RCOCEAN II said...: Here's a quote from George Bush, almost 25 years ago when he addressed the UN after 911:

We’re asking for a comprehensive commitment to this fight. We must unite in opposing all terrorists, not just
some of them. In this world, there are good causes and bad causes, and we may disagree on where the line is drawn. Yet, there is no such thing as a good terrorist. No national aspiration, no remembered wrong can ever justify
the deliberate murder of the innocent.

Any government that rejects this principle, trying to pick and choose its terrorist friends, will know the consequences."

My, my my. "No national aspiration, no remembered wrong can ever justify the deliberate murder of the innocent."

Lacks historical accuracy for those as old as I am. From 1955-1994 the House was controlled by Democrats, often an overwhelming majority. Newt Gingrich sent a shockwave through the entire political establishment by engineering a Republican controlled House in the 1994 elections. The House Republicans squandered that opportunity to do anything- they had no idea how to be the majority party.

And to this day, in my 71 year old life, the Republican Party as a whole has yet to figure out how to be the majority party when they control the House, Senate, and Presidency. The only reason the House switches party control at the 2 year point into a Republican Presidency- because they've done nothing. This time around they've at least passed some bills, but pretend Republicans still in the Senate have refused to act on them. I think it's fine they maintain the filibuster- not fine at all they don't actually require the filibustering Senators to speak 24/7/365 on the floor of the Senate to justify their filibuster. That would be great spectacle for the People to watch. What we have is a pretend filibuster that has only benefited Democrats.; 9/10/26, 8:31 PM

"Charlie Kirk died a year ago today. Forever in our hearts."

Here's my take:
Anyone who celebrates Charlie Kirk's murder should be shot.
Anyone who cheers for Luigi Mangione should be shot in the back on a public street.

Saint Croix said...: The nicknames we choose are so funny sometimes. I googled "gadfly" one time and it's a fly that buzzes around a cow's asshole. Also, Socrates. But the main definition is a fly that buzzes around a cow's asshole. Every time I see gadfly, I'm like, "He's asshole adjacent." Except I can't say that, it would make me the asshole. This is why "you're asshole adjacent" is a really bad insult to say out on the streets.

Theoretically, I could wait for some other guy to post something after gadfly posts something. That would give me the space to call gadfly "asshole adjacent." But then the next poster would be mad at me.

So I say nothing! As fly-in-the-asshole man (or Socrates) just keeps babbling leftist ideology and annoying the cows. On purpose, I think.; 9/11/26, 12:02 AM

Saint Croix said...: I didn't know this.

The NEA tried to erase the Jews from the Holocaust. Instead of teaching kids that Nazi Germany exterminated 6 million Jews, the new "guidelines" is that the Nazis killed 12 million people of a variety of faiths. No mention of the attempt to wipe out the Jews.

NYT thought that was a non-story.

WaPo thought that was a non-story.

The Trump administration opened up a civil rights investigation into the union and it's anti-Semitic mission.

News media sees nothing and says nothing. Y'all are fucking cowards and reprehensible cowards at that. If you're relying on liberal media to tell you what's going on, you are missing out on the truth. That's for damn sure.; 9/11/26, 12:30 AM

mccullough said...: Is the failure to specifically mention the 6 million Jews different than the failure to mention the other 6 million the Nazis killed?

About 3 million Soviet POWs, along with 2 million Poles, 500 thousand gypsies, 250 thousand physically & mentally disabled, and about another 250,000 people (gays, Jehovahs Witnesses, habitual criminals & other asocials).

The Nazis hated the Slavs as much as the Jews.; 9/11/26, 12:46 AM
Saint Croix said...: I'm aware of all that, mccullough. The Holocaust museum speaks eloquently about all the victims.

I object to National Socialists and their union propaganda team, trying to create a new Hitler Youth, in our society. Anti-Semitism is an ancient evil and they are up to their neck in it. Trump is right to go after these shit-heels. And you are wrong, sir, to applaud this revision and to simply ignore the very real attempt by Hitler to exterminate all the Jews.; 9/11/26, 12:56 AM
Saint Croix said...: Nazis are National Socialists and they are very much a big government solution. And indoctrinating children is Nazi 101.

Republicans ought to make it their mission to blow up this union and free our children from this evil.; 9/11/26, 12:59 AM
Saint Croix said...: If you think all these kids who now hate Israel is a coincidence, wake the fuck up. They've been indoctrinated to blame the Jews and hate the Jews.; 9/11/26, 1:01 AM
Saint Croix said...: I went to public schools. I was indoctrinated as a child to believe that Joseph McCarthy was just as bad as Joseph Stalin. I know how biased a one-party state is.

It's insane that we allow leftists to indoctrinate our children. All these kids terrified of climate change, and the rest of the neurotic left agenda. And now that the left hates the Jews and the Jewish state? It's unthinkable to leave these haters in place to teach our children.

Vote for school choice and crush the NEA. Crush them and break that union in two.; 9/11/26, 1:21 AM

Room full of women on the Oprah show starts cheering after a doctor says that black female child murderers need to be supported too, not just the white child murderers like Lindsay Clancy.

