How does "iran flattening" end? P.T. says, "Netanyahu and I will decide together"
"(times of Israel) U.S. President Donald Trump told the times of Israel on sunday that a decision on when to end the war with iran will be a “mutual” one that he’ll make together with prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"Trump also asserted in the brief telephone interview that the islamic republic would have destroyed Israel if he and Netanyahu had not been around. “iran was going to destroy Israel and everything else around it… we’ve worked together. we’ve destroyed a country that wanted to destroy Israel.”
"the U.S. president was asked whether he alone would decide when the war with Iran ends or if Netanyahu would also have a say.
“I think it’s mutual… a little bit. we’ve been talking. I’ll make a decision at the right time, but everything’s going to be taken into account,” he responded, indicating that while Netanyahu will have input, the U.S. president will have the final say.
"asked whether Israel could continue the war against iran even after the U.S. decides to halt its strikes, Trump declined to entertain the theoretical possibility before adding: “I don’t think it’s going to be necessary.”

"Jesse." There's a name that's simple to spell--stolen from Jesse James--but back in 1960, blacks had short names, like Ray and Leroy, so that when they got arrested, they knew how to at least spell their own damn names.
Now, the cops ask a thug his name and he says, "Jiminycricket," "Raconteurious," or some garbage.
"How do you spell that?"
"I DON'T KNOW--I was hopin' you'd tell ME--mannn."

News brown-out in denver: Two brothers with different, hispanic surnames take plea bargains for premeditated, drive-by shooting murder of third hispanic vic, 19, but local media covered up the story, and never let go!
Who: Vic: Dacien Salazar, 19, shot dead on feb. 14, 2024
Who: Shooter: Antonio Vasquez got 40 years
Who: Getaway driver: Jason Trujillo Jr. (Vasquez' brother), got 20 years
What: Planned, drive-by shooting murder
Where: outside denver’s downtown aquarium
When: feb.14, 2024
How: Shooting
Why: The denver media have refused to answer this, or related "who" questions. What gang were Vasquez and Trujillo in?
Why did Vasquez and Trujillo plan and carry out Salazar's murder? Who set up Salazar, by ensuring that he'd be in front of the aquarium at just that time? What gang, if any, was Salazar in?
"denver, colo. (krdo) - on feb.14, 2024, Antonio Vasquez shot and killed 19-year-old Dacien Salazar during a drive-by shooting outside denver’s downtown aquarium, according to the denver district attorney's office.

Vasquez and Trujillo both previously pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree murder in the death of 19-year-old Dacien Salazar, according to the da's office. officials say Trujillo drove the car that was used in the shooting."

