I want to write about Robert Frost and the road not taken in the snowy woods.

narciso...tell me the perps can outrun the cops without telling me the perps can outrun the cops.
I gave blood today. I was never exposed to/contracted CMV (cytomegalovirus) that young children get because I grew up somewhat isolated on a farm, though I did manage to catch the usual childhood diseases growing up. Therefore my blood is given to the babies. Donors who had CMV (cytomegalovirus) cannot have their blood given to babies.
The Red Cross lets me know which area of the country gets my donation. Most of the time it's Chicago or out East. There's a blood shortage now...give if you can.
So i feel less concerned about them going after agent
So Trump is sending his envoy to Iran, which if it's anything like the last time, means that he is trying to lull them into dropping their guard, and is planning an attack to kill the people he is purportedly negotiating with.
It worked in Qatar, well, they didn't get who they wanted, but did manage to kill the bodyguards of the people we were negotiating with, and it worked in the 12 Day War, where we managed to kill politicians we were negotiating with and nuclear scientists because we had their phone numbers since they were cooperating with the International Atomic Energy Agency. Let's see if third time's the charm, and we manage to kill their Supreme Leader while we pretend to negotiate with him.
What Trump is demanding is that Iran drop all of its ability to protect itself from a country that attacked them without provocation during a pretense of negotiations. In other words, the demands are a poison pill, intended to be impossible for Iran to accept, so that Trump has his pretext for a war.
Let's see what happens when we back Iran into a corner where the very structure of their ancient country is at existential risk.
The part about delaying to upgrade the air defenses of our allies in the region is especially rich, who knew that the only reason that Trump wanted to end the Ukraine war was because it was eating up too many Patriot systems and interceptor missiles.
So basically both sides continue to arm up.
So far the Bruce Springsteen movie is a nothingburger. It makes him seem even more inconsequential than before. So he probably won't be taking home the Nobel Prize anytime soon.

“During an extended monologue about immigration on a podcast released on Monday by Dan Bongino, his former deputy F.B.I. director, Mr. Trump called for Republican officials to “take over” voting procedures in 15 states, though he did not name them.
“The Republicans should say, ‘We want to take over,’” he said. “We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many — 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”
Mr. Trump’s escalated remarks about elections come at a moment when Democrats have outperformed the G.O.P. in a series of contests. New Jersey and Virginia elected Democratic governors in landslides in November, and on Saturday, a Democrat won a special election for a Texas State Senate seat by 14 percentage points in a district Mr. Trump had carried by 17 points in 2024, an enormous swing.”
Today in Omaha, the illegal alien killer of Sarah Root got the max sentence of 20 years. He was drag racing on a major street (about 5 miles from my office) and killed her.
This was 2016. Sarah was 21. She had just graduated from Bellevue University with a 4.0.
Trump met with her mom and other Angel Moms. Sarah’s Law was passed.
When Trump got back into office, the killer was tracked down in Central America and brought back. I’m sure the State Department worked on this. Biden did nothing.
Sarah might have joined my youngest at the University of MN Law School as they are about the same age.
Sarah’s death really shook me up. Trump brought the killer back. Totally worth voting for Trump. Man of action! Vigor in the Executive.
The Left claims that people without criminal records are being deported. So what? This killer didn’t have a criminal record before he killed Sarah Root. I know that as the county court judge set a small bail. He made bail and fled the country.
Deport them all.

