I just read a biography of Napoleon III. Now there's a guy that screwed up a lot of things. He initiated the French Indochina Empire so you can say that we have him to blame for Vietnam. He didn't initiate Algeria, but he put down several revolts with maximum brutality. That's still costing France to this day. They've got several million Algerian immigrants who have ever reason to hate and distrust the French. His supreme high screw up was declaring war on Prussia. That ended very badly for the French and enabled Bismarck to unify the German state. So I guess you can put WWI and WWII in Napoleon III's debit column.....On the plus side, he hired and supported Haussmann who made Paris the City of Light. But all in all, not much of a record. People are always going back in time to kill Hitler, but there are better targets.
Kamala Harris' "blackent" is horribly racist. It's how an Indian imitates the way they think black people speak - in a kind of dumb fashion where all the words are slightly misspelled. She only does it in front of black audiences. It's her Indian version of American Ebonics.
More news from the fake political campaign being waged by Kamala Harris and the corrupt Democrats.
Ads touting the Philadelphia Eagles endorsing Harris are "counterfeit political advertisements" according to team officials. The ads are prominently displayed only in areas likely to attract low-information black NFL fans like bus stops and other mass transit locations frequented by poor black people.
The ads provide a link to the official Eagles website where they sign up new voters, but the endorsement is fake, the team says. The Philadelphia Eagles organization has not endorsed Kamala Harris. She's a fake candidate in a rigged election. She's never won a single primary and her "nomination" was held secretly.
CBS has a story up. Google it if you want. I'm not providing a link to their trash "news" site.
"Waves of dirt bikes, all-terrain vehicles and motorcycles swarmed San Francisco and Oakland streets over the weekend and roared across the Bay Bridge, stirring up controversy and frustration among residents.
While dirt bike groups frequently overwhelm Bay Area streets, a massive ride on Sunday appeared to be organized, with a similar ride happening last spring.
Some social media accounts appeared to advertise the event, dubbed “Bay Day.” According to a post from BayAreaBikelife, the fourth annual event included a raffle with prizes and free food.
The San Francisco and Oakland police departments did not comment on whether they knew about the gathering before it occurred. Mark Andrews, a spokesperson for the California Highway Patrol, told SFGATE that the agency was not aware.
“We did not have any intel, as far as I know, about this incident,” he said."
More at the link, which also shows the social media post for "Bay Day."
"Blaccent" is slang for how a non-black person can put on a black accent. Kamala is black but her accent is indistinguishable from standard white accents among all races born and raised in California's large population centers. Y'all hear what you want to hear, Dix.
RFK Jr. is 100% correct. Our government is immoral. It is corrupt. It is authoritarian and tyrannical. It hates the people. It hates the rule of law. And if our nation is going to survive, the regime running this country has to be defeated and destroyed -Sean Davis. Worth a repeat…
If it weren't for Napoleon I, Napoleon III would have been a Corsican sheep herder and we wouldn't have to care about his poor leadership skills. If the English hadn't financed a pan-European campaign to destroy the French revolution, Napoleon wouldn't have been more than a talented mid-level Army officer. If Louis XIV hadn't castrated the nobility by making them live at Versailles...you can go on like this forever.
There's a really interesting show called Origins that does this, not with history, but with technology, taking modern wonders and tracing back key pieces of technology to show, for instance the contribution of stones in a stream in Bronze Age Mesopotamia to modern computers.

Not sure how much of a stink we can make about this given Trump's fake Taylor Swift endorsement. He was joking, but it still takes outrage over fake endorsements off the table.

It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
I may be worried now
But I won’t be worried long

Bay Area law enforcement says stopping dirt bike packs is a 'liability'
"Waves of dirt bikes, all-terrain vehicles and motorcycles swarmed San Francisco and Oakland streets over the weekend and roared across the Bay Bridge, stirring up controversy and frustration among residents.

Via r/walkaway: “Kamala Harris has now started wearing *headphones* when getting out of the motorcade to avoid reporters.”
Not a boomer. No siree Bob.
He had bad bladder stones. Give the guy a break.
Walz was in Wisconsin Labor Day rally today and Evers kept calling him Tom.
Trump asked, “Tom who.”
Another commenter asked “ Is Walz lying about his name now?” For some reason that was super funny to me.
Tampon Tom does have a nice ring to it.
Whatever Melania is doing this Labor Day, its certainly better than being with Trump.

Can anyone imagine Kamala not finishing last on Jeopardy, regardless of categories and contestants?
Funny how that comment is gone and there's no indication that it was deleted by Ann Althouse. It's just gone.
"Blackcent" is when Kamala Harris (an Indian/Jamaican, not an African-American or black) starts talking Ebonics in front of black audiences only.

Judge for yourself. What do you hear?

I hear Ebonics, and an Indian talking down to black people in a fake accent.
Oooh, soory Kuh mal uh, you won’t be around for final jeopardy!
