Why am I posting this? Who knows. We can still make things here in NJ. From Jersey Digs:
Former New Jersey Party City Will Become One of America’s Largest Doughnut Factories
A former Party City space just a stone’s throw from one of the country’s most prominent interstate highways is slated to become a lot sweeter as a doughnut factory will be coming to a sprawling industrial property in Rockaway.
Real estate brokerage Savills recently announced that a doughnut manufacturer is set to expand into nearly 125,000 square feet at 25 Green Point Road. The operator, simply known as Rockaway Holding Group LLC, will triple its space when it moves to the property from their 40,000-square-foot location in Lodi.
With the move, the company will become one of largest doughnut manufacturing facilities in North America. The complex will produce an estimated total of more than one million doughnuts daily for their client, who was not disclosed during the announcement.
…
The sprawling Rockaway property, which sold for $19.6 million in 2022, is situated on 13.7 acres. Formerly home to a Party City outpost, the single-story, flex building is situated directly off I-80 and not far from the Hiberia Diner.
Was hoping for chips, got donuts.
(This does not count as the first post)

I’m nearing semi-retirement, I think. Oh, who knows. Anyway, when I was in my early 20s, among the myriad of jobs where I toiled, one was working part time on Sunday mornings (after doing much partying all night) in an old factory/warehouse that made cookies, mini apple pies, goppy glazed things and all sorts of pastries. I loved doing it, had no idea how or way but I said my wind-down career is going to be making shitty desserts on an industrial scale. That doughnut factory sounds like my deal.
I liked the broader discussion on AI and everyone’s take last night. It makes sense that the birth of the Golden Age of America includes the implementation of this technology which is still in infancy and will usher in other advancements. Edison and Ford didn’t succeed on every ground-breaking attempt; it was two forward, one back. Same with AI and associated development. Same with everything we do, personally and from a seat in the global stands, witnessing it all like a spectacle. O’Biden was talking about turning on your record player, Trump is surrounding himself with tech madmen willing to push limits previously undiscovered.
Taking the bus into the city for the first time since the congestion pricing. Traffics c starts slowing at the Helix. Probably half the traffic is commercial.
AI will ultimately create some great gains in society, but it is severely overhyped as far as its current capabilities. The current iterations of AI have trouble with basic science, so the idea that it’s going to detect and cure cancer for you anytime soon is far fetched. It’s no different than people in 1998 going “Internet is going to make everyone smart”….well….the opposite happened, but we did get tons of good out of it.
“And the answer is: Congestion Pricing.”
“What is, ‘extorting the muppets to prop up unfunded liabilities.'”
“Correct! Go again!”
The pure arrogance of Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde is stunning. Particularly abhorrent when people mix religion and politics. Such people act as if they have moral authority, when in reality they are the worst among us. They are the pickpockets of the human soul. Stealing from the unsuspecting. Sickening.
This whole election was based on religion and politics.
“The pure arrogance of Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde”
Stunning? I would have used the term expected, after considering how far back Trump has set women and those born in the wrong gender. Heck, even the church finally caught up with the times on many issues. What is stunning is seeing Trump in any place of worship after not belonging to one his entire life until he first became POTUS and had to put on the show. Quite frankly, he should have spent the entire mass in the confession booth, and then some.
The stunned look on Trump’s retarded offspring and the pure evil bitch whoRe face Trump’s “wife” had was priceless. Truly the scum of the Earth.
Today Google/Deepmind also released a new reasoning model. OpenAI will have agents/operators soon. This field is in fierce competition. However, the hardware requirements are vastly overblown. China shop showed us great models even slower GPUs.
Had been doing chips for 25 years, Hardware is never enough. But overall the cost of computing is going downhill all the time. This 500B is definitely half hardware half power. Interesting not seeing any power generation, any nuclear, and Elon in there. BTW Elon dissed this over X. This is just the beginning of catfight.
This is just the beginning of catfight.
Good. Let it escalate. Competition breeds battles.
LAX, I’m glad you are calling out the bullsh1t.
It gets tiring calling out the fascists.. but thank you for keeping on it. It takes a mental toll, and the reason people are quitting regular social media in drones. I don’t want to give up on this blog yet because of the Right’s ignorant arrogance.
Pretty sure I had covid again. My tastebuds are back. Thought I had a cold a day or 2 after Christmas. Woke up New Year’s Day and couldn’t stop coughing and sinuses were so clogged my hearing was bad too. The coughing lasted a few days. Coffee tasted bitter and burnt and I couldn’t taste chocolate. I could tell a chocolate bar was sweet but couldn’t taste the chocolate. Same thing with my yogurt smoothies. Couldn’t taste the fruit in it or the cocoa powder. And things like macadamia nuts could barely taste them. Most things tasted dull or stale. Got a little better last week, but this morning coffee tastes normal and I could taste chocolate and fruit and cacao powder in my smoothie.
HMB,
Sounds like Covid for sure. Glad you are healed. On the bright side, you are so much less likely to get it again this winter and now have antibodies to help you next winter. Now imagine how much worse it was for those who got it in the first round when it was the strongest and no one had any built-up defenses from vaccines or prior sickness.
“Competition breeds battles.”
I guess then, we can use the same logic when say, AOC far left insanity clashes with the more moderate policies of the Dem establishment?
It takes a mental toll, and the reason people are quitting regular social media in drones.
Are they flying the drones and smashing their electronic devices at the same time? Isn’t that dangerous? Like… smacking into the GW Bridge or something?
Trump hired the preist as an actor for his show, leased the church as well.
In America, there is a little ol’ granny in her rocking chair seeing ol’ Trumpy in church, her thought is ” he is a good God fearin’ man.”
Ain’t no seperation between God and state, before you lead these church going sheep to the abattoir they need to be tricked into thinking their savior is watching over them.
I guess then, we can use the same logic when say, AOC far left insanity clashes with the more moderate policies of the Dem establishment?
AOC is the Dem establishment. There is no clash, they’re all the same. She is a part of a gaggle that represents misfits, oddballs and outcasts screaming into the night like Renfield. The deranged, fanatically devoted servants of the far left snort and grunt in glee for a never-ending supply of political insects to consume. They are the under-miners of humanity.
To my dear republican friends on here, please take them back to the chamber for an exorcism

I love how she refuses to leave, calls the cop a liberal, and proceeds to go on a psyco scream fest.
Lady, all you need to do is just leave. Calling that cop something as offensive as “liberal” isn’t gonna help you in this situation. And your daughter is a nasty little hornet as well.
Q. Is it a republican tactic to make a fake fall like she was attacked by the cop?
I only thought liberals were fakers. Instant replay shows no contact, no violation.
Ruling on the field stands.
Now imagine how much worse it was for those who got it in the first round when it was the strongest and no one had any built-up defenses from vaccines or prior sickness.
A huge percentage of the population had zero symptoms on first infection. Also, I lost my sense of smell 3 times this year. Never bothered testing so I’m not even positive that prior infection immunity lasts more than a few months now.
A bigger flooper than Mahomes. Thank you for that link. You are doing God’s work, and you work in the emergency room too.

