Exploding the deficit and making it impossible to properly fund all the important government programs liberals hold dear but progressively for no real reason

DHS keeps the fuck plane. Lewandowski stays on it and he has to fuck. Markwayne's problem now.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Liberals told me to vote for Kamala Harris or there would be war in the Middle East. Well, I voted for Kamala Harris – and now there's war in the Middle East.

I’ve known Ghida for 20 years, and am happy to vouch for her efforts here β€” this is NOT a scam.

This fundraiser directly supports a school shelter in Beirut, Lebanon for displaced persons as a result of US / Israel war on Iran (and Lebanon).

Please donate if able and share widely.

Amtrak’s Empire Builder No. 28 leaves the Rose City behind, a few minutes late due to a β€œsecurity issue” at the station. Note the lounge car just behind the locomotive, showing off Amtrak’s new Phase VII livery for the Superliner fleet.

Describe your favorite games poorly:

- Bug gets kidnapped by her grandma and forced to survive Catholicism
- Deadbeat dad realizes his son didn’t meet expectations, abandoned child has to take his place
- Traumatized ex-child soldier seeks to restart his dead religion

Doctors say that vaccines are the best way to protect children against measles. A guy who eats dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says they should just swim in untreated sewage water instead. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Also because the media and society writ large shrugged and decided that believing the Clintons murder babies and suck adrenochrome out of their prepubescent bodies was like fiscal policy, a basic political disagreement

Unrelated fact the Book of Mormon *has* been translated into Hebrew but it’s very difficult to find a PDF of it (and I’m pretty sure they don’t print it) so upstart BYU students don’t go proselytizing and get the Jerusalem Center shut down. My Hebrew professor showed me it one time.

My next best bet would probably be the viaduct on Going Street but I think the side closest to the yard doesn’t have a sidewalk.

This is part of an ongoing effort I like to call β€œhow close can I get to Albina without trespassing and without getting hit by cars?” Perhaps the best view would be from the Fremont Bridge but I-405 is not exactly pedestrian friendly.

Albina Yard is Union Pacific’s classification yard in Portland, OR, and a major hub for the Big Yellow. Here we see UP 1962 on the point of a RCL (remote control locomotive) job, sorting cars while locomotives a few tracks over sit at the fuel racks to get ready for another assignment.

>story about how a new measure has made transit better for everyone

But have you considered the feelings of the I-Should-Be-Allowed-To-Freebase-And-Jack-Off-On-Public-Transit Caucus?

I also don't love Jewish people pointing out blatant antisemitism and gentiles:
1. Responding with yet more blatant antisemitism
2. Bringing up Israel when Israel wasn't mentioned
3. Demanding proof of it being a trend
4. Downplaying it (i.e. "That account is a grifter, not a REAL liberal/leftist")

there is a profound and cruel irony about how this administration, which is treated the like One True Avatar of the American Volk, is staffed entirely by the most fucked up weirdos you can find

BYU has had a progressive streak among the students that the university and the Mormon Church that owns it have tried very hard to tamp down over the years

the allegation is that Thomas raped a 4 year old as part of a scheme involving the FBI, CIA, and the mafia. Anita Hill’s testimony makes you think that happened?

there are in fact extremely graphic allegations against Thomas in the files BUT they’re contained within an extremely weird, rambling email that does not seem reliable

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was β€œinvolved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

Cult of the Lamb update: in my hubris I accepted a dissenter into my camp to try and reeducate them but I didn’t do it fast enough and didn’t have a prison so they wound up getting angry and leaving and stealing all my gold
