When Bergolio passes shortly,my hope is Cardinal Sarah replaces him to restore order after this Jesuit Communist, who gives bar bouncers a bad name, made a mess. For an ethnic American Catholic to type such a sentence but a few decades ago would have been unthinkable. Bergolio started out as a rat for the Argentine junta in the day and his self-preservation streak has been his main focus since. There is so much bad personally and canonically with this Anti Pope. A man like Ted Mccarrick should have been tarred and feathered. Bergolio instead set him up in a nice apartment on the campus of Marquette. His 1st instincts are ALWAYS to deride traditionalists and conservative while coddling the Church’s enemies, inside and out.

For the majority of old people I know, their lives revolve around doctors visits. Then again, there’s a growing number of people in their 40s and 50s that I know who go to the doctor at least monthly. These people never question a thing the doctor tells them to do or a pill they get prescribed; I know a guy in his late 40s who takes 20 pills a day.

I think for many of these people going to the doctor is woven into their fabric of life. They have friends they see there, they have a directive given to them to follow through on, they have blood tests and future visits scheduled; their future is planned at the doctor. It’s funny though, none of the plans they’re given involve exercising more, losing weight, getting off pills, and going to the doctor less…

Have a relative who is elderly and going through hospitals, doctors, rehab, for various aliments. One thing I’m struck by; doctors refuse to simply say, “Look, you’re at the end of your life. There’s very little we can do here beyond palliative care. You are not going to get better, rather you can experience modest improvement”. They’re sold on the idea they’ll get better. And it leads to the elderly running to doctors’ appointments and therapies and prescription drugs that don’t do much but ratchet up unrealistic expectations and anxiety.

Former. Remarkably only time my client ever got close to an arrest was when he took exception to somebody attempting to park in his parking spot that he had shoveled out after a blizzard. Local TV station was waiting down the street when he came out of his house with Louisville Slugger, but he deftly put on his grandpa act and claimed he needs the bat to knock ice off his car. These phone apps have put guys like him out of business altogether.

Problems: having known and represented bookies “professionally”; who does Rosenbloom place a $3 million bet with? Who takes that bet? How does he settle up in hard US currency cash of $3.3 million with the vig in 1969?

Don Maynard, the Jets’ top receiver and a HoFer, was injured in practice before the game in a time teams hid injuries and didn’t have to report them. He was strictly a decoy all 1st half. Jets in fact had a great offensive gameplan and a better defense with Buddy Ryan as their coordinator. And even with all that, Unitas still almost stole the game in relief(which admittedly is not the same thing as covering a huge spread). Also, the Chiefs , the AFC entrant, won the Super Bowl the next season.

Perhaps US Army should consider night time training missions near urban airports with lots of ambient light might be a bad idea? US Reagan has flights landing and taking off roughly every minute as you can even see on the video.

Suspect it has happened already. Ken Stabler in his autobiography acknowledged hanging around with Dixie Mafia types during his career. Some of his games at the end of his career with the Oilers and Saints, who were often losing teams, had some very strange endings. He wasn’t admitted to the Hall of Fame until after his death. May be less likely today because so much data is out there, and NFL security and casinos are all over it. NFL security back then was not very sophisticated . Plus players make way more $ than ever.

Odd thing; the NFL and MLB file their taxes as “sports entertainment” concerns; no different than the WWE. MLB has a SCOTUS-decreed anti-trust exemption. The NFL, off the USFL trial, a de facto one.

Trump, as the victorious plaintiff in the USFL trial, has never cashed the NFL’s check of $3.

Sabbathia was a beast. recall when he was with the Yankees, had a bonus for innings pitched that he was very close to achieving in his last start vs. the Rays. But when a Yankee was beaned by a Rays pitcher, Sabbathia had no problem hitting a Ray batter next inning knowing it could cost him achieving the benchmark bonus, upon his ejection. Yankees were rumored to have paid the bonus anyway.

“Blue Velvet” was so different from anything else.

There was always an undercurrent of humor to everything he did. And he was a funny guy. RIP

Except folk and then rock were major improvements in every way on blues; lyrically and musically. All music to some degree is built on what came before. And while some of the bluesmen made some coin on their own, the perpetual fealty and groveling to Johnson, Tharp and others is ridiculous. Everybody borrowed from them, but most did something completely different and better. To hear Clapton, for example, babble on about this guy or that whom he may have heard a bit as “the greatest” is tedious and merely charitable. Usually the bass line in every blues song is the same scale, the riffs also the same, to the point of redundancy. Lousy guitarists and bad bass guys (I’m both) can duplicate it very quickly after your first few lessons. Not saying it’s not fun, simply not the ground-breaking genius we’ve been told it is.

And in a PC woke world, another example of playing up African contributions while downplaying Euro ones. Much of folk and rock owes a lot to the music of the Irish and Scots and their white Southern bluegrass progeny. Ken Burns, in both his ridiculous rock and roll and country docs, beats this to death. Also, treating the the Beastie Boys like geniuses rather than good marketers while ignoring The Who, The Kinks and The Clash, well….

