RAGE-TRIGGERING LINK: This story makes me incredibly angry and sad that this family is experiencing any of this. Maryland Child Protective Services collaborated with the DC-based hospital and someone transported this kid across state lines; seems like there are a lot of legal issues here, including some possible criminal ones. Every parent out there with a sick child is going to think twice before seeking hospital treatment. The groomers and transitioners have taken over many of our institutions.
RAY OF HOPE: Federal Fifth Circuit rules geofence warrants unconstitutional. Geofence warrants, also known as “reverse” search warrants, allow police to draw a shape on a map, such as over a crime scene, and demand that Google (or any other company that collects user locations) search its entire banks of location data for any phone or device that was in that area at a specific point in time. Now, the bad news: the federal Fourth Circuit recently ruled geofence warrants to be perfectly legal. The Fifth Circuit ruling sets up a circuit split which means the case will get reviewed by SCOTUS. But at least for now, no more geofence warrants in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas.
BRIDES OF THE STATE: Miserable young women are the Democrats’ foot-soldiers. Over at UnHerd, writer David Samuels takes us on a tour of the large cohort of American women who have embraced the helping hand of the state in place of the increasingly suspect protections of fathers, brothers, boyfriends and husbands. In doing so, they have become the Democratic Party’s most enthusiastic and decisive constituency. What Samuels doesn’t address is the second-order consequence of BOTS — a generation of boys raised without male role models. (H/T to Q Continuum for this depressing but essential article.)
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT: Remember how last week I linked to an article about ex-Democrat, US Army Reserve officer, and former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard being subjected to TSA bullshit hassles every time she flies as part of something called the “Quiet Skies” program? Well, a group of Hawaii state representatives have written a strongly-worded letter to the TSA about that. Federal bureaucrats wipe their asses with letters from state legislators. The feds are probably still pissed off about that time back in 2020 when Congressman Massie and then-Congresswoman Gabbard filed a bill to repeal the Patriot Act.
NASA IG SAYS BOEING NEEDS TO IMPROVE QC ON MOON ROCKET: Boeing has been in the news a lot recently, and not in a good way. First, all the whistleblower reports about their commercial aircraft, then the StarLiner crew capsule which (miraculously) made it to the ISS safely but remains indefinitely docked being deemed to be too risky for the crew return voyage. Now NASA’s Inspector General has questions about quality control on the Moon rocket. Not a good look, especially with the Chinese itching to do a crewed Moon landing.
PRIVATE COMPANY SEEKS TO TAKE OVER NASA’S CANCELLED VIPER ROVER: Much to the surprise and anger of pretty much everyone in the US lunar exploration community, NASA ill-advisedly cancelled testing on their already-built VIPER rover, a low-cost, high value mission to prospect for surface ice inside craters at the Moon’s south polar region. [sfx: sad trombone] Now, Intuitive Machines says it is organizing a coalition of organizations that will offer to take over a NASA lunar rover mission, launching it on one of the company’s landers. [sfx: horn section fanfare] This will still be funded by the US taxpayers under a CLPS task order. (Full Disclosure: I own a small amount of IM stock.)
Here’s a rare version of a happy little tune to send you on your commenting way.
Over on X, Matt Taibbi is fielding a lot of pushback from people defending Quiet Skies.
Of that I have no doubt. The deep state, its apologists, anti-freedom people, hysterics, and dem operatives who hat Gabbard. It’s a hive of scum and villany.
BOTS or bots?

Yeah, that would definitely not be a filing lawsuits sort of deal for me. It would be some other kind of deal.
Re: Tulsi Gabbard. For some reason, this did not occur to ,me: if Tulsi’s on the list, can I assume Massie, Rand, Amash and a few others are also? Maybe RFK, Jr.
While she suspected she was being followed, every time she flies her ticket has “SSSS” on it, which means extra intrusive searching. You know, the kind I get because I can’t walk through the stupid machine. But I digress.
Some suggested she was being followed because someone else was a threat to her safety, but that doesn’t explain why SHE was being searched and had bomb sniffing dogs assigned to her.
I would expect any of the aforementioned would notice these things, but maybe Quiet Skies has different levels of intrusiveness? We may never know, though, because there is no official way to know if someone is on such a list.
Pissing off the Evil Queen Kamala probably has something to do with it.
The question with Rand & Massie is if they dare put a sitting congresscritter on the list.
The others, quite possibly.
Put her on the Selectee list. We’ll never get away with No-Fly.

