TITAN SUBMARINE DECLARED LOST: Well, it’s official. Our worst fears are confirmed. Our condolences to the families of those onboard.
RELIGIOUS PEOPLE CLAIM STATE ABORTION RESTRICTIONS TRAMPLE THEIR RIGHTS: In Indiana, a group of Jewish, Muslim and other religious plaintiffs sued over the state’s near-total abortion ban. Their argument: that it violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act signed into law in 2015 by then-Gov. Mike Pence. A lower court judge sided with them in December and blocked the state’s ban from taking effect…
ALL YOUR CHILDREN ARE BELONG TO THE STATE UPDATE: Rachel Levine, the US Assistant Secretary of Health, spoke on Wednesday at an event hosted by the US Department of Education, telling educators child sex changes, or what Levine calls “gender affirming care,” is “medically necessary, safe and effective for transgender and non-binary youth.” Levine also said that trans identity is a child’s “superpower.”
FREE, PRIVATE AIR SERVICE FOR ABORTION-SEEKERS, TRANSITIONERS: Elevated Access – a nonprofit volunteer network that flies people across state lines to receive reproductive and gender-affirming care.

He can go fuck himself.
He might be able to do that, literally.
Yeah, I’m going to need to see the well-researched peer reviewed studies on that claim. She/it is just trying to justify its own perversions by bringing others into it.
Don’t worry — they’ve got those guidelines covered.
It’s hard to disagree.
Ya that was probably the best statement I have ever read on the situation.
What age were you Dr. Levine when you transitioned?
Wouldn’t “gender-affirming care” include trying to get a kid’s hormones and development on a normal tract?
If a teen boy is having gender issues, maybe a change of diet, exercise, and some hormone adjustment (testerone levels) would get the kid through puberty and into healthy male adulthood (straight or gay). This wouldn’t that be better than sexually mutilating kids and dooming them to life without ever having an orgasm?
This is generally a disease of the mind, not of the body.
AKA Cray-Cray.
The first thing we need to do is stop jabbering about how hard puberty is. Tell somebody something is going to be really difficult and confusing, etc., and you have laid the groundwork for them to have problems. “Suck it up, buttercup. Everybody above the age of 18 managed to get through it. You will, too.” Is a healthier approach, IMO.
Get a nice collection of gay and straight couples porn and tell the kid to masterbate to whichever one turns them on the most. Eventually, they will figure it out.
My Precious
The support of a male figure helps. Meaning someone obviously not into this shit. We know kids maybe don’t want to tell their parents stuff so long discussions with very trusted uncles/family friends that were male offered to step in if any of the boys had a question.
My kids dabble in stuff that is beyond me but they aren’t confused. They are teens.
Tangentially, I was telling my husband that this is a disease of affluenza. Not enough to do, not enough to occupy their minds, not enough life experience to know anybody outside their bubbles and see other, less privileged, lives. They don’t have a shred of empathy for anybody else, have been nurtured with narcissistic tendencies, and know absolutely nothing about being a productive human being.
I have a friend whose mid-20s child was discussing how traumatic his childhood was. She laughed and said, “Then you don’t know enough people, and certainly not enough people outside your little social circle.” I am actually feeling blessed that my son has recently been exposed to much less privileged kids than he, and has been comparing and contrasting his life compared to theirs and coming to the correct conclusions. He realizes there are much bigger things at play in going into adulthood than penny-ante TikTok issues.
The societal fallout from this child-trans thing is going to be epic, and I don’t mean just lawsuits.
I’m glad your son is coming to that realization.
We are going to lose an entire generation. They will be broken for the rest of their lives. The few children they have will be incredibly fucked up.
He is getting much better. I tell him the trick is to not allow real life to grind him back to bad habits and his comfort zone, because it does that to EVERYBODY.
I don’t think it will be the whole generation, mainly the children, as Mojo says, of the upper middle. Poor kids ain’t got time for this shit. Rich kids, like truly rich, will be quietly and then if needs be, loudly moved away from this shit. Immigrant kids, their parents are quickly switching parties, churches, and so on.
No, it is Little Suzie, the bankers daughter, she is going to be taking this in the shorts.
Narcissism married to nihilism – that does a lot of damage.
Hubris → Ate → Nemesis → Tisis
Pride brings madness which brings the enemy who causes destruction.
This shit goes waaaaaaaay back.
Really insightful comments. This is definitely a big part of it.
Back at the turn of the century PBS Frontline did an excellent documentary about a gonorrhea outbreak at an Atlanta area middle school. A huge percentage of the kids were infected.
The bored disaffected idle rich youth at the time were rebelling by having sex parties after school. And as you suggest, these are the kids of privilege. 2 parent homes where both parents have high paying jobs. Jobs that kept mom and dad at work until 6 or 7 at night, so the kids had 3 or 4 hours after school unsupervised.
So kids as young as 11 were having indiscriminate sex on a daily basis.
It seems almost identical to the gender identity nonsense today. A fad driven of the kids experiencing puberty.
That is a truly sick fucker.

