Brian Harman ran away with the British Open. Fred McGriff and Scott Rosen were inducted into the Baseball Hall Of Fame. The trade deadline is rapidly approaching and the world is anxious about Ohtani’s future. And Max Versatppen annihilated the field in Hungary, and then Lando Norris annihilated his trophy. And that’s it for sports.
Spain takes a hard turn to the right. But you would never know it reading the CNN headline. Now the coalition building begins to see who will actually control the nation’s government.
Bonus CNN link. Why did they waste their time at a border crossing? Just get your water wings and cross wherever you want. There’s less scrutiny for illegals than at actual points of entry.
Imbecile
LOL, dude shut the fuck up. Nobody gives a shit when we have an economy that’s tanking, a border the WH doesn’t seem to want to protect, and what would appear to be a two-tiered justice system.
Why not just keep him in the basement again? I still don’t think he will make it to the election. But I’m not sure if its because he’s mentally and physically unfit or if its because the corruption will finally catch up to him.
And speaking of that…will anything happen this time? Based on the fact that none of the three websites I used above mentioned this any all on their front page, I am skeptical.
Why don’t they just leave him there? There’s no value in his return.
Seems legit. You know, since they’ve been right about so many things to this point. ::eyeroll::
Worthless
Why can’t this idiot just go away? She’s contributed nothing of value to anybody’s life (except the people running her grift).
What a lovely story. Seriously. This is great stuff.
The ones who started it all. So much spirit. So much awesomeness. And here’s the best of the best. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this heat dome Monday, dear friends.
A first for Spain. Kick those commies out.
The NPR story this morning was all about how the Socialists won, and the “far right” underperformed.
That’s gonna be the narrative:
“The far right didn’t do as well as they should have, so this is a repudiation of their candidates. Yay socialism!”
Socialism is always just about to bring utopia until the kulaks and wreckers stop paradise from materializing by calling out the mountain of dead bodies and the billions of people dragged down to live in below mediocracy levels of government enforced serfdom….
Erzählung Macht Frei
A theory: countries that speak languages that are gendered (Spanish, Italian(?), French(?)) are more likely to not be on board with Western English speaking countries’ obsession with gender bending.
Is finding stereotypes to be “interviewed” a business?
What the fuck is “pre-retirement” for a civil service worker? I can only assume that’s the 8-10 years where they’re on the payroll but do nothing aside from show up to punch the clock each day.
You were right about the definition except for the time span. It’s not 8-10 years. With these sorts it is 30-40 years.
You can’t just expect people to jump into retirement! They need training and counselling, and time to figure out how they’re going to spend their… time.
I have my fingers crossed that the tide is turning on the multiple hateful, destructive plots of the Left to burn it all down. 🤞🏻
OTOH I am afraid that Joe or another Obama acolyte will “win” next year and then it’s full-steam ahead. We can watch from the comfort of our back-alley sofas while Europe wakes up one country at a time.
Yep.
Exact image I had in mind, except the house is boarded up and/or falling apart and they’re sitting in front of a barrel with a fire burning inside.
Are you assuming that if they somehow don’t manage to “fortify” the 2024 election in their favor that they suddenly now will abandon their agenda, if even just for a bit of time? I assume that they will double down on undermining any government direction that isn’t what they want. And I would not be surprised we end up with another US president killed by the unelected and unaccountable bureaucratic machine.
Happy Monday Glibronis!
Both those with and without a bonus hole.
It would be amusing to watch him get impeached and half the country doesn’t even know it happened.
Because I think at this point even the Stupid Party isn’t going to wait for media approval before getting the ball rolling.
If it even comes up for a vote half the Republicans will vote against it.
Ugh they can’t be THAT stupid.
“LOL, dude shut the fuck up. Nobody gives a shit when we have an economy that’s tanking, a border the WH doesn’t seem to want to protect, and what would appear to be a two-tiered justice system.”
The people that do shit like this and this are pissed serfs do not want to buckle down to their racket.
“Lies, damn lies and statistics”!
“And speaking of that…will anything happen this time? Based on the fact that none of the three websites I used above mentioned this any all on their front page, I am skeptical.”
The weaponized Obama admin created unelected and unaccountable bureaucracy will never allow anything to come in the way of their agenda. Especially not anything the serf class wants that would conflict with their globalist sellout agenda.
“Why can’t this idiot just go away? She’s contributed nothing of value to anybody’s life (except the people running her grift).”
Wait, was the assumption that this was anything other than a shell game to help the people running the grift steal even more from the productive?
You can get in early on some beach front property. I know a local guy…
“Just sayin”
“What a lovely story. Seriously. This is great stuff.”
I totally disagree. Did anyone give the dude that is involved a mental test? Cause I am going to bet that it this is a duded she is marrying, the guy either suffers from JoeBidenitis and is not playing with a full deck, or the guy is into torturing himself before he goes to the grave..
Silver lining meets cloud.
This is a more Alex type romance
I have no problem with romance… Especially since it can lead to fun. My problem is with people that, like me, try marriage, I did for 23 years, and fail, but then keep repeating that same pattern.
NPR mentioned this in two different stories this morning so it’s probably going to be everywhere: a pregnant “asylum seeker” somehow “got caught in” barbed wire along the Rio Grande and miscarried. Check-MATE
nazis fascistsanti-choice republicans!All the more reason to dis-incentivize invasion.
End all programs that make it appealing to cross the border. Shoot to kill.
It surprises me how any people seem to lack the basic understanding that you get more of any behavior your reward or fail to punish when necessary.
I remember some NGO suing the FedGov years ago because they failed to keep a watering station full on a trail that illegals were using. An illegal ended up dying because the watering station was dry.
I thought it was crazy to expect the FedGov to be responsible. And why was there even a watering station out there. Turns out that there were quite a few that had been installed out in the desert. The idea was that the illegals were gonna illegal, and why put them at risk of dying?
They’re going to need electrolytes, make sure the stations only provide salt water.
Even Eric Adams knows that “sanctuary” for all these grifters is a delusional fantasy. The double-talk from state and local Dems on this issue is getting amusing.
My friend who works in border patrol said they find a dead body every day. He offered to show me pictures, but I declined. It’s 120 degrees. People shouldn’t be out there.
Abbot set a trap for her with the obvious barrier being obvious.
“Why don’t they just leave him there? There’s no value in his return.”
Based on past performance by this administration and the things that drive their prioritization matrix, does anyone not believe we will end up with a horribly dumb trade agreement so these asshats can grand stand? See Britany Greiner.
Maybe he’ll be interrogated by the same team that did Otto Warmbier?
One could only hope so..

