Taking it to da House
Timothy Birdnow
Anyone remember the t.v. show House? House was a doctor who was famous for his diagnostic skills (and his obnoxious, acerbic personality). Well, House Star Hugh Laurie has a diagnosis that is spot on - and gotten him into a world of trouble with the wokeratti.
[linkhttps://www.westernjournal.com/house-star-hugh-laurie-blasted-left-standing-sophie-cunningham-fight-keep-men-womens-sports/]'House' Star Hugh Laurie Blasted by Left After Standing with Sophie Cunningham and Her Fight to Keep Men Out of Women's Sports
Seems Laurie is not just a great actor (which he is) but also a guy who knows his posterior from a hole in the ground.
And that just barely; Laurie is in fact a Labourite, not a Tory and certainly not a Reform party guy (he's from Britain and was educated at Cambridge). But he's not an idiot, apparently.
Good to know!
I have a copy of the House series and think I'll pop that in; should kill many hours which would otherwise be wasted on commercial t.v.
Speaking of t.v. and British folk, I found a channel on Zumo that is nothing but classic Dr. Who. It's nice; I can turn on Dr. Who any time I like! Dr. Who was on from 1963 until 1989 when the BBC canceled it. With a change in administration at the British network the show came back in 2005, after a first, unsuccessful attempt to resurrect it in 1996 with a made-for-television movie that apparently flopped.
The new show was excellent if a bit liberal, but it has become both increasingly gay and increasingly trans. They turned the Doctor into a woman, then into a gay black man. Viewership has seriously declined in recent years as a result. I suspect it will eventually get cancelled when everybody quits watching, although the Leftist BBC will no doubt hang on as long as they can.
BTW The show made a hard gay turn when Disney got involved with it. It's now a partnership between the BBC and Disney.
The show is currently in a hiatus.

Stupid Curtis Sliwa Tricks
Timothy Birdnow
Oh no! Not Curtis Sliwa!
I always assumed Sliwa was Jewish. If he is then he's gone completely nuts.
He apparently was spouting off on "Islamophobia" and calling the 911 families "sore losers".
I fear he's been wearing that silly baret too long and it's too tight.

Rollin' on Round River
Timothy Birdnow
Russiagate - worse than you know.
FTA:
The White House Government Transparency Task Force released a trove of intelligence community records on Wednesday, including a recovered FBI spreadsheet. It cataloged more than six dozen prominent Americans, foreigners, and organizations tied to the Biden-Ukraine scandal and Donald Trump's 2019 impeachment. Democrats, including the Bidens, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barack Obama, and George Soros, were labeled "targets" of Russian disinformation. Conservatives investigating the Bidens, including Fox News, One America News, Michael Caputo, and Rudy Giuliani, were branded "conduits" spreading it.
It gets worse.
The FBI also tagged Trump's own Cabinet officials, Bill Barr and Mike Pompeo, along with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), then-Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), as disinformation "conduits." For what? Investigating whether the Biden corruption allegations were true. The FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force signed off on every single assessment.
This didn't happen by accident.
The designations came from a secret counterintelligence operation codenamed "Round River," which FBI analysts launched during the 2020 election. They claimed they were fighting "malign foreign influence," but that’s not what it was about. In reality, it functioned as the mirror image of Crossfire Hurricane, the bureau's years-long pursuit of the fantasy that Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election. Where Crossfire Hurricane chased evidence that didn't exist, Round River buried evidence that did, including Hunter Biden's laptop.
The FBI basically staged an attempted coup and this cannot go unpunished. The FBI should be disbanded.
When the FBI was first created there was considerable resistance to a national police force. They got around it by limiting the scope of the FBI. But now this agency has gotten completely out of control. It's time for it to be dissolved.