"after a decade of missteps, Corpus Christi careens toward water catastrophe. a foreshadowing of what happens when middle east states run out of water."
I googled under “drought.” In America, droughts are inextricably connected to mass immigration, and yet none of the stories cited immigration as a cause.
Not yet clear: what impact this will have on the Edwards Aquifer case, a little-known legal battle in San Antonio in which the Reconquista war on America over the constitution and conservationism converge.
The EAA provides the vast majority of the water to eight counties in Texas, predominantly Bexar (pronounced “bear”) County, which is dominated by San Antonio. With 1,382,951 residents (63.2 percent of them Hispanic), San Antonio is the seventh largest city in America. (The other counties are Uvalde, Medina, Atascosa, Caldwell, Guadalupe, Comal and Hays.)
There are 17 seats (15 elected) on the EAA. Three are currently in Hispanic hands. LULAC and other Reconquistas want control. To that end, their lawsuit enlists both the U.S. Constitution (14th Amendment) and the 1965 federal Voting Rights Act (VRA), designed to prioritize minority voters, and argues that the EAA’s voting structure violates the“one man, one vote” rule derived from the 14th Amendment, and dilutes minority power.
As usual, the Reconquistas are acting as if “residents” are actually American citizens with the right to vote. Hispanic “residents” may account for 58.9 percent of Bexar County—but, because many are illegal, Hispanic citizens are almost certainly less than a majority. Unless this is a war, invading a jurisdiction does not give foreigners the right to take it over.
Moreover, the EAA voting structure is not supposed to be strictly equalitarian. For years, the aquifer was run by a federal court after repeated litigation. (Going back over 100 years—see some of the history here.) It was only after many years of negotiation and compromise between the many different interest groups (“stakeholders”), and in light of the federal Endangered Species Act, that the voting structure of the EAA Board was determined. Stakeholders include the city of San Antonio, manufacturing, agriculture, recreation, conservationists and other interest groups.
LULAC, founded in 1929, is the oldest Hispanic “Civil Rights” [i.e. interest] group. Until at least 1954, LULAC was a patriotic organization whose members saw themselves as Americans first. But at some point thereafter, it was transformed into a Treason Lobby faction promoting Reconquista. [“Funding Hate - Foundations and the Radical Hispanic Lobby- Part III,” by Joseph Fallon, The Social Contract, Fall 2000.]
The Main Stream Media have implied that the Reconquistas are opposed by virtually no one, just some old white guy—T. Weir Labatt III, dubbed “Old Man Water” by Robert Rivard of The Rivard Report, which talks of a balance of “stakeholders” and the “Endangered Species Act,” none of which suddenly matters anymore to mainstream media known for paying lip-service to both notions.
Two aspects of this conflict concern us at VDARE.com: The Reconquistas vs. the U.S. Constitution, and the Reconquistas vs. water conservation. These are two sides of the same coin: Mass immigration. Without mass immigration, LULAC would never become a Reconquista organization or be tempted to make this power play. And a national water shortage would not be looming.
Roland Ruiz, the EAA’s interim general manager, points out that the agency’s case was established as a “special-purpose water district” to oversee “irrigation, environmental and urban interests in a balanced manner,” rather than to reflect the population in each of its voting districts. Special-purpose districts need not comply with the one-person, one-vote constitutional provision, Ruiz notes.
LULAC disagrees:
Although two U.S. Supreme Court cases declined to apply the one-person, one-vote standard to agricultural water supply districts in California and Arizona, [LULAC attorney David R. Richards] said, “we think this case is readily distinguishable than those.”
During June, I left Richards a telephone message asking how he could distinguish LULAC v. EAA from the cases that lost in federal court. But he never responded.
Leftist VRA supporters asserted that “pervasive discrimination in voting has persisted in the areas subject to Section 5.” Although VRA was supposed to end after five (!) years in 1970, supporters sought to get it reauthorized in perpetuity as a tool of black and Hispanic racial power. It was re-authorized in 2006 for yet another 25 years. [Shelby Co. v. Holder by Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.]
However, something unexpectedly nasty just happened to VRA:
On June 25, the U.S. Supreme Court held, 5-4, that the part of the Voting Rights Act, Section 4, which required federal “pre-clearance,” before a covered jurisdiction (part or all of 15 states, including Texas) could change voting procedures, was unconstitutional, based on changed conditions for which it no longer held relevance [PDF], and eliminated it henceforth.
During a long telephone interview, Greg Flores, SAWS’ VP for Public Affairs, [Email him] provided a Lockean rationale for supporting LULAC’s lawsuit that sidestepped the ethnic issue: Money. Flores maintained that since San Antonio pays 80 percent of the money that supports the EAA, it should dominate the board. Flores also cited the disparity whereby farmers’ rate is capped at $2 per acre/foot for water, whereas municipalities are charged $99 per acre/foot, with no cap on the price.
During an extensive telephone interview with me, T. Weir Labatt III (“Old Man Water”) agreed with Greg Flores regarding the disparity: “I agree with Greg that it’s inequitable, but it’s the state legislature that made it inequitable.”
Thus, Labatt suggests, the state legislature, not the courts, must rectify the matter.
Labatt countered further that SAWS’ board had signed off on the EAA’s Habitat Conservation Plan, which included the funding plan, just “four, five months” before joining LULAC’s suit in August, 2012.
SAWS’ President/CEO Robert Puente (2008-) is a former state representative (1991-2008) whose entire political career focused on water conservation. Puente drafted the legislation that created the EAA. Labatt says he had “always found him fair,” but
“Nobody understands why Robert Puente and the SAWS board intervened in the LULAC lawsuit. In 1995, Puente came up with the legislation in terms of user groups [stakeholders]. Why would he change his stripes?
“If (LULAC’s) successful, it could undo what we’ve been doing [working towards balance, consensus, and compromise] for 20 years. Why is LULAC doing this? No one that I know knows the genesis of this lawsuit.”
“With the Edwards Aquifer board, we’ve never had any minority issues.”
Labatt sees LULAC/SAWS losing in the courts. However, should they win, he believes that the federal court will simply remand the matter back to the Texas Legislature to resolve, in which case the EAA might be dissolved and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (the state counterpart of the federal Environmental Protection Agency) be put in charge of the Aquifer, and SAWS would lose whatever influence it presently has. He adds:
“But I think they misgauged the unintended consequences, and they can’t fix it with 14 or 15 [Hispanic EAA Board members]. Therefore, SAWS has miscalculated—all of a sudden SAWS doesn’t have any power over the Aquifer Authority. I think it was a foolish move. I think the long term is going to turn around and bite them real hard.”
One confidential informant in the area suggested that Puente [Email him] might be behind the LULAC suit, in order to enhance his own power.
Water has been called variously, “the new oil” and “the new gold.” Fortunes in the billions of dollars can be made through controlling this limited natural resource.
My theory: At the risk of sounding patronizing, whites like Labatt, who come from a kinder, gentler America, are not used to the new reality, in which racial socialists violate the law with impunity.
I think Robert Puente has gone Reconquista. He is either banking on going to the U.S. Supreme Court, if necessary, where the Obama Administration has been holding something over Chief Justice John Roberts, “persuading” him to reverse his position in crucial votes like Obamacare and join the lynch mob attacking federal Circuit Court Judge Edith Jones, or lower-level federal judges getting phone calls from Washington. Should the court stratagem fail, Eric Holder’s Justice Department will intervene against Texas, and on behalf of Puente.
With Obama and Holder behind him, Puente will simply ignore all of the petty legalities—the Endangered Species Act, the EAA law, and Texas agencies. Presently unpaid EAA board positions would be paid salaries, and Reconquistacronies could make billions off the water.
The next round in the Edwards Aquifer water war will play out in the courtroom of U.S. District Court Judge Orlando Garcia (PDF), Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division, where a status conference will be held on August 7.

