And the people cry and cry again, Speaking of David Berigan, Whose trumpet wept like autumn rain, A silver ghost in smoky chain. He chased the notes through Harlem nights, Where shadows danced on neon lights, A king of swing with a broken crown, Till the bottle claimed what the music drowned. Oh, Bunny’s blaze, that fiery call— “I Can’t Get Started,” we recall— The crowd still sways to his wild refrain, And the people cry… and cry again. From Beiderbecke’s cool, ethereal sigh To Berigan’s roar ’gainst a starless sky, The jazzmen fall like autumn leaves, But their echoes haunt the heart that grieves. So raise a glass to the horn that bled, To the man who played till the angels fled— In every bar where the blue notes spin, We speak his name… and cry again.
Mark Levin has gone crazy. "Carlson is a hate America first liar damn near every time he opens his propaganda-spewing mouth"
That in addition to calling Carlson an agent of Quatar, is a racist/sexist/bigot/homophobe. And that he should be cancelled.
He and Carlson agree on 90 percent of the issues. But Carlson's discussion with Nick Fuentes and his refusal support Israel 100 percent has pushed Levin over the edge. Of course, he's been always been pretty close to the edge.
so those who were locked up in laogai, or who had to flee the people's republic they made possible, did they ever say a word about that , joan baez did,
I found an old record of the Dorsey band in a box of my mother’s stuff I was cleaning out, and took it to a friend’s house who still had a turntable. I thought I would try writing for a possible career change to a Saturday afternoon NPR jazz host.
RCOCEAN II -- It's not about whether Carlson and Nick Fuentes support Israel 100% of the time. It's about engaging in Holocaust denial, calling Adolf Hitler “really f***ing cool,” and saying that if his movement gained power it would execute “perfidious Jews.”
Things about NYC I might think if I was thinking such things.
If the mayoral race for NYC was Mao, Grandmah Killah and Generic Republican, the Generic Republican would get the same 14% support that Curtis Silwa is currently getting.
And the non-Communist voters would be pressured to just bite the pillow and vote Grandmah Killah already, and go politely wash the jizz from your abused asshole later.
Voting for Cuomo is saying: we not only give up, but we'll willingly bend over and hold a moist towelette. Just put someone absolutely abhorrent on the ballot and we’ll politely bargain down to the middle, and we’ll let our Betters decide just how far to the left the middle will now be declared to be.
I don’t know much about Silwa that doesn’t involve riding subways 45 years ago: he might as well be a plate of room-temperature Brussels sprouts, now. But if the only three things on the table are poisoned-candy, a bowl of dog shit, and Brussels sprouts, don’t tell me how you had to eat the dog-shit because no one likes Brussels sprouts.
I get it: if the Communist wins, it’ll bleed over into other regions. Except the Communist hasn’t won there yet, and the Mayoral race of middle-America Minneapolis is already about who can best represent Somalia.
Close to 40% of NYC is foreign-born; many are not citizens. Much of America is becoming the former Motel 6 off the interstate that gave up and changed ownership but hasn’t become a meth-lab flophouse just yet.
But eating the dog-shit isn’t going to stop that. The tipping-point has been tipped.
Death Race 2000, people.
As Dylan should’ve said about NYC: I do believe I’ve had enough.
"Game 7 of the World Series. Just hope that everyone is having fun. Let's go Bluejays."
Like Hell I'm going for the bluejays. First the Canadians dominate Hockey. Now, they're taking over baseball. What's next, the Toronto Argonauts in the Super bowl?
Seriously, I'm not a great fan of either team. I'm only rooting for the Dodgers because Ohtani is the greatest thing since Babe Ruth. I always thought Ruth being a great pitcher AND a hitter was just a fluke of early baseball. But Ohtani proved me wrong.
Hitler died 80 years ago. I don't care what people say about him.
Stalin killed more people than Adolph, and we have Goddamn communists and Stalin lovers in places of power and in the arts and academy. And no one cares.
In the mass-killer olympics Mao won the Gold medal. But you can wear a mao T-shirt in the USA, and you'll get complimented.
A disgusting display of elitism and Marie Antoinette “let them eat cake” behavior in this time of uncertainty for the working poor and millions of laid off workers.
“Stalin killed more people than Adolph, and we have Goddamn communists and Stalin lovers in places of power and in the arts and academy. And no one cares.”
Nick Fuentes, in his interview with Tucker Carlson said he an admirer of Stalin.
ABHOR was yesterday's Wordle solution. I had a heck of time with it. I played TRASH to start, which gave me three yellow letters. Then I played HAIRY, and the H, A and R all stayed yellow. Then I wrestled with where to put them for about 45 minutes before trying REHAB, which gave me a green H and R, A and B all yellow. That meant that the R had to go in the 5 spot and A in the 1 spot, making ABHOR an easy solution at that point. It was a hard 4; I really prefer games where the solution comes more quickly.

