Bill Crawford said...: Hey Meade, Are you seeing any buses at the Trump rallies?; 10/14/24, 6:58 PM
Dixcus said...: Didn't expect this today: Bill Clinton giving a Georgia audience a rousing speech on why they should reject Kamala Harris and elect instead Donald Trump.

Former President Bill Clinton: "You had a case in Georgia not too long ago. About a young woman who'd been killed by an immigrant. If they'd have all been vetted properly, that probably wouldn't have happened."

Of course, Kamala Harris is the Border Czar of the Biden Administration. She is the one who is supposed to be doing the vetting, but of course, as Clinton points out, they're not doing any vetting.

And young American women are dying because of them. Because of Kamala Harris.

Kinda makes you wonder why any American woman would vote for her.; 10/14/24, 6:59 PM
Dixcus said...: I wonder if Meade is using publicly available cell phone positioning data to determine who exactly is at Kamala Harris' rallies. How many of them have they been to. Are they grouped on vehicles? Are they being transported around to each of her rallies?

Probably not. Meade doesn't seem like a technical type person.

But others are doing that. Technical type people.; 10/14/24, 7:01 PM

“Bad Genes” said...: An armed North Carolina Trump supporter was arrested for threatening FEMA hurricane responders, highlighting political violence in the Biden era.

Trump has been radicalizing his supporters. Now that he’s normalized violence against the government and other citizens he can convince them to do almost anything.; 10/14/24, 7:43 PM
Dixcus said...: Donald Trump didn't radicalize me. You know who did? That guy with the gray hair who boarded up the windows in the vote counting room so that they could steal the election.

I want to find that guy. He radicalized me.; 10/14/24, 7:52 PM
Vance said...: Old Rich here has, let us remember, zero problems at all with Democrats radicalizing their violent supporters against the Supreme Court and Republicans and just plain old Republican voters. Rich cheered, I believe, the far leftist in North Dakota who ran over and killed a teenage boy because he thought the boy was a Trump voter. That didn't bother Rich or Inga any....; 10/14/24, 8:04 PM
Eva Marie said...: The news today is that “Christopher Columbus was Jewish, DNA experts concluded in a long-awaited investigation into the true origins of one of history’s most famous explorers.”
In 1973 Simon Wiesenthal (Nazi hunter ) wrote Sails of Hope: The Secret Mission of Christopher Columbus.
According to one of the reviews of the book on Amazon:
“The real story about Columbus, that you wont find in other history books. Of course, you know that the Italian discoverer didn't speak any Italian, came from a Jewish family in Cologne, Germany, and was trying to find a safe haven for Jews, not a short cut to the West Indies or America.”
The book isn’t available on kindle. Hardback is being sold for over $500.; 10/14/24, 8:05 PM
Vance said...: And I don't think Rich had anything bad to say about an agent of the State calling for the execution of all Trump voters. That professor is one of Rich's heroes, most likely.

And Rich didn't have anything to say when some of his good buddies firebombed the Powerline Blog guys offices in Minnesota. Just like Walz had nothing to say either.; 10/14/24, 8:08 PM
Jim at said...: An armed North Carolina Trump supporter ...

I read the article and nowhere does it even hint the guy was a Trump supporter.

Being angry at slack-assed federal employees isn't confined to one party, boy. Chances are this guy doesn't even vote at all.; 10/14/24, 8:10 PM
“Bad Genes” said...: The NFL and Major League Baseball are running ads calling for a "Timeout Against Hate." Should Trump be offered free airtime to give a rebuttal?; 10/14/24, 8:15 PM
Original Mike said...: "I read the article and nowhere does it even hint the guy was a Trump supporter."

Holy Cow, it doesn't, does it!

I have a low view of Rich's opinions, but I did not consider him a bald-faced liar. I shall update my database to include this new information.; 10/14/24, 8:18 PM
traditionalguy said...: Christopher Columbus has long been known to be a Jew. The Pope’s guys tried to pretend he was Spanish.

Glen Reynolds has a great article on this over on Substack.; 10/14/24, 8:19 PM
Narr said...: I had a great time with the other old wargaming farts in Belgium. Five days exploring the Waterloo Campaign battles and marches, often on back roads and farm tracks, by car and on foot, in superb weather for it.