Pretty sure Dick Powell died from cancer; he was director of The Conqueror, the infamous movie where several of the actors got sick shortly afterwards and it was blamed on atomic testing that had taken place in the desert location. I'm dubious about the theory-you'd have to show that crew members who were on the set every day also got cancer. EVERYBODY was a smoker back then, so it could be just randomness that several people in the movie fell ill. On the other hand, radiation exposure PLUS smoking has been shown to be a cancer-accelerant, at least for lung cancer, so who knows?
I did see The Losers recently-pretty disappointing. Wasn't crazy about the "humorous" episodes of The Westerner, either (much as I love John Dehner); I thought they really clashed with the grim tone of the series.
-RM
N.S.: Dick Powell died of a massive coronary.
As for The Losers and The Westerner, I believe it was Powell's idea to alternate grim and humorous episodes. Crazy Sam Peckinpah was pretty grim by nature, even when he was funny. The Losers was unevenly written. I thoroughly enjoyed two of the humorous episodes of The Westerner ("Brown" and "The Courting of Libby"). As for "The Painting," meh.
usa today engages in limited form of the Marlon Brando/"sacheen littlefeather" hoax
usa today ran a "thing" today on Motion Picture Academy members who have refused their Oscars. The first case was that of Dudley Nichols, one of the all-time-great screenwriters, who refused his Oscar for his adaptation of The Informer, collaborating with John Ford. (Note that Nichols, like most of history's greatest screenwriters, e.g., Robert Riskin and Robert E. Sherwood, was snubbed by the new york magazine/dnc vultures.com commissars.) The other cases were those of George C. Scott and The Bum.
"Marlon Brando arrives in London in 1968. The actor would come to define a brave new style of realist acting, as well as defy the Academy Awards when he refused his 1973 Oscar for The Godfather."
(N.S.: There was nothing "realistic" about The Bum's style of acting. As for emotionalism, it was Jimmy Stewart who introduced a more emotional style of acting in 1946 in It's a Wonderful Life. But more "realist"? (I think that would be "realistic" in English.) In my 2004 obituary for The Bum, I criticized the notion that he had revolutionized movie acting by making it more "realistic," and was pleased to see Stefan Kanfer quote me at length, in his 2008 Bum bio, Somebody.)
When younger actors imitated him, The Bum succeeded at making movie acting more self-indulgent.
As far as refusing his Oscar, The Bum was just engaging in a shameless publicity stunt, which emphasized him in his absence, and which imitated George C. Scott, who had refused his own Oscar, for Patton, the previous year.
On the plus side, usa today operatives Marco della Cava and Patrick Ryan and their editors ditched most of the "Sacheen Littlefeather" hoax (the blood libel asserting that John Wayne sought to attack the woman on Oscar Night, 1973), but left in two parts of it: that there was a "Sacheen Littlefeather," when no such person existed, and that she was an American Indian ("native american"). The female's name was Maria Cruz, and she was hispanic, not at all American Indian.

