The Dolphins beat the Rams in what can only be described as a game of bad football. Jeremy Roenick is finally going into the hockey HOF. I can’t watch the NBA, so I have no idea what’s going on there. And soccer if on it’s twenty-eight international break of the season already, it seems. So that’s it for sports.
Remember when Trump said they were going to look into the college accreditation system? Perhaps he can start with the Ivy League. It’s silliness at this point. Just silliness.
What, does it constantly send out alerts to other vessels and have extra sturdy fenders all the way around? I KEED! I KEED! (Kind of.)
Let’s hope this is just the start. I just hope some of ones to get paid are the soldiers and sailors.
Popcorn! Get your popcorn here! Heads are gonna be exploding one way or the other. But my guess is the prosecutors are hopeful he throws it out so the appeal dies and they don’t get sanctioned by higher courts.
“Made me” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Get some tougher skin, lady.
This is bananas. Totally bananas.
Well then, somebody’s lying here. It would probably be wise to conduct a thorough forensic audit of the books. I say do it in Texas or perhaps Wyoming, to ensure transparency.
This is true. And I still want Trump to recall Milley to active duty and then have him court-martialed for pulling this shit the last time around.
“Oops. Our bad.” Like, how does this even happen? Where’s the QC Department? What a mess.
I don’t want to hear people decry gas station food ever again. At least not Brisket And Rice, anyway.
A little Rock and Roll is in order today. Love that song. This one too. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Tuesday, dear friends.
“Let’s hope this is just the start. I just hope some of ones to get paid are the soldiers and sailors.”
Amen…
“Popcorn! Get your popcorn here! Heads are gonna be exploding one way or the other. But my guess is the prosecutors are hopeful he throws it out so the appeal dies and they don’t get sanctioned by higher courts.”
After being crushed, driven before the trump voters, and hearing the lamentation of the liberal women, are they going to want to keep doing this shit? What do they think it will get them at this point?
“Are they going to want to keep doing this shit?”
Absolutely. They lost because they didn’t do enough of this shit or hard enough.
“What do they think it will get them at this point?”
Prevent Orange Man Bad from taking office. And his little Vance too.
There appear to be several different reasons that are being posted in all the “Democrats lose” reflection pieces I’ve been seeing:
1) It’s Biden’s fault for not dropping out earlier, and saddling Harris with his policies – The same policies that she said she couldn’t think of anything she would do differently.
2) It’s due to the misogyny and racism of men, specifically Latinx men – This has not been going over well
3) It’s because America won’t elect a woman of color – Going over a little better than the previous one
4) It’s because Harris was too soft on Israel – You can’t be a progressive without a soupcon of antisemitism.
5) It’s because the Democrats lost the working class and became the party of the elites – This has been popping up more, but the thoughts for winning them back have been all over the place.
6) It’s because there are just too many sexist, misogynist, racist, bigoted, transphobic, fascist, and Nazis voters – These are the people I actually worry about.
“There appear to be several different reasons that are being posted in all the “Democrats lose” reflection pieces I’ve been seeing:”
The only things they will not consider is that they had ruined things for everyone for 4 years, then tried to run on stupid evil shit, and people had enough of that crap.
I do not understand the confidence from Trump super fans.
It was still a close race. It should have been a blow out, what failed?
Saw an interesting graph of the vote counting in WI. Trump’s votes went up in a pretty steady curve. There was a big spike in Harris votes, but not enough to catch up. It sure looks like they tried to rig the vote in WI but Trump’s lead was, indeed, “too big to rig”. That could be (part of?) the answer as to why it wasn’t a blowout.
robodruid:
I’m far from being a Trump super fan, and I don’t have much confidence. I firmly believe that ~80% of the population would vote for a literal shit sandwich over any breathing candidate if the shit sandwich had the right letter after it’s title. I am enjoying watching the progressives getting smacked down and losing all the swing states, the house, the senate, the presidency, and the popular vote.
I’ve been pretty clear that I don’t like Vance, but he’s a hell of a con man.
Yeah, in their base. The nation is beginning to show that it’s sick of their shit.
In that vein, some of the trends coming out are fascinating.
Like Donald gained bigly in NYC of all places. And not at all in my county to the north – and it’s all down to demographics.
It was still a close race. It should have been a blow out, what failed?
Roughly 40% of voters will vote for a moldy sock if there’s a D after the name. This has been the case for 35 years. 55% is the cap for the Rs short of some major social upheaval.
It was still a close race. It should have been a blow out, what failed?
From an EC standpoint, I think it was kind of a blowout, in that Trump took all the states that he had any chance of taking. He got all the swing states, and even picked up a couple that really ought to have been safe for the Ds, Arizona and Michigan. He also won the popular vote, which says something about what kind of turn out he got even in the states he lost.
Where the Trump superfans need to check their enthusiasm, I think, is that a R majority in the House and the Senate is a LONG LONG way from cooperation with a Trump administration in those houses. Last night someone posted that Senate Rs are trying to quietly lock in an anti-Trump Senate Majority Leader, and if that happens, all of the shit stirrers that Trump wants in his administration are never going to get confirmed. Like, Mr “We can deport whole families” is DOA.
My bet is:
Double down. Let it stand. It is all they have left, even if it ends in total humiliation. I bet 4 Quatloos on the court standing.
Same crooked ass judge that ruled let this clown show go on and ruled against him before. Not sure why he wouldn’t put the screws to him now.
“This is bananas. Totally bananas.”
I have seen the movie! I know how this ends!!!

