No wager again as INTREPIDO went off at 7-2and ran poorly. I had him at 5-1 minimum to even think about a wager.Mike Smith the old man ,wins Santa Anita Derby, another short price.I didnt see anything that would have me thinking a play for Kentucky here. Wood memorial 11-1 wins race in a non descript group of horses.Wood never much of a baroeter for May 1st. The amazing race at KEENLAND and FURTHER ADO was mesmerizing,winning easily ,about 10 length s in hand under the wire, Ran wide 1st turn and closed on a slow 47 and change half mile pace,wow impressive as the favorite paying $3.70 in 149 and change for mile and an 1/8th. This will be one of my serious looks in the DERBY and hopefully doesnt get pounded at the window but probably one of most impressive wins I have seen this season. I will have a large bankrool for DERBY day as most races had either bad odds or short fields not bettable for me. I will be looking at playing more gimmicks(pick 4's,triples ,exactas etc) and of course my win bet on my pick. Its just about settled now and morning lines will be out soon for DERBY. The Blue Grass has produced 23 winners for Run for the Roses but hasn
t been in win spot since 2007,this could be the year impressive race for FURTHER ADO. Trained by Brad Cox and ridden by Irad Ortiz,(top jock and trainer) and out of a GUN RUNNER sire should have no problem with the mile and a quarter distance. I watched the race 3x and each time more impressed with horse getting pushed 5 wide on turn, closing on a slow pace and being able to move to the 3 path for last eight pulling away.149.58 was only 2 seconds of track record for the distance and winning by 11 lengths in hand obviously shows horse could have gone faster and had plenty for extra distance of DERBY. YEAH MAN...Beautiful..Brad Cox has only won DERB 1 time but was first Louisianna native twin the race..As many races AS IRAD has won and riding titles he has never won the DERBY all part of the handicapping info I'll be doping for the BIG DAY. The best horse dont not always win the race but this one is a beauty!

I have a question for those who have read Marx. In theory, the worker revolution paves the way for the "dictatorship of the proletariat" - by this term Marx refers to rule by the proletariat as a whole, not by some subset. (The Paris Commune is supposed to be precedent for this.) Now, whenever a revolution is successful whoever organized it initially has power. How did Marx envision the transfer of power from the revolutionary leaders to the whole of the proletariat?

This is my Easter story.
It doesn’t end well for anyone.
My friend was driving his family to Grandma’s house for Easter. There was a cute bunny rabbit sitting on a fence post ahead. He pointed and said, “Look kids, it’s the Easter Bunny.” The littles were thrilled. Just as they were passing it, that stupid rabbit panicked and jumped under the wheels of their car.
Crunch. Crunch.
“Daddy killed the Easter Bunny!”
(Happy Easter everyone.)

NASA pays $100M for Microsoft 365 licensing across the agency. They standardized every system on Microsoft. They put Microsoft Surfaces on the Orion spacecraft as the crew's personal computing devices.

And the first technical crisis of humanity's return to the Moon was Reid Wiseman radioing Houston to say he has two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one works.

Mission Control's response? "With your go, we can remote in and take a look." The same exact workflow your company's IT helpdesk uses when you submit a ticket on a Monday morning. Except the user is traveling at 4,275 mph, 30,000 miles from Earth, and the Wi-Fi situation is considerably worse.

This spacecraft survived hydrogen leaks, helium leaks, a faulty heat shield, and a broken toilet. Outlook broke anyway.

@AlanKH: How did Marx envision the transfer of power from the revolutionary leaders to the whole of the proletariat?

You are conflating Marx proper with later Leninism. Marx himself was a relatively compassionate softie who addressed the personal alienation of capitalism. Marxism is routinely described as a secularized version of Christianity, but with a self-formed heaven on earth instead of heaven in the afterlife. As such, Marx thought that "the lion would lay down with the lamb" via shared consciousness raising.

This level of cooperation doesn't happen with any species outside of ant and bee colonies. It surely does not occur with predatory meat-eating mammals like humans. Lenin and Stalin turned Marxism into aggressive, manipulative, genocidal warlordism in the 20th century. They sought to force an outcome (either Party control or heaven on earth) -- it was simple predation with Marxist language.

Because of the original compassion theme, Marxist true believers say a genuine Marxist government has never been enacted. So, the wolves among them use compassionate language but shift to Leninism again and again.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Sec. Marco Rubio just CANCELED the legal status of slain Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani's family members living in the US

They're now in ICE custody, pending DEPORTATION. 🔥

Long overdue, thank you Marco! 🇺🇸

RUBIO: "Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living in lavishly in the United States.

Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the "Great Satan."

This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter's legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States.