6 people shot in and around single building since May.
After the third person was shot at 6002 North Kenmore in May, Manaa-Hoppenworth launched a policy of not telling her constituents about criminal activity in her ward unless they “opt-in” to a special mailing list. She thinks informing people about crime is racist and leads to a perception of increased crime.
She said her decision was based on her concerns about racism and her belief that “over-reporting of crime leads to an inaccurate public perception about crime rates.”
https://cwbchicago.com/2024/08/13-year-old-boy-fatally-shot-at-edgewater-building-where-5-others-have-been-shot-since-may.html
Black people killing black people is white supremacy; it is known.
If a shooting happens and nobody reports it, does it do a racism?
Schrödinger’s Shooting!
Well, we wouldn’t want people to think that the 6000 block of North Kenworth is dangerous. Why, barely more people have been shot there over the last six months than the posh neighborhoods on the Gold Coast. Just a statistical anomaly is all.
Could be worse

I think the question is now “how many times will Elon’s Starship make it to the moon before Artemis lands anyone there?”
The Artemis program involves both Orion and Starship vehicles. Current plan is to send an uncrewed Starship HLS variant to lunar orbit, and send four astronauts in an Orion to dock with the HLS. Two astronauts will use the HLS to do a lunar landing and return. The Orion will head back to earth with the crew, and the Starship HLS will stay in orbit to support future missions.
I’m still disappointed that it’s not the cool kind of Orion spacecraft.
Yes. I’ll never read these stories and not think nuclear bomb propelled spacecraft.
When? At this rate why bother? Sunk costs?
There was a period of time when my daughter kept getting flagged for extra scrutiny when we were flying. Why a 9 year old girl would be on a watch list is unclear. Maybe the TSA are just a bunch of perverts.
In hindsight maybe you shouldn’t have named her Mohammed.
The mother of a co-worker of my sister’s was named Jihad.
Probably her name is the same or similar to someone of actual interest to them. Nobody ever got fired from TSA for being too cautious.
That was my thought. Maybe there is some Jewish-Russian mafia figure that has a similar name. We’re not Jewish or Russian, but there are some Jews who adopted the same last name.
Nobody ever got fired from TSA for
being too cautious.going completely fucking overboard in their disregard for civil liberties.In August 2001, I flew to Salt Lake to meet a dude off the internet. This did not go well. However, it is the last time I flew without hassle. KCI was a fabulous airport to fly in and out of. Gate was 100 feet from the drop-off, and you could just run in, check your bags (or not) and sprint down the passageway to your seat 5 minutes before takeoff. When I got to Salt Lake, dude was waiting for me at the gate along with a whole lot of people waiting for their people.
In July 2002, it was an entirely different ballgame. I planned to help my then-fiancé move back to KC so I only had a one-way ticket. TSA was just starting to get its hooks in and while KCI was fabulous for last-minute flights, it was singularly horrific for TSA to function. You could not have long lines in a compressed space (from front door to gate) like that. Anyway, I only had a backpack because it would be a quick trip, and because I was low-carbing faithfully, I had water and snacks. I got pulled out of the line and thoroughly interrogated as to my purpose, possessions, and snacks. They REALLY wanted to know about my snacks. When I got to Salt Lake, there was NO ONE at the gate and I completely panicked before I remembered this was a cowardly new world. The terrorists had won.
In 2002 I was on a business trip to about 3 different cities with an engineer. Each leg of the way both of us got flagged for extra scrutiny. I finally asked an agent why, and the guy said, “Young guys travelling alone. One way tickets. No checked baggage. You fit a profile.” At least that one I could understand. Of course I also learned that if I want to sneak something on the plane I should buy round trip tickets and check a suitcase.
If you really want to be safe, you should pack a bomb as well.
I mean, what are the chances there would be two bombs on the plane?
I only had a one-way ticket.
The last time I flew to Europe, I bought the tickets piece-meal as it was cheaper.
Only one one-way ticket got me extra scrutiny. Amsterdam to Boston on Delta. There were no TSA folks in Amsterdam and I wasn’t put in a room by myself thankfully, but I got extra searches and extra questioning.
“Only one one-way ticket got me extra scrutiny. Amsterdam to Boston on Delta.”
I think the TSA still has a say on flights into the US. From the TSA website: “The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is actively working to raise the baseline for aviation security across the globe by requiring the implementation of enhanced security measures, both seen and unseen, at approximately 280 foreign airports with direct commercial flights to the U.S.”
One of the times my daughter got pulled aside was in Costa Rica when we were returning to the US.
On the ded-thred, Drake [I think] posted about some botched raid in Yemen. I don’t find much credible in that reporting, since it first claims SEALs and SAS, then American mercenaries. I also don’t have any idea why Israel would be fucking around there at all.
The Houthis have been committing unprovoked acts of war anyway. Free passage through the Bab-el-Mandeb is guaranteed by international treaty.
It astonishes me how people want to jettison the idea of free an open international shipping lanes just because they think they’re getting some sort of “win” over the western foreign policy establishment.
I noticed the outright support for Houthis here at Glib central has fallen off since the spotlight has started shining on what exactly they’ve been doing all along.
Why jettison free passage? See: The Trojan Wars
Any bottleneck in land or sea lanes is the perfect place for a toll booth. They want money. It’s always the money.
Also, the hootys are what you might characterize as ‘not civilized’.
There was support for the hootys here?
Not saying there wasn’t but I dont remember it. Sometimes I think a lot gets past me.
What are you talking about? I think we still support Hooters.
Drake is linking to articles making questionable claims? Well, it’s good to know nothing changed while I was gone.
I’m unreasonably stressed for the people stranded on the ISS. Do they all have enough food and water? Were they prepped for a long stay in 0 gravity? What business did they leave behind that they thought, “Oh, I’ll get to that when I get back”? I mean, it’s not like they intentionally bought a one-way ticket. Did they suspect the people they trusted couldn’t get them home again? But mostly I’m stressed about 2 additional people indefinitely in the ISS residents’ space that they weren’t counting on.
And I’m not even a space nerd. I’m just like, this is super inconvenient.
“Did I close the garage door?” “Did I turn off the stove before I left?”
“Are my auto-pays all set up?”

