rehajm said...: Rough outing to the grocery store this morning- it began with joy of the sight right inside the door- an end cap for snickerdoodle twix. An opportunity to score points back home- dashed when I discovered they stuffed it with peanut m&ms and some snickers… eff you. Keep going. Specific egg brand on the list- twelve large for twelve large 😳. Coup de grace- at home the discovery of the largest bottle of woolite dark man has ever created, fell over rounding the roundabout and spent the next twenty minutes of the trip home gurgling down into the bowels underneath the load floor, beneath the jack, under the suspension compressor. Some kind of white insulator around the compressor acted like a diaper and trapped some soap but far from all. Two boxes of microfiber cloths later I think I have it contained. I’d like to pull the compressor but JLR had a kitchen sink strategy with all the fasteners. Three cycles in the washer to try and rinse out the diaper because LR doesn’t recognize the part number…I think it might be salvageable. Can’t say the same for the styrofoam what held the jack 🙁…; 10/7/25, 6:46 PM

1) Air traffic controllers are essential workers & remain employed during shutdowns.

2) CA’s Senators, both Democrats, are filibustering the bill to open the government. That’s why there’s a shutdown. Newsom supports them doing so, while blaming Trump.

3) Every R Congressman from CA voted to fund the government. Every CA Democrat voted no.

Once again the political lunatics have escaped the asylum; once again they’re running for office; once again they may win. Try as I might to pretend that it’s all in good fun, it has recently become incredibly obvious that it is not, and it needs to be addressed. Folks, it’s a one-topic Carnival this week.

wildswan said...: Pigs Fly - A Trump supporter watches CBS News in the time of Bari Weiss.

I watched three segmants of CBS Evening News today and I was astounded to see even-handed, informative coverage. I didn't think Bari could get going so soon. For example, in the coverage of October 7 memorials in Israel, the news mentioned the casualties of the Gaza which it said were obtained from the "Hamas controlled" Palestinian Health Authority, That's the first time I've seen a major outlet acknowlege Hamas control of these figures,
Then there was a discussion of the Colorado case on the banning of conversion therapy which had a segment discussing conversion therapy as used against gays, a practice this law would ban. Next it had a gender therapist who argued for the practice but her own words made it plain that minors are being targeted by those advocating for changing genders.
Then there was a discussion of ICE in Chicago which nade it plain that the National Guard was being sent to protect ICE facilities while it also presented figures showing that these deployments include about 25% immigration arrests. (The story did not discuss whether these arrests were based on criminal warrants other than immigration status. )
Trump was mentioned this way: President Trump has ordered the National Guard ....
The stories included a lot of "advocates on this side say this while advocates on that side say that." You know, news. And Hitler has left the building - I didn't hear him mentioned once.; 10/7/25, 8:18 PM

Paddy O said...: Althouse, back in 2018 you highlighted Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata. Part of the reason I visit here regularly is those kinds of posts because they expose me to things I wouldn't likely find in my other places. That post got me thinking and connecting to other things I was working on, and became part of a presentation I did later that year at a theology conference.

After a long while of sitting in my folders, it was published as an online essay. Whenever I read through it, I think of this blog.

Keldonric said...: @Peachy

Under 31 U.S.C. § 3302(b) — the Miscellaneous Receipts Statute — all money received for the government, including tariffs, must be deposited into the Treasury’s general fund and can’t be spent without a Congressional appropriation.

Tariff collections are recorded as customs duties in receipt account 0110 (Customs Duties) within the general fund — they aren’t revolving or trust funds available for Executive use.
The Executive can’t redirect tariff revenue to WIC or any other program.

WIC’s current funding comes from USDA carryover balances and an OMB-approved contingency reserve, not tariffs.
Even if Congress later drew on tariff receipts, it would appear as a regular outlay in an Appropriations Act, not a direct reallocation of customs revenue.

Has there been a request for such an appropriation? That would be a constructive step.; 10/7/25, 8:29 PM

The funny part about these stories is that they claim that the Patriot only became ineffective recently. Anybody following sources that don't base their reporting on official announcements out of Kiev knows that Russian missiles have been mostly getting through since day one.

The press is so full of lies, but I guess it's like what Churchill said, "The truth in war is so precious, it must be protected by a bodyguard of lies." Well, I think that the European public has been lied to massively. Maybe I am wrong, time will tell.; 10/7/25, 8:53 PM

Jupiter said...: Alright, I admit it. I am mad. As in, mentally deranged.
We made marinara, from fresh tomatoes and herbs, so there is a big sprig of fresh basil left on the counter. And I decided to make garlic bread, so I started melting some butter, and pressing garlic into it. But since the basil was right there -- what the heck. So there's some basil in it.

But. Then, it turned out there is no Italian bread, nor even French. So. Casting sanity to the winds, I set the oven to preheating to 350, and started thawing some rye bread. This is that top-of-the-slide moment. Here we go.; 10/7/25, 9:01 PM

The only reason I do 40 mins on the bike or treadmill is I have COPD and I need to exercise my lungs as much as possible. My wife says it's the best thing I have done since we hit our 70's.