“Keeping guns out of the hands of those who shouldn’t have them is of paramount concern,” said U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.
So you’re going after the Federal government to get guns out of the hands of the Feds?
Elective (birth-control) abortions = religious freedom? I don’t think any credible leader of any religion other than Satanism wants to be associated with that.
Moloch comin’.
Sacrifice your fetus in the fire pit.
I was thinking someone trying to revive Aztec culture maybe, but yeah — Nephilium has the only other thing I can think of.
Are these Jews also pissed off that Moses is not into their Golden Calf while they’re at it?
Don’t get them started on the prophet Elijah.
You are unfortunately incorrect:
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2016/06/21/where-major-religious-groups-stand-on-abortion/
The United Methodist Church just had a schism over this kind of stuff and lost many of their southern congregations.
Lutherans split over this, also.
I’m just baffled by the notion that there is Christian scriptural support for abortions. The Muslims (and Jews) I think had a variety of approaches but were sometimes(?) generally(?) OK with very early abortions.
Apparently Orthodox Jews are okay with abortions necessary to save the life of the mother at any point in pregnancy. Which is an understandable, though terrible, choice.
As far as I know, no state has outlawed those.
The theory is that if you have to make a decision between the two, choose the mother. But, life is rarely that cut and dried.
Jewish law also draws a sharp distinction between causing miscarriages and murder. See Numbers for details.
The typical RFRA, as I recall, says the state can’t force you to do something against your religion. I don’t think they cover prohibiting you from doing something. It’s not like any religion requires abortions, in any event. The judge was very likely looking for any pretext to block the law.
Note: I don’t have a clue what the actual law says. There are definitely some out there that I think are too strict, but that’s on policy grounds, not religious or other principled grounds.
Somewhere in there it stops the government from prohibiting well established religious practices (like consuming peyote in ceremonies). But it doesn’t stop the government from banning genital mutilation which is well established in many Muslim cultures.
Applying RFRA to abortion is horseshit.
Also, it isn’t like someone who is a pracising Aztec Sun God worshiper is allowed to pull out the chok mul and start ripping hearts out just because the RFRA.
There are limits.
“It’s not like any religion requires abortions, in any event.”
Which is the point that everyone in the article seems to be missing.
I look forward to courts striking down ever law that prohibits what my religion allows.
Millions of gun owners to change their names to ‘Hunter Biden’ as a workaround.