What is the official glibertarian position on tank top / sleeveless hoodies?
Depends on BMI?
For men? They’re out. This isn’t the 80s.
For women? Depends on how they’re shaped.
For women, it seems like a lesbian look to me.
*not tank tops, I meant sleeveless hoodie
I’ve seen a bunch of NFL players in them.
And they have really high BMI’s!
Sleeves are a vital garment component and should never be left off.
Goes without saying: corollary to the Gloves Necessity Postulate

Or, and hear me out on this, they just give fans of the series the ending they expect. And if they don’t want to “alienate” people then create an entirely new IP.

They are done making a mess of the Witcher series and have moved on to ruining other beloved stories?
This is the third… (fourth?) attempt at a Narnia franchise, isn’t it? I don’t have high hopes for it.
On the one hand, they really want to make money. OTOH, they REALLY hate the fans of the series.
/looks at all the terrible comic, sci-fi, fantasy adaptations.
It’s almost like when you hate the fans, you will never understand what they like about the franchise you’re trying to adapt. Or you don’t care and are just trying to tear it down.
And without all that Jesusy mumbojumbo.
How many “fans of other faiths” actually exist? What fraction of the books have been sold in minority-Christian countries?
Fuck. All the way. Off.

Who is this audience they think they have that wants this? Cause what I feel is that they want to force people to want/like the shit they peddle when they say it resonates, even though most of us see this shit as nothing but lazy and dumb shit.

Despite this unprecedented heat wave, the “good news,” Inslee said on “This Week,” is “we can do this. We’re electrifying our transportation fleet. We’re electrifying our homes.”
Shut up, you hysterical retard.

Wait, all homes in Washington weren’t already electrified?
What kind of third-world backwater shithole is he running?
It’s not quite a backwater shithole yet, but he’s working hard to make it into one. And much of the population West of the Cascade mountains is happy to help him do it.
Everything’s gonna be put on electricity and run on a paying basis. Out with the old spiritual mumbo jumbo, the superstitions, and the backward ways. We’re gonna see a brave new world where they run everybody a wire and hook us all up to a grid. Yes, sir, a veritable age of reason. Like the one they had in France. Not a moment too soon.

Typical Atlantic approach to a pertinent question. Of course, if you eliminated legacy admission to those schools, you do have to wonder how that might shake out downstream a few years.
The crux is this though – we humans are stuck having an elite. We could have libertopia and we’d still have a fucking elite. Not because they generate themselves, but because the masses demand it. This is where we Glib types are so out of touch with the rest of humanity.
I mean, we have an elite here. Those that have the Mark of the Glib taintooed on them (and can edit/post images in comments).
Now that’s how you shit post and make sure the commons know their place…
Those who organize, control the organization.
Mine says 667
Missed it by “that much.”
taintooed
That must make it awkward to surreptitiously flash your mark to the other Gliberati.
Even the out of touch Glibs have an inner party.
I’d like some elites that don’t suck, thank you very much.
Now THAT is the real point.
All the flapdoodle in that article ignores the fact that these schools are looking for “affirmative action” workarounds above all other considerations right now. There is not a large supply of rich black kids that usually fill those slots so now we see them ditching testing standards. What could possibly go wrong.
And yup, there will always be elites. What’s the point of attending such a place otherwise? And what’s the difference if it’s a legacy elite or a newly minted elite from the ghetto or the sticks?
Ah, you see, that’s getting to the nub – the point of an elite education is to create a better elite. The problem is the institutions of elite education have abandoned that role. But they can still hand out the credentials.
It will kill them. Alumni not paying into endowments means that down the road those low-income kids the author wants to turn into elites won’t accept because there’s no more grants or scholarships.