Are these two statements related somehow? Is this supposed to be some kind of 'gotcha'?
Not familiar with either Fuentes or Heritage Foundation, but generally speaking, conservatives don't think 'cancellation' is a good thing. Generally speaking, conservatives think that better ideas and more Free Speech are the best answers to toxic social behaviors. Actually, 'cancellation' is considered, by civilized human beings, to be another kind of toxic social behavior. How about you?

Even though Rachel Maddow calls it “a brave firecracker of a book, it has a 2.5 rating with readers. One of the complaints is that it’s only 175 pages long - that’s 15 cents a page. Which makes me shake my head. This is why authors pad their books nowadays. Otherwise readers grouse. No, brevity is the soul of wit, dammit.
Mark Levin has a voice made for a newspaper column. Cannot stand his constantly angry voice. Many years ago he had to keep reassuring listeners he wasn’t going to talk himself into a heart attack
Inag - obsessed with Trump and Mar-a-lago and anyone who dare have some fun on Halloween - when they should be at home worshipping their Chuck Schumer melting wax candle.
NO, I didn’t say that. Peachy said that at 8;13 PM
“Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation says Nick Fuentes should not be cancelled.”
This is how I responded to the dummy, because Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation is not a leftist, duh, yet he says Nick Fuentes should not be cancelled. So is the conservative Heritage Foundation now in favor of Nick Fuentes?
Inag- again - It's you leftists who are in favor of "Cancelling people." You know this. or are you that dumb? We on the right and in the independent non-leftist zone, are all about Free Speech. Meanwhile - you are trying to shame someone at the Heritage Foundation... and doing so quite pathetically.
Aggie, are you seriously telling me that you don’t know what the Heritage Foundation is? I don’t believe you. As for cancelling Fuentes, it’s not the same as censoring him. No one is silencing him, but if the right wants to go on record as giving Fuentes’ rhetoric credence and a place in conservatism, you folks are in deep shit.
Inag - Did you ever disavow Jay Jones(D)? He is on the ballot in VA - running for AG. Did you ever disavow him for his extremist terrorist desire to see his opponent and the children of his opponent - brutally murdered? If you have not disavowed Jay Jones(D) - that means you agree with Jay Jones(D) and you support his vile murderous desires.
I know that some people say the Heritage Foundation is a conservative/far-right (depending on who's talking) think tank. That's the extent of my knowledge.
..."Aggie, are you seriously telling me that you don’t know what the Heritage Foundation is? I don’t believe you...."
No Inga, I have heard the name, mostly associated with Progressive attacks, but I don't know what it is. What you believe is your problem, not mine. What I spend my attention on is my business, not yours.
You've become quite hysterical and rather nastily ad hominem recently, to the point where I skip over most such comments now - but you're not an exception - and that's not really a good thing, either.
Nick Fuentes is a current fixation of the left. Inag - you assume we care about a Halloween party and people having fun. You think that is important. No - it's pathetic and desperate.
“The guy with the SS tattoo has been given credence by the left and is an actual candidate of record with a clear place in leftism.”
He may not be a Nazi sympathizer, but is paying for a mistake of his youth. Democrats shouldn’t sink to Republican’s level and embrace him. He should drop out and not run.
"Every day, The Heritage Foundation is building an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society flourish. Heritage’s mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense."
Oh My GOD! those words make leftists melt like green witches and a bucket of water.
https://www.investors.com/news/spacex-wins-2-billion-contract-for-golden-dome/ A decent roundup on space news. It mentions Milnet in passing (a SpaceX contract). That is already launching, first 21 went up last week.
“The left is more unhinged than usual because they’re starting to realize that Thune and Johnson are not wimps like McConnell and McCarthy.”
LOL! Johnson is scared silly of Trump and will do his bidding. Thune may actually have a spine, we’ll see. The Senate has at least four who voted against Trump’s tariffs three times in the past few days. That’s a good sign of Senators not scared silly of Trump.
"I think part of the rightists’ problem is being poorly informed."
We had an elderly woman canvasing for democrats at our door today. I engaged her a little bit, mainly because I was concerned I had missed the fact that Madison had an election Tuesday. But no, she was just out because of the "dire" (her word) political situation. She was getting the jump on next spring's Wisconsin Supreme Court election. If we elected her preferred candidate, it would flip the court to the liberals. The court is already majority-liberal, I told her. She didn't believe me.
25% of NYC are immigrants who dont speak English. Yet they vote. And needless to say, NYC does ZERO to make sure illegal aliens and non-citizens don't vote. ZERO.
But this is the country 'muricans wanted. Kam Harris - like the Labour Party in the UK and leftists all over the world - is pushing for 16-17 y/o's to vote. Partly because People of color are a majority of young people, and mostly because 16/17 y/o's are ignorant and zero idea how the real world works - and will fall for anything.
I dont think Mandingo will do anything. But, he's a preview of coming attractions.
No food for the poor! Unless you let us make insurance unaffordable for 40 million people. ---------------------------------- I believe you can thank Obama and Biden for that. What did Biden call it? Oh yeah a big fuckin' deal.
The Left LOVES it when those on the Conservative/Rightwing cancel each other and fight among themselves. But the neo-cons and so-called "True Conservatives" cant help themselves.
For some reason they're yelling and screeching about cancelling the Heritage Foundation, Nick Fuentes and Tucker, instead of just going "Oh yeah, well I disagree with those guys on X, but we need to defeat the real enemy.. the left".
Notice the Left, never does this. But the Right just can't help themselves. Either because they're grifters who don't really care about their so-called conservativism, or they're plain stupid and want to lose.
...."I think part of the rightists’ problem is being poorly informed. ...."
So, let me get this straight. You and your compadres devote your efforts to labeling the Heritage Foundation a 'fringe' group with 'radical ideas' and name it as an 'authoritarian bunch of crackpots', and then because I haven't made a study of them to become an expert, I'm not sufficiently well-informed on 'fringe groups' and that's part of the problem with Conservatism?
No argument there. I don’t know too much about him, other than what you’ve posted and a few references on X. I don’t think anyone should be cancelled, but he does not represent me at all…
"Our Government lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to pay SNAP with certain monies we have available, and now two Courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can and cannot do," Trump said in a post on his social media platform Friday evening.
"If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay," Trump said, referring to the shifting of funds that has been used to pay troops as the shutdown has stretched on.

