Will the U.S. go into iraq, too--if they don't get the political leader they (?) want as prime minister?
“historic”
“(ZH) Iraq's Coordination Framework is still putting forward Nouri al-Maliki as its candidate for prime minister, despite President Trump loudly and repeatedly demand he be withdrawn. The US had reportedly set a deadline of Friday, February 27, to end the candidacy or face unspecified repercussions. What happens next, after the US has attacked Tehran, is anyone's guess.
“If that sounds familiar, it’s because the US had similarly set a "final deadline" for Maliki’s withdrawal last weekend, though that deadline passed with little visible consequence and just more US complaining about Maliki.
“With just 24 hours left, the latest deadline doesn’t seem like it’s going to change anything either, with the Framework saying they don’t intend to allow the US to decide who gets to be Iraq’s prime minister.
“Furthermore, the indication is that they don’t even intend to hold another meeting on the premiership until next week, well after this deadline will have already passed.
“There does not appear to be any other serious candidate being put forward by any part of the Framework, which is the largest bloc in Iraq’s deeply divided parliament.

3 a.m. speech by President Trump was one of his best, explaining the "war" that was beginning in iran; democrats and Starmer sound the same
GRA: First, there's no war happening. War is what's occurring in the ukraine with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians killed on both sides. iran is a weak country, militarily, so today's action is similar to the United States going into venezuela to take out Maduro. [N.S.: A "police action"? Isn't that what Harry called the Korean War?]
President Trump--who never sleeps, supposedly--was in charge, at 3 a.m., to announce the start of the bombing in tehran.
"This is being done for the future," he explained and it made total sense.
democrats, of course, voiced opposition and Keir Starmer, the p.m. of great britain, pushed for a de-escalation and return to negotiations--almost exactly what russia and red china said previously. Since he and their government are pro-moslem, that is not a surprise, but still is amazing to hear from a country who used to be pro-White and pro-England.
democrats in the U.S., like Sandy Cortez (alias "AOC") and Cory Booker, disgustingly slammed President Trump with political nonsense, but no reasons why iran should not be stopped from attaining nukes--which radical moslem governments WOULD use on Christian nations.

The double standard of worshipping black-only communities and demonizing White-only ones was brought up multiple times in the discussion so I wondered what ai had to say about it.

I put modern in the search because without it, certain historical communities came up that don't really have relevance to modern day ones. In any case, check out the difference, black-only communities are described as virtuous and righteous, Whites-only ones are demonized.

nigadelphia cops arrest 19 rappers who committed murders and wrote rap songs about them; they were played on youtube, which made the thugs enough money to commit more murders between 2022 and 2024

nigadelphia cops arrest 19 rappers who committed murders and wrote rap songs about them; they were played on youtube, which made the thugs enough money to commit more murders between 2022 and 2024
"(abc) authorities say 19 people will soon be charged in connection with a series of deadly shootings in south and southwest philadelphia, including members of the young bag chasers, or ybc gang.
"according to the philadelphia district attorney’s office, the arrests were connected to shooting incidents between 2022 and 2024, resulting in five homicides and 35 total shooting victims, with the youngest being a 5-year-old. in one incident, victims were attending a memorial for someone killed in another shooting.
"assistant district attorney Anna Walters said wednesday the gang members would often record songs and make music videos about the shootings. Then, a rival gang would retaliate, continuing the cycle of gun violence and creating content based on that.
"whyy thanks our sponsors — become a whyy sponsor
“'I think it’s horrific what they’ve done with music in philadelphia. philadelphia is known for its drill rap, in which people are bragging about these horrible acts of violence,” she said.
“'what we need to see is that you cannot brag about violence, you cannot make music about violence without consequences here.”
"officials discussed the death of philly rapper ybc dul in 2024 as an example of a retaliatory hit following a diss track. his death occurred less than a day after a documentary on the rapper was released on youtube. in one of his music videos, he is seen digging up a grave of a deceased rival, one of many incidents that earned him the title “mr. disrespectful.”
assistant district attorney William Fritze said the gangs would make money through ad revenue generated from youtube and alleged the rappers would fund gang-related activities by sharing their earnings.
“'parents in this city, if your children are listening to violent drill music, you are causing part of the problem,” Fritze said. “We need to get these kids off of drill music, get them off of YouTube and watching these videos. When we get on and we watch and that commercial gets on, whoever pulled that trigger is getting funding. Getting funding to go do it again.”
GRA: That's five murders solved out of several hundred, but it IS something. Rap has no redeeming qualities.