This was a contingency planned for. There’s plenty of food and, IIRC, they’ve both done extended stints at ISS before. It’s the worst example of your connecting flight being canceled because of mechanical issues in the history of flight, but theyll be fine.
I’m just glad we didn’t have to watch them disintegrate across the ionosphere.
Yeah, twice in a lifetime is plenty for that.
Mo, they bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into. I say let ’em crash!

In too-local Big College news, a grad student was fixin’ to head out to the real world last spring, and decided to spend her last week on campus getting arrested in a pro-Hamas demonstration on the campus quad.
The university had told students that there were guidelines on acceptable conduct when protesting, and that violations would be punished by suspension. This gal decided to flout the rules anyway.
Getting suspended meant no completion of coursework and no awarding of her degree. And UF really means it when they say that.
+1 stupid prize
…stupid prize….
Well, she was protesting in support of a vicious, evil babymurderrape cult. So, there is that too.
BOT thot.
OK, but FIRE is an amazing organization
Yes, they are.
I’m pre-disposed to approve of her punishment but FIRE is probably correct.
Far too often they conflate the free speech issue with consequence free action. Maybe she was fine in her conduct but can you say the same for her compatriots.
I hate everybody.
Getting suspended meant no completion of coursework and no awarding of her degree. And UF really means it when they say that.
Consequences?

Cancel culture takes its toll
A recent study out of Michigan State University’s College of Social Science found a dramatic decline in people’s desire to stand out from other people over the past 20 years.
The study looked at three dimensions of uniqueness: concern about other people’s reactions, desire to break the rules and the willingness to defend beliefs publicly. All three facets declined but the most dramatic were people being hesitant to defend their beliefs publicly (a 6.52% decline) and becoming more concerned with what people think about them (a 4.28% decline).
Fortunately, as libertarians, we’re comfortable enough in our own skins that we DGAF what the unwashed think of us.
“… concerned with what people think about them…”
Remember bullet vending machine girl from yesterday? That was her primary concern as well.
Goddamned herd animals, cowards.
I learned early on that it does matter what someone thinks of you if that someone is 1. Yourself or 2. Immediate family, especially children. Outside that you have no real control.
Or your current or future employer or the prof that grades you or the social media sites that will ban you or the tsa that will ssss you…
On the added exceptions…nope. I really dont.
Well, ok on the social media sites. it is a badge of honor to be banned by the likes of most of them. Back in the day I had a good list of sites that banned me.
It’s like when people say “Suthenboy, you are too cynical. That’s just wrong” I think “Damn, I am right again.”
*sigh*
What happened to teenage rebellion?
And why would you not be willing to defend your beliefs in public (with the exception of someone just spouting talking points)?
Teens rebelling against adults is still a thing. But teens rebelling against their peers – other teens – is a really hard ask. I (and I’m sure most of us) went through a lot of B.S. in Middle and High Schools and I did kind of put in a half-ass effort at fitting in, but ultimately decided on the DGAF way of life. But asking teens to stick their necks out in front of their fellows has always been a tough ask. Lots of my classmates spent hours agonizing over “popularity”, etc.
The good news is, most teens will go along with the Cool Thing. If (when) being a smelly, ugly, angry, strident twat becomes the uncool thing, then we’ll see a shift. What’s required for that to happen are kids that do stick their necks out gaining attention and respect among their peers. Then the majority of kids who just want to fit in and be cool, will go along with the tide.
Many of the 60s hippies turned into 80s stock brokers.
Teen culture seems to sway more drastically than middle-aged-people culture. So if we can make it past whatever the fuck is going on with the kids these days, then we’ll be OKish. Maybe.
One of the biggest difference between teens now and when we grew up is social media. It is a ruthless enforcer of norms.
“becoming more concerned with what people think about them”
Yet more and more folks seem to be fine with inking up their arms, neck, legs, etc. so people can look at them.
Wow, nasty birthmark. Maybe you have a dermatologist look at that.
That would be the “longhouse” in action.
Federal bureaucrats wipe their asses with letters from state legislators.
Repeal the 17th amendment. And yes, I know some states had already gone to direct election of Senators.
Here, like most states I imagine, the congressional districts are wildly different in culture and attitude. That is reflected in the office holders. I am not sure repealing the 17th, though I am an advocate of doing so, would change the senators we have.
I happen to be a fairly big fan of Kennedy though I do keep in mind that he is a pol.
George Helmy is who get (if there’s isn’t a voter process) without 17A, Bob Menéndez is what you get with 17A. In either case, fed rats would continue to ignore state legislators as they increasingly do so with federal legislators with impunity.
Why do Brits insist on pronouncing every single foreign word wrong? Like, what’s so hard about saying “pie-ay-ah” and not “pie-ella”?