Spain takes a hard turn to the right.
Muh-fascisms! Never mind that fascism is a collectivist ideology that is in no way conservative or right-wing. And I’d wager that “hard right” is Spain is merely “slightly less left” on a few cultural issues and immigration.
Ha – those right-wingers in Spain think they know what a woman is.
OK, legit LOL.
It’s a right-wing collectivist ideology. Just like the theocracies in some Muslim countries are right-wing. They are just enforcing different cultures.
?
What criteria do you use for your right-left axis?
For me, big government / collectivism on the left and small government / individualism on the right.
For progressives, anyone even one skosh to the right of Karl Marx’s cultism’s axis is a right wing monster.

Someone needs to write an article diving into recorder conspiracies.
Take on Big Woodwind at your own peril.
That’s all I can say without putting my family’s safety at risk.
Man, that really blows.
I somehow managed to make it through my schooling without ever learning how to play the recorder. My younger sister had to learn it, but I never did. We were never taught how to play any instruments in school.
Recorder was standard in my day, for a couple months or so. I guess to suss out anyone interested in real musical instruments.
I have a buddy who writes recorder symphonies. Yeah, he’s an oddball.
I used to be able to play jingle bells.
At the vet with our rapidly dying 18 year old Corgi. Ms. Prole and I are having a cryfest, waiting for them to take our derg and “put him to sleep.”
A very soft voiced person of indeterminate gender is asking us now “if it is his time.”
Otherkins aside I’m sorry for your loss. Having gone through this with my pup a few years back and my wife’s cat this fall I know that’s one shitty day. My pup should have plenty of years left but she’s going prematurely blind (she’s not quite 8) so everyday im reminded that the worst part of dog ownership is that last trip to the vet.
*current pup
I would recommend Lap of Love. We used them and it was immensely better than any end of life trip to the vet I took previously.
https://www.lapoflove.com/
I’m sorry, prole.
Sorry about the doggo – never easy to say goodbye.
Deepest sympathy. That last drive to the vet is the worst. The only time I cry unreservedly.
Remember the lifetime of love. And the zoomies.
The last dog (a mastiff) they had me sit with her head in my lap while they gave her the shots. Fucking dusty in here.
Watching the light go out of my avatar’s eyes was the deepest grief I’ve ever experienced.
I cried like a little girl.
Allow me to add to the chorus of “oh shit, this is the part I hate the most” – with a moistened eye.
Sorry 🙁
Sorry. I think we’ve all been there, and it’s never easy.
Aw 🙁
I am so sorry Prole. It always sucks, and it is the right thing to do.
I’m sorry Pro. I just went through it last week and there is nothing you can do but feel the loss for a while.
Sorry, man. That’s tough.
Rocket the cat buried his face in the crook of my elbow while pressing up against my body when they put the solution into his IV.
I felt him go but I just couldn’t move. The vet assistant said he’s gone. I replied “I know” and held him for another minute.
Dogs and cats do so much for us. All we can do is ease the pain for them.
Sorry
In my adult life, we’ve had two cocker spaniels and five shelties come into our lives and then pass on. The last time was three years ago. It still affects me.
And it was definitely in my mind when we got two new shelties after the last one passed. “You know you’ll just have to go through this all over again in 12 years or so”
And yet, here we are doing it again. I love my shelties.
Imagine siding with this guy over RFK Jr.
My god, what a pussy.
In one of the weird Facebook zombie emails I get, an old high school friend was thinking about starting to wear a mask again, because they had stopped reporting the death rate from Covid. All I could think of was “of course they did, no one is dying!” But, I somehow doubt that will change any minds of the facebookers.
Don’t get between a man and their cult’s apocalyptic circle jerk material….
I still occasionally see people wear face diapers.
The guy I saw this weekend was wearing it inside under his chin. People really are that redacted.
There are a lot of East Asians around here, so I see it all the time.
A lot of school-aged people of all subcultures are still wearing them, too.
Keep up with your boosters and find a pink N-95 or KN-95 if you can
No.
But I do have a cold of sorts right now. The lady friend had bad last week so I spent all week boosting my vitamin intake and am maintaining that now. She is still having major coughing fits but my symptoms are relatively mild.
The record-high temperatures recorded around the world show “the climate change bomb has gone off”
Then it’s too late.
and Americans must push “further and faster” for solutions —
We must be tyrannized for Gaia.
including voting against “climate deniers” like former President Donald Trump — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said Sunday.
Idk anyone that denies the existence of climate.
“What the scientific community is telling us now is that the Earth is screaming at us,” Inslee said.
You dishonest climate cuntes can fuck off.
it is rather hot don;t know about record high as one cannot really trust the official data anymore
I don’t trust anyone that promotes “global average temperature” as I am pretty sure there are far too many variables to discern such a thing.
^^^THIS^^^
WTF is the ideal global average temperature anyway?
This is not science: it is religion. A fucking cult.
Hell, even the national average temp, let alone global. It’s fucking meaningless.