White police chief, Eric Winstrom, is happy to be leaving grand rapids (for florida); he was so deperate to get out that he took a $25,000 pay cut; last day... march 1st

GRA: A final one-on-one with, probably the last White police chief in my lifetime, here in grand rapids. chief Eric Winstrom, in an interview with woodtv, said, "I thought I was going to retire here, but certain incidents happened that forced me to go to florida."
It was a fairly honest look back on his four years and, though he didn't name blacks or mex as the reason for wanting out of grand rapids, viewers knew what Winstrom meant.
"my family was threatened, attacked at home by brick throwing individuals, who disagreed with my view of the Patrick Lyoya case. in a store, one (minority) person came up to me, while I was with my wife and kids and went right up to me and started yelling and shrieking. there were other incidents and threats. I had to look out for my family."

GRA: A final one-on-one with, probably the last White police chief in my lifetime, here in grand rapids. chief Eric Winstrom, in an interview with woodtv, said, "I thought I was going to retire here, but certain incidents happened that forced me to go to florida."
It was a fairly honest look back on his four years and, though he didn't name blacks or mex as the reason for wanting out of grand rapids, viewers knew what Winstrom meant.
"my family was threatened, attacked at home by brick throwing individuals, who disagreed with my view of the Patrick Lyoya case. in a store, one (minority) person came up to me, while I was with my wife and kids and went right up to me and started yelling and shrieking. there were other incidents and threats. I had to look out for my family."

Long Day's Journey into Night (1962): See the movie version, starring Kate Hepburn, Ralph Richardson, Jason Robards and Dean Stockwell
Re-posted by N.S.
Eugene O'Neill was long recognized as America's greatest dramatist. Of his many plays, a trilogy of masterpieces was comprised by The Iceman Cometh (1946), and A Moon for the Misbegotten (1957) and this play, both of which were staged posthumously, with Journey being staged in 1956, and winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Iceman runs about four hours long, and is an answer to the question, "What does man do without God?" Dostoevsky had famously stated, "Without God, anything is possible," but he meant that in the worst possible way. Without God, you kill your wife.
According to ibdb, A Moon for the Misbegotten was staged in 1973 and 1984, which would mean my mom and I saw it in 1974, starring Jason Robards Jr. and Colleen Dewhurst. This play was about the "Tyrone" (read: O'Neill) family.
The father's (James Sr.) a drunk, the mother's (Mary) a drug addict, one son is a drunken mischief-maker, and the one is dying of consumption. In this version, Jason Robards, who was O'Neill's alter ego (or simply, O'Neill), played Jamie, while Dean Stockwell played the consumptive son, Edmund.
Kate Hepburn was up for Best Actress for this version, but lost out to Anne Bancroft (real name: Anna Italiano) in The Miracle Worker, in which Bancroft played the world's greatest teacher, Annie Sullivan. Patty Duke played the young Helen Keller, who was born deaf, dumb, and blind. Duke won the Oscar for Best Supporing Actress.
There is no pure production of Journey. There is always a big star headlining it, and the director or dramaturg works on the script, making the headliner's role relatively larger, and his counterpart's role smaller. Thus, Hepburn's role was huge, while Richardson's role was diminished. Conversely, when my late mom and I saw the Broadway revival featuring Jack Lemmon in 1986, Lemmon showed poor judgment in having his role made sweet and huggable. Meanwhile, as Mary Tyrone, the legendary Bethel Leslie, herself a severe, statuesque, WASP stunner, had very little to work with. But the supporting cast was stunning: Kevin Spacey, who would rise to the heights as one of America's greatest actors AND impressionists, played Jamie, while Peter Gallagher played Edmund. (By the way, have I told you that just last week, Kevin Spacey raped me?!)
Jack Lemmon was one of the greatest actors in the history of pictures. If you see only one Lemmon of a picture, make it Save the Tiger (1973), which won him his second Oscar, about Harry Stoner, a man in the rag trade suffering a nervous breakdown, just as the yearly industry convention, which he's hosting, gets under way.
GRA will recommend, instead, The Apartment (1960), about a lonely schlemiehl crunching numbers for an insurance company who is in love from afar with Fran Kubelik, the beautiful, sweet, elevator girl played by Shirley MacLaine. Both characters are being used by insurance executive Fred MacMurray, et al. Shoiley got cheated out of her Oscar, because Lizzie Taylor suffered one of her periodic near-death illnesses at the beginning of the Oscar voting period. (Thus, did Shoiley--who was also brilliant--cheat Debbie Winger out of her Oscar for Terms of Endearment (1983), when the Academy gave her her make-up Oscar. But why was Taylor even nominated for her awful performance for Butterfield 8, in the first place?
The Apartment was certainly the greater picture. Either way, Jack Lemmon, a WASP, revolutionized American pictures and revived Billy Wilder's career, by playing a Jewish type. If Lemmon hadn't come along, someone else would have played the schlemiehl--someone inferior to him.

