95% of politicians fall into that category. They're all about power & control, satiating their immense arrogant egos, & padding their pockets with millions at the expense of their country & We The People.
Exactly, thank you, especially the doctors & nurses pimping their bioweapon poison jabs & boosters especially the ones murdering our children, those born & unborn!!
Observers note that this is the day before Super Tuesday and wonder how Trump’s multiple trials might affect his ability to campaign in the Republican primary. Well, the Iowa caucuses are on January 15, and at this rate it looks like Trump may have the nomination assured shortly thereafter. Within his party, he has more of the stature of an incumbent than a man who was already soundly defeated for the presidency in 2020.
Outside of the GOP bubble, how will these trials play? What uncertainties do they have in store? We don’t know. But we do know that we have a trial date, circled in red. March 4. It’s not March 15 — the Ides of March — but it is no less portentous.
Constitution: Ettu Donde?
Quite simply, Trump is a beard for racism, hate and other stupidity. This strongly fits the MO of fundamentalist religion, and at times of stress, all religion. QED
By Dan Rather We have a date. A date of destiny, accountability, and historic import. A date the wheels of justice roll forward for a former president accused of trying to destroy the constitutional order he was sworn to uphold.
Moment knife thugs armed with huge machetes brawl in street in front of crowds of revellers at Notting Hill carnival - with final day 'marred by violence' as eight are stabbed and police officer is sexually assaulted
Shocking photos show the moment Notting Hill revellers waved machetes around in the street. The photos emerged after police said eight people were stabbed at the carnival.
The Trump campaign posted an exposé titled “The Truth About Fani Willis,” which called the prosecutor “a Democrat activist,” which she clearly is, who came from a family “steeped in hate.” DA Willis ran on a Get Trump ticket. That's activism.
I called the claims adjuster at 10:45 yesterday morning- left my name, my son's name, both our cell #s, the insured party's policy #, date of loss, plus year, make and model of car. Asked for next steps and stated that my son was hurt and he needed to know their procedure and also we needed a rental car. I thought it would be easier for them to talk to both of us at once, since he was here.
They left to go back to Austin at 1800 yesterday. That was seven hours that adjuster had to call us.
I was pretty annoyed. This morning I called customer service at 0745 and asked for policy specifics and voiced my displeasure and not having my call returned. I asked for the adjuster's supervisor's name. The representative told me that notes on the account stated that they had tried to call my son several times but the line was disconnected.
I told them this was impossible-the number was probably written down incorrectly. It turned out that was the case. I corrected this; added emails too.
I told the representative that I was giving the adjuster until noon to return my call and then I'd move on to the supervisor. Then, instead of waiting for the call, just for shits and giggles, I called the adjuster again.
Voice mail. Of course!
I left my name again-and this time I said that I was pretty upset that my call wasn't returned promptly yesterday before close of business. That my car was sitting in an H.E.B parking lot at risk of theft. That my son was in pain and had no car.
I stated that I would give them until noon to give me a call back before I called their supervisor, and that I already had that number. And, if they weren't the adjuster assigned to the claim, please just be professional and return my call to point me in the right direction.
This was at 08:20. It took until 09:15 for me to get a call from the adjuster.
No pleasantries; just a curt, "Yes, I'm returning your call". Her tone was that of a collection agency, when you haven't paid your bill.
I asked what next steps were and she began to basically interrogate me. Was it my car? What was my address? Why was the car in Austin? Who was driving it? Oh, my son? And was he over 18?
I was floored. I asked about having the car towed. She told me that I needed to have it towed to a body shop and let her know where so she could send a guy to look at it and write an estimate. I asked her if she expected me to pay for the tow and she said, "That's how it works. You submit me the bill."
I said, no, you need to pay for the tow. That's not acceptable. Girlfriend tells me, well, that's not our process. And that's when it REALLY started to escalate.
Look, I was raised as a child in the hood. And, I moved here to Texas from right outside the hood. I speak fluent ebonics. I can do the chickenhead thing too. GF was coming at me like I was on welfare and she was was giving me my food stamps. Condescending and rude AF. And I know I was at least 20 years older than her, too.
We basically were talking over each other. Her telling me, "let me finish" and me saying, " you are not speaking to me in that tone or in this way. It is unacceptable." Finally I told her I had nothing more to say to her and I refused to work with her. And I terminated the call.
GF CALLED RIGHT BACK. I let it ring 5x before answering with, "Yes?"
No apologies for getting off on the wrong foot. Nope! "If you'd let me finish, I was trying to say" she started off.
The exact same conversation. Exact same ending with me terminating the connection.
I grabbed my paper with the customer service 800 number, intending to call them. But--my phone rang. It was GF AGAIN.
I swiped to decline GF's call. GF called me back immediately. She literally BLEW MY SHIT UP 11 times in a row!! I couldn't get to my keypad screen to call the customer service line!
I finally got my call in. While I was speaking to another representative, she called in another 8 times!
Ended up telling the customer service rep that I refused to work with this person, and wanted her off the claim. I also wanted to file a complaint.
They apologized and asked if I reached out to GF's supervisor. I responded that if she spoke to me like that she was very comfortable with that style of communication so I thought it likely that she took her cue from her boss. Because I'm certain that I'm not the first person she's addressed that way. I expected her supervisor to be similar!
They encouraged me to call and I offered a compromise. I asked them to have the supervisor call me, and let them know the situation. I was not in a mood to explain anymore. If it didn't go well, I was prepared to escalate even higher.
I got a call from the supervisor in 15 minutes.
I also got:
A list of bodyshops to call. A medical claims adjuster 's name and #. A collision estimator's name and #. Assurance they'd pay for the tow by having the body shop pick the car up.
In-between the tense screaming with the chickenhead claims adjuster, I had texted my son. I told him NOT to take any calls from her, in case she tried to work the claim through him since I declined all her attempts to contact.
She DID try to reach him. Which is funny, because she texted me as she was blowing his phone up. This is her text:
What's really pathetic about this:
1) she is TEXT YELLING at me. How is this a good customer service look? 2) Not one iota of an apology. 3) She lied.
@MCMLXVIIOTG @QuentelI guess they never cracked a history book and learned that the illegitimate Weimar government tried that and it just blew up in their face.
The EPA removes federal protections for most of the country's wetlands : NPR
Your SUPREMEly STUPID COURT at work.
The Environmental Protection Agency removed federal protections for a majority of the country's wetlands on Tuesday to comply with a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
The EPA and Department of the Army announced a final rule amending the definition of protected "waters of the United States" in light of the decision in Sackett v. EPA in May, which narrowed the scope of the Clean Water Act and the agency's power to regulate waterways and wetlands.
Developers and environmental groups have for decades argued about the scope of the 1972 Clean Water Act in protecting waterways and wetlands.
"While I am disappointed by the Supreme Court's decision in the Sackett case, EPA and Army have an obligation to apply this decision alongside our state co-regulators, Tribes, and partners," EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in a statement.
A 2006 Supreme Court decision determined that wetlands would be protected if they had a "significant nexus" to major waterways. This year's court decision undid that standard. The EPA's new rule "removes the significant nexus test from consideration when identifying tributaries and other waters as federally protected," the agency said.
Yıl 2005 Türkiye ile bir alakası olmayan John Perkins kitabında anlatıyor; "Kendi otomobilini üretemeyen ülkeye borç verip otobanlar yaptırırız. Sonra onlara arabalarımızı satarız. Sonra bankalarını satın alırız. O bankalardan halka ucuz krediler verip daha çok araba almalarını sağlarız. Böylece verdiğimiz o krediyi arabamızı satarak geri alırız, hem de faiziyle. O ülkeye dünya bankası ya da kardeş kurumlardan kredi ayarlarız. Ayarlanan kredi "ASLA" o ülkenin hazinesine gitmez. O ülkede 'proje' yapan bizim şirketlerimizin kasasına girer. Enerji santralleri, sanayi alanları, limanlar, dev havayolları yapılır. Aslında insanların işine yaramayan bir yığın beton. Bizim şirketlerimiz kazanır o ülkedeki birileri de nemalandırılır. Toplum bu düzenekten hiç birşey kazanmaz. Ama ülke büyük bir borcun altına sokulmuş olur. Bu o kadar büyük bir borçtur ki ödenmesi imkansızdır. Plan böyle işler. Sonunda ekonomik danışmanlar/tetikçiler olarak gider onlara deriz ki; "Bize büyük borcunuz var ödeyemiyorsunuz. O zaman petrolünüzü satın, doğal gazınızı bize verin, askeri üslerimize yer gösterin, askerlerinizi birliklerimize destek olmaları için savaştığımız bölgelere gönderin, Birleşmiş Millletler de bizim için oy verin! Elektrik su kanalizasyon sistemlerinizi özelleştirin! Onları Amerikan şirketlerine ya da diğer çok uluslu şirketlere satın..." Sosyal hizmetleri, teknik sistemleri, eğitim kurumlarını, sağlık kurumlarını hatta adli sistemleri ele geçiririz. Bu, ikili, üçlü, dörtlü bir darbeler serisidir."
Hehe, I don't want to be a pain with my new guitar (still not here), but this is actually one of the two albums I was sitting with, early 80's, guitar in hand, but not playing. "What's he actually doing there?" I was thinking and that was the moment I decided to forget everything I learned about bluesrock in guitar-lessons. From then, band-friend and me started to just put the fingers anywhere on the fretboard and be amazed how it sounds. No scales, no music theory, deliberately forget about any of the few classical skills we had learned so far.
I think Robert Smith became such an important and great musician because he never had "learned" it, making all the mistakes a guitar teacher in first lesson would have said "you must never do that", like playing only one string as long as possible and just sliding the finger up and down the board, arriving at melodies where a jazz professional might say "Hey that's mixolydian scale backwards with just a sprinkling from the subdominant of the counter-parallel, in caucasian tuning, it seems". But who actually cares. Basically that was punk for me. Just do it. Essential.
And hey, the guitar he played in the beginning, I heard he bought it at Woolworth. Just cheap crap: Could be the same model I got when I went to a music store asking for the cheapest thing they had because I just want to smash it on stage, lol. But they didn't have. Just by chance an "elderly" customer heard that (I was prob 17) and said "I have two rubbish guitars in the cellar, you can have them." Later he was known to have played some stuff on a guitar that was actually a 6-string bass, an antique Fender Bass IV, from the 60s presumably, continuing a trend that probably Tony Iommi had started for anatomical reasons: go into the deep.
That’s what they want but what we need is a Revolution not a civil war, us against them. Unfortunately us doesn’t include everyone which is very reminiscent of 1776.