Thanks. I’ve had Covid with positive tests 3 times and suspected I had it a few others. This is the first time my tastebuds went wacky for weeks. The ability to taste really is one of the great pleasures in life.
BRT
Do you take quercetin? I started taking it again daily last week and my tastebuds came back. Don’t know if that’s coincidental or if quercetin helped my recovery.
Trump renames it Gulf of America. Snow falls on it.

Hold, I did take like 4 years ago but it didn’t do anything for that. There’s no reason it would. Your immune system scorched your nerves. That have to grow back.
The past couple of times, I’ve lost about 80% of my ability to smell. It seems to slowly come back. The first time it happened, I had 0.00001% of my smell. I actually did an exercise where I blindfolded myself and we tested out rosemary, cinnamon, lavender, and lemon to see if I could blindly tell the difference (horrible results), but apparently, it speeds recovery. It’s like nose rehab. I don’t have the time right now to be bothered.
BRT
I will try sniffing spices if this happens to me again.
I was farting up a storm with Covid. It was the greatest. A family member would catch a whiff and would then yell, “who farted?” I would respond with, “I can’t smell anything!’
HMB
Try sniffing hair. Apparently you can become a President even with dementia if you have quality hair sniffing ability.

“considering how far back Trump has set women…”
Can you expand on this? How has T — who has the first female Chief of Staff and a female AG — set women back at all, and exactly how far back has he set them in your TDS-addled mind?
By the way, does anyone remember when that guy named Joe was president? Gone and all but forgotten in a day, with only his pardons of his corrupt family members and political henchmen as his legacy!
I always take Paxlovid as soon as I test positive, (3 times) and each time it significantly reduced symptoms within 24 hours. Except the first time I got a rebound about 5 days later which was my worst case of Covid, probably because I stopped the Paxlovid as soon as my symptoms improved, which was too soon. The main side effect of Paxlovid for me is a persistent bitter taste for as long as I’m taking it.
As an over 50 guy I ask my doctor to pre-prescribe Paxlovid and I bring a treatment with me on every overseas trip, and it came in handy once, big time – got a fever, tested positive, took Paxlovid immediately, fever and symptoms basically disappeared overnight, no interruption to trip, nobody caught it from me either, because the symptoms that lead to biggest spreading chances never developed.
Too bad colds aren’t as easy to stop – I wonder if Paxlovid works on colds.
By the way, does anyone remember when that guy named Joe was president?
The bigger question is whether Joe remembers when that guy named Joe was president.
I notice even lefty journalists are shocked and pleased to have a president that is capable of answering questions like a non-dotard. The Q&A during the EO signings was a real change of pace. Even though Trump lies, exaggerates and distorts, at least it’s an actual human listening and responding. For five years Biden tried to hide his incapacity by being very unapproachable, very scripted. I wonder if he borrowed some of Hunter’s energy powder for that one debate way back when he seemed semi-alert, which was a real outlier in his recent history.
Trump bothers me for many reasons but he’s not a half-dead meat puppet propped up by self-anointed “experts” like Biden was. And Kamala was a live meat puppet who also would have been propped up by “experts” and who will be forever remembered as an exemplar of a “diversity hire” incapable of doing her job competently.
Viruses: I’m in day 4 of a nasty cold. I had a slight fever on day one. I can smell and taste so I’m going with ‘nasty remnants of the Spanish Flu’ for this one.
Like I need to explain something so obvious. But maybe it isn’t. For dummies, choosing a woman as Chief of Staff has benefitted a total of one women. What a leap forward this represents. Didn’t Clinton appoint Janet Reno AG over thirty years ago? Another great Trump accomplishment for women.
Now let’s look at how he has set them back (like an alpha male even cares):
1) His appointees to the SCOTUS, who lied about how they would handle abortion prior to their nominations, overturned RVW making it illegal for women to make their own healthcare decisions in many states resulting in numerous deaths of pregnant women. This decision, has significantly reduced the number of reproductive care specialists in these states as they fear prison sentences for performing health care. Go Jesus! So much for separation of church and state.
2) Undermine the ACA’s birth control benefit. That’s right. Birth control is no longer covered. Go Jesus number 2!
3) Eroding equal pay by halting pay data collection on the EEO-1 form. Hey, if we don’t collect the data, then we can say it ain’t true. Just like nearly every lie that comes out of the carnival barkers hatred mouth.
4) Then there is his Title X cuts which lead to less prosecution of sexual abuse cases, reducing the overtime threshold which really socks it to black women.
I would go on as there are four or five more, but you will deny any of this happened even though it is all 100% factual.
Typical MAGA idiocy. Oh look, Trump let a woman fly Air Force One. Woman can be pilots? Since when? Trump mustove done dat. See how GREAT he is? He supports Cletus and the fetus.
The Q&A during the EO signings was a real change of pace.
It had a podcast feel to it. Trump is more impromptu than ever and yeah, after listening to joe and the ho for four years, it’s a relief to hear and see reality. We can expect to have transparency and access for the next four years.
Cletus and the fetus… a new sitcom? A crime-fighting duo? The warm up band for Hootie and the Blowfish?
Libturd,
I can’t wait until Trump signs the executive order to trade women little chattel. And yes, I meant chattel, not cattle because come on, I’m not insensitive. Geez! Come on, bro… you and I can trade! I’ll give you three house wives for a quasi supermodel and a chamber maid to be named later!! Dude! We’re rockin’ it here!
Well Eddie,
Someone has to reign in these women. Trump might be the guy to do it.
Can’t have them screaming and fighting at high class hotels, calling the PoPo liberals, etc. As the “God fearers” might say, that’s blasphemy!
Glad you enjoyed my video today.
“America got the president it deserved.”
Phoenix.
Access, maybe. Transparency, from the guy who doesn’t reveal his taxes and rarely explains his decisions, like why he backed Gaetz when nearly everyone around him was telling him that he had serious ethical issues. At least he was honest about wanting to be a dictator.
4:08 the guy won. He is the leader of the “free” world. Let’s see what he does with that. My guess is that he’s lazy, like he said he’d look at all of the Jan 6 people and see if they merited a pardon, then said “fuck” it I will just pardon everyone. Lazy. Guy hasn’t worked an honest day in his life. Yet somehow he’s the savior of the working man. lemme know how that works out for ya.
I still can’t understand how people can’t see through him. This is a guy who hobnobbed with the Clintons and used to be quite liberal. I understand why you might be entertained by him, as even I even liked him when he was a guest on Howard Stern regularly (who by the way, refuses to come on now since Howard refused to endorse him when Donald asked him too). But after listening to those shows and witnessing his failure after failure in the business world, and his weird beauty pageant, hooker and European woman fetishes, I would never consider him to be our country’s statesman. As MC at my son’s wedding? Absolutely. As a morning talkshow host? Sure. But as POTUS, you would have to have some really strong powers or an inane ability to ignore his endless faux pas in the past and his abysmal performance as 45. And 3b is correct, that Dem choice was terrible, to which I agreed and that a lot of Dem policies swung too far left and became untainable. But Trump? The dude tried to overturn the results of our election through a riot! How can people ignore this? Even the stolen election bullshit. I can understand the Dem establishment dissappointment. But Trump is simply a terrible leader to rule the free world.
When he hugged the American flag. Oh, what a show! And half of America bought it.

