The one straight (possibly) white conservative male in Chicago went on a rampage. That's the only plausible explanation because every other type of person is incapable of committing any crime due to . . . you know, oppression and 1619 and phobias, etc. Just look at all the statistics which say so. If he did not pull the triggers he mind controlled the people who did so it is still his fault and let's talk about him.

Didn't he get lifetime amnesty for anything he did, might do, or failed to do, or anything else possible? All he has to do is flash that magic Auto-Sign and Melania is TOAST.

Wait . . . Isn't Great Replacement a fever conspiracy theory of the Proud Boys, Michigan Militia, Promise Keepers, Nazis, Fascists, Uncle Toms, Doomsday Preppers, and every other group that does not drink Dem Kool Aid? When did Beto join them?

So, if illegal aliens are to be granted "due process" what is it called when the American Citizens (i.e. "the people" who are presumably the other side of the court cases brought by/for/against illegal aliens) are denied their side of due process? "a so-called “quiet amnesty” loophole called administrative closure, whereby immigration courts were instructed to dismiss deportation cases or close deportation cases for illegal aliens rather than adjudicating their asylum claims, used by the Biden administration." Biden, the administration, and the Democrats forget who are their constituents - AMERICANS!! Then they are amazed when Americans begin to notice and apply consequences. I guess their being amazed is warranted because they are in charge of most historical mainstream communication paths - network news, university/education, popular media/hollywood, government, etc. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/08/13/exclusive-uscis-director-joe-edlow-says-biden-plan-was-mass-amnesty-to-change-demographics-of-america/

Too much sun. There seems to be more than correlation. Probably causation to the "no plants on Venus" scientific dilemma. And don't even talk about Mercury. NO CO2 and NO PLANTS!! But there seems to be this sun thingy going on . . . Is there a scientist in the house? Mars. Nearly all CO2, No plants. Very cold. No cows farting probably because they can't eat plants. Really needs some greenhouse gases. Can anyone think of any that might help the situation? Science is hard. Let's just make some mandates and that will solve everything!

Gore was science until Fauci became science - Bill Nye was science in between for a bit. Now RV is science. Facts are not science. Extrapolated models which have proven to have no predictive value and fail the simple test to "predict" the past given known input are better than facts. They are NARRATIVE. So the FACT remains that the writers at the NYT are dumber than dirt and rocks because they do not know the FACT that water vapor is a greenhouse gas and the most abundant one at that. It's just science. Arguing the relative merits of different greenhouse gases and reflectivity, absorption, condensation, causation, correlation, the perfect ratios (which is correlates to the climate in the year XXXX and is to be defined by whom?) etc. does not modify in any way the FACT that the NYT lied to its stupid readers or is stupid on its very own. Probably both.

i am not doubting that you read that. I don't believe the numbers in the original reports. 1 minute of looking reveals Sirius had about 28 - 30 million paying customers over the past 5 years. And we are to believe that over 2/3 of them tuned in to Stern every day? To say I am skeptical would be understatement https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/siri/metrics/sirius-xm-subscribers/

20 million listeners per day?!? No way that is accurate. 1 out of every 16 or so people in the country? More than the population of all but 4 states or so?? That number does not pass the sniff test in any way, shape, or form.

From a NYT article: These people are dumber than dirt. Water vapor IS THE greenhouse gas. Far larger amounts of water vapor are in the atmosphere than any other greenhouse gas. The rest of the article is fun to read for its silliness also The summary - "Clean Hyrdrogen" takes so much energy to make that it is not good for use as an energy. At least until we get a perpetual motion machine funded by a money tree. THEN it will be perfect. Until then, plug your cows' butts and pay more taxes. https://archive.is/DRorH

Hmmm. So maybe it wasn't about being good virologists . . . Fauci slipped when he quite rightly said masks are not useful but then changed his story. After that the govi - medi-industri-media complex was in lockstep. Poor little rich girl, Rachel. She is too stupid to be evil. Glib, well spoken, passionate, self-assured, doubtless, etc. but just dumb. Most definitely at most a midwit.

Dude, it was a moment of weakness and you will be readmitted to the realm of the sane after a short time out. Did you also believe the Jews are starving the children of Gaza like the NYT published? Or were you still on your game and KNOW that the Hamas-holes are interceding on all humanitarian aid because the suffering of Arabs is what they need?

