Well I guess I should have stayed up and watched more of the football game. Atlanta stole one from Philly. The Astros lost and are clinging to a 4 game lead with 12 games to go. I think that division and the WC races are gonna come down to the last weekend, if not the last day of the season. Also, UCL starts up today! Should be some fun matches. Now on to…the links!
Oh, give me a break. These people were perfectly fine with platforms and their owners manipulating opinions by removing things that ran counter to the narrative before. When this guy speaks his mind they go nuts. These people aren’t journalists, they’re regime shills.
I’m shocked! Just kidding. That’s what this guy has always done.
Adios, dickhead. Oh, who am I kidding? This guy will be back across the border in a month. And he will be helped to make the trip through a government-funded NGO.
OK. Swear out a statement under oath then. Because your track record isn’t exactly stellar.
I must not have been paying attention. I honestly thought this guy was arrested a long time ago.
I wonder how much coverage this will receive. My guess is “none.” Let’s see if I’m right.
This headline was inevitable. Remember, friends: however much you hate journalists, it’s not enough.
First you win a Nobel Prize. Then you go for the Guinness Book Of Worlds Records. There’s bound to be a record for most retractions of scientific papers, doesn’t there?
OK, now I think it was aliens. Just kidding. That is pretty weird though.
We’re gonna do some fun stuff this morning. I can think of few better to do it with than these guys. And this one was always one of my favorites. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Tuesday, dear friends.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning!
I get that whenever we have fondue. It comes from leaving the sterno can out.

“Oh, give me a break. These people were perfectly fine with platforms and their owners from manipulating opinions by removing things that ran counter to the narrative before. When this guy speaks his mind they go nuts. These people aren’t journalists, they’re regime shills.”
You have to admit that nothing has done as much damage to the machine and its corrupt and illegal efforts to censor information they do not want out there than Musk acquiring Twitter, cleaning it up, and now having it fight them as X. if Musk was not also in charge of Space X (the only way the military cabal gets stuff into space since NASA is a DEI failure) and Tesla (which will soon be building robots for everything) and working on serious AI, they would have murdered him by now too.
When a governing institution starts singing the same old censor’s song every tyrant has sung since the beginning of time you aren’t looking at the governing of a free people. If they depend on tightly controlling info it is a pretty good bet their days are numbered. It is still not as bad here as elsewhere int he anglosphere, the rest of which has slipped completely into totalitarianism. Get thrown in prison for stating the obvious and your society is in deep shit (looking at yo u England)
I still can’t wrap my head around the idea that 90% of our news media is constantly repeating easily disproven lies every day.
Ask yourself why they would do so, and then you will realize that you are not despising them enough for doing the dirty work of evil entities.
“This headline was inevitable. Remember, friends: however much you hate journalists, it’s not enough.”
I am certain every one of them is pissed they have not been able to publish the “Trump finally assassinated!” article they all have in the hopper yet.
It was not a mistake when the machine immediately went into damage control and complained that this second attempt would again serve to bump Trump’s numbers.
“The left needs to spend more time at the range” is a headline I expect to see any day now.
They don’t make ’em like old LHO anymore.
Basically what I heard from my in-laws over the weekend, which is sad, because they are otherwise pretty down-to-earth, self-reliant kind of country people. In fact, the sort of deplorables that Kamala would destroy. But lifelong Democrats, and they watch the network news every night.
Conversely, the right needs to carry more often.
Remember that dweeb who shot up the Congressional pickup baseball game here in Fairfax? Wouldn’t it have been cool if, say, Rand Paul had pulled out his S&W Shield and put one in his dome while he was panic-firing all over the place?
The fact that you had think tank libertarianism reciting a chorus of “MUH PRIVATE COMPANIES!” from their psalter, even while the evidence culminating in the Twitter files was mounting, is one of a fucking litany of reasons that I only refer to myself as such among my non-political friends who can no more comprehend the idea of someone not fitting neatly into the conservative or liberal camp than Hank Hill could comprehend someone from Laos being neither Chinese nor Japanese.
This headline was inevitable.
I’ve already read that Trump’s rhetoric is to blame for the assassination attempts.
There’s a whole litany of “she shouldn’t have worn that short skirt”-type articles I could have chosen from this morning. These people are beneath pond scum.
Like this? As you point out Sloop, the idiot making this ludicrous assertion would be the first to blow a gasket if you made her argument vis a vis some leftist trope. True fucking evil.
The best ones blame Trump’s statements as well as call Trump a threat to Democracy that must be stopped.
“There is no place in politics for violence,” Felicia Duncan wrote in a letter that the editors of the Cincinnati Enquire chose to publish. “That said, the former president, Donald Trump, brings a lot of this stuff on himself.”
Wow.
There is no place in America for rape. That said, women bring a lot of this stuff on themselves.
I dislike sexual assault as much as the next guy. Rape: BOOO! Buuuuuut…
“There is no place in politics for violence,” ….but?
But rule for the win.
“Trump assassinated; women and minorities hardest hit”
I also heard California has turned into a shithole because Republicans are too conservative to get elected. It’s their fault.
Latin Wife: “You dont love me!”
Gringo Husband: “Why would you say that?”