I bet one of the monkeys, erm apes, was called Caesar….
Right now it’s ending with my eyes rolled so far into my head I can see my brain.
Did they escape by flying a plane?
I don’t trust the Tire company’s food recommendations. They just want to sell more tires by making people drive further.
But that’s precisely the reason I do trust them.
To be fair, you also think SkyLine makes chili.
And now I don’t either.
Houston got embarrassed by Austin the results, which is very much representative of reality. With Dallas being waaaaay behind, which is also representative of reality.
Like I mentioned in my standalone comment — these listings seem pretty damn accurate.
Sounds about right, other than I would have guessed – without any evidence 🙂 – Dallas to be ahead of Houston.
But it sure as hell rubs me the wrong way that they’re taking bribes to hand out these stars. Funded by taxpayers, no less.
Houston is a major city that everyone thinks is a cow town.
Dallas is a cow town that everyone thinks is a major city.
Alternatively: DFW is the world’s largest shopping mall.
I sent the results to my son in Austin. Now he needs to come up with some money to try them.
“Houston is a major city that everyone thinks is a cow town.
Dallas is a cow town that everyone thinks is a major city.”
Every city is a cattle call, and a food rating is just telling you what feed lot to go to. And SLC is the words biggest shopping mall, but if Dallas is trying to catch up, well, that’s their business.
The thing that Austin had going for it was an impoverished creative underclass and zero regulations on food trucks. This resulted in many attempts at starting a food truck business, and a few of them showing some literal culinary genius. Some restaurants adapted, stole, or poached from these.
Then other restaurants started getting pissed and had the city ban food trucks.
Some of the food trucks had enough of a following to transform into static restaurants, and while the food scene isn’t nearly as vibrant, the legacy persists.
Now gentrification is pushing out the creative impoverished underclass and is replacing it with tech workers and a parasitic underclass. And so it goes. Eventually Austin will be San Francisco east.
Says the guy living one town over from Cowvallis.
When I was stationed at Holloman AFB we were subjected to a couple ‘lockdowns’ because of the monkey research facility located on or near the base and White Sands. Basically apes/chimps/primates with terrible diseases and inflictions.
I believe it has been sunset and just letting the monkeys live out their lives in relative peace. I will say in terms of base protection, it was 2nd and ahead of the F-117s stationed there and only behind another asset.
only behind another asset
The base that dare not speak it’s name.
Look…watching a F-15 get tugged into a hanger that is just large enough for one fighter and another aircraft come out completely…never happened..ever.
It’s hunting season around here. The local news showed several game cameras that picked up monkeys climbing trees in SC and GA.
Are they eating local bats? What about pangolins?
Rhesus monkeys are herbivores, mostly fruit-eaters.
Bats are basically winged kiwi fruit.
This is the first time I’ve encountered semi-torporific bats. I’ve previously encountered hibernating ones in caves but for some reason this year a few have been trying to set up kip in Kayaderosseras’ storage sheds.
Sure they were – before the genetic modifications.
It’s hunting season around here.
My mutt was a lab goldie mix and he was death on paws for birds. I wonder if a lab monkey would also be pretty decent for hunting. Especially for raccoons. They could go up in the trees right after them.
:Drake
Can’t believe everything you see on those trail cameras
I believe the porn address…was on purpose. However, whitehouse.com used to be a porn site and many of people ventured there in the early days thinking they’d be getting the White House gov page.
There were several schools where teachers told their students to go to whitehouse.com back in the day. Hilarity usually ensued and the teacher usually got let go.
“they’d be getting the White House gov page.”
Well, one does have to admit it is topical. I mean these cuntes do fuck us all.
Oh, yeah. Disney has so many wokists that I can’t believe putting a porn site on the box was an accident of some kind.
In this rare instance, I think it was more likely just ignorance.
Yeah, Disney has never had something like this happen before….
Have to jump the gun on sharing, because the children at The Nation want story-time.
I encourage this but we know it will be struggle sessions of online videos, not oral history of their families and communities.
I want to be a rest coach for all of those grievance warriors. There’s always money in scamming stupid people.
“It’s hard to describe the shock I felt. How shocked I was by my own shock.”
Oooh-we! That is some prime derp. She picked up Kamalama’s speaking style and is passing it on to us.
JFC get a job hippy.
“organized by Octavia Raheem, a rest coach for Black, Indigenous, and women of color who are senior leaders, founders, and business owners.”
That is a very specific demographic that will limit you potential client base.
Also if you need a rest coach, you aren’t working hard enough.
learn to coal!
Yeah, but my guess is that big corporations don’t have the guts to tell those black and indigenous women who are senior leaders that they will not reimburse them for their rest coach expenses. So that is probably super lucrative.
They might have a couple owners and founders of businesses dumb enough to pay for her nonsense, but I’m guessing that the vast majority of her clients are from giant corporations.
That assumes she is actually working in that “field” and not just putting it on her resume.
From the zerohedge article comments:
Third time is the charm. I would love to see that campaign.
Fetterman has been sounding amazingly coherent and cunning recently. He actually has a shot of becoming a leader in the current Democratic party I think.
Fetterfake. I will never believe that is the same incoherent guy that went into the hospital.
Drake:
I’m with you. Can’t be the same guy.
Fetterman has been sounding amazingly coherent
You did not watch his Rogan appearance.
I believe he will become a leader in the D’s as soon as they get rid of the wolk.
IE, about the time he retires.
Fetterman has lurched too far to the right since he’s recovered from his stroke to be picked. I think AOC-Beto is more likely.
“Lurched” what you did there, it was seen.
Beto
This generation’s Harold Stassen.
Beto guarantees abject failure. The guy is a mess. I think people outside Texas don’t realize what a human train wreck he is.
Yikes. They really have given up if that happens.
AOC/Buttigieg.
Now that’s the ticket!
List them. Valid studies only.
When you think all races and sexes “think the same”, maybe you’re the racist sexist.
Getting laid tends to boost ones mood and work ethic
So prison is a good thing?
I’d love to get stats on how many of the WAVE’s come back from the sub cruises pregnant.
What will the public think when large numbers of women start to die on them during a major conflict? Subs tend to be “Overdue. Presumed lost.” a great deal during wars.
Oh… sorry, those are classified. You can’t see them. National Security and all that.
You wouldn’t interpret them correctly. Only the priests can divine the truth.
I really hope Trump can put a stop to this bullshit and return the focus to whatever is most effective at actually fighting a war.
Rescind Biden’s day-one orders to infest every agency with DEI bullshit and it ends. Fire the heads pushing it.
The tricky part is figuring out how to stop the next Dem from pulling the same shit.
“The tricky part is figuring out how to stop the next Dem from pulling the same shit.”
The only way to make it stick is to do a good enough job that it keeps the DEI crowd wandering the desert for 40 years…
If these fools do a bad job, we will be right back to where we are today.
Those people won’t stop, ever.
Get more cases in front of SCOTUS.
They are pointing the causal arrow the wrong way. Companies are diverse because they are good, not the other way around.