Marlon Brando
Marlon Brando was a once-in-a-generation actor who literally re-wrote the acting book with his powerful Method performances on both stage and screen. His 1973 best actor win was all but expected given the tremendous success of 1972's "The Godfather," in which Brando played Don Vito Corleone.
Interestingly, Brando had been out of favor with the Hollywood system by the early 1970s, after a series of movies that ran over budget and failed to score big at the box office. He was considered a high-risk hire, and "Godfather" director Coppola had to fight to cast Brando.
So perhaps it wasn't a surprise when instead of accepting the award, he stunned the well-heeled crowd by sending in Native American actress Sacheen Littlefeather to refuse the Oscar proffered by Roger Moore. Instead, she gave a statement (abridging a 15-page speech Brando had written for the occasion) in support of Brando's latest political cause: the plight of Native Americans, specifically the occupation of a town called Wounded Knee.

“minnesotan who keyed six Teslas, receives no jail time and one-day suspension from state job”
“(zh) a minnesota state employee who vandalized six Tesla vehicles last year, causing up to $21,000 in damage, received no jailtime and just a single-day suspension from his job, state records show.
“Dylan Adams, an employee with the minnesota department of human services (dhs), was caught on Tesla security cameras keying the vehicles in march and early april 2025, amid a rash of [organized] anti-Tesla vandalism and firebomb attacks throughout the nation.
“the anti-Tesla attacks coincided with nationwide 'Tesla takedown' demonstrations organized by [democratic party] actblue-funded groups to agitate against Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration as the head of the department of government efficiency (doge).
[N.S.: Who the h-e-c-k wrote “coincided with"?! The vandalism attacks were obviously integral to the “Tesla takedown”!]
“as the fiscal policy analyst and compliance lead [supervisor? director?] on dhs’s program integrity team, Adams is reportedly responsible for preventing waste, fraud and abuse in public benefit programs in a state that has recently seen an estimated $300 million in child nutrition funds and $9 billion in medicaid funds lost to waste, fraud, and abuse.
“according to a report on the Minnesota DHS investigation, Adams indicated that he was “concerned” about Musk making a “Nazi salute” during a 2024 campaign event, a malicious smear propagated by Democrats and their allies in the media.
“he also admitted that he vandalized the Teslas “in hopes the owners would disassociate themselves from Elon Musk and Tesla.”
“Adams told investigators he was “on a break” or “out sick” during the times he was out keying Tesla vehicles, however Adams’ state time card, obtained by alpha news, shows he logged a full eight-hour workday during the time period he was committing some of the crimes.
“'regardless, he was punished' with just an unpaid, one-day suspension on thursday, jan. 22, 2026.
“'you are reminded that you are expected to comply with all enterprise and agency policies and fulfill your responsibility of maintaining public trust; failure to do so could result in further disciplinary action up to and including termination of your employment,' a letter sent to Adams on jan. 20 reads.”
[N.S.: A letter sent by who?!]
“Adams was informed that he had the right to appeal the day off, but there is no indication that he objected to the minor slap [redundancy department of redundancy alert] on the wrist.”