More straight white male conservatives on the loose. Not actually doing anything but staging others to do it. Probably via mind-control. https://www.jns.org/nyt-building-vandalized-after-gaza-story-correction-issued/ Schadenfreude is a terrible thing to feel and I am not happy with myself right now . . . There, I'm over it.

Breaking news from RV. BLM and all of the riots during the summer of 2020 were staged by straight white male straight conservatives. Of course, it is a vast conspiracy. Started in 1619, natch.

What pants?

Example of cancel culture: Stating "All lives matter" then losing job of 20+ years the next day. Not examples of cancel culture: Not having your tens of millions of dollars contract renewed because your show loses tens of millions of dollars every year due to your antics alienating 50+% of the population.

John Boy and Billy - from the early 90's when I was station in NC.

They even neglected his possibleness. Lots of neglect on the reporting of this one. Could not they have at least said, "he's impossibly white" to help us get a clearer picture and to burnish their journalistic bona fides. Another helpful description would have been "may or may not be white". In either case we get the evil white word associated with another mass shooter who, anyway, should have been white. Can we get Ketanji Brown Jackson's biologist in the house to make a determination? Or is that biologist qualified to observe only sex?

If you see something Say something.

The funniest thing I've seen yet in all of this:

I have a question about cancel culture. If I choose not to partake of a certain entertainer's entertainment am I engaging in cancel culture? If I don't call for boycotts? If I don't disparage the person's character in public? If I don't ask authorities to remove the person's ability to make a living via debanking or deplatforming or any other means of affecting the person's access to deliver his entertainment? If I don't shout him down so that he cannot deliver his entertainment? Choosing not to partake is not cancel culture. I listened to Stern years ago but would not pony up the $$ for Sirius. I would listen to him in the morning and Limbaugh at noon. I think I am not an outlier in that. Late night, Stern, et al are not being cancelled. They are self-withering into irrelevance. And Chappelle is not in that group of those "cancelled by MAGA". But he does rile up everyone and for that i watch everything he puts out. P.S. I still think Trump is a steaming pile of dog feces I was forced to select over the options the Dems presented.

El Luchador, Offthemat, ionel. All great points and I welcome the discussion. I wish the article would address all of this also. But perhaps an article cannot deep dive the topic and must address on the surface level only. No matter how insufficient the analysis and conclusions.

I start this by saying I am generally against minimum wage laws due to their effect on the young and unskilled first time job market entrant. However, being a little bit numerate I find the anti-minimum wage people have some more work to do here. Original status vs. Wage hike: 500,000 workers x $15 per hour = $7.5 mn per hour worked. 482,000 workers x $20 per hour = $9.64 mn per hour worked. So a 3.6% drop in employment is accompanied by a 29% increase in money earned per hour. The arguments have to go much deeper into things like loss of total hours worked. Loss of buying power (i.e. quality of life) for all the buyers of the food. Increased use of welfare services, etc. And also the effects higher barriers to entry at the lowest levels of the employment pool. There are tradeoffs and they must be addressed. Is it better for 482,000 people have 33% more buying power at the cost of 18,000 being out of work. We could easily pay the 18,000 their lost wages ($270k) out of the increased taxes on the $20/hour workers. I am not arguing for ever higher and higher minimum wages. Otherwise the Buzz Lightyear Minimum Wage - To Infiniti and Beyond - would apply. I am stating that a more coherent and comprehensive counter argument than 500k workers vs 482k workers working must be presented and defended.

Last sentence is gold. "At publishing time, sources indicated that zero people so far had been arrested for the Russia collusion." https://babylonbee.com/news/investigation-concludes-trump-is-the-only-one-who-didnt-collude-with-russia That last sentence is, of course, parody because many people have been arrested and their lives ruined over this hoax. The "funny" part is they were innocent.

i am surprised anyone is surprised at this consequence. It was blindingly obvious that raising the cost of giving up a counter take down would lower the risky activity of taking shots and also over-rewarding the first take down would lead to 3rd period stallfests. Don't people who know wrestling, wrestlers, and the mind-set of those at the top of the sport make the rules and also comment on these pages?

Why did CNN use He pronouns? KBJ’s biologist had not confirmed it yet. Any responsible journalist would have thrown possibly in there also. Or the very useful “ may or may not” which covers 100%of all possibilities in every single instance.