Because of you, I have been reading a lot of Postcards from Barsoom.
https://barsoom.substack.com/p/academia-is-womens-work
Super long post on how colleges are killing themselves, but not hard to see how it would apply to any institution that does diversity for diversity’s sake.
Diversity’s greatest problem is the reality of scarcity. What will tend to happen is that those amongst the diversity pool that are seriously qualified will be picked up by the A team players. The other teams, also trying to meet the diversity requirement will then staff up with what is left. Sooner than later, you are guaranteed to be picking up unqualified people, because the hiring manager’s bonus and raise depend on meeting that commitment. And the lower you go down the ladder, the higher the incompetence you end up with in said entity.
Think about it. Boeing and airline maintenance is seriously impacted by that reality already. What does it say about every other less sexy company in the American public sector straddled with this obligation?
As soon as you sidestep the main reason for an institution to exist, it is on the road to failure.
You posted this while I was in the middle of asking the same question. I’ve looked, not hard, but have not found any yet.
Douglass? That jive-ass white man wannabe? He was so subservient to the white man that he learned to use white language better than most wypiple.
Douglass did join the Progressive movement though. However he was a Prohibitionist.
No heroes, just flawed people.
Everyone is flawed. That is why one must destroy this cult where they demand you be perfect by adhering to whatever lunacy of the day they demand.
He was also a HUGE fan of Lincoln and thought the Civil War was worth the cost.
I am a huge Douglass fan, but don’t agree with him on everything.
I have the advantage of hindsight, as well as not being personally affected by slavery.
That would have to change your outlook.
Yeah…from his background and personal experiences – hard to argue that point. But I still haven’t had a chance to read his letters and the other material you recommended last year.
Odd Duck is (or sat least was) better than Barley Swine.
Other than that, I have no serious objections.
Somehow I get the impression that what this nonsense is really about is virtue-signalling the near-universal dislike of the wrong-thinker on that stage.
I’ve seen one piece saying that the Republicans are now “controlled by the rich” due to attracting billionaire donors, while ignoring Soros, Gates, Hollywood, etc. on the Democrat side.
That’s exactly what it is. But I still stand by my statement that these people need to get tougher skin. This can’t be the first time in her life where someone told her the skits they were working on weren’t funny.
No wait, based on the few SNL bits I’ve seen in the last decade that got into production, perhaps it was the first time somebody told them it wasn’t any good. There’s no other explanation for so much unfunny dreck being aired with such frequency.
Oh absolutely. If you have a thick skin, you have no right being in comedy FFS.
(insert “don’t” in there)
This and the Trump meltdowns are a combination of people whose information ecosystem is composed entirely of tick-tok and women (and effeminate men) with some flavor of Cluster B personality disorder trying to emotionally blackmail the world. I think the balance of them is the latter.
“Elon Musk made me cry”
She should work with Chevy Chase and see how that goes.
Yep. She hasn’t learned that the best comedians are all assholes.
Didn’t everyone say that Don Rickles was a sweetheart?
I was talking with Mrs OBE and musing about how people are now screaming “Who’s going to pick your food if OMB rounds them all up”. I suspect similar cries happened sometime in the mid to late 1800s “Who’s going to do your housework and field work if we free them”.
Well articulated…
Fun fact, there have been improvements in produce picking robots. Mass adoption has been delayed by the availability of cheap stoop labor.
Elon musk’s robots enter the chat….
The funniest part is their complete ignorance of the H2-A programs that have been in place forever.
The honestly think the big production farmers just wait until a bunch of illegals show up around harvest and ask where the lettuce is and then start picking it. They have no idea the same people tend to come here annually (legally) on a visa and work the same fields and orchards because they actually know what they’re doing and all this work is very time-sensitive.
Try to explain that to them though and you are met with militant ignorance.
Excellent point.
It would be illuminating to get some sort of breakdown of what exactly our illegals are doing or not for a living.
Given they don’t have authorization to work, if they are it is under the table.
Most farmers that use stoop laber have agents that do the hiring for them. They are not the ones checking ID’s (not that the agents do this either.)
It gives them a remove to say that they were told that everyone is on the up and up, and that they didn’t falsify paperwork.
Yup. Pull over a full size van full of people before dawn during harvest and guarantee it’s all foreign nationals heading out to the fields.
Also, fake/stolen/reused SS #’s are a thing. So are valid taxpayer identification numbers and state issued drivers licenses to non citizens.
The formulation I have seen floating around is:
Democrats in 1860: Who will pick the cotton!?
Democrats in 2024: Who will pick the fruit!?
Smart reply.
Smarter would have been to avoid that shitshow in the first place.
There was money to be made from fools…
I like how Oprah is saying she wasn’t paid by the Harris campaign. Which is technically correct I guess because the payment went to Oprah’s production company, and not her personally. Although I assume Oprah profits personally from her production company.
And Stormy Daniels wasn’t paid by Trump handing her a check, either.
Life finds a way.
Sasquatch / Monkey hybrids was not on my betting card for 2025.

