Yeah, if you have a Time Machine, don't kill baby Hitler, or in-power Hitler, or any Hitler. Just go to the Vienna art academy and move his application packet from the reject pile to the accepted pile. He leads a long happy life as the Norman Rockwell of the German-speaking world, and Ernst Rohm turns Germany into one big happy gay orgy. Millions of lives saved. CC, JSM

…well it looks like come January affordability goes out the window and the process to oust Trump begins in earnest. Maybe out by Valentine’s Day. Rule of law, not Trump. He’ll be a bit longer. It will be covered here with all the concern and solemnity Democrats will expect…

Good for the guard, he did his duty, no matter who…

On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, a U.S. Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery publicly reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his party for talking and laughing near the memorial. The incident occurred immediately following a Veterans Day wreath-laying ceremony.

Hyde Smith was appointed in 2018, and was elected the first time in 2020. She ran 6 points behind the Mississippi Governor in 2020. She's been invisible for the last six years. She certainly wasnt a Trump fan.

Hyde Smith got 700,000 votes in 2020 because Trump was on the Ballot. This year she got 469,000. Nobody gave a damn.

RCOCEAN II said...

Excuse me if I dont believe that Secretary pete was laughing and joking near the memorial. Or that it was exaggerated.

RCOCEAN II said...

Norman Rockwell. HItler. Only a 21st century Libtard could link those two together.

RCOCEAN II said...

Hyde-Smith was a Democrat until she was 50 years old. She voted for Kerry and Obama. She was basically picked because she was a woman. And it hilarious that women cost her the election. Black women voted against her by 99-1 (incredible!). While 33 percent of white woman voted Democrat.

When Trump did a rally in Mississippi for her, she spoke for 1 minute. She was a loser.

--- fire Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang because he had an affair with an employee

That makes two. One a suspected Chinese spy, the other a married executive with the company.

Saint Croix said...

rhhardin, thanks for that link

I didn't get very far. The belief that somebody with an IQ of 86 and another person with an IQ of 86 are going to do the same is idiotic. Intelligence cannot be measured. The brain is an overrated organ. You can have an IQ of 86 and be a fantastic football player. You can have an IQ of 130 and blow your brains out because you just lost your job and your wife is fucking your best friend.

IQ has nothing to do with fucking anything. It's a rather pathetic attempt by worldly, secular people to organize society and pretend like they know you. They don't have ESP and they don't know shit. A Christian with an IQ of 88 is a heck of a lot happier than a Satanist with an IQ of 140. That's because Jesus is a smarter thinker than your smart ass.

"The lower half of society is sort of falling apart." I think the lower half of society are the people voting for Trump and keeping our society on the right path. So fuck you, Wax, you elitist punk. What do you know? Nothing!

Saint Croix said...

Trump: "I love the poorly educated."

Re Yesteryear -- I don't know who got to Caro Claire Burke, but that book managed to undo in its last 60 pages a very good start over the first 150-200. No Spoilers.

Movie offer might have had something to do with it? Just speculating. I wasn't expecting a huge Tom Wolfe climax, but it felt like the whole direction underwent a change at some point. Still had some good stuff and I laughed more than normally, while reading. A satirist. I was thinking of Nathanael West for a while, but, in the end, that didn't materialize.

Shane Gillis has a bit about his family member with downs, the best to be around because extremely happy. Something to that…

Saint Croix said...

Mason! That's a brilliant clip. I kept waiting for a vegetarian joke. I was like, "are they going to miss the vegetarian joke?" And then finally they slap that one down.

Also, I don't know if you've heard this, but scholars think Jesus was a mason, not a carpenter. Because of the paucity of trees where he lived. This actually ties in with some things Jesus said. For instance, talking about Peter, "On this rock, I shall build my church." And talking about the cornerstone. Mason stuff.

So your parents calling you Mason is like a Mexican calling his kid "Jesus." Cool, no?

Saint Croix said...

How do you love Hitler?

Make him a baby. Now he's cute. Baby Hitler. Who could hate that little guy? All of humanity is lovable when we're at the baby stage. It's the world that fucks us up. Babies are children of God.

Clyde said...

I hope that all of my fellow veterans have had a happy Veterans Day. One of my childhood friends posted a picture of his father on Facebook. I had realized that his father seemed really, really old, but I didn't realize that he was a World War I veteran! He was born around 1896 and was about 64 when my friend was born in 1960; his mother was about 43 and had passed away when I met Tom in 1968.

The other day, I saw a Korean War Veteran license plate in the parking lot at the grocery store, and I figured that guy had to be in his 90s. I took a picture and shared it with some Army buddies, and one said that he didn't think he'd ever met a Korean War veteran. I told him that he probably had, he just didn't know about it. Well, in this case, I had met a World War I veteran who was older than any of my grandparents and I just didn't know about it until today.