We still have no idea why Mangione hung around NYC for a week. Nor how and why he had any idea the US Healthcare CEO would be in midtown at that time. There are very few CEOs Americans know-Musk, Tim Cook, Bill Gates, Bob Iger, Jamie Dimon, Pinchar . This guy is very educated and tech savvy, but absent something else, why this guy, why then?

Observation; the Mangione family almost certainly grew up in the same Baltimore Italian neighborhood as Nancy Pelosi’s family.

If somebody has a “manifesto”….

Who else was disappointed that the Underground Railroad was neither under ground nor had any railroads? No doubt the kangz n queenz crowd will try to claim she was responsible for subways , if they haven’t already. Local historic home site tried to claim the root cellar, a feature of every 18th/19th century house, was somehow part of the UGRR. There’s no evidence to that, hut anything to spill some ink on the overblown fairy tale.

Tubman was, no matter what image you see, not a good looking woman. Simply put Vanessa Williams or Halle Berry on the $20 bill be done with it.

Maryland National Guard has made her an honorary brigadier; Brigga please!

Also; Jackson and Jones managed to give Eddie Van Halen a big screen TV in lieu of a writing credit that would be worth millions on “Beat it”.

Not discussed; black mothers are less likely to have a supportive spouse or partner living with them, less likely to avail themselves selves of prenatal care nor basic simple nutrition, less likely to be employed and therefore have health insurance, and more likely to abuse substances like alcohol, cigs and hard drugs during their pregnancies. And every one of those basic things lead to lower birth weights and higher infant mortality. In short, stop blaming whitey for everything and look in the mirror; will be a new experience for all of us.

October surprise; he’s a dirty commie, but not gay.

Network TV has diabetic fat old Queen Latifah beating the shit out of 10+ buff dudes who look like they bench press Honda Accords every week. This is considered realism to network TV executives. Also ignore the original source material of an old world-weary white guy CIA op or old back guy spook Denzel Washington, both smart and deadly. So, fat black chick from the PJs who can barely speak English, then?

Sheridan also produces the Jeremy Renner show “Mayor of Kingstown” which is at least entertaining if bordering on a live action gang movie cartoon. His various “Yellowstone” shows never seem to get to any resolutions . One thing to draw things out for another season for more $, but people get a bit tired if things never getting resolved and story lines getting recycled over and over. Which is what happened with “Sons of Anarchy”, where Sheridan got his start. If your David Chase of David Simon, and the characters are fun, you can get away with that. Otherwise it’s the same show over and over. In “1923” ‘s 1st season(and like all his shows, currently on hiatus) Sheridan never has his protagonist interact with any of the other prominent characters in the show. And there’s no real drama to that, since we know he will eventually anyway.

How does a lunatic with no apparent source of income go back and forth to Ukraine without somebody else arranging it?

How did this loon know Trump would be on that golf course at that time? Wasn’t on a public schedule. There’s no coincidence here. Was only stopped by local police, not feds, because civilians took a photo of his car and plate. This guy is one huge loose end for The Blob. Perfect patsy; apparently schizophrenic and when he’s Epsteined, hey, the guy was nuts, no surprise, right?

Steve wrote all of four lines, and the rest was an excerpt from an article written by someone else.

The fact remains, Harvard and Yale are confident that they are above the law, and they are usually right about that.

My recommended strategy for white applicants still works, so I will post it again for all the newcomers who haven’t seen it before :

I consistently have said, for years, that the best AA bet for a white applicant or job-seeker is to pretend to be Hispanic. It is the most credible and easiest hack of the AA system.

Any white person with zero Hispanic ancestry or connection can become a credible Hispanic, as per the excellent how-to guide that pro wrestler Scott Hall gave everyone over 30 years ago. This how-to guide is worthy of intensive study.

Here was generic white Scott Hall as ‘himself’ in 1987, with his career still stuck in the minor league :

Here he was, reinvented as menacing Cuban drug lord ‘Razor Ramon’ in 1992. Yes, both videos feature the same person :

As this was before the Internet and real names were hard to unearth, a lot of viewers never even suspected he was anything other than a Cubano. As he had to sustain the mannerisms, accent, etc. every day, that makes Scott Hall a better actor than even Al Pacino.

This reinvention fast-tracked his career to the top. He became Ric Flair’s tag team partner as well as cocaine supplier. Razor’s cocaine was a lot more potent than what even Ric Flair was accustomed to, so watch the very end to see Ric Flair go utterly insane on his cocaine high :

The last part is pure gold. Not to mention that it is very convenient that Razor’s early opponent was Randy Savage, so that Razor could say “Macho Mang” frequently.

Pure gold, chico.

