FullMoon ayon kay ...: Cashier at grocery store telling me her first job was at a drive through Dairy across from high school. Said the boys would come after school and try and get free stuff from her. Said she had to beat off all the annoying boys. I assume she meant
emphatically denying their requests but did not inquire.; 8/4/26, 6:28 PM
FullMoon ayon kay ...: Actually kind of pleasant. Give it a listen before you complain Islamic Call to Prayer Now Plays Five Times Per Day Across Minneapolis
.; 8/4/26, 6:30 PM
Vance ayon kay ...: Democrats favorite thing, the invasion of Ceuda, Spain, where the invaders have not left and gone back to Morocco but instead are trying to stab and kill US journalist Nick Shirley. Democrats like DDDriver cheering them on, and probably since they are Muslim invaders, I'd suspect the usual Joooooo haters here to be on the same side.; 8/4/26, 6:34 PM
Eva Marie ayon kay ...: “At a roundtable discussion with Jewish leaders and community members from around the state, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said she will not attend the Michigan Democratic Party’s nominating convention in August because she does not feel safe to be there.”
Let me emphasize Dinky Dau style THE MICHIGAN ATTORNEY GENERAL doesn’t feel safe to attend Michigan’s Democratic Convention. Maybe she’ll stay home and listen to that lovely call to prayer.
https://michiganadvance.com/2026/07/30/nessel-says-she-wont-attend-michigan-dems-convention-over-safety-concerns/; 8/4/26, 6:36 PM
RCOCEAN II ayon kay ...: Dana Nessel doesn't feel safe. Wah wah. Cry some more fake tears. This "I have all the power, but I'll play the victim" works with Democrats and Leftist. I think its ultimately a feminine way of behaving, which is why it never was thought of when men dominated politics.

Imagine Harry truman saying "I wont be attending the Democrat Convention, I'm too scared". LOL.

IF Ms. Neesel cant stand the heat, get out of the Kitchen. Go curl up in a ball and eat some fudge inside your "safe place".; 8/4/26, 6:46 PM
RCOCEAN II ayon kay ...: Zionists who wield power in the real world should expect to be criticized like everyone else. Jewish individuals and groups who do things in the real world should expect to be criticized like everyone else.

Why in the world anyone would agree there should two rules, one for Jews or Israel and another for everyone else is beyond me. You don't get to cry anti-semitism and call people a "hater" anytime they disagree with you or Criticize Israel.; 8/4/26, 6:51 PM
RCOCEAN II ayon kay ...: Oh course, that's never stopped people from weilding the charge of anti-semitism as a weapon, or racism as a weapon for that matter. And it only works because everyone else is so stupid.; 8/4/26, 6:53 PM
Eva Marie ayon kay ...: What dies Zionism have to do with a Jewish Attorney General?
Conservative speakers also don’t feel safe on college campuses. Fuck off with your wah wah.; 8/4/26, 6:56 PM
FullMoon ayon kay ...: Heard an old Dylan song. Kinda interesting in that it relates to insanity caused by MSM.
Rejecting the Movement: The song serves as a critique of the rigid expectations of the 1960s counter-culture. Lines like "from fixtures and forces and friends your sorrow does stem" point directly to the social pressures from friends and activists who expected both Dylan and Baez to conform to a specific political mold.A False Utopia: Dylan warns "Ramona" against believing in a perfect, activist-driven "world that just don't exist," calling it a "vacuum" and a "scheme"
Media has some people convinced Trump literally wants to rule the world; 8/4/26, 7:05 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...: X @herandrews: Evan Barker’s disillusioned Democrat memoir (out Jul 28) has some priceless firsthand observations of the modern Left:

“Almost all Democratic operatives, regardless of their type, parroted the same lines to each other. It was common for us to call Republicans racist almost daily, convincing each other that the ‘alt-right’ was ‘absolutely’ terrifying, a force that wanted to literally murder us.”

Via YouTube Akkad Daily; 8/4/26, 7:19 PM
Mr. T. ayon kay ...: The shining becon of left-coast socialism, the Graham Platner in drag, mayor of Seattle's is now in shambles:

https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/political-analyst-seattle-mayor-katie-wilsons-administration-tipping-point/281-d316b7ef-a370-43cf-8b62-e9d3f65dc993

It is funny listening to concerned comments of Seattle voters, who voted for your typical Democrat Stalinists of America "defund the police!" trust-fund emptyhead, now are whining that there was no communication or open info to the public about the recent shooting.

