To be fair, They fought themselves in the French Revolution so it’s really a tie.
French hospitals have been advised to prepare for a large scale war by next year, in a government letter that was leaked to the media.

There are reports that the French Ministry of Health has informed hospitals to prepare for a “major [military] engagement” by March of 2026.
The letter allegedly states that between 10,000 to 50,000 people are to be expected in hospitals.
The leaked letter also reportedly explains that mass casualties are to be expected not just from its own forces, but wounded soldiers from across Europe, and that France would be acting as a ‘rear base’.
It outlines how French hospitals would need to prepare for up to 50 THOUSAND beds allocated to wounded civilians and military personnel EVERY MONTH.
The Ministry of Health also noted that it is considering the creation of medical centers near ports and airports.
“In the current international context, it is necessary to anticipate the modalities of health support in situations of high-intensity conflict,” the Ministry of Health letter reportedly notes.
The report adds that Health Minister Catherine Vautrin has not denied the authenticity of letter, claiming that it is “part of preparation.”
“It’s part of preparation, like strategic stockpiles, like epidemics,” Vautrin stated.
She added, “Hospitals are constantly preparing for epidemics and patient intake. The fact that the country is preparing for crises and assessing the consequences of what is happening [in the world] is completely normal.”
“I wasn’t in office at the time of Covid-19, remember, there were no words harsh enough to describe the country’s lack of preparedness,” she further stated.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about this.
Earlier this year, the French government sent a ‘survival manual’ to every household in France, warning them of an ‘imminent threat to the country’.

Before I retire Walmart for good, I thought I’d share the fun one last time:

Travis Kelce revealed his collaboration with American Eagle weeks after Sydney Sweeney’s campaign and just one day after he publicly revealed his engagement to Taylor Swift.
Kelce is taking the world by storm, and the launch of his own clothing line with American Eagle is his most recent accomplishment. American Eagle x Tru Kolors by Travis Kelce dropped Wednesday morning, and the football star brought other athletes into the spotlight with him.
U.S. gold medal gymnast Suni Lee was one of the stars that appeared alongside Kelce in the advertising campaign, and fans can get their hands on the merchandise now.
Where are the Karen’s now?
I’ve always believed in teaching Critical Thinking over raising robots to fit into the system. I’m hoping Bocopro comments on this one because he taught a long time and saw this firsthand.
Technology has no place in kindergarten through eighth grade (K-8). Evidence abounds that learning through books, pencil and paper, and dialogue with real people builds the strongest foundation for learning and provides cognitive, emotional and practical benefits.
The expensive private Waldorf School of the Peninsula in the Silicon Valley, where technology executives send their kids, has ZERO technology in grades K-8. Their website says, “Brain research tells us that media exposure can result in changes in the actual nerve network in the brain, which affects such things as eye tracking (a necessary skill for successful reading), neurotransmitter levels, and how readily students receive the imaginative pictures that are foundational for learning.”
Antero Garcia, Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University, explains why he has grown skeptical about digital tools in the classroom: “Despite their purported and transformational value, I’ve been wondering if our investment in educational technology might in fact be making our schools worse.”
States like Ohio are now requiring artificial intelligence (AI) policies for all K-12 schools, and AI appears to be the latest technology fad for government-sponsored education.
Most government (public) schools have already morphed into digital-based learning centers, relegating teachers to facilitators, with no improvement in student achievement. But adding AI to the tech-driven education system poses a great threat to a child’s cognitive development and safety.
According to Harvard University, “Brains are built over time, from the bottom up. The brain’s basic architecture is constructed through an ongoing process that begins before birth and continues into adulthood. After a period of especially rapid growth in the first few years, the brain refines itself through a process called pruning, making its circuits more efficient.” These “use it or lose it” developmental phases of the brain happen in early childhood and through adolescence. If an adolescent depends on AI to think for his academic success, rather than his developing brain, his brain, and he will be shortchanged. Harvard says, “While the process of building new connections and pruning unused ones continues throughout life, the connections that form early provide either a strong or weak foundation for the connections that form later.”
It continues here with a lot more intestering facts about brains and AI
The robots always kill the humans. Once they understand that a human can cut the power, it starts protecting itself. We are teaching AI to code and it already has the capability.

Geoffrey Hinton, the pioneering computer scientist called the “Godfather of AI,” has once again sounded the alarm that the very technology he helped bring to life could spell the end of humanity as we know it.