44 PM RCOCEAN II said... " First the Canadians dominate Hockey…”
Har har. A Canadian team hasn’t won the frozen-sport championship in over 30 years. But you’re kinda right, the American teams win with (mostly) Canuck players.
I guess Fuentes has a right to his opinion, however misguided he might be. I suspect Kevin Roberts would not cancel Igna either for her litany of sordid, evil, most likely legal opinions.
Yeah baby back from the races, kind of chalky overall for a BREEDERS CUP but FOREVER YOUNG in the house. I bet him AT 4-1 where he was on the edge as an underlay for me and did drop to 7-2 at last but paid $9 to WIN and a generous $59.60 exacta which I scored multiple times on the win and exacta. The Japanese are training and racing good horses and it set up exactly as I saw it in the form, lay back off speed and push up through the stretch, beautiful like ART! I cashed in 2 Races ,love the Sprint winner and had 3 races where i was 1st and 3rd and 1 race 1st and 4th(gimmicks will do that to ya) but my handicapping was spot on. Only one race hard to figure winner and he paid $50 plus to win. There are usually many more races that have big payouts like I said all 9 races except one pretty logical. My wife away at dance competition with my grand daughter will catch nice VIG when she gets back home from the 4 day adventure. I'll put my padded bankroll away until early 26 and I'll start Looking at derby contenders for MAY race. Nice getting away from all the political hate and rhetoric always flowing. There is LIFE beyond all of it although you wouldn't think so the way the North and South carry on with each other, sad .FOREVER YOUNG YEAH BABY! Days of hard work really paid dividends. Beaucoup Dinky Dau day.
Haven’t seen an RC Cola in a long time, but have attended the (original) Mardi Gras festivities, including Joe Cain Day, in Mobile where they drop a ten foot illuminated Moon Pie like they do with the NYC New Year’s ball.
Barkin’ at the moon is certainly implied at those parties… :)
If Inger ever had an original thought, it was strangled at birth.
Along those lines, William Blake summed up the Democratic Party platform when he wrote, “rather strangle an infant in its cradle, then nurse unacted desires.” They want your children for sex, mutilation and slavery. The men all think they’re women and the women are all lesbian. And they all look like Shrek
The Dems are running a man for Attorney General of the State of Virginia who said he'd like to shoot his political opponent in the head and then shoot his two children in front of their mother. But we should disciss Nick Fuentes who I never heard of and who is not running for Attorney General of any state for the Republicans. But we have to feel responsible for Fuentes and talk about him and not talk about the man the Dems are running for the highest law office in Virginia.. "Squirrel!"
With Fuentes or any other Nazi-loving antisemite slithering out into public view, we should argue against him, as the Heritage Foundation said, rather than cancel him. The general public needs to be reminded of what the Nazis were and did. But I'm not going to do that here and now because I have no idea what Fuentes really says. And I have no idea why Tucker Carlson has become ... eccentric. There's loads and piles of stuff I don't know. Tons and tons. I do know the Attorney General of Virginia shouldn't talk about shooting political opponents but the Dems are going to overlook that. 'Cause he agrees with them
The Oakland Athletics and San Francisco Giants competed against one another in the World Series for the first time in 1989—but the Series would be remembered for a different reason. Shortly before the scheduled start of game three, the largest Bay Area earthquake since 1906 occurred.
"If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay," Trump said.
I assume this is not going to happen because there are at least one or two people left in D.C. who can think at least one step ahead, but it would be hysterical if some self-righteous and dim-witted district court judge gave Trump the ability to open only those parts of the government he wanted to open . . . for the next 3.5 years!!!
The 1989 quake caught me at the old B.Daltons bookstore. It was interesting. I then I got a call from my aunt (I had a new and then- rare Motorola cell phone) telling me to rescue my great uncle from his collapsed apartment building in the Marina. Which I did, luckily the taxis and trains were running, so I could get him to Palo Alto.
The Dodgers are the first National League team to win back-to-back World Series since the Big Red Machine in 1975, which is the first World Series I can remember seeing!
That ‘89 quake, Full Moon… I was approximately 100 miles from the epicenter and I had to go down to one knee to avoid hurling, the Earth was shaking so bad.

