Washington gun law

"we don't often get to talk about this jurisdiction, but the folks out in the U.S. virgin islands have lost their minds. Washington gun law president, William Kirk, discusses an ongoing lawsuit, brought by the doj, to overturn decades of unconstitutional gun laws in which the virgin island has responded with an extremely vile and inappropriate rant. but their tantrum does give us the chance to educate you on the 'doctrine of unclean hands.' a legal doctrine that we never thought in a million years that we would be talking about on this channel. so learn more today and arm yourself with education.

"According to police, a 15-year-old boy was approached by three suspects who attempted to rob him."
“A fight broke on the southbound 7 platform, and one of the suspects took out a knife and slashed the 15-year-old boy in the hand.”
No “fight broke.” Here’s an English-language version.
“According to police, a 15-year-old boy was approached by three” perps “who attempted to rob him.”
The boy defended himself on the southbound 7 platform, “and one of the” perps “took out a knife and slashed” him in the hand.
See? That wasn’t hard.

super bowl halftime has devolved into a stale roman bacchanal—gaudy, raunchy, and empty—leaving millions bored, alienated, and wondering who the spectacle is even for anymore.
In his vile, obscene “Safaera,” to avoid being censored, Bunny omitted a few of the song’s lyrics about his celebration of exploitative sodomy, fellatio, and anilingus—with misogynistic trashing of his compliant female sexual partners as “hoes.”

What the "bunny" represents
By RM
thursday, february 12, 2026 at 4:02:00 p.m. est
There was a postscript to the 1975 world series, which I never got around to posting. That series had the highest rating ever, I think 60 million+ viewers over the seven games. Huge number in those times.
mr. bunny's numbers certainly seem inflated, but may include worldwide viewership, and possibly internet views (which could include repeat views).
If you realize what he represents, it's no surprise that the (100%) liberal media is all raves.
reconquista. (As I commented here, OPENLY endorsed by mexico's president- who is Jewish and female!).
homosexuality. Supposedly the performance had men simulating sex with each other.
transgenderism. He piqued interest by threatening to wear a dress while performing. These days, that's considered a GOOD thing!
Pornography as popular culture (look up the lyrics- not going to post them here!).
Miscegenation, promiscuity, and the notion that White women can only be satisfied by "the other." (Why not? They're attracted to one thing-power-and White men just don't have it anymore.)
The death of "family," as suggested by the idea that all of this is suitable for viewing in the average home. (Remember "Family Viewing Time"? What a laugh!)
And lastly, the coronation of rap as our dominant form of entertainment. "The medium is the message." Pure nihilism.
The vileness of the so-called "alternative" pretty much wraps it up. Bye-bye, America.

TI makes analog chips, not the CPUs of Intel nor the GPUs of Nvidia.
And it has been making semiconductor chips for decades, as in three generations. https://dallasinnovates.com/texas-instruments-newest-fab-plant-in-richardson-kicks-off-wafer-production/

A Latinx [sic] poetry reading popped up in my email box on Feb. 11 from the University of California Berkeley's English Dept.
We're excited to welcome back our amazing alum community for another semester of Read Along with Berkeley English! This spring, we'll be following along with Professor John Alba Cutler. In our first session today, we'll be discussing a selection of poems from his Spring 2026 Latinx Poetry class. Our full schedule for Spring 2026 is here, and make sure to learn more about Professor Cutler from his faculty bio.
Professor Cutler has distributed a selection of poems from his class for attendees. He notes: "The keyword for the first session is History, and we'll be talking both about the history of Latinx poetry and what it means to read Latinx poetry as history." Please email englishevents@berkeley.edu to request the reading for this event. If you aren't able to read beforehand, we hope you'll still join us in conversation with all your questions for Professor Cutler!
When I looked up "What Is Latinx Poetry" I got this AI Overview:
"Latinx poetry is a diverse, non-binary, and intersectional body of work written by poets with roots in Latin America, often residing in the U.S. It explores themes of identity, migration, colonization, and belonging, often using English, Spanish, Spanglish, and indigenous languages to challenge cultural norms and highlight Afro-Latinx experiences."
Speaking of "non-binary," my Jewish Book Club had all its members introducing themselves with their preferred pronouns: this, we were told, was required by the larger organization sponsoring the group.
'Nuff said.
How much action is there during the super bowl?