Speaking of NHL HOF’ers. I hear and see Gretzky has simultaneously caused Canada to head to their nearest care facility to seek end-of-life care.
Trudeau is already looking at ways to have him arrested..
What did I miss? Is Gretzky MACA?
MCGA, rather… that doesn’t work as well as Make England Great Again.
Was at the Trump victory party it seems and appears that the Hat’s Canadian brother was drunk and got on his head instead of Donalds.
MAHGA. It’s pronounced the same.
I see. It is a little baffling that Fiedel Jr. survived their last election. I suppose they don’t have an alternative. They have a choice between “mass immigration and gay race communism” and “mass immigration and gay race communism, but slower.”
To keep count, that is two NHL greats, him and Theo Fleury. Fleury is an outspoken critic of Trudeau
Pretty sure America’s Hat is still parliamentary – so as long as he’s popular in his home district, he’ll get re-elected easily – just like the US – but then if he’s the head of his party, he’s the automatic PM.
“Wicked” is bad fanfic, based on the boring premise: “the bad guy was really the good guy, all along!”
The only show in which this twist worked was “Cobra Kai”, and they didn’t fundamentally change Johnny’s personality, they just changed the story to his perspective.
“Wicked” makes the Wicked Witch of the West a kind, loving, put-upon outsider who never really does anything wrong, and then is killed by Dorothy Gale.
Well I follow the South Park premise on Broadway plays.
Wicked Witch of color murdered by privileged white girl.
Satanists want to remake their boss’ image…
Already seen that play.
The author of Wicked couldn’t even be bothered to get the basics of Oz correct. I have heard that he never even read the original books.
So it’s not even fanfic, it’s fanfic based on a remembered version of a movie adaptation. Which explains why several book races and subplots were ignored in Wicked.
I saw it in London and liked the music / production values. The story itself I forgot instantly.
My wife saw Wicked in London over the summer, she enjoyed it. I have heard that the stage version isn’t terrible, they don’t really lean into the oppression narrative nearly as hard as this film seems to. But Hollywood is gonna Hollywood.
I’ve seen Wicked twice live. It’s quite good. Retellings can be great, even when they depart from the original completely.
My daughter told me the new Mufasa movie reveals Mufasa was an adopted orphan, hence the real reason why Scar was so salty! I thought maybe she was joking, but the internet confirmed it is true.
Scar being a jealous little brother wasn’t enough to want to kill his brother for power, he also had to be assmad about the adoption. Only Disney wanting to ruin every good thing they made would let this happen.
Old Hamlet wasn’t adopted, but there’s always room in Shakespeare to do something weird.
There was a whole schlew of books with that premise in the 90s and 2000s.
Trump better pick a hell of a Sec Def. Somebody like Douglas Macgregor who isn’t a neo-con and will not tolerate shit.
A bunch of Generals and Admirals need to be relieved and retired.
They picked Rubio it seems.
And anyone of flag rank that got promoted during the Obama tenure and after has to go. These people bent the knee to the “fundamental change”, “climate change”, and DEI shit to get that promotion, so they are automatically disqualified.
I thought he was talking about Rubio for State?
I thought he picked Rubio for SecState.
My bad… I misread.
Little Marco?
He’s still in politics? After he drank water?
Even better – get Congress to reduce the number of FOGO billets to be proportional to the overall force and in accordance with the structure as it was pre WWII.
Insert stop gif here.
I like what I’m hearing now, but MacGregor was one of the guys that wanted to do Iraq on a budget.
OFFS!

According to RCP, the Pachyderms have officially won the House; so I guess we won’t get another impeachment on day 1. Popcorn salesmen are despondent.
To these crooks it ain’t over. I hear Schumer is refusing to let new team red senators (Dave McCormick) go to the Senate orientation, because he hopes team blue steals that seat….
I am wondering when people will wise up that team blue doesn’t care what the American people want, they care what they and the bureaucracy wants, and the people are in the way of that. Team red better not go there.
McCormick needs to show up anyway, and make a big public spectacle of it.
Go on offense. Stay on offense.
You can never drive too hard to the basket when Schumer is in your way. It’s worth the occasional charging call.
McCormick needs to show up anyway, and make a big public spectacle of it.
Go on offense. Stay on offense.
And carry on about Schumer and the Dems being election deniers and thwarting both Democracy and a peaceful transition of power.
McCormick needs to show up anyway, and make a big public spectacle of it.
Go on offense. Stay on offense.

Good one, your holiness.
Does she make it wear a condom?
https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/model-dubbed-the-handbrake-girl-34059171
Kink shaming that poor girl? And is that her real pic?
She can drive stick?
Fucking double-standards!
Just from the headline, be aware that handbrake is a mildly derogatory slang term for girlfriend down in the land of the upside down (at least from memory and reading). Think ball and chain, they’re the handbrake to keep you from having fun.
That doesn’t make sense. Handbrakes add to the fun. Nothing like whipping the car around, even FWD.
I hate e-brakes.
Tundra:
That’s judicious use of the handbrake. Having it on all the time makes the car perform poorly.
/remembers one of the girlfriend’s Millennial friends thinking his car was broken because he had accidentally engaged the parking brake (which my brain still wants to call an emergency brake due to poor upbringing).
It’s interesting that Trump, who is supposed to be so petty and vindictive that he would never give anything to someone who challenged him, is handing out cabinet positions to former primary opponents.
Except for Nikki. Because she’s the worst.
Is that the same Nikki???
Friends close, enemies closer
I suspect that the invasion of our country, foisted upon us by those that hope to remake the electorate in their image, is going to undergo another “Fundamental change” after revelations like this. Suddenly they will not want people from south & central America anymore… Euros and Asians are not welcome either. So what is left?
Soros groups are shipping in sub-Saharan Africans as fast as they can. South Africa will be the goal.
They still vote donkey 2-1, and the illegal version probably in greater numbers.
I’m a little sad about that. Was hoping for the trifecta.
Now that the House has been declared for the Rs, Vindman must be sad that there won’t be more Trump impeachments in the next congress.
Did that shitbag win?
Yes. You can count on Hoodbridge to tip the balance.
There’s another shitbag that needs to be recalled to AD, court martialled, have his naturalization revoked, and deported back to Ukraine so he can carry on the good fight personally.
This could also have been the Ray of Sunshine
Looks like the cuts might actually include staff this time too. Good.
In my town, they basically kept voting on a budget until the got enough school parents to approve a 10% hike on us tax payers…
Duluth gov needs some better game…
In my one-party D town, they had to go at it a second time to reduce the increase. And somehow it does include sacking a bunch of staff.
OH NOES! Trump is putting a 6Jer in charge of shit…
At this point I think the panic is about that whole thing getting exposed an these fools ending up with more egg on their face.
Am I the only one who thinks “my body, my choice” and ” government healthcare / healthcare is a right” are incompatible? You get to choose, but if that body gets sick, then that is you business and no one else’s.
I’d believe em if they also were not the same folks that shamed others for not getting into line with the COVID shots
No you’re exactly right – they don’t get that once the public is providing you with healthcare, your options about healthcare are public decisions.
Good Morning Glibs! I missed you all this weekend. We had the NHL Sled Classic in Dallas, where our two team went a combined 0-7. Not that some games weren’t close.
Somehow I got in the van driven by our resident NPR Teammate, so I got to hear about “stupid rednecks” and anti-Trump crap all weekend. Luckily I have a few Republican teammates so we had a lot of laughs at the NPR guy’s expense.
The best part was Saturday. One of those Republican teammates had a friend drive in from Austin to watch our games, so Saturday night we loaded 2 wheelchairs into the guy’s Tesla, got some great BBQ in Dallas, and stopped by Buc-Ees. The guy is super interesting, he used to work for Tesla so he knows all about the cars, and he even had a few Elon Musk stories.
I’m done traveling until January, but I have a day of games in Chicago on Dec. 7. The youngest TOK and her husband will be in town for that.
. Not that some games weren’t close. – unfortunately you use pucks not hand grenades.
Any grandkids on the way yet?
Not that I’m aware of.
Lemme guess, the NPR guy started it.
At this point I think I’m not afraid to tell such people to STFU with politics where it doesn’t belong.
He just runs his mouth about politics a lot, is 100% certain he’s right about everything but only gets his news from approved Dem sources. One of the highlights was when he said “I just don’t understand why the Democrats are the inclusive party and the Republicans are so hateful and divisive.” Another guy and I looked at each other like, “WTF?” and I explained that my parents literally called their own children Nazis.
Eventually we started attributing anything good to Trump. Like I mentioned how reasonably priced the food was in the area, and my teammate said “That’s because Trump won”.
This is where I’m at too.
I will no longer suffer those fools without laughing and pointing.
Jayapal admits she only wanted to nuke the filibuster when Democrats controlled the Senate
Filibuster, federalism, … it’s all situational not principled.
They wanted to abuse power to protect t their democracy!
Replace the word democracy with “unaccountable, unelected, criminal public sector bureaucracy hell bent on selling the American people out to the globalist movement”…
When I hear them say ‘democracy,’ I mentally spell it ‘Democratcy.’ They want unfettered and uninterrupted rule by Democrats.
There’s yet another shitbag that needs to be deported back to her own country. Fucking curry commie.
Mrs. TOK is doing a Spartan race in SC this weekend. Those monkeys are going to make things interesting.
Everything’s better with monkeys!

