Over at Heritage they're concerned they may have to eat a meal with some jews in order to show contrition and they're attempting to draw a line in the sand
the rest of the article is interesting too. What a bunch of extreme deplorables.
Make that motherfucker eat a pound of gefilte fish. On camera.

So, RD, I gather that you are quite the language savant.
Why French (assuming here you were taking courses in French at the time)?
Is it more of a "key" to "Romance languages"?
Love the armadillo character, too.

Sky news saying this is like Fox saying this, or Newsmax. Normally not credible, pretty credible on this.Oh, damn, wrong about this. Thought it was Brit version of Sky AU, which it is/was, but has escaped the clutches of Murdoch and is now legit.

Someone pointed out that Fox ran a bit about Christians in Nigeria being persecuted just hours before his Truth rant.

Sabotage?
I'd guess catastrophic failure in the compressor section that blew or sawed off the front of the engine.

I might tend to call that more than a "piece of cowling." That seems to include a sizable chunk of the compressor intake.

In my prior life I co-developed, designed and manufactured large energy storage M/G/FW devices. The housings were cast iron, many inches thick. It took a lot of trial and error to dial in the tolerancing, draft angles, chimney locations etc. Those cast iron shops have so much experience, we never could have come up with those processes on our own. Here's a photo of one device with half the housing in place:
Tooling generally is almost a black art. Sand casting is necromancy.

Yeah, that happened last night. It's not a lot, but its a start.
I think he's referring to Texas elections and the local electorate pulled another stupid yesterday.

Pretty sure this is all about going full anti-semite and anti-brown and openly endorsing Nick Fuentes.
Half or more of them want to really badly.

the reactions to erika kirk wearing skin tight leather pants while jd vance grabs her hips as she runs her fingers through his har IN PUBLIC have been universal. it’s not like the two of them stood next to each other and then everyone just said, “oh they’re fucking”. they’re out in public together touching each other in ways that would make chrlie kirk furiously masturbate while crying in that chair in the corner
spin in his grave. she’s the one who’s sick, using her husband’s death to profit while basically groping the VP in front of the entire world. fuck her, fuck him, and fuck all of them. they’ve brought this on themselves.Fify.

At 17. Justice Barrett ripping him. He is not doing himself any favors, as Barrett wants him to admit some facts that are self evident, but against his position, and rather than admit those facts and discuss why they aren’t important to the correct interpretation in the case, he ducks and evades and has the same question asked multiple times. As a general proposition, you lose credibility when you refuse to acknowledge case cites or facts not positive to your position. His refusal to answer the justice in a non-weasel way is not a good look. Even if you have a weak case and will likely get your butt whipped, you have to be honest with the court.
SG D. John Sauer?
As far as I can tell, he's pretty much a dickhead advocate.
Paul Clement is a prickly prick, but he's not a dickhead advocate.

I'm always shocked at the voting for TX constitutional amendments. It seems like there are a lot of people who will just vote for all of them. Such as....
How in the blue fuck did this pass?
Also...
If the court finds that the accused is a danger to others or is a flight risk, don't they already deny bail regardless of the offense?
Yes.
One of the main problems with bail was that it had become cookie cutter. This offense = $x bail. Recent bail reform focused mostly on eliminating that and forcing an actual analysis of defendant risk and commensurate bail. It does kind of default to "personal recognizance."
Most of the controversial bail decisions are probably a result of judicial atrophy. They don't know how or care to perform the danger/flight risk analysis and set commensurate bail.
So bail reform is kind of at fault in the "but/for" sense, but doesn't require low/no bail when the defendant is a risk.

Oral argument is ongoing and the prognasticators have done their thing. Looks like trump tariffs are going down.
I'm super skeptical of reading tea leaves based on oral argument.
But the fact that the justices would say "major question" or "non-delegation" in public and in connection with an anti-Trump appeal gives me some hope.

Cheney only believed in power. Masterminds of the invasion of Iraq after 9/11 dont believe in anything but power.
Well, I do think Cheney was less cynically self-interested than Trump and many/most of his cronies. That his policies empowered and enriched him and those of his "class" was a nice side-effect of policies he thought best for the country.
Which is subtly, or not so much, different from Trump's "what's good for me must be good for everyone else, but mostly it's good for me."

So, this may not be the exact place for it, but I continue to be fascinated by "strong executive" political theories. I don't endorse them, particularly as currently implemented, but have to admit that they make some sense in a realpolitik sort of way.
As noted in the piece above, Clinton and Obama were beneficiaries of and not exactly opposed to the strong executive theories advanced and implemented by predecessor administrations and people like Cheney. This partly or maybe largely in response to a gridlocked and ineffective Congress.
But let's examine some things that make a strong executive sort of make sense, or, in the same breath, why Congress has become useless.
- Proliferation of agencies (Congress lacks the expertise and agility to address many situations and policies, so they delegate to agencies)
- Agencies are inherently a) undemocratic and b) easily captured by moneyed interests (point a) may actually be necessary)
- Do the agencies have to be executive controlled?
- Money in politics means Congress critters are less responsive to their constituents, to the people
- Related to or subsumed by the above, Congress critters are obsessed with reelection to the exclusion of doing congressional business
- The two-party and primary system force Congress critters to adhere often to "national" rather than local priorities, at least for election and fundraising purposes
Writing these down, I start to think it is really nothing more than money in politics that has fucked everything up. No more, no less. Everything else is symptomatic. Blinding glimpse of the obvious, there.

Of course he’s not incapable. Just unwilling.
I dunno, we'll see. I don't discount the possibility that he's going to try to Sark up the offense at the earliest opportunity.
But, he's been slapped in the face with a couple of really hard points of evidence that I'm not sure he's encountered before: two top 10 wins by going away from the preferred offense, and a loss and two bad wins with complete offensive stagnation while attempting the preferred offense.
This will be Sark's opportunity to extract himself from the ourobouros of suck.