Interesting TV GUIDE article from 50 years ago: Someone took a stopwatch and timed the amount of physical action (the time when the ball was actually in play) in the 1975 Super Bowl. Turned out to be SEVEN MINUTES out of a four-hour game! That's why I don't care for the sport-I enjoy the action, but there's very little of it! When I still had cable, I used to watch the old NFL Films highlight shows on the Classic Sports channel-THOSE were great!
By the way, what's the difference between Buster Bunny and white-trash idol Kid Rock? They're both rappers! Some choice-Some culture-

variety and ass(ociated) press swoon over bad bunny, while Breitbart raves about the tpusa show--both sides are full of it
GRA: I did a quick check on the ap, variety.com, and breitbart reviews for the super bowl halftime "shows."
variety's (White, chunky) William Earl said, "the bad bunny show was more American than the tpusa effort, which was short on talent."
ass press' female reviewer, (white, chunky) Maria Sherman, dished out the pro-mex propaganda, dismissing complaints about the non-English performance and repeating often (to convince herself?) Benito Ocasio is "a worldwide superstar," giving her rabid approval of every song.
Yes, bad bunny's real last name is Ocasio.
Breitbart ripped bad bunny and said the kid rock show "crushed it."
Only my eardrums.
So both sides of the media lied about their respective interests.
Both shows were unwatchable.
And I don't yell at clouds--yet.

nba--nigs brawl always, this time in Charlotte, as punches are substituted for ar-15s
"(Fox) a massive brawl broke out between the Charlotte hornets and detroit pistons on monday night, leading to four ejections in a wild third-quarter scene.
"hornets players Moussa Diabate and Miles Bridges, as well as pistons’ Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart, were all ejected from the game.
"the incident began when Duren was backing down Diabate in the paint, and the latter fouled the former with around seven minutes to play in the third quarter. but the two immediately got in each other’s face, with Diabate pressing his head against Duren, which set everything off.
[GRA: Motive? Anyone find a motive yet? Oh--they're black.]
Moussa Diabate lunges at Jalen Duren
Moussa Diabate and Miles Bridges of the Charlotte Hornets fight Jalen Duren #0 of the Detroit Pistons during the second half of a basketball game at Spectrum Center on Feb. 9, 2026 in Charlotte, north Carolina.
"Duren shoved Diabate’s face, and despite people on both sides trying to alleviate the tension, the usually mild-mannered Diabate kept trying to find Duren again.
"pistons veteran Tobias Harris was holding back Diabate, when the latter threw a punch at Duren, escalating the whole situation. As Duren walked away, Bridges got involved, throwing his own left-handed punch at Duren. the pistons forward retaliated with his own punch.
"then, with many on the court at this point, Stewart came rushing off the pistons’ bench to confront Bridges, throwing a punch as their altercation became the focal point of the madness on the hardwood.
"the tense scene finally dissipated, but the ejections didn’t stop after that. in the fourth quarter, hornets coach Charles Lee was tossed from the game and needed to be held back after screaming at officials following a no-call when his player, Grant Williams, collided with pistons’ Paul Reed."
GRA: Give the captain of each team a small-caliber pistol to make it even more violent. Gasoline cans, filled to the top, with flamethrowers optional.

nbc noise: Guthrie family doesn't recognize masked intruder and it eliminates brother-in-law as suspect
GRA: The videos are from the doorbell camera which had been thought to be turned off by the intruder, with no images to be seen, but the footage was restored.
NBC said, "The Guthries do not recognize that masked figure.
Kelly O'Donnell made an interesting point that Nancy Guthrie's house "is not far from the mexican border."