Jupiter said...: At dinner, my son asked my opinion on the recent TRO (the first one) by Judge Karen Immergut, restraining the Trump administration from using the Oregon National Guard to enforce the law in Portland. Having read the opinion, I explained that on the whole, I found her arguments persuasive. She said that the plaintiffs (State of Oregon, etc.) were likely to prevail on the merits, and that the action contemplated by the administration, which would violate the sovereignty of the State of Oregon, and also the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, would necessarily constitute irreparable harm. Given that this is merely a temporary restraining order, I think her position is strong, and her opinion is well-argued. The one issue I have is that she seems to have made a finding of fact, that nothing untoward is taking place in Portland. In fact, the municipal government is routinely refusing to enforce the rule of law, and is effectively colluding with a criminal organization, to violate the rights of American citizens. The mayor, the City Council, and the Chief of Police are all criminals, and should be arrested, tried, convicted, and imprisoned. For long terms.; 10/7/25, 10:32 PM

This is fully in keeping with the view that, while there are a great many worthless shit-sack foreign vermin on the bench, appointed by the criminal Obama and Biden regimes, defiance of duly appointed judges, however contemptible they may be, is defiance of law, and the Trump administration respects the rule of law.

Wallace framed her report on the burned-down house as coming “amid a surge in hostility and threats against judges” who have moved to obstruct Trump’s agenda.

SC State Law Enforcement Division Chief Mark Keel said in a statement: “At this time, there is no evidence to indicate the fire was intentionally set. SLED agents have preliminarily found there is no evidence to support a pre-fire explosion.”

effinayright said...: Jupiter, you and your son should introduce yourselves to the Insurrection Act of 1792. The "one issue" you have doubts about actually goes to the heart of the legal case against the state of Oregon:

0 U.S.C. § 251 (formerly 331) - Federal aid for State governments:

"Whenever there is an insurrection in any State against its government, the President may, upon the request of its legislature or of its governor if the legislature cannot be convened, call into Federal service such of the militia of the other States, in the number requested by that State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to suppress the insurrection."

10 U.S.C. § 252 (formerly 332) - Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority:

"Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion."

10 U.S.C. § 253 (formerly 333) - Interference with State and Federal law:

"The President may use militia or armed forces to suppress insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy if it hinders execution of laws and deprives people of constitutional rights that state authorities are unable, fail, or refuse to protect, or if it opposes or obstructs execution of United States laws."

10 U.S.C. § 254 (formerly 334) - Proclamation to disperse:

Before using military force, the President must issue a proclamation ordering insurgents to disperse and return peaceably to their homes within a limited time.

The original 1792 Militia Act was the foundation, but the current law reflects multiple amendments over more than two centuries."; 10/8/25, 12:35 AM

Ronald J. Ward said...: Not meaning to be insulting or disrespectful but in light of what many are calling an authoritarian movement, it might be wise to step back and unpack Jupiter’s comment at 10:32 PM. On display is a classic “my side/your side” framing, where reasoning starts from allegiance rather than analysis. Notice how the tone shifts from an initially balanced, legal evaluation of Judge Immergut’s restraining order — discussing “persuasive arguments” and “irreparable harm” — to a sweeping moral indictment of the entire Portland city government as “criminals” who should be “arrested, tried, convicted, and imprisoned.”

That’s the pivot point where ideological grooming or worldview reinforcement becomes visible. It’s not just that Jupiter disagrees; it’s that the disagreement escalates into total moral condemnation — implying that lawful governance opposing Trump is criminal. That leap doesn’t emerge from legal reasoning; it comes from narrative conditioning — an internalized “us vs. them” worldview that casts dissenting authority as illegitimate or corrupt.

That’s an important pivot. It’s no longer a debate about the merits of a legal decision, but a declaration that any opposition to one leader or administration is inherently corrupt or criminal. When disagreement itself becomes proof of guilt, we’ve left the realm of law and entered the realm of loyalty.

I’d invite anyone reading — whichever side you lean toward — to think about how easily that mindset can erode the very constitutional limits and due process we all depend on.; 10/8/25, 6:45 AM

If we can’t examine how that kind of thinking creeps into our politics — and sometimes even into our own language — then we’re just reinforcing the same division that’s shreading our Constitution and tearing this country apart in real time.; 10/8/25, 7:16 AM

Leland said...: What are the “hostility and threats against judge”? Are they from the Administration or people? For instance, Charlie Kirk received all sorts of threats and ultimately hostility from people, but Democrats claim they had nothing to do with it. That is setting aside Democrats running for AG positions in various states and their threats of hostility, because obviously that came to light in the public later. Also setting aside the convicted would be assassin of 3 Supreme Court Justices and comments by Chuck Schumer regarding “reaping the whirlwind”, which actually would suggest a connection between what politicians casually say that might influence people to do hostile acts against justices and judges.; 10/8/25, 7:35 AM

To bail them out with 10 billion dollars of our tax revenue. That's right.

wildswan said...: The farmers are being assisted with the tariff money, not the tax money. The tariffs are in place to rectfy huge trade imbalances. China is trying to keep that imbalance going by striking at the farmers so as to create a constituency against the tariffs. And the US tariff money is being used to finance assistance to the farmers so as to defeat that Chinese effort. Then, once trade is evened out the tariffs will go and markets will be in charge again.

It's not easy to correct the consequences of the years of drift that the American elite condemned us to. They sold all our manufacturing and they are now living on the income from investing the money they got from the sale and financing NGOs to quell the rising anger over that basic sin. For all the years 1945-1999 manufacturing and construction were the largest employers is the US. After the 1990s they were suddenly 14 and 15th. Hospitality and health care became the big employers. Trump made his money in construction and he saw first hand the economic destruction and he is acting on our behalf. The grimy anarcho-Commies in Portland and elsewhere are playing fantasy revolution but the reality is they are the sword and shield of those who sold America. Check out their paymasters, you will find the NGOs founded by the elite; check out the source of the elite money and you will find the "elite" are epigoni living on the investmented money made by sale of their family manufacturing business to overseas businesses.; 10/8/25, 9:22 AM