But remember you heard it here first- from KKKak who said that "these are the new generation of 'leaders' that the USA wants."; 8/4/26, 7:39 PM
William ayon kay ...: If Hamas was correct in their estimation that Israel is populated and directed by genocidal maniacs, what was the percentage play in 10/7?..........Israel has lost some support in the west, but I don't see how Hamas and the Palestinians have come out ahead.......Israel responded in a disproportionate way to 10/7, but what did Hamas expect? I rarely hear anyone write about how lamebrained they were. That was a catastrophically stupid move......Also I note in passing that Saddam, Assad, and the IRGC have responded in disproportionate ways to their restive populations without attracting a fraction of the criticism that Israel has......You can fairly argue that Israel's response was too much, but you cannot fairly argue that she wasn't playing by Middle Eastern Rules.; 8/4/26, 7:51 PM
Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ ayon kay ...: Rep. Max Miller broke his daughter's collarbone and threatened to kill her. Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller separates children from their families and locks them in cages. Are child abusing Republicans named Miller having a moment?; 8/4/26, 7:53 PM
Aggie ayon kay ...: When I was working in North Africa, the call to prayer was five times a day, over loudspeakers from the minaret, sung live and pretty high fidelity too. Our staff house wasn't far from it. I agree that in an odd way, it can be a stirring sound, I can understand why they do it this way.

There, around sunrise, accompanied by the acrid smell of burning trash (everybody had an incinerator drum), the dry smell of desert polvo, and the smell of rejected olives being cooked down to make soap at a nearby factory - all of these elements make an indelible memory. Kind of in the same way you remember the sound of the surf, from a seaside holiday.

But I wouldn't accept it blaring away in my home town, and no other American should either. Here, it's intended as a sign of conquest. If I were subjected to it, I'd park some huge speakers on my front porch and start blasting Sousa marches every time I heard the call, and I'd encourage everyone in the neighborhood to do the same. Worship away! I worship Sousa military marches.; 8/4/26, 7:58 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...: YouTube: Why Florence killed its entire ruling class – Ada Palmer...
"Regime Change" has never been easy, even when attempted from within. And maybe that's why Trump wont invade Iran.; 8/4/26, 8:01 PM
William ayon kay ...: In Iran, the roulette ball is still spinning. It's fair to say that this hasn't worked out as Trump hoped, but, again, I don't see how Iran comes out ahead.......Perhaps Iran will win this contest, but winner take nothing. It's hard to win at Prisoner's Dilemma when you're playing with homicidal, suicidal maniacs. Trump is probably more concerned about $4 gasoline than the leaders of Iran are with 150% inflation and the occasional deaths of their colleagues........The Taliban held on and eventually won. It was a great defeat for the patriarchy of America and feminists everywhere rejoiced.; 8/4/26, 8:04 PM
Gospace ayon kay ...: In absolutely ridiculous news of nations throwing off their colonial history, we have Nauru, henceforth to be known as Naoero, it's original spelling.

What? It's original spelling? They didn't have an alphabet or written language of any kind when they were colonized.

Quick, to yourself, pronounce Nauru and Naoero, and tell me just how different they are.

I still call Peking Peking and Burma Burma.

Smilin' Jack ayon kay ...: “Actually kind of pleasant. Give it a listen before you complain Islamic Call to Prayer Now Plays Five Times Per Day Across Minneapolis”

OK, but Islam is a pretty big cloud for such a small silver lining.; 8/4/26, 8:17 PM
Curious George ayon kay ...: Ben Wikler out there parroting Democratic talking points. Yeah he's a superstar.; 8/4/26, 8:28 PM
FullMoon ayon kay ...: lol.; 8/4/26, 8:36 PM
JK Brown ayon kay ...: The hour and half long discussion Bridget Phetasy with Evan Barker is very illuminating on what is driving Democrats and how the young staffers are bullying Democrat office holders to the DSA agenda.

Mason G ayon kay ...: " They didn't have an alphabet or written language of any kind when they were colonized."

Neither did indian tribes in Canada, yet somehow, they managed to cobble together some unreadable alphabet.

"I still call Peking Peking and Burma Burma."