“Trump lies about 2,000% increase in Haitian residents. In fact, the population increase only amounted to 1,997%”
“Trump claims he finished his golf game 3 over par. We rate this claim as false. He finished 2 over par.”
From what I can tell, we’re firmly in the “If it is happening, it is a good thing!” stage of the meme.
“Pennsylvania Town Grapples with Dramatic Rise of Racist Hate”
That’s how they fact check him. He does exaggerate a lot, but he’s almost always “directionally” true. So he might say we have the highest inflation every, and they fact check him as “Akshuly it’s the SECOND highest ever. LIAR!” Meanwhile their side says outright false statements like “Trump injected a Hattian with bleach” and that’s never questioned.
“So he might say we have the highest inflation ever, and they fact check him as “Akshuly it’s the SECOND highest ever.”
Just getting them to admit it’s the second highest inflation ever is a win. Kinda like the “Ackchually, they aren’t eating cats in Springfield, it’s Dayton where that is happening” isn’t the big win the DemOp morons think it is.
Kind of a throwback to the classic old joke about an Israeli UN ambassador coming to the floor to deliver a speech:
“Before I begin, I would like to tell this assembly something about Moses. When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought, ‘What a good opportunity to have a bath!’ He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock, and entered the water. When he got out and came back to the rock to dress, his clothes had vanished. A Palestinian had stolen them.” The Palestinian representative jumped up furiously and shouted, “That is a lie! The Palestinians were not even there at that time!” The Israeli ambassador continued, “And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech.”
On the other hand, people’s minds have been solidly made up on that issue for the last 20 years. Finding out there’s no Haitian pet food trucks isn’t going to sway a single Trump voter who wants immigration restricted, and finding out every Haitian immigrant in the country is responsible for an average of 50 feline deaths isn’t going to sway a single Harris voter who wants open borders. It probably works more favorably for Harris, since Trump’s real and imagined lies have been a central theme of his opposition since 2015.
The “seriously vs. literally” thing that (I think), Scott Adams described.
And they play the opposite game when they need to defend it. “Harris said ‘as of today’ and ‘active duty'” were not in a war zone. Well today only reservists are on rotation to shitholes so neener-neener Trumpalos!
Pat, I tend to think the Springfield story is a net negative for the Dems. It foregrounds all the things about immigration that a lot of people (and not just hard-core Trumpalos) are worried about, in a way that catches public attention and is hard to handwave away as bigotry and racism.
And the DemOp Media simply cannot seem to get it out of the public eye.
C’mon, man! They all the integrity of a Dan Rather or a Bryan Williams!
There is a reason they are trying – desperately – to rehabilitate those two as well…
Fake but accurate is still accurate!
Honestly, that article was a bit of a puff piece.
To be fair, he’s innocent until proven guilty. We still don’t know: diddy or didn’t he?
Diddy or didn’t he?
Is tough to say with all the puff pieces written about him.
He’s finna get loose on bail, I assume.
He’ll be out, can’t nobody hold him down.
inb4 some fucking chode chimes in that because this guy got caught in flagrante a decade after the fact by an anonymous researcher after his falsified work was cited 200 times, peer review is working exactly as intended.
These days one should assume any study that postulates something big government types want as true is a fake. Like the left used to say back in the day: follow the money. Tobacco and Fossil Fuel company paid for studies were bad because it was about money. The fact that these idiots can’t see governments spending magnitudes more money to get studies concluding the things that help governments become more totalitarian is a bigger problem shows you that these are not very intelligent people.
Tbh, as much as public funding has corrupted the sciences, I suspect it’s just as much or more to do with egos, reputations, and academic politics. Because of the level of specialization required within sub-fields of sub-fields, every research community is its own little incestuous silo, with its own pet theories and bête noires, and favored and disfavored children.
Egos, reputations, and academic politics were always a problem. Govt money has just magnified that problem exponentially.
Who could have seen that coming?
Where there’s money there’s corruption. Science has been completely taken over by big business and big government.
– “You hate to say it, but what this looks like is an intentional [act] of not funding what they should fund to help him.”
It looks like an intentional act to me as well. But lack of funding is not the issue I see.
Choosing not to fund it is more accurate.
GOP lawmakers returned to the Capitol angry and upset, and pointed fingers at the Secret Service for not having a sufficient security presence around the former president and GOP presidential nominee.
Not to let the Secret Service off the hook, but even if they were completely staffed and competent, eventually you’re going to get someone who does not have an escape plan in mind, who is willing to die to get Trump. And that is really hard to stop, when Trump has to be out in public.
So the finger wagging really ought to be at the pols and press that are inciting homicide with the “Trump is Satan” rhetoric.
—Babylon 5
The blaming his own rhetoric for the assassination attempts has made it clear that they want him dead and that no amount of shaming or finger wagging is going to get the media and the pols to moderate their tone. It’s a shame that it’d be even money that he’ll even make it to the election in a straight bet but here we are.
They are here because their policies make it so they can’t run on anything positive. In fact, they have not been able to do so since Obama fucked everything up when he fundamentally changed the country into a shithole run by an unaccountable cabal of criminals. Since then the left has only had fear to keep their lemmings in line. If they have to stop the fearmongering, it will impact their control of the herd of idiots that work to collect votes for them.
To be fair, you can help increase those odds if one of the turrurists your FBI has been grooming for the last couple years in an undercover operation suddenly and mysteriously slips away from his handlers and does something no one could have possibly predicted. If they can’t goad that rare Antifa clown who can actually hit the Empire State building from 10 feet away, they’ll dredge up something from the Aloha Snackbar, or better yet, one of the 8 remaining sovereign citizens, 6 of which are on the federal payroll. Make no mistake about it, if the polls are looking close enough that a 4 AM ballot dump won’t do the trick, Trump will absolutely not survive the election.
“…one of the 8 remaining sovereign citizens, 6 of which are on the federal payroll.”
Why does Stephen Paddock jump to my mind?
I think the SS “protection” has always been this shoddy. Nothing has changed there. Which is good news because it means that for the most part, we haven’t really had many nuts that wanted to kill a president. Maybe we could stop with the stupid security bs and the locking down of roads anytime the president goes somewhere.
The downer, though, is that the rhetoric really is triggering some of the less stable loons out there.
What? Those are the things that bring budget increases! We can’t get rid of those!
Good points there Pope. Why should the USSS be any less incompetent than the rest of government- especially DEI follies government.
Which of you monsters brought a respiratory bug to the Honey Harvest?
So it arrived on time? I was worried.
See what happens when I am not there to dispense papal blessings?!
Especially since Fourscore has been mocking the end of my reign as Grand Old Man of the Honey Harvest.
Superspreader!
You’ve been collecting specimens in your nasal petri dish from the East coast to the West Coast, yet you are sure it came from a Honey Harvester?
Nah, Philly sucked ass towards the end.
True, but nobody expected Atlanta to even be in a position to win.
So last season encapsulated in single game form?
Philly is one of the (few) teams I will root against no matter who they are playing. I had the game on solely to see them lose, and I turned it off in disgust in the 4th quarter because Atlanta just laid down. Shoulda kept it on, I guess. I would have really enjoyed watching that.
As a Viqueens fan, I can’t blame you for thinking that there is no way Kirk Cousins would lead a comeback drive in a prime time game.
Those are usually the games where he makes a great 7 yard pass on 4th and 15.
When the Redskins traded that dude to the Vikes I knew the Vikes had cursed themselves….
I like to point out that Case Keenum had basically the same stats with the Redskins when he ended up there later that Kirk had. And Case did great the year he got to start here.
Maybe it helps to play for a good team with good receivers?
If Sam Darnold looks good this year, I think that might be a theory worth investigating.
Wonder if GM’s might start catching on to that? Maybe instead of giving Dak a huge contract, you figure you can get some affordable but OK QB while you try to draft or trade for a real franchise QB.
Vikes played a couple of very entertaining games so far. I’ll take it. Just happy to see Kirk somewhere else.
The Cowboys fucked themselves for a decade with that Dak deal. They’ll be scavenging for backbenchers under the salary cap, and Dak is untradeable with that guaranteed contract. Mrs. Dean and I did the math, and his new deal comes out to something like $50K per pass attempt. Its absurd.
Puff Diddy was a low rent mini Epstein who filmed music industry muckymucks doing incriminating shit at parties for blackmail and was a fed asset at the least. It’s no wonder it took so long to arrest him.

