Those photos are spectacular! But geese are a gigantic PITA and baby geese...I know I'm saying bad things about baby geese but there should be a lot fewer of them because they grow up to be adult geese.
Lovely, the way that dome shines in the early morning.
Only 3? Family Planning.
President Donald Trump's disapproval numbers hit a record high in a new poll, the latest in a series of surveys painting a gloomy picture for the president six months out from the November midterm elections.
In the latest Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll, Trump's disapproval rating hit 62%, an all-time high from the survey's history throughout both terms in office.
The high disapproval rate came alongside souring opinions on Trump's handling of the Iran war, the economy and cost of living, issues that the president has consistently been polling poorly on over the last few months.
The midterms will be a bloodbath, in the House and maybe even in the Senate, but of course not a single one of the Trump/MAGA supporters here will blame him.
Wrecked the bonnet of my cute little car today. I have the sads…
Did all the fraud exposure nudge the Supremes to believe that the fraud may have been made possible by the fixing of the districts to favor one party over the other?
ai: "There is no evidence that investigations by independent journalist Nick Shirley influenced the Supreme Court’s decisions regarding race-based congressional districts. While Shirley’s viral reporting on alleged welfare and voter fraud in "Democrat strongholds" like Minnesota and California has led to federal hearings and policy changes, the Supreme Court's recent rulings on redistricting, such as Louisiana v. Callais (2026), were based on legal challenges regarding unconstitutional racial gerrymandering and the interpretation of the Voting Rights Act."
small print : "AI can make mistakes, so double-check responses"
While Shirley’s viral reporting on alleged welfare and voter fraud in "Democrat strongholds" like Minnesota and California...
What are the quote marks there for? And at this point- alleged? Really?
Had a thought while reading the Iran strategy thread:
The Left can flit around, pick one piece of one issue, and talk just about that. Hammer the dead schoolgirls, or the price of oil, or people losing the right to vote, or whatever.
The Right, to defend our policies logically, have to give detailed explanations that go all over the place, that look like a conspiracy theorist's wall yarn chart.
Voting: blue cities print up fake ballots to tilt swing states to the left, and in order to fight that, we have to clean up the voter rolls, require voter ID, minimize mail in voting, etc, etc. The listener either falls asleep or thinks Rightie spends way too much time thinking about this shit.
Iran: It's part of a grand global strategy to keep the ChiComs from taking over. We have to control chokepoints like Hormuz and Panama. We have to neutralize ChiCom allies like Venezuela and Iran. Russia might benefit from some of this, but that will encourage Russia to rejoin the West. The price of oil will go up, but that will help our domestic oil industry - part of our overall industrial policy where we wind up paying higher prices, but pay them to American workers, who can then afford to pay the higher prices. The listener reacts by thinking we just have a circular perpetual motion machine where everything will turn out okay for us.
It is an overcomeable obstacle, especially in this age when rightie constituencies can go to the internet. But it is still an obstacle.
Maybe the way to fight back is to focus on single points of failure in Leftie policies, and do what they do to us? Which forces them to narrate wall-yarn strategies? I dunno. CC, JSM

Ah, I know those sads. When I was 17, in the earliest 90s, I got a mustard '67 Karmann Ghia. $2500 in questionable mechanical condition, not least because it was an autostick. Bit wonderful physical condition. Original bumpers. All white original interior. Sunroof that was probably added earlybut was great. Such fun to drive. Felt the road so well. Stopped at a red light, leaned over to my glove compartment, my foot came off thr brake, and while my head was down I rolled into the pickup in front of me. Low car of mine meant my nose took his bumper. Caved it in. Heartbroken even if fixable.

🚨BREAKING:🚨FBI AGENTS WHO WORKED ON JANUARY 6TH CASES, POSED AS TRUMP SUPPORTERS AT THE CAPITOL TO BE CRIMINALLY CHARGED - The FBI has reportedly executed A MULTITUDE OF SEARCH WARRANTS AT THE HOMES OF and interviewed DOZENS OF NOW FORMER FBI AGENTS who worked the cases of January 6th defendants as well as the agents who infiltrated the crowd and pretended to be Trump supporters in order to incite CHAOS AND VIOLENCE at The Capitol on that day.
A DOJ source says that these individuals are about to be INDICTED in A MASSIVE FEDERAL CONSPIRACY CASE for, ironically, many of the very same charges that PERSECUTED J6 defendants were indicted on including SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY AND CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD THE UNITED STATES. Revenge is a dish best served cold... and boy does RETRIBUTION feel oh so good. Do YOU want to see these DEEP STATE TRAITORS pay for SETTING UP AND PERSECUTING these patriots?