theepochtimes.com/us/trump-cam… Excerpt Former President Donald Trump's campaign has released a brand new "summer blockbuster" political ad highlighting Democrats' well-documented history of disputing election results.
President Trump shared the roughly 10-minute video in an Aug. 28 post on Truth Social, calling it a "must-watch."
"Republican supporters and President Trump are being ridiculed, persecuted, and even prosecuted by Biden, congressional democrats, and their radical prosecutors for raising questions about the accuracy of the 2020 victory," the video begins.
"This may be one of the most hypocritical acts in history considering the Democrats have violently claimed that the last three Republican Presidential wins were stolen, rigged, and illegitimate, and it was Democrats who tried to stop the certification of a Republican President," it continues.
The video goes on to cite a number of occasions in which Democrats have challenged election results, including during the 2000 presidential election when former Vice President Al Gore lost in a close-call race against President George W. Bush.
Mr. Gore ultimately challenged the results in the U.S. Supreme Court amid a clash over which candidate had received Florida’s 25 electoral votes.
The Supreme Court subsequently ruled that a previous Florida Supreme Court order for an elective manual recount of that state’s presidential election ballots was unconstitutional and Mr. Gore eventually conceded the race.
In the video, multiple Democrats—including President Biden, former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton—can be seen questioning the 2000 election results, with President Biden stating outright that he believes Mr. Gore won the race.