I mean, depending on the cost of booze drugs and hookers, many male players cannot retire at 35 and live off the earnings
Get an only fans?
Trump will by sheer force of will cure simpitude worldwide so that won’t work.
I demand a 20-hour workweek and full retirement at age 20.
Because women’s sports are just not that popular. So what?
women should fill women’s sports stadiums more?
Women are too misogynist.
There’s a lot of truth to that, ROAT.
Ice skaters and tennis players don’t seem to have this problem.
Ice skaters and tennis players don’t seem to have this problem.
Or volleyball players or gymnasts.
It seems to me that there are a few things at play.
First, the male and female versions are played very different from one another at high levels. Tennis is probably the closest, and it’s really not the same game.
Second, many of those sports have stylistic or skill based aspects that are more important than pure athleticism. Volleyball is the biggest outlier there, with tennis a distant second.
There’s also the eye candy component. Each of those sports has a female body type that you can call to mind in an instant, and each of those body types are attractive to a large segment of men. Try doing the same with basketball or rugby. It just isn’t the same.
In Europe women’s handball is also popular. In Romania handball players are payed more I believe, as they had more success and had higher audience
Trauma is seen as a universal catalyst for life failures on both the left and right: abusive and oppressive family (left coded); daycare & divorce damage (right coded).
I’m not denying that trauma is a real, consequential phenomenon, but it also serves as a god-of-the-gaps argument for personal failure or group dysfunction.
Life in the massive social panopticon is painful in new ways. “Trauma”, beyond its limited clinical significance, is a soul balm for many. It’s one of the few ways you can legitimately lift the burden of agency from yourself (and others) while saving face.
Agency is, of course, bounded by many things, including trauma, but some things that limit agency are less appealing: genes & bad habits and patterns that weren’t caused by trauma.

I would say divorce is often more financial damage than trauma for many…
I would say divorce is often more financial damage than trauma for many…
For the kids, not having regular access to a dad changes them. Calling it “trauma” seems a bit too much, but I have no problem jumping to the conclusion that children having only occasional contact with one of their parents has a psychological impact.
Can confirm and until I realized my step-dad was filling that role, I struggled a lot with my dad being absent yet only miles away.
I lived with my father after my parents divorce, but even my wife still thinks I have lingering issues with women and trust from 40 years ago.
Reddit lets me know that getting married, having kids together, rearing them together, and staying together for 22 years (cuz neither one of us is dead yet) without cheating or abuse or household chore wrangling is an anomaly, weird, and not what real people do.
Ditto, I lived with my dad (and two brothers). My wife lived with her mom (and two sisters) after her parents divorced. She still struggles with feeling that I’m emotionally distant and oblivious to social cues. I’ve gotten “better” over the years, but I sometimes wish to go back to when I could just ignore the subtext in various situations because it was so subtle to me.
I do think that I’m very slow to develop deep relationships because of that time of my life.
Reddit… an anomaly, weird, and not what real people do
A prime example of selection bias. The venn diagram of people with happy domestic relationships and people who have enough time and motivation to be regulars on Reddit is a pair of circles barely overlapping at the edge.
I used to joke that I came from a non-traditional family since my parents are still together, and I was born nine months after the wedding.
XX was born 10 months after the wedding. The ob/gyn dated her conception to the week before we got married. I said, “That’s completely impossible.” I had to spell out WHY it was impossible, but they didn’t believe me.
In local news… This is Healthy:

Nice marketing stunt Kurtz. She needs to find more people for her practice and the local news provided free advertising for her.
BTW, they appear to be implying that she is out in the world stopping crazy people from getting shot by police or getting off that ledge before they jump.
” Kurtz, who has a background in trauma informed care, said she hoped to use the tools she often utilizes in the field”
She’s out in the field!
They could be referring to the field of “Trauma Informed Care”, but that sounds like it was made up.
WTF is “trauma informed care”?
These words were chosen to create a certain image…
Shhh…
Just go scream at the Lake and feel better.
I was born nine months after the wedding – damn my parents tried for like 5 years and unfortunately ended up with me

“Studies have shown that a fully integrated diverse crew, they just perform better. Up to 15 or 20% better.”
Has anyone found one of these studies? I am suspeicious when I read “studies have shown” to prop up something. I’ve toured a few WWII subs that serve as museuem ships, they are extremely cramped and confined. I realize sub technology, especially the environmental and crew accomodations have improved tremendously from WWII era boats but I have to wonder how the Navy pulled off having men and women share the confined space in a submarine. The article stated this new sub was designed with “women in mind” but does not mention a single design change. Anyone know what was changed/improved?