Again, a big story this doc no doubt missed; Prince was in fact a serious businessman in a business that treats the talent poorly. And Prince wouldn’t work with Michael Jackson exactly because Jackson under that little boy exterior treated other musicians disdainfully. Jackson hoodwinked Paul McCartney when the Beatles’ publishing catalogue came up for bid. And when Eddie Van Halen contributed the riff to “Beat It” all he got was a big screen TV worth a few thousand rather than a writing credit that was worth millions. Van Halens’ management was horrified when they found out.

Prince’s conflict was he wanted to be appreciated as a rock star, a stellar musician and producer rather than pigeonholed as a black performer , off to the side in pop and increasingly rap. And while he gained the respect of rock audiences over time, he never really sealed the deal. And really rap audiences don’t appreciate “concept albums” nor virtuoso guitar work.

Don’t think Prince would like that a documentary about him would dwell at all on race. Think he would prefer time be allotted to real stories about Sinead O’Connor and playing hoops with Charlie Murphy. Or how many pop stars are ripping him off like Bruno Mars. Why is this kind of doc never for a minute fun? Because to his credit, Prince on stage was fun. May be not if you’re Morris Day these days.

Stew Peters was excluded from Carlson’s SLC event with Glenn Beck yesterday. Peters had purchased tickets for a meet&greet and was asked to leave. May be less disagreement than recognizing there is a limit to have far he can go . Can understand it.

Wait until they start looking into Obama’s neighbor in Chicago, Louis Farrakhan and his ideas about race.

No need for a theme park. You could just go to Boro Park, Williamsburgh, Crown Heights all in Brooklyn or Kiryas Joel in upstate NY if you want the full Jewish immersive experience. Cast members will spit on you and call you goy, so don’t think this will be much a revenue generator. But I could be wrong; Disney is now filled with freaks and losers, many on those ugly scooters, so may be that would have some appeal to them.

PS; Scarcella was a homicide detective in Brooklyn North at roughly the same time who had nothing to do with the CP5. Some of his actions were in fact reprehensible. Would also note at the time of the crack wars, NYC was dealing with over 2000 murders a year, and where Scarcella(and his partner, Steven Chmil) worked was ground zero. He cut corners. In once I saw first hand, allowed a jailhouse snitch already imprisoned for serious violent crimes to visit his girlfriend’s apartment for an unsupervised conjugal visit. Judge went absolutely ballistic. We don’t know how many times they did that kind of thing without anyone finding out. In part because the caseload was overwhelming. Bosses in both NYPD and the Brooklyn DA”s office wanted cases solved. Won’t defend any of that, but he wasn’t working in a vacuum and when they were solving cases back then, and those clearances made lots of people happy. It doesn’t justify his actions to explain how, when and why that happened. Several provably innocent men went to jail because of him; completely indefensible. But Scarcella did arrest some men who were very guilty, and some appellate attorneys started throwing his name into such cases as well as cases he had little or nothing to do with in hopes of getting their clients convictions reversed.

I knew and occasionally worked with Scarcella and Chmil . They did in fast play fast and loose. In part, because they were working ridiculous hours, and in part because there was pressure to solve cases. Again, explanation, not justification. Sheehan, didn’t know personally but had mutual friends; his reputation was he was a straight shooter. In both instances though was a time and place where police often depended on confessions because the science of then rather than now was comparatively primitive. But again, also, in NY anyway you can’t get a defendant’s statements admitted without a pretrial hearing regarding whether it was voluntary and constitutionally valid. NY courts were and are not some backwater; judges often ruled against cops and DAs in such cases. Those hearings did happen with the CP5 and the statements were admitted.

Where the “innocence” nonsense goes off the rails. In NY and many other states, “acting in concert” makes you as culpable of a crime as the person who completes the act, https://ypdcrime.com/penal.law/article20.php . Instead the advocates for The 5 pretend criminal culpability is closer to a game of tag. It isn’t; if you assist the rapist in any way, you are as guilty. There’s no requirement everybody has to penetrate the victim, merely act in furtherance, be it assaulting her, holding her down, being a lookout, sexually molesting here in other ways.

“That fallback theory of Reyes being the rapist and the others relegated to helping him, or he pounced after them (but what were they doing then because they left no DNA) theory has never been heard by a jury.” WRONG.Reyes wasn’t before either jury. But the DA’s office did in fact argue this since they didn’t know who’s semen it was until Reyes came to light. There’s no requirement for DNA when “acting in concert’ comes into play. In fact it’s exactly what happened.

Without giving away too much about my misspent youth, this happens all the time. The statements were videotaped and the defendants were advised of their rights not to talk and spoke to the ADA anyway, some with family or guardians present. There was nothing about their statements that were coerced. If NYPD was looking to frame youths wholesale, why only these 5 among the 37 taken into custody, and the other 32 released? That they weren’t 4 square interlocking doesn’t mean they were innocent. Lots of guilty defendants make statements to try to minimize their guilt or in hopes of getting a better deal and lighter sentence. They all placed themselves at the scene and doing various things from holding her down to assaulting her and grabbing her breasts. n for a penny, in for a pound. The statements were admitted only after a judge had a pretrial hearing about their admissibility and rules them voluntary and admissible. That’s all a juries needed.