Oy vey!
Zelensky has lost his mind…. 200,000 US and EU troops stationed as peacekeepers in his country? Who is going to pay for that?
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the World Economic Forum on Tuesday that at least 200,000 peacekeepers would be needed under any agreement.
And he told Bloomberg that any peacekeeping force for his country would have to include US troops to pose a realistic deterrent to Russia.
“It can’t be without the United States… Even if some European friends think it can be, no it will not be,” he said, adding that no-one else would risk such a move without the US.
Juice,
You are correct, but the sad truth is, it will definitely cost us more to keep this farce of a war from ending. Russia is not going to back down until our boots are on the ground. Musk will figure out how to pay for it. Maybe they can use all of the additional revenue the tax cuts will bring in? I kid.
Lib – Just now the Laken Riley Act passed 263-156. 46 democrats were brave enough to cross the line. Wasn’t going to happen a few months ago.
Stricter immigration measures is what people wanted. Millions of democrats voted for Trump because of this, they don’t want unfettered immigration. Orderly yes…but not the open border. Biden and later Kamala when they were running were totally tone deaf. I mean totally. Chuck Schumer from the Senate kept trying to bundle some sort of immigration reform with Ukrainian aid and refused to separate the measures.
Now we have a separate measures being voted on.. No more tricks. For now anyway.
Oooppsss… caught with lots of Benjamins too. No bribes allowed in Ukrainian Hryvnia.
“Ukraine has detained its army’s chief psychiatrist for alleged “illegal enrichment” charges related to earnings of more than $1m (£813,000) accrued since the start of Russia’s invasion in February 2022.
In a statement, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) said the man sat on a commission deciding whether individuals were fit for military service.”
Nicely laid out $100 Benjamins…I wonder how many went missing during the raid?

Lib: I did buy SoFI shortly after your recommendation. I had to check and see exactly what the company does, almost no research on my part. You were right. Thank you.
As for the US committing troops to Ukraine, I am confident Trump won’t do that. I could be wrong but don’t see it.

“making it illegal for women to make their own healthcare decisions”
Stopped reading after this moronic drivel. You need to stop getting your news from Joy Behar — or submit your resume to replace her on The View when she retires; you’d fit right in with your hysterics and very tenuous grasp of the truth. And by the way, reasonable and rational people have all come to realize that women are far less safe as a result of Joe’s open borders than they are as a result of SC correctly pushing the decision on abortion back to the states and our elected legislators (you know, the people whose job it is to make laws).
8 miles wide fire by Santa Clarita. Getting smoke
at my place and we’re 60 miles away.
Juice: Zelensky is crazy! No way the US and EU will commit 200k troops to Ukraine. It’s simply not going to happen. Things might have turned out differently if the U.S. and EU did not insist on giving arms to Ukraine piecemeal. Another blunder on Biden’s part. If nothing else, Ukraine might be in a better negotiating position when the time comes and negotiations actually start.
In other news birth right citizenship is a hot topic now. There is a guy I know, his parents are Irish immigrants like mine and yours. His parents came legally like ours did, followed the process, that so many today think is wrong. He is concerned his citizenship will be revoked, and he can be deported. You can’t make this stuff up! It’s a good thing I have my Irish citizenship, and my kids too, just in case they take them too. I also have a piece of land, so I can build a house too. Democrats or Republicans, left or right, there are millions of Americans ignorant and ill informed Americans out there. And being educated does not mean one cannot be ignorant. Going to look at some house plans now so I can get going quickly with the build in case I am deported.
NYC starting next year will ban student cell phones in schools. She will also provide 13 million dollars in funding to study the best method of storing the cell phones, such as pouches, cubbies, or lockers. Can’t make this crap up.

Gary,
Want some Trump transparency? Search for Donald Trump rigged election in TikTok. You will find no results, if you are in America. If you are in Europe or nearly anywhere else, it works like it used to before the shutdown. Now is it any surprise Shou Zi, Tik Tok’s founder and Bytedance’s CEO attended Trumps inauguration? Or that there is a message thanking Trump for the return of TikTok when it’s launched? Tranparency my ass.
If you recall, Trump wanted to ban Tik Tok as he felt China could manipulate the American public. But now that he uses Tik Tok to manipulate the American Public into voting for him, then why would he ban it.
Feeling great yet about being duped? Transparent my fat ass. Of course, MAGA can do no wrong.
Google doesn’t exist in China because they refused to censor what the Communist gov’t deemed inappropriate. Trump is turning us into China. Isn’t it Great?
it happened before.
Just like big media didn’t even discuss the $TRUMP grift coin properly for 40+ age group, they will mostly omit all sensitive critique of this regime. Big ad spenders, government function will implicitly silence them. Just like msnbc clowns, they would go to dine at breakfast to kiss the ring.
We will see droves of media people opening their own channels in Youtube, X, BlueSky etc. Wpost is losing a lot of people since their ideas/commentary is not free anymore. While China is going opensource, we are becoming oligarchic like Hungary/Russia/Turkey.
Yup! I be draining the swamp or simply contaminating it more? Isn’t it great? Trump is again displaying his true colors. MAGA is really no different now is it? Won’t be long before the one’s who thought he’d be helping realize that Trump only cares about enriching himself. It’s the art of the deal. And he’s going to take our country down with him.
I think you are probably right.

This AI/health connection is fascinating. Most of us here know the GI/GO scenario is a challenge. Data needs to be collected and the input needs to be as flawless as possible. That takes time because even with advancements with AI, the models need to present an accurate snapshot. This morning, SELLAS Life Sciences CEO Angelos Stergiou said they’re 3 to 4 years from a leukemia vaccine. Doctors will be diagnosing you within the next couple of years in a preventative manner before major health issues arise. It’s all so new and exciting. I’m glad Trump is pushing these initiatives which will hatch a whole new industry and jobs.

Trump is taking his typical unprincipled attitude to the TikTok issue, where he’s more interested in showing off how he can cut a deal than in protecting the US from Chinese propaganda. TikTok has already shown us how they can use AI to prey on little phoenix’ brain, turning him into an America-hater, especially an American woman-hater, sending him down rabbit holes when he’s vulnerable.
On Ukranian deployment, it sounds like S.Korea. Why doesn’t Trump want to turn this into a money-maker for the US, to boost US service exports? Average total cost per person deployed is about $150k per year. So 200,000 military people would cost $30 billion per year. (For perspective, total US military budget is about $830b/yr).
Trump could price that for a 40% gross margin to Europe, and demand $50b/yr for US security services. Non-US NATO defense spending is about $300b, so paying for the US and also adding their own troops in Ukraine will help them reach their 2% of GDP targets. Also, it’s the DEI people in the military most likely to have Ukrainian flags in their twitter profiles, so as their DEI jobs are cancelled, they can be the first to volunteer for redeployment in the Ukraine: win/win/win.