The Environmental Protection Agency rule follows through on a directive from Congress included in the 2022 climate law. The new fee is intended to encourage industry to adopt best practices that reduce emissions of methane — the primary component of natural gas — and thereby avoid paying.
Methane is a climate “super pollutant” that is far more potent in the short term than carbon dioxide and is responsible for about one-third of greenhouse gas emissions. The oil and natural gas sector is the largest industrial source of methane emissions in the United States, and advocates say reduction of methane emissions is a crucial way to slow climate change.
The rule, set to be announced Tuesday at an international climate conference in Azerbaijan, comes hours after President-elect Donald Trump named former New York congressman Lee Zeldin to head the agency in Trump’s second term. If confirmed by the Senate, Zeldin is expected to move to reverse or loosen dozens of environmental regulations approved under President Joe Biden as Trump seeks to establish U.S. “energy dominance″ worldwide.
Poor Joe, his legacy isn’t going to be what he hoped it would.
Which isn’t saying much given that carbon dioxide is not a pollutant.
For Sloopy (or anyone else who wants a few NBA facts without having to sit through games)
Hopefully Derpetologist doesn’t mind me stealing his Spot the Not creation:
1) 3 weeks into the season Cleveland is still unbeaten
2) Mikal Bridges has played in every game through his first 7 NBA seasons
3) 5 players are making over $50 million this season in salary alone
4) Because of the importance of democracy, the NBA scheduled no games on election day this year
5) An American-born player leads the league in points per game this season
6) Gregg Popovich has had a losing record every season in the ’20s.
Pop is still coaching?
He needs a platform from which to bloviate.
5 – but Jokic is still putting up insane triple doubles
Pie is of course correct, as leading the NBA in scoring is a job Americans no longer do, at least since 2021.
Cleveland is 12-0,
Mikal Bridges has played in 483 straight games,
2 of the 5 $50 million men are Phoenix Suns (and they have a third at $49 million.)
For the last 3 seasons the NBA has taken election day off. This year they turned the night before into a gimmick where all 30 teams played, and the 15 games started every 15 minutes.
Yes, Gregg Popovich is still slogging along at age 75. I believe there’s only one head coach (Tom Thibodeau) even within a decade of his age.
Here’s why the democrats lost 2024, It’s the economy stupid – I had a young black customer that seemingly wanted to tell me he voted for Trump yesterday, as I never bring up politics with customers, but if they do it’s game on. He’s currently working for Tesla and learning to weld. I told him good job and keep up the welding, you’ll never starve having a valuable skill like that. I also have a black friend who conferences me in on some calls with some of his other friends while we’re all working. These were all Obama voters and some went Trump, some went Biden in 2020, but all went Trump 2024. I told my wife it was the black vote that was gonna do it for Trump in 2024.
Probably not as simple as that, but a factor for sure. Things like Cheney’s endorsing probably got a lot of Gen Xers thinking….WTF mate (since our children, especially the tail end children like mine are prime military fodder aged.) Rurals seeing their towns of 3000 population explode to 6-7000+ in a matter of years don’t help. A gaggle of women telling other women that the men in their lives are really just shitheads and worthless.
Absent their baseline 40-45% ‘we’d vote for a shit-stained napkin if it declares it is a democrat, the whole campaign turned off so many sectors of everyday folks.
Definitely lots of factors. Trump improved on every demographic except college educated single women and those over 65. There’s more diversity at your average Trump rally than virtually every place the wokists tout as diverse.
Even so, EPA estimates that the rule will result in cumulative emissions reductions of 1.2 million metric tons of methane (34 million metric tons of carbon-dioxide equivalent) through 2035. That figure is similar to clean-air gains from taking nearly 8 million gas-powered cars off the road for a year, the EPA said. Cumulative climate benefits could total as much $2 billion, the agency said.
Did you scrub the methane off those numbers after you pulled them out of your ass?
I wonder what the methane emissions from natural biological processes are? I don’t suppose the EPA mentioned that to put their claimed results into perspective, did they?
If they inform you what nature’s share of anything is, then the claims about man made damage become noise, and everyone not as dense or dumb as a rock, can see through the deception.
Supposedly 40% and we’re emitting 60%. I’m skeptical, as replacing bison farts with cow farts seems to be a net zero activity, and it would move the methane into the human category.
Vegan flatulence is a big problem for the environment.
I seem to remember there are some industrial and residential uses for methane. I would thing the best way to reduce methane generated by any industrial process is to chemically convert it to a less “dangerous” greenhouse gas after capturing, storing, and transporting it to a diverse processing infrastructure that is already in place.
Wouldn’t just using the methane for electricity turn it into the less “dangerous” CO2 and H2O?
That’s what I was getting at. If there is methane escaping your natgas well, you already have an incentive to reduce emissions. If you have a oil well, it is not always easy to store the methane, thus why they flare it off (converting it to Co2 and water).
There is a start up that converts flare gas at an oil well to electricity to make bitcoin on site. There is a trailer with self contained generator and bitcoin miner.

“Are we facing new headwinds? Absolutely. But we won’t revert back to the energy system of the 1950s. No way,” Podesta said.
“Setbacks are unavoidable, but giving up is unforgivable,” Podesta said paraphrasing a Biden speech last week. “This is not the end of our fight for a cleaner, safer planet. Facts are still facts. Science is still science. The fight is bigger than one election, one political cycle in one country. This fight is bigger, still, because we are all living through a year defined by the climate crisis in every country of the world.”
During the campaign, Trump said would pull America from the Paris Agreement, rollback parts of the IRA and increase drilling and oil production. He has called emissions regulations part of a “green new scam” and claimed, without evidence, that offshore wind turbines harm whales.
I wouldn’t mind if we reverted to the general atmosphere of optimism about technology and the future which existed in the fifties, instead of the current obsessive doom mongering.
Lord yea. How about small, easy to install nuclear power sources? We can’t even build a new traditional one in a decent timeline.