@Iman : I hope Christopher Wray is charged as well because his peeps acted at his direction.
Back before I retired and we moved to the Shenandoah Valley we lived near a lake in Fairfax County, Virginia. And a flock of Canadian geese* would regularly fly from the lake to the lush lawns in our suburban development to eat grass da. Whenever I saw the flock on my lawn I’d come out on the deck and yell at them, making them honk and exit the property. But what I found interesting wss that they seemed to know my property boundaries to the inch. They’d cross into my neighbors’ yards, and then just stop and resume eating. One goose would stand there at the very edge of my property with his neck held vertically and lock eyes with me, as though telling me that the flock was off my property (as it was) and they had gone as far as they were going to go.
Amazing.

Geese are essentially helpless in a fight, so being an asshole is all they have to keep threats at bay. It's very similar to how Democrats act when someone threatens their grift, except they have access to firearms.
I don't know how I feel about locking up worker bees for just putting on some Trump swag and infiltrating the crowd. If they did more than that - if they were true agents-provocateurs- then yes. Or if the indictments are an investigative tool to make them lawyer up and name names above them in exchange for dismissal, then heck yeah. CC, JSM
Do you hear the drumbeat building toward the 2026 midterms?
Trump isn't running in the mid-terms. It's just retail Democrats and Republicans squaring off, and that's good for Republicans, because like them or not, everybody knows they are generally far less crazy, corrupt, and criminal, and more proof is being exposed every single day. Some people don't care, but most do.

Iman, I don’t think this is true.
Bag, are they "soldiers dedicated enough to bother," or just people doing what they were told? My anecdotal experience from working with the Bureau is they aren't given a lot of room for initiative. Agents-provocateurs would have to be working under orders from several levels above them.
BTW, "what would be the point of dressing up and NOT being provocative?" is what I say when I do that last mirror check before leaving the house every day....CC, JSM

"...not a single one of the Trump/MAGA supporters here will blame him."
My support for Trump and his policies is not dependent on how many people are smart enough to agree with success. The alternative of voting for someone who refuses to do the right things is never considered, no matter how many people are sold on that. Just like I always knew ABBA sucks, despite their popularity.
“Just like I always knew ABBA sucks, despite their popularity.”
Hey, now! “Waterloo” is a damned fine pop song.
I'm old enough to remember a great pre-election fanfare that the January 6th surveillance tapes were all going to be released so that the public could go to work sleuthing them and the Reddit autists could drive the DOJ and FBI crazy by showing all of the evidentiary connections, one frame at a time. Then they got released and almost immediately closed back up again. Funny, that. So - you say the FBI had a bunch of agents salted into the crowd, eh? Gee. Maybe they ought to release all the tapes. Did Ray Epps get a pardon? There were so many, it's hard to keep track of 'em.
"Bag, are they "soldiers dedicated enough to bother," or just people doing what they were told? "
Good point. The dedicated soldiers are the people above them who gave the orders, but I was also thinking about the apparently ANTIFA people who were videoed changing from their anarchists garb into MAGA dress at the protest. They weren't doing that just to make the crowd look larger.

You need coyotes to keep those geese under control. The idea is that they are supposed to head up to Canadian grasslands and overwhelm the predators with sheer numbers, and then they fly away en masse, and starve those same predators over the winter in order to keep ;predator numbers down. Lack of predators that can handle them in the US has led to the proliferation of these filthy birds outside of their natural areas.
That's a very poorly planned road in the last video. It goes straight into the water. Are there hundreds of submerged cars at that point? They should put up a fence or something. At least put up a warning sign, so people know they are going to drown in a few minutes so they can make peace with their god.
I have often said that all taxonomy is political, and species have been defined by behavior before, when they want to justify regulations to protect "endangered" species by limiting land use, when genetically identical populations exist in large numbers, that live different lifestyles.
Where am I going with this? well, given that these birds are non migratory now, they should not be protected by the migratory birds treaty, and should be fair game for any landowners suffering infestations of these "American geese."

In reality, biggest problem the right has is gas prices. Historically, whoever is in office gets the blame, whethere left or right. If prices drop a month before mid-terms, will make a world of difference.