The Trump Administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes." 🔥"

Well, I am hooked.
I had a lot of filing to do today at work. I usually listen to podcasts or Youtube videos.
Today Youtube served up the Hawaii Hiking Trail Attempted Murder Trial.
I started with the testimony of Arielle Konig.
https://youtu.be/jGjhR22C9s8?si=KHeFU6s4CGqBI4Zp
Then the testimony of the 2 women who called 911, etc. etc.
The trial unfolds as an amazing mystery - particularly if you don’t know the story before you start listening to the testimonies.
I’m halfway through the testimony of her husband, Dr. Gerhardt Konig.
Well worth it.

There’s 20 gazillion videos - body language experts, hiking trail experts, etc. And since this was an attempted murder on someone’s part, it doesn’t feel quite as dark or heavy as if the victim had actually been killed.

1. Flew to Vegas to watch Creighton basketball. Busy TSA line. We decided after 9-11 to spend a fortune on people and equipment to keep people in America safe. It was too risky to not do anything.

Same thing with Iran. It was too risky to let Iran go one as they were. But we have the Dems and Fake News whining and complaining every single day - and lying - that Trump has no objective. Gas prices are going up. STFU.

The Dems hate Trump more than they love America.

2. I hate the TSA line, but today wasn’t bad. But we all know the Dems made Americans unnecessarily wait in long lines just to pimp Trump and pimp ICE.

Dems are horrible people. I can’t imagine anyone who was stuck in those TSA lines voting Dem.

Oh, shur it Dave. You promised this war would be over and won by this point.

Yet after you assured us it would be over (and Trump declared their air defenses destroyed) we got multiple planes hit.

It is expected that the usual suspects here would insist those on the left wished bad things happened to our service members, to which I say go f yourself. I have family in the services including a pilot. You are despicable pieces of shit for saying that.

For a glimpse into how insane the "asylum" policies of the Democrats and Deep State have been recently read this post by John Hinderaker @ Powerline that gives some background on SecState Rubio giving the boot to that Iranian terrorist Soleimani's neice and grand-neice.

Key graph quoted from the NY Post (my emphasis)

Afshar entered the US in 2015 on a tourist visa, was granted asylum in 2019 — before securing a green card in 2021 from the Biden administration.

She made at least four trips back to Iran since receiving her green card, the Department of Homeland Security said.


As Mr Hinderaker titled the piece, why are (sic) they here?

Saint Croix বলেছেন...

This is fucking awesome.

Mr. Trump on Friday put some other operations on pause in Iran to prioritize the search and rescue, directing hundreds of special operations forces to the effort, zeroing in on the stranded crew member's beacon.

A U.S. official and a White House official confirmed to CBS News that U.S. commandos recovered the missing crew member in a complex operation that involved dozens of special forces personnel, and several dozen warplanes and helicopters. The news was first reported by the New York Times.

The rescued officer was flown to Kuwait to receive treatment for his injuries, the two officials said.

The harrowing military operation utilized bombs and weapons fire to keep Iranian troops away from where the missing officer was believed to be hiding, the two officials said. While stranded, he had only a handgun to defend himself, the two officials disclosed.


Happy Easter and God bless America.

I have a Mac, and I love Word. It sucks to be me.

Got a new Mac. Had to re-install Word. Oh, it sucks to be me.

Adobe, you fucker!

The 72 hours after I bought a new Mac were perhaps the most stressful and unhappy 72 hours of my life. (I know, first world problems, am I rite?)

My novel draft was lost, discovered, lost again, discovered again.

Had to make a trip to the Apple store.

Several conversations with Microsoft aliens. They would help me and then the damn software would crash again. Meanwhile, the damn software kept asking me how the damn aliens were doing. "I don't want anybody fired, I just want my fucking software to fucking work. It's the fucking software! I don't blame humanity. Holy fuck your software sucks." There was a lot of praying involved. And a lot of screaming at robots.

I bought a jump drive to transfer all the shit from my old computer to my new computer and I discovered that the jump drives in old Macs do not fit in new Macs. I think I used wi fi, eventually. I had the old Mac in my kitchen and my new Mac on my desk. And I was on my knees praying. "I need my book, please let me have my book back." Dude. I will not be buying a new Mac for a decade, at least. And fucking Microsoft now has me on a subscription plan, I think. Ooh, I hate Microsoft so much. My new plan is not to update anything, ever.

It’s great propaganda. They are strong supporters of Iran - but the photos released show them dressed as no woman would be dressed in Iran. One was wearing a tiny bikini. The other a gown, split to her navel in the front, with a nice innerboob display. One of Iran’s most notorious terrorist commanders, with daughter and granddaughter living lavishly, safely, and presumptively promiscuously, in LA. And far from how their Prophet commanded.

It's sad when a critique of the President's golf game comes up short when one considers that his predecessor was incapable of not getting lost on a golf course, and that's with his handlers, and instead had to take his R&R time safely in a beach chair, because he kept falling off his bike.