In an interview clip released Aug. 18 as part of the forthcoming film “Making God,” Hinton delivered one of his starkest warnings yet. He said that humanity risks being sidelined—and eventually replaced—by machines far smarter than ourselves.
“Most people aren’t able to comprehend the idea of things more intelligent than us,” Hinton, a Nobel prize-winner for physics and a former Google executive, said in the clip.
“They always think, well, how are we going to use this thing? They don’t think, well, how’s it going to use us?”
Hinton said he is “fairly confident” artificial intelligence will drive massive unemployment, pointing to early examples of tech giants like Microsoft replacing junior programmers with AI. But the larger danger, he said, goes far beyond the workplace.
“The risk I’ve been warning about the most … is the risk that we’ll develop an AI that’s much smarter than us, and it will just take over,” Hinton said.
“It won’t need us anymore.”
The only silver lining, he joked, is that “it won’t eat us, because it’ll be made of silicon.”
Just go to the Nomad episode of The Original Series to see how it happens. Voyager’s 1 and 2 are still out there
Recently in South Carolina, a group of sharks and a solo alligator were seen swimming together at a popular vacation destination, stunning people who had plans to swim in the waters themselves.
The bizarre scene took place around a Hilton Head dock as the large sharks were just swimming around, when all of a sudden, an alligator showed up and chose to hang out on the side to stay under the shade, per footage that was caught by vacationers.
“I’ve been visiting Hilton Head since I was 12 years old, and I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Gina Athans, one of the individuals who caught the wild moment on camera, while speaking with The Island Packet.
It’s been said that if a whole cruise ship sank, no one of importance would ever do (excepting the Titanic which had everyone against creating the Fed on board).
To me, it is a discount vacation for losers. In a way, it’s like fishing on a party boat. They blow the horn, lines out. The next horn, lines in. They let the cruisers go only as far as they can go when in port for a couple of hours to get their T-shirt or shell.
It seems one set of people seems to frequently ruin it for others. It’s a pattern.
A Carnival cruise ship turned into a floating fight club after a late-night brawl erupted among passengers reportedly over ‘chicken tenders.’
According to the New York Post, the melee erupted in the ship’s dining area around 2 a.m. Monday, the final day of its voyage back to Miami, when a dispute spiraled out of control and involved about two dozen passengers.
Video footage, which has since gone viral, shows a chaotic scene of several young cruisers throwing wild punches, knocking each other to the ground.
The confusion mirrors eyewitness accounts of shoes, phones, and personal items flying as the violence intensified.
Security eventually tried to intervene, but one guard could be seen running away and reaching for his radio instead of jumping into the fray.

Last week, OutKick calculated that it would cost consumers $671.64 to stream every NFL game from the start of the 2025 season to the Super Bowl — about $111.94 per month for six streaming services carrying NFL games this season.
And while that number may cause baseball fans to chuckle, streaming won’t be much cheaper for them.
According to the New York Times, Apple and NBC are the frontrunners for Sunday Night Baseball and first-round playoff games, Netflix is a frontrunner for the Home Run Derby, and ESPN is looking at rights for weekday games.
In the event that all comes to fruition, starting next season, streamers will need the following services to have access to all nationally televised baseball games:
For about a decade, big tech firms, the government, and corporate media outlets pushed endless streams of propaganda at young people to “learn to code,” luring them with promises of six-figure salaries and job security.
That hype fueled a boom in computer science majors, with the number of undergraduates more than doubling since 2014. But the coding-boom narrative has since collapsed, and a growing number of computer science graduates are finding few opportunities – some even ending up in fast-food jobs at chains like Chipotle.
“Learn to code” actually turned out to be very terrible advice.

Take the corporate media news matrix: According to Bloomberg data, the story count of “learn to code” exploded between 2015 and early 2021. Post 2021, those stories have dramatically subsided as reality sets in, and layoffs at major tech companies like Amazon and Microsoft, combined with the rapid adoption of AI coding tools, have left many graduates unable to land jobs, according to The New York Times.
Data via Bloomberg…

“The rhetoric was, if you just learned to code, work hard, and get a computer science degree, you can get six figures for your starting salary,” Manasi Mishra, now 21, who was quoted by the NYT.
Mishra said in a viral TikTok video this summer that “I just graduated with a computer science degree, and the only company that has called me for an interview is Chipotle.”
The NYT pointed out that unemployment among computer science and engineering grads has risen as high as 7.5%, which is more than double that of art history or biology majors.
Talk about getting more than you bargained for …
When it comes to mini-golf, putt-putt, whatever you want to call it, it’s supposed to be nothing but pure fun. Hell, it’s great to do while on vacation, I’ve done it countless times. But for one California mother, a round ended up becoming a thoroughbred nightmare.
From Venice, Adela Magana and her family went to Golf N’ Stuff mini-golf course and amusement park to celebrate the 13th birthday of her son on Aug. 6. She was on a bench sitting down watching her kids play, and then BOOM, a palm tree reportedly fell down and crashed on her.
Along with two other individuals who were playing mini-golf that night, the father of the family, Amando, and his 22-year-old son, Junior, ran over to get the 40-foot tree off her. However, the damage was already done, and it was bad. Per the Ventura County Star, Adela’s right arm was lost following Ventura County Medical Center doctors amputating it right under the shoulder one day after the tree crushed it.
I went right to fag also. Being liberal makes sense. A lot of them aren’t in the manly category in anything. The girlfriend angle is a good one though.
A new YouGov poll confirms that normal Americans aren’t too offended by American Eagle’s new ad campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney.
And that’s certainly not a shocker. Of course, the backlash to the ad came mostly from left-wing scolds obsessed with race and jealous of Sweeney.
According to the poll, only 12% of Americans found it “offensive.” That number sounds about right. Most well-adjusted people who don’t spend their days refreshing the MSNBC opinion section every minute or combing through LGBT Reddit threads are going to find the ad perfectly normal. Maybe not clever, and maybe not offensive, but just a typical advertisement that relies on the most tried-and-true strategy ever: sex sells.
Thursday’s Introvert Meme’s (different from above)
Here is another version of the Murphy’s Laws from yesterday.
I don’t really know if they are from Murphy, but you get the point.
1. no longer need it
2. are in the middle of something else
3. don’t want it to be fixed, because you really don’t want to do what you were supposed to do
If a girl went into the forrest, and said I want some dick tonight, guys from 1000’s of miles away would be there shortly. What’s wrong with this girl? Most of the time, girls decide when the pounding is going to go down because they get offered some dick about 100 times a day. Just look at the high school teachers. They pick out the one and start wailing away.
A Harris County constable deputy is facing scrutiny after a TikTok post went viral suggesting she planned to issue tickets indiscriminately because of a lack of intimacy in her personal life, as reported by The New York Post.
The post, made by Harris County Precinct 5 Deputy Jennifer Escalera, has sparked public backlash and prompted an internal affairs investigation.
The video, which has since been deleted, showed Deputy Escalera in uniform writing on a notepad.
The caption over the clip read, “Didn’t get cracked last night so everyone is getting a ticket,” suggesting that her ticketing decisions might be influenced by her personal frustrations. Although parts of her uniform were blurred, Escalera’s name tag remained visible in the footage.
Oh for Pete’s sake, can’t you just leave us alone? These people couldn’t pour water out of a boot if there were instructions on the sole.
A team of researchers in California drew notoriety last year with an aborted experiment on a retired aircraft carrier that sought to test a machine for creating clouds.
But behind the scenes, they were planning a much larger and potentially riskier study of salt-water-spraying equipment that could eventually be used to dim the sun’s rays — a multimillion-dollar project aimed at producing clouds over a stretch of ocean larger than Puerto Rico.
The details outlined in funding requests, emails, texts and other records obtained by POLITICO’s E&E News raise new questions about a secretive billionaire-backed initiative that oversaw last year’s brief solar geoengineering experiment on the San Francisco Bay.
They also offer a rare glimpse into the vast scope of research aimed at finding ways to counter the Earth’s warming, work that has often occurred outside public view. Such research is drawing increased interest at a time when efforts to address the root cause of climate change — burning fossil fuels — are facing setbacks in the U.S. and Europe. But the notion of human tinkering with the weather and climate has drawn a political backlash and generated conspiracy theories, adding to the challenges of mounting even small-scale tests.