Pretty good. Just as funny is, some people might believe you are serious.
The story of the FBI guys being charged is a real example of "fake but accurate". Like if I was to say Ilhan Omar was charged with immigration fraud or incest... today.
"I don't know how I feel about locking up worker bees for just putting on some Trump swag and infiltrating the crowd."
If the worker bees get the idea that doing some questionable stuff ordered by their bosses will get their asses locked up while the bosses go free, they might be less inclined to "just follow orders".
Gas prices can be cured. TDS is the real problem for the next couple years. It's usually not even treatable.

“What exactly were those bureau agents doing”

“Then again the secret service doesnt seem to do their job”
“Is there any alphabet agency that works”
The FBI recently admitted that they had some 274 or so agents in the crowd at the Capital on J6. The MSM (etc) claim that they arrived later, for crowd control. Nope. They would have been wearing their distinctive dark blue FBI windbreakers if they had been there for crowd control. None were visible. They were all under cover. Maybe not carrying their trademark tiki torches though.
It took 4 years, and lying hundreds of times, often in court. to get to that place. And probably thousands of Brady violations.
It’s taken a lot of time and work to get to this place. Thanks, in particular to FBI Director Patel, DD Bongino, and DNI Gabbord.
How do they get over the 5 year statute of limitations? By showing that it was a long running conspiracy. Every time an FBI or DOJ official testified in court against a J6 victim, or before Congress, that there weren’t hundreds of FBI agents in the crowds, violated 18 USC § 1001 (yes, the same statute used against LTG Flynn and by the Mueller prosecutors in their perjury traps) resets the 5 year timer. They only need to prove 2 or 3 of these to prove a conspiracy exists.

n August of 2023, Ted Goodman had to be silenced for his big lie on CNN about his employer, Rudy Giuliani:
"I can’t speak to what the mayor is thinking inside his head here. What I can tell you, he knows everything he’s done is legal and by the book. He’s been proven right time and time again, whether it was the Democrat Russian collusion hoax, right? Whether it was Hunter Biden’s laptop or Joe Biden’s foreign corruption. Time and time again–"
Now Goodman declares that former NYC Mayor may be dying somewhere in an unnamed Florida hospital - and asks for prayers.
“Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he’s fighting with that same level of strength as we speak,” he said,
But the hospital is likely near his $3.6 million, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo in West Palm Beach. His address is at 315 S. Lake Drive, and the closest hospital is likely HCA Florida JFK North Hospital.
Wendybar. Rogan;s opinion is just that - opinion. Bob Woodward wrote "Wired," The Short Life & Fast Times of John Belushi.
John Belushi was found dead of a drug overdose March 5, 1982, in a seedy hotel bungalow off Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. Belushi’s death was the beginning of a trail that led Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward on an investigation that examines the dark side of American show business—TV, rock and roll, and the movie industry. From on-the-record interviews with 217 people, including Belushi's widow, his former partner Dan Aykroyd, Belushi’s movie directors including Jack Nicholson and Steven Spielberg, actors Chevy Chase, Robin Williams, and Carrie Fisher, the movie executives, the agents, Belushi’s drug dealers, and those who live in the show business underground, the author has written a close portrait of a great American comic talent, and of his struggle to succeed and to survive that ended in tragedy.
Murray opined on Woodward. Rogan opined on bs propaganda from someone you know. Rogan’s opinion is widely held - a lot of what we read is horseshit.
So Woodward's statements about Belushi, which he at best got second hand and post mortem, are worth more than Murray's recollections from years of being with Belushi almost 24/7, just because Woodward got a publisher to print them? CC, JSM
@gadfly, reread the dust jacket blurb. Is there anything in there that says Woodward did of embellish the story?
As to Dick Nixon, Clinton and Obama did worse and got away with it.
Gadfly, why are you doxing Giuliani's hospital? Have you no decency, sir? CC, JSM
Hayden and Bag - yeah, if you don't want to reveal the existence or identity of undercovers, you stop answering questions well before you get to the issue. If the judge makes you answer, you drop the prosecution or default on the civil suit. If the other party gets voted into office and now runs your agency, they have the option of revealing the operation. The one thing you can't get away with is lying in court or to congress. Even if all you did was put on a red hat and milled about for a couple of hours. CC, JSM
Did Ray Epps get a pardon?
Better, he got hit with a misdemeanor charge that he plead guilty for 1 year probation. He’s already done his “time”.
Ray Epps is why I believe J6 was a false flag op. Epps did everything the left claims Trump did. Epps is on tape encouraging people to enter the Capitol and protest. Epps was there. Yet, the Left and the J6 committee called him a hero. This while putting people, who at worse sheepishly followed the crowd, in jail for months to years. Many of those people were called traitors.
@gadfly: Bill Murray not the only friend who criticised the book for accuracy.
Ralper Prakazrel “Pras” Michel of the Fugees has reported to federal prison to begin a 14-year sentence. He was convicted for illegally funneling millions of dollars in foreign contributions to Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign.
How come Barrack Obama isn't going to jail with him?