Judge Let's "Respectful" Would Be Cop Killer Off Easily for Being "NIce"
Timothy Birdnow
Liberals be crazy.
This guy used an AR 15 to try to take out a police helicopter and had multiple arrests on his record. He was not legally allowed to possess a firearm.
Here is the reasoning for dropping this guy's sentence from 41 years to just 13:
Post
Bill Melugin on X: "An ex con convicted of using an AR-15 to shoot and hit a LAPD helicopter w/ two officers in it last year has been sentenced to just under 13 years in prison instead of 41 years asked for by the prosecution after the judge said the defendant had acted friendly during the trial,"

@BillMelugin_
An ex con convicted of using an AR-15 to shoot and hit a LAPD helicopter w/ two officers in it last year has been sentenced to just under 13 years in prison instead of 41 years asked for by the prosecution after the judge said the defendant had acted friendly during the trial, had a substance abuse problem, and said she had the discretion to not impose the gun enhancements the jury had found true against him.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mildred Escobedo was apparently swayed by the scumbag's charm. Douglas Byers, a sixty two year old man, thought it would be fun to shoot at flying cops, a sort of Blue skeet shooting contest. That wasn't enough to get him put away for the rest of his days though.
This chick needs to be in another line of work.

Good Cop Bad Cop
Timothy Birdnow
You know, it was just a few months ago that the media and the Democrats were bitterly complaining the DOW was giving lobster dinners to servicemen and that they were being treated too well. Now they've turned 180*.
So which is it? Is Hegseth coddling the military, are they living off the fat of the land, or are they suffering deprivation and misery?
Newsflash - conditions on air craft carriers are NEVER a Club Med vacation cruise. They aren't air-conditioned, for instance. Their water is often somewhat brackish and it is hot. My brother was a PACE instructor, teaching college courses to sailors on several of them and his ship was deployed to the Middle East (he has a plaque thanking him for his service during Gulf war I) and he hated it. It was boiling hot all the time and even if you got a shower the water was warm and did not cool you. That is just the life of a sailor.
It's not supposed to be a luxury cruise; we are trying to make these guys tough. Fighting men need to be tough.
Now, when the DOW gave lobsters to military guys it was usually a treat for those going into some very hard conditions and it's always been done. But that was supposedly a bad thing.
Make up your minds media.
I would imagine our friend Bill will have a few thoughts on this as he was a submariner.

Since you asked. Ships leave port with supplies aboard which are not sufficient to last for the entire mission, counting on being resupplied in two ways; by underweigh replenishment from seagoing supply ships, and by in-port calls in foreign ports.
The former is usually pretty adequate for smaller ships such as destroyers and the like, but cannot even come close to keeping a carrier’s large crew adequately supplied.
Carriers absolutely have to make port calls to remain fully supplied. Nothing is being said about the destruction of US bases in the Mideast during the present war with Iran, but I have read from many sources that it has been severe. Confirming that is reports that air resources have been moved from Gulf bases to more remote bases and are therefor needing to employ more aerial refeuling in their attacks on Iran.
Given that carriers are being denied in-port resupply and are subsisting only on underweigh replenishment, they are almost certainly suffering from severe shortages of supplies to maintain manpower wellbeing.

Thank you Bill! All very great points and ones I would never have thought of (I have no experience with the Navy). What you say makes perfect sense.
Food probably is getting a bit unpalateable. That used to be common in the old sailing days - sailors relied on jerked meat and hardtack and it was not uncommon for food and water both to be full of bugs. But since we have bases nearby all over the world now resupply is much easier - except in the middle of a war, it seems.

Oh wah wah. The poor babies dont have whipped cream for their lattes or sprinkles on their cup cakes. Suck it up because you signed up for it. Are these stories about deprivation actually truth driven or agenda driven. 99% of the time agenda because they want Trump to fail and if the sailors ran out of mint for their juleps report it as a catastrophe. With China assisting the IRGC targeting a logical person would move assets. Dont do a MacArthur and leave your bombers parked with Japanese bombers on their way. As I type its being reported that the rotation of the carriers is taking place. End of story about the poor deprived sailors.

Nothing said about destruction of Mideast bases, and just today NY Times has an article about ship resupply suffering from destruction of resupply bases in the Mideast. Nice to have my speculative deduction confirmed.

Masshole Judge Spikes DOJ Lawsuit Against Harvard
Timothy Birdnow
If these were incidents in, say, Alabama against black students don't you think this court would not have dismissed this in so cavalier a fashion?
The Epoch Times article fails to say who appointed this judge.
Seems if you are Jewish and fear for your safety that is just a "minor incident". If you are gay or transgendered you get far better protection.

