Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ చెప్పారు...: A post from the President of the United States:

RCOCEAN II చెప్పారు...: Why do people think music is related to time? Youtube is full of comments like "Gosh I'm 16 and I like this" or "Amazing I'm 82 and amazed people still listen to this".

Music is good - or not good. Its not related to how old you are. That's record industry propaganda.; 17-08-26 8:21 PM
Political Junkie చెప్పారు...: Nany Mace tattoos. Good God.
That is another area I am very conservative/traditionalist.
Tattoos are low class.; 17-08-26 8:51 PM
Big Mike చెప్పారు...: Leave it to Indefinitely Extended not to know what he’s looking at.; 17-08-26 8:53 PM
Big Mike చెప్పారు...: @Junkie, is she under indictment and getting herself ready for prison?; 17-08-26 8:56 PM
Quaestor చెప్పారు...: Sun-rees reprise.

Don't blame me. Blame the French. (Darned cheese-eating surrender monkeys.); 17-08-26 9:01 PM
Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ చెప్పారు...: Maybe trying to blame Biden for everything isn’t working.

New Reuters poll
Trump approval: 33%
Trump disapproval: 64%

The lowest of his presidency in this poll.; 17-08-26 9:30 PM
Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ చెప్పారు...: US voters are going to support candidates who can credibly deliver on US domestic semi-public goods -- health care, housing, education, economic security (the real Big Four).

Increasingly, US voters are going to reject failing foreign policies (they're all failing) as an unaffordable diversion of resources away from urgent domestic needs that require funding. It is a very basic and fundamental resource allocation problem.

American voters have not so much been disrespected as they have been disregarded.; 17-08-26 9:58 PM
DINKY DAU 45 చెప్పారు...: Another Administration FIZZLE. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is a formal, non-binding document that outlines the shared goals, intentions, and general terms of an agreement between two or more parties before they draft a strict legal contract This is now this administrations MEMORY of an understanding. Promises made.. Promises FIZZLED, just like lower prices for all including gas, no new WARS, pay down debt (going to 40 trillion with trump RESPONSIBLE FOR LARGE CHUNK) allies detest us under this fella, TARIFFS unconstitutional and brain dead, 23 courts so far have rejected trying to et data that is designated for states not the president in attempt to mess with voting)and the guy in charge sleeps through the meetings plays golf and is hooked up in cultural issues, revenge and pet projects as one judge told him, your not the owner here ,your just a tenant. Threatening allies with bombing as he stamps his feet and makes idle threats. WHAT IS THIS GUY GONNA DO ABOUT THS WAR HE STARTED and cant get out. DO SOMETHING, nobody cares about your ballroom, arches ,WWF fighting rings, pollutions of oval office making it look like a tacky cheap DOLLAR STORE. C'mon man DO SOMETHING WAKE UP. China sitting back and watching with amusement, Iran saying false ,they did not try to assassinate trump he is destroying America all by himself, they'll wait him out like they did with Carter. A war monger talking about NUKES on IRAN ,BRILLIANT ART OF THE DEAL.. c'mon man, stunod, mamalook, and Beaucoup Dinky Dau. Do something will ya.; 17-08-26 10:37 PM
Jupiter చెప్పారు...: What, it came up **again**?; 17-08-26 10:40 PM
Dr Weevil చెప్పారు...: If we've learned anything in the last few weeks, it's that modern polling is utterly worthless. If the "New Reuters poll" is as skewed to the left as the Francesca Hong polling, Trump's approval-disapproval rating is around 53-44 - not stupendous, but still quite good.

Apparently some of us have not learned anything in the last few weeks.; 17-08-26 10:40 PM
Jupiter చెప్పారు...: When one thinks about "the World", it is natural to see oneself as embedded in a matrix; of family, of friends, of neighbors -- of fellow countrymen.
But it is also possible, to consider oneself as simply a mind, entirely alone in a World full of things pretending to be minds. Perhaps they are minds. How would you know? Ask them?
Possibly, they are akin to you, and you have interests in common with them. But, again. How would you know?; 17-08-26 10:45 PM
Jupiter చెప్పారు...: This problem is easier to stop worrying about, if not exactly to resolve, if those other minds are in other bodies that resemble your own. Genetically. It is easier to trust members of your own race. When you see a bunch of joggers and floggers and priggers and sloggers, with bones in their noses and lies on their lips -- it's kind of difficult to really believe that it is in your interest to make common cause with them. Having some Democrat enlist them to help him loot your institutions and rape and murder your offspring doesn't help. you kind of start thinking, "This is a problem. A big problem. If this problem has a solution ...".; 17-08-26 10:51 PM
Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ చెప్పారు...: FAKE NEWS!