The journal “Lancet” published the chart on left with unequal Y-Axis to downplay fact that cold causes 10X more deaths than heat in Europe. Björn Lomborg corrected this with chart on right.
This is disgraceful for a supposedly scientific journal.

That’s the scientific process for you now that the politicians have convinced people that the only studies that are immaculate are those paid for by government – private industry, but especially fossil fuel, always have a nefarious purpose for funding studies – cause government means well…
They have an agenda, and they need to get that agenda done.

Lol, and they haven’t even bothered correcting it.
If they corrected it they would not be able to scare people and the premise of the article falls apart….
It’s “honest” – just deceptive. Likely meant for MSM consumption.
Isn’t the X-axis the left-right one, and Y-axis the up-down one? I believe it is.

Just imagine the fun to be had if the Dodderer-in-Chief were subject to a ritual akin to Prime Minister’s Questions.
There have been damn few presidents who could handle that, Biden is in the majority.
This actually seems plausible.
Trump’s biggest failure was not to realize how inept and evil the unelected and unaccountable bureaucratic abomination Obama weaponized during his administration was. He kept thinking they would actually play by the rules instead of realizing they saw him as an existential threat to the corrupt and evil agendas Obama and his people tasked them with.
I still worry tat he has not learned that lesson. The people making up crimes to accuse him off seem to think he has however, as their priority seems to make sure he can’t run.
Obama is not the source of all evil in govt. The fucking bureaucracy doesn’t care who is president, because they’ll be there long after he’s gone. They only care that no one disturbs them from quietly building their little empires.
Obama turned it inwards in new ways.
I worked in there before, during and after his whole admin and I can tell you how little effect he had.
“Obama is not the source of all evil in govt.”
That is correct. But no administration did more to corrupt that entity into what it is today.
The machine needed to get rid of Trump, at any cost, to protect the criminality of the Obama admin years. That’s still the fight they are fighting.
This is a good thing to remember for anyone considering voting for that guy.
It’s also good to remember Hillary would have been way worse.
Yes, it wrecked the country but his presidency?! The vast majority of Americans were fully on-board with the lockdowns.
That is NOT what cost him the next election.
The states initiated and enforced the lockdowns.
Hm. All of them? At once?
Surely there was some “nudging” from Donald?
Specifically from Deborah Birx. Trump kept her in power. And he also harshly criticized some governors who re-opened too early.

There are daily gaffes and missteps. But I suppose the msm doesn’t cover it.
because the corruption will finally catch up to him.
This only happens if he loses favor with the party. Then they will find another puppet.
Yeah… That he was on the take with Burisma was already a dead lock before he was elected. I thought Trump fumbled that one. He let them get away with “Hunter is just trading on the family name”. I mean, come on… That is just code for a bribe. I thought they should have hammered that one.
It is clear… Nobody seems to care that the media is controlling the message. Taibbi and company have filleted that one… And nobody cares. In fact. Taibbi is suddenly a fascist MAGA Trump supporter in the minds of most public people.
Watching the hearings has been surreal. You routinely see someone practicing straight-up Orwellian doublethink. They will take diametrically opposed positions in the same paragraph.
Sometimes even in the same sentence. Heck, they have even begun praising the ability to hold two contradictory ideas in you mind as somehow being a sign of superiority.
We shall see. I do see some hints that the “hide your allegiances under a bushel” fears of the post Bush era are fading. If we don’t come out in force against this new communist push, it may be too late next time. Actually, I am kinda worried that it already is too late.
Taibbi is suddenly a fascist MAGA Trump supporter in the minds of most public people.
Well when you aren’t a devoted carrier of water, what else can you be?
In fairness, he has been pretty well black pilled. There is a growing list of leftists who are being cast out as apostates for opposing censorship and bribery and generally supporting the right to say things that people disagree with.
Heck, Meghan Kelly is now a rhard right populist with a pretty huge audience. Who saw that coming?
It isn’t hard, as long as you don’t value what liars are saying to you.
Progressivism is a cult. Cults will label anyone that questions any of their tenets as heretics and immediately proceed to punish them. Membership is conditional on holding to all dogmas no matter how fucking nuts or counterproductive they may be.
The left today will go out of its way to hard cancel anyone that challenges or even voices concerns about any of their religious dogmas. They hate people in the circle jerk pushing back even more than they hate outsiders.
On Biden making it to the election: I loudly predicted that they would replace him after 2 years, well before the election (and when we thought Trump was slated to lose in a blowout). I was pretty confident that they would replace him at the convention – and there is plenty of evidence that there was a big party split over installing Cuomo as the candidate in a brokered convention. But he didn’t pull it off and the other side completely eviscerated him.
But the notion that he would stand re-election and not his running mate? That was unthinkable. Then Kamala started being the Veep version of Kamala we know today. Holy crap was I wrong about her. I mean, I knew she was an idiot… But I thought she was the mendacious and evil version of political idiot, not just an ordinary dumb blond sort of idiot.
Last time around the polls were wrong. Like, insanely wrong. I would even say deliberately wrong. When Trump was down 16 points in August, democrat analysts were warning us that Trump would appear to win in a landslide on election night, but after the recounts and challenges, Biden would win in a blowout. Why would they do that if the 16 point lead was real?
This time Biden is improbably in a close race…. there is zero chance independents are leaning Biden at this point.
And he is barely a functional adult. Even if he lives out the term,I don’t see how they leave him on the ticket. It is just a giant middle finger. They just don’t care if we know that the president has little to no control (Vanneman did a good job of announcing that too).
Of course, Newsome would be a giant middle finger too. He isn’t even that popular in California. So who else?
HER
GAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
That’s Lt Col (Ret) Vindman!
Whitmer, perhaps. Inslee as well. Or even Murphy from NJ.
But they’re gonna have to lean into the female vote to have a chance, IMO. So it’ll likely be Whitmer with a black running mate to check that box as well.
If this third party crew had any intelligence at all. They would grab Tulsi. She has already built a very strong following among center right independents, despite being a pretty far left democrat. She is actually charismatic too… Not pretend charismatic like Herself or Kamala.
They could really create a mess with her as their candidate.
Or RFK could win the nomination and pick her. Wouldn’t need any voting shenanigans or lawfare to beat Trump.