In short, the world of the liberal fools who spend their days and nights pretending these criminals are little innocents walking through Central Park between helping out at the soup kitchen on their way to a novenas, and that NYPD (then and now diverse, such the first cop on the scene happened to be black) a racist gang framing innocent black teens, makes me sick. They destroying this country, every fuckin’ day. They’re criminals and thugs. This revision is a disgusting farce and disgrace.

Suspect this bullshit revisionism is the lead detective in the case, Mike Sheehan, passed away in the interim. Sheehan would not have taken this lying down. He want on to then become an actor, with a small role in a “Rocky” movie, and then a TV crime reporter in NYC for several decades.

27% of Britons (for lack of a better definition) watched the Aussie break dancer “breakdance”. On that basis, they could be correct.

Walz is a week younger than me. He looks 75 rather than 60. Has the guy engaged in any physical activity spare running his mouth since he retired from the National Guard?

Shapiro, warts and all, gives Kamala a great shot at carrying PA, a state she needs to win the Electoral College. Without PA, takes some Rube Goldberg machinations like carrying Omaha, Nebraska. This middle manager socialist reminds everyone Minneapolis was allowed to burn in 2020.

Increasing GDP by virtue of adding 3rd world dregs is not the same as improving quality of life. In fact, makes things worse in every way. The Chamber of Commerce has been telling you otherwise; they are idiots. These illegal aliens and those that come along with them are parasites .

Watched it again a few weeks ago. Stands up wonderfully. At a loss why Gibson as old Max was never brought back in the series rather than 85 pound Anya Taylor Joy beating the shit out a legion of guys who bench press Hondas all day. Tina Turner was a boss, but it wasn’t forced and it wasn’t ridiculous.

Lots of kente cloth, Kwanza decorations and Wakanda forever! What does the initial X stand for anyway?

Colon cancer if caught early is very survivable. And it gives off lots of symptoms related to your GI. To have let it go until it was diagnosed as stage 4 speaks to a person that isn’t very bright and isn’t living a smart healthy life.

New York City past few days; 2 little girls playing in a Brooklyn park hit by gangbanger gun fire. An illegal alien suspected of robbing people at gunpoint on a moped shoots 2 cops. But the powers that be are all over President Trump for a campaign violation that the FEC chairman who wrote the law says i snot a campaign violation. Oh, he wasn’t allowed to testify.

Ask any silly liberal; what is the statute Trump so violated 34 times? What are the elements of this offense? If it was murder, grand larceny, rape, they are all defined in detail in our penal codes. This supposed crime, well, there isn’t a statute with defined elements. They made it up.

Are they going to add to the stats of black players who managed to get into MLB like Aaron, Doby, Mays, Campanella, Newcombe, Paige? Doesn’t appear to be well thought out.

Problem is the quality of NL was never close to MLB, even if some of the players were as good. Competition was inferior and conditions not uniform.

While very different people with different health issues, Jerry Garcia, Bob Marley and Walton all had lifelong pot smoking habits. All died relatively young of cancers. Marijuana advocates always celebrate it as wonderful and natural, but any delivery system that involves introducing smoke to your lungs is bad for you and exposes you to carcinogens.

Walton became very vocally upset about the decline of his hometown of San Diego in the last few years, but I’d bet every penny he supported and voted for every leftist Dem forever.

“RACIST” ; define terms. Better to dismiss data. JACKSON JULES cannot fail to call you that for fear the bigger leftist community will write him out of respectable intellectuals.

He doesn’t deal with Chetty’s failure to discren the menaing of his own data.

Obama; it’s the 3rd rail of America’s Left and academia. To acknowledge there are issues in his sketchy background will never be allowed. A man proud of his SAT or LSAT scores would brag. He doesn’t. There’s really no straight line from Hawaii to Occidental, Columbia and Harvard. Afirmative action, Grandpa’s connections and serious ass kissing at Harvard appear more likely than him being a intellectual giant.

And as above, not addressed; the high SAT Ivy League is right now damaging their brand beyond redemption. Not grasping Chetty and his ilk telling us their truth form on high is about to be over.

Borderline Hall of Famer Yankees Bernie Williams is a talented classical guitarist who’s been plausibly on stage with many rock bands and has won a Grammy award. An unusual guy; born in Puerto Rico to 2 teachers descended from African-Americans who moved to PR for work.

The squatter case in Douglaston; as an attorney who does realty closings in NY, at a loss how they closed(paid the seller to transfer title) with the home occupied rather than vacant. They by law get to walk through to examine the premises right before closing. Nonetheless I feel awful for these people. As an attorney ,could never tell anyone to break the law and engage in violence. But a few large lads with baseball bats discussing the squatter’s options with might be in order here get his attention.

