THE GREATEST ESPIONAGE OPERATION, EVER: No link, but serious admiration for Israeli military and intelligence organizations. And utter contempt for the collective and individual failure of Hezbollah to not immediately throw out any Hezbollah-provided electronic device after the first round of explosions. This is going to be a hell of a story when the details come out. I wonder if the purchase order for the pagers had Hezbollah’s name on it?
BREAKING – NYC COVID CZAR HELD SECRET SEX PARTIES DURING PANDEMIC: The hypocrisy and arrogance are off the charts here. And we all know there will be no accountability.
NEW DATABASE TO CROWD-SOURCE ELECTION FRAUD INVESTIGATION: The lede is deceiving as the database does not actually contain information on who people voted for, merely whether they voted, and did so in-person or via absentee ballot. The co-founders of the site envision citizens looking at the map in their own neighborhood and discovering anomalies. Did the person who died 10 years ago request a mail in ballot recently? Has your neighbor moved away but still appears at your neighboring address? Did the pizzeria down the street where no one lives request 10 mail-in ballots?
THE HARRIS-WALZ CAMPAIGN STRATEGY OF HIDING FROM THE MEDIA: Axios runs the numbers.
STUDY CLAIMING MEDICAL INDUSTRY RACISM DEBUNKED…AFTER FOUR YEARS: The research design contained a fatal flaw, overlooking the fact that severely underweight babies, who have very high mortality rates to start with, tend to be treated by white doctors. But it took four years for that flaw to be examined, and the original (bogus) research had already done its damage, even being cited in a SCOTUS opinion. How many other flawed studies are being treated as gospel by the media and the courts?
TALK ABOUT A SAFE BET: The New Tolerance Campaign, has offered to donate one million dollars offer to any US QUILTBAG++ group who hosts a gay pride parade in Gaza or the West Bank. For anyone unaware of the situation, Palestinians are notoriously homophobic, even by the standards of the Islamic world, and useful idiots like Queers for Palestine are in complete denial about that. I’m glad that someone is finally pushing back against QfP, and calling out the greater QUILTBAG++ movement on this.
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHO OUR ENEMIES SUPPORT: First, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he’d prefer it if Harris won the election. TMITE treated that as words of wisdom from a world leader, not the cynical statement of an enemy expressing a preference for the person he thought he could most easily intimidate and steamroll. Now along comes Iran providing data hacked from the Trump campaign to the Harris campaign for the same reason.

THE HARRIS-WALZ CAMPAIGN STRATEGY OF HIDING FROM THE MEDIA
It worked for Biden.
When the media are your campaign staff, it certainly doesn’t hurt.
I really think Trump should adopt that strategy.
Unless he is replaced by a pod person, I don’t see it happening.
Also very useful against Trump who loves to run his mouth and make unforced errors.
Just sit back and wait.
I really hope that’s missing the word “DETECTION” or “INVESTIGATION” at the end — otherwise, Joe Biden’s best voter fraud scheme has moved to the Agile swarming model…
Fixed. Thanks.

Was it the CDC that said masturbate six feet apart?
Yeah, but 51 intelligence experts(!) and “Microsoft’s threat intelligence team” (whatever the flip that may be) say otherwise!
Who are you going to believe? Your sense of logic and what Putin says… or inflammatory propaganda, hmmm?
Putin probably doesn’t care much either way. He probably sees them both as a couple dimwits. Trump probably doesn’t want to kill him, but Harris is so incompetent that she can only weaken the US further.
I don’t recall them even acknowledging it, though to be fair I tend to avoid them.
lol What a steaming pile of horseshit.
Such as? Funny how they never give examples.
Well her campaign sure as shit isn’t spreading any information about her policies.
Exploding the pagers this week might not have been the plan. Speculation that these explosions were supposed to be coordinated with an Israeli invasion – but some low-level guys in Hezbollah figures it out, so Israelis blew them now even though they’re not ready to invade.
“Why are the new pagers branded ‘Nut Cracker 3000?’ That’s an odd name.