What’s the timeline for Cuba’s $1/month leukemia vaccine?
Trump Pardoned Her for Storming the Capitol. ‘Absolutely Not,’ She Said.
Pamela Hemphill, 71, of Boise, Idaho, who served 60 days in prison, said it would be “an insult to the Capitol Police” if she accepted the pardon.
She said she did not want a pardon.
“Absolutely not,” Ms. Hemphill said in an interview on Wednesday. “It’s an insult to the Capitol Police, to the rule of law and to the nation. If I accept a pardon, I’m continuing their propaganda, their gaslighting and all their falsehoods they’re putting out there about Jan. 6.”
Ms. Hemphill, 71, who was called “MAGA Granny” in some news headlines, has said that she no longer supports Mr. Trump or believes his lie that the 2020 election was stolen. She said that a therapist had helped change her view of the attack by telling her she was “not a victim of Jan. 6; I was a volunteer.”
“I lost my critical thinking,” she said on Wednesday, reflecting on her involvement in the riot and the “Stop the Steal” movement. “Now I know it was a cult, and I was in a cult.”

On Doge, I have a friend who got a “retirement job” with the military. He only did it because it’s work from home. He’s 1.5 years in. He already told me that in year 5 (his planned last year), he wants to take off like 150 days (the sick days build up). If he is forced to go in, he’s going to quit. It’s a good strategy instead of mass layoffs to just force them to come in.

No one is above the law except Adam Shit, Liz ‘Lon’ Chaney, the rest of the J6 cast and, of course, the O’Biden syndicate family. Remember the hemorrhage the left was having four years ago at the thought of preemptive pardons? So, Trump turns around and sends a big ‘fuck you’ to all of them and pardons the protesters. Good. Does this p1ss off the left? Good.
12:26 I think you’ll have a few in law enforcement who aren’t happy about pardoning those who hurt or kill cops. You seem to wish for lawlessness but something tells me you’d be one of the first fat little piggies to squeal.
“Lib, is that concluding statement included at the bottom of your email signatures now?”
Only when it’s true. Unlike the MAGA dreamers here who claim Trump shits 24 K gold turds and pisses 30-year aged bourbon.

Do any of the MAGA here want to admit that Trump’s Tik Tok move was deplorable? Or having Chinese dignataries it his inauguration? Or is selling out to your enemy okay? I thought we were invading Greenland before the Chinese did?
That’s right. MAGA can do no wrong.

The results will speak much greater volumes than worrying about whether people in an internet forum/blog will admit they are wrong. Sit back and watch. Remember. I am not a Dem wonk. Heck, I am a registered Republican. But populist polkicies ALWAYS lead to negative outcomes. Why? Because they are based on lies. Lies, that I will continue to point out, over and over and over, until your thick skulls might actually let one slip through. And this is not in any way a Dem endorsement. But with the two terrible choices offered, I’ll always take corruption over hatred and lies.
Don’t worry about me 3B. I’m, pefectly fine. Women are fucked. Latinos are fucked and blacks are fucked. But I’m in the protected white alpha male class. I could have slipped into a Trump Rally and no one would have even noticed.
LAX,
California will be back. What they are experiencing is the pendulum swinging to far. There needs to be a balance between screwing the rich and helping the poor. Take it to far and you get California. The homeless will leave and stop shooting up when they no longer have the means to stay, which will occur as more and more wealthy taxpayers abandon the state. Eventually, California’s great resources and amazing climate will make it one of the best places to live again. Or you could ignore everything around you and move to Mississippi with Smalls and Gary.
LAX,
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood showed the brighter alternative future for California, if only they had taken flamethrowers to dirty murdering hippies in the sixties and kept on making Westerns.
That is my favorite Tarantino movie so far. No diversity casting, no girlboss Mary Sue character.

They monitor everyone in congress but they specifically focus on unusually large bets on small companies for no reason and they correlate them to what committees they serve on. It’s been good for some quick 30% gains just to piggy back onto.
Lib,
I don’t want the government banning social media companies. And I’m more worried about what the Federal Government did with Twitter/Facebook etc… over the years than the Chinese government. No censorship.
And it’s pretty much the only Tarantino flick I couldn’t sit through. I would put Pulp Fiction right behind it.
For real Cali feel in a film, rewatch LA Story. The shallowness of basing one’s entire existence on image was amazingly well done.
BRT,
You know my position on free speech. People need to make up their own minds, even at the risk of them being manipulated. But censorship is pure evil because it doesn’t even give one the chance to see things for what they are. Which is why trans people don’t scare me nearly as much as duped xenophobes.

Libturd,
You’d rather watch the Hateful 8 gradually hack off each other’s body parts than Once Upon a Time?
What bothered you about it?
I was raised on old westerns and I absolutely love em. Some of the newer ones are great as well. I’m a big fan. LA though, wow. Where to begin. It’s been an insane experience. I have worked all over the area and met lot’s of different people. I love the area but it’s remote. Especially when compared to New Jersey. I think NorCal would resemble Jersey more in terms of it’s density and amenities of a City. LA is sprawling and as we know, highly flammable.
The whole rich / poor thing in LA is gross. The haves and have nots. The middle class barely exists. You’ll see changes, but things are so far gone that I’m afraid an exodus will occur now. Or the demand will be pushed out to the exburbs which will drive our home price up. Either way, things are changing.
BRT,
Your sentence ” People need to make up their own minds, even at the risk of them being manipulated”. But what if they can’t tell because of lack of intelligence or knowledge about the arts of manipulation.
In Military IQ testing, the higher the score the more likely you are to be offered Psych Ops positions. If you were to look at the near present environment clear headed. The country is under attack by at least 1 very good , 2 in good positioned, 3 shabby Psych Ops campaign. All working uncoordinated but helping each others work in their own goals, which are made way easier because the American culture is very well fertilized for those Psych Ops to function.
I’m not telling you what is what. Use your big head, put down all emotions and look around at facts. See if you can spot the Psych Ops.
I am admitedly weird when it comes to movies. I have a hard time just letting go and escaping reality for two hours. I have always been this way too. I’m that guy who looks at his watch to determine from the time remaining, the outcome of the plot. I abhor comic/superhero films, though I loved Superman. All of these CGI films are pretty much one in the same. And if a superhero can fly, jump a mile, ride a shark or summon bats, then why they always have to put a hand down on the ground when ever they jump down from something? It’s the same movie over and over and over and over. For the record, I couldn’t stand FRIENDS either with the pet ducks and monkeys and roomate swapping.
So I tried to watch Once Upon a Time with Gator back when it came out and after about the first 30 minutes couldn’t stay awake any longer. Critical acclaim or not. Sorry. Just boring, simplistic dialogue that was too obvious to be interesting.
Now Fetus & Cletus. That is mind-boggling dialogue.
But too each their own. I think sometimes, I think too much.
“But what if they can’t tell because of lack of intelligence or knowledge about the arts of manipulation.”
Perhaps, they should have paid attention in school! Their loss.
And of course you are correct about Psych Ops. Heck, all marketing is exactly that and Trump is a master at his craft. Shame he’s not a master at actually making smart decisions that improve people’s lots. Heck, I don’t even think he’s that good at enriching himself. But he sure knows how to win over a crowd. The truth is, he’s always been good at that. He’s reminds me an awful lot of John Madden. That dude preached a lot of nonsense. He had a facade of being one of the toughest guys alive, yet he was afraid of flying. Makes you say, hmmm.
Wow. Didn’t even make it four days. Half the country elected this moron. I think we need education reform more than anything else.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-says-he-will-demand-interest-rates-drop-hinting-at-coming-clash-with-powell-175554668.html
Now who was the one who said the FED controlled inflation, not the POTUS? Who controls the FED? Now be honest with yourself.
Think eggs are expensive? Just wait and see what happens when interest rates are lowered. Trump, again, doing his best to help the rich and fuck everyone else. And now you know how he could go bankrupt owning three casinos.
But he hugged the flag. Didn’t you see it? Better start hugging your own wallets. Those on fixed incomes, the vast majority of his supporters, are in for a rude awakening.