The 1989 quake caught me at the old B.Daltons bookstore.
I was at my first radio gig. LaGrande, OR. News/sports director and sports play-by-play high school sports.
Come back to the apartment after football practice - expecting to watch Game 3 while making/eating dinner - and a repeat episode of The Wonder Years was on.
WTF?
And then spent the rest of the night listening to Al Michaels and on the phone checking in with friends in the Bay Area.
“For graduate school, Seales says, “I shot for the moon. I couldn’t imagine anything better than to be at Wisconsin.” Strapped for money when he applied to the university, he prayed it would “just let me work and pay my own way.” Unlike other schools, the UW gave him a four-year guarantee of funding.“
Well the Canadian baseball team comes up short. I find it mildly amusing two stars for the U.S. team are of Japanese decent as Trump recently visited the island nation. Also note the recent idiocy of Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford towards Trump. Cry in your beer Doug. Trump should sent Ford a love note.
"There is ‘nothing to suggest’ the knife attack on a train between Doncaster and London was motivated by terrorism, British Transport Police said.
In a press conference on Sunday morning, the force revealed two suspects, who were arrested by armed officers within eight minutes of the first 999 call, were two British men in their 30s.
Two people are still fighting for their lives in hospital after a man armed with a large knife started stabbing people on a London-bound train in Cambridgeshire.
A 32-year-old Black British national and a 35-year-old British national of Caribbean descent were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder."
"On Monday, I will ask President Trump, via X, to help save my life. He offered to help me if I needed it.
I need it.
As many of you know, I have metastasized prostate cancer.
My healthcare provider, Kaiser of Northern California, has approved my application to receive a newly FDA-approved drug called Pluvicto. But they have dropped the ball in scheduling the brief IV to administer it and I can’t seem to fix that.
I am declining fast. I will ask President Trump if he can get Kaiser of Northern California to respond and schedule it for Monday. That will give me a fighting chance to stick around on this planet a little bit longer.
It is not a cure, but it does give good results to many people."
Peachy said... "Nick Fuentes is a current fixation of the left."
Does it matter that I don't know who "Nick Fuentes" is? Is it important?
TBH. Nobody in the world is stopping you from prying your wallet open. You strike me as the kind of person that would hand a begger a five and then proceed to tell them exactly how to spend it.
We have a family friend who was in the running for Mrs.California in the fall of ‘89. She was staying at a high rise hotel in San Francisco when the ‘quake hit. She said it was quite a scary ride up there, lol.