Men can never be lesbians
Couple of things here:
A) You’re right, men cannot be lesbians, because words have meanings, and even dudes who cut their dicks off, wear skirts long enough to hide those tell-tale knees, and wax their Tom Selleck moustache still aren’t actually chicks.
B) No, screeching and banging drums to let the world know you’re a dyke in 2024 England was not deadly serious. It was, in fact, profoundly unserious. Nobody has given a shit that you’re a lesbian within my lifetime. Your performative ritual was exactly as serious, and stunning, and brave, and important as hosting a Christmas pageant on December 24th at the Vatican.
Is there anyone with internet access who is unaware that lesbians exist?
Is there some video people could watch demonstrating what lesbians do differently than other women?
As a lesbian trapped in a man’s body I am offended!
Yeah…see, that line was always only a joke.
One of the aspects of mentally/emotionally disturbed people is that they are completely, totally self-absorbed. Such people take themselves so seriously that they are incapable of humor.
Perhaps these swarms of disturbed people would be less of a problem for society if we would stop giving them so much attention.
– “to enjoy each other’s company”
Bow chicka wow wow
Because their brains have been scrambled by a couple decades of destructive propaganda.
Why some men cant tolerate a lesbian march? I would get a giant bucket of popcorn and find a nearby bench….
Ok, probably not. Aren’t there a zillion ‘expectations vs reality’ videos on Youtube? I should know better.
Jeez, there’s already Pride Month in June. Now they want Lesbian March?
The thing about the article that bothered me most was the letter “u” where it shouldn’t be and “s”s where “z”s should be.
never? that is not the sort of can do attitude that made America great. especially since what most lesbians need is a good deep dicking.