And MAGA was focused on drag queens.
Chicago,
Thanks for the correction. I’ll work on it.
It’s been fascinating to see the faux Masculinity paraded around like it’s Murica.
I grew up with these numbskulls. They’re fragile, usually divorced and really angry about how they left their marriages. They overcompensate at nearly every level.
Lifting weights, doing steroids, it’s all part of the act. Pumping themselves up yet slowly killing themselves in the process. Faux leadership and bravado. Meanwhile, Rome burns.
How can Rome burn if it’s all BRICS? Maybe Spain burned?
Just imagine if Biden said Spain was a BRICS nation or if he mistook Taiwan for Thailand. Clearly, it would be senility.
But MAGA can do no wrong. Except for virtually everything, if you’ve been paying attention.
Lib: I stand corrected. We will see where lunacy on Trump s part ends. As for the Fed. I think Powell and his Fed are one of the worst. They have done an incredible amount of damage. As for education reform I agree, but for both the left and the right.
AOC is now considered one of the most influential Democrats going forward and into 2028. She has been ranting and raving all over the place. She needs to calm down and actually really study and understand the various issues she discussed. Less rhetoric more legitimate information. We have enough rhetoric with Trump, and Fox and MSNBC/CNN.
Its pathetic that your Democrats went 4 years claiming all was fine with Biden (it was not), then dump him few months before the election and foist that ding dong Harris on the American people and tell us she is fine (she was not), people actually chose to vote for Trump again. I say both parties are bad you guys in the Democratic party were supposed to be the adults; that clearly was not the case.
In other news, there is some initial chatter out there across the pond that the UK might have to seek help from the IMF sometime over the next 2 years. We are off to Queche VT tomorrow, I will talk more with my buddy who just got back from there and is pretty connected over there.
Lib: Don t forget the Democrats/Left manipulate too. There appears to be this myth out there that Democrat/Left equals educated and informed, while Republican equals uneducated and ignorant.
I have been on quite a few of these Dem/Left sites/blogs, and I can tell you there are many on the left that are just as uneducated and ignorant. By the way being educated does not mean one cannot be ignorant.
the people bitching about the price of eggs and gas somehow have expendable income to buy crypto shit coins from the Trump family?

Hey doofus, you are responding to Lib’s writing not mine. Maybe you wanna toss an insult his way instead? Probably not.
I called for Biden to step down after year 2. Though, I will still argue that those with speech disorders really sound terrible when they are both too young and too old. Believe me. The Dems have more issues to fix than I could shake a stick at. But I do my best to point them out. Populism is simply the worst.
Remember, I called it corruption vs. crazy. It was incredibly accurate.
Have fun up in Vermont. I love it up there, but I hope it warms up a bit.

Very: You prove my point on leftist ignorance. The states you mention were all Democratic Party strongholds for years.
Lib: I honestly don’t ever recall you saying here that you thought Biden should have stepped down after 2 years in office. I may be wrong of course. I definitely remember you saying you did not see any mental decline in Biden , which frankly I was shocked at. As for his speech disorder, it was far more than that, but whatever. He should not have run for a second term like he originally said was his intention. He should have stuck with that. In all fairness to him perhaps he ran again because he knew the alternative would be Harris and she was simply not qualified on so many levels. That’s what happens when you choose someone who checks sex/ racial boxes, but is still not qualified. I am sure like myself, you have encountered people in positions over the years and said how did this person ever rise to that position.
Thanks on Vermont. It will be cold, but nice big fire places and a cozy bar. I have not been up there in a while and we are looking forward to it. I remember my first time there years ago, driving in the back country, and I was amazed at the rural poverty, it could have been rural Appalachia or Mississippi.
Some places up in Sussex look the same sadly. I was a Bernie guy if you recall. Never had a lot of love for Biden who frequently put his foot in his mouth. But I knew he could be a good statesman which he was. Though Trump scares me more than a dimentia patient. Trump’s big bully mouth is simply risky. We were in agreement over Harris. None the less, last time I said, let’s see what happens with Trump and he was a nightmare on so many levels. But man can he convince a crowd of his bullshit.
You know, the parties are always at odds with each other and are never happy with their opponents. But I never witnessed the outpouring of hatred that Trump received, and quite frankly, I thought deserved. If he didn’t lie about his so-called successes so well, he probably would have been removed. You will all see soon enough how silly you were to give such a crass bully the pulpit a second time. I hope both history teaches us something here as well as help clean up the Dem party. Both parties belong in prison. I’m sure the corruption among all of these rookie, ill-equipped MAGA appointies and representatives will surface soon enough. I would think women who get felt up in movie theatres are apt not to reject multi-million dollar bribes nor are idiot fathers who think vaccines are bullshit and attach shark heads to their family roadsters. I could be wrong. But I doubt it.
And for once, no one likes AOC except the right wing press and the far left wonks. The vast majority of Democrats wish she would close her obnoxious mouth. As a matter of fact, the whole SQUAD got destroyed over their ineffectiveness to help Hamas. And rightfully so.
Lib, you nailed it again my man. Reading the tea leaves is something you do very well.
I hate the anti-Israel narrative on the left and how it’s infected the colleges. Talk about gullible. We live in a very scary time for narratives and brainwashing. We are polarized as a Nation and many folks simply sat out the shit show. But by sitting out they actually “voted” .
What we are going to see will be interesting to say the least. The right is wasting no time implementing their agenda and you are correct that Trump is a useful idiot.
A lot of people that I know are just tuning out. Which is of course going to further enable to right to coalesce around their agenda.
I have no love for the “far left” and probably would not pass any purity test they put forward. Then again, I really don’t like that White Nationalists seem to be emerging as a force here at home. That hasn’t ended well for folks like me in the past.
LAX: LGBTQ etc for Palestine, you can’t get more ignorant and stupid on that. A few Jewish friends of mine were shocked to see the level of anti semitism on the left. And make no mistake it’s anti semitism.
Agreed. But that’s the world we live in. I noticed TikTok was far more tolerant of militant Hamas propaganda than Instagram. One reason I stay away from TikTok. But it’s definitely influencing the kids.