Sure, but what about Deutschland?; 8/4/26, 8:50 PM
ForestwithouttreeS ayon kay ...: DOD has a trillion dollar budget and they are running out of precision missles and interceptors after 4 months fighting Iran. Seems like poor planning over many years; 8/4/26, 9:15 PM
Big Mike ayon kay ...: “Israel responded in a disproportionate way to 10/7”

@William, no they didn’t. The IDF was supposed to hit Hamas hard enough so that nothing like 10/7 ever happens again. If that means killing every male age 5 or older, it would still be a proportionate response.

Some 60 years ago a Turkish grad student at the University attempted to explain proportionate response by arguing that if he spat on me, I should spit on him and that’s the proportionate response. I told him that if he spat on me I would deliver enough pain and break enough bones that he never even thought about spraying on me again. He seemed to be working up a loogie and then he saw something in my face — and whatever was in his mouth stayed there or was swallowed.; 8/4/26, 9:22 PM
ForestwithouttreeS ayon kay ...: What did Hamas think would happen? The war would have ended immediately if the hostages were returned and Hamas disarmed. On the other hand if Israel disarmed all the Jews would be slaughtered. Big difference; 8/4/26, 9:28 PM
Original Mike ayon kay ...: "Fuck off with your wah wah."

He's just being open minded like you encouraged him to.; 8/4/26, 10:10 PM
ForestwithouttreeS ayon kay ...: Imagine if Mexico invaded Texas, killed and tortured thousands of innocent civilians and took 250 hostages. Not too hard to envision our response. Can’t live next door to terrorists. We would not stop till they were all killed or captured.

But Israel tries to do that the whole world screams genocide. If Israel wanted to kill all Palestinian they could have done that years ago.; 8/4/26, 10:11 PM
Original Mike ayon kay ...: I will say this about Dana Nessel; it's a little hard to be sympathetic as long as she remains a democrat. This is your party, Dana.; 8/4/26, 10:14 PM
bagoh20 ayon kay ...: Jew hatred make you stupid and everybody can see it except the infected ones.; 8/4/26, 10:23 PM
Peachy+2 ayon kay ...: Mandamni & Seattle mayor - Experiments begin to falter
Good lesson.; 8/4/26, 10:23 PM
Peachy+2 ayon kay ...: Anyone who uses the word "Zionists" is an automatic idiot.; 8/4/26, 10:24 PM
Eva Marie ayon kay ...: Supporting harassment over speech - not open minded.; 8/4/26, 10:26 PM
bagoh20 ayon kay ...: “Israel responded in a disproportionate way to 10/7”

What would you have suggested if it was your job to protect the men, women, and children of Israel?; 8/4/26, 10:28 PM
Eva Marie ayon kay ...: “I will say this about Dana Nessel; it's a little hard to be sympathetic as long as she remains a democrat. This is your party, Dana.”
I agree but these are considerations:
1. She will be less safe (and her family as well) as an ex Democrat than she is now.
2. The viciousness that ex Democrats face from their former colleagues, family, friends is really next level. (example RFK); 8/4/26, 10:33 PM
Original Mike ayon kay ...: "1. She will be less safe (and her family as well) as an ex Democrat than she is now."

Kinda like the mafia.; 8/4/26, 10:44 PM
bagoh20 ayon kay ...: DOW breaks 54,000 for the first time, another new record. NASDAQ up 3.4% in one day and just short of a new record.

America is kicking ass. Hey let's throw it all away on communism. What we need is more poverty for all.; 8/4/26, 11:18 PM
bagoh20 ayon kay ...: Correction: NASDAQ only up 2.58%.
It was just the stuff I own that was 3.4%. Ms. Pelosi is my role model.; 8/4/26, 11:23 PM
Saint Croix ayon kay ...: If the Commie wins, that might be right

if the Democrat wins?

after a slow count?

I don't know

who's counting the votes in the Democrat primary?

Come on, blue dogs; 8/5/26, 12:33 AM

can't hear herself talking...

Serious, in her left hand, she is saying men dressed up as women can take positions from women.

In her right hand, she's upset if men take coaching jobs from women (assuming cis women).

wendybar ayon kay ...: "We are at a crossroads right now. We can go left with the communists. We can stand upright, pick up our standard, and side with freedom-loving MAGA candidates. We can, like cowards, turn around, go back where we came from, and shut the door behind us. Or we can stand still and do nothing until we perish at the hands of communists or Islamists.