One Ring to Find Them, and in the Darkness Bind Them (the Cult of Abortion)
Timothy Birdnow
So why is it that pro-abortion politicians and others are so desperate to protect "reproductive rights" and will not even consider any sort of compromise? They fight for abortion up until birth - infanticide. Why is that?
Abortion is the prime sacrament of the Church of the Left. It binds them together. A woman who has an abortion has circumcised her soul and she has to accept the Left or admit she is a murderer and of her own baby. Just supporting abortion makes you guilty of a terrible crime and the only way to assuage that guilt is by joining the holy mother church of feminism. That is why they will not permit any compromise on abortion at all; it's the one ring to rule them all.
To further mix my metaphors, once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. (That was from Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back.)
Those who commit this sin or who stand with those who do reject the love of God and so have to go - elsewhere. Deep in their core they know this is wrong and they fear it is not forgiveable, so they turn to the Left, where they are accepted and in fact celebrated. This is how all evil movements work.
It's how all cults work too. Abortion is a cult.

Not So Hot
Timothy Birdnow
This from climatologist Gregory Wrightstone:
It has been widely reported that July 2026 was the hottest month recorded in the U.S.
July 2026 registered an average of 76.61 degrees F at 458 USHCN stations in the contiguous USA. That number was bested in July 1936 ((77.24 degrees) and July 1901 (77.84 degrees). Atmospheric CO2 levels more than 100 ppm lower than today for the two previous highs.

Childishness and the Big Green Boy
Timothy Birdnow
The latest climate doom porn.
Yes, we are likely to have a very powerful El Nino this year and the Gang Green has decided to recruit it into their service. In bygone days warmer than average temperatures have been blamed on El Nino and hurt the dooomsayers so they are now co-opting it, saying the El Nino is a "Super El Nino" and that it's caused by - you guessed it - Global Warming!
Of course we didn't even know El Nino existed until 1892 when Spanish sailors noticed it while sailing over Christmas (El Nino means "the boy" as in the Christ child). It got the name when Captain Camilo Carrillo told the Lima Geographical Society that sailors so named the phenomenon.
The ENSO - El Nino Southern Oscillation - has only been monitored since the twentieth century, so to speak about the "worst ever recorded" is to use a puny dataset indeed.
So this is just more climate porn. It's designed to terrify people who do not understand that the warming as we leave the Little Ice Age in our rear-view mirrors is going to see the ENSO intensify a bit. We may get some hotter weather on occasion (much as happens in the Southern Hemisphere on a more regular basis than in the more climatically stable northern) but it's just natural variability. But then, every piece of unusual weather gets blamed on "climate change".
This reminds me of the "Polar Vortex" scare of a few years ago; people didn't know much about it so the Gang Green turned it into another weapon in their endless arsenal of stupidity.

Texas Can Restrict Mail-in Voting
Timothy Birdnow
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has
overturned a lower court ruling blocking parts of a Texas law that restricted mail-in voting. The law was challenged under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fifth Circuit overturned the lower court, saying Texas has the authority to restrict such voting.
This bodes well for President Trump's efforts to block fraud via mail-in ballots by requiring the Postal Service to do the work Congress Just Won't Do. The USPS will be required to confirm the eligibility of voters before delivering the ballots to be counted.
A judge blocked the Trump Administration from requiring that. Trump is appealing the ruling and it likely will go to the Supreme Court.
No doubt the Administration lawyers will point to this ruling from the Fifth Circuit in arguing their appeal.
The Carter Baker commission, which was created with former President Jimmy Carter and former Senator Jim Baker to look into securing the vote after the election of 2000 warned that mail-in voting was ripe for fraud and recommended against it. Naturally the Democrats used the Carter Baker report on what NOT to do as a blueprint for running elections.
Covid really got this going. Before Covid there were absentee ballots which were restricted, but during Covid they hatched up the mail-in scheme and it should come as no surprise Joe Biden won the Presidency with more votes than anyone in history - ove 81 million - when he didn't even campaign or show his face. Millions of mail in votes were the key to his victory.
And the Democrats refused to end mail-in voting after the pandemic ended. That was the plan all along.
It's time to relegate mail-in voting to the same place that literacy tests for voting or other practices designed to disenfranchise people have gone. MIV is nothing but a way to disenfranchise legitimate voers.

