    I have to say, watching all the Lamesteam Media folks heads explode with all of Trump’s shenanigans is very entertaining. He Punks them without even trying AND he is owning the news cycle since the middle of last week. The fact that the left’s latest attempt to smear Trump with the floating garbage story was turned back on them via Biden is icing on the cake. 😀

    Someone said that Trump’s Rogan interview was equal to about $100 million in free advertising and this was predicated on Rogan’s 14 million viewership. But last I heard the interview has been view over 40 million times.

    After falling down a rabbit hole I found an interesting note about Mark Twain’s impression of author Bret Harte;

    “Harte is a liar, a thief, a swindler, a snob, a sot, a sponge, a coward, a Jeremy Diddler, he is brim full of treachery… To send this nasty creature to puke upon the American name in a foreign land is too much”.

    OK, now tell us what you really think. 😀
    BTW; This was in a letter to William Dean Powell about appointing Harte to the position of United States Consul in the town of Krefeld, Germany.

    OK folks this is what we’re dealing with; On Fox they were talking to people in a restaurant in Watkins Georgia where most patrons were Trump supporters but they asked a 20 something female who she was voting for and she said she was voting for Kamala ONLY because she had a medical condition that required her to be on birth control and if Trump was elected he was going to take away her birth control!?!?! ISYN!!! This pathetic moron shouldn’t even be allowed to vote! ~SPITS~

        There was a “Young Republican” gal sitting beside her that told her to do research to find out the truth about both candidates but her mind may have been already made up. My wife found this unbelievable but as I told her there are thousands of people like her that just hear the talking points and don’t bother to find out the real truth.

    It’s not hard to tell who your friends are.

    The annual UN resolution disapproving of the Cuba embargo came up. And the entire world, or nearly all of it, took a firm stand in favor of mandatory trade with a brutal Communist tyranny.

    The UN General Assembly voted 187 – 2 in favor of its pro-Communist resolution urging the “necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba,”

    The 2 were America and Israel. (Moldova, for some reason, abstained.)

    It just keeps getting better;
    Elon Musk’s mother says she felt ‘relief’ after bailing on ‘malicious and dishonest’ Democratic Party

    “When I became a U.S. citizen, of course, I was Democratic because they give you that option and because they’re the good kind people who care about America,” Maye told the hosts, explaining that she would watch CNN, MSNBC and read the New York Times, which depicted Republicans as terrible. “But then, they’d also say Elon is terrible, and I was thinking, why are they lying about Elon?

    “They really just cut into my mind that they just didn’t know what they were doing,” she said. “Then when I resigned from the Democrats, I just felt such a relief that I’m not part of the party that’s now malicious and dishonest. And my biggest fear is the fraud they are committing at the voting booths.”

    Emphasis mine.

    The Wayback Machine has been paralyzed and now there is no publicly accessible archive on the internet. We now have at least three weeks in which nothing has been saved. Now when the mainstream media edit their past articles or editorials there is no way to retrieve the originals to prove they are lying.

    Navigating this thicket of censorship and quasi-censorship has become part of the business model of alternative media. 

    Those are just the headline cases. Beneath the headlines, there are technical events taking place that are fundamentally affecting the ability of any historian even to look back and tell what is happening. Incredibly, the service Archive.org which has been around since 1994 has stopped taking images of content on all platforms. For the first time in 30 years, we have gone a long swath of time – since October 8-10 – since this service has chronicled the life of the Internet in real time.

     

    As of this writing, we have no way to verify content that has been posted for three weeks of October leading to the days of the most contentious and consequential election of our lifetimes. Crucially, this is not about partisanship or ideological discrimination. No websites on the Internet are being archived in ways that are available to users. In effect, the whole memory of our main information system is just a big black hole right now.