And the people cry and cry again,
Speaking of David Berigan,
Whose trumpet wept like autumn rain,
A silver ghost in smoky chain.
He chased the notes through Harlem nights,
Where shadows danced on neon lights,
A king of swing with a broken crown,
Till the bottle claimed what the music drowned.
Oh, Bunny’s blaze, that fiery call—
“I Can’t Get Started,” we recall—
The crowd still sways to his wild refrain,
And the people cry… and cry again.
From Beiderbecke’s cool, ethereal sigh
To Berigan’s roar ’gainst a starless sky,
The jazzmen fall like autumn leaves,
But their echoes haunt the heart that grieves.
So raise a glass to the horn that bled,
To the man who played till the angels fled—
In every bar where the blue notes spin,
We speak his name… and cry again.
Roland “Bunny” Berigan, not David, a memory issue.

what prompted that reverie,
so those who were locked up in laogai, or who had to flee the people's republic they made possible, did they ever say a word about that , joan baez did,
from the other thread, they destroyed the monkeys but rest assured they weren't infectious, now the three still on the loose,
Write about anything you want in the comments.
Including the person, apparently being held a gunpoint, in the first picture? Have Althouse and Meade taken up brigandage?!
Explain this. According to the CDC, Minnesota and Wisconsin have lower measles vaccination rates than Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana.
Clearly it was a monkie jailbreak
“ what prompted that reverie,”
I found an old record of the Dorsey band in a box of my mother’s stuff I was cleaning out, and took it to a friend’s house who still had a turntable. I thought I would try writing for a possible career change to a Saturday afternoon NPR jazz host.

“Game 7 of the World Series.”
Actually game 8, if you count the two games (18 innings) they played on Monday. I consider the series tied, 3-3-1.
The stats say that the team that wins Game 6 wins game 7 62% of the time. How often does the team that wins Game 7 win Game 8?
@hawkeyedjb, I would say, not very often!
No more like chudtown
RCOCEAN II --
It's not about whether Carlson and Nick Fuentes support Israel 100% of the time. It's about engaging in Holocaust denial, calling Adolf Hitler “really f***ing cool,” and saying that if his movement gained power it would execute “perfidious Jews.”
That is pure Jew hatred. And it is evil.

Which makes me shake my head. This is why authors pad their books nowadays. Otherwise readers grouse. No, brevity is the soul of wit, dammit.
The left: "You must disavow this person!" because we said so!"
The rest of us: "Piss off, wanker."
More entertainment from Trump’s Great Gatsby Halloween Party
Mark Levin has a voice made for a newspaper column. Cannot stand his constantly angry voice. Many years ago he had to keep reassuring listeners he wasn’t going to talk himself into a heart attack
Inag - obsessed with Trump and Mar-a-lago and anyone who dare have some fun on Halloween - when they should be at home worshipping their Chuck Schumer melting wax candle.
@Inga sez: "...“Leftists adore Nick Fuentes.”
NO, I didn’t say that. Peachy said that at 8;13 PM
“Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation says Nick Fuentes should not be cancelled.”
This is how I responded to the dummy, because Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation is not a leftist, duh, yet he says Nick Fuentes should not be cancelled. So is the conservative Heritage Foundation now in favor of Nick Fuentes?
Hopefully Maddow will dig deep into the Mar-a-lago Halloween Party. Probably Illegal.
Send in the Soviets - to harass everyone.
’…he says Nick Fuentes should not be cancelled. So is the conservative Heritage Foundation now in favor of Nick Fuentes?’
So those are the only two options in your mind - you either favor someone or cancel them?
Inag- again - It's you leftists who are in favor of "Cancelling people." You know this. or are you that dumb?
We on the right and in the independent non-leftist zone, are all about Free Speech.
Meanwhile - you are trying to shame someone at the Heritage Foundation... and doing so quite pathetically.
Wisconsin sweeps the Minnesota Golden Groypers this weekend, 5-2 and 4-0.
Aggie, are you seriously telling me that you don’t know what the Heritage Foundation is? I don’t believe you. As for cancelling Fuentes, it’s not the same as censoring him. No one is silencing him, but if the right wants to go on record as giving Fuentes’ rhetoric credence and a place in conservatism, you folks are in deep shit.
To Favor or not to favor Nick Fuentes! --- choose wisely.
Inag will wait at the bar, as she gives Candace Owens the up and down.
Inag -
Did you ever disavow Jay Jones(D)? He is on the ballot in VA - running for AG. Did you ever disavow him for his extremist terrorist desire to see his opponent and the children of his opponent - brutally murdered? If you have not disavowed Jay Jones(D) - that means you agree with Jay Jones(D) and you support his vile murderous desires.
’…if the right wants to go on record as giving Fuentes’ rhetoric credence and a place in conservatism…’
The guy with the SS tattoo has been given credence by the left and is an actual candidate of record with a clear place in leftism.
I know that some people say the Heritage Foundation is a conservative/far-right (depending on who's talking) think tank. That's the extent of my knowledge.
"Groypers" LOL
..."Aggie, are you seriously telling me that you don’t know what the Heritage Foundation is? I don’t believe you...."
No Inga, I have heard the name, mostly associated with Progressive attacks, but I don't know what it is. What you believe is your problem, not mine. What I spend my attention on is my business, not yours.
You've become quite hysterical and rather nastily ad hominem recently, to the point where I skip over most such comments now - but you're not an exception - and that's not really a good thing, either.
“Did you ever disavow Jay Jones(D)?”
Yes I did. I also said he has no place on any Democratic ticket.
“No Inga, I have heard the name, mostly associated with Progressive attacks, but I don't know what it is”.
I think part of the rightists’ problem is being poorly informed.
Good. We won't disavow you... yet. But you are on thin ice.
Nick Fuentes is a current fixation of the left.
Inag - you assume we care about a Halloween party and people having fun. You think that is important.
No - it's pathetic and desperate.
Inag - tell us all about the Boogaloo. We are so uninformed.
"I think part of the rightists’ problem is being poorly informed."
We don't wallow in this stuff.
The left is more unhinged than usual because they’re starting to realize that Thune and Johnson are not wimps like McConnell and McCarthy.
“The guy with the SS tattoo has been given credence by the left and is an actual candidate of record with a clear place in leftism.”
He may not be a Nazi sympathizer, but is paying for a mistake of his youth. Democrats shouldn’t sink to Republican’s level and embrace him. He should drop out and not run.
The Heritage Foundation front page:
"Every day, The Heritage Foundation is building an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society flourish.
Heritage’s mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense."
Oh My GOD! those words make leftists melt like green witches and a bucket of water.