Chicoms Buy Building Across from the White House
Timothy Birdnow
When are we going to get serious about national security and restrict foreign ownership of property in the U.S.?
Yes, a Communist Party member has purchased a building next to the White House.
Philip Qiu and Family Foundation purchased the Securities Building a scant 650 feet from the White House. Mr. Qiu is not just a senior CCP member but an intelligence officer.
Drones and other such things can be housed here and perhaps assassinate the President. It also makes a dandy listening post.
I cannot imagine how someone in the FBI or Secret Service is not monitoring real estate inside the beltway. This sale should never, ever been permitted.
The Chicoms are probably going to run a police station out of this too.
Perhaps, since judges keep stalling Trump's east wing renovations, the President should use eminent domain to take this property and make IT into his new ballroom? It should be easy to secure and a tunnel could be built between the White House and the building, making for a secure movement by the President and other officials.
At any rate this has to stop. Many other countries do not allow foreigners to buy property. Mexico, for instance, has laws against it, allowing foreign entities to take out leases but not purchase property. A cancelable lease, subject to review at any time, would be the way to go with foreign entities.
Congress should pass such a law, but they are too busy vacationing and not voting on important matters like the SAVE America Act.

Tumbling Drug Prices
Timothy Birdnow
Making medicine affordable again!
Another promise kept by President Trump.
Over the last year prices dropped by just 6.6% but that's just the beginning of what hopefully will be a long declining curve. I know it has been a bit less painful lately for me to get my meds (I take a LOT of medication). It should just keep getting better - as long as the Democrats don't get back into power.

Sleeping with the Enemy; The SCLP was Funding White Supremacists
Timothy Birdnow
Dr. Heidi Beirich was literally sleeping with the enemy; her boyfriend was a member of this white supremacist group to whom Beirich allegedly gave $1.2 million dollars. I guess the sheets they buy are Egyptian cotton. That costs a lot.
The article states:
The superseding indictment alleges that, between 2007 and 2023, SPLC quietly gave $4.1 million in tax-exempt donor money to violent extremist groups through a series of bank accounts and sham entities.
Some of that funding went toward costs for the wood and fuel required for cross-burnings, publishing racist pamphlets or extremist literature and other work to maintain the SPLC’s network of "field sources.”
(Take a look at the photo of Beirich to understand why she would hook up with anyone with a pair of pants.)
At any rate her chubby-chasing boyfriend apparently was an "informant" inside of the organization.
I have no doubt the Southern Poverty Law Center has been funding the real crazies for years to show there is a problem in America that only they can solve - they and their Democratic allies.
The SCLP has probably been funneling money to the Democrats for years on the sly, too. I suspect they are one leg in the Democrat's vast funding empire, one that now is being taken out by the Trump Administration. Trump has been systematically going after their illicit funding and I suspect we are going to see vast changes in the electoral map in the next few years as the loss of this illicit funding takes it's toll. Perhaps not the next election though.
The SCLP IS the hate group and always has. It's poetic to see them taken down by this scandal; they sow division and hatred and it's time for them to go.