We have grown a bit too polite and legalistic as a society. Going to come a point the law will be ignored not only by the lawbreaking but by those who have until now followed it. The Left does not grasp how this might end.

2 huge problems; First, the $ is going to the State of NY. There are no plaintiffs. None of the banks complained and Trump never defaulted. While that idiot Kathy Hochul has said, don’t worry, it’s only about Orange Man bad(none of that Bill of Attainder due process constitution stuff if you are the wrong party) , lots of real estate and banking companies are more than a bit worried James may turn her lawfare on them should they anger the wrong people. This at a time NYC office space is increasingly vacant and unpopular. this is another reason to get out.

2nd , what happens should Trump be forced to sell these properties to satisfy the judgment and…they in fact do sell for roughly he said they were worth, or more. Trump would be forced to sue NY state again. It’s ludicrous lawfare without end.

Polyamory invariably is going to be a Muslim disaster of a family gaming the system for benefits and contributing nothing while barely raising their kids. Or ugly urban weirdos in cities. Nobody thinks some aging Jewish Park Slope whore pretending to be cutting edge is a trend to follow spare a few moron overeducated Times readers. She’s a whore. It will not be Bill Paxton owning a string of hardware stores raising his prosperous productive family with multiple hot wives. It’s bad public policy. Arab countries have been a mess forever in part because excess unmarried young men.

They thought trans was gonna fly. Alas now Bud Light has Kid Rock, the UFC and Dana White to make amends. Nobody wants to lose money. Well except Hollywood, apparently. Every movie must now feature black girl magic, or Jeffrey Wright or Mashereyechart Ali (nee Hershal Gilmore, quite boring and ordinary and or likely to attract much notice of casting directors, but black AND Muslim, hot damn! ) overacting and saying how evil those white devils are to be considered Oscar-worthy.

Sadly, had Cardinal Francis Arinze of Nigeria, a black man, been elected pope in the last conclave, much of the ongoing idiotic heresy might have been avoided. Arinze is a conservative who has dealt with Islam first hand, as opposed to the current usurper giving bar bouncers a bad name.

As someone from inside NYC law enforcement, late 1980s thru mid 1990s; Giuliani and then Bloomberg encouraged cops to aggressively target criminals. Before that, cops were in many ways discouraged from taking police action. Precinct commanders went form guys who closed the doors to their offices and napped or drank, to commanders who had to marshal personnel to address identifiable criminal activity. And you had a court system that for a time took crime seriously; if you were caught with a gun, bail was getting set, and, even if you were an All Pro NFL WR(and frankly more a silly goose than a master criminal), you were going to jail for a year.

A fair criticism is that once NYPD got things under relative control, the COMPSTAT approach kept playing numbers games needlessly and counterproductively. Cops were sometimes directed to make stops that were unnecessary and numbers were sometimes and egregiously fudged and falsified. Often failed to grasp all the policing in the world is not going to stop every crime, especially in minority neighborhoods. None of that diminishes the role NYPD’s stop&frisk policies had in making a lot of bad guys think twice about carrying a gun and committing crime.

Right now, cops are scared to death to do anything. And the courts are turnstiles.

Guy just spent 4 months with Taylor Swift and her minions disturbing his peacefully watching his son’s football games; totally understandable.

Looks like Trump leaves a lot of money at the table. This should all be low-hanging fruit, but his ego is out of control; 3 hour speeches, nasty comments he doesn’t need to make(Haley is in fact a Chamber of Commerce establishment turd, but totally pointless to bash someone you’re beating like a rented mule), babbling about Taylor Swift. There’s nobody to tell him no. Would hope his 2 sons would bring some focus and discipline but it’s never happened and probably never will.

The appeal of Desantis was always Trump policies without Trump and some serious focus. Not happening this cycle.

Also not getting album of the year; Dark Side of the Moon, Led Zeppelin IV, Who’s Next? American Beauty, Exile on Main Street, Nevermind, Born to Run, Rumors. …could go on here for a while.

This is pretty close to the truth; lots of intermarriage, forced or not, with north Africans in Sicily and southern Italy. Some Greeks as well. Being in the middle of the Mediterranean led to lots of cross pollination

Lombardi was son of a Brooklyn butcher. His great nephew still is http://www.brenmansmeatmarket.com/Hours_%26_Location.html

As an Irish guy who grew up with and has family who are Italian, sounds like the perpetual feud between southern Italians (Sicilians and Napolitans) and northern Italians. Bulk of immigrants to America are southern, and therefore much of Italian–American cuisine is more southern. The northerners have always looked down on the southerners, and annoys northerners to no end that the “southern” cuisine is what many think of when they think of Italian cuisine.