BIG DON IS RAKING IT IN.
COST OF LIVING CRISIS IS FOR LOSERS; 17-08-26 10:55 PM
Jupiter చెప్పారు...: You remember, back in the 20th Century; "If you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem". Andrew Young, I think it was. Yeah, we thought that was very enlightened and progressive, back then. Now we're starting to see that what he meant was, "If you're not one of Us, then you're one of Them".; 17-08-26 10:56 PM
Dr Weevil చెప్పారు...: After posting about the Francesca Hong polling, I found this on Twitter (link):

"A polling firm that came out of nowhere to show Francesca Hong with a 23-point lead over David Crowley in the Wisconsin primary has shut down and said its whole operation was bogus."

Follow the link for more: they claim they were doing a "short-term social experiment".; 17-08-26 11:04 PM
imTay చెప్పారు...: https://www.youtube.com/live/MT_vuAUONXA?si=lc3eT9Cc4cyC1HAA&t=2109

This guy, Robert Barnes, is a lawyer who represented Trump in the election lawsuits in 2020 and made $500K betting that Trump would beat Hillary. He did this because he ignored the public polls that push agendas and stuck to those he considered able to reliably measure Republican sentiment. This is not somebody who always hated Trump, he turned on Trump around the same time I did, when Trump lost his marbles. He has some interesting polling data. Hint, the only people who support Israel anymore, for one thing, are boomer white evangelicals, mostly the ones over 60.

https://www.tabletmag.com/podcasts/unorthodox/unorthodox-bonus-episode-bob-barnes

So Trump's own lawyer from 2020 says Trump is cooked because he has the Israeli boat anchor tied to his leg. I haven't voted for a Democrat since Jimmy Carter the first time, the second time I voted for Reagan. I don't even consider myself a Republican anymore, like 25% of Trump's former base.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFKygynEEbw; 17-08-26 11:10 PM
imTay చెప్పారు...: Basically I was a Reagan Democrat, Trump drew a lot of similar voters, they are gone. Trump's appeal has become more selective.; 17-08-26 11:13 PM
Dr Weevil చెప్పారు...: I support Israel and I have never been an Evangelical, or anything like an Evangelical. More B.S. from the usual sluice.; 17-08-26 11:17 PM
imTay చెప్పారు...: BTW, the guy doing that last interview with Robert Parnes is Lebanese and supported a deal with Israel and the disarming of Hezbollah until, the past few weeks, Israeli atrocities in Lebanon changed his opinion.; 17-08-26 11:17 PM
imTay చెప్పారు...: " support Israel and I have never been an Evangelical, or anything like an Evangelical"

I guess I should have been more precise, the only demographic where a majority support Israel, happy?; 17-08-26 11:19 PM
Jupiter చెప్పారు...: "So Trump's own lawyer from 2020 says Trump is cooked because he has the Israeli boat anchor tied to his leg."

While I agree that supporting Israel is an increasingly problematic position in American politics, it is not clear to me in what sense Trump might be "cooked". He is not a young man, I grant you, but he seems very firmly established in the Presidency, and he and his allies are moving rapidly to implement his agenda. How is he "cooked"?; 17-08-26 11:32 PM
James K చెప్పారు...: Hezbollah attacked Israel on October 8, 2023, and has been launching drones and missiles ever since. They hide behind civilians, just so fools like Barnes and imTay can blame Israel for civilian casualties in Lebanon.; 17-08-26 11:40 PM
Eva Marie చెప్పారు...: Another great video from Chi Brown:
Was Crazy Joe From ‘Lean On Me’ Actually Right

Fang Fang once approached Victor Davis Hanson and tried to work her magic.

VDH: “You would have to be a stupid, narcissistic idiot to fall for that."

He's talking about Eric Swalwell.

Ann Althouse చెప్పారు...: "Sun-rees reprise. Don't blame me. Blame the French...."

I was unusually aware of the pronunciation of "reprise" yesterday because I'd just been listening to Ella Fitzgerald singing "April in Paris":

Yes, April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is a feeling
No one can ever reprise; 18-08-26 3:43 AM
wendybar చెప్పారు...: This is HILARIOUS!!

I hope you all have X.

And Jim Comey’s FBI tried to convert Fang Fang into an FBI informant. That should tell us something about the CHS program under Comey.