Womyn's Sports: Bring on the Bearded Ladies
Timothy Birdnow
I was thinking about men in women's sports. I think we on the Right should embrace it; it's going to show what we've long needed to show, that men are in fact different from women and that there is an inherent advantage to being a man in sports.
The feminist movement was built on a lie. That lie was that women are no different from men and that in fact they are better because they are more communal. That should mean women's sporting teams work better than male sporting teams because they can cooperate more; there is less ball hogging or whatnot. And everyone remembers the set-up of Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King where the aging Riggs (who it was later found had
thrown the match to cover his gambling debts to the Mafia) lost to the young King. That was explosive and "proved" women were just as good at sports as men.
That has been the lie that has dominated our discussions about women in sports ever since.
I would add that the WNBA has spent years trying to be taken seriously with little success until recently and that for a reason. In boxing there are all sorts of weight classes - and nobody pays any attention to the lower ones. A Flyweight championship fight will be on the undercard of a Middleweight contender fight. Why? Because nobody cares about the flyweights; they simply aren't as good. Oh, pound for pound they might be, but you put a flyweight in with a Welterweight and the fight will be over by round two, probably, unless the flyweight runs like a thief. At best he survives by not fighting and loses every round on points.
People know that and aren't interested. They want to see the real killers, not the kids swatting at each-other.
So the WNBA has always had a respect problem. But they have been having some success of late, largely because they brought in some talented young gals (and the fact they are pretty plays no small part in it). Yet here we are with them ready to throw it all away with their willingness to accept "transgendered" men into their fold.
Go woke go broke.
So in a way we should welcome this; the men are going to completely dominate the league and show everyone that men are superior to women in terms of athletics. It's a bitter lesson but one long overdue. It should have happened when Billie Jean King played Bobby Riggs.
Until our society starts facing reality and quits pretending we can change reality by believing in lies we will continue to decline as a civilization. Civilizations must be based on Truths. Yes, there are myths, but myths often illustrate a moral truth we wish to convey. What we are doing now is creating myths that impact our everyday lives, and those myths are horribly destructive. Playing the gender-game is one of those. It promotes a series of lies that are being turned into actual policy.
So bring on the dudes, sez I! Let's put this foolishness to bed once and for all! Let the whole world see that this has long been a myth and that there is a reason why we have WOMEN'S sports! And that, yes, there are differences between the sexes.