What was the Greatest Sports Movie of All Time? A Comprehensive List!
By Nicholas Stix
"@alanchamberlain9967 "Hoosiers" is widely regarded as the greatest sports movie of all time. Had these deleted scenes not been cut, it might be regarded as one of the greatest movies of all time, period."
Nonsense. You first statement wasn't even true. Hoosiers wasn't a great movie. The final sequence is tv-level mediocre (of Milan high school's 1950s' championship run, which really happened). Hackman is great, and there are many other fine performances, but it doesn't have the writing or directing to be a great movie.
Here is the complete list of the greatest sports movies of all time:
1. The Natural (1984). The performances, Malamud's story, and Barry Levinson's screenplay and direction are there, but the not-so-secret star is Randy Newman's music, which is the greatest movie score I've ever heard. For years I told myself, "With so many astounding scores by the likes of Elmer, Bernard, Aaron, Maurice Jarre, Jerry, Steiner, et al., it can't possibly be that good, but recently, after the deaths of Duvall, may he rest in peace, and Robert Redford, I watched scenes from it again, and it was.
2. Field of Dreams (1989). Sure, the acting is excellent (even Kevin Costner is pretty good), as are the script and direction by Phil Alden Robinson, but again the music by the late James Horner, may he rest in peace, is the secret star. And he knew nothing ("the 50-yard line") of baseball!
3. The Pride of the Yankees (1942). Herman Mankiewicz' script and Sam Wood's direction are both fine, and the cast is wonderful ("tangle foot!"), but this is Coop's picture--and he wasn't even lefthanded!
4. Not worth mentioning.
5. Not worth mentioning.
6. Not worth mentioning.
7. Not worth mentioning.
8. Not worth mentioning.
9. Not worth mentioning.
10. Not worth mentioning.