Hooo-boy, they hate that guy in DC!
Too many women seem to love them some Gov. Hair. I’m still thinking it’s him.
He’s got one strategic advantage that no one else does – he gives them a way to get Kamala off the ticket, since they’re both from CA.
That actually is a rather useful solution.
“But the notion that he would stand re-election and not his running mate? That was unthinkable. Then Kamala started being the Veep version of Kamala we know today. Holy crap was I wrong about her. I mean, I knew she was an idiot… But I thought she was the mendacious and evil version of political idiot, not just an ordinary dumb blond sort of idiot.”
Koh-moh-loh is the very concern of people that see the problem with the affirmative action effect in government staffing come to life. She is the perfect caricature of the belief it would only lead to massive ineptitude and failure on a level that surprised even those of us that expected nothing other than that.
But she is also one huge problem for team blue right now. While black men think she is an idiot, black women see her as some sort of avenging angel, and if team blue doesn’t give her the WH, they are going to turn on team blue for that.
This is going to be one hell of a shit show in 2024.
Harris seems to be the black women’s version of what RBG was to white women. Except RBG had a brain.
I think she has a benzo issue, exacerbating her problems tremendously.
She needs to get on her knees and thank Willy Brown for her good fortune, in fact she’s already done it.
Good analogy.
I think Harris had some kind of mental breakdown and is now on a bunch of pharmaceuticals for whatever kind of crazy she went.
As a Senator she was the typical dumb nasty CA lefty we’d expect. But not this dumb and inarticulate. Something happened to her.
The only way Biden gets pulled is if he dies.
The whole thing relys on faith; faith that Biden is good, smart, capable, all that kind of BS. The kind of BS, in fact, that it would take media focus on showing was untrue for it to be seen by normies as untrue. So, to keep that spot, they need to keep him in play and pass his gaffs of as senior moments, fart jokes like your grandpa would tell, trips that are normal when someone is in their 80s. But pull him out? That means all of the shit the right is saying about him is… true. And they cannot have that, as it drives a wedge in the normie vote, and makes everything they said about Reagan apply to him.
A death, they can’t fake that. But it is something that is normal for 80 year olds to do on a moments notice, and would give them a funeral bump in the polls.
Top of the morning, Sean. I figure you’ve probably been to The Ram in Perkasie. How was the food? Apparently the head chef just left and took the executive chef job at the William Penn Inn near Lansdale, an upscale place where my son works. The chef is moving from what looks like a good beer and pub grub place to a “blue hair” fine dining establishment. You think the chef is up to the challenge?
I know the William Penn Inn. I’ve been to some wedding receptions there. It’s a good place.
Hunter Biden would dial in his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on speakerphone into meetings with his overseas business partners, according to testimony expected before Congress this week from Devon Archer, the first son’s former best friend.
Nonsense. Joe never had anything to do with Hunter’s business dealings. He said so himself. Of course Hunter was on the board of Burisma because he was qualified for the job. You right-wing, conspiracy theorist nutjobs need to leave the Bidens alone.
This was all debunked years ago!

Unfortunately, scientists predict flooding will only become more common as the years go on.
The arc of history is thus.
A map created by Climate Central, an organization of scientists and journalists focused on studying the impacts of climate change, shows what the future may hold for coastal communities as sea level rises.
I’d ask what flooding from rain has to do with sea level but you are just being dishonest.
We set the map to include what would happen with “unchecked pollution” between now and 2050. That setting most closely matches the current path we’re on, Climate Central said.