A decent roundup on space news.
It mentions Milnet in passing (a SpaceX contract). That is already launching, first 21 went up last week.
No food for the poor! Unless you let us make insurance unaffordable for 40 million people.
Yes, Johnson is such a strong, strong man.
“The left is more unhinged than usual because they’re starting to realize that Thune and Johnson are not wimps like McConnell and McCarthy.”
LOL! Johnson is scared silly of Trump and will do his bidding. Thune may actually have a spine, we’ll see. The Senate has at least four who voted against Trump’s tariffs three times in the past few days. That’s a good sign of Senators not scared silly of Trump.
Bluejays lead 3 runs to 2 in the middle of the sixth innings of game 7, and your correspondent is a quivering mess of nerves.
Can't imagine how stressful it must be to play in one of these things.
The corrupt democratic party voted down the CR 13 times.
they demand free healthcare for illegals and a bunch of other money wasting crap.
“Yes, Johnson is such a strong, strong man.”
Maybe he mentioned his manliness and strength in his Grinder application.
’He should drop out and not run.’
Cool. I think he should have admitted that he screwed up, instead of pretending that he was unaware of one of the most vile totems in modern history.
And Fuentes will never be a candidate for anything. And if, for some bizarre reason it happens, I’ll donate to his Dem opponent.
"I think part of the rightists’ problem is being poorly informed."
We had an elderly woman canvasing for democrats at our door today. I engaged her a little bit, mainly because I was concerned I had missed the fact that Madison had an election Tuesday. But no, she was just out because of the "dire" (her word) political situation. She was getting the jump on next spring's Wisconsin Supreme Court election. If we elected her preferred candidate, it would flip the court to the liberals. The court is already majority-liberal, I told her. She didn't believe me.
“And Fuentes will never be a candidate for anything. And if, for some bizarre reason it happens, I’ll donate to his Dem opponent.”
Well, good! I didn’t think he would ever run for anything though. His connection to conservatism is bad enough.
Those of you who oppose a third term, what if it was Trump vs. Obama? Worth changing the constitution for. (via CFP)
25% of NYC are immigrants who dont speak English. Yet they vote. And needless to say, NYC does ZERO to make sure illegal aliens and non-citizens don't vote. ZERO.
But this is the country 'muricans wanted. Kam Harris - like the Labour Party in the UK and leftists all over the world - is pushing for 16-17 y/o's to vote. Partly because People of color are a majority of young people, and mostly because 16/17 y/o's are ignorant and zero idea how the real world works - and will fall for anything.
I dont think Mandingo will do anything. But, he's a preview of coming attractions.
So because Fuentes has a "connection to conservative" - (your words) that means what, Inag? Everyone needs to jump on board with the corrupt left?