The Housing from Hell
Timothy Birdnow
Here is the real-world proof that U.N. Agenda 21/30 is being implemented in California and across the nation. The high rise living units being built in small suburban communities is exactly what the Agenda 21 crowd mandated.
The illustration accompanying the article is quite instructive; it shows a massive high-rise next to a mall of quaint little shops. The high-rise stands there like a castle tower, or a Muslim minaret - something built by a conqueror to cow the public into submission.
Yes, this is about money and about integrating neighborhoods, but it's also about political power; this was Barack Obama's scheme to build big high-rise section 8 housing in suburban, often Republican districts so they can water down the Republican vote. It was a form of gerrymandering only instead of redrawing the districts you move people.
And, as I have said in days gone by, this fits with the "15 minute city" putting large numbers of people in small spaces so they need not drive anywhere. Put them into pens, like cattle.
My home town of St. Louis should have taught everyone this is a terrible idea. We had a series of housing projects (which is essentially what this is) that failed spectacularly. The most infamous one was
Pruitt-Igo, a big housing project that became synonymous with Hell. The sparkling new "decent" apartment complex quickly degenerated into a drug and crime-infested hellhole, and even the police stopped responding to calls from within it's walls. (Eddie Murphy did a stop motion animated t.v. series called
The P.J.'s which was pretty much based on it.) Within just a few years Pruitt Igo was condemned and demolished.
So the city fathers went to plan B which was a mixed use community called Laclede Town near St. Louis University and the theater distric. Nice little duplexes with lots of fresh air, because we all know the problem in the ghetto is not enough fresh air. These were supposed to be half public assistance and half regular people, because the problem of poverty was just not enough social contact with the working class! Of course it went about the way you would expect; the place turned into a crime riddled hellhole in just a few years. They did attract a few working class folks at first but those quickly moved out as the complex was overrun by crime and drugs. They eventually tore down all of Laclede Town, giving St. Louis University lots of room to expand (and making the campus safer).
These things were all attempts at "15 minute cities" where people could live, shop, and work within fifteen minutes, even if they didn't drive anywhere.
Such places CAN work if they are expensive enough to keep the trash out; rich people don't tear up their own neighborhoods. But you move the poor and homeless in and the place goes to pot because there is a REASON why people are poor and in America it rarely is because they can't find work. The poor in America are usually poor because they are trapped in a pattern of thinking that eschews education, eschews hard work, eschews sobriety. They usually pop children out like bowel movements, with no way to support the children.
I used to see it all the time when I was a property manager. It was heartbreaking many times as the children had no chance at all in life. I
wrote about my experiences at Orthodoxy Today years ago. Poverty in America was a mindset, a survival strategy that involved simply giving up and letting the government care for you. You party to forget your shitty life and spit out kids because they bring more money from the government and you live in filthy shitholes because it's easier than working and trying to make a life for yourself. That is one of the problems; it's much harder to be in the working poor than in the welfare class and so why bother? But there is a terrible price to be paid.
At any rate these are not the people you want as neighbors, and move them in next door and you are just asking for trouble. They are loud, get into fights, and they steal. Then when the good folks who rented or bought next door to them leave more criminals and institutional poor move in and eventually the whole thing collapses. So the state tears down the property and builds somewhere else, in some other decent neighborhood, and the whole process starts anew.
I used to live in St. Louis County (I'm now in the City) and there was a nice, working class neighborhood called Glasgow Village. This featured small but nice frame houses and it ended at the city limits of St. Louis, which had a long arm extending north into St. Louis county so the city could maintain ownership of a water treatment plant near the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Glasgow nestled right up against that arm of the city. And it was perhaps the best property in the whole of St. Louis because there was a bluff with a spectacular view. An amusement park - Chain of Rocks Funfair Park - sat atop the bluff (and they had a roller coaster called Mini-Mouse which, while very small and tame, had a wicked turn right over the bluff, suspending you in mid-air for a times). The city decided to build a small apartment complex for section 8 people. Then a mysterious fire burned down Funfair Park and the city built a new group of public housing on the site of the old amusement park. Instead of building high-end homes to enjoy the view (there were some halfway down the hill where it wasn't a bluff - high end homes on private streets) they put in public housing.
You can see where this is going. Glasgow began becoming increasingly "integrated" with people on government assistance and it became increasingly crime-riddled. The white working class moved out and it is now the worst community in the whole St. Louis area. At least one in five houses is now vacant and boarded up. Crime is rampant and there are constant shooting there. I used to live just outside of Glasgow and my brother lives there now, and he said he doesn't go outside after dark anymore. He used to go running at night for exercise but he would be in great peril. You can hear gunshots all the time around there now.
That is what this "affordable housing" brings. It's what "15 minute cities" give you.
There are people who like that, like the danger of living in a bad neighborhood. But most people just want peace and quiet when they get home from work, and want their property to hold it's value.
The fundamental assumption of the Liberal is tha Man is inherently good and that to fix problems like urban ghettoization one need but change the environment for the underclass and they will naturally rise up, learn from those who were more successful. The reality is the opposite; Man is inherently evil, as the Bible says, and rubbing elbows with the unsuccessful will drag people down. You turn working class people into thugs and criminals when you integrate the impoverished underclass with the working class.
Of course the Liberals also enjoy the pleasure of schadenfreude as they love rubbing our collective noses in it. That is the cherry on top of their policies! But their policies are lies straight from Hell and always have been.
This will ruin the good communities we have, and further erode our culture (which for the Left is the whole point). America was built on small communities, clean and prosperous. The Left seeks to destroy those so they can create a new America. They use the poor as one of their weapons.
But in the end it brings only ruin. And they can then sit amid the ruins, amid the ashes and debris, and thin themselves gods and kings.
Well, for once I side with their mantra - no kings. They need to go back to their homes in Hell.

Another Blanket Injunction from a Democrat Judge Over Mail-in Voting
Timothy Birdnow
It's like a broken record with these judges! And they simply refuse to obey the Supreme Court ruling that they cannot impose nationwide blanket injunctions!
Federal judge blocks Trump administration from restricting mail-in ballots ahead of midterms
From the El Zoro News article:
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani granted a preliminary injunction preventing the USPS from implementing or enforcing Section 3 of Executive Order 14399 for the Nov. 3 midterm elections, or any earlier federal election.
The ruling prevents USPS from refusing to transmit mail-in or absentee ballots under the challenged section and blocks rulemaking to implement certain regulations outlined in the executive order for the November elections.
The injunction does not prevent the federal government from providing nonbinding USPS guidance on ballot-mail envelopes.
Notice how she has a foreign name - one of many aliens given a judicial seat by the Biden camp, no doubt.
And notice how kind she was in the end, allowing the USPS to read "non-binding guidance from the government" which means exactly nothing as she has already banned any action taken against mail-in ballots.
Hopefully this will be overturned on appeal, but given the Left went judge-shopping and it's in Massachusetts it's going to have an uphill battle.
Question; is the U.S. Postal Service required to deliver all mail? It's not a Federal agency and in fact is a quasi-private organization wholly owned by the United States government. It does not draw money from general revenue - it has to ask if it's in trouble. So how can the courts compel the USPS to disobey Trump on this and think the individual states have a case? Let them run their own program to get mail-in ballots delivered. Maybe cut a deal with Fedex...
Of course Fedex would charge THEM more, and that is the whole point; they want the U.S. taxpayer to underwrite the theft of the election.
We MUST start punishing these lawless judges and rein them in.