If you stand in a room, you radiate IR at the walls. But the walls also radiate IR at you. But if the walls are cold, they don't radiate as much IR. Which is why you feel cold when the walls are cold, even if the air is heated.
When you are outside, you are radiating into the surroundings, whatever they are. But at night, upwards, your surroundings are the Universe. And the Universe is not radiating much back at you. At all. This is why wearing a hat helps a lot.
But this evening, I had some things to think about, and I wandered outside without a hat. My planetary avatar is high in the East, with Castor and Pollux. And I found found my thoughts clearing, congealing, perhaps. It occurred to me, that I was cooling my brains with the Universe.
Just point the top of your head at the Universe. It cools right down.
The Spanish word for ice is "hielo". Pronounced "yellow", with the h silent. But "frozen" is "conjelado", with the j sounding like English h. I suspect that English congeal and Spanish hielo have a common Latin root. It would be cheating to look it up.
I no longer listen to Megyn Kelly because she's gone all Owens, but before she did that, she had an obviously correct point to make: regardless of the relative crime rates of illegal aliens versus citizens*, literally none of the crimes committed by illegal aliens would have been our problem to contend with if they haven't been here.
* As to crime rates. If crimes are committed against other illegal aliens who fear removal, what are the reporting rates? If the pro-no-deportation side can claim that a reduction in the rate of domestic violence reporting is a sign of people's fear of drawing attention to themselves, then why wouldn't that same metric apply to reporting rates for other crimes committed against them?

Let's see what happens when we back Iran into a corner where the very structure of their ancient country is at existential risk.
Persia is a very ancient country. The islamist theocracy ruling Persia is a very modern abomination. Installed by our peace and justice loving President Jimmy Carter. I see you have confused the two. Learn some history.
Jamie, the idea that deporting illegals reduces "crime" is dubious, unless you suppose that they will be less disposed to crime in the place where they were misbegotten than they are here. Deporting them just makes them commit their crimes in the countries they came from, rather than here.
The reality is, that we don't want them here. And since we can get rid of them, we intend to do so. Speaking for myself, I don't want Gavin Newsome here, either, and if I could arrange his deportation, I would. But there is no foreign country that is required to accept Gavin Newsome, more's the pity. He would be a real ornament to CECOT.

“the idea that deporting illegals reduces ‘crime’ is dubious”
Sorry, don’t understand this point.
Deporting people who commit crimes - by the necessity of being here illegally, at a minimum - reduces crime in the US.
"So Trump is sending his envoy to Iran, which if it's anything like the last time, means that he is trying to lull them into dropping their guard, and is planning an attack to kill the people he is purportedly negotiating with."
Yep. We're no longer a civilized country. Everyone who negotiates with us has to worry about being murdered.

I gave blood today. I was never exposed to/contracted CMV (cytomegalovirus)...
According to the Red Cross I've donated 203 times since moving to NY in 1994. Apparently they can't pull up the donations in the other 5 or 6 states I've donated in over the years. And today is the first time I've heard of CMV (cytomegalovirus). Apparently they test donated blood pn a regular (but random) basis. Estimates are only 15% of the adult population over 40 have never had it- and most are unaware that they had it. I don't know if 1. They've never tested me or 2. They tested and I had antibodies.
But they may not care so much about that since I switched to donating platelets a few years back. Tomorrow will be my 4th platelet donation of 2026.
Good on you for donating your special blood. Hope you max out each year in donations. When I was giving whole blood that was easy for me to do. 26 max a calendar year for platelets- a little harder to achieve. Even being retired now.
Two good reasons for giving blood if you can. 1. You are literally saving lives. 2. It's good for you. There are many reasons why it is good for you.

I wish Trump would just stick to his knitting because fighting Israel's wars instead of putting America first, like he promised is going to cost him big time, when he should be enjoying triumph after triumph.

“PARIS (AP) — French prosecutors raided the offices of Elon Musk’s social media platform X on Tuesday as part of a preliminary investigation into a range of alleged offences, including spreading child sexual abuse images and deepfakes.
The investigation was opened in January last year by the prosecutors’ cybercrime unit, the Paris prosecutors’ office said in a statement. It’s looking into alleged “complicity” in possessing and spreading pornographic images of minors, sexually explicit deepfakes, denial of crimes against humanity and manipulation of an automated data processing system as part of an organized group, among other charges.”
Elon Musk, who claimed Epstein begged him to come to his island. Emails show it was Musk who did the begging. Now this, truth is finding its way out. Of course there will always be the hardcore followers who deny truth even when slapped in the face with it.
Jaq: “ That's fine with me, but I have a further suggestion, how about we don't bomb their countries, sanction them into poverty”
We have experimented with leaving their countries alone. They tend to turn into cesspits from which masses of invaders swarm our gates anyway.