    Coat-tails? Alabama has been redistricted here in the southern part of the state but we got to keep our District #1 Rep, Barry Moore even though we’re now part of a portion Mobile. The new District #2 running from Montgomery through Selma and down to the northern (black) part of Mobile, is almost 50/50, 45/55 I guess and we’re hoping that Republican Caroleene Dobson can ride Trumps coat-tails and defeat Democrat Shomari Figures.
    FWIW; Dobson is new to politics and Figures comes from a long time corrupt political family

    I saw the red-headed college girl on Fox this morning claiming without any evidence to back it up that Trump would ban birth control. It made me want to scream. These Democrats are worse than criminals.

    There was a report yesterday about a Republican door-knocker canvasser in an unnamed swing state who said they had to dial back some of their speech about the Harris/Walz intentions about transgenderism and minors being taken from their parents because independents refused to believe it. They thought the canvassers were being outlandish.

      This controversy was born out of an interview Trump gave to KDKA News in Pittsburgh back in May. Here is the story and what Trump did say written in May.

      Earlier on Tuesday, he was asked in an interview with KDKA News in Pittsburgh if he supported any restrictions on the right of people to use contraception.

      “We’re looking at that,” he responded, “and I’m going to have a policy on that very shortly, and I think it’s something that you’ll find interesting.”

      Asked if that included the so-called morning-after pill, Trump said, “Things really do have a lot to do with the states, and some states are going to have different policy than others.”

    When one side has to vote the election too big to rig and the other side doesn’t and does all the cheating with impunity and all the voting ‘errors’ go in their favor it means at least 50% to 60% of the country not will believe the results.

    if Trump ‘loses’ there’s no way I will believe the results.

    it also means you no longer have a country because election integrity is completely corrupt and neither side of the aisle politicians in dc care and most kangaroos dressed as penguins don’t give a sh!t.

    In August, the second largest teachers union chapter in the country—there are more than 35,000 members of United Teachers Los Angeles—met at the Bonaventure Hotel in L.A. to discuss, among other things, how to turn their K-12 students against Israel. In front of a PowerPoint that read, “How to be a teacher & an organizer. . . and NOT get fired,” history teacher Ron Gochez elaborated on stealth methods for indoctrinating students.

    But how to transport busloads of kids to an anti-Israel rally, during the school day, without arousing suspicion?

     

    “A lot of us that have been to those [protest] actions have brought our students. Now I don’t take the students in my personal car,” Gochez told the crowd. Then, referring to the Los Angeles Unified School District, he explained: “I have members of our organization who are not LAUSD employees. They take those students and I just happen to be at the same place and the same time with them.”

    and,

    “They try to say antisemitism, which is really ridiculous, right?” said Guadalupe Carrasco Cardona, ethnic studies teacher at Edward R. Roybal Learning Center in Los Angeles. Cardona recently received a National Education Association Foundation Award for excellence in teaching. “What they do is they conflate. Part of that is by putting the star on their flag,” Cardona said, referring to the Jewish Star of David. “Religion has nothing to do with it.”

    But, she insists, that the course she teaches, and whose curriculum she helped develop—ethnic studies—is fundamentally incompatible with supporting Israel. “ ‘Are you pro-Israel—are you for genocide?’ And if anybody were to say, ‘Okay, sure,’ that’s really not ethnic studies.” (Gochez, Shattuc, and Cardona did not return requests for comment.)

    Did NASA name the S-band transmitters after Super Dave ? Voyager 1 left the earth 47 years ago and has traveled 24 billion kilometers. It’s still talking to its creators.

    “While the S-band uses less power, Voyager 1 had not used it to communicate with Earth since 1981. It uses a different frequency than the X-band transmitters signal is significantly fainter. The flight team was not certain the S-band could be detected at Earth due to the spacecraft’s distance, but engineers with the Deep Space Network were able to find it.”

    The team has confirmed that the S-band transmitter is working well, even after all this time and at such an incredible distance. They are currently working to restore the spacecraft to its normal operations.

      Naw, S Band (2.9-3.1 Ghz) was around long before the Space Race started and is just a lower frequency than X Band (9.3-9.5 Ghz). Each band has it’s own pluses and minuses but as a general rule, the higher the frequency the better the straight line performance will be. Back in the 50’s C Band (3.7- 4.2 Ghz) was used for almost all the weather radar (including aircraft) while X band was used for tracking. Now all or most of the aircraft radars are X Band. .