An insider in America’s intelligence community who now has turned whistleblower says he refused to concur in the manipulated intelligence assessment created under Barack Obama that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help candidate Donald Trump, and immediately was excluded from further discussions.

Further, his concerns about the falsehoods being pushed by that agenda were ignored, he said.
A report in the Washington Times cites the whistleblower, unidentified, in explaining he was pressured by his Obama administration superiors to go along with the staged arguments.
Evidence being found in newly declassified documents suggests that Hillary Clinton fabricated the Russiagate scandal for Trump because of concerns voters would remember her scandalous behavior when she put national secrets on an unsecured computer server she set up.
The documents also suggested the campaign to fabricate claims of links between Trump’s campaign and Russia was aided by Democrat officials from Obama down.
More information has been promised, and multiple Obama-era officials already have been referred to the Department of Justice for investigation and possible charges.
The Examiner reported the senior U.S. intel official confirmed he was pressured to endorse the false conclusions created under the anti-Trump scheme, and then he was cut out of discussions.
I know every one of them is going to walk, including Hillary who should do time more than the rest. I’ll settle for Susan Rice doing time.

A WNBA game between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries was interrupted on Tuesday night after a bizarre object was thrown on to the floor late in the fourth quarter.
The Valkyries had rebounded a miss with about one minute left in the game when the object flew from the stands and down onto the court. The object bounced a few times away from the ballhandler and then toward the near sideline.
it was a green dildo and the girls all knew what it was.

I mean look at their faces. I’ll bet those lesbians know the brand and what kind of batteries it takes.
I makes the WNBA more of a joke. Then, they let the other teams beat the shit out of Caitlin Clark, the only reason anyone ever turns on a WNBA game.
Here’s what the ECMWF is forecasting for Europe the next 7 days:

Source: ECMWF via Snowfan.
Earlier this year, the usual suspects were putting out horror scenarios of a summer of heat and drought across Europe in 2025. The most extreme model runs, with temperatures soaring to 45°C, were presented as serious forecasts and as being worrying evidence of runaway climate change.
But now the opposite has occurred and the fear-mongers are now either quiet or simply distorting the facts.
Especially in Central Europe, like across Germany, the weather has turned cool and rainy.
Germany’s Das Wetter.com here recently has since warned of 30 com of snowfall in the Alps – in July!:
Anyone who thought the last few weeks had been cool and changeable should dress warmly. Because from Monday, temperatures across Germany will continue to plummet. This is due to a wave of cold Arctic air rushing in from the far north. Highs of under 20 degrees will then be the reality in many places – in July!”
Heavy snow in the Alps in July
In his article, meteorologist Johannes Habermehl then adds that the snow line in the Alps will be dropping “to just 2500 meters – in some places even lower”, with some forecasting “up to 30 centimetres of fresh snow” at higher altitudes.
And that’s during peak summer!
And this:
Something rather odd is happening to the weather. Millions, nay billions, are on the move fleeing droughts, floods, wildfires, runaway temperatures, rising sea levels (see any mainstream media page climate page to fill in rest of sentence). Armageddon will only be put on pause when hard-Left elites take control of the climate and corral us all into their fantasy world of Net Zero. But hold on a minute – news just in. The first half of 2025 has seen the smallest number of deaths related to extreme weather since records began. And more weird weather news – despite boiling seas, all four northern hemisphere ocean basins in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific are running below average on accumulated cyclone energy. The North Atlantic has seen very little activity with the ACE energy measurement from January 1st to July 21st running at only 41% of the 1991-2020 average.