Wasn’t it just the other day we were told that shoplifting isn’t a problem anymore in 2024?
I saw a meme the other day of a shop with individual cans of Spam inside anti-theft cases.
Stores are locking up merchandise because they are greedy.
And they hate the poors who are forced to steal in order to support their families.
Anyone else remember Service Merchandise stores? You would go in and they had items on display, but you didn’t buy items off the shelf, you would fill out a ticket and they would fill your order from the warehouse in back and you picked up your order at the checkout.
Yup. However as a kid it seemed like it took like 20 minutes for them to get you your product.
I hated going there.
I remember Best Products with the conveyer from the warehouse to the checkout. They also had unusual architecture which was unique to the store.
Up here it was Best.
However as a kid it seemed like it took like 20 minutes for them to get you your product.
Yup, as a retail experience, it sucked. Much better as a catalog service.
Yes, I remember them well. I never like the Soviet retail model. They went out of business for a reason.
The retail model we have here, had sorry, could only work here in America. Of course the left has worked overtime to destroy that, the evil fucks.
That’s pretty much the model of the mercantile store of the late 1800s-early 1900s.
I thought the point was to steal used panties
They’re just spending the extra money to lock everything up so they can make more profits and price gouge. /prog logic

Last week, after The Wall Street Journal sought comment for this article, TikTok disabled Schmidt’s account.
Sounds like the fatties who know deep down what they’re doing is dreadfully wrong but don’t like having it pointed out complained and had her canceled. She’s a bit on the thin side but doesn’t appear to have crossed into anorexia territory.
An article about a girl promoting ‘skinny’ with only head shots? *sigh*
Are we back to finding out there’s pro-anorexia people on the internet?