    School choice is a controversial subject in the Texas legislature each session. This story from Kentucky helps explain the resistance in conservative, rural regions to school choice.

    LOUISVILLE, KY—More Grace Christian Academy is located inside a small, run-down church in the West End, the poorest neighborhood in the biggest city in Kentucky. In 2021, at the height of Covid school closures, Cecil Blye opened the school, named after the nearby church where he serves as pastor. 

    There are about a dozen kids, almost all black, from first through twelfth grade. By the time most of them started at the school, Blye told me, they were at least two to three grade levels behind. He said none of their parents pay the school’s $100 a week tuition because they can’t afford it. Instead, he has to run the school for about $5,000 a month from whatever money the families can cobble together—sometimes $50 a week, sometimes nothing at all—plus the income he gets from his church and the donations of friendly neighbors and strangers.

    and this as well,

    At the same time, I saw a similar desperation on the faces of parents and educators in rural Kentucky, which votes overwhelmingly Republican, who worried what will happen if Amendment 2 does pass. One rural district superintendent, Carrie Ballinger, didn’t mince words when she spoke of the possibility.

    “It will devastate us,” Ballinger told me. “It will devastate our community. It will devastate our school system. And that’s just something that we can’t recover from locally.”

    So says Ed Morrisey…

    Unless Hamas throws in the towel soon and releases the remaining hostages, the IDF will not stop until it kills every last one of their leadership. That’s what happens when you start wars and then expect everyone else to protect you from the consequences. At some point, the Gazans will start executing these terrorists and put an end to the war — and let’s hope that’s soon. 

    I’ve been waiting for a while now, Ed.

    Even on the Right, there has been this theme pollsters have been accurate in 2024 and have corrected their miscalculations from 2020. They have to be right. Right ?

    The once Prince of Polls, Nate Silver, thinks differently.

    “Pollsters were ‘herding’ their numbers, or using past results to affect current ones, to keep Vice President Harris and former President Trump to within a point or two of each other each time” reports the New York Post.

    “I kind of trust pollsters less,” Silver said on his podcast, name-checking Emerson College. “They all, every time a pollster [says] ‘Oh, every state is just plus-one, every single state’s a tie,’ No! You’re f***king herding! You’re cheating! You’re cheating!” He fumed.

    Silver makes an interesting point. The 800 likely voter sample size of respondents is more than adequate. So why are the numbers in most of the seven battleground states within one or two points?

    “Your numbers aren’t all going to come out at exactly one-point leads when you’re sampling 800 people over dozens of surveys,” Silver vented. “You are lying! You’re putting your f***king finger on the scale!’”

    According to a campaign source, Kamala Harris is expressing regret about not doing the Joe Rogan podcast. She worries that not going on makes her look weak as both Trump and Vance have been interviewed, but her advisors have pushed back saying the risks are too high so close to the election.

    At one point the idea of sending Tim Walz to do the interview in lieu of Kamala was floated, but the idea was killed by campaign advisors who thought he might come across as too weird.

    There seems to be a great voting turnout already in early voting nearly all over the nation. One could guess that this represents how angry citizens are over the disastrous results the Democrats have thrust upon them in the last 4 years.

    The crown-jewel question “Are your better off now than you were four years ago?” leads the millions of “No” answers that reply, some of which are “Hell NO” with or without swear words attached. Voting shows the massive result of the replies.

    Gonna be of great interest to see Tuesday’s results.

    Spotted over yonder;

    Greetings from Guernsey in the Channel Islands. This is my Grandmother’s lightbulb. We believe she had electricity installed in her house just before the First World War, and this bulb was in her kitchen from the 1910’s until she moved into a care home in 1977. I was 15 at the time and removed the bulb when her house was being cleared. As a small child I was always fascinated with the orange glow that the bulb gave. I believe it is an ‘Ediswan’ brand, and wondered what the ‘10’ stands for stamped on the glass at the base. It still works.

    I’d assume that the “10” was watts? Especially if it had an orange glow.