@neanderthalsnavel the only thing I would say is that the Brewers don’t actually own the stadium. If they owned the stadium, I would call it a shakedown. They are free to leave whenever they want (once their current lease expires). If they can get a better deal somewhere else, let ‘em go. If the Stadium District (or whatever body actually oversees the stadium) feels it’s in the best interests of the region to upgrade the stadium then they’ll upgrade it.
@neanderthalsnavel Nashville isn’t getting a team before 2028, or whenever they finish building the replacement for Nissan Stadium. I heard they were going to make it dual use, so they can have it for football & baseball. Besides, isn’t Nashville where the White Sox are moving?

For the first time since 9/11, the sitting U.S. president will not attend any of the observances held annually in New York City in support of service members and the victims’ families.
NYC Mayor, NYPD Police Chief and faith leaders announce the start of a new NYPD initiative to support and facilitate amplified sound for the Muslim call to prayer on Fridays and during sunset prayers during Ramadan. Nearly 22 years after 9/11 and the chanting “Allahu Akbar” will now sound loud in the city. I wonder if in the streets of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, we will ever hear the sound of church bells.

Heidegger için otantiklik veya özgünlük, beklenmedik bir şekilde bilinç sahibi olduğu- muzu fark etmek fakat yine de varoluşumuza "anlam vermeye devam etmek demektir. Otantik olmayan kişinin hayatına toplumsal bir "onlar" şekil verirken otantik birey en azından zaman, mekân ve toplumun izin verdiği sınırlar içinde kendi varlığının efen- disi olma özgürlüğünü tam olarak kavrar. Özgünlük her zaman bir derece meselesidir çünkü hiç kimse kendisini Heidegger'in "bir" adını da verdiği toplum ya da sosyal sesten tam anlamıyla koparamaz.
Varoluşun asli niteliği, onun benim oluşudur der Heidegger. Bu farkındalıkta bir muazzamlık vardır; gerçekte bunun öyle bir ağırlığı vardır ki çok az insan otantik bir hayatın kendisi için ne anlama geldiğini kavrayabilir. Bir insan için daha doğal bir hayat tarzı çoklar arasında tek başına varolmaktır, bir özfarkındalık veya zorlu bir özsınama yolu seçmek değil. Buna karşılık bu ikincisini seçenler arasında bile tam olarak "kendi kendini gerçekleştirmiş" kişi diye bir şey yoktur.
Hayata verilecek uygun yanıt kendimizi onun içine atmak, bu yol boyunca neyin gerçek ve doğru olduğu konusunda yaygın kanıdan farklı sonuçlara varmak- tır. Paradoksal bir şekilde bu ancak gözümüzü açarak farklılık yaratabileceğimiz noktaları görebileceğimiz bu dünyanın ayrılmaz bir parçası olduğumuzu kabul edersek mümkündür. Yalnızca insanlar bir yandan sadece onun içinde varolarak bir dünyanın oluşumuna katkıda bulunabilir.