I want Dr. Fauci to be receiving services (with no protection) from STEVE SMITH, and that’s about it.
I wouldn’t be too upset with him receiving federal services in a nice quarantined cell in a federal penitentiary.
Masking mandatory for him of course. We can staple it on to be sure it doesn’t slip below his nose.
I appreciate Rand going after that little fucking troll. Between fucking up the HIV response and torturing beagle puppies, Fauci had already earned his place in hell*
*I’m agnostic, but there is a decent cadre of “people” who make me want to believe in hell. Funnily enough, the vast majority have some government connection.
Sorry to go OT so soon, but has anyone else noticed the resemblance between Dr. Peter Hotez and the therapist who hypothesizes the main character Peter in Office Space?
Hotez should spend more time working on his TPS reports and less time being a lying prick on Twitter.
Interesting theory you’ve go there
Someone should test the significance of this.
I love how he takes to the public square to call Kennedy a conspiracy theorist but when challenged to open debate he beats a hasty retreat to the ivy tower with “[sniff] academics don’t debate.”
Yep, the whole “we don’t debate” then use tweet replies/likes as fodder in his eventual debate (which I believe he will)
Has he locked replies like a true scientist?
I gotta admit, as someone who has occasionally debated conspiracy theorists, I have a little bit of sympathy with Hotez’s general point about not arguing with them (not that I agree with Hotez). That said, I don’t think the argument about “giving them credibility” is valid. Furthermore, given how big Rogan’s audience is, Hotez needs to get in the mindset of “OK, I won’t convince Kennedy and I may not convince Rogan, but there’s probably a lot of people on the fence that I might persuade.”* And, as my wife pointed out to me, to get $2m for a charity, just go on the damn show.
*Again, I’m not picking sides here, just that debating conspiracy theorists – if you’re trying to convince the hard-core believers, is a waste of time.
But you risk getting your ass thoroughly kicked by a crazed conspiracy theorist, which then dries up your current grift.
Unfortunately, this dude was at ground zero of the big lie about covid.
And it would be easy to avoid the flat earth stuff. Just rule out other vaccines and the Autism stuff and just talk about covid.
It would be much better for public information that way anyway.
But since he was involved in the Wuhan covid project and was one of the original conspirators with Faucci to declare that The Science says that covid did not come from a lab leak. He was overtly involved in the disinformation campaign from day 1, so all claims of “not platforming conspiracy theorists” are disingenuous. Dude is misinformation central.
As someone who grew up in an acadmic family, that is pretty much all they do. Debating minutia is the name of the game.
But not with the hoi-polloi in the agora.
True, unless they are in a bar. “I can explain Planks constant, or show you Planks constant erection…”
To be fair, libertarians are good for that too.
Reading some of his more recent tweets, someone took over. It is no longer him. Too snarky and very on the offensive.
Funny what competence and not just trying to milk the taxpayer and spread the Congressional trough leavings around will do….
I read once that Musk’s long term strategy is usually to offer something that’s expensive and exclusive, work out the bugs, and then offer it at a lower price to everyone. That’s what he’s doing with Tesla, with space travel, and it sounds like the same thing with satellites.
At a startup I worked for the VP of marketing cited Tesla as the model for our strategy. Go for the high end first. Work closely with customers who are completely bought in and don’t mind or even enjoy being on the bleeding edge (sorry for the cliche) to improve your product. Work out the bugs, add features and move into the lower end of the market.
So, you guys were the original “period panties” company?
Besides Envy, Marxism is all about projection. It sets up a system (“Only temporary until paradise! Trust us!”) where those who claw their way to the top proceed to amass more by exploiting and robbing everyone around them., after all. (“We learned it by watching you!“)

When a vindictive parent comes after those pieces of shit because they facilitated their child’s sterilization, I will vote to acquit.
They are treading a fine line with aiding abetting the commission of a crime, there. Depending on how the state law is written, of course. Some of them refer to procuring or aiding in getting an abortion as part of the offense.
Thanks for the space news! Don’t know how I missed Virgin Orbit going bust
Happens to the best of us, its common, everyone eventually deals with it
But Virgin thought they could stay intact even if costs rose and they took it up the ass.
Once you’re in the first hole, it’s just a small transfer to the next one.
Everyone in the launch business is in danger from SpaceX. If Starship lives up to the hype, they will be able to launch 100+ tons to any orbit for single digit millions. They will likely have some orbital plane leeway between deployments as well.
By providing the 2 orders of magnitude reduction in launch costs he was aiming for, Musk is on the edge of changing commercial space use completely. There will be tons of room for everyone except launchers. Unless BO gets a fully reusable rocket out the door soon, I don’t see anyone competing without a straight government handout.
Yup
This is Boeing freaking out and calling in their chits.
Boeing are the all-time Champs.
They bid almost double the spaceX bid for commercial crew, and then went back and asked for another 300+ billion to “epedite” things and get their capsule ready faster. NaSA justified paying them twice as much because they had the experience and would be able to deliver faster, safer and more reliably.
Asaaand….
SpaceX has already delivered the entire launch contract, plus private space missions…. while our extra money with Boeing has yet to deliver a single astronaut to space, and Boeing has reportedly long since pissed through their billions and are operating the commercial crew program at a loss…. so they are coming to congress looking for guaranteed cash.
I am sure their 30 year deal for SLS contracts more than makes up for it. (Nice job, Nelson)
I would choose the instant crush over asphyxiation even if it’s just going to sleep permanently.