"Affirmative action today, affirmative action tomorrow, affirmative action forever."
By An Old Friend
Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2026 at 08:50:47 PM EST
Subject: "Affirmative action today, affirmative action tomorrow, affirmative action forever."
Despite the supposed great triumph of the 2023 Supreme Court case that slapped down Harvard and U of North Carolina, we're really still stuck with affirmative action, as Patrick Henry College political-science prof Jesse Merriam makes clear below. It's a great follow-on to an article he published in 2023 before the Supreme Court released its ruling and from which I take the quote in my subject line.
Affirmative Action: Our 'Unslayable Ghoul'
Editor's Note
Cold civil wars are defined by recurrence. Programs are struck down, declared finished, and quietly rebuilt under new names. Institutional defeats become occasions for refinement. The deeper conflict is not over any single policy, but over the moral architecture that governs our ruling class. Until that architecture is confronted, each apparent victory will prove provisional.
This essay, from Jesse Merriam, treats affirmative action as a case study in how the destructive regime survives — and why the struggle is more enduring than many on the Right wish to admit.
In 2023, the Supreme Court banned race-conscious admissions in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard. The assumption thereafter was that affirmative action would collapse. It did not.
Helen Andrews, in her recent Compact essay "America Needs a Better Meritocracy," notes that Asian enrollment at Harvard jumped from 26 percent in the class of 2025 to 41 percent in the class of 2029, white enrollment dropped from 47 percent to approximately 31 percent, and black and Latino shares remained a roughly stable "critical mass," with relatively small fluctuations. Based on these numbers, Andrews concludes that "Harvard did not stop discriminating by race; it simply stopped doing so against Asians."
Unlike many commentators who prematurely declared affirmative action dead after SFFA, Andrews recognizes that racial preferences have survived the Supreme Court's ruling.
But even Andrews' more sophisticated reading misses something crucial. What Harvard's enrollment data reveals is not merely that discrimination persisted, but that the institution executed precisely the adaptation strategy outlined during the SFFA litigation itself. During oral argument, plaintiffs' counsel (i.e., the group challenging Harvard's affirmative action program) explicitly suggested that Harvard could manipulate socioeconomic and experiential factors to reduce white enrollment while maintaining an "absolute floor" of ten percent black enrollment. After the SFFA Court prohibited explicit racial preferences, Harvard preserved the outcomes it viewed as legitimacy-essential — black and Latino representation — by using white enrollment as the adjustment variable, exactly as the litigation had mapped out.
The admissions mechanism changed; the moral imperative for diversity did not. As I have explained in various essays, this is exactly what anyone who understands our constitutional regime should have expected from the SFFA decision. This dynamic of adaptation rather than elimination is precisely what makes affirmative action so difficult to dislodge. In this sense, Andrews shows a greater understanding of American constitutional law than many of the nation's leading scholars.
Consider, for example, how at the conclusion of the Court's most recent term, Yale Law School professor Jed Rubenfeld declared that "the era of affirmative action really has come to an end." As I explained in a lengthy law review article tracing the lineage of such proclamations about "the end of affirmative action," scholars and commentators have repeatedly announced affirmative action's death — only to watch its supposed corpse spring back to life, time and again.
In each instance, the obituary followed a familiar pattern. After a Supreme Court decision appeared to deliver a decisive blow — invalidating a racial preference in a particular area of law — the ruling was widely hailed as the end of the affirmative action regime. Yet, soon after the decision was issued, it became clear that affirmative action had not been eliminated or even meaningfully weakened.
This persistence gives rise to a striking paradox. For two generations, the Supreme Court — in cases ranging from government contracting to public employment to university admissions — has repeatedly invalidated affirmative action programs as a matter of constitutional law. Over that period, the public has consistently opposed affirmative action as a matter of policy, and several state governments have formally banned the use of racial preferences in their public colleges and universities. Despite this sustained legal, social, and political resistance, affirmative action has managed not merely to survive but to strengthen — migrating, rebranding, and embedding itself ever more deeply within institutional practices.
This pattern has created what I have called "the affirmative action regime." By this, I mean not a single program but a system of racial preferences and diversity-driven policy decisions that, over several decades, have come to pervade large swaths of American public and private life.
It is a regime, then, and not a policy, as it governs despite resistance. Indeed, few — if any — programs in modern American public life have shown this degree of resilience in the face of such broad and sustained opposition.