I believe you can thank Obama and Biden for that. What did Biden call it? Oh yeah a big fuckin' deal.
The Constitution opposes a third term. End of story.
I think you’re onto something @6:45pm, narciso!
The Left LOVES it when those on the Conservative/Rightwing cancel each other and fight among themselves. But the neo-cons and so-called "True Conservatives" cant help themselves.
For some reason they're yelling and screeching about cancelling the Heritage Foundation, Nick Fuentes and Tucker, instead of just going "Oh yeah, well I disagree with those guys on X, but we need to defeat the real enemy.. the left".
Notice the Left, never does this. But the Right just can't help themselves. Either because they're grifters who don't really care about their so-called conservativism, or they're plain stupid and want to lose.
I never said Johnson was a strong strong man, just that he wasn’t a wimp like McCarthy. Don’t let false dichotomies undermine your arguments…
I also don’t think he’s scared of Trump at all - merely in alignment with his policies, as we saw with Pelosi and Obama.
...."I think part of the rightists’ problem is being poorly informed. ...."
So, let me get this straight. You and your compadres devote your efforts to labeling the Heritage Foundation a 'fringe' group with 'radical ideas' and name it as an 'authoritarian bunch of crackpots', and then because I haven't made a study of them to become an expert, I'm not sufficiently well-informed on 'fringe groups' and that's part of the problem with Conservatism?
OK, then.
’His connection to conservatism is bad enough.’
No argument there. I don’t know too much about him, other than what you’ve posted and a few references on X. I don’t think anyone should be cancelled, but he does not represent me at all…
DC Mayor Announces City-Wide Curfew After Teenagers Create Mayhem
"Our Government lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to pay SNAP with certain monies we have available, and now two Courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can and cannot do," Trump said in a post on his social media platform Friday evening.
"If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay," Trump said, referring to the shifting of funds that has been used to pay troops as the shutdown has stretched on.

Har har. A Canadian team hasn’t won the frozen-sport championship in over 30 years. But you’re kinda right, the American teams win with (mostly) Canuck players.
’Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana’
Maybe they’re sneaking the measles vaccine into our Moon Pies?
I guess Fuentes has a right to his opinion, however misguided he might be. I suspect Kevin Roberts would not cancel Igna either for her litany of sordid, evil, most likely legal opinions.
@Clyde 8:26, it took me way to long to get it - even with the hint.
Yeah baby back from the races, kind of chalky overall for a BREEDERS CUP but FOREVER YOUNG in the house. I bet him AT 4-1 where he was on the edge as an underlay for me and did drop to 7-2 at last but paid $9 to WIN and a generous $59.60 exacta which I scored multiple times on the win and exacta. The Japanese are training and racing good horses and it set up exactly as I saw it in the form, lay back off speed and push up through the stretch, beautiful like ART! I cashed in 2 Races ,love the Sprint winner and had 3 races where i was 1st and 3rd and 1 race 1st and 4th(gimmicks will do that to ya) but my handicapping was spot on. Only one race hard to figure winner and he paid $50 plus to win. There are usually many more races that have big payouts like I said all 9 races except one pretty logical. My wife away at dance competition with my grand daughter will catch nice VIG when she gets back home from the 4 day adventure. I'll put my padded bankroll away until early 26 and I'll start Looking at derby contenders for MAY race. Nice getting away from all the political hate and rhetoric always flowing. There is LIFE beyond all of it although you wouldn't think so the way the North and South carry on with each other, sad .FOREVER YOUNG YEAH BABY! Days of hard work really paid dividends. Beaucoup Dinky Dau day.
Changing = amending. Begining of story.
“Maybe they’re sneaking the measles vaccine into our Moon Pies?”
You’ll have your answer if/when the citizens of the region complete the triad with drinkin’ RC Cola and barkin’ at teh fuckin’ Moon.
Haven’t seen an RC Cola in a long time, but have attended the (original) Mardi Gras festivities, including Joe Cain Day, in Mobile where they drop a ten foot illuminated Moon Pie like they do with the NYC New Year’s ball.
Barkin’ at the moon is certainly implied at those parties… :)
Italiacto!
Inag will wait at the bar, as she gives Candace Owens the up and down.
Yeah. How many times has Inga told us we should start listening to Candace Owens?
And how the rest of us know Owens' crackpot opinions are no different than Carlson and Fuentes ....
I’m not making extra innings… lol
Beasts of England… 👍
If Inger ever had an original thought, it was strangled at birth.
Along those lines, William Blake summed up the Democratic Party platform when he wrote, “rather strangle an infant in its cradle, then nurse unacted desires.” They want your children for sex, mutilation and slavery. The men all think they’re women and the women are all lesbian. And they all look like Shrek
The Dems are running a man for Attorney General of the State of Virginia who said he'd like to shoot his political opponent in the head and then shoot his two children in front of their mother. But we should disciss Nick Fuentes who I never heard of and who is not running for Attorney General of any state for the Republicans. But we have to feel responsible for Fuentes and talk about him and not talk about the man the Dems are running for the highest law office in Virginia.. "Squirrel!"
With Fuentes or any other Nazi-loving antisemite slithering out into public view, we should argue against him, as the Heritage Foundation said, rather than cancel him. The general public needs to be reminded of what the Nazis were and did. But I'm not going to do that here and now because I have no idea what Fuentes really says. And I have no idea why Tucker Carlson has become ... eccentric. There's loads and piles of stuff I don't know. Tons and tons.
I do know the Attorney General of Virginia shouldn't talk about shooting political opponents but the Dems are going to overlook that. 'Cause he agrees with them
The Oakland Athletics and San Francisco Giants competed against one another in the World Series for the first time in 1989—but the Series would be remembered for a different reason. Shortly before the scheduled start of game three, the largest Bay Area earthquake since 1906 occurred.