WEST YELLOWSTONE, Mont. — A woman was found dead in Montana on Saturday after coming into contact with a grizzly bear on a trail west of Yellowstone National Park.
The Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks said in a statement on Sunday that the woman was found deceased on a trail near West Yellowstone, a Montana town nestled in the Custer Gallatin National Forest just west of Yellowstone National Park.
They said the woman was found deceased “following an apparent bear encounter” based on what investigators determined were grizzly bear tracks at the scene. The department said the investigation into the grizzly attack was ongoing.
Rangers issued an emergency closure of the area where the woman was found, which is popular with hikers.
Though the department’s statement said the death appeared to have followed the woman’s interaction with the bear, it did not confirm her cause of death.
Heat stroke.
Not cocaine bear?
SMDH about that Biden story. When you have teams of people steering you around telling you what to say and do, YOU”RE NOT IN CHARGE.
Even in the campaign he talked this way…. “They told me not to say…”.
“I’m not supposed to take another question….”.
“They don’t want me to take questions….”
I don’t understand us. We elected Fetterman too.
The convenient excuse is the election was fixed because the alternative of people actually voted for him is unbearable.
All the signs were there, but I don’t discount the effectiveness of propaganda. We’ve seen those polls about how deadly COVID was, how many people are shot by cops, how many people are trans, etc. where people’s perception were off from reality by a factor of 10 or more. They focused all their efforts on convincing people Joe was a moderate Dem who was wise and experienced, and it worked on enough people.
Embrace the power of “and”. There was election fraud AND enough people actually voted for him to make the fraud plausible.
The greatest trick the devil pulled was convincing you he didn’t exist.
The actual problem with the idea that more people voted for him is that we are in a black hole information wise. We cannot talk about election malfeasance (see Twitter files), we cannot protest against bad policy (see J6 protesters), we cannot change bad law (see Penn state supreme court).
We cannot know if they cheated, as we cannot do anything to look into it. So, don’t piss on our legs and tell us the vote was good. Because we don’t know if was, and we arn’t allowed to check.

Did anybody see Barbie?
My 13 year old daughter is desperate to see it. The wife thankfully thinks it looks awful.
The drinker did a number on it… And it surprised me. The plot seems to be Barbie land is run by Barbie and Kens are just eye candy. Hahaha. Ok, kinda funny.
But then they go to California and men are all misogynous and evil. Ken learns to be assertive and brings sexism to Barbieland, with the ken dolls taking over everything.
But barbie soon puts it right, using feminism to put men in their place, with women taking full control of society, as God intended. Huzzah!
It sounds like…. She Hulk.

The Drinker was spot on recommending The Menu.
The Menu is one heck of a movie. I was not only surprised that it was made, but that it wasn’t a woke pile of shit.
“…since you are not common people, you will have no bread.” I almost bust my gut laughing.
It sounds like a bad dream you would have if you ate too many cheezie poofs…

Ok… You got me. This is actually one of my top motivations. Aside from protecting the kid from detrimental propaganda, reinforcing their decision to keep making this dreck is a priority. The kid makes her own cash, but I still don’t want her giving it to people who hate men.

My condolences.
The girlfriend is going to see it on Tuesday. I made the decision to avoid it.
don’t call your girlfriend it!
Maybe that’s it’s preferred pronoun?
My youngest kid saw it she said it was meh. Two of my teammates also saw it, they agree with the Drinker and said it was one of the worst movies they ever saw.
As the Drinker pointed out, the bait and switch was pure evil. It looks like a light family-friendly movie, and it’s really a very woke, anti-male movie. My concern is it will make money due to that, and give someone the idea that woke movies really are popular and they should make more.
The theatre near my daughter’s cooking school was packed yesterday. Mostly due to Barbie, but also Oppenheimer.
I was unaware of the bait-and-switch plot but there was no way I’m ever going to watch that crap anyway.