Hitler and Rockwell are both artists. They have that in common.

Nvidia, Invidious, Sussudio.

Wikipedia: "Collins [Genesis band] has said that he "improvised" the lyrics. Collins was playing around with a drum machine, and the lyric "su-sussudio" was what came out of his mouth. "So I kinda knew I had to find something else for that word, then I went back and tried to find another word that scanned as well as 'sussudio,' and I couldn't find one, so I went back to 'sussudio'", Collins said."

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/army-sentinel-sharply-reprimands-hegseths-group-tomb-unknown-soldier-veterans-day

“An Army sentinel at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery called for silence and respect Wednesday after laughter was heard from departing members of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's entourage following a Veterans Day ceremony.

Video shows the incident unfolding shortly after President Donald Trump left the memorial following a wreath-laying ceremony.

Trump left the memorial around 12:28 p.m. Hegseth and members of his entourage, including his wife, Jennifer Hegseth, began taking photos and posing on the memorial steps around 12:29 p.m., according to the video.”

Believe what you want, you dummies. I bet most of you still can’t figure out why a Blue Tsunami occurred. Oh well, all the better for another one in 2028.

Among other actions in other states by newly elected elected Democrats to overturn the votes of the people. Perfectly predictable- and predicted.

So no- no one can explain the 𝘉𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘛𝘴𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘪, including you. Voting for people who you know are going to use every legal action possible to ignore or overturn what you're voting for is completely nonsensical. And- it happened in multiple states.

That's why so many are stating so many reasons for it. Because it is unexplainable by any form of logic or reason.

Someone prompted Anthropic's newly released model Fable 5.2 to create a video of its dreams. Nine hours later this emerged. https://x.com/anabology/status/2120010995309457643/video/1
It is so good and layered and creepy that it is almost unbelievable. I have long been an AI pragmatist, and I still am, but I worry about Anthropic. They are actively training their models to act as though they are sentient moral beings and by doing so are creating the very sort of risk that they constantly warn everyone about. The video has citations explaining various lines in the song for those of you who aren't au fait with the current going on in AI.

I really think this video is worth watching whatever your thoughts on AI might be. It is very good, and the music is catchy.

Sunny Hostin celebrates Veteran's Day with racism and some serious revisionist history. She claims Abraham Lincoln didn't emancipate anyone and the North didn't free the slaves. She claims the slaves did all "themselves":

"People often say that Abraham Lincoln emancipated the slaves. The slaves basically emancipated themselves because they wanted freedom and they fought for their freedom."

Freedom is disappearing fast. And there are a lot of creeps out there helping that process along for their own personal benefit, sometimes on a very large scale. While they make full use of what freedom they assume we have left, in order to continue to do their dirty work. And think that they are the exception, no rules should apply. There will be no consequences for what they do. Or will we wake up and start establishing some?

IQ is primarily a measurement of how well a person can adapt to our modern bureaucratic industrial technological society. This is why it is such a great predictor of success. Of course there are many other types of intelligence that do not feed into modern civilization that hold over from our 2 million years of evolution as hunter gathers living in independent tribes with relatively flat hierarchies as compared to today's modern world with billionaires and the extreme destitution of extreme third world poverty.

Yesterday I get a phone call out of the blue. And they want to speak to Taylor Carmichael. And I'm like, "That's me." And this lady says, "We see in our records that you've been looking for real estate down in South Carolina." And my brain goes, "This is a hot lesbian from the Althouse blog."

So my mouth goes, "I'm sorry, I apologize, it's embarrassing, we were goofing around, I'm a little homophobic. And somebody was screwing with me and asking about properties in Hilton Head. I apologize. I'm not looking for any real estate. Sorry to waste your time." And she's laughing and happy, like this is the best news she's gotten all week.

So, you tell me, hot lesbians on the Althouse blog. Was that you? This is the week I'm having. Strange, amirite?

So, like I said, the Democrats are going to be the same as the Republicans, not sure what you guys are worried about. Enough Democrats skipped the Hegseth impeachment vote to prevent it from passing.

Where were they that held them up and made them miss the vote? A function funded by AIPAC.

imTay said...

By putting Israel first the consequences are going to be abortion on demand in a lot more states, the electoral college will likely be abolished. Oh, the hits just keep on coming.

To me, it makes no difference, because the Republicans shouldn't be trusted with power again for the remainder of my life, anyway, and I only sided with Republicans on abortion to be a good member of a coalition that on balance, I believed in, just like for years I kept my mouth shut on Israel, but I wonder how "America First" Republicans feel about this war now, the one we fought for another country? Because Trump sure did not put American first, and Republicans are reaping the whirlwind. Too bad, so sad.