Still, Operation Grim Beeper was a yuge success…
[golf clap] for OGB. Did you come up with that?
Not me. As seen on X.
Notable that the ordinary American thinks OGB was brilliant and even funny while certain other people are enraged by it even if they aren’t saying it out loud.
Yeah; exploding pagers seems about the most targeted way to go after individual agents you can think of, but some people are still complaining that non-agents got too close.
Ted S.:
For some reason, when I suggest that Israel should have just launched a bunch of missiles over at Lebanon, people get really pissed.
As I said elsewhere, we’re talking about a CEP in the 10cm range. That’s very slightly less selective than shooting a motherfucker in the head.
We got over Dresden, Hamburg, Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki so we can get over Operation Grim Beeper.
Who our enemies support? Our enemies, of course. See how that works.
I have a feeling they are no more “queer” (as in homosexual) than the “queers” who are assigned tranny flag-waving duty at American soccer events.
I think I mentioned this before: “Queer” was stolen by the marxists and now means communist.
I’ve mentioned it many times. I don’t who was first. 😆
But yeah, it’s impossible to ignore now.
From the gnashing of teeth from the anti-Israel crowd I believe they know that was a huge demoralizer and could very well have stopped others from joining in the hatin’ on da Jooos crowd.
Someone else also pointed out to me that it immediately outs a large number of Hezbollah members/affiliates/auxiliaries who will need to go in for medical treatment. Which should allow Lebanon to prosecute them as terrorists.
Given Hezbollah’s state-within-a-state nature, prosecutions aren’t happening.
Edward Snowden called it terrorism. Because it is.
Except that terrorism deliberately targets civilians and that’s the key thing that makes it terrorism.
Well, this is a war and that’s what happens in a war. This operation was much more selective than fire bombing cities. Don’t get me started on the Thirty Years War.

The last couple times we bought softball cleats for my daughter she chose New Balance. For some reason the kids are turning away from Nike & Under Armour and going with New Balance. It seems Jordans are still a thing but New Balance is not just for middle aged Corvette driving studs anymore.
My nephew was up for a soccer game vs. BC High a few months back and I was surprised how many of the teens in the bleachers were wearing New Balance.
Old man shoes no more – I’m cool now!
Also good for wide feet.
*looks down at Barney Rubble feet*
Yes. Yes they are.
Was not aware of their image – never owned anything by them.
Long-time Adidas fan for that stuff.
wife – “Didn’t you wear New Balance years ago?”
me – “Yes, but they’re cool now so I wear Brooks.”
I started buying them for my wide feet years before my studly self bought a Corvette.
High dudgeon
Second gentleman Doug Emhoff blasted remarks made by Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who said Vice President Kamala Harris “doesn’t have anything to keep her humble” because she does not have biological children.
“We know that all parents, no matter how you become one, make the same sacrifices and revel in the same joys of raising children as any parent anywhere,” Emhoff defended his wife while speaking at a campaign event in Brooklyn, New York, Wednesday evening.
“As if keeping women humble, whether you have children or not, is something we should strive for. It is not,” the second gentleman said. “Women in this country will never humble themselves before Donald Trump.”
Sure, Doug. Whatever you say.
Women in this country will never humble themselves
The left, in a nutshell
GOPs internal poll now has Harris only up 2 percent in PA. They are trying to recruit thousands of poll watchers. Hope lots of them are plumbers able to fix all those broken pipes when votes are being counted at midnight.
Yes, but from what you’ve said PA Team Red is perfectly fine with OMB losing.
Not if he pulls down the state and local tickets.
“It’s Trumps fault we lost those races”
TBF, Dr. Oz is kinda on Trump. As is Walker in GA.
I really do not think her internals are anywhere near the Machine’s public facing propaganda polls
Is “they” the democrats or the republicans?
The republicans should be doing that in any state within a mile of being in play.