Not all meat is equal in the animal suffering it creates.
A surprisingly good predictor of the suffering footprint of meat is its color.
The lighter the meat, the worse the intensity and duration of suffering behind it.
This is true for three separate reasons…
https://x.com/Lewis_Bollard/status/1856036254930088102
Nor is all meat equal in the pleasure it produces. Pun very much intended.
BAZINGA!
I go for animals that only have one bad day their entire life.
I tried to explain that to my wife when I was considering moving back to the farm I grew up on after I retired from the Marines.
I raised my cows as pets, and they were spoiled and well treated.
When the time came, I had no problem walking him onto the truck and handing him off to the butcher.
My wife said if we were doing that, she would have to be a vegan.
That’s why I work in an office.
She would not eat your meat?
That was similar to me. We raised cows for our own consumption. Early ones had cutesy names before my dad switched to cuts of beef. Mobile butcher would shoot them in the pasture and field strip them in the back of the truck.
FBI brass ‘stunned’ and ‘shell-shocked’ over Trump reelection
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/nov/7/fbi-brass-stunned-shell-shocked-donald-trump-reele/
That brings to mind an entertaining question… could Trump start putting people like that on the no fly list?
Emulating the worst political behavior is no way to end the worst political behavior. It just clicks the ratchet up a little more.
If we just be nice to them, they will eventually be nice to us.
Nope, I hardly expect that. There are only two solutions: one) be lawful, two) kill them all.
JI:
Just think of the fun of putting Fauci, Preet, or your least favorite scumbag on the no fly list. If it was legal to do it to Tulsi, I’m sure they can find legal reasons to do it for any of them.
I hear ya, JI. On the other hand, if there’s no price to be paid for the worst political behavior, we’ll keep getting more of it. Nobody ever won by unilaterally disarming.
It’s a dilemma.
Tulsi of all people would understand that the change needed is in the law/policy, not the application.
Agree RC on the need for consequences, but playing their retarded game is hardly the right consequences.
What consequences would you suggest, and how would they be enforced?
Horrific
Ericka Lesley has been talking about the post-election racist text messages for five days now. When asked if she could read out loud the message her son received last Wednesday, it was too overwhelming.
“It really does something to you when you read it when you read it out loud as a parent because I didn’t know was going to hit like that,” said Lesley.
Lesley tells NBC4 her teenage sons were some of at least dozens of Black students she’s identified at Santa Monica High School who received the message telling them they have been “selected to pick cotton” at a “plantation.”
You can’t read the magic spell out loud, or you will be turned into a newt!

I sure hope their assessment is correct.
I’m so tired of the use of “hate” to describe someone. “He or she is full of hate” “He is driven by hate” “polices driven by hate”
I’ve met few people in my live that are driven by hate in their day to day lives. Even a person who doesn’t care about his fellow man and does terrible things everyday is not necessarily driven by hate.
A Hitler, a radical Islamist, or mass murderer could be considered driven by hate.
Does the heroin pusher, tin pot dictator, or Earth First radical hate the people they affect? I doubt that hate comes to mind. Indifference, a need for power, or some other emotions or impetus drive most people.
The few people I’ve met who let hate drive there lives, didn’t accomplish much. Neo Nazi skinhead, Antifa rioter, murderer, etc.
Stew in the hate.

Am I bad person for hoping that shitbag judge still tries to throw Trump in the clink? I couldn’t think of a single thing that’d wreck the Dem’s credibility more and it’d be quite the shitshow and probably good for some lulz.
You don’t have to wish. He will.
…And he delayed it until November 19th.
I’m hoping he does, but after the appeal hearing, it’s unlikely. I think the most likely outcome one is the prosecution imploring him to throw the case out “to ease the transfer of power,” rather than let the appeal play out and them all get eviscerated by the higher court.
That way they can claim to have risen above politics and at the same time claim they successfully prosecuted Trump. Plus not have everybody in the country find out the case was a complete sham.
Plus not have everybody in the country find out the case was a complete sham.

Tossing the case would be an open admission that the whole thing was a brazen attempt to interfere with the election. I don’t see Merchan doing that, since he was an active participant in the scam. It needs to be reviewed by another court.
Criminal regime confirmed
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Monday that President elect-Trump “and his transition team are already breaking” a law on presidential transition.
“Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law,” Warren wrote in a post on the social platform X. “I would know because I wrote the law. Incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement.”
“This is what illegal corruption looks like,” she added.
Warren was responding to a Saturday report from CNN that said a conflict of interest pledge included in the Presidential Transition Act was, in part, keeping multiple transition agreements from being submitted by the president-elect’s team to the Biden administration.
We’ll hogtie him with red tape.
Thanks for the reminder Lizzie that you are as big a scumbag as Chuckie.
How can they make a law that only applies to a single person? And especially a person who is not a government official?
I get what they’re doing. They pass a law that forces an incoming person to sign a pledge under penalty of perjury, even if they disagree with parts of the pledge. Then they try to (selectively) impeach that person for perjury if they don’t adhere to something they are forced to sign under duress.
And furthermore, how can you legislate someone signing a pledge?
Trump can simply say “I don’t work for you and you can’t force me to sign a pledge I don’t necessarily agree with. Fuck off, Pocahontas.”
Exactly. She thinks she can have a law which supersedes the Constitution. Dumbest fucking cunt in DC.
For a law professor, she’s a shit lawyer.
A President-elect is still a private citizen until inaugurated. The ethics pledge, blah blah, is attached to the acceptance of federal resources as part of the transition. Trump has very intelligently declined the “official” Swamp-based transition process, replete with sitting bureaucrats and oversight. He has no obligation to sign the pledge.
Whereas Lizzie is what legal corruption looks like.