Lots of cuisines get impacted by immigration. Irish and corned beef and cabbage; only find it in Ireland because Americans asked for it. Irish immigrants on the boats coming to the US were fed simple boiled meat with potatoes and cabbage on the trip over. They associated it with “home” and went looking for it here. With a bit of prosperity, Jewish conveyors of corned beef filled the need.

Told by many that what American think of as Chinese food is far from what they would get there. But told by a Chinese friend Chinese people are mostly okay with that rather than annoyed. It sells. There are dim sum places in many US markets like NY, Vegas and LA that barely cater to anyone but Chinese people. There is not a Chinese Grandi.

Grandi sounds like an annoying twerp. Wouldn’t be caught dead in an Olive Garden in the northeast; there are great Italian restaurants everywhere. But if you’ve ever been in Orlando on a 95 degree 100 humidity day with sunburned kids after a day at a theme park, that will do.

Freebird.

Have a look at this video from 45 years ago and tell me our country is moving in the right direction.

When he was a regular guest on Opie and Anthony, had some of the most insightful comments ever said about white people and rock music.

If we’re gonna have a white anthem, I vote “Freebird”.

Give Cuban this; sharp enough to see the rights fees for the NBA are about to hit a wall. Local sports cable channels are going belly up across the land. ESPN is hemorrhaging subscribers and their carriage fees forrom cable systems. The game itself went from a compelling court length war from Bird/Magic then through Kobe to a 3 point contest among mostly inner city whiny fools. The NFL and college football are bulletproof, MLB is blessed with being the only sport in the summer, and the NHL knows it’s lane. The NBA has delusions of grandeur that are not gonna work out.

Cuban saw the opportunity of the Adelsons and jumped. And they only bought in because Texas is about to legalize gambling.

Drivers and pedestrians are more likely to be distracted by their phones than ever before. Daily occurrence to see people crossing the street as you describe.

Lefty QB tends to change the blocking scheme to cover the QB’s blind side. So the right tackle becomes more important than the left tackle. Also means more formations with the tight end lining up next to the RT rather than the LT. Steve Young and Boomer Esiason both lefties, both had great careers.

Hockey goalies, doesn’t really matter much. Something of a suspicion that North American goalies, having played baseball as kids, are better with their glove hand. Remains to be seen; lots of Euro NHL goalies are very adept with their gloves. And for skaters, lots of right-handers shoot left-handed. Makes a difference with defensemen as you want a lefty on you left point to keep the puck in the offensive zone as it comes along the boards easily rather than reaching across his body, and opposite on the right side.

At my wedding, my wife invited a very nice Caribbean work pal. She gave us a greeting card featuring a “mahogany” black bride and groom. As she was the only black person in a party of over 200 people, we took it in the light-hearted way it was given; it was funny. Was a nice laugh for all, nothing more. Shame we can’t get back to that. Would say the Obama Error made that kind of interaction impossible.

After Greenblatt let the cat out of the bag by saying the word “Christian” like it was a curse, the ADL has finally come to the realization the evil goyim they’ve demonized forever aren’t the problem. Too late. White supremacy was never the problem. And worse the blacks they’ve put on a pedestal going on half a century are not remotely interested in giving Jews a pass on being white. In fact, they hate you too.

Never much cared for the ADL. But when Greenblatt did that, told us all they hate us. The ADL along with the SPLC can both go to hell. And if the ADL wonders why younger Americans don’t have any affinity for Jews and Israel, you did it to yourselves. Reality is whites and Christian never had a problem with you and still don’t. But if you want to invent a issue with them, don’t expect everyone else to play your stupid game.

Son is a big Van Morrison fan and has seen him numerous times. Basically his reputation is there are nights he’s into it and puts on a great show, and nights he doesn’t care even a bit and mails it in. Had the same kinds of experiences seeing David Bowie, though that had much to do with how much drugs he was using. Van Halen, with either singer same thing; was Eddie in a good mood that night? Contrast with AC/DC, The Who and the late Tom Petty; always a good show.

She’s done such a great job with the border so….

Roughly something similar happened to goalie Clint Malarchuk of the Buffalo Sabres in March, 1989 . But he was fortunate that the trainer working the game that night had been a US military medic in Vietnam and managed to stanch the bleeding enough to save his life. This looks like freak play, and that Petgrave lost his balance.

NBA has 2 different kinds of American white guys; ones like my former Brooklyn neighbor Chris Mullin, who embrace the dark side to fit in, or Larry Bird and John Stockton types. This kid looks like the latter.

Thompson’s African dad left his Scottish mom in the classic going out for a pack of smokes and never returning fashion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daley_Thompson

To date, the only case I know of in which under the “2 sovereigns” legal fiction a black man was acquitted in state court of murder and convicted of violating the civil rights of a white guy, in this case, an Australian Hasidic Jew in Brooklyn NY https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemrick_Nelson

Competing issues; can’t invade during or too close to Biden’s visit lest it looks like the US authorized it. The siege of withholding materiel makes it harder for Hamas to supply a fighting force. But the longer you wait, world opinion will be less accommodating. And Hamas will be able to set up more booby traps, IEDs and secure sniper positions.