John LeFevre
@JohnLeFevre
The FBI framed a sitting US President for treason, dropped an investigation into Eric Swalwell for having an illicit affair with a Chinese spy, planted fake stories with the media and FISA court, and forced Big Tech to censor critics to influence the 2020 election.

And some people still don't think the unelected Deep State is real?

rcommal చెప్పారు...: Has anyone else seen the AP report today about a proposal to subsidize liability insurance up to $500,000 for ICE agents and other law enforcement that participates who "are trained and deputized to enforce federal immigration laws. The idea is that individual officers could purchase insurance and the government would subsidize the cost up to $250 annually.

What do we think of this?; 18-08-26 6:17 AM
rcommal చెప్పారు...: Sorry! Here's the link to Ice pitches legal insurance to help shield local officers who make immigration. The article includes a link to the actual planning document published by the Trump administration on Friday. ICE has requested industry feedback by Thursday.; 18-08-26 6:22 AM
rcommal చెప్పారు...: Gosh, I wish Blogger had gotten around to providing an edit function! I'm being sloppy today. Best get some coffee.; 18-08-26 6:23 AM
rcommal చెప్పారు...: [start virtual italics]You remember, back in the 20th Century; "If you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem". Andrew Young, I think it was. Yeah, we thought that was very enlightened and progressive, back then. Now we're starting to see that what he meant was, "If you're not one of Us, then you're one of Them".[end virtual italics}

You're thinking of Eldridge Cleaver, I'm pretty sure--1968, in "Soul on Ice." However, according to AI, there were earlier versions, notably in advertisements for speeches by a (then-)famous American pastor, Harry Emerson Fosdick, in 1936.; 18-08-26 6:43 AM
Saint Croix చెప్పారు...: the only people who support Israel anymore, for one thing, are boomer white evangelicals, mostly the ones over 60.

That's ridiculous. Most Jews support Israel (obviously).

Most Republicans support Israel. That's one reason the Democrats are so afraid -- all the hatred for Israel rising up in their party is going to make millions of people vote Republican for the first time.

Christians of all stripes support Israel, including Baptists, Methodists, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Presbyterians, and many more.

I would flip it around and suggest that only Islamic fanatics and indoctrinated youth think that Israel is an apartheid state that needs to be wiped out.

Do you support Hamas, imTay?; 18-08-26 7:21 AM
Peachy+2 చెప్పారు...: IMTay and Jaq - the same person?; 18-08-26 8:07 AM
Peachy+2 చెప్పారు...: It's funny how the IMTAYS, LoneJuiceBoxes and JAQs are obsessed with their own supposed voting patterns and never shut up about them.; 18-08-26 8:09 AM
Saint Croix చెప్పారు...: One of the major industries in the California is the venture capital industry. It's why so many tech companies are located in California.

California is about to vote on a "billionaire tax." The Democrat establishment is dead set against it. The governor of California, Gavin Newsom, was opposed to it. Even the WaPo is against it.

Here's Mark Cuban, Democrat, warning California that start-up founders and investors will leave the state if Prop 40 passes.

"IMO, if this passes, only idiot startup founders stay in Cali," Mark Cuban said. "You can bet if I’m investing in a multi billion dollar startup, I’m asking them to move from California first."; 18-08-26 8:18 AM
Saint Croix చెప్పారు...: Genetically. It is easier to trust members of your own race.

Jupiter, you ought to open up a bank, White Bank, and loan money to white people without any credit checks, background checks, or collateral. Because you can always trust the honkies, amirite?; 18-08-26 8:22 AM
chuck చెప్పారు...: Robert Barnes should have been a prosecutor, he always leaves out relevant facts when immersed in his conspiracy theories. And he loves conspiracy theories. His analysis of actual trials can be interesting, but you need to keep a barrel of salt on hand.; 18-08-26 9:41 AM
Rustygrommet చెప్పారు...: Peachy+2 said...

Exactly what I was thinking, Peachy.
What kind of small, miserable existences do they have where politics is their constant worry?; 18-08-26 9:47 AM
MadTownGuy చెప్పారు...: @ColbeyDecker on X:

“Those kids that are struggling in those areas aren’t ever gonna read anyway.” - Tony Evers

"If literacy is treated as optional for some kids, what is school even for?

The last 16 years were a deliberate reordering of priorities within DPI and K-12 education in Wisconsin."

Tony Evers was head of the Wisconsin Department of Instruction before coming to the governorship. He oversaw the reordering of priorities.; 18-08-26 10:16 AM