People are fucking morons, film at 11.
There is always somebody who thinks xer dog is exempt from the rules.
See the last accident there.
I saw it last week – more than one fuckface thought the “no dogs” rule at Zion didn’t apply to them.
I bow to no man in my love for my dog (look at that punim), but she can’t come with us everywhere.
Question for you dog people. Our (outdoor) 7 month old Great Pyrenees is in the “ill fucking destroy anything that isn’t bolted down, including that thing the delivery driver just set down” phase.
I’d love to keep her free roaming, but after she ate a grocery bag she found, barfed twice, and flat out shredded a hard to find book and some dvds, she’s back on the leash.
Is this something she’ll grow out of, or do I have to train her to stop destroying my stuff?
You read TV Guide? What kind of monster are you?
I think Kristi Noem wrote a book on dog training once. She has some relevant advice.
While i was really tempted to shoot the dog this morning as I was cleaning up the shreds of dvd cases and book covers, I’d like to make her fit for purpose rather than fit for consumption.
I know your hunger for the marrow of earth creatures never ceases, but puppy isn’t the best tasting fare.
In all seriousness, I hope the dog calms down. Professional training os a start. A family member will need to attend.
Hopefully that makes a difference.
“You read TV Guide? What kind of monster are you?”
That was taken at my MIL’s place.
She also unironically watches MSNBC as “the news”. Whaddya gonna do?
Second professional training (even at Petsmart or Petco). Crate training (we’re awful at this), on leash/restricted when out. There’s some good YouTubers (Zak George other than his relentless hawking, Kikopup, etc).
We’re starting to see some light at the end of a year long tunnel. May be an oncoming train. Pup has chewed my reading glasses, shredded papers, chewed up carpet, storage boxes. Fucking monster.
Also, talk with your vet. We’re using trazadone and some other things after diagnosing as separation anxiety.
And realize you’re not alone with dealing with such a dog. I called to make an appt to Noem our pup after going beyond our limit.
And to answer the specific asked question. Possibly grow out of it, but also want to train out of it. Otherwise, repeated destruction can train themselves into that it’s ok (and provides whatever satisfaction they’re getting: boredom, lack of appropriate outlets, teething pain, etc).
I fucked a moron once.
I think a smart policy announcement from Trump would to be to press a true innovation centric policy reducing regulations on any company pursuing space.
Or just any company period.
Stymied
The continuation of the restraining order is the latest setback for the Biden administration’s efforts to cancel people’s federal student loans. President Joe Biden began promising to alleviate people’s education debts during his 2020 campaign bid, but Republican legal challenges have consistently stymied his attempts.
The development stems from a lawsuit against the president’s aid package brought by seven GOP-led states earlier this month. The states — Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, North Dakota and Ohio — said the U.S. Department of Education’s new debt cancellation effort, like its previous attempts, is illegal.
When Trump loses in court it’s because he doesn’t have a legal leg to stand on. When Biden loses it’s Republican legal trickery and loopholes.
When Trump loses in court he complies with the court. When Biden loses in court he tries to find workarounds and his allies threaten to pack the court. Trump is obviously the authoritarian.
I had a date with Tonio’s boyfriend! He’s fun and easy to talk to and has excellent facial hair.
Oh yeah.

Nothing is that excellent.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t receiving hacked material from a foreign power (especially a hostile one) constitute collusion and election interference?
Yes, wasn’t that one of the charges against Trump? That a Russian agent tried to pass him intelligence on Hillary?

Ha! At the gym the TV just had a Trump ad about Bidenomics. One cut had Joe getting lost on stage and Kamala running over to retrieve him.
All he really needs to do is post Kamala, making a word salad with subcaptions. Then a slow fade to Trump 2024.
Her actual policy pronouncements from days gone by (before the campaign started memory holing/walking them back) are a lot scarier.
Why don’t you want to pay for sex changes for incarcerated illegal immigrants? Are you some kind of bigot?
Boy yes. She announced during the vice presidential debate that she was for packing the Supreme Court and taking all the guns. And that was just one speaking engagement.
And that was just one speaking engagement.
Amazing that she couldn’t even win one delegate to the ’20 convention. Give her credit, she figured out how to get the nomination without any of that icky winning Democratic votes.
Yikes!