Those are the only choices. Vote like your life depends on it. "

Humperdink ayon kay ...: Our high school graduating class (1969) of 570 has a website. Every time one of our classmates passes, the obituary is posted on the website. About one every two months.

Of course some of our classmates just disappear.; 8/5/26, 6:00 AM

Mike (MJB Wolf) ayon kay ...: **Dana Nessel doesn't feel safe. Wah wah**

One of the strangest things about this blog during March-April 2020 was the way Jaq and RCO were normal commenters way back then and, shockingly!, did not turn every post into an “I blame the jooos” comment. Michigan’s Democratic Party is about half pro-Jihadi now and the cry “globalize the intifada” is common among the rabid supporters of El-Sayed and there have been credible threats of violence against any Democrats who in the crazy DSA terminology “support Israel.”

But RCO particular sickness now leads him to mock elected representatives who are threatened with violence and take the threat seriously. He sounds surprisingly like the pretty little jihadi that told the debater at Oxford last week how lucky he was that security was there to keep the mobs outside and inside the hall from killing him for his opinions. Lucky!

Yes we are so lucky to have the constant drum beat of “Zion is evil! Kill the Jooo!” from the smoothbrains here. So lucky.; 8/5/26, 6:44 AM
boatbuilder ayon kay ...: RC "doesn't care" so much that he has to post 3 times about it. Not obsessed. No sirree!; 8/5/26, 6:45 AM
narciso ayon kay ...: Hes been possessed by jean grey; 8/5/26, 6:57 AM
Leland ayon kay ...: I was hearing about the plot of the new Spiderman movie. Geez, Jean Grey is made into a horrible villain. She’s happy to possess and kill any innocent within reach, while doing nothing about the person that supposedly motivated her evil.; 8/5/26, 7:36 AM
lonejustice ayon kay ...: The last photo almost looks like a SpaceX launch.; 8/5/26, 7:52 AM
Mike (MJB Wolf) ayon kay ...: Let’s play “WHO SAID IT?” with contestants RCO, Jaq and an El-Sayed supporter: “Haley Stevens is 'plot being schemed by the pro-Israeli lobby'”; 8/5/26, 7:52 AM
lonejustice ayon kay ...: The last photo almost looks like a SpaceX launch.; 8/5/26, 7:53 AM
Jersey Fled ayon kay ...: “ The FBI opened a criminal probe specifically targeting President Trump in 2017, alleging he may have been acting as a Russian asset when he fired then-Director James Comey, even though the bureau’s own evidence overwhelmingly showed at the time there was no collusion.”

But we all knew that, didn’t we.; 8/5/26, 8:23 AM
Leland ayon kay ...: I was expecting at least some profit taking by now.; 8/5/26, 9:09 AM
Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ ayon kay ...: If you bought SpaceX at the intra-day peak, which was around $222 if I remember correctly, you're down about 50%. That means it needs to double for you to breakeven. It needs to add $1.5T in market cap for you to break even. Ponder that for a bit.; 8/5/26, 9:17 AM
Aggie ayon kay ...: You bought it at $222, didn't you?; 8/5/26, 9:51 AM
Leland ayon kay ...: If you bought into idiots claiming +$120/bbl oil a month ago…. If you bought into idiots claiming sub $40/bbl oil 15 months ago and expecting to last years…. Like Jim Cramer, you can make bank betting opposite of the bot’s predictions.; 8/5/26, 1:25 PM
Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ ayon kay ...: This quarter was difficult for analysts to model because its SpaceX’s first quarter as a public company and they provided zero guidance. Suspect beating estimates will be harder come future quarters.

In terms of the stock price, the first tranche of lockup expiry on Thursday is a much bigger event than this.; 8/5/26, 3:34 PM
AnotherJim ayon kay ...: FullMoon said...
"Actually kind of pleasant..."

I'll never forget waking up in Bangalore, India, in a 4-star hotel, to the call to prayer--along with a wave of dog barking from one end of the city to the other. On weekends, the smoke from burning trash pits added to the surreal atmosphere. It was pleasant, but in a very odd way.; 8/5/26, 3:42 PM
Narr ayon kay ...: I'd rather hear a cityful of barking and baying dogs than the Muzzie call to prayer any day, and twice on Sunday.; 8/5/26, 3:52 PM
Lazarus ayon kay ...: "Kids in cages" is another slogan that disregards the complexities of the situation. It also ignores the fact that "kids in cages" was an Obama-era thing.; 8/5/26, 8:17 PM