To explain why affirmative action has survived, and why even the Trump administration's current offensive will likely fall short, this essay proceeds in two parts. The first is retrospective and theoretical, focusing on why past efforts to end affirmative action have failed. The second is prospective and political, examining what the Trump administration is now attempting and why these efforts, despite their unprecedented scope, remain constrained by the constitutional morality that sustains the regime.
A Three-Part Framework Explaining Conservative Failure
To understand why the movement against affirmative action has repeatedly stalled, we need a more general account of what enables political movements to effect durable change through judicial power. Over the last decade, I have argued that legal liberalism and legal conservatism operate according to fundamentally different movement logics — differences that help explain why liberals have been far more successful at translating court victories into lasting political transformation.
Three distinctions matter most: support structures, political nexus, and public morality.
The first concerns what judicial-politics scholars call support structures: the network of organizations, resources, and professional incentives that sustain a legal movement over time. The legal left possesses an extensive infrastructure devoted to strategic litigation, including organizations such as the ACLU, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Lambda Legal, and Planned Parenthood. These organizations file cases as part of long-term litigation campaigns designed to reshape judicial doctrine, institutional practices, and public norms.
Legal conservatism lacks anything comparable. The Federalist Society — the movement's central institutional node — does not litigate at all. Libertarian-oriented firms such as the Institute for Justice and the Pacific Legal Foundation pursue deregulatory agendas largely orthogonal to conservative politics. Alliance Defending Freedom comes closest to functioning as a conservative analogue to the ACLU, but its mission is substantively narrow and its institutional reach far more limited. The result is a movement that can win doctrinal victories without possessing the organizational capacity to translate those victories into durable governance.
The second distinction concerns political nexus. Courts do not operate in isolation. Judicial decisions are shaped by, and depend upon, the broader political environment — not only in how opinions are written, but also in whether rulings are implemented, expanded, or quietly neutralized. Successful legal movements must therefore work in concert with political actors willing and able to give judicial decisions practical force.
Here again, legal conservatism has been at a disadvantage. For decades, the conservative legal movement has centered itself on originalism — a theory of interpretation rather than a political program. Many leading figures within that movement have explicitly distanced themselves from partisan politics and, in some cases, actively opposed dominant factions within the Republican Party. Legal liberalism, by contrast, has often worked in close coordination with the Democratic Party to advance shared policy objectives through both judicial and administrative governance.
The third and most important distinction concerns public morality. Most social change does not occur through judicial decrees alone. It occurs through voluntary private action — through universities, corporations, nonprofits, and cultural institutions responding to what they perceive as moral obligation. A successful legal movement must therefore align itself with the governing moral ethos of the constitutional order.
On this dimension, legal liberalism enjoys a decisive advantage.
In various works over the last several years — most notably in my 2023 booklet How We Got Our Antiracist Constitution: Canonizing Brown v. Board of Education in Courts and Minds — I have argued that the civil-rights revolution did not merely reshape constitutional doctrine but entrenched a governing constitutional morality, one that persists regardless of, and often in tension with, formal law. That morality is organized around two mutually reinforcing imperatives and is enforced not primarily through judicial holdings but through institutional practice.
On the affirmative side, diversity is treated as a supreme moral good, operationalized by universities, accrediting bodies, federal agencies, corporate compliance offices, and human-resources departments, such that any institution unable to demonstrate it faces scrutiny and sanction. On the negative side, discrimination is treated as the supreme evil, such that any legal rule that obstructs the eradication of discrimination must likewise yield.
Once this constitutional morality is entrenched, opposition becomes largely internal rather than external. Legal conservatives have thus been forced to argue within these two axes rather than against them. In doing so, they have surrendered much of what would otherwise be a fundamental critique of affirmative action.
A Debate Over How, Not Whether, to Practice Affirmative Action
This dynamic helps explain why affirmative action and DEI programs have persisted despite decades of opposition. In my 2023 law review article, "Why DEI Will Not Die," I applied this three-part framework to show how institutional weakness, political disengagement, and moral asymmetry combined to insulate affirmative action from effective challenge.