Judge Protasiewicz’s win against former state Supreme Court Justice Dan Kelly on April 4 also set the stage for more significant Democratic victories in Wisconsin and beyond.
Republicans hold six out of eight Wisconsin U.S. House seats, but a liberal court majority will likely consider a lawsuit to overturn Wisconsin’s Republican-drawn legislative maps. Nicole Safar, the executive director of Madison-based law firm Law Forward said her firm plans to file a lawsuit once Justice-elect Protasiewicz is sworn in on Aug. 1.
Additionally, Wisconsin is expected to again be a pivotal swing state in the 2024 presidential election.
When the maps are correct Democrats win, which is a win for democracy against those cheating, lying Rethuglicans.
Good laws is when the right people have power
Obama is not the source of all evil in govt. The fucking bureaucracy doesn’t care who is president, because they’ll be there long after he’s gone. They only care that no one disturbs them from quietly building their little empires.
A long time ago, I saw a Bill Clinton interview (“town hall” maybe), and somebody asked him about term limits. He said term limits would just make the bureaucracy stronger by ensuring the elected figureheads knew less about how things really work than the people working for them.
clearly that means you need term limits for the bureaucracy too.
No more than five years on any government payroll.
So now you limit the window of time they have to abuse the system and rob the tax payer blind?
I would prefer we drastically shrink government and its responsibilities. I know. I know… That’s crazy talk these days, but damn…
When you’re shedding people constantly, shrinking is a matter of blocking new hires.
If you’re going to go that route, then it is back to the spoils system. At least people then have the motive to get the spoils.
The civil service system was a severe overcorrection that caused more problems.
The answer, and you know this, is to shrink the size of gov’t. If you can’t do that, then people need to be fired when they fuck up, they need to be fired when they fail to perform, they need to go to jail when they break they law.
They need to be held accountable.
term limits for the bureaucracy too.
I have no problem with that. Banish them from the Imperial City when their term of service is up. Same for politicians. Go back where you came from, and rehabilitate yoreself.
Getting rid of the imperial city might go a long way too… Scatter all these agencies to fly over country and a lot of the concentration of power abuses go bye-bye..
Then you have military base syndrome, where the bureaucracy captures more elected officials because now the bureaucracy provides jobs in their home state/district.
Didn’t say the idea was a perfect solution…
Nothing is perfect. I agree that bureaucracy should have term limits. Kick them out. No pensions. It should be a job most anyone can try. That goes along with dramatically shrinking the size and scope of the government. Also allowing some government centers to go outside of Washington gets more people involved who otherwise would not. Nothing is perfect. Concentrating on the positives pushed things forward. Negative Nellys end up bitter Repubs.
What’s old is new.
Alas, it seems likely that this plea not to moralise discussions about climate will fall on 21st-century ears that are as deaf to reason as were those that ignored Reginald Scot’s insistence that weather was a heavenly phenomenon, not the devilish handiwork of warped human beings. For today, in our supposedly enlightened era, the rush to blame sinning and selfish individuals for ‘contrary winds’, or ‘weather of mass destruction’, as we call it now, is as intense as it was in the Little Ice Age. Weather witch-finding is alive and well.
Sure, we don’t threaten to hurl climate changers into ‘Vulcan’s flames’. We do not ‘thrawn’ them with rope, inducing a ‘pain most grievous’, as was done to poor Mrs Sampson. We don’t even say the word witch anymore. No, we prefer to speak of ‘climate criminals’. ‘Thirteen climate criminals who should be in jail’, as the headline in a radical magazine put it a few years ago. The list included everyone from Donald Trump to Big Oil CEOs to broadcasters like Jeremy Clarkson. Clarkson’s crime was a speechcrime – to suggest climate change is a ‘fiction’. For that, he and the other ‘real climate offenders’ should be imprisoned, we were told.
‘The internet is finally turning on celebrity “climate criminals”’, chirped a headline in a fashion magazine in July 2022. That piece had a distinctly witch-hunting vibe, arguing that ‘it is right to be outraged’ about these people ‘who are most responsible for the climate crisis’. We must ‘stop the climate criminals who are causing the worst emissions’, says a writer for the Guardian. One left-wing outlet calls for the jailing of ‘climate criminals’ on the basis that they played a part in conjuring ‘floods… fires, heatwaves and other extreme weather events’. These are the new Agnes Sampsons. They’re the modern versions of that woman Johann Weyer described as having been compelled by fire to confess to having brought about unusual coldness. That is, they’re people accused of using their wickedness to ‘rayse stormes’. Only we call them ‘criminals’ rather than ‘witches’, and we say ‘climate change’ rather than ‘contrary winds’, because we are enlightened now.
Burn the contrary wind, rain and heat conjurors at the stake.
Getting rid of the imperial city might go a long way too… Scatter all these agencies to fly over country and a lot of the concentration of power abuses go bye-bye..
Remember the freakout when President Cartoon Villain wanted to move the Dept of Interior to the actual interior (Kansas City, I believe). What a glorious chorus of outraged shrieking.
No normal human being lives in Kansas City.
I’m here with you so I guess that proves it.
Is that one change the president could enact unilaterally? The president can’t realistically fire civil servants, but can he/she relocate departments by dictate?
There is some funding implications that Congress could be able to wield power over.

Milfolini strikes again.
An Italian city has begun removing the names of non-biological mothers of same-sex couples from children’s birth certificates—a move that the country’s government insists is in line with the existing laws.
The cancellation of birth certificates is happening in Padua, a city located in the northern region. Italy has refused to give full adoption rights to same-sex couples due to a fear that it would trigger a rise in surrogate pregnancies, a practice that is outlawed in the country. In June, Valeria Sanzari, a prosecutor from Pauda, filed a lawsuit seeking to cancel 33 birth certificates of children born to couples who identify as lesbian.
These couples had gone abroad and underwent artificial insemination to have children. The kids were then registered in 2017 under Padua’s center-left government.
The birth certs should only have the person who passed the child. Fathers shouldn’t be on them, as we don’t always know the correct father. If the birth happened without witnesses, then the parent fields should be blank, or made with markings saying as much. The whole point is to prove that the birth is real and legal, and not to make a couple lesbians (or step parents, grandparents, whatever) happy.

The other day, I was perusing potential solutions to the lack of 220v power in my shop building, including finding materials to just make a giant extension cord to go from the former pump house, the nearest source of 220. I have been chasing my tail over this for too long- “Should I do it ‘right’ or should I just make something happen?”
Well- did you know you can just buy a 75 foot 6 gauge extension cord for your welder from Amazon? Neither did I, but now I have one. It got here quicker than expected, too. Now I need to put the proper outlet in the pump house, and I’ll have my big air compressor and my tig welder back.
It weighs a ton, and it cost about three bucks per foot, but it’s here.