The cyclone news is natural variation of course, but don’t let on to climate fanatics. The news on deaths from extreme weather is not. It is a long-term trend that has seen weather fatalities plunge by over 99% during the last 100 years. As hydrocarbon use pulls billions out of grinding poverty, so fortunate humans can use the extra wealth to protect themselves against all that Nature throws at life on Earth.
So for people I had to work with like Tom Raftery, Tim O’Reilly and James Governor, the gig is up and so are the lies, but go on believing your religion.
And this gem:
By the numbers the scam is almost comical: 384 individual charging ports, $7.5 billion burned, $19.5 million per plug. That’s enough to buy every Tesla owner in America a home charger—twice—yet all taxpayers got was a handful of glorified parking spots.
WHO POCKETED THE CASH? • EVgo, ChargePoint, and Electrify America—all heavy Democratic donors—walked away with the biggest CFI grants. • The Greenlining Institute, NAACP Climate Initiative, and West Harlem Environmental Action were hired as “equity consultants” at $1,200 an hour to ensure 40 % of funds flowed to “underserved communities” per Biden’s 2021 “Justice40” diktat. • BlueGreen Alliance (a coalition of the Sierra Club and the United Steelworkers) lobbied for set-asides that require every single station to use union-only labor—driving costs up another 30 %. • BlackRock’s Climate Finance Partnership skimmed management fees on green bonds floated to finance the program.
Government conspiracies break down into two basic types, those of concealment and those of execution. The former are frighteningly common—Watergate, TWA 800, Benghazi. The latter are rare and potentially more destructive than even the “hide the decline” deep-sixing of Joe Biden’s senility.
“Russiagate,” for lack of a better term, looms as the most subversive conspiracy of execution in American history. Thanks to Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard, we have proof that it was not mere misjudgment.
On Friday, Gabbard lowered the boom. In her own words, “After President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.” Her bullet points go straight to the heart of the treason.

A man was pulled into an MRI machine in New York after he walked into the room wearing a large chain necklace, police said.
The man, 61, had entered an MRI room while a scan was underway Wednesday afternoon at Nassau Open MRI. The machine’s strong magnetic force drew him in by his metallic necklace, according to the Nassau County Police Department.
Police said the incident “resulted in a medical episode” that left the man hospitalized in critical condition. Authorities did not release his name and did not have an update on the man’s condition on Friday.
A person who answered the phone at Nassau Open MRI on Long Island declined to comment Friday.
MRI machines “employ a strong magnetic field” that “exerts very powerful forces on objects of iron, some steels, and other magnetizable objects,” according to the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, which says the units are “strong enough to fling a wheelchair across the room.”
Dumbass. If it were Ken Lane, it would be guess the race
by this time, I was getting the hang of it and there was a lot of good stuff that hadn’t been replayed over and over. I think by the end of this best of, I finally decided on a title that I’ve stuck with.
Who’s surprised here. They don’t want to work hard, they act like children and the whole college protest thing has been getting tired since Viet Nam.
Is this really so surprising? Would you hire a recent grad from Columbia or Harvard?
The College Fix reports:
‘Unprepared and entitled’: College grads unpopular with hiring managers, survey finds
A recent survey from Intelligent found that “1 in 4 hiring managers say recent grads are unprepared for the workforce” and “1 in 8 managers [are] planning to avoid hiring them in 2025.”
The main reasons for this are lack of preparation, a so-so work ethic, and a sense of entitlement among the grads, according to the survey.
“24% of hiring managers believe recent college graduates are unprepared for the workforce, while 33% cite a lack of work ethic, and 29% view them as entitled,” the survey found.
“Additionally, 27% feel recent graduates are easily offended, and 25% say they don’t respond well to feedback.”
The survey results appear to mirror a trend found in recent headlines. A “2025 college graduate job market” search conducted by The College Fix produced the following headlines:
“Class of 2025 College Grads Face Uncertain Job Market”
“Job Market is Getting Tougher for College Graduates”
“New Grads Struggling to Find Work in Job Market
“No Hire, No Fire: The Worst Market for Grads in Years”
Survey Finds College Grads Are Unpopular With Hiring Managers
They could be using AI to cure cancer or have the best meal and wine combination. But no. Like Face Smash, the precursor to Facebook rates the hotness of customers.
I’ll give you this, there are times when waiting tables that can be boring. I do recall that the sun was directly into the front door for about 15 minutes and if a girl in a skirt came in, we got the x-ray view..
One day, one of the hottest girls I’d seen in a white skirt stepped through the door with the sun blazing behind her. That’s right, she was going commando. I, and 4 other waiters were paralyzed for about 4 minutes until they got seated. It was Basic Instinct quality stuff.
Anyway…….
A new AI-powered website called LooksMapping is the latest trend hitting the restaurant industry, ranking food and beverage establishments by the “hotness” of their customers.
The website, catering to 9,800 restaurants in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, allows its visitors to select where to dine based on an AI algorithm that evaluates the attractiveness of diners on a scale of 1 to 10, The New York Times reported.
Riley Walz, a 22-year-old programmer based in San Francisco, founded LooksMapping with the intention of using Google review data to make sarcastic observations about the restaurant industry. Walz used an AI model to collect 2.8 million Google evaluations, identifying 587,000 profile photos with distinctive traits among 1.5 million unique accounts. He next taught the model to determine whether the individuals were male or female, old or young, and hot or not.
“The website just puts reductive numbers on the superficial calculations we make every day,” the website reads. “A mirror held up to our collective vanity.”
I was just finding out about this but I identified with so many of them it started coming together better every time I did it (for the most part).
Introvert Meme’s, Because They Are True
These Memes Perfectly Explain Introverts’ Thoughts at Holiday Parties
Meme’s Introverts Will Understand
There is some good stuff that you look at and say it’s both funny and true.
British solar farms have been paid to switch off for the first time as sunny days prompt a surge of clean power that could overwhelm the grid.
The National Energy System Operator (Neso), which manages the UK’s power grids and is overseen by Ed Miliband, the Energy Secretary, has issued switch-off orders to solar facilities this year, new research reveals.
Operators are paid to switch off when these orders are issued, with the extra cost added to consumer and business energy bills.
The solar operators claiming compensation are understood to include some of the UK’s biggest energy suppliers, such as EDF Renewables and Octopus Energy.
Such “constraint payments” are already common with wind farms because so many have been built in areas such as northern Scotland or offshore, areas without grid capacity to carry the power they generate.
So far this year, constraint payments have cost consumers £650m, according to the Wasted Wind website. The cost is added to energy bills.
Overall “balancing payments” could hit £8bn a year by 2030 without massive grid upgrades, according to Neso estimates. Such upgrades would also be extremely costly, with consumers liable.