2/2/26, 9:46 PM
Let’s play “What’s True And What Isn’t True”.
”Noah- just like you- lied about Trump visiting Pedo Island”
Did Trump in fact visit Pedo Island?
The fact is, we don’t know. Trump says he hasn’t but that “Trump says” is far from a closed case. To Trump’s credit, no flight records or proof has appeared.
Did Noah “lie” about it?
No, that would be factually false. Noah said; “Trump wants Song of the Year as much as he “wants Greenland”—which makes sense, “because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out on with Bill Clinton.”
Noah’s joke was not necessarily asserting a proven fact so much as using satire to comment on Trump’s past association with Epstein. Comedians often blur lines between insinuation and fact for humor, which is why legal experts say it’s not straightforward defamation if it’s clearly a joke. See NYT v Sullivan or Hustler Magazine v. Falwell.
Will Trump actually sue?
Fact is, we don’t know.
Unasked but would he win?
Fact is, unlikely based on precedent but again, we don’t know.
Fact- if Trump actually sued Trevor Noah over a joke like this and won a defamation judgment, it would effectively represent a serious contraction of the freedom of speech as we understand it in the U.S. legal system.
“Why is Trump so triggered by Trevor Noah?”
Opinion- other than being a thin skinned egomaniac, the lawsuit threat follows the cash grab tactics we’ve seen with lawsuit settlements with the media and universities. It’s better to settle than to risk further erosion of our constitution and rule of law norms. Just give the bully your lunch money so he won’t burn the cafeteria down.
So now the British press is trying to blame Epstein on Putin, that it was a Russian operation that led British politicians to forward Epstein secret inside information.
To some observers, and I agree, this suggests that British intelligence, just like Israeli intelligence, were connected with Epstein. Putin actually came out smelling like a rose, and the article in the Daily Mail even admits that there is no actual evidence that Putin was behind Epstein, just the perennial reason that people use to accuse Trump, or anybody else they don't like, which is "I wouldn't put it past him."
Jaq said...the only reason that Trump wanted to end the Ukraine war was because it was eating up too many Patriot systems and interceptor missiles.
That's just about the best reason I can imagine for a third party country to try to end a war--that our future ability to help Ukraine defend itself is compromised, so there is no better time than now to make peace.
Did you think otherwise?
Last years news, Inga. Alleged offenses aren't proven offenses.
Your head cat, General Mittens, should have told you that.
Mr T @ 7:53, This is exactly why individual guilt and due process matter. Collective blame solves nothing.
British intelligence is not all its cracked up to be, see tomlinson and steele as examples the former burnt 150-200 of his colleagues the latter was a low grade purveyor of the russian hosx
They are more like the characters that turned up in burn notice
Collective blame is correct. You can say it "solves nothing" only because you are unwilling to take a true diagnosis to its logical conclusion. Doing that is dangerous and scary.
"individual guilt and due process" is just a symbolic cop-out.
Its like burning an effigy.
The 16 year old Epstein (and clients) victim’s diary, if true, horrifying. Rooting for truth.
"Visualize the nurses who are executing (ha) the plan but not posting."
I thought about that the other day. What do you suppose the odds are, that every single nurse that thinks this way has posted a video online? Not very good, I'd think.
Another question- why is nursing attractive as a career to such disgusting people?
"that our future ability to help Ukraine defend itself is compromised, so there is no better time than now to make peace."
This is certainly a logical take, I can't argue with it, but it's not only just Ukraine that is in dire need of air defense batteries and interceptors, it's Israel, Saudi Arabia, Oman, our own bases across the ME, and so just maybe we should stop stirring up hornet's nests everywhere in the world, that would by my take on the situation.
Turns out that offensive missiles are cheap, and interceptors are expensive, and drones are even cheaper, and it's simple arithmetic that the offensive side is going to win, especially in a country that is as huge and mountainous and full of caves as Iran is, or one that takes up 1/6th of the land area of the globe, like Russia does, and offensive missiles are easy to hide.
Supposedly Iran can hide their missiles in civilian looking trucks, which they can then move around at night like a giant game of three cart monte.
Maybe it will be an easy war. Maybe Trump knows about ways around what looks like the plain and simple math of the situation.
Demonization of teachers, now nurses, ah yes, that’s the way the right does things. What group is next?
Hispanics, Haitians, Somalis, Armenians, oh yes they’ve already done those groups, what nationality is next?
Inga- you never root for truth. You root for narrative. You still buy the Smollette hoax, The Russian collusion hoax - all of the narrative driven hoaxes.
The wet market hoax. .and on and on.
She clearly approves of the murdering teachers and nurses or she would say otherwise
"...Another question- why is nursing attractive as a career to such disgusting people? ..."
As the videos prove, it's all about exploiting vulnerability, or at least having the power to.
I would like to know the definition of civil war that doesn't include what has been going on in Ukraine since the violent overthrow of its government in 2014.