Fuck off with the climate hysteria, but why the windshield?
Less likely to shed fragments on the kid?
I donno.
The windshield is insured by default and has a zero deductible to replace these days..
In many states…as it turns out, not in Colorado. I discovered this the hard way.
Correct. NH has no separate windshield insurance. Windshield damage is covered under comprehensive, and subject to deductibles.
I poked around. TX glibs can correct me – Texas has an optional no-deductible windshield rider for comprehensive insurance. If you don’t have comprehensive, windshield replacement is not covered. If you have comprehensive without the rider, windshield replacement is covered but subject to a deductible. If you have comprehensive with the rider, free windshield replacement.
DEG is correct about Texas. The average Texan usually does not buy insurance above the minimum required for coverage and thus has no glass rider.
That is only in a few states. It is not universal to all insurance policies.
I have 100% glass, so any window I have to break works.
It’s a minivan. Much easier to climb over the short sloping hood that in through a window. Also easier to replace than a roll-down window, in my opinion as a shadetree mechanic.
That said, it looks like a Buick minivan? My guess is that it does not have key less entry, which would not allow the doors to lock with the key inside.
The windshield is the most expensive and hardest to break. Why on break a side window, then unlock the door?
If it’s a power window you have to open the whole door panel to fix it. Most mechanics butcher that and then you end up with a rattly, potentially leaky door. Windshields are easier to replace and seal.
It’s not that difficult. Anyway, wouldn’t getting the kid out now be a much bigger concern than car repairs later?
Heat dome. Give me a break. Yeah, we had some hot days like we do every summer.
Would you stop to think about just which window to smash to save your kid?
Yes.
If I’m driving home afterwards, the windshield would be very far down on my list of options.
It’s almost as if a large entrenched civil service bureaucracy is a detriment to freedom and efficient governance.
Feature, not bug.
Controversial
Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida said Black people benefitted from some of the skills they learned in slavery — and students in the state will soon learn about that “personal benefit” in Florida’s education curriculum.
Florida’s Department of Education on Wednesday approved a new curriculum for the state’s African-American Studies program in public schools which instructs students on the personal benefit of slavery to Black people.
——-
The state’s curriculum standards for the African-American Studies course say students will learn “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”
Can we get some stuttering outrage over here?

Two female hikers were found dead in Nevada’s Valley of Fire State Park on Saturday afternoon, state police say.
Several hikers saw the women enter the park Saturday morning and became concerned after they did not see them return, Nevada State Police said in a statement released Sunday.
After the hikers asked for a welfare check on the women, Nevada State Police officers arrived at around 2:48 p.m., according to the statement. Officers found the body of one of the women on a trail inside the park.
Officers requested assistance from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s search and rescue team. They then discovered the other hiker’s body in a canyon.
Nevada State Police did not provide a cause of death for the women. Police have opened an investigation into the deaths.
Poor decisions catch up with you, sometimes.
Near me about a week ago a guy had to be rescued off a mountain after his girlfriend fell to her death. They were free climbing and she failed.

Rescue mission
A U.S. nuclear-powered submarine arrived in South Korea on Monday, only days after the first U.S. nuclear armed submarine made port in the country in four decades, as the two allies seek to boost American strategic assets to deter North Korea.
The USS Annapolis entered a naval base in South Korea’ southern island of Jeju, to load military supplies while on an unspecified operational mission, the South Korean navy said.
“The two countries’ navies plan to strengthen the combined defence posture with the arrival of the USS Annapolis, and conduct exchange activities to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the alliance,” it said in a statement.
The USS Kentucky, a U.S. ballistic missile submarine, made port in South Korea last Tuesday. It was the first visit since the 1980s of a U.S. nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) and coincided with the launch of talks between the U.S. and South Korea to coordinate responses in the event of a nuclear war with North Korea.
They’re going to get that guy back from the Norks.
“The USS Kentucky, a U.S. ballistic missile submarine, made port in South Korea last Tuesday.”
An SSBN in port is no more than a target and unable to perform its primary mission: to remain hidden and unseen until it is time to end the world as we know it.
They have to make port sometimes or the sailors couldn’t get drunk and knock up native women.

Rep. Tony Gonzales, whose Texas district includes 800 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border, said the tactics used to deter illegal migration are “not acceptable,” but stopped short of criticizing Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.
——-
“The border crisis has been anything but humane. I think you’re seeing the governor do everything he possibly can just to secure the border,” Gonzales, a Republican, told “Face the Nation” on Sunday.
“I don’t think the buoys are the problem,” he said, noting that migrants were drowning long before the floating barriers were put in place. “The reality is the buoy is only a very small, little portion of the river.”
When pressed on whether it was acceptable that migrants were being harmed by such measures, Gonzales said, “This is not acceptable. It’s not acceptable and it hasn’t been acceptable for two years.”
What do you suppose he mean by that “two years” crack?
Oops. Link still works, I guess.