Estonians had a reputation of levelheaded people In the Soviet Union. What did the West do to them in the last 30 years?
Estonia signals readiness to preemptively strike Russia to defend NATO
During an interview with the Estonian public broadcaster ERR, Estonian General Vahur Karus has stated that Estonia is ready to strike Russian territory if Moscow shows signs of preparing for an attack on NATO.
Far less than Russia did to them over the last 80 years.
Why only 80 years? Estonia was a part of the Russian Empire or the Soviet Union since 1710 with a 20-year period of independence between the world wars.
Small country will no natural defenses and a not insignificant Russian minority. Bold strategy.
A minority that was partof a deliberate Russian strategy to ethically cleanse the place.
Somehow Russia has “valid historical reasons” for all its aggression, but nobody has any valid reasons for hating Russia.
Cotton.
“A minority that was part of a deliberate Russian strategy to ethically cleanse the place.” I mostly agree with that, but the fact is, they are there now. I have no idea if they prefer to stay as part of Estonia or if they are longing to be part of Mother Russia, but either way, there’s a risk that Russia could stir up trouble with them.
Yeah funny thing about Crimea. The ethnic Tatars were driven out post-WWII and replaced with ethnic Russians, not Ukrainians.
See also, Konigsberg.
Crimea was a part of Russia until 1954. It made sense that Russians moved there after WWII.
Everyone in that region hates Russia with the fire of a thousand suns for very good reason.
Some would even die for that hate.
LOL. This is so naïve.
This is a good take on another prominent Estonian politician who now is in charge of the EU foreign policy. Revel is the former name of Tallinn, the Estonian capital.
The point of people like Kallas is not that they “hate Russia” but that they simply do what they’re told. Her family was an enthusiastic part of the Soviet ruling class, before that they enthusiastically served the Germans, now they serve Brussels/DC. As is obvious from her husband’s business ties to Russia, there is no actual “ideology” at work here — it is merely the specific mechanism of the parasitical class of social strivers in small countries. Under different circumstances, Kaja Kallas would be head of the United Russia faction in the Revel oblast regional parliament, with just as much enthusiasm.
Interesting.
thanks for educating me.
Have that here also. Red politicians would be Democrats in a blue state, and v.v.
LOL. This is so naïve.
So you mean that the more specifics you know about a situation the harder it is to black and white it?

Thanks for the Michèle Mouton Pikes climb video this morning. What a woman!
Here’s a nice short doc on her career.
I’m getting nostalgic for old school rally.
Michele Mouton is one of my favorites from the group B era. Talk about beauty and the beast, plus she started with an Alpine Renault A110.
New Balance is not just for middle aged Corvette driving studs anymore
There’s a girl tennis player with a million watt smile in a shoe ad- isn’t she pitching New Balance?
Coco Gauff. NB has been stepping up their sponsorship game.
Shohei Ohtani too, which is a good get for them.
Michèle Mouton Pikes climb video this morning. What a woman!
I was there. Talk about a technological disruption event.
Indeed. In that doc they showed the technical dominance of the Quattro – in certain circumstances.
Pretty jealous you got to see that.
Further, the paved road and wondercars make thew hill climb far less interesting to me.
Further, the paved road and wondercars make thew hill climb far less interesting to me.
I have zero interest in Pikes Peak since they paved it all the way to the top. Pretty much lost interest before that.
Fun fact: I have never been to the top of Pikes Peak; only to the staging/pit area at the bottom of the top practice section.
I keep meaning to get up there. I’ll send you some pics.
The cog train has been fully rebuilt and is a nifty technology to take to the top.
Were you working for one of the teams?
I’ve been up there by train and one time I decided to walk back down to the parking lot at the bottom and holy shit did my legs hurt.
Quad buster.
Pickle popper!
I’d like to do the Cog Up / Bike Down sometime.
I had a similar experience on Maui years ago (van hauls you to the summit of Haleakala, watch the sun rise above the clouds, bike 40 miles downhill to the coast) and it was absolutely sublime.
I mean the hill climb race. That looks like fun for those who like bikes.
Actually, the year after that, some guys showed up with a Metro 6R4. I spent a bunch of time hanging out with them and picking their brains. That car was fucking cool.
Slicks?
No, they were American.
Were you working for one of the teams?
Yes. That’s where I got my start.
Which? If you’re cool with sharing?
“STUDY CLAIMING MEDICAL INDUSTRY RACISM DEBUNKED”
I recall discussing that study when it came out. The obvious question was asked (I don’t recall if it was me): “Did they risk adjust those deliveries?”
Apparently, they did not. And its so obvious that its fraudulent not to.
I think everyone knew it was bullshit at the time anyway for precisely those confounders.
Which? If you’re cool with sharing?
It was just a no name local team From Colorado Springs, with an open wheel car.

Pager poppers: As far as I am concerned the time for diplomacy, talking, deal making etc ended on Oct. 7, 2023.
When I see a pile of the corpses of 12yo to 30yo women stripped, raped, beaten and machine gunned, bodies tossed in a pile like garbage there is no going back. Everything is on the table. They deliberately did the most vile, horrible, unspeakable acts they could think of to outrage and demoralize their target. That mentality has permeated their culture top to bottom.
The Jews are being nice. I would exterminate them, fuck what anyone thinks of it. It must be stamped out, uprooted and burned root, branch and leaf. I am not talking just about Hamas or even Hezbollah, I mean the Iran regime and everyone anywhere that had anything to do with it. They should all pay for what they did with their lives.