And it indeed shoved the whole thing into the helmet. Grotesque.
My new computer is supposed to arrive tomorrow, so maybe I can have a normal Zoom experience (though I think “normal” and “Zoom” are oxymorons)
Speaking of my new computer, Dell has a crazy order confirmation process that set off all my “SCAM!” senses. Took me some digging to figure out that the email from an Indian lady with an 866 number was actually legit.
Congrats on the new computer.
Thanks for the info about the Dell process. Good to know.
You had to call somebody to confirm the order?
Yes – I had to contact the “fraud department”. You can see why my spidey senses were tingling.
It was legit, though. It’s just an absolutely terrible process that has scam written all over it.
When I worked UPS eons ago, Dell orders and the shipments were mostly fraudulent or went to fake addresses. Never knew what the base scam was that allowed that.
Yeah, that’s weird. I’ve had to verify orders via email, but never a phone call like that.
Wait… was the lady calling from Dell to talk about setting me up on PornHub actually legit?
You’d think they lay out that process right there on their order page “You will receive an email from @dell.com for further instructions”
I think only certain orders are flagged. Could be the address, the payment method, the fact that I used the guest checkout. Who knows?
Geez, those are definitely some burning port-a-potty lynx, Tonio, Except for the Space Roundup, that’s pretty cool.
Levine also said that trans identity is a child’s “superpower.”
DIAF, freak.
Oh, PPP had nothing whatsoever to do with Hunter’s business dealings… nope, nothing at all. And the FBI and DOJ certainly haven’t known and been covering it up.
(And nothing else will fucking happen to these corrupt slimeballs… sigh).
There is no proof the big guy really was there.
But point taken of course.
Hunter’s angle was for the official to call him that night, and he states unequivocally his father would still be in the room if I read that right. So, we don’t know if Hunter was bullshitting, but it’s the sort of thing that should have been investigated but FBI agents were told explicitly not to look into.
Tucker put it well the other day in explaining that this is all over.
“the Justice Department just baptized Hunter Biden—a lifetime of sins, washed away in an instant. It was a secular miracle.”
We can all stop speculating. They have been investigation-proofed

I figured that out about marxism by reading the communist manifesto when I was a high school teenager. It was clear that they didn’t understand much, but wow, did they understand the power of envy. That came shining through.
The manifesto actually contradicted Das Kapital (and Hegel) – the dialetical synthesis can never be predicted or controlled. When you abandon your intellectual integrity that quickly, it shows you never had much to begin with.
NH State Rep. Corcoran in the news
Not long ago, state Rep. Travis Corcoran (R-Weare) wanted everyone to drop the “N-bomb.”
Now he just wants to drop the subject.
Corcoran, a self-styled intellectual rebel and part-time sci-fi writer (“a band of malcontents, dreamers, and libertarian radicals bolted privately-developed antigravity drives onto rusty seagoing cargo ships…”) took to Twitter earlier this year to urge everyone who follows him use the N-word as a protest against woke culture.
“We must all say or type the word’ n*gger’ in a public place, as a declaration that the progs can’t control our thoughts or our behaviors — EVEN IF WE DISLIKE THE WORD,” Corcoran wrote on his personal @MorlockP Twitter account. “It’s the ‘small pinch of incense’ test, in reverse. They demand ritual obedience. Disobey.”
So the reporter is just being a nagger about it?
One of the better South Park episodes.
Very niggardly about the whole thing.