My teeth are fine, thanks-they're the wooden set George Washington loaned me just before he went off to fight the British! Never did give them back...
The "analogy" is silly, but no worse than saying that a pseudonym that was devised in 1969 was "used throughout film history"! Not worth getting agitated over. The movie sounds like something that WOULD annoy me, a turn-of-the-century Western about "changing times" that has Richard Widmark marrying Lena Horne! Yikes!
This is amusing, from wikipedia:
"Despite the [directorial] dispute, critics praised the film and its 'new' director. The New York Times commented that the film was 'sharply directed by Allen Smithee who has an adroit facility for scanning faces and extracting sharp background detail,' [Sounds like the cameraman's work to me!] Roger Ebert called the film, 'an extraordinary western ... director Allen Smithee, a name I'm not familiar with, allows his story to unfold naturally.'" [As opposed to UNnaturally?] Well, if it was about race-mixing, no wonder they liked it-surprised it wasn't up for an Oscar!
Directorial pseudonyms aren't that common, but as I recall, Fatty Arbuckle was directing comedies under a fake name after the scandal that halted his acting career-so they're not exactly new, either!

Our kuwaiti "allies" (remember our afghani "allies," who shot our men in the back?): how three U.S. f-15s got shot out of the sky: it was done by one kuwaiti pilot--all by himself--with three shots, n o t the previous thinking that the "shoot downs" came from ground defense artillery--which is now debunked; $187 million falls to the earth
"(zh) in a remarkable feat, a single kuwaiti f/a-18 super hornet took out all three of the American f-15s that were shot down over kuwait on sunday, according to sources who spoke to the wall street journal. the new narrative replaces the initial reports that attributed the shootdowns to a kuwaiti patriot missile battery."

"launching just three missiles, a single pilot went three-for-three, destroying the trio of f-15e strike eagles, which were purchased for something like a combined $93 million in 1998 dollars, or $187 million today. new f-15ex models go for about $100 million apiece. all six crew members parachuted safely in kuwaiti territory, though one of them had an unsettling reception from a pipe-wielding kuwaiti who may have mistaken him for an iranian pilot:
"the incident happened shortly after an iranian drone hit a U.S. tactical operations center in kuwait, killing six U.S. army reserve soldiers, say the journal's sources, who are familiar with the initial reports on the mishap [sic]. with many other drones having swarmed the area, when an amped-up kuwaiti pilot saw jets on his radar, he started blasting.

Well, if they took out baltimore....just kidding, sort of. I'm not convinced this war is about nukes or their "sponsorship of terrorism," certainly not because they kill protestors; we only care about that sort of thing when it serves as useful propaganda. iran is the world's 8th leading oil producer, and with oil being the convergence point of so many world conflicts, I wondered who iran was selling their oil to. The below answer is revealing as to why the western banks might be a little po'd at iran. china is trying to establish a petro yen to challenge the petro dollar and is a member of brics; iran may just be a hotspot where our cold war with china is heating up:
As of early 2026, iran exports approximately 1.6 to 2 million barrels of oil per day, with over 80%—or nearly all of its seaward exports—going to china. These sales are facilitated by independent chinese refiners, often bypassing U.S. sanctions through ship-to-ship transfers, despite recent, heightened risks of disruptions due to regional conflicts.
Key details regarding Iran's oil sales include:
Primary buyer: china is the overwhelmingly dominant buyer of iranian crude, purchasing most of its exports, which helps sustain the iranian economy despite sanctions.
Sanction evasion: iran uses "ghost fleets," and ship-to-ship transfers to hide the origin of its oil to bypass U.S. sanctions.
Market context: iran is a major producer with around 4 million barrels per day in total production, but sanctions have severely limited its customer base to, almost exclusively, asia.
Regional impact: The oil sales are critical to iran's economy and fund various regional proxies.
While some reports historically indicated smaller, sporadic sales to other asian nations, china has become the nearly exclusive recipient of iranian oil in 2026, Reuters reports.