Meh, it’s hard to decode, since anything short of exalting the pretended beauty of the morbidly obese is considered “pro-ana” on modern social media.

Absolutely, this stuff is supposed to be done with misdirection and obfuscation, it’s for the children and whatnot, not out in the open.

Regarding the line about an NGO shipping him back across the border: “The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water…”
I’m truly befuddled that nobody in Congress is just plainly calling for a declaration of war against some suitable and workably broad list of NGOs and foreign powers who are facilitating the current invasion. Granted, most of them are there to be grifting mini-dictators themselves, but surely at least one of them should find it in their interest to do so.
The fact that a bunch of these NGO bad actors are American based kind of throws a wrench into that idea.
Nah. The “…and domestic…” in the oath is specifically for that.
Also the definition of Treason. Commit war against the US while yer still a US-ian and you’re there.
As far as I can tell they are proxies for various lefty govt agendas and of course money laundering operations.
Kill them all with fire.
And are being paid off by lobbyists for the companies those NGO’s are supplying labor for.

I say the government redistributes readers from Sanderson to whatever cause not fair.
Your book is gay!
Stupid people…
That was one of Correia’s less profane rants (I enjoy them all) but still on point.
Marxists think EVERYTHING is a fixed pie, and want their slice because they breathe.
Marxism is based on the principle of overthrowing the current feudal lords by destroying everything that works and creating chaos that will make the desperate demand action, installing a bunch of new feudal lords, and then these new feudal lords looting the existing system. Of course, if this is your view of life, the pie is always fixed. You can only destroy.
If you think you can stop me from reading everything Brandon Sanderson writes, you’ve got another thing coming. Only my job and the everpresent need for food and sleep can do that.
Also, Larry Correia is a terrific guy, a very good shooter and even better DM. He hosted a shooting class last year that I attended, and ran an Aliens-themed RPG one-shot in the evening. Probably the best four-day vacation I’ve ever had.
Have you read much of Corriea’s writing?
His early stuff was entertaining, but raw, it has gotten better and better.
I just reread the 4 books of the Forgotten Warrior because the new one comes out in November.
I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Sanderson just isn’t my cup of tea – he’s fine, but there’s always plenty of others ahead of him in my line. I do like Correia. I think I’ve read most of his stuff, and I’ve been collecting the Forgotten Warrior books as they come out (I think I read the first couple, but will have to re-read before I do the whole series back-to-back when its finished).

He just misspoke somehow, don’t know what he was actually trying to say but it’s obvious that he tripped over his own tongue for a split second there.
I suspect that was the language used in the calls…
possibly immigrant vs migrant
I think he was saying migrant but tripped up and started with mig (like the ruskie jet) before changing. I definitely heard an “m” at the beginning of that.
And Lowry is a douche and I hate having to defend him.
He messed up migrant and immigrant. very obviously.

Maybe we should just spend even more money we don’t have and throw it across the globe.
“Our adversaries’ conviction that the inattention of a flabby political class is bringing the Pax Americana to an inglorious end is a key reason why nations as suspicious of one another as China, Russia, Iran and North Korea have chosen this moment to make common cause against us.”
We’ve mismanaged this supposed Pax Americana, which never really existed BTW, to the point where maintaining any semblance of such is unsustainable either fiscally or morally. No one wants their kid to be like the marines who were on their way out of the lost adventure in Astan who paid for the systemic incompetence with their lives.

The a drug-commanded dog at a traffic stop, social media posts are pretense to increasingly use the FBI to show up to your house.
If comments are to be believed, he is the doofus who posted from the libertarian party NH that anyone who assassinates Kamala Harris would be an American hero.
So… epic encounter, well handled (loved “go home and think about what you’ve done”)….
But….
I’d say his post crossed the line of decency and he ought to apologize for that. They think we are nutjobs as it it.
Still… pretty epic.
Never talk to the FBI without recording the whole thing. When they can just claim you lied to them and send you to jail, speaking at all is sketchy, but without a recording? No way. Not even to ask for a drink of water.
Funny, I don’t remember reading the part in the 1st that talks about “decency”. Is it in the hate speech glossary?
Give these people more power and they wont be just driving away.
Not a crime, but I bet they do have to visit everyone who says anything semi-threatlike.