3b, there is a hot new Palestinian restaurant in Princeton. I swear it’s only there to cash in on the Ivy League ignorance on the issues. The walls inside were decorated like you were in the west bank. I went just because I love middle eastern cuisines in general and have never actually had Palestinian. The place was populated with twenty something pretentious hipsters. The food was below average and disappointing. In fact, they’ve got real imported olive oil all over the walls, but their dishes are loaded with canola oil instead, which my stomach instantly senses upon the first drop at this point. I actually ended up throwing it up on purpose to save myself the agony of trying to digest it over a few hours. Never again…Mahmoun’s falafel is about 3 doors away and far superior.

ICE raided a workplace a Fish Market in Newark not a home. It’s a retail location with a sign that even says “Open to the Public.” They don’t need warrants to enter the public spaces. The Fourth Amendment does not carry the same protections in public
areas as in private areas. Fourth Amendment protections are based on
whether there is a reasonable expectation of privacy in the areas to be searched and
individuals should not expect to have the same level of protections in public spaces.
So if you see ICE coming at your workplace your only options are to run or submit to the immigration inspection.

Even cryptocrat Marc understood the impact of DeepSeek R1 open source model release. The moat is nowhere near what was claimed. The hardware advantage is diminishing. AI is just data not models that can be easily invented and challenged. Even once powerful Intel chips are junk with Power/Performance/Area constraints put in place.
The AI monetization model from Silicon Valley depends on efficiency and productivity. That may be a fine goal, but the amount of power/energy/human capital is also great. The financial cool-aid stories with overblown valuations will come crushing down with the advent of open source models by low-cost providers (think BYD without tariffs). The switching cost is near zero. This is not your uncle’s mainframe environment. In one week, most of the AI development environments, chatbot engines switched away from OpenAI/Claude models.
Google will remain insensitive to this AI craziness. NVDA will move into robotics to be more persistent. These two will remain at the top, while others will slowly fizzle out. We will see a big correction in second quarter 2025.
If you see the IRS coming for your workplace, grab all your valuables. They raidedy brothers auto workplace. They stole thousands of dollars of tools from the workers there.
re: “while others will slowly fizzle out?” Nah no sign of fizzle, there is a huge buildout in hardware and electrical power generation to keep it going. $200 Billion plus this year alone, and it’s not for chatbots… 100 Gigawatts of power needed and it’s not for manufacturing or powering new homes. It’s for AI to replace you the knowledge worker and your daily tasks…
Marc Andreessen mentioned in the tweet above is investing in the pivot to the age of Agentic AI. Every company is now trying to replace human workers with AI Agents. B to B and B to C….first.
11x.com ( Sales and Go-to-Market Teams can be replaced with AI). Generate Leads, Schedule appointments, and even close the deal.
Any idea how many jobs and revenue is at stake here? Just ask Salesforce they are worried their licenses are expensive as fuck, $150 per user per month. They are going to have to replace that per seat per user license model with an “AI salesperson” that has a monthly subscription cost that is comparable.
11x.com is an investment for Marc Andreessen

The U.S. Catholic Church has decided to speak out against President Trump’s immigration policies, in a historic move.
A church representative said Trump’s policies “go against some of the basic tenants of our faith — the fundamental right of every human person that need to be respected, no matter their origin, no matter their situation.”
Bishop Mark Seitz is the chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ committee on migration.
He also says Pope Francis “certainly is paying attention” to the administration’s actions.
“Seems ICE is doing raids in Arlington Texas right now.”
Why use ICE? Our president can tell the bad ones by just looking at them.
He’s also going to make the water come down in California and is going to make OPEC lower oil prices. After that, he’s going to improve the orange crop in Florida.
Only one of these isn’t true. Can you figure out which one?
What a complete moron.
How stupid is Trump to pick a fight with the church? Especially after winning the election primarily by appeasing Christians with his lying SCOTUS appointees who overturned RVW?
And you wonder why every business venture and relationship he has ends up either physically or morally bankrupt?

Just wait until Trump rolls the tanks down Main Street. Maybe we can have our own Tiananmen Square. Of course, you might not be able to look it up in TikToc, but that’s okay. Censorship is perfectly fine, if your MAGA.
And to be clear here on our undocumented workers. They should be documented and paying taxes. No more cash under the table nonsense. These employers should be punished and fined for taking advantage of them and undermining the tax base.
Social security is probably the most glaring underpaid by the EMPLOYERS.
Employees Pay 6.2% of their earnings up to a $176,100.
And so does the employer. They pay matching 6.2%.
Thousands of employers hire millions of these undocumented workers and pay them cash. Every employer that hire cash workers is putting the burden of supporting the system for federal, state and local taxes on everyone else that is a legal worker.
Don’t give me some claptrap about the undocumented workers paying these income and social security taxes with stolen identities.

Or I’m a big loser. My average position is around $8. It would have been $4 but I wussed out a bit. It’s a 6 figure position, but I won’t tell you the first digit. SOFI has a history of crashing after earnings anyhow. That’s how I got my position so low. When fundamentals of the stock fall below the EPS growth, buy, buy, buy. Take some off the table when they get ahead of themselves. It’s really that simple. Ignore the noise.
You know, I wrote a major analyst who downgraded the stock when it was back at $8 and explained to him why I felt he was wrong. He wrote me back with an explanation that I disagreed with mainly saying that their debt was too risky. What??? I really should write him back to tell him I told you so as it’s more than doubled since then in under a year. But that would just be rude. At this point, the EPS just needs to keep growing for me to keep holding. Any chink in the armor and she’ll drop hard. For what it’s worth, they lowered their interest on their savings accounts to 3.80 this morning. My Primis account is still at like 4.55. Not a big fan of their recent cheapness. Then again, Chase had their most profitable quarter ever (perhaps things in America aren’t so bad) while paying .01 percent interest in their savings accounts. Man people are stupid when it comes to accumulating wealth.