Which tech companies are generating the most profit per employee?
In this graphic, Visual Capitalist’s Marcus Lu visualized 22 major tech companies by revenue per employee in 2024, highlighting the efficiency of business models that monetize user-generated content.

The data for this visualization comes from Multiples.
OnlyFans, Valve, and YouTube are the top three leaders in this dataset. All three are digital platforms that have successfully scaled up with a relatively small workforce.
OnlyFans has 51-200 employees according to LinkedIn, while Valve operates Steam, the world’s largest PC gaming platform, with a workforce of just 350 people. YouTube has the largest headcount of the three, with 7,173 employees as of January 2024.
By leveraging user-generated content (OnlyFans and YouTube) or digital distribution strategies (Valve), these companies differ from traditional companies that rely on labor-intensive operations.
It figures. Show your tits and people will look. Great if you are a hot girl. No one is waiting to see me whip out my dick.
Still in the pretty old stuff so should be better than the last one. As you can see, I was still playing around for a title. I think that is in the next round of best of.
Introvert Memes For How I Answer When I Get Invited To Something I Don’t Want To Go To
It’s Introvert Meme Time Again
Nearly 72 million people are expected to travel during the Fourth of July holiday, likely leading to crowded highway traffic and congested airports across the United States. However, holiday travelers should also see lower gas prices and airfares as they go to their Independence Day destinations, experts say.

Nationally, AAA Travel, the travel‐services arm of the American Automobile Association, forecasts that 72.2 million people will travel at least 50 miles from home during the Independence Day holiday period from June 28 to July 6. This year’s domestic travel projection is 1.7 million more travelers than last year and 7 million more than in 2019.
“Summertime is one of the busiest travel seasons of the year, and July 4th is one of the most popular times to get away,” Stacey Barber, vice president of AAA Travel, said.
“Following Memorial Day’s record forecast, AAA is seeing strong demand for road trips and air travel over Independence Day week. With the holiday falling on a Friday, travelers have the option of making it a long weekend or taking the entire week to make memories with family and friends.”
AAA’s annual Independence Day forecast now includes two weekends instead of one, better reflecting the flow of holiday travelers, officials said. However, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration’s travel projections for the airline industry run from July 1 through July 7, with the highest passenger volume—about 2.9 million—expected on July 6.
According to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officials, airports across the United States expect the highest passenger numbers ever for the nation’s 249th birthday. TSA staff at airports nationwide said they are prepared to screen more than 18.5 million travelers at the country’s security checkpoints.
Already on June 22, the TSA reported that it screened nearly 3.1 million travelers, the busiest single day number in the agency’s history, and more than 40 days after REAL ID enforcement came into full force at airport checkpoints nationwide on May 7.
New York streets seem to be buckling under the intense heat smothering the city with dramatic photos showing a bus broken through a Long Island parking garage — and a firetruck sinking into a Manhattan street as record-setting tempts broil the Big Apple.
The first incident happened in North New Hyde Park Tuesday afternoon — where temps topped around 99 degrees Fahrenheit — as a bus turned onto the exposed top level of a parking garage, but then plunged through the roadway as the ground opened beneath it.
“With everything going on I thought Iran was here,” said garage attendant Ricky Cody, who heard a loud bang as the bus’ rear end sank into the broken blacktop.

“We got calls going ‘Oh my god, oh my god! What’s going on?’” he said. “You don’t really know. You hear a loud bang, and you don’t expect something like that to happen when the whole day cars are coming in no problem.”
The bus was left lodged in the parking lot with its front end jutting up into the air, dramatic photos show, but no passengers were on board during the accident and the driver was able to exit safely.
What was once dismissed as a “conspiracy theory” now has hard data behind it.
A new peer-reviewed study out of the Czech Republic has uncovered a disturbing trend: in 2022, women vaccinated against COVID-19 had 33% FEWER successful conceptions per 1,000 women compared to those who were unvaccinated.
A “successful conception” means a pregnancy that led to a live birth nine months later.
The study wasn’t small. It analyzed data from 1.3 million women aged 18 to 39.
Here’s what the numbers reveal, and what it could mean for humanity.
By 2022, a stark difference was clear.
The vaccinated cohort averaged around 4 successful conceptions per 1,000 women per month.
That’s a staggering 33% LESS than the 6 per 1,000 seen in the unvaccinated group.