Nobody was successful, but the draw of judge was critical. One guy being arraigned tried to claim he was a trust and refused to identify himself by name, so the judge sent him back to jail and scheduled a new hearing in a month. Others played along and didn’t get confrontational, just went with the law.
– “I am not Bob. I am the designated representative of the trust for Bob.”

Society loses more than $1,000 for every ton of CO2 emitted.
Climate inaction is bankrupting us.

That would be methane, not CO2.
That explains why material standards of living have cratered since the industrial revolution.
Brilliant!
according to e.g. Jason Hickel or R.C Allen they did not.
According to “every poor family in America has a 65 inch HD flat panel TV from Walmart for under $500….. they did not.

‘South Park’ creators renovate a beloved restaurant, and find nostalgia is pricey
https://www.npr.org/2024/09/16/nx-s1-5110027/casa-bonita-mi-amor-review-trey-parker-matt-stone
Holy crap! Casa Bonita is real!?!?!?
I’m going to re-create this:
https://youtu.be/h5n4S6UAfRc?si=uOq7C_Z29pvDLvBP
My first thought too. And also how accurately it was portrayed in “South Park”.
Casa Bonita, a 50,000 square foot attraction in a Lakewood, Colo., strip mall that has been dubbed the Disneyland of Mexican restaurants. It’s an Anglo businessman’s fantastical riff on an old Mexican village, one decked out with Old West outlaws, volcanoes, cliff divers and even a gorilla that runs through caverns studded with stalactites.
Delightfully, yes it was. And now may be again for the low price tag of $20 million.

Judge orders Rotherham rape gang survivor to remove demand for deportations in her victim impact statement
The survivor gave a moving statement in Sheffield Crown Court last week, over 20 years after she was groomed at the age of 11 at her primary school playground.
By the time she was 16, over 150 men had sexually exploited her.
Finally, she had her chance to confront some of her abusers.
Addressing five of the seven defendants in the dock, she said: “You stole my childhood, now I’m taking your freedom. I am your karma.”
But just before she arrived in court to deliver her statement from the witness box, the CPS barrister discussed the upcoming address with the judge.
The lawyer said: “Whether they [the abusers] remain in this country or not” is up to the Home Office, and that “the decision should happen” regardless of what “the victim should say one way or another.”
The judge had prior oversight of the statement, and GB News can reveal that he censored sections of her address, including where she requested that two of her abusers — who have Pakistani nationality — to be deported.
The censored conclusion reads: “I’d like to request that after sentencing and upon Rudy and Showabe’s release, that they should be deported back to Pakistan as this is where they originated from and came here to exploit children. Thank you.”
It never made it into her speech, but the survivor has passed her FULL statement to me, including the sections that were not permitted in court.

The question is what is the british government doing to ensure this never happens again… not much I would wager.
Wow.
We really are in a clown world.
It’s shocking how evil the British government has become. And it’s spreading rapidly to all the Anglosphere countries.
New study: each “1°C increase in global temperature leads to a 12% decline in world GDP.”
According to my model, my model is correct.
So, when do we expect the first decline in world GDP in human history to happen?
Looks like the financial crisis in 2009 caused a slight contraction, and there was another on in 2020 due to the government COVID response.

Overlay that chart with one of global temps, especially the cooked numbers the warmistas use, and you will see zero correlation, I am sure.

Hezbollah members wounded in Lebanon when pagers explode
More than 1,000 people, including Hezbollah fighters and medics, were wounded on Tuesday when the pagers they use to communicate exploded across Lebanon, security sources told Reuters.
A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the “biggest security breach” the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of war with Israel.
What an amazing psyche out. You can never hold an electronic device again without worrying about it blowing up in your hand/face.
Agreed. Wow.
Hey, that reminds me…
Are there still American hostages in Gaza? Or did they kill them all?
There are American hostages in Gaza? Can’t be. The press would have reminded us every day if there were. CNN would have a counter in the top right corner of the screen showing how many days they’ve been held hostage.
There are certainly American citizens who were taken hostage that haven’t been returned. How many were dual citizens, I couldn’t say. How many are still alive, nobody but Hamas knows.
This story is so awesome. Really perks me up today.