Because both parties generally seem to throw everything at the wall before elections. That’s pretty normal campaign behavior, not necessarily a signal of who’s ahead, or who’s panicking.
Cute little honkers, on parade with mom and dad.
Culture clash: Woodward (like his colleague Bernstein) is so utterly humorless that it's hard to think he could have a good take on Belushi and early SNL. If you knew Belushi you would believe that Woodward didn't and couldn't capture the real John Belushi.
So by Achilles definition, Trump is a traitor:
"Trump announced that starting Monday morning the U.S. military would help free ships that have been “locked up” and unable to transit the key trade route amid the maritime standoff between Tehran and Washington.
It's the latest bid to break Iran's stranglehold over the strait, which has left global shipping at an effective standstill and sent energy prices spiraling."

Ray Epps is why I believe J6 was a false flag op.
Yeah remember when you couldn't raise his name in hearings or on TV, like Eric "Whistlefaker" Ciamrilla (SP?), and traitor bro Vindman.
You have to admire the swift effectiveness that the DNC showed when they suddenly pivoted from "Hillary is selling uranium to Putin and offering a reset button to Russia" to "Trump is traitor working with Russia!" Boom. Hillary went down the DNC-Media memory hole and every lefty reporter repeated the very fake talking points, especially the nazilovers on CBNN like Fake Tapper. Yes it's brazen to both conspire with Russia to rig an election and accuse your opponent of doing so, but Hillary is nothing if not brazen. In fact, brazenness might be her only identifiable quality other than the famous "congenital liar" tag her friends once gave her.
Do you realize the democrats have not held a normal primary since Trump came down the escalator? Every DNC primary has been altered, rigged to exclude Bernie, changed mid-stream or simply ignored in favor "deeming" Kamala the nominee. The actual democrats who vote in primaries have had their votes ignored, minimized or simply not held because democrats are "saving democracy."
Mike, They had lots of practice before 2017. My observation is the Democrats haven't run a primary actually designed to determine a real popular candidate since at least 1992. In 2008 they simply bowed to the inevitable given Obama's historic possibilities and Hillary's unpopularity

It's "Canada Goose". Not Canadian Goose. Before the great prairies of North America were farmed they were all North America in greater numbers than there are today. What kept them in check were foxes, raccoons, skunks etc. egg stealers. The goslings were eaten by the same predators plus hawks, pike and muskies. Coyotes ate the offal of larger predators and the foxes and raccoons etc.
Right now coyotes are considered vermin and you are encouraged to shoot them any time you encounter them. There is no closed season and there is no bag limit. Keep you pets inside unless they are with you every minute. I can't count how many closed pet collars I've found on my walks.

Let me translate from Persian: "The IRGC is going to send tiny boats to harass ships and if that happens they will accuse the USA of violating the cease fire." It's almost like Shakespeare had the IRGC in mind when he wrote "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

The Strait activity today in a nutshell 🥜
* Trump announced a vessel *guiding* plan “Project Freedom” to get stranded ships out of the Persian Gulf. NOT to be confused with a US naval *escort* plan
* JMIC, a multinational body that analyzes security threats in the area, advised vessels to consider crossing the waterway through Omani waters. It warned of the presence of mines north of Omani waters.
* UKMTO flagged that a tanker had been targeted by projectiles north of the UAE port of Fujairah . That’s less than a day after a report of a bulk carrier being attacked by small boats.
* Iranian media Fars reported a strike on a US frigate near the Gulf of Oman port
* Tasnim, another Iranian news agency, announced the government had “redefined the control zone” in the Strait and effectively set out maritime borders within which Tehran would regulate shipping traffic
* The US denied a report by Iranian media that the country had struck an American naval vessel with missiles
* Meanwhile, the UAE condemned an attack on a national tanker affiliated with ADNOC while passing through the Strait (see above)
* UAE residents got a missile alert warning (first one since the ceasefire)
* US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called on US allies and China to join in on the American operation to guide vessels through the Strait also says “We have absolute control of the strait.”
Dire straits.