"I want us to have the same passion for [female child murderers] who don't look like Lindsay."

"There are women of color sitting around this country in prisons for [murdering their children]. I just wanna remind us to have the pink shirts and the energy for them as well."

Totally insane.

Humperdink said...: As a Conservative all I want is my freedom as spelled out in the Bill of Rights. Liberals, Democrats, and Commies want to take it piece by piece. And they have been largely successful through brainwashing our young people.

So Charlie Kirk comes along. What was his mission? Engaging young people, face to face, in spirited debates. Giving them a platform to freely state their case. What happened next? The political opposition killed him for it. And now celebrate it.; 9/11/26, 4:50 AM
Tina Trent said...: Isn't it interesting that JonBenet Ramsey was strangled in much the same way as the three Clancey children were, yet JonBenet was for years held up by race activists who claimed that only little white victims, mattered, and she was persecuted, and now these children are being erased by the same media?

It's not just generally about race. It's about valorizing some victims and forgetting others if their narrative doesn't serve some other purpose.

I believe Clancy doesn't reach the standard to acquit her, nor declare a mistrial. It just went viral, and people picked a political side.

For years, I've heard and read disgust by prestige newspapers and media ethics institutions that Jon Benet got rewarded with attention because she was white and pretty. Actual adults condemn her in print for being the wrong type of victim.

We passed laws to protect all children based on thier case, not relying on public opinion.

Meanwhile, what a fucking booby prize to be that terrorized, violated, murdered child. She is widely reviled in academic and legal circles.

She was six. And now here's the next step: treating other young children like their lives do not matter. How many here know that this excuse for a judge has had other cases of killings of children by mothers and fathers or boyfriends?

The Left is insane. Completely evil.; 9/11/26, 5:02 AM
Humperdink said...: From HotAir.com (Re: Charlie Kirk): “That grace was my biggest takeaway from watching Charlie over the years. No doubt he was “wicked smart,” as the old “Good Will Hunting” line goes, but it was the way he disagreed that separated him from so many of his political peers. You rarely saw him belittle. You rarely saw him insult. He would make sure the people who disagreed with him went to the front of the lines at events, but even when students berated him with some of the harshest personal attacks, he kept his cool. That’s hard to find.”; 9/11/26, 5:38 AM

Bruce Hayden said...: “IEEE is the world's largest largest tech organization. Or the scream the bad guys make in a Jonny Quest cartoon.”

The Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers. I have been involved with them for 30 odd years now. Last I knew, half the members were in the US, and the rest from everywhere else in the world. It makes international standards (like 802.11), is the primary publisher of papers in the electrical engineering (and adjacent) field in the world, and used to have an active grass roots organization. Used to, because local activism w as inconvenient to the international organization. Over the last 15-20 years, the voluntary side of the organization has been strangled by New Jersey (IEEE-Galactic). The side of the organization representing half the members (IEEE-USA) has been significantly defunded, and much of its power taken over by IEEE-Galactic. The IEEE has essentially been taken over by by its staff, who are grossly overpaid, venal, and now have a veto over anything IEEE-USA wants to do. With control over Publications and Standards, they make plenty of money, and no longer need volunteers. Standards is esp problematic, because huge companies essentially have to buy their way into the org, in order to have influence over the international standards in their industry. If they are a massive international electronics corporation, they inevitably bought their way in, costing $millions$ every year.

One of my best friends was the VP for Government relations for IEEE-USA. HE had been the chair of the Intellectual Property committee (IPC), and I ended up taking that over for awhile, while he was the GR VP. It was great fun. One of my jobs there was as a member of the Government Relations Committee, which he chaired. He ran for President-Elect of IEEE-USA, and ultimately lost, thanks to intervention by IEEE-Galalactic.

Overall, I very much dislike where the organization has gone. But It was great fun, while it lasted. The IPC would file a couple of briefs a year, either in the Supreme Court or the Federal Circuit (which has jurisdiction over patent matters). Several times, our SCOTUS briefs were cited in their opinions. Got to lobby Congress several times, and we testified before them on multiple occasions. And when I was the IPC chair, got to herd a bunch of cats. About a third of the IPC members were PhDs, a third lawyers, and a third everyone else. The PhDs tended to be brilliant, highly opinionated, and willing to do almost anything to get in the last word. About half the lawyers were suspicious. They were supposed to disclose whom they were working for, but often didn’t.; 9/11/26, 7:24 AM
Bruce Hayden said...: I am not that involved with the IEEE anymore. Lost a lot of interest, after the destruction of the grass roots side by IEEE-Galactic. But I have had IEEE.org and Computer.org email accounts for over a quarter of a century, so was paying annual dues, just to maintain them. Became a Senior member, and then, at 65, 70, or 75, or somewhere in between, started getting my membership free. Which was great, until I would forget to renew my (free) membership, and they would cut off my IEEE.org email.; 9/11/26, 7:36 AM

Copy/paste italics doesn't have the problem of the closing tag missing, not being read properly, or whatever. ANd people have started using them. Same with bold, or virtually anything else you ant to use- there's somewhere you can gopy/paste rather tan using HTML code which may or may not work.