Juice,
Just wait until Trump rolls the tanks down Main Street. Maybe we can have our own Tiananmen Square.
You sound crazy. Batshit even.
However, as the Chinese say, ” May you live in interesting times.”
It wouldn’t surprise me either.
Here we go. Republican Congressman Andy Ogles has drafted a constitutional amendment to allow Donald Trump to be president for a third term.
re: ” roll the tanks down Main Street”
What tanks? The US Army doesn’t store tanks in New Jersey. The ones that are operational were shipped to Europe and are forward deployed to NATO’s Eastern Flank. We have not built any new Abrams tanks since the early 1990s.
Most other tanks and equipment are all stored here and a few other sites. I would say most of the stored ones are far from operational.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/40%C2%B011'42.0%22N+120%C2%B008'24.0%22W/@40.1837442,-120.1230613,19489m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d40.195!4d-120.14?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDEyMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D
Just as an FYI also the Marines got rid of all of their Abrams tanks four years ago, transferred them to the Army and many went to Ukraine as well.
What a contrast from the previous administration in what we’re seeing in the Trump administration. We’ve never seen any president in our lifetime act so rapidly with such urgency. Every day he takes multiple questions and today in North Carolina and later in California will be no exception. FEMA and the government agencies did very little in their response buried under their own bloat. And I knew Samaritan’s Purse did some really good work which is why I gave them a nice chunk. I really wanted to go down there and I’m sure they’ll need volunteers for months and months to come so, maybe I should revisit the possibility of a trip.
Anyway, the amount of time and work this president puts in day after day is just mind-boggling. He works constantly! O’Biden was so lazy, so deep in boiled political crap that he and democrats in general wallow in their own regulatory nonsense. It’s as if it’s a convenient excuse to continue abuse on every level in the guise of doing their jobs. Democrats are as lazy as a pigs in slop. What a pleasure to see a president act with leadership and conviction. This is the very beginning of a new American renaissance and I’m glad to finally see it.
I told you all MAGA was batshit crazy.
Shouldn’t we wait to see if Trump even succeeds before we amend the constitution to allow der Fuhrer a third term?
Nah.
MAGA can do no wrong.
And this is what happens when you elect completely unqualified morons into the congress. Ogles has served since 2023 and was the mayor of podunk prior. I mean, what does he have to lose? His optimal stand location at the local flea market?
Gary,
Let me know when he actually does something meaningful and not symbolic, like trying to deport a veteran.
MAGA really is batshit crazy. You were warned.
Here’s your MAGA. You really can’t make this stuff up. I just looked up Ogles because it takes real balls to amend the tenets of the greatest country on earth. Read it an laugh,
Ogles was born on June 18, 1971. He describes himself as “a Maury County native with deep family roots in Tennessee dating back to the founding of the state.”[4] Ogles graduated from Franklin High School and later attended Western Kentucky University and Columbia State Community College from 1990 to 1993, studying allied language arts and English.[5]
Ogles later studied at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), where he failed every course taken in the fall of 1995 and the fall of 1998; he returned to the university in 2007 and graduated with a 2.4 grade point average, with a Bachelor of Science in liberal studies.[5][6] The Washington Post described liberal studies as “a general education degree typically for those who cannot settle on a major”; NewsChannel 5 gave a similar description.
This is MAGA.
re: “Here we go”
More like here we stay…….
38 of 50 states for ratification.
Trump talking one on one now with the deplorable garbage people… the so-called backwards, backwater white trash… giving them the microphone to allow each to tell their story. He’s side-stepping FEMA and red tape to sign direct aid to Western NC and in California. He’s asking them personal questions… where you staying? Do you still have the land, etc.
Jesus. Read the rest of his Wiki entry.
I wouldn’t hire this failure and habitual liar to be my garbage man, let alone representative.
Gary,
Greatest showman ever. Buy a coin when the commercial comes up. Meanwhile, he can use his x-ray vision to identify the bad ones.
How do you just sit back and accept his asesnine claims. If any Dem said it, you would be screaming for impeachment. Trump says it and crickets.
And I might add, I don’t speak hyperbole or inuendo or do I even exagerate. Trump is just a complete moron.
I just got my permit renewal for our 2012 CX-9. There was note in there that if you drive an electric car, you owe $250 a year going forward and it ratches up $10 a year. Nice work Drop-Pants Murphy. ;P. If you weren’t paying attention, he raided the state surplus this year too.
I guess Melania is doing it all for show, too. Yes? Hugging these people and talking to them? These people who have less than nothing? What’s her haul in all of this?
I know why the MAGA morons here are silent. They must be in complete shock. I know I am.
Speaking with Fox News’s Sean Hannity Wednesday night in his first Oval Office interview since being inaugurated, Trump insisted that you could tell how much “trouble” immigrants are going to be for the country based on the “look” of them.
Holy fucking cuckoo. Read it again out loud. This, ladies and gentlemen is your president. And remember, you can only be a girl or a boy. Even if you have both tits and a cock.
Lib – “I wouldn’t hire this failure and habitual liar to be my garbage man, let alone representative.”
I think you are setting the bar too high…..Let me ask does he have gold bars and envelopes of cash in his closet?
Speaking of Bobby, although Biden pardoned lots of folks more than any other modern president, he did not extend his grace to his old friend former Senator Menendez.
Menendez lost his appeal for a new trial and is facing sentencing Wednesday. Prosecutors are asking for 15 years.
Menendez is now appealing to Trump to keep him from being passed around like any other prison bitch.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/biden-sen-bob-menendez-seeks-pardon-trump-rcna188214
Melinia needs to raise the value of her coin. Pronto.
Come on Gary. She’s part of the show.
I truly worry for our country. Yeah, the Dems were corrupt and overstepped their bounds. But you can’t let high school drop-outs run the country. Next there will be cigarette machines in all public school cafeterias. At this point, it wouldn’t suprise me if it was Trump’s next executive order.
And while Trump and Melania were shaping hands. He was writing executive orders to release the Proud Boys, abortion clinic blockers, etc. Oh and renaming Denali Mt. McKinley because McKinley liked tariffs. What a buffoon.,
I am headed out shortly. But come on. This is going to end extremely badly. Stop ignoring reality.