I have 3 periods of geometry and 3 of critical thinking. The principal wants the latter to be an open-ended math class, which is fine by me.
My pep talk for the geometry students:
***
There will always be jobs for people who are good at math, and they pay well. Whatever you want to do in life, you will need to take a standardized test with math, and the better you do, the more options you have. Math is not just a set of rules for manipulating abstract symbols. It’s a way of thinking that helps you understand the world and solve problems. Also, there is a kind of beauty in math much like music. Galileo said that math is the language God used to write the universe.
***
For the critical thinking class, I plan on introducing the concept of logical fallacies. After that, I’ll give a math lesson and answer whatever questions they have.
Here is a video of a student punching a substitute teacher at an FL school:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65A_pbUZlGU
Been there, done that. Meh, I had 50 pounds on the guy, so I didn’t get hurt too bad, just a bloody nose and a bump on the side of my head. After the first two punches, I pinned his arms at his side with a bear hug. After a struggle, he broke free and retreated. I grabbed the scissors and popped the ball he was trying to retrieve for his shithead cousin. Felony battery charge for him. Meanwhile, I drink beer, eat sushi, and relax at home while his braindead relatives cart him back and forth from court.
His reign of terror has ended.
Have you thought about teaching Boolean Logic based problem solving ?
It’s something that a HS student could do and the topics could be fun for them.

One panic at a time
On Tuesday night, several participants in the Republicans for Harris call did acknowledge that they do not always agree with Harris on policy. But, they argued, they believe Trump would endanger American democracy.
“When the Harris team wins and prevents the sudden death of American democracy, we can joyfully return to arguing over marginal tax rates and the role of government in health care and all the other issues that defined our politics for generations,” said Craig Snyder, who leads a group called Haley Voters for Harris.
The ship of state is burning. We’ll argue about who’s going to get to finish running it up onto that reef after we put more fuel on the fire.
That quote is not from the Bee?!
Government has no role in healthcare and taxes are theft, fuckhead. I am guessing the guy had to wipe Kamala’s splooge off of his chin after that call.
Every time I almost forget how much I hate the R’s they are kind enough to remind me.
Rosario Marin, who served as U.S. treasurer under President George W. Bush, described voting for Trump as “unacceptable” but acknowledged that voting for a Democrat may cause strained relationships for some people.
“It is not easy to vote outside your party,” she said. “You may lose friends. Your neighbors may disagree with you. Family gatherings may turn uncomfortable. But at the end of the day, I can assure you that you will know in your heart that you did the right thing and that it’s a worthwhile and noble cause.”
Former Rep. Joe Walsh of Illinois acknowledged that it “takes a lot of courage” for many Republicans to publicly break with their party, but he argued it’s necessary.
“You have to publicly out yourself: ‘I’m a Republican, I’m a conservative, and I’m supporting Kamala Harris,'” Walsh said. “It takes courage, but remember: Donald Trump is unfit to be president.”
I regret that I have but one life to give…
Okay, Nathan Hale.
Shorter never trumpets: I do not have the courage of my…wait, I have no convictions. Never mind.
You could just, you know, not vote for either of them. Fine, you hate Trump, don’t vote for him. I don’t understand why you’re then forced to vote for Harris.
There’s a local blogger who was pretty decent for many years prior to Trump/Covid. He self-described as a libertarian leaning conservative. Fast forward 6-ish years and while he says he can’t bring himself to vote for Harris, he recently admitted he is hoping she’ll win in order to stop Trump and save Democracy™️.
If nothing else, Trump has laid bare a serious mental health problem in this country.