Think of that and then do it to them first.
You don't become "civilized" by being a doormat.
Palestine wasnt a "country" when the British grabbed it. It was a part of Syria, run from Damascus or Beirut. The country itself was a rural hinterland owned by absentee landowners, and largely populated by wandering Bedouin. It had some small towns (Jerusalem was a small town, actually smaller than the medieval city) existing off a marginal pilgrimage business.
The Jews made it a country. Most of the Arab population (as of say 1947) were immigrants who came in when there were finally jobs and irrigated land to work.

The big defects in US "systems", categories of necessary services and public expenditure, using international comparisons, are education and medical services. The US version of these are vastly inefficient compared to any other developed country. Thats the facts, take your lumps.
The only way to overcome your sins (as failing so grossly with education and medical care in a modern society ARE sins) is for millions to admit their personal failures, repent, beg forgiveness, and perform public, painful and bloody penance. Millions. This is not a few people who have been screwing up, but entire professions, employment categories, for decades.
And then there is the US legal profession.
What can I say? It is by far the principal cause of ineffectiveness and inefficiency in US society.
Repentance and penance seem insufficient.
A total replacement of the entire category, going back to first principles, with something more fit for purpose?

This argument keeps expanding because its original premise was false.
When the claim that violent criminals were released into the U.S. collapsed, the definition of ‘criminal’ expanded to asylum seekers who were actually here legally. When that claim collapsed, it expanded to the millions here legally who at a stroke of pen, lost that legal status. Now, it expands to all immigrants under the false premise of manufactured wide spread criminality.
That’s why legality, due process, and noncriminal status are dismissed: they interfere with the objective, which is collective punishment, not public safety.
In a way, the BLM, Antifa, Queers for Palestine, anti-ICE, etc, operations, consisting overwhelmingly of people not of the groups they ostensibly protect, are postmodern penitente processions - self flagellating their white guilt away. But like the original penitente parades, or the Shiite Ashura processions that may have inspired them, these ceremonies just cement the power of the establishment. CC, JSM