You mean like forging a ceasefire between Hamas(Iran) and Israel, and freeing 3 hostages? Or perhaps you mean like reopening safe passage through the Red Sea/Suez Canal for all ships? Or maybe you mean like deporting hundreds of illegal alien criminals in just 2 days — guys like the one that killed Laken Riley? Lib has TDS!
Phoenix,
We need you to start an intervention on Libturd, he’s going to stroke out. Give him some tips on how you handle the anger issue with your Melania.
Don’t show him the People magazine article on how Baron aka Junior Turd wants to start his grifting business. JuniorTurd does not know what line of business yet, but he’s considering Central Park Pigeon Poo backed Crypto Coins as he’s confident there is a very large liquid market for it – his father said so.
Your power of ignorance is beyond reason.
Trump freed the hostages? Really? More fiction from lying MAGA.
re: ” This is going to end extremely badly.”
I am Hedging…
https://www.google.com/search?q=SPXU
Lib — According to one person with direct knowledge of the talks, it was President Donald Trump’s insistence that Israel and Hamas agree to the truce by the time he took office on Jan. 20, and that “all hell would break loose if the hostages were not released,” that was the decisive factor.
Too soon. Juice.
Trump’s policies will again Juice the market, until it again collapses. Anyone can lower prices to generate sales. But profit is what ultimately matters. Trump is good with the sales part. Not so much the profit part. Just look how his tax changes drastically reduced revenues after the gimmicks wore off. And the moron is doubling down on it again. Whatever. MAGA can do no wrong.
Honestly, it was a lot things including the Trump threat. I think the weakining of Iran, Hezbollah in Syria and Lebanon and a destroyed Hamas itself played the largest role. I won’t deny Trump contributed, but he can not take full credit. Not by a longshot.
Here…
The person familiar with the matter is someone who closely observed the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage negotiations for the past 15 months, including an earlier agreement reached in November 2023. The person said that, ultimately, both U.S. envoys − Witkoff and McGurk − were instrumental in securing the deal. It was a joint effort between the outgoing and incoming U.S. administrations, the person said.
From the honorable USA Today.
I really gotta go. And I’ll admit when Trump does good things as some of his executive orders have. Just not right now.
And if you did not know it already History will show right or wrong it was the Trump factor. His henchman Steve Witkoff was able to get Qatar and Egypt the truce’s other mediators to persuade Hamas to accept terms they would not previously. How does a real estate billionaire like Witkoff get that done?
There will be a book one day.
I am hearing Iran will be threated with annihilation next.
It would behoove OrangeTurd to pardon GoldieMenendez and hire him as DOGE advisor in the Grifting Venture Capital Opportunities department.
OrangeTurd would have a braintrust and experience fellow in the arts of grifting with the extra bonus of having someone that knows how to never to forget and serve the revenge dish cold, plus knowing where the bodies and weak points are in the governmental infrastructures.

Makes sense when NJ has the highest amount of police per capita. Although I’m not sure what states have the most police officers bribed with donuts. Couldn’t find a statistic on that.
What States Have the Most Police Officers?
State Officers per 1,000 residents Total officers employed
New Jersey 3.68 34,110
Oklahoma 3.64 14,530
Kansas 3.62 10,620
Alaska 3.62 2,650
I think Americans like to see “action” on the part of their government and they’re tired of the amorphous policies of identity and gender. Nearly every Californian I speak to who has been in the state more than a few decades will lament that it is simply not the place that it used to be. Meaning in their experience and opinion, it’s gone downhill.
You elect politicians to solve problems not create them. You want people who will look out for the Country first and not put the interests of people across the world before those in the backyard.
NJ is the Government State.
Adds to the argument of buying vs leasing the cow. Just imagine having stock in one of those two cows from the post I linked at the Four Season’s hotel. Imagine being tethered to one of those creatures legally.
A woman who was blamed by French courts for her divorce because she no longer had sex with her husband won an appeal in Europe’s top human rights court, the court said on Thursday, reigniting a debate in France over women’s rights.
I enjoy the long drives through the country but I’m always amazed that I can drive from NY to Maine and pass maybe 1 cop. I drove from Tucson to Las Vegas, 1 cop. I drove home from work yesterday, 9 cops.
It was actually 14. You missed a few.

Goodbye Ukraine.
Let’s break down what Smallman said @ 1:28:
1) You mean like forging a ceasefire between Hamas(Iran) and Israel, and freeing 3 hostages?
So, what exactly did Trump do that Natenyahu suddenly changes his mind? Exactly what did Natanyahu gain? Why the sudden change in plan?
If you are smart you will ask WHY this is happening now.
2) Or perhaps you mean like reopening safe passage through the Red Sea/Suez Canal for all ships?
It was never blocked. The fees are the same as before. You got taken all the chest beating. NOTHING CHANGED.. just talk.
3) Or maybe you mean like deporting hundreds of illegal alien criminals in just 2 days — guys like the one that killed Laken Riley?
It’s all talk to get suckers like you to be distracted from the real problems. The real issue for example – is the $500Billion that he plans to give Larry Ellison.. which will come from your pocket. The undocumented did nothing to you – except lower your grocery bill.
Hundreds of “illegal immigrant criminals” arrested, hundreds more flown out of U.S. by military, White House says
Updated on: January 24, 2025 / 5:39 PM EST / CBS/AFP
Hundreds of “illegal immigrant criminals” in the United States were arrested Thursday and hundreds of others were flown out of the country on military aircraft as President Trump’s promised mass deportation operation got underway, the White House said.
In a post on X Thursday night, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “The Trump Administration arrested 538 illegal immigrant criminals including a suspected terrorist, four members of the Tren de Aragua gang, and several illegals convicted of sex crimes against minors.” Tren de Aragua is a violent gang that started in Venezuela and has now started to spread into the U.S. It became something of a flashpoint during the presidential campaign.
Those 538 arrests included 373 people with criminal records and 165 people without criminal records aside from immigration violations, according to documentation provided by a senior administration official. Another 1,041 people were removed or repatriated, according to those records.
Arrests included a 23-year-old Ecuadorian citizen convicted of rape. He was arrested in Buffalo. Another arrest in Buffalo was that of a man from the Dominican Republic who was previously convicted of continuous sexual conduct against a child. In San Francisco, ICE arrested a man convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child aged 14 or younger, and sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Meanwhile, a defense official said there had been two flights overnight. Both went to Guatemala, according to two sources. A Guatemalan migration official said three flights have arrived: A flight from El Paso, with 80 people, arrived early Friday morning. Another flight from Tucson, which also carried 80 people, arrived at around 7 a.m., and a third flight from El Paso with around 105 people arrived Friday afternoon.
Remind me again how many were released that were involved in the attempted illegal overthrow of the government on Jan 6?
But, they’re pAtRiOts
Remind me again how many were released that were involved in the attempted illegal overthrow of the government on Jan 6?

Trump’s deportation flights are draining military resources—costing up to $852,000 each, far more than DHS alternatives. With no reimbursement, the Pentagon is forced to divert funds from other critical priorities. This waste will have real consequences.

Hey,
Maybe while Trump is on a kick of getting rid of sex offenders, he can send all of the Catholic preists on a flight as well. Take some of those freaky teachers also, and don’t skip the female ones while you are at it.
Dick Tater gonna Dick Tate. Guess he told Mette his is gonna grab her by the pussy and steal Greenland. Hehe:
Donald Trump unleashed a torrent of aggression in a ‘horrendous’ fiery 45-minute phone call with Denmark’s Prime Minister as the pair discussed the fate of Greenland, sources have claimed.
The confrontation has been described by senior European officials as ‘explosive’ and ‘confrontational’ centered on Trump’s insistence that Greenland – a vast, autonomous Arctic island under Danish sovereignty – was critical for U.S. national security.
The call, which took place on January 15, five days before he became president spiraled into an unprecedented diplomatic clash.
Trump, 78, reportedly threatened to impose tariffs on Denmark, a NATO ally, as a way of pressuring Mette Frederiksen, 47, to acquiesce to his territorial ambitions.
According to sources as revealed to the Financial Times, the conversation raised concerns that Trump is actually serious about possible military action.
‘It was horrendous. He was very firm. It was a cold shower. Before, it was hard to take it seriously. But I do think it is serious, and potentially very dangerous,’ the source said.