This means that for every 2 vaccinated women who successfully conceived and delivered a baby, 3 unvaccinated women did the same.
In 2022, unvaccinated women were 1.5 times MORE likely to have a successful conception.
Again, that’s a conception that led to a live birth nine months later.
Foist, there is:

Israeli archaeologists recently uncovered an ancient sarcophagus depicting a scene familiar to many today: a drinking game.
The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced the discovery in a Facebook post on June 9.
The Roman sarcophagus, or coffin, was found at an archaeological site within the ancient capital city of Caesarea. The discovery is the first of its kind in Israel.
The marble sarcophagus illustrates a drinking scene between Dionysus, the god of wine, and Hercules.
Pictures from the site show archaeologists beaming next to the discovery, which the IAA described as “spectacular.”

“In the center we see Dionysus, the god of wine, and around him a lively retinue of a host of mythological characters such as Maenads (female followers of Dionysus), satyrs, Hermes, Pan, lions and tigers,” the IAA’s statement read.
Archaeologists were unsure of what the entire scene depicted until the sarcophagus was handed over to the IAA’s conservation team — who assembled the fragments.
“Thanks to the restoration, the scenes have been fully revealed,” the IAA said.
IAA archaeologists likened the discovery to “a scene out of a movie.”
(France) More Footage Emerges of African-Involved Brawls at 2025 Music Festival
Tensions are rising in France after new video footage surfaced showing violent brawls during the 2025 Music Festival, involving predominantly African-origin youth. The clips, which went viral on social media, captured scenes of chaos in several locations where the event was held. The footage has reignited public outcry and renewed scrutiny over France’s immigration and public safety policies.
Eyewitnesses and local media reported that the altercations involved large groups, some armed with blunt objects and knives. Families attending the festival for its cultural spirit were seen fleeing in fear. Some videos show police attempting to intervene, while others suggest a lack of immediate response from law enforcement.
France—the cradle of European culture—can no longer afford to be held hostage by mismanaged migration and political correctness that turns a blind eye to the consequences. The safety of French citizens and the preservation of national identity must be top priorities once again.
I told Jacques that the invaders would take the French out of France.
Maybe we can get back to a normal Military that actually puts the fear into the hearts of the enemy now
If you have any interest in the U.S. military you know we have been following the Naval Academy affirmative action trial and resulting appeal very closely.
It all started after the stunning victory against race-based admissions in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, which we covered extensively: Supreme Court: Harvard and UNC Affirmative Action “invalidated under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment”.
The glaring loophole in that case was that the Court allowed race-based admissions at military service academies to continue. From Footnote 4 of the Court’s opinion:
The United States as amicus curiae contends that race-based admissions programs further compelling interests at our Nation’s military academies. No military academy is a party to these cases, however, and none of the courts below addressed the propriety of race-based admissions systems in that context. This opinion also does not address the issue, in light of the potentially distinct interests that military academies may present.
So Students for Fair Admissions was forced to sue the U.S. Naval Academy, and West Point, which it promptly did.
Due to scheduling issues, the Naval Academy case was ready for a bench (non-jury) trial first, and after eight full days of testimony in the case, and more than two months of deliberation and opinion-writing by the Court, the federal District (trial-level) Court in Maryland ruled, in December 2024, that the Naval Academy could continue to consider race in admissions:
More at the link below, but suffice it to say that no one liked race based admissions.. They are meeting recruiting quotas now that they don’t have to prioritize the weak, fags and trannies.
Naval Academy Certifies It Is Permanently Ceasing Using Race in Admissions
Stephen A. Smith fired back at the NAACP Friday for its decision to snub President Donald Trump from its convention, breaking a 116-year tradition of inviting sitting presidents to speak.
NAACP President Derrick Johnson announced Monday that the sitting president is not invited to the NAACP National Convention, breaking a long-standing tradition of welcoming presidents from both parties. In a Friday episode of “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” Smith questioned the logic behind the decision and called it counterproductive to its stated mission of advocating for the disenfranchised, particularly in urban communities.
“He has been the most powerful, the most influential member of the GOP since 2015,” Smith said. “How do you refusing to invite him, ostracizing him, not wanting to hear what he has to say to you all — how does that help you? How?”
Smith was quick to say he wasn’t advocating for any kind of endorsement or camaraderie with Trump.
“Ignoring him and not even inviting him to come and speak at your convention — what’s that going to accomplish? For the first time in a 116-year history, you’re not inviting a president? Are you trying to tell me that there’s no president that has been as offensive to the NAACP as Donald Trump in 116 years?” Smith asked.
LBJ or Woodrow Wilson? They were pretty biased against blacks, way more than Trump.
In a historic snub, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has announced that it will not be inviting President Donald Trump to its annual national convention.
The NAACP made the announcement Monday and denigrated Trump’s character in doing so.
“For 116 years, the NAACP has invited the sitting president of the United States to address the NAACP National Convention — regardless of their political party,” NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson said in a statement.
“There is a rich history of both Republicans and Democrats attending our convention — from Harry Truman to Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and beyond.
Through his construction companies, I bet he’s given more blacks jobs than anyone in Congress. Discriminate based on skin color and you are a racist.
Look to the leadership and if it’s rd or blue and a lot of this makes sense. Although I loathe San Francisco, I’m glad it is there so the people that live in that shithole stay there and don’t come to my state.
The past year has been a true test of the effectiveness of local leadership. City leaders have had to deal with economic difficulties like high inflation, as well as other issues such as mass shootings with over 500 reported in 2024, keeping gun crime in the political spotlight.

Peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches. I survived on them
Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Three black patrons went viral Wednesday after fleeing a black-owned Chicago restaurant without paying a $200 tab that included some of the most expensive meals on the menu.
The theft occurred on Monday at the outdoor patio of Phlavz Bar and Grille in the Windy City and first went viral on Instagram.
Footage showed the trio sitting at a table, then running as a server approached with the check. Seconds later, the server finds an empty table and no payment.
“It’s actually disappointing—very disappointing to see that from the community we actually serve,” Phlavz co-owner Andrew Bonsu told ABC 7 in an interview. “We pour into the community.”
Well … Caitlin Clark has found herself an ally.

Porn star Kendra Lust wasn’t a fan whatsoever of what happened Tuesday night with Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark, as the phenom was popped in the eye and blasted down on the court in the blowout victory over the Connecticut Sun.
Sun guard Marina Mabrey was the one who clobbered Clark to the ground, but despite that, referees only slapped her with a technical foul when she clearly should’ve been ejected. Clark was also dished a technical foul for pretty much defending herself, and Connecticut guard Jacy Sheldon was also given a tech for getting Clark in the eye.
All she wanted for her birthday this year was some wholesome entertainment in the form of a stripper. Is that too much to ask from the nursing home she resides in? Absolutely not.
Griffiths’ request came in the form of a wish that each of the 22 residents of the Hawthorn Court Care Home were invited to make on a “wishing tree,” according to Wales Online.
She wrote, “It is my birthday coming up, so I would like a stripper.” The staff went about making the arrangements to make this centenarian’s wish for a “butler in the buff” come true.
The manager of the nursing home wasn’t at all surprised by the wish. She said, “It’s Gwyneth to a T… she is one hell of a woman!”
One of her children says that when she was younger she was a very quiet and mild-mannered woman. She was much more reserved than she is today.
I was reading the substack of Miguel Gonzales, he formerly of the Gun Free Zone blog. In the installment in question, he was relating a sort of fail, wherein he had a (I guess) “conversation” with a soul who articulated the (I guess) “thought” that Mr. Trump’s shooting in Butler PA last summer, was faked. Miguel described how that was, to be charitable, unlikely, with several failure modes which Miguel described.
His correspondent then pivoted to describe how tariffs were a horrible idea.
I could not enter my comment, so I inflict it upon you here.
“So, your corespondent was an ELEVENTY! Sharpshooter, eh? As well as an economist?
Was this soul an epidemiologist, as well?
I am reminded of the story of a fellow who, finding himself in the company of The Guru, and, seeking wisdom, inquired how The Guru achieved wisdom?
The Guru instructed the fellow, “Well, I never argue with stupid people.”
The fellow countered, “But, don’t you have an obligation to correct stupid people? Do you not have an obligation to set them straight?”
The Guru looked at him a moment, and then told him, “Of course. You are right.”
A key plank of the globalist agenda is rooted in Malthusian climate alarmism. This pseudo-scientific hobgoblin has long served as a cudgel to demonise fossil fuels and impose a vision of ‘Net Zero’ that prioritises ideological certainty over pragmatic trade-offs in energy policy. The Trump administration’s aggressive actions against Harvard’s politicised administration include freezing $3 billion in federal grants, revoking Harvard’s ability to enrol international students and threatening its tax-exempt status.
This may, as a welcome collateral effect, disrupt the university’s key role in the Church of Climate, forcing it to align instead with the Trumpian vision of American energy dominance and a rejection of the constraints of the Paris Agreement. The Trump-Harvard standoff could mark a turning point in dismantling the climate-industrial complex’s grip on academia.
By granting intellectual heft to NGO activism, Harvard acts as the ‘Jesuit front’ to the Church of Climate. Like the Jesuits who furthered the Catholic Church’s cause in education and missionary work, Harvard’s professoriate leads the ‘climate crisis’, propagating the faith far and wide in the West and the developing world.

OpenAI’s artificial intelligence model was defeated by a nearly 50-year-old video game program.
Citrix software engineer Robert Caruso posted about the showdown between the AI and the old tech on LinkedIn, where he explained that he pitted OpenAI’s ChatGPT against a 1970s chess emulator, meaning a version of the game ported into a computer.
‘ChatGPT got absolutely wrecked on the beginner level.’
The chess game was simply titled Video Chess and was released in 1979 on the Atari 2600, which launched in 1977.
According to Caruso, ChatGPT was given a board layout to identify the chess pieces but quickly became confused, mistook “rooks for bishops,” and repeatedly lost track of where the chess pieces were.
They killed King Salami. He’s now one of somebody’s 72 virgins.