It was wet and cold the day we drove through Namur on the way to Bastogne, and was mostly wet and cold for the two days we were thereabouts. The Namur fortress itself was amazing, but we didn't have much time to spend there, or at Eben Emael outside Liege later (a few hours each).

The privately run and public museums in Bastogne were outstanding, and at Waterloo the museum they built for the bicentennial was also very fine--there was a fairly small and tatty museum there in '78 IIRC.

Belgium has clearly decided to capitalize on its heritage as the cockpit of Europe, and the crown jewel is Waterloo. The military museum in Brussels is worth a visit if you like that sort of thing.

The food and drink were excellent and the people friendly, but what is it with duvet bedcovers? What's wrong with honest topsheets and blankets as needed? Duvets are all or nothing--sweating beneath them or being cold above them are the only modes, and I don't like the weight.; 10/14/24, 8:20 PM
Original Mike said...: "but what is it with duvet bedcovers?"

One of life's mysteries.; 10/14/24, 8:23 PM

The rule of Lemnity said...: Headline: "CBS Backs Gayle King for Informing Author Ta-Nehisi Coates of Topics Before Controversial Interview"

They sandbag their own news man?

It's like after Charlie Rose went down with #metoo allegations, Gail King is the boss, fresh with a new contract to prove it.; 10/14/24, 8:28 PM
Michael K said...: We were there in 2015 and just missed a big terrorist attack in Brussels. Waterloo was great.; 10/14/24, 8:31 PM
The rule of Lemnity said...: Headline: "Indigenous Peoples Day celebrated with an eye on the election"

Joe Biden was unavailable for comment.; 10/14/24, 8:38 PM

traditionalguy said...: Meanwhile the NFL battle of New York is vicious with up state Buffalo leading the New Jersey Jets. Aaron Rogers is throwing it perfectly but he ain’t beating Buffalo’s QB.; 10/14/24, 8:45 PM
Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U said...: Bich is Maddow. A lying liar who lies. Or perhaps Rolling Stone Magazine. No credibility; 10/14/24, 8:49 PM
Original Mike said...: Once you've been caught lying, that's pretty much it.; 10/14/24, 8:51 PM
Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U said...: "Howell said that while Ashe County didn’t get any threats, FEMA suspended operations in some areas “out of an abundance of caution” to assess the potential risk. "

LOL/ Cautions. Those poor poor Fema gov employees. Under such stress.; 10/14/24, 8:51 PM
Original Mike said...: You know, like, 'I'm a conservative Republican'.; 10/14/24, 8:53 PM

Iman said...: Herr Biden did a masterful job of radicalizing people with his September 2022 Leni Riefenstahl/NSDAP inspired speech, the rotter.; 10/14/24, 8:56 PM
Original Mike said...: And, Trump's performance at rallies shows him to be feeble and cognitively impaired. Lies.; 10/14/24, 8:56 PM

Flashback:

Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U said...: Inside America’s Fastest-Growing Criminal Enterprise: Sex Trafficking.

At the barbecue joint off Route 75 in Dallas, Lisa pulls out her phone to show me the dozen or so online platforms that traffickers and pimps use to sell girls for sex. The platforms—which include apps like TikTok, OnlyFans, and Facebook—are chockablock with ads of women, usually wearing lingerie, their faces covered to prevent anyone guessing their age. The sheer number of ads is astonishing. “Each week, we track over 12,000 ads for women in Houston, 2,600 in San Antonio, 3,500 in Austin, and 14,000 in Dallas,” says Lisa.

I ask her if the sex trafficking of migrant girls had increased since the Biden administration threw open the border, leading to 8 million migrants crossing the southern border since 2021. “Yes,” she says. “Nearly all of my sex-trafficking rings now are migrant girls. The ads exploded within the first three months of the border being open. We started noticing new sites and ads in Spanish. That was very few before. Then sites dedicated to Latino girls popped up everywhere.” Since the border opened, Lisa added, over 90 percent of the ads are for migrant girls.

“If I wanted to, I could order a girl within 15 minutes,” Lisa says. “It’s that easy.”; 10/14/24, 9:28 PM