In terms of foreign policy, Biden is by far the worst President ever. After a big effort at rapproachment with China by the Administration, Joe blew it up because he’s an angry old asshole.
https://rumble.com/v2vrj9k-biden-blows-up-china-rapprochement-calls-xi-jinping-a-dictator.html
Xi is a dictator so that is the truth but there are just sometimes you just need to keep your mouth shut.
I think he just forgot he sent Blinkin there to suck Xi dick just a day prior.
Joe didn’t send Blinken, whoever is actually in charge sent Blinken.
Joe doesn’t even know who Blinken or Xi are.
“A. Blinken? He was a great president.” – Joe Biden, probably
Biden has always had diarrhea of the mouth. The firing of the Ukraine prosecutor is a great example. He flat out said exactly what he did.
Yet, somehow it’s Trump who got impeached for this.
Biden is truly a dumbass with dictatorial aspirations of his own.
Just foreign policy?
There are a few things I learned in college many years ago that have stuck with me, and ring true even more today.
In an ethics class, I learned about always avoiding the “appearance of impropriety”. Specifically, if something “looks bad” then don’t do it, because the results are often just as bad had you done the bad thing. That has gone completely out the window. We have a political class where so much looks terrible, but they don’t give a shit because the true believers in their party will always give them a pass.
In my history of organized crime class, I learned that “where there’s money there’s crime.” The example give at the time was Las Vegas. Today you can bet your life people made themselves rich off covid, and they are making themselves unbelievably rich from Ukraine money.
We get that message all the time our company training sessions. Of course the difference is, if we violate it there are consequences.
Not every dead person is a victim. Even people dead in a tragedy.
Didn’t know that San Diego had their own Jussie Smollett.
Claims he was set on fire for being gay, turns out it was retaliation by the pregnant woman he was whomping on earlier. CCTV caught that part…whoopsie!

I just received a weather warning on my phone for potential baseball-sized hail.
Yikes. What city?

Be safe, you and other Glibs in the affected area.

Denver. Looks like a box bordered by I-70, Morrison, Aurora, and the outer edges of Littleton; not Arvada. It’s really dark and all of the street lights are on.
I clearly don’t have command of the ‘reply’ button. Red Rocks got pounded last night, sending people to the hospital…

It was really dark here for awhile, but no hail yet. Your car inside?
Except for the one my wife is out tooling around in. Here’s an update, with a picture of some pretty scary-looking hail stones…
https://www.9news.com/article/weather/severe-weather/severe-thunderstorm-thursday-colorado/73-590e9b0a-0659-49d4-8d26-9f8ea0e5a869
Yeah, those hailstones look pretty solid.
Holy shit!
It’s stopping here. Streets are flooding, but it looks like we’ll be back to normal soon
So, are you saying No Hail, no bop?
I just took a look at the radar. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that color.
When you start getting into the reds/purples it should remind people that the weather will leave you red and purple.
Where are you?
I’d say he was west of Elk City in Oklahoma based on current weather.
Although south of Denver around Centennial is about to get a visit from by WIND SMITH.
I’m in CA. I’m just checking the weather based on BP’s report.
It’s pretty unusual for hail that size to be a single solid chunk of ice. It’s usually smaller hailstones that are stuck together (some). Still very unpleasant, but not as bad as the mental image that the “baseball-sized hail” term gives you.
Yowza. Be safe.

Just like clockwork, expect the press to parrot the same line about what Biden “meant” when he said that.
Oh he trotted out his ‘own’ line this time
“I expect to be meeting with President Xi sometime in the future, the near term, and I don’t think it’s had any real consequence,”
Did they ever tell us what “covfefe” meant?
Levine also said that trans identity is a child’s “superpower.”
Every one of the people pushing this grotesque lie should be hanging from a lamppost, with their rotting carcasses left for the carrion birds and anything else capable of getting to them.

It turned Levine into a high powered government official….
Just sayin.
Wants vs. needs in your budget — how to tell the difference

Denver. Looks like a box bordered by I-70, Morrison, Aurora, and the outer edges of Littleton; not Arvada. It’s really dark and all of the street lights are on.
Long long time ago I was in Denver for one of those summer storms. No hail (where we were) but the rain came so hard and fast you couldn’t see fifty yards. We went by a grocery store parking lot which was down in a bit of a depression, and a manhole-sized geyser of water was coming up out of a storm drain through a foot or so of standing water. Very impressive.