[parry thrust]
[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's left arm off]
ARTHUR: Now stand aside, worthy adversary.
BLACK KNIGHT: 'Tis but a scratch.
ARTHUR: A scratch? Your arm's off!
BLACK KNIGHT: No, it isn't.
ARTHUR: Well, what's that then?
BLACK KNIGHT: I've had worse.
ARTHUR: You liar!
BLACK KNIGHT: Come on you pansy!
[hah]
[parry thrust]
[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's right arm off]
ARTHUR: Victory is mine!
[kneeling]
We thank thee Lord, that in thy merc-
[the Black Knight kicks Arthur in the head]
BLACK KNIGHT: Come on then.
ARTHUR: What?
BLACK KNIGHT: Have at you!
ARTHUR: You are indeed brave, Sir knight, but the fight is mine.
BLACK KNIGHT: Oh, had enough, eh?
ARTHUR: Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left.
BLACK KNIGHT: Yes I have.
ARTHUR: Look!
BLACK KNIGHT: Just a flesh wound.
[bang]
ARTHUR: Look, stop that.
BLACK KNIGHT: Chicken! Chicken!
ARTHUR: Look, I'll have your leg. Right!
[cuts his leg]
BLACK KNIGHT: Right, I'll do you for that!
ARTHUR: You'll what?
BLACK KNIGHT: Come 'ere!
ARTHUR: What are you going to do, bleed on me?
BLACK KNIGHT: I'm invincible!
ARTHUR: You're a loony....
Trump makes up problems and then fake solves them.
They are eating the pets.
it's much more diabolical than that, Kakistan:
The problems caused by the Iranian War are not made up. They are real economic pressures not only on the Middle East and Iran but on Asia and Europe. Perhaps what you mean is that Trump is creating a plethora of global problems that he is now attempting to solve, which is a bit more difficult than he anticipated. However, if he does solve them then he will take credit for rescuing the world from himself.
I’m only the observer- it isn’t anything I’ve created
or invented. It’s political game theory. When you’re ahead you don’t do things to jeopardize the lead- stay quiet, reserved about your opponents. When you’re behind you need to make something happen. Provoke, probe, hunt for levers against- make noise.
Unlike gender dysphoria for everyone! Which was such an organic natural event that needed to be addressed. Maybe it was like paying KKK to do stuff since there really isn't a plague of hate crimes and the left needed to gin some up to pretend it was a thing. Or is it like the extremely fake and made up "Global Warming" scam that cost this country a trillion dollars?
Gotta hand it to your side slak, your fake problems are always much much bigger than our fake problems. Our main problem is that your pursuit of "fixes" to your fake problems ("hey Iran just needs more cash!") have led to real-world huge real problems that we actually have to expend blood and treasure to actually fix.
The Uniparty "kick the can" method has proved ineffective. It took a real estate guy to solve it. And when we are done there, the problem will actually be absent from the board for the foreseeable future. No Iranian nukes. No closing of the Strait by them. Likely little oil coming out of their wells. So sad for you, having predicted their big win.
If Trump is Hitler, and Graham Platner has a Nazi tattoo, does that make him a Republican ?
The actual democrats who vote in primaries have had their votes ignored, minimized or simply not held because democrats are "saving democracy."
If this is how much they value their own votes, just guess how much they value yours.
He self identifies as a communist. Like all other "American" communists and socialists he was independently wealthy (or stole it like Bernie) and therefore can afford to cosplay commie.
You have to admire the swift effectiveness that the DNC showed when they suddenly pivoted from "Hillary is selling uranium to Putin and offering a reset button to Russia" to "Trump is traitor working with Russia!" Boom. Hillary went down the DNC-Media memory hole and every lefty reporter repeated the very fake talking points, especially the nazilovers on CBNN like Fake Tapper.
I started at NASA as it was pivoting from Reagan’s plan for a space station to the International Space Station to include Russia as per Bill Clinton’s plan. For those that really know, part of the argument was to keep Russian ballistic missile scientists funded, so they wouldn’t sell there services to Iran. Apparently they were happy with two paychecks.

Trump created problems for Europe and China.
Feels no need to bail either of them out.
This makes globalist traitors mad. They really hate that China is forced to buy oil from the United States with dollars.
Most people don't understand what this actually means for the economies of each country. There is a reason why health care and electric cars were so much cheaper in China.
But Trump is erasing that reason.