"The Rivers Suite" from Alfred Newman's Stupendous Score to How the West was Won (1962)

"The Rivers Suite" from Alfred Newman's Stupendous Score to How the West was Won (1962)
""@tomsmith7742 Hands down the greatest movie score of all time. Perfectly evokes the beauty, grandeur, and adventure of the American western experience. How it didn't win an Oscar is the biggest blunder in Oscar history."
N.S.: The blunder was in the studio's campaign of opening the picture all over Europe in 1962, but not opening in the States until 1963. That caused it to be ineligible for the Oscars until 1964, at which point it lost to John Addison for Tom Jones. (I have never been a fan of John Addison.) However, had it been up for the 1963 Oscars, it still might have lost, for two of the greatest scores of all time came out that year: Maurice Jarre's music to Lawrence of Arabia, which won, and Elmer Bernstein's music to To Kill a Mockingbird.
Al Newman (1900-1970) was the founder of what I have dubbed the Newman gang. He was for 32 years the music director at 20th Century Fox Studios, where he won nine Oscars for Best Original Music, a record which still stands. Another of his records was in being nominated for an Oscar for 20 straight years (1938-1957), anywhere from once to four times per year. His brothers Emil and Lionel Newman were also successful Hollywood composer-conductors, and their children and grandchildren were also nominated for Oscars for their screen music. The greatest score I have ever heard, to Bernard Malamud and Barry Levinson's The Natural (1984), was composed by Al's great-nephew, Randy Newman.