“Do you see those two buildings? They won’t be standing there next week.”

So the IDF, Shin Bet and Mossad had no idea about the broad invasion 2 weeks ago, despite significant prep, right down to a faux Israeli town to practice. But now, in barely a day,they have clear Hamas radio traffic regarding the hospital bombing.

Lots of people on the right have advocated for increases in population growth as an absolute good. This goes hand in hand with immigration, legal and illegal, in countries with declining birth rates. And as a raw number GDP may increase. But that isn’t the same thing as per capita GDP. It doesn’t take into account quality of life for most Americans.

Yet Japan has zero immigration and negative population growth, but per capita GDP, even if it dipped in 2022, is still among the best in the world. In developed countries, why would you import people who are a drag on your resources and contribute very little. It’s a bad idea. With more automation, they will be an even bigger drag. That’s before you even get to a lower trust society and Tower of Babble lack of cohesion. The Chamber of Commerce types like everyone on the low end of the wage scale fighting for jobs, but that is not is America’s interests as a whole.

Great comment but I have to say, VH’s Carnal Knowledge album, start to finish, is an absolute masterpiece of rock, IMO.

EVH was one of the best ever. Wasn’t much of a songwriter, which is why VH albums have so many covers or songs written by somebody else. Blue-eyed soul Doobie Michael McDonald, who was pals with their mutual producer, Ted Templeman, gave them “Ill Wait”.

Also wasn’t much of a businessman. Pete Townsend was asked by Quincy Jones to step into Michael Jacksons’ session for “Beat It” but recommended EVH. Rather than taking a writing credit for the song that would have been worth millions, Jones gave him… a big screen TV. The entire VH management team was disgusted. Another occasion Michael Jackson fucked over a music legend, as he did with Paul McCartney and the Beatles catalogue bidding. And why Prince refused to work with him.

Recall Johnathan Greenblatt spitting out the word “Christian” with utter and complete disgust. Or Merrick Garland setting the FBI onto Catholics attending Latin Mass. Or it’s un-ending farce of chasing down the imaginary evil of “white supremacy” .

We aren’t and were never your real problem. Nor your enemy.

Liberal American Jews fed the wolves of the Left raw meat for so long, they assumed the wolves would never bite them. Well guess what; you do that long enough around indiscriminate omnivore wild animal, and it’s is going to eat what ever is nearby.

And as we look at a border out of control coupled with Palestinian flags in the faces of Jewish rallies across the country; take a bow. The idiocy of your open borders social justice warrior BULLSHIT imported the very people who hate you the very most. You not only asked for it, you worked for it.

Sewell to her credit was a diligent straightforward hard-working public servant who supported the rank & file. Arguably she was far and away the best police commissioner in recent memory.

And taking orders from a blasted fool like Eric Adams eventually proved too much for her. She will be missed.

Or it’s…a scam. And one with no discernible academic rigor nor anything to offer those who pretend it’s even a field after “studying”. Unless you go into the grift.

Putting real estate developer/NWO douchebag Bono on the same plane with these greats; CANCELLABLE!

Heard from may people Booker lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn. As a senator, obviously spends a lot of time in DC, so really how much time could he spend in NJ anyway?

Never understood how it was anyone could parlay being mayor of Newark in being a senator. It’s a dump, spare a nice arena. And after the game or concert, you want to get the hell out of there.

He worked hard on his tan to look more Latino.

He didn’t put in one-tenth of the effort of Scott Hall, even though Richardson really was three-fourths Hispanic.

Pro wrestler Scott Hall gave everyone an excellent how-to guide about how any white person can be a credible Hispanic, over 30 years ago :

Here was generic white Scott Hall as ‘himself’ in 1987 :

Here he was, reinvented as menacing Cuban drug lord ‘Razor Ramon’ in 1992. Yes, they are the same person :

As this was before the Internet and real names were hard to unearth, a lot of viewers never even suspected he was anything other than a Cubano.

He became Ric Flair’s tag team partner as well as cocaine supplier. Razor’s cocaine was a lot more potent than what even Ric Flair was accustomed to, so watch the very end to see Ric Flair go utterly insane on his cocaine high :

The last part is pure gold. Not to mention that it is very convenient that Razor’s early opponent was Randy Savage, so that Razor could say “Macho Mang” frequently.

Pure gold, chico.

The “Proud Boys” name was chosen by ironic Gen Xer Gavin McInnes. Everybody knows this but you.

Hate thinking you are correct.

As a youth, Election Night was a sedate affair, usually wrapped up late at night on the east coast. May have been some quibbles or late states, but you knew who was elected before you went to sleep.

It has now stretched into Election Season.