This is why people should break away from Trump turd polishing platforms and focus on what is true and what isn’t true. It reminds me of why election deniers were easily duped but why it never held up in a court of law.
A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from ending Temporary Protected Status for more than 350,000 Haitian immigrants.
“There is an old adage among lawyers," Judge Reyes wrote. “ When the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table.
Secretary Noem, the record to-date shows, does not have the facts on her side -- or at least has ignored them," Reyes continued. “Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, she pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”
Judge Reyes wrote that while Noem has a First Amendment right "to call immigrants killers, leeches, [and] entitlement junkies," she is constrained by the Constitution and federal law to "apply faithfully the facts to the law in implementing the TPS program.
The Government does not cite any reason termination must occur post haste," Reyes wrote. "Secretary Noem complains of strains unlawful immigrants place on our immigration-enforcement system. Her answer? Turn 352,959 lawful immigrants into unlawful immigrants overnight.
The statutory design is straightforward: TPS exists because threats to life exist; when the threat persists, so should TPS protection, unless the Secretary articulates a well-reasoned and well-supported national interest to the contrary," she wrote.
The D.C. federal judge listed the five plaintiffs by name, saying, "They are not, it emerges, 'killers, leeches, or entitlement junkies.
They are instead: Fritz Emmanuel Lesly Miot, a neuroscientist researching Alzheimer's disease; Rudolph Civil, a software engineer at a national bank; Marlene Gail Noble, a laboratory assistant in a toxicology department; Marica Merline Laguerre, a college economics major; and Vilbrun Dorsainvil, a full-time registered nurse," Judge Reyes wrote.
Yes they have nothing on the opus eei

"A foreign invasion."
So there was never a civil war? Is that what you are claiming? Because "a foreign invasion" is not a civil war, but you know what is a civil war? When a region refuses to accept the legitimacy of the overthrow of the democratically elected leader using violent crowds, and starts fighting.
Guarantee if a full on, weapons drawn, distant power enabled on one side, civil war broke out on our border, we would get involved with the other side, and I would support it. If Quebec, backed by China, broke from Canada by force of arms, the US would intervene.
But my question was, and you refused to answer it, how could you define civil war so that it did not include what was going on in Ukraine since 2014?

My post was targeted at people who choose nursing as a career, not at nurses. You understand the difference, right?
That's a "Yes" or "No" question.
And here's another one: Do you think the people who posted those videos are disgusting people? Yes or no.

Why is Trump so triggered by Trevor Noah?
Stop responding to me. I don't read your shit.
Demonization of teachers, now nurses, ah yes, that’s the way the right does things. What group is next?
That's pretty rich. A leftist complaining about demonizing other people.
Jim @ 4:27, I wasn’t exactly responding “too you” but rather to what you said. But my apologies if somewhere I gave the impression that what you read is somehow a concern of mine.
There was a revolt in the Donbas in April 2014, kicked off by a unit of the Russian GRU (ref testimony of the commander of the unit, Girkin). This revolt was on the way to being defeated, until regular Russian forces entered Ukraine in August 14, 2014. Thereafter "insurgents" (largely Russian special forces) with the aid of regular Russian forces, artillery and air expanded the zone to become what was later proclaimed as the Russian puppet states of Donetsk and Luhansk. And that situation remained frozen till Feb of 2022.
“Do you think the people who posted those videos are disgusting people?”
Of course, if they are “for real”.
And Mason, you’re insulting people who choose to go into the field of nursing as a career, for what reason?
People who go into a career involving health care who advocate for withholding care or actively harming others due to their politics deserve to be insulted, at the very least.
Fired from their job, prevented from ever getting another one where they have access to vulnerable victims and cast out of decent society wouldn't be enough but it would still be a better outcome.
What do you think should happen to those people?
Did men born in the territory of the Ukraine fight and die for their independence? Was the West providing weapons and support for the Ukrainian ultranationalist government? Yes, in fact the CIA had multiple bases, 12, per the New York Times, training Ukrainians in propaganda, and these bases were near the Russian border, they were training Ukrainians in techniques of infiltration and assassination within Russia. This has been admitted by the US.
It was and is a civil war, and you can repeat all of the talking points developed by people trained by the CIA in propaganda that you like, but changing what you call it does not change it. Great powers get involved in civil wars all the time.