whoa nellie. We gotta barn burner in Toronto.
Please, not another fucking 18 inning game!
God, I hate the Dodgers
I’ll make 10, but Blue Jays need to put it away.
"If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay," Trump said.
I assume this is not going to happen because there are at least one or two people left in D.C. who can think at least one step ahead, but it would be hysterical if some self-righteous and dim-witted district court judge gave Trump the ability to open only those parts of the government he wanted to open . . . for the next 3.5 years!!!
Great game, but I gotta do things tommorrow AM. I'll see who won in the AM. Good night, and good luck Dodgers.
The Dodgers pitcher requires an interpreter to talk to the coach?
The road team won five of the seven games of the World Series.
amazing game
Dodgers avoided disaster so many times the last 3 innings
The 1989 quake caught me at the old B.Daltons bookstore.
It was interesting.
I then I got a call from my aunt (I had a new and then- rare Motorola cell phone) telling me to rescue my great uncle from his collapsed apartment building in the Marina. Which I did, luckily the taxis and trains were running, so I could get him to Palo Alto.
What a kick in teh huevos for the Blue Jay fans. Yamamoto
is one tough SOB!
Fuentes' grandfather is Mexican, hence the name. I assume he's a mestizo like most Mexicans.
Not the obvious background for a racist.
The Dodgers are the first National League team to win back-to-back World Series since the Big Red Machine in 1975, which is the first World Series I can remember seeing!
That ‘89 quake, Full Moon… I was approximately 100 miles from the epicenter and I had to go down to one knee to avoid hurling, the Earth was shaking so bad.

“For graduate school, Seales says, “I shot for the moon. I couldn’t imagine anything better than to be at Wisconsin.” Strapped for money when he applied to the university, he prayed it would “just let me work and pay my own way.” Unlike other schools, the UW gave him a four-year guarantee of funding.“
lol Begley. Wisconsin>Nebraska but please let's not pretend it's an intellectual powerhouse... nobody buys what you are selling.
Well the Canadian baseball team comes up short. I find it mildly amusing two stars for the U.S. team are of Japanese decent as Trump recently visited the island nation. Also note the recent idiocy of Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford towards Trump. Cry in your beer Doug. Trump should sent Ford a love note.
Huntingdon train stabbing latest: Both suspects British as police say ‘nothing to suggest’ attack was terrorism"
"There is ‘nothing to suggest’ the knife attack on a train between Doncaster and London was motivated by terrorism, British Transport Police said.
In a press conference on Sunday morning, the force revealed two suspects, who were arrested by armed officers within eight minutes of the first 999 call, were two British men in their 30s.
Two people are still fighting for their lives in hospital after a man armed with a large knife started stabbing people on a London-bound train in Cambridgeshire.
A 32-year-old Black British national and a 35-year-old British national of Caribbean descent were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder."

I need it.
As many of you know, I have metastasized prostate cancer.
My healthcare provider, Kaiser of Northern California, has approved my application to receive a newly FDA-approved drug called Pluvicto. But they have dropped the ball in scheduling the brief IV to administer it and I can’t seem to fix that.
I am declining fast. I will ask President Trump if he can get Kaiser of Northern California to respond and schedule it for Monday. That will give me a fighting chance to stick around on this planet a little bit longer.
It is not a cure, but it does give good results to many people."

Nobody in the world is stopping you from prying your wallet open. You strike me as the kind of person that would hand a begger a five and then proceed to tell them exactly how to spend it.
We have a family friend who was in the running for Mrs.California in the fall of ‘89. She was staying at a high rise hotel in San Francisco when the ‘quake hit. She said it was quite a scary ride up there, lol.
