@Mikey4VA @PolitiBunny Hey VA! This is who is running for your State Senate. Super credible and in control. Not too far a jump from your AG. Sorry Sam. What an Asshole Holy Crap!

🚨 This insane leftist just posted a video openly saying Iran has the exact coordinates to bomb the White House — it demanding they do it. And in another clip, she’s straight-up calling for the EXECUTION of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. You’ll find this video and her mug shot from a DUI arrest in the comments. This isn’t “activism.” This is domestic enemies cheering for attacks on U.S. soil while our military is defending America. @FBI. @SecretService. @DHS. Do your job. Investigate.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. **75%** of all m*rders in Fairfax, Virginia this year have been committed by illegal aliens Virginians elected Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger. They were warned. Electing Democrats = death and DESTRUCTION. "Out of the 4 m*rders in Fairfax County, Virginia so far this year have been allegedly at the hands of illegal immigrants, including a stabbing at a bus stop, a machete hacking of a man in his own home and a beating murder of a three-month-old infant." — @BillMelugin_ Elections have consequences. Virginia doesn't work with ICE.

If Trump announces a peace deal with Iran, the same people who tell you he’s going to nuke Iran are going to immediately switch their argument to the peace deal isn’t good enough.

@Bombshell_Squad @mazemoore Of course.

Gavin Newsom's wife recalls telling prisoners at San Quentin about running over and killing her sister with a golf cart. She said that she wasn't punished because it was an accident but that the prisoners are doing life even though theirs was "probably an accident too."

@SLosito11761 @BrivaelFr Go read “A Monetary History of the U.S.” Get back to us when you’re finished.

@BrivaelFr Friedman n'était qu'un connard de théoricien. Ne s'occupe jamais des vrais gens. Ne s'est jamais battu pour la dignité des faibles.

Milton Friedman (prix nobel d'économie) a dit un truc il y a 50 ans qui est encore plus vrai aujourd'hui. Et quasiment personne ne le comprend. 🧵 On lui pose la question : "Sans régulation sur les médicaments, des gens pourraient mourir en prenant des produits dangereux. Vous ne trouvez pas ça grave ?" Sa réponse est un des retournements logiques les plus brillants de l'histoire de l'économie. Oui, dit Friedman. Un médicament non régulé peut tuer des gens. C'est visible. C'est dans les journaux. C'est un scandale. Tout le monde le voit. Mais ce que personne ne voit, c'est les gens qui meurent parce qu'un médicament qui aurait pu les sauver a été bloqué pendant 10 ans par le processus de régulation. Ce mort là, personne ne le compte. Personne ne fait sa une. Personne ne connaît son nom. Parce qu'il est mort de l'absence de quelque chose qui n'a jamais existé. C'est l'asymétrie fondamentale de la régulation. Le régulateur a deux types d'erreurs possibles. Erreur 1 : approuver un médicament dangereux. Résultat : scandale public, procès, le régulateur perd son poste. Erreur 2 : bloquer un médicament qui aurait sauvé des vies. Résultat : rien. Personne ne sait. Personne ne proteste. Les morts silencieux n'ont pas de porte-parole. Du coup, le régulateur rationnel optimise pour éviter l'erreur 1. Toujours. Il rajoute des études. Des phases. Des comités. Des délais. Chaque couche de "sécurité" supplémentaire le protège, lui, au détriment des patients qui attendent. Friedman estimait que la FDA avait probablement tué plus de gens en retardant des bons médicaments qu'elle n'en avait sauvé en bloquant des mauvais. C'est impossible à prouver précisément. Mais la logique est imparable. Un exemple concret. Le bêta-bloquant Propranolol était disponible en Europe des années avant d'être approuvé aux États-Unis. Pendant ces années, des Américains mouraient de crises cardiaques qui auraient pu être évitées. Combien ? On ne le saura jamais. Parce qu'on ne compte pas les morts de l'inaction. C'est le même principe partout. Pas que dans la médecine. En France, les taxis autonomes sont bloqués par la régulation. Chaque année de retard, ce sont des accidents de la route qui auraient pu être évités. Mais personne ne compte ces morts là. On compte uniquement le premier accident d'un taxi autonome, qui fera la une de tous les journaux. L'IA dans la médecine est ralentie par des processus d'approbation qui prennent des années. Des diagnostics qui pourraient être faits en secondes par un algorithme attendent des validations pendant que des patients attendent des mois pour un rendez-vous. Le nucléaire a été bloqué pendant des décennies par la peur. Combien de gens sont morts de la pollution des centrales à charbon qui ont tourné à la place ? Personne ne les compte. Le pattern est toujours le même. On voit le risque de l'action. On ne voit jamais le risque de l'inaction. Et comme le risque de l'inaction est invisible, le régulateur choisit toujours l'inaction. Parce que l'inaction ne produit pas de scandale. Friedman résumait ça en une phrase : "Les gens qui ont été sauvés par la FDA sont visibles. Les gens qui sont morts à cause des retards de la FDA sont invisibles. Et dans une démocratie, le visible gagne toujours contre l'invisible." La prochaine fois que quelqu'un vous dit "il faut plus de régulation pour protéger les gens", posez une seule question : combien de gens meurent en attendant que la régulation les autorise à vivre ? La réponse est toujours plus grande que ce qu'on imagine. Mais personne ne la calcule. Parce que les morts de l'inaction n'ont pas de visage.

