platform that pressure from the ADL is part of the reason.
The ADL said Monday that as a matter of policy it does not comment on legal threats. A spokesperson referred NBC News to a general statement the organization made in response to a recent #BanTheADL campaign on the platform, which Musk has engaged with.
Musk suggested in a post on Saturday that maybe he should “run a poll” on the matter.
“Such insidious efforts don’t daunt us,” the statement said. “Instead, they drive us to be unflinching in our commitment to fight hate in all its forms and ensure the safety of Jewish communities and other marginalized groups.”
Po faced innocence and moral superiority are their greatest weapons.

It says “satire,” but I’m not sure.
X filed a lawsuit last month against the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), a nonprofit organization that monitors hate speech and disinformation. He accused the center of orchestrating a “scare campaign to drive away advertisers from the X platform,” according to the suit filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
The lawsuit alleges that CCDH published reports accusing the platform of failing to take action against hate speech and that the CCDH committed “a series of unlawful acts designed to improperly gain access” to the platform’s data.
Imran Ahmed, the center’s founder and chief executive, accused Musk of bullying in a statement at the time, describing the suit as “straight out of the authoritarian playbook.”
“The Center for Countering Digital Hate’s research shows that hate and disinformation is spreading like wildfire on the platform under Musk’s ownership and this lawsuit is a direct attempt to silence those efforts,” Ahmed said.
The ADL also posted a report in March accusing the platform of failing to take action against hate speech. The group’s ADL Center for Technology and Society found that only 28 percent of posts flagged for antisemitic content were taken down or sanctioned.
“While we have no way to actually verify if the company is de-amplifying antisemitic content, we have found that Twitter is failing to take down tweets that clearly violate hateful conduct policies,” the report said.
Also vague accusations and innuendo, based on a definition of “hate” pulled directly from their asses.

“A Massachusetts 14-year-old died Friday hours after he participated in the so-called “One Chip Challenge” — a viral social media trend that the teen’s family believes contributed to his sudden death, according to reports.
Harris Wolobah, a sophomore at Doherty Memorial High School in Worcester, consumed an exceedingly spicy Paqui chip at school and quickly developed a stomachache, his mother, Lois, told NBC 10 Boston.
Harris was picked up by family and brought home and started to feel better, but was later found passed out when he had intended to leave for basketball tryouts, his mom reportedly said.
The young teen was rushed to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead.”

There was something else going on here.
Yeah, I’m not buying it.
What was his vaccination status?
Obviously not enough boosters!
Yep or has some weird mutation that the body just shut down…
More likely is the challenge has something else on the chip..

In April, the social media site received backlash for seemingly stepping back from a longstanding policy that aimed to protect transgender people on the platform. Twitter had banned the targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender people since 2018, but a line referring to that ban was removed from its policy earlier this year.
GLAAD named Twitter, now X, “the most dangerous platform for LGBTQ people” in its Social Media Safety Index.
Ban it.
More likely is the challenge has something else on the chip..