Tough days for America's "depraved political class"?
Sent: Monday, February 9, 2026 at 04:52:48 PM EST
Subject: Tough days for America's "depraved political class"?
One can only hope that the answer to my subject line's question is "Yes." ("Depraved political class" is an evergreen term from Mark Steyn.)
The very worthwhile current piece below refers to Angelo Codevilla's 2010 essay "America's Ruling Class and the perils of revolution," also a must-read. Here's its link: https://spectator.org/americas-ruling-class/
In the article below, the next-to-last paragraph is a notably excellent summing-up.
The Ruling Class Panic
If you take a close look at some of the major news stories that have captured our collective attention over the last few weeks, you may notice a peculiar pattern.
We'll start in Minneapolis, with the story that has dominated the headlines for weeks. Although Tom Homan, President Trump's "border czar," has deftly negotiated a de-escalation of tensions in the nation's most aggressive, bizarre, and aggressively bizarre sanctuary city, protests there continue. More to the point, state and local politicians continue to behave as if federal laws are irrelevant and as if they have no responsibility whatsoever to abide by rules that they have decided are unpleasant.
From there, we move to the story that has dominated headlines—off and on—for years. The Justice Department recently released a new trove of documents from the "Epstein Files," and, to no one's surprise, the most powerful people in Washington state, Washington DC, London, Cambridge (Massachusetts), and all points in between have been revealed—once again—to be among the most loathsome creatures God ever made. As it turns out, we should be grateful that the worst thing Bill Gates ever gave us was "Clippy" or Windows Vista, given what he, apparently, gave his now-ex-wife.
And speaking of Washington, this past week, The Washington Post, once famous for enabling a jilted bureaucrat to take down an American president, laid off one-third of its staff and fully shuttered its sports section. Peggy Noonan, the onetime speechwriter for presidents who were repeatedly and viciously maligned by the Post, nevertheless lamented the paper's collapse and lectured the rest of us that we too should mourn the loss of this institution that openly and unabashedly loathed us: "The capital of the most powerful nation on earth appears to be without a vital, fully functioning newspaper to cover it. That isn't the occasion of jokes, it's a disaster." Maybe Noonan is right. Maybe the Post's collapse isn't the occasion of jokes. If that's the case, however, maybe someone should tell the paper's "journalists," who seem bound and determined to prove her wrong at every possible opportunity.
Meanwhile, in Chicago, the American Medical Association decided, after much soul-searching, that maybe it's not a great idea for minor children to lop off various parts of their bodies in vain hope of changing their gender. Less than five years ago, the AMA could hardly control its fury at state legislators who took this same position (that subjecting minors to transgender surgery was a grievous mistake) and railed against "the governmental intrusion into the practice of medicine that is detrimental to the health of transgender and gender-diverse children…." Times change, however, and sometimes science turns out not to be as settled as the righteous scolds would have us believe.
Finally, across the pond, in Europe, the censors have been resurgent of late. Last week, for example, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez told the World Government Summit in Dubai that he and his government intend to hold the executives of social media companies liable for the naughty, untrue, or just inconvenient things their users might say on their platforms. Sánchez laid out a five-point plan for fixing the "failed state" of social media and imposing law and order on that lawless ecosystem. Like the rest of Europe's establishment leaders—from Germany to France to the UK—the Spanish government sees the "unregulated" speech found on social media to be a threat to its ability to govern "effectively." By week's end, Sira Rego, the Spanish Minister of Youth and Children, was calling for a flat-out ban on Twitter/X—and not just for kids.
By now, you may be wondering: what, exactly, is peculiar about all these stories? What makes them especially interesting? As I said, you have to look closely. You have to look beyond the superficial, beyond the "who, what, where, when, and why" of journalistic lore. If you do that, if you read them with an eye toward social and cultural forces driving the broader narrative, rather than the specific characters and storylines in each narrow tale, you will notice that they are all, in some very real and relevant ways, the very same story. They all describe, in some form or another, at various stages in the process, the cracking up of the Western ruling class: the self-destruction, the exposure, and the inevitable freakout of the gatekeepers of our society, the men and women who have, for the last century, deigned to rule us and to subject us to their every whim—for our own good, of course.
As I am fond of noting, fifteen years ago, the brilliant and incomparable Angelo Codevilla wrote what came to be seen as the cri de coeur of American neo-populists, those whom he called "the country class." Since the end of the American Civil War (more or less), the American ruling class has been consolidating its power, setting itself apart from those it rules in taste, manners, and interests, and depriving its "subjects" of the liberty to which they are entitled by their creator. Over the past quarter-century or so, however, the ruling class has overplayed its proverbial hand and has prompted a response, a near-revolution by the country class, which resents the arrogance and insolence of its so-called "betters." Slowly but surely, both the United States and Western compatriots have been moving toward some sort of revolutionary denouement, as Codevilla noted:
The ruling class wears on its sleeve the view that the rest of Americans are racist, greedy, and above all, stupid. The country class is ever more convinced that our rulers are corrupt, malevolent, and inept. The rulers want the ruled to shut up and obey. The ruled want self-governance. The clash between the two is about which side's vision of itself and of the other is right and which is wrong. Because each side—especially the ruling class—embodies its views on the issues, concessions by one side to another on any issue tend to discredit that side's view of itself. One side or the other will prevail. The clash is as sure and momentous as its outcome is unpredictable…
All of the stories above—be they about the recklessness and fecklessness of the neo-Confederates in Minnesota, the neo-totalitarians in Europe, or the pedophile and pedophile-adjacent "elites" in the United States and England—suggest that this denouement is approaching, that the ruling class is, at long last, facing judgment, and is, as a result, panicking. No one "needs" the gatekeepers at The Washington Post any longer to tell us what is and is not "news." No one believes—as Tim Walz and Pedro Sánchez insist—that demanding national borders is akin to the Holocaust. No one believes that it is sound practice to castrate teenagers or that the doctors who advocated for castration will be forgiven and forgotten. No one believes that Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, and Larry Summers were mere innocent bystanders. No one believes any of what the ruling class insists, and no one believes that they should any longer have the power to manipulate institutions and deny reality to maintain their glorified status.
Western elites speak nobly about "public service," but they possess almost no public spirit. Plato famously envisioned a republican ruling class that loved knowledge and chose to live the simple life. By contrast, members of the Western ruling classes today revel in intellectual fads, the advocacy of moral radicalism, and the gratification of all their material desires. They are, in many ways, the perfect opposite of the ruling class Plato imagined for his Kallipolis.
Of course, as Codevilla noted, our constitutional "republic" is long dead and gone. Our ruling class saw to that. What comes next, however—what comes after the denouement—is still very much in doubt.