Even Dems are saying that’s a stupid idea.
They aren’t giving up their “Elect the First Woman President” election marketing spiel for a symbolic few weeks of lame ducking.
Last night I heard some podcaster refer to the idea as “the Make-A-Wish presidency.” 😆
I’ve seen one argument for it as “But it’ll ruin all of Trump’s merch! It all says 45-47, this would make him need to change it to 45-48!”
Well, if Harris were to contract a fast-acting fatal disease, I might go in on that.
And it will remind everyone how she has failed up her entire career.
Actually… that might be good for some lulz.
Good to see you JF! I have not forgotten about our wager and commented about it recently!
Good to see you too!
That brings to mind an entertaining question… could Trump start putting people like that on the no fly list?
He could put Tulsi in charge of TSA.
I don’t really like Tulsi, but she sees eye-to-eye on Trump w/ foreign policy so I thought it’d be hilarious if she was secretary of state.
But he didn’t select a peacenik.
That’s probably honestly a better strategy, though, is to get someone who is a little bit threatening and a hard ass to counterbalance.
It would have been a great troll on Hillary if Tulsi was SOS. She might literally have a brain aneurism on live TV.
But I agree, Trump likes to have a Good Cop/Bad Cop dynamic with his SOS.
I wonder why Chuck blinked?
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has invited Senators-elect Dave McCormick, the Republican from Pennsylvania, and Ruben Gallego, the Democrat from Arizona, to the new-senator orientation this week after previously saying they would not be permitted to participate.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/schumer-invites-mccormick-gallego-new-senator-orientation
I think I read that McCormick’s lead slightly widened over the weekend.
“I would have been because we have to show that government can deliver.”
I remember when the East German engineer that helped design and build the Berlin Wall said “We had to build the wall. Too many people were leaving for the west. We had to keep them here to show them that communism works.”
There are three kinds of people, it seems. Those that see government as a necessary evil, to be kept small and watched constantly, and responsible for the basics. Then there are those that either believe government solves problems. They are idiots. and finally we have those that know government doesn’t solve shit, and actually makes it worse, but know they can make bank by pretending they think government is where you send all issues to be solved.
That first group – any of them that aren’t already here?
Trump selections: I think Trump is overcorrecting to account for the massive resistance he expects. Kind of ‘going nuclear’ on them. We will see how that pans out.
The Dems actually seem kinda defeated right now, but I expect it not to last for long.
Yeah. We have lived in this progressive, globalist world since the Bush years. I can’t see that grift going away. It will always be a fight.
Remember the Dems in Congress are only half the problem – the other half is the Repubs in Congress.
OK, and the bureaucrats.
Based on (a) his experience last time and (b) the noises the swampists are making now, I don’t think he’s over correcting. If he seriously wants meaningful deregulation and a bureaucracy that does what the President wants it to, he needs to make the rubble bounce.
Isn’t he crowdsourcing policy and potential picks on a website?
Black-pilled opinion:
He won’t. He said all this last time too.
We’ll see, of course. His picks so far seem less GOPe and more aggressive.
Remember, this is the guy who ran for, and won, the Presidency because Obama dissed him in public. Imagine how pissed he must be about how he was treated as President and then as ex-President.
Yeah I mean there’s some hope.
If he even does 1% of it, he’s better than the alternative at least.
Marchan punts?
At Trump’s request it was delayed.
He didn’t deny it…
https://nypost.com/2024/11/12/us-news/judge-delays-ruling-on-whether-to-scrap-trumps-conviction-in-hush-money-case/
Looks like Trump’s legal team requested a delay and Merchan allowed it. Based on what I’m reading, they asked for a delay to let the appeal play out.
“Breaking the precedent set by every other presidential candidate since 2010, you have rejected these resources and refused to commit to a smooth transition,” Raskin wrote.
“Your actions depart from well-established norms of the federal government and demonstrate a spectacular disregard for the successful continuation of the essential institutions of American democratic government,” he added.
Established norms. A time honored precedent covering three whole Presidential transitions. Put in place during the Obama administration, that beacon of ethics and square dealing.
2010 wasn’t even a presidential election year.
Well, since 2010 there have been two whole transitions – Obama was re-elected in 2012, after all, so no transition, really, from his first to his second term.
A solution is search of a problem.

For a law professor, she’s a shit lawyer.
She’s a better economist than she is a lawyer.
So I just heard someone mention that the Harris campaign raised 1.1 billion dollars. They also spent $1.3 billion. That’s a $200 million deficit, and not the $20 million that was earlier bandied about. $20 million was a YUGE debt. $200 million is insane. Lets see if this gets confirmed as everyone on that campaign is scurrying to hide their involvement and the calamity.
And these are the people running our government! No wonder things are going to hell in a handbasket…
They were trying to stop Hitler though. No price is too high.
Funny how thw very next day they were talking about a peaceful transfer of power. Seems odd for an existential threat, no?
I still think the funniest is $1 million for Oprah who is already ridiculously wealthy and Democrat.
Every one has their hand out. She didn’t become a billionaire by passing on free money.
I do wonder if there’s a slush fund angle to paying someone like Oprah $1M for what you’d think she’d do for free.
I’m not sure about this one.
HARPO productions definitely was paid a million bucks.
But they also put on the “town hall” that Oprah hosted.
I don’t know what that included, but they had to build a huge stage set, rent an auditorium, pay production staff, probably rent camera equipment, lighting, etc.
I could see that all adding up very quickly.
Then they may have had to pay some appearance fees.
The payment occurred after the town hall, although I suppose it could’ve been owed. Seems questionable though.
Someone needs to look into her campaign and into act blue.
Presidential campaigns are hard dollars, if I recall. So all of those billionaire donors don’t help, unless they are laundering contributions through straw donors.
A quick check says it is now $3,300 per individual.
That would mean that Harris had to have 300k donors to her campaign.
Clearly impossible
So they used accounting tricks to get around limits.
Should be an easy prosecution.
Reality prevails?
A Dutch appeals court on Tuesday overturned a landmark ruling that ordered energy company Shell to cut its carbon emissions by net 45% by 2030 compared to 2019 levels, while saying that “protection against dangerous climate change is a human right.”
The decision was a defeat for the Dutch arm of Friends of the Earth and other environmental groups, which had hailed the original 2021 ruling as a victory for the climate. Tuesday’s civil ruling can be appealed to the Dutch Supreme Court.
“This hurts,” Friends of the Earth director in the Netherlands Donald Pols said. “At the same time, we see that this case has ensured that major polluters are not immune and has further stimulated the debate about their responsibility in combating dangerous climate change. That is why we continue to tackle major polluters, such as Shell.”
Make a wish…

Talking about Michelin star gas station food….
We have a lot of good pizza around here. South Florida is home to a lot of expatriot new yorkers and from all places north.
And one of the best pizzas i ever had is from our local bowling alley. Really fantastic pizza.

Coincidentally I found a little hole in the wall pizzeria that had fantastic NY style pizza. Great specials on Tuesday with a large cheese for $12.
They went out of business.
Terrible location. Best pizza around. Not the brightest bunch. Might have been money laundering for the mob.