“”Part Of The Coverup”: Gaetz Rips Durham For Failing To Investigate “Core” Of Russiagate”
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/part-coverup-gaetz-rips-durham-failing-investigate-core-russiagate
Gaetz looks like the kind of guy who’d try to give you a swirlie and then bang your girlfriend but I’m beginning to like him, in some areas anyway.
I had not heard of the Mueller team wiping their phones.
Comparing Durham to the Washington Generals was pretty apt.
There’s so much evidence to go after these people…and I keep seeing people claim otherwise. Just like with Hillary.
No reasonable prosecutor something something
I can absolutely see Weissman doing that. That guy is as dirty as they come.
Your girlfriend likes him in some areas too.
It’d be quite the honor but I suspect she’d reek of Drakkar Noir afterward so it’s a no go.
And that failure to investigate is why many of us deem it to be a coverup.
When you have written proof that the president of the United States and the director of the FBI conspired to frame someone for a crime, you kinda have to follow that lead. Leaving that layup out means you were not looking to gather any scalps.
With the new Starshield program, SpaceX is on the verge of transforming its dominance into a monopoly. Governments and businesses must act now to counter any attempts to monopolize the space industry in order to preserve consumer choice and to ensure national policy remains in the hands of elected governments.
“I didn’t hear anybody complaining when I brought cheap and freely available kerosene to market for people to light their homes with.” -john D Rockefeller
You know, if you’re the only one offering a service, that doesn’t mean you are a monopolist for FTC purposes. You have to do illegal shit to obtain/maintain your monopoly.
Of course, the process is the punishment, and we sure seem to be seeing a “whole of government” attack on Musk since he cracked their wall of censorship.
Monopoly? What about NASA and Boeing?
Ok, they can’t build crewed spaceships but they intend to one day and that has to count for something.
Of course, the process is the punishment, and we sure seem to be seeing a “whole of government” attack on Musk since he cracked their wall of censorship.
“you got to get your mind right, son.”
I disagree. My worst fear was that they would be found alive, a rescue would be attempted that killed a bunch of more people, and then they died anyway.
My expectation was that they were dead days ago.
If they had to die in this it was the least bad outcome. They were gone in the blink of an eye, probably with no realization that there was any kind of problem.
I really don’t care. It was a choice. It went badly. Nobody made them do it.
Meanwhile Ukraine and Yemen are still going on.

Welcome back
RT sure has a lot of articles debating nuclear war lately. One might think the Kremlin was prepping the propaganda space.

“ The war in Ukraine has become protracted. As far as we can tell from the actions of the Russian leadership, it expects to achieve strategic success by relying on Russian resources, which are many times greater than those in Ukraine. It also relies on the fact that Moscow has much more at stake in this war than the West. This calculation is probably correct, but it should be taken into account that the opponent assesses Russia’s chances differently than we do and may take steps which could lead to a direct armed clash between Russia and the US/NATO.
We must be prepared for such a development. To avoid a general catastrophe, it is necessary to put fear of armageddon back into politics and the public consciousness.
In the nuclear age, it is the only guarantee of preserving humanity.”
It’s just a warning against the NATO leaders letting their actions follow their verbal insanity and getting directly involved. I have little doubt that would actually result in nukes being used.
I don’t think anyone in NATO is listening
For some reason that comment came to me in the voice of Henry the Red from Army of Darkness

Well hello mr fancypants…
Biden and his tranny army are apeshit nuts. Don’t discount anything.

The technology of nuclear destruction has come a long way in the past sixty years. We have cleaner, more selective weapons now. I’m not saying we wouldn’t get our hair mussed…
*starts shopping for mineshafts*
That can be taken so many ways…
There’s a reason why one of things I’m going to buy when I win the lottery is the Titan missile setup outside of Tucson.
No surprise. We did hear it.

We keep using the language of “Biden did x” or “Biden wants to be”…
Except it is clear that Biden isn’t in charge of anything.
As always, the wife is my “everyman” barometer. She has a case of TDS that would make the staff at Reason get a stiffie. She hates that guy with an irrational passion.
And she is finally out of the closet on Biden. Out of the blue she mentioned that it is scary… he can’t get a sentence out and he is always falling. She had a whole montage in her mind of him being a senile and doddering old man.
She said she would vote for him against Trump, but not anyone else. She just hates Trump that much, she said.
Which means that the networks are abandoning Joe a bit, since she gets her news almost entirely from NBC and her girlfriends.
I predicted Joe would be replaced after 2 years so they could run an incumbent. It was clear there was a faction in the party that wanted to replace him after the primaries in the convention.
Somewhere, I smell Newsome behind some of this. A perfect party tool, he would be an establishment favorite. DiSantis seems to think this move may be afoot, based on his recent actions.