NYPD says officers recovered wrong knife from police subway shooting in Brooklyn

Mind you the fare evasion needs to be stopped, but as usual we can’t seem to approach this rationally.
I guess that’s technically an improvement over how the NY cops typically deal with knives on the subway.
It’s threats to democracy, all the way down
He told Fox News Digital on Monday without evidence that the alleged would-be shooter “believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it.” Trump went on: “Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country, and they are the ones that are destroying the country — both from the inside and out.”
“It is called the enemy from within,” he said using a familiar trope of totalitarian leaders. Trump warned that “dangerous fools” like the suspect in Sunday’s incident listen to what Democratic leaders say and react to what he has claimed, falsely, is an orchestrated attempt by the White House to use the justice system to persecute him.
Trump’s running mate advanced an even blunter argument.
“The big difference between conservatives and liberals is that … no one has tried to kill Kamala Harris in the last couple of months, and two people now have tried to kill Donald Trump in the last couple of months,” Ohio Sen. JD Vance said.
“I’d say that’s pretty strong evidence that the left needs to tone down the rhetoric and needs to cut this crap out.”
Nobody listens to Biden or Harris. But if they did, it’s only because they are telling the unvarnished truth.
Trump has no right to be angry or upset just because two people attempted to kill him. He need to tone it down.
Examples include deplorables and white supremacists – yes, Hillary Clinton and Joseph Biden?
Mind you the fare evasion needs to be stopped, but as usual we can’t seem to approach this rationally.
Maybe a big Irish cop dishing out a quick thump or two with a nightstick wasn’t the worst system imagineable. Immediate negative reinforcement of unwanted antics can be an effective behavior modification tool.
Or, you know, arrest and prosecution. Which seemed to work well until Obama and followers convinced everyone that enforcing laws was racist.
If I had to pick between getting tuned up by some potato-head flatfoot stereotype and doing an overnighter at Rikers…not a hard choice.
Democratic Rep. Nikema Williams condemned Vance’s remarks about assassinations and the difference between liberals and conservatives.
“Would he want that? Why would you say that at a time when we’re talking about bringing down the temperature and changing the rhetoric and bringing the country together – unity – moving forward?” the Georgia Democrat said on “CNN This Morning” with Kasie Hunt. “We can disagree on policies, but we don’t want anyone to have an assassination attempt.”
And, of course, she gets it ass backwards. The comment wasn’t an incitement to “be worser” it was an observation that so-called ultra extremist right wingers have refrained from taking shots at the sitting President and Vice President.
Wow. The lack of shame is breathtaking.
Which of these dimwitted tropes doesn’t belong?
a.) ‘Bringing down the temperature.’
b.) ‘Changing the rhetoric.’
c.) ‘Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families.’
d.) ‘Bringing the country together.’
Show your work.
They are identical.
By bullying you into changing your rhetoric we are lowering the temperature. By sending our thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families we are bringing the country together around our power… er ideology… uh, just everyone join our side or you are Hitler.

The experience of being singled out for apparent attempted murder twice in two months would weigh on anyone. Trump is also facing an election, less than 50 days away, that is a dead heat between him and the vice president, according to most polls.
These are two completely unrelated situations. That’s some top notch journalisming.
Also random and unrelated, multiple prosecutions and civil lawsuits in kangaroo courts in multiple state and federal venues.
But Trump’s claims that Biden and Harris bear direct culpability underscore the extreme nature of his own political instincts.
His claim that their warnings about his supposed threat to democracy risk getting him killed is particularly stark. By implication, he’s saying that it is illegitimate for his opponents to point out the truth: that his past behavior — in seeking to steal the 2020 election and spreading false claims that this year’s voting will be corrupt — suggests that he poses a danger to America’s democratic system. His position, which looks like an attempt to stifle free speech, may also be a dark harbinger of how he would behave if he won a second term.
Evidence free claims of Trump’s intent to suspend the Constitution and dissolve the government immediately following his inauguration don’t qualify as incitement. He’s trying to take away their right to free speech.
They can say it, but he can also use it against them. That’s how free speech works.