For many years, the only legal organization consistently filing lawsuits against affirmative action was the Center for Individual Rights, a small firm with limited resources. At the political level, national Republicans largely avoided the issue, constrained by alliances with business interests and the military, both of which had embraced diversity programs. At the moral level, opposition to affirmative action was forced to speak the language of diversity itself.
The result is that contemporary disputes over affirmative action are rarely debates about whether racial preferences should exist at all. They are debates about how affirmative action should be practiced — namely, which racial proxies to employ, which metrics to prioritize, and which mechanisms best obscure the role of race while preserving desired outcomes.
This was illustrated vividly within the Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard litigation, in which none of the parties was willing to defend a color-blind, merit-based admissions system grounded in academic criteria alone. The reason was obvious. Based on Harvard's own admissions data, a purely academic top-ten-percent admissions system would have yielded black enrollment under one percent (the precise percentage in the year in question was 0.76 percent).
Such a result is morally intolerable within a constitutional order that treats diversity as a foundational good. Accordingly, even the plaintiffs challenging Harvard's admissions practices were careful to emphasize that alternative criteria could be used to "boost underrepresented minority representation" and reduce white enrollment. During oral argument, plaintiffs' counsel suggested that Harvard could manipulate socioeconomic and experiential factors to guarantee an "absolute floor" of ten percent black enrollment, and likely more, using Harvard's sophisticated admissions data. The implication was unmistakable: even the challengers resisted race-blind meritocracy as politically — and morally — unacceptable.
The problem with Harvard's program, in other words, was not that it sought racially calibrated outcomes, but that it pursued them too openly. The litigation instead pressed institutions to embed racial preferences more subtly within nominally race-neutral frameworks.
This is what constitutional governance looks like when it is structured around the moral imperative of diversity. Whether one purports to oppose or defend affirmative action, the shared commitment is not to color-blind meritocracy but to preserving racially calibrated elite institutions — where underrepresentation is treated as a problem only for some groups, and the dispute concerns how to maintain that calibration without drawing undue attention to how it is achieved.
The Aftermath of SFFA
This dynamic explains why the Supreme Court's SFFA decision, despite invalidating Harvard's and UNC's explicit policies, stopped well short of banning affirmative action outright — and why it was immediately followed by the familiar round of affirmative-action autopsies. In response, I warned that these autopsies would once again prove premature and predicted that the decision would do little to alter racial outcomes in elite admissions.
Based on the first year of data, that prediction appears to have been correct. A recent study by the New York Times of 59 colleges found a very modest (roughly one percent) drop after the SFFA ruling in Hispanic and black enrollment. Likewise, a City Journal study found that at highly selective colleges "black enrollment … remained virtually unchanged." The same was true in law school enrollment, where black enrollment decreased by only .13 percent and Hispanic enrollment remained "almost identical to the prior year."
Observers expressed genuine surprise. Writing in The Atlantic, Rose Horowitch noted that, following the SFFA decision, many selective institutions had seemingly increased their affirmative action efforts, concluding that "things have not gone the way anyone expected." But this, of course, is exactly what I expected. It wasn't because I had some special interpretation of the SFFA ruling, or some special insight into how university admissions work. Rather, it was because I understood what controls our constitutional order.
It is not the Constitution, and it is not even the Supreme Court. It is our civil-rights morality.
The Harvard enrollment data that opened this essay illustrates the mechanism. After SFFA foreclosed explicit racial preferences, Harvard did not abandon its commitment to maintaining certain racial outcomes. It preserved a critical mass of black and Latino representation by dramatically restructuring its incoming class — substantially increasing Asian enrollment and lowering white enrollment. But this was not the elimination of affirmative action: It was adaptation through substitution. And it was entirely predictable — perhaps even inevitable — as the working out of civil-rights constitutionalism in an increasingly diverse social order.
Our Unslayable Ghoul
The persistence of affirmative action calls to mind a famous passage from Justice Scalia's concurrence in a 1993 Supreme Court case. In it, Scalia described how a repeatedly discredited legal doctrine would inevitably reappear: "like some ghoul in a late-night horror movie that repeatedly sits up in its grave and shuffles abroad, after being repeatedly killed and buried."
Affirmative action occupies a similar place in our constitutional order. No matter how often it is invalidated, condemned, or banned, it returns — reshaped, renamed, and newly justified — because it is sustained by the moral logic of the civil-rights regime itself. Perhaps only a political actor willing to override institutional norms and moral conventions could finally confront this ghoul. Could that actor be President Trump?
In a second installment, I will take up that question.