And worse; we have no idea if the elections are valid; late night counts being shut down in key swing states; ballot-stuffing , harvesting and mystery mail ins, laws making voter photo ID invalid. As to the last, I worked as a poll worker in NY. NY does not allow asking for ID, rather insists the poll worker compare signatures in the recorded register book. In a time where anyone can get either a drivers’ license of photo ID equivalent, that’s ridiculous.

Parenthetically would note it appears neither Trump nor Rona McDaniel(a relative of the worthless Mitt Romney who looks like a pig walking on it’s hind legs) have done ANYTHING to avoid a replay of 2020. By contrast Ron Desantis has instituted ballot security measure including photo ID.

The Dems to maintain power are totally running this show. At the same time, importing millions who are not and will never be “natural conservatives”(and here, I spare our genial host justifiable profanity and scorn for his imbecile former colleagues at NR and their ilk) to fill out the rolls even further.

Not sure they grasp how corrosive it is to cause many to think our elections are fix jobs. If the elections are a sham, the rule of law is not far behind for the chopping block. Going thru the motions only goes so far when every day incrementally our rights are limited and then ultimately taken away altogether. You guys stole it; why should we respect anything else?

The Gene Wilder version was a perfect movie on so many levels.

And Hollywood, bereft of ideas, had to go and fuck with it, twice.

Candy had a solid dramatic cameo in Oliver Stone’s “JFK” . And in his many great comedies, he could act.

HBO’s Laker series has Adrian Brody playing face-of-Ireland Pat Riley and Jason Siegal playing Philly Irish Catholic Paul Westhead. There has been no riots among the Celt/Gaels despite this outrage.

Brooks like many of our elites embraces the concept that America is a proposition nation, about an ideal, rather than a real place with real people, blood and soil. Yet at the same time celebrate a country in Israel that is explicitly ethnic, about blood and real people. And Brooks in particular forced his 1st wife to convert to Judaism (and since dumped her for a newer model) and had a son serve not in the US military, but in the IDF. And if you bring that up, you’re an antisemite.. Those circles in the Venn diagram do not overlap.

Simply despite the polite veneer, Brooks is a fraud. We would be much better off if Brooks and his ilk of not really conservatives made haste to their true homeland and stop writing high-minded drivel they do not even believe.

Suspect all this resentment and anger has to do with disappointing her parents and affirmative action. What Asian family send their kid to Yale to get a degree in philosophy to become some lousy scribbler? And in the back if her mind she also knows her seat at the Times has a lot to do with management checking some AA boxes for their stats about how diverse they are.

Moved to Paris so mom and dad are at least a continent away.

Lots of Cape and Portuguese people in and around New Bedford. Excellent and very reasonable seafood abounds.

Await your “Oppenheimer” review. Including a discussion about Christopher Nolan casting the role to of a Jewish guy to Cillian Murphy despite having a “map of Ireland” face. Could have had uber Jew Jeremy Strong starve himself but alas, that isn’t what Hollywood does.

The biggest lesson to be learned from the whole thing is NEVER NEVER give up your guns!

The late Aaron Zehlman (died in ’10) had formed an American organization called Jews for the Protection of Firearms Ownership – the JFPO. He was hard-core enough to have written an open letter “THE DAY I’LL JOIN THE NRA” to Ted Nugent taking the NRA to task.

Then, Zehlman had to work against a massive tide of stupidity from his own people, as Americans in general have to keep working against the stupid and apathetic.

Finally, back toward the topic, Soviet Russian dissident Alex Solzhenitsyn wrote a paragraph that Americans need to take to heart VERY SOON:

It almost certainly did. And if they’re still legally married, each still has marital privilege vs. each other in front of prosecutors and grand juries. Pretending to be married is no harder than pretending to be Italian for these lying Marxists.

Not a chance of that.

The admissions offices at the Ivy League and adjacent schools are not simply going to take sons of cops who are next on the list. There’s nor fun in that. No, there are Joy Reids out there who need to meet the admissions staff traveling with 1st class tickets, sleeping in primo hotel rooms and having wonderful meals with the next Joy Reids. They will instead simply adopt a “holistic” approach, race being but one element in a complex matrix or some such nonsense to make litigation less likely.

After the brief kerfuffle about Felicity Hoffman and the like, the legacy thing will go on, if quietly. Look here, mr. fancypants journalist, you have kids who want to go to the right schools; keep your mouth shut and your laptop close about all this . The Jared Kushners of the world will always be with us, or really their dads buying new buildings for the leafy quadrangle campus. The elite like a pliable special 10th of the minorities to make them feel good. And fuck those badwhites forever.

Recall the geniuses of the US Army, David Petraeus and Stanley McChrystal, based their counterintel ops in the Middle East of the French tactics employed in Algeria. They both lost, but it sounded great.

And complaining from which of their 4 luxurious mansions? This country is so……RACIST!