@WorkElizab 20 for the second time. (My late wife passed shortly after 20 years.)

Is it really true? 🤔🤔 And where are you at?

@CraigBeam1 @ronsterd89 I remember those machines. Consumed many hours of my undergrad life.

@ronsterd89 programming key punch cards

My grandson found this in a textbook we bought at Halfprice Books. He asked me if this is “what library cards looked like”, but I actually don’t know what it might be from. Any clue? There is nothing on the back.

@ronsterd89 The tool I used to learn FORTRAN.

Fun fact: zgodnie z Kodeksem Prawa Kanonicznego - przynajmniej wersji obowiązującej w 1969 roku - nowo odkryty ląd podlega pod diecezję, z której wyruszyła wyprawa, która go odkryła. Misja Apollo 11 wyruszyła na księżyc z przylądka Canaveral, który znajduje się na terytorium diecezji Orlando. Tym samym biskup John Noonan rządzi największą terytorialnie diecezją w kościele katolickim, a jednym z jego oficjalnych tytułów jest "biskup księżyca"

@IggyBeeBop @BBMagaMom Are these trick questions?

@BBMagaMom @TonyLimaPOL What value is she to society? Why feed, clothe, house, counsel someone who is this far gone?

This demon literally put her little sons in the oven to bake them alive!!!!! There’s not a place LOW enough in hell for her….

If we aren't vigilant, 100 million illegal aliens will get amnesty

@TennantM5 @cantpretendtoo Sure am happy CA has Prop 13.

@cantpretendtoo Same.

Already in the works here. Not satisfied with all the new construction but literally kicking people out of 30-yr-owned homes because they can no longer pay their property taxes. Property taxes are literally my biggest expense.

Something is really bothering me about the Ben Roberts-Smith case. Nobody likes being a hypocrite. Unlike most, I actually go for a walk when I suspect myself of being one. On one hand, this prosecution stinks of liberal bias. Out of thousands of potential war crimes cases the social justice warrior police chief could have pursued, she picked THE most decorated soldier on the entire continent. That isn’t justice. That’s a public humiliation ritual. On the other hand, I do believe actual war criminals should stand trial regardless of rank or honors. And I know what’s coming: “John, Roberts-Smith already lost the 2023 defamation case. Justice Besanko found he committed the murders.” Yes. On the balance of probabilities. 51 percent. That’s the civil standard. Criminal conviction requires 99 percent. The same fragile evidence that barely cleared a coin flip is now supposed to send a man to prison for life. Here’s why my post is not hypocrisy. When the school got hit in Iran weeks ago, I said mistakes aren’t war crimes, but if it was intentional or grossly negligent, someone should be court-martialed. That strike is recent. Physical. Investigable. The Roberts-Smith allegations are 20 years old. And here’s what the Brereton Inquiry, for all its 510 witnesses & four years of work, could never get: No crime scene access. The Taliban didn’t let investigators into Uruzgan. No Afghan witnesses interviewed. No secured scene. No blood-spatter analysis. No DNA No autopsies. No recovered bodies. No weapons tied to victims. The investigators themselves admitted they “lacked access to Afghan crime scenes and were missing the physical evidence that would normally anchor a murder prosecution.” So what’s left? Memory. Twenty-year-old memory from men in the fog of war. The science is unambiguous. Countless research studies confirms memory is reconstructive: later suggestion, media exposure, and repeated questioning distort it. This is the textbook misinformation effect. Confidence and accuracy decouple within months, let alone decades. Studies on soldiers who suffer PTSD show the gaps get even larger. I admittedly don’t know 🇦🇺 law but US courts admit decades-old testimony but warn juries it is inherently fragile, not scientific proof. Australia is treating it as load-bearing concrete. The media says “20 former soldiers testified against him.” Fine. Was all their testimony actually against him? How clear was it? Did 20 people watch him murder a civilian in broad daylight? And even if they did, you still have to prove the dead man wasn’t Taliban. In Uruzgan. In 2009. Without a body. Some will say I’m being pedantic. Yes. I. Am. Because Ben Roberts-Smith was charged with murder, and under war-crimes law the same act can be framed as murder, willful killing, or killing a person hors de combat depending on the framing. How it gets framed sets precedent for every future war. And here’s the question nobody in Canberra wants asked: Why is the trigger-puller in the dock while the officers who wrote the rules of engagement, approved the missions, and signed the after-action reports keep their pensions? The Victoria Cross winner hangs. The chain of command walks. Past “War crime” cases with more hard evidence remain “unsolved” That isn’t accountability. That’s a scapegoat ritual. You do not get a Victoria Cross just for killing. You get it for extraordinary gallantry, valour, self-sacrifice & devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy. And here is what Australia just told every soldier watching: the reward for a VC is fame which will make you a target for future show trials built on 20-year-old memories, prosecuted by a police chief with no combat but more ribbons on her uniform than you. If murder can be proven without hard evidence decades later. That isn’t justice even if he is guilty. Proof of guilt matters. That’s a Marxist humiliation ceremony leading to national strategic disarmament by lawfare.

@iowahawkblog Good catch.

Is it just me or is that Thurston Howell III