I'd sure like to see it. It's too bad the Founders didn't foresee this sort of shenanigans and provide a mechanism that forces the various judges to Stay In Their Lanes, at the very least.

Absolutely Dana. You know, the Supreme Court - the only court specifically mentioned in the Constitution, does not even have enforcement authority over the other courts, which is ridiculous. They should be able to punish inferior courts that willfully violate their rulings but they don't have the authority. Only Congress can do anything about them and even then the only specific remedy is impeachment. Unstated they can dissolve the court, if they don't have "high crimes or misdemeanors" to remove the judge but they won't do it.
Yes, it really is too bad the Founders didn't foresee this problem.

Yellowcake in Syria: Proof Saddam Had it?
Timothy Birdnow
I remember when the U.S. invaded Iraq and there was clear evidence of convoys moving from Iraq to it's neighboring Baathist Party-controlled country of Syria. At the time many of us said they were moving nuclear material. The hapless Bush Administration did what Karl Rove always advised - just moved on instead of making an issue of it.
Well...
How, pray tell, did Syria get nuclear material in the first place?
The article states:
The secret nuclear program which had been developed under the Assad regime with the help of North Korean experts in the mid 2000s centered on the Al-Kibar reactor, which was mostly destroyed after Israel bombed it in 2007. However, several research-and-development and storage sites, mostly inactive, reportedly remained.
After the toppling of the Assad regime, the IAEA signed an agreement with the new Syrian government allowing it to visit the Al-Kibar reactor and several other sites connected to Syria’s prior nuclear activity.
One of the facilities Israel was closely monitoring over the past two years was called "Site 99.” According to two Israeli officials, the Assad regime stored nuclear material as part of the Al-Kibar nuclear reactor project.
Maybe they produced some of it on their own and maybe they got some of it from Iraq. Certainly the Syrians - close allies of Iraq - have now admitted to a clandestine nuclear weapons project. Why is it hard to believe the Hussein regime moved their nuclear stockpile into Syria?
Like many of us said all along.
We were told over and over that there was no nuclear material in Iraq and that "Bush lied and people died". But did he? This suggests he did not.
The program was inactive for many years; what does that tell us? The invasion of Iraq undoubtedly unnerved the Assad Regime in Syria, and they thought discretion the better part of valor.
You will note this says the program began in the mid 2000nds, just about the time Saddam Hussein would have moved his material to Syria as the U.S. was invading. It seems unlikely the Syrians would START a nuclear program after seeing what happened to Iraq at this moment in history. More likely they had a clandestine one going and then made a big leap forward when Iraq shipped them the material they needed.
Most of this material was yellowcake uranium. From Chad maybe? At any rate it was unprocessed. The article mentions the laughable "dirty bomb" scenario. Ridiculous and stupid. A "dirty bomb" is just an instrument of terror; it is no more radioactive than an x-ray even at ground zero. Less the farther away you are. The only value in a dirty bomb is to frighten ignorant people because, like, radiation and stuff!
Yellowcake is too valuable to waste on a dirty bomb. If you want one you should go dig up nuclear waste from containment sites.
At any rate I think this proves the claim Saddam Hussein had no yellowcake was probably a lie. But so much was back then.

Cars Flying off the Lots
Timothy Birdnow
This "terrible economy" hasn't stopped people from buying cars it seems.
I the public is smarting so badly from inflation and "affordability" issues why are they buying so many new cars? Anybody?

Speaking of flying cars, I watched a video of Chinese EVs exploding. One was at a charging station when it exploded launching the vehicle a good 20 to 30 ft straight up in the air. Wonder if thats covered in the warranty.

I caught something about that on OANN or Newsmax but didn't follow up on it Mike. I'm not surprised. The more power a battery can hold the greater the chances it will explode.