Glenn Greenwald interviews the father of #JulianAssange. Both, especially Greenwald, seem optimistic that Assange will be out of prison soon. The continued persecution of #Assange by the Biden Administration has become such a liability to the Biden Administration, especially since his Assange's release is a popular cause in Australia, and since the U.S. wants to improve their relationship with Australia and open military bases there .

Sadece geleceğe odaklanmak için geçmişe sırt çevirmek nafile bir çabadır. Böyle bir şeyin mümkün olabileceğine inanmak bile tehlikeli bir yanılsamadır. Geçmiş ile gelecek arasındaki karşıtlık ilişkisi saçmadır. Gelecek bize hiçbir şey getirmez, bize hiçbir şey sunmaz; onu inşa etmek için her şeyini, hatta hayatını vermesi gereken biziz. Ancak verebilmek için sahip olmak gerekir ve bunun için, bizim tarafımızdan sindirilen, özümsenen ve yeniden yaratılan geçmişten kalma hazinelerden başka bir yaşama yahut yaşam özüne sahip değiliz. İnsan ruhunun tüm gereksinimleri arasında geçmişten daha yaşamsal bir ihtiyaç yoktur.

Although I didn't mention it in my review, I can confirm that PS1 emulation does work. I've also added movies and TV shows to my SD card and the thing plays them quite well, including movies in 1080p.
It's really quite surprising that a Chinese emulation handheld is actually superior to the major consoles that Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft offer. I mean these handhelds could hook up to TVs long before Nintendo had the idea.
Okay. Playing Nintendo DS games on this thing somehow freezes the system to the point that you have to reflash your OS. Though, you probably wouldn't want to play DS games on this device anyway because there is no touchscreen or anything that can practically be used in place of one.
Though Mario Kart DS worked fine. Super Mario 64 DS was the one that hanged. The game requires you to touch the touch screen to start, so I had to quit, but exiting froze the thing. Hard resetting corrupted the OS.
This may not be a problem on other operating systems like JelOS.
@ItsSkyDragonz This particular device is from 2022, but devices like these have been around long before the Nintendo Switch and have even supported HDMI out for TV play. The Nintendo Switch in particular is just a Nvidia Shield Tablet with a custom BSD OS instead of Android.
It seems like the Retroid Pocket 2S has a lot of nice colors (especially the translucent ones), but the dealbreaker for me is that it runs on Android. I ended up ordering a Powkiddy RGB30 for its similar specs and the unique 720 x 720 square display (plus it's about $85 total). The one huge drawback for me so far is the fact that there's just three plain colors available: black, white, and navy (I chose the navy one). At least it runs on GNU+Linux (JELOS). I thought of getting the Analogue Pocket, but I'm avoiding it for the price and the software support. I'll write more when I eventually get it. RGB30_1.jpg POWKIDDY-RGB30.jpg
@berkberkman That device seems a lot more portable than the Arbernic RG503. It seems like something that can actually fit in your pocket unlike the Arbernic, which is the size of a mini-tablet. It also seems to have the exact same button layout and ports as the Arbernic which is good.
I haven't tried JelOS even though it's compatible with my device. The real question is if it can emulate N64 at least decently. The problem with N64 emulation is a software one rather than a hardware one (it can emulate Dreamcast games at full speed so it's more than capable of emulating N64), but from what I can tell, none of the emulators or operating systems compatible with my device seem to emulate N64 at an acceptable level, including JelOS (I've read forum posts saying that they still have problems). But if yours can run N64 games then it proves that it might be a mix between hardware and software issues.
>I'll write more when I eventually get it.
Oh please do. Even though I don't plan on getting a new device anytime soon, I think we should let people know which device to actually get as buying these things is a major gamble just from the compatibility issues alone.
Be sure to try out as many platforms as you can. If there are multiple emulators per platform, be sure to check out each. Also try out any engine ports as well. Some of them require you to configure the controls as these engines were made for PC. Be sure to include that along with the set-up process.
