  • This is crazy, but if California's governor election were today, both qualifiers would be Republican.

    Don't get me wrong: No way the Democrats would let this happen. They'd simply make sure sufficient competitors dropped out of the race. But I think it's still worth noting that the top two gubernatorial candidates are Republicans. That would mean (emphasis on "would") mean that no Democrats qualified for the final. According to RealClearPolitics' polling average, Republicans Hilton and Bianco both 15.5 % of the vote, beating out Democrats Swalwell (12.5%), Porter (10.5%), Steyer (8.5%) and Becerra (4.5%), Villaigrosa (3%), Thurmond (2%) and Yee (1.5%).

    NO ONE CAN BE ABOVE THE CONSEQUENCE is the operational version of: - Pragmatism - Accountability - Shared reality - Mutual responsibility - Truth‑seeking - Civic maturity It’s the only principle that doesn’t require suppressing speech, controlling thought, or enforcing ideological conformity. It simply requires that everyone lives in the world their choices create.

    I once predicted that the improvements in the realness of video games would never stop. That video games will look and act so real that we wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a game and real life. We will ask is that a real footbal game we're watching or is that a sports game being played? AI has delivered on that prediction to an astonishing way. Here is an example of how far AI has come. https://youtu.be/jciMPgEI9dY Now my question is will Hollywood ever produce new films from dead actors? Will there be new Humphry Bogart movies? Will...

    WOW! On Sunday I had perhaps the BEST BBQ wings of my life. You can see them above in a big circle around my new BBQ accessory. I dry brined the wings on Saturday with a mix of kosher salt and baking powder to keep the salinity level low. I kept them on raised two wire racks in the fridge overnight. The next day I put the wings in a big bowl and added a few table spoons of olive oil. Then I thoroughly coated the wings with about a 50/50 mix of Polynesian Pineapple rub and smoked paprika. I...
  • Because corrupt judges shielded illegal aliens, the gov't can't assess the economy.

    Are jobs exploding or is the economy in free-fall? Because of radical policies forced on the Census department by the real unelected Kings of America, judges, the bureaucrats in Washington don't know. If we knew how many illegal aliens there were, we could estimate the effect of giving hundreds of billions of dollars of aid. We could tell pro-illegal states to pay for their own voluntarily assumed costs. We could even ask the courts to reassign congressional representation from illegal aliens to U.S. citizens. So the Kings simply demanded ignorance by preventing us from knowing how many illegal aliens there...

    The AI board of the "Global Efficiency Initiative" met in a room chilled to the exact temperature required to prevent server overheating. Before them sat the "Problem": three million geographically displaced persons currently idling in high-cost transit camps, consuming taxpayer-funded protein paste and occupying valuable real estate. The CEO of the world’s leading robotics firm stood, his smile as polished as his latest prototype. "Ladies and Gentlemen," he began, "why deport them when we can download them? I propose the Kinetic Harvest Initiative." Their consensus plan was elegant. Since the new Optimus Gen 6 robots required billions of hours of...
  • White House unleashes at Gavin Newsom’s European ‘vanity project’ – as Gov makes shocking claim about auto industry

    NY Post ^ | 2/13/26 | Annie Gaus, Josh Koehn
    For the second time in three weeks, Gov. Gavin Newsom has abandoned California to fly to Europe and schmooze with world leaders at the Munich Security Conference. The White House and the governor’s political adversaries have brutally dismissed Newsom’s three-day trip as wasteful showboating. Newsom has been accused of ignoring California’s growing list of problems to peacock around at the talkfest being held in two five-star hotels in Munich – while bashing America and President Trump. “Gavin Newscum’s travels to Davos and Munich would be considered a vanity project if anyone there actually knew or cared who he was,” White...

    My coworker here in the Austin area went online to start the process of starting an IRA account with Fidelity using is JP Morgan Chase account. He was told by the Fidelity Rep that he couldn't do it online because of a FRAUD issue JP Morgan has experienced. Has anyone read/heard about what has happened with JP Morgan regarding this sort of thing? I recommended he put cash in a stock trading account and hold and wait for an inevitable severe downturn which is coming and then buy dividend-paying stocks and HOLD and reinvest the dividends(he's only 22). Then the...

    Hello, all. I'm considering spending winters in Jacksonville Beach, FL; mainly because I'm tired of the NE winters, this one being particularly bad. Based on some research I've done, it seems that it may be possible to live within walking (or biking) distance of stores for basic food items, restaurants, etc. (which is what I'm able to do now, and would like to have). JAX airport appears to be about 40 minutes from the beach area, which is not too bad, and the flight down from the NE is only about 2.5 hours which is also nice.

Where is Haaavad, Yale, Columbia, and Stanford on the massacres in Iran? After years of supporting Hamas in Gaza against the Jews as they claimed 60,000 babies murdered by Israel with zero documentation, they know Iran is murdering young Iranians in the streets and not a single sign. Guess they are proving beyond a shadow of a doubt how much they cared about those children in Gaza, it was simply Virtue Grandstanding for the cameras. Some of the biggest fools...