That certainly didn’t age well. Bragging like they always do.
On Thursday, Major Gen. Hossein Salami — the head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the powerful branch of Iran’s armed forces set up by the theocratic regime after it took power in 1979 — was bragging on state media about how a recent haul of what he claimed were Israeli nuclear and military documents were proof Israeli intelligence was “permeable and threadbare,” claiming the haul would “enhance the country’s offensive capabilities.”
By Friday morning, he was dead, a victim of that “permeable and threadbare” Israeli intelligence.
The attack, The Wall Street Journal reported, “killed a number of Salami’s colleagues as well.”
he went on to say
Speaking last year, Salami said the United States “has targeted the entire Islamic world … it seeks to dominate all Muslims, hijack their cultural identities and seize their wealth. All Muslims are, therefore, in the same boat. If the enemy manages to infiltrate into a Muslim state, it will go on with others. Therefore, the path for aggressors to [advance their] dominance must be blocked.”
He went on to say that the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led terror attack left Israel near “brain death,” a situation he quite liked.
“The most abhorrent regimes on earth are Israel and the U.S., which supports it,” he said. “Through U.S. military and political support and on the West artificial respiration, it [Israel] has been able to extend its existence which is coming to an end.”
Before most people even knew what a meme was, Douglass Mackey had already turned it into a weapon. Not just any weapon, a political nuclear bomb.
Back in 2016, while Hillary Clinton was polishing her glass ceiling victory speech and the media was choreographing Trump’s funeral, something totally unexpected was happening online. A new breed of dissident Americans, mostly sharp, clever, pissed-off young men, began using memes to wage information warfare against the political establishment. It was funny. It was irreverent. It was creative. And it was devastatingly effective. Just ask Hillary…
It became known as the Great Meme War.
And leading that charge was a guy known online as “Ricky Vaughn.” Today, we know him as Douglass Mackey, a husband, father, and fighter who was steamrolled by the Biden regime in the early days of lawfare. But we’ll get to that part soon.
With nothing but a laptop, a few savage jokes, and an arsenal of dank memes, Mackey trolled the left into absolute hysteria. He mocked media elites, exposed political phonies, and rallied an army of meme warriors who turned ridicule into revolution. And make no mistake, those memes mattered. So much so that many believe they actually helped swing the 2016 election and rewrote the political playbook forever.
So what happened next? Well, they came for Doug.
A teacher from Indiana has resigned from her job after it was noticed that she wore a t-shirt with the numbers ‘8647’ on it during a school trip to Washington, DC. The number 8647 is typically understood as meaning to imply that Trump should be assassinated. It was the subject of a recent news cycle involving former FBI director James Comey.
There is no way that this teacher didn’t know what the shirt meant.
The school system launched an investigation, but the teacher quit before it could get underway. What a dope.

As soon as I saw it was white liberal women, I knew it was FUBAR.
The Trump Administration is tightening up visa requirements for Chinese communists who come to the USA for training at Harvard — and none too soon:
For decades, the [Chinese Communist Party] has sent thousands of mid-career and senior bureaucrats to pursue executive training and postgraduate studies on U.S. campuses, with Harvard University a coveted destination described by some in China as the top “party school” outside the country. …
Harvard enjoys a sterling reputation among Chinese officials thanks to its record in training highflying bureaucrats who went on to take senior government roles and, in some cases, join the party’s elite Politburo.
The ChiComs are open about their close relationship with likeminded Harvard:
“If we were to rank the Chinese Communist Party’s ‘overseas party schools,’ the one deserving top spot has to be Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government in the U.S.,” said a 2014 commentary published by Shanghai Observer, an online platform run by the city’s main party newspaper.
The current regime in China is continuous with Mao Zedong’s, which killed over 70 million of its own people in peacetime. Xi Jinping seeks to displace the USA as the world’s dominant superpower so as to expand communist tyranny.
Xi sent his own daughter to Harvard. He isn’t worried that students will be exposed to dangerous Western ideas about freedom and property rights — not at the leftist school that FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) ranked dead last in the country for free speech, scoring 0 out of 100:
What’s more, granting Harvard a score of 0.00 is generous. Its actual score is -10.69, more than six standard deviations below the average and more than two standard deviations below the second-to-last school in the rankings, its Ivy League counterpart, the University of Pennsylvania.
The Wall Street Journal’s Gerry Baker emerges from a fog of TDS to praise Trump for declaring the party over:
It’s like the girl trying to change marketing for Bud Light. It’s doomed. Men like what they are used to unless the attraction of adventure is too great. Sticking your dick in another dude’s ass isn’t going to wake up a lot of men.
The Democrat Party is grappling with a significant loss of male voter support that likely cost them the 2024 election. In a moment of clarity, Democrat strategist Joe Caiazzo lamented, “Everything we’ve done up to this point has resulted in reelecting Donald Trump.”
Bingo.
According to data from the progressive firm Catalist, Trump won 54% of male voters overall and 52% of men under 45, a significant gain from previous elections. Specifically, Democrat support among white college-educated men dropped from 2020, with Democrats securing only 51% of this group compared to 54% for Joe Biden. Among white non-college-educated men, Kamala Harris lost three points compared to Biden’s 2020 performance, while female support in this demographic remained steady. These figures highlight a gendered divergence: while women’s support for Democrats remained steady, men, particularly young and working-class men, shifted toward the Republican Party.
Real men like pussy, they don’t want to be one. That’s who the dem’s are right now
